Chapter next: Hope Anew. AKA copy right infringement

Kurt came to his senses. He was still in front of the burger shop. Agh! I've wasted so much time! I have to save her and I'm lying on the ground like a wuss! Kurt mentally slapped himself. Kurt sat down and began planning. I'll go to the Professor and tell him everything, except I'll try to hide the fact that it was all my fault. Nobody knows about it but me, right? But isn't that enough? You know you did it. You know who's to blame for this mess, don't you. He decided to figure out all the blame later. Now he had to get the professor to find them with that super computer of his. The Professor would make everything right. Wouldn't he?

Amanda came to her senses. She felt drowsy. What happened. All she remembered was walking home with Kurt, and then……. Ah-no. She was locked in a small room with that new girl at the institute. What was her name? Oh yeah, Samantha. Her head felt like a elephant from hell had been sent with the special task of standing on it. She sat up and looked at her surroundings more carefully. She was in a storage room of some sort. It was loaded with tools and other various equipment. Samantha was wide awake and seemed to be deep in thought. How did she get here anyway.

"Um…. Hello? What's going on here. Why are you here and why was I kidnapped by a man with a German accent and taken to a shed who knows where. I hate to be pushy, but, he-he I'd kinda like to know."

"Omega Red is Russian not German and I didn't think he knew we were here." She replied as much to herself as to Amanda.

"So it's you he wants?"

"Me and my brother, but more me than him. He lives off peoples life force, and I have an unlimited one. If he absorbs my energy, he's unstoppable until the energy he took is depleted. After that he comes back for more. I'm a never ending source of power to him. If he absorbs long enough, he'll be strong enough to take down any other mutant out there. Even Magneto or Xavier." Samantha stated matter-of-factly.

"You don't seem very worried." Amanda noted.

"It takes him a while to absorb that much power. In the meantime, I hope the professor and the others can find us. I know Kurt wont give up so easily on you."

"What makes you say that?" Amanda asked, a little take back. She hesitated

"He…..uh……..He seems to like you a lot. A whole lot."

Amanda sensed Samantha knew something she didn't, but didn't press the matter. She wondered briefly on this before she heard footsteps outside the storage room. The Russian walked in. He wrapped his cable thing around Samantha and began to drain her. She glared into his eyes the whole time, showing fierce determination. Amanda had screamed in pain and passed out, she just took it. When the mutant leech had apparently had enough, he set Samantha down and left the way he came. The instant he left Samantha started crying. It looked like she still felt the pain of being drained even if she didn't run out of energy. Amanda tried her best to comfort her.

"You're right. Kurt will come with the others. He'll kick this guys ass and we'll all live happily ever after."

"No. Kurt wont kick his ass. I will." she said, her tear stained eyes still showing that fiery determination. As Amanda stared into her eyes, she didn't doubt it.
