"Logan! Logan, wake up!"
A blurry image of Jean Grey was coming into focus. Were his eyes even open? Can you have your eyes open and not even realize it? Why was Jean here? Death hurts like hell.
Marie!
He jolted upwards up to his feet, swaying, as his world seemed to spin around him. He tripped over his own feet and fell, taking Jean with him. He groaned as he pressed his fingers to his temple. He forgot how much his head hurts after.
His hand suddenly became cold; like ice. Bobby helped Logan up to his feet. Scott helped Jean. Logan looked around. Storm and the Professor were in Marie's classroom too.
"Were is she?" Bobby asked trying to stay calm. He made sure Logan was steady on his feet.
"She's been taken by Magneto." Professor Xavier said reading Logan's mind.
The mood in the room changed from fear to panic.
"They screwed up." Logan grunted.
Everyone turned to face him.
"They were supposed to take me too."
*~*~*
She didn't even ask where they were taking her; she already knew. Toad stuffed her into the van and hopped in to join her. In moments the engine started and Rogue grew farther and farther way from her safety, her home.
More than anything she wished that they'd have taken Logan too. She didn't want to go through this alone again.
Toad grabbed her wrists and locked cuffs around them.
"Nice." He commented noticing the ring on her gloved finger.
Her cheeks flushed. She chose not to answer.
As he was placing cuffs around her ankles his right arm started to twitch. It was slight at first, but it grew to become tremors. It stopped after a minute and Rogue doubted what she even saw.
"The implications of being struck by lightning." He explained seeing the confused look on her face.
He extended his tongue. A good portion of it was black.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt?" She found herself asking.
"You get used to it"
He finished tightening her cuffs in silence.
"Comfy enough for you?"
She didn't know whether he meant for it to be a joke or just a cruel remark, but she laughed anyway.
Much to her surprise, Toad laughed too.
*~*~*
He sort of felt bad. His heart went out to the girl in chains that sat before him. She cared enough to see if he was all right after his muscle spasm.
He understood why they needed her two years ago. Why do they need her now?
Those two shared secrets. They probably shared more. Toad was sure there was a more plausible reason why they needed the girl. They would probably just tell him later.
But still, he couldn't ignore the silent tear that slid down the girl's cheek.
A/N: I just got X-Men 1.5 and I stayed up all night watching all the extra goodies. The commentary is a blast to listen to and you find out that Sean Ashmore has an identical twin brother. Nice to know.
Anyway, I realized that earlier I said impulsive typing and later I said compulsive typing. They are the same thing. Perhaps I confused you, or maybe you just don't care. Just thought I'd straighten that little deal out.
I'm also thinking about making a sequel. It would be the first sequel I would write for any of my stories. I kind of have the plotline down, but let me know what you think. Tell me if you think that a sequel is a good idea or if I should toss the whole idea out.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU SUPPORT SO FAR!!!!!!!
DAVID BOWIE FOREVER!!!!!
I am halfway done with the story. Until next time.
