Part Five: Fury, and Escape plans
"Commander Fury," the lieutenant said, rushing to his commander's side as he walked along the prison halls.
"What is it?" Fury asked, stopping before a cell and looking at the mutant within. The mutant growled and lunged against the chains that held him. The lieutenant stepped back in fear, but Fury did not. He was used to this mutant's behavior.
"Well?" Fury demanded. "What's wrong?"
"What?" asked the lieutenant. He then realized what was wrong and said. "Oh! Right. Um…I have the information you requested, except there's been a small catch."
"Like what?" Fury demanded as he walked along the halls again.
"Like the fact that the army has taken possession of the captured mutants, and have taken them to the Nevada base. Do you still want me to send the information?"
Fury sighed and continued to walk. "No. Scratch, your earlier orders. I'll be taking it over personally."
"You will? But what if command finds out?" the lieutenant asked.
"They won't," Fury said, dismissing the lieutenant and walking over to the high priority cells. He walked up to the sergeant in charge and asked what he had been called over for. But both Fury and the lieutenant were unaware that a white haired speedster known as Pietro had spied on them.

"What kind of place is this?" Kurt asked as he looked around anxiously at what could be seen from the clear plate of armored glass before him.
"A place I don't think we're very welcome in," Beast said as he, Evan, and Kurt watched a group of soldiers drag Wolverine over to a cell. They threw him in and shut glass before they walked out of the room.
"Is he okay?" Evan asked, watching as Wolverine groggily began to wake up.
"He'll be fine," said the general who was walking into the room. "But none of you will if you don't give me some of the answers that I need."
"Like what?" Evan asked, glaring at the general who obviously didn't like them.
"Like who you work for," the general sneered.
"None of your business," Logan snapped, fully recovered from his drugging.
The general glared. "I assure you. You will tell us who and what you are. If you don't…Well, let's just say you won't like it if you don't."
His threat said, the general turned around and walked out the door. At it's entrance, two armored guards could be seen to be hauling some heavy duty weaponry.
"How long till you think they know we can escape?" Beast asked Logan, who was extracting and retracting his atamantium claws.
"Not long," Logan said. "But, then again, we're not going to."
"What?!" demanded Evan and Kurt.
"Why not?" Kurt asked, his confusion evident upon his face.
"Cause we don't seem to have a way out of here," Logan said. "There's no transportation."
"So what do we do then?" Evan asked, sliding down against the wall to sit on the floor.
"We wait," Logan said, doing the same thing as Evan, still extracting his claws.
"For what?" Beast asked, looking around the room before them.
"For our rescue and our transportation to come to us," Logan said. "Now shut up and try not to worry. I promise you we'll get out soon. Help will come for us."
"If you say so," Kurt mumbled, and sat down, joining his comrades in arms in the wait for their rescue.
Logan just smirked as he thought over who their help would be. No way would these army guys like what would be the end result.

The 'help' Logan was thinking of was, at that moment, trying to help the doctors of Shinka to move the gurneys that held Kitty, Wanda, and Toad. The X-men watched the doctors while Chameleon, her cat-like partner, and Vyne were trying to move Mystique, who was fiercely fighting their every move.
"Ow!" Chameleon cried out when Mystique was able to land a kick to her jaw. She grabbed for the leg, but couldn't because Mystique had kicked out again and was dropped in the process. She got to her feet and bolted for the nearby forest. "Hey!" Scott yelled, and went after Mystique. He was stopped by two of the mutants who were standing by when they'd arrived.
"Don't worry!" one of them told Scott as he struggled to get away from them to go after the shape shifting mutant. "She won't go very far. And we can always track her down later."
"They're right you know," a feminine voice said.
Everyone turned and stared at the woman who stood before them. She was five foot, six inches tall, and olive skinned. Her hair was midnight black and pinned back into a bun. A small necklace hung around her neck, and she wore a sundress that bulged at her stomach. She smiled at them and said, "Welcome, everyone. Pardon my not coming over sooner, but the doctors needed my help. Please, come in. it's getting cold out here and my students are waiting for their dinner." The woman turned around and walked to the front doors of the large mansion. The two mutants holding Scott let go and followed her. So did everybody else who was out there. The X-men hesitated, but then followed as well.
From the shelter of the trees barely half a mile away, Mystique watched the X-men and the woman with a smile on her snake like face. "They don't know what they've done in letting me go," she said, fading into the shadows so as to get as far away as possible.
Although, it never occurred to her as to why she didn't use her powers to escape earlier while while her keepers were enroute to the mansion.
