Yey to all my reviewers. Right Dagger is my own creation, i did't even know there was another characters in the comic world with that name. Yey, i have the latest edition of the encylopedea..it also gives me ideas. Whoahahhahahaha!
Okay, i KNOW the original Forge lost his arm (and techinally his leg, but it doesn't really count here) in Vietnam. But Evo Forge was trapped in Middleverse, thus never went to Vitenam. So how the HECK did he lose his arm? I made it up, because Evo leaves plot holes. I am simply refilling them. Oooh on another note, i have seen all of season three bar Under Lock and Key now. Whooot!

Sidney stared, slightly unbeliveingly at the person in front of her. What was HE doing here? What would HE care about anything to do with the Brotherhood?
"Duncan?".
The jock shuffled his feet.
"Hi Sid", he said, "i..heard you had come back..so....how are you?".
Sidney narrowed her eyes slightly. Sure, she didn't despise the jock as much as she had done. And she HAD helped him out when he was stuck with his literature work. But still, she didn't think he'd come out of his way, to a place where there were people who would like to see him dead, just to see if she was really back in Bayville or not.
"I'm...fine..thank you", she said, flicking her tail, then sighing, "why..are you here, exactly?".
Duncan glanced at the ground again before looking back at Sidney.
"Can we talk?".
Sidney furrowed her brow before giving a defeated sigh. She leaned back into the house.
"I'm just going out Pie, do not, and i repeat DO NOT eat all of those twinkies by yourself in one sitting", she said, "i don't want to try and hook you off the roof with a golf club while you claim you are the Great Jerumongo".
She heard a comment back, but didn't catch it. She rolled her eyes, closing the door before looking at Duncan.
"Okay then, we'll walk".
****
"TALK!".
Rogue gave another cry of pain. She shuddered as Dagger clamped onto her arm with a vice. She closed her eyes as a flashback memory hit her. A car accident. People..firemen coming to the rescue. The jaws of life coming in...missing the door..grabbing her arm instead. She gave a cry shaking her head, no, not HER arm, Forge's arm.....a ten year old Forge's arm. The thing she hated most about the absrobtion process wasn't learning how to use another power, not even having another physce in her head and having that persons mannerisms. No, the worst part by far was the memories. She screamed again as Dagger increased the pressure. The flashback hit her again, the jaws of life squashing down, the sickening sound of bones being crushed to nothing, muscle and cartalige being ripped. She shook her head, snapping herself out of it. This wasn't happening to her arm, Dagger was putting very little pressure on it in reality. Rogue narrowed her eyes, kicking Dagger back with her foot, pulling her arm lose. Dagger grunted and looked at her in surprise.
"Having a little...memory trouble?", she sneered.
"How do you know all about me, and ma'h powers?", she snapped, "and Forge's fer that matter!".
"I work for Trask, remember?", said Dagger, "he has all the info he needs on scum like ya. Info he gave to me, to make my job much easier".
"Then ya'll know that the X-Men will come fer me", said Rogue, "and they'll stop you, believe me, they will".
"I am a trained assasin", shot back Dagger, "nothing scares me, not even death".
She leaned close to Rogue and smirked.
"Now are you going to use your borrowed mutant power to make this dampener...or do i have to use the vice again?", she asked.
Rogue closed her eyes and sighed, she was getting tired. Her arm hurt and there was no sign of the others. She looked up at Dagger with heavy eyes.
"Fine".
*******
Duncan and Sidney had been walking for ages, making small talk over what had happened to the other since they last saw each other. Sidney finally decided that enough was enough. The feline curiosity got the better of her.
"Okay Duncan, spill it", she said, crossing her arms, "you've rarely spoken to me in the past, i haven't seen you for God knows how long, and suddenly you're all nice to me?. What's going on?".
Duncan stared at her for a second before sighing, putting his hands in his pockets and staring at the ground.
"I missed you", he said, "i don't get it. After everything you did for me it was...weird. Like i saw you differently. I..i wanted to tell you how i felt, but you left. I came over as soon as i heard you'd moved back in. I had to see you".
Sidney cocked her head to the side, still confused.
"What are you getting at, Duncan?", she asked.
Duncan raised his green eyes to meet her own.
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you", he said, "i...i think i'm in love with you".
****
That was a bit of a cliff hanger..wasn't it? Whaohahahahhahaha! See, as proof that i do remember all of your reviews from past storys i have brought back the jock that everyone claimed had a thing for Sidney...one i didn't realise until now...Good God, i have given a character i hate depth...what's wrong with me? Anyhoo, please do review. What do you think about Duncan? What about my version of how Forgey lost his arm? Tell me! Until next time....
