Logan knew something was wrong. It was too easy. Getting in was just too
easy. He sniffed the air, trying to locate Rogue's scent.
He found it.
He fallowed it down the hallway and into a room. The sliding doors opened to reveal Rogue standing in a corner with her back towards him. Magneto was standing beside her.
"Get out."
The tension in the room shattered momentarily at that one sudden statement.
"Excuse me?" Logan asked, shocked.
"Get out." Rogue repeated, "He's going to make me--"
Magneto silenced her by placing a gloved hand over her mouth. He pinched her right arm.
"Let her go." Logan growled.
"Ok."
Magneto released her and she turned around, her arms outstretched before her. She was wearing some kind of metal gloves. Her shoes wear odd looking too. She slowly started to walk towards him.
"Run!!" She screamed at him, tears in her eyes.
Logan couldn't move.
Rogue pulled backwards and tried to jerk away, but she couldn't.
"Ironic, isn't it?" Magneto said smoothly and he walked beside her, "You touch her to save her life and in return she touches you to end yours."
Rogue's right leg lashed out kicking him right in the ankle. Once out of his control, she punched him in the gut and kneed him in the groin.
She ran to Logan as Magneto toppled over in pain.
"The gloves!" She cried.
Logan's claws ejected out of his hands, through his gloves, and sliced through the gloves. Rogues hands bled from new, deep scratches on the tops of her hands. Logan's aim had been a little off.
"Sorry."
"It's ok, just run."
They got halfway down the hallway when he halted.
Magneto.
Rogue yanked off her shoes and wrapped her arms around Logan, her hands bleeding freely on his shirt. She closed her eyes in deep concentration, forcing her will to be stronger than Magneto's.
They only floated an inch off of the ground, but it was enough. They zoomed down the hall and were close to the exit, but the sliding doors snapped shut. Logan flew out of Rogue's grasp and had his back pressed against the ceiling. Rogue fell to the ground.
"I wasn't asking for this to he hard, but you gave me no choice."
Magneto scoffed as he strode towards them.
"Stupid girl." Magneto said as he pulled Rogue up on her feet.
As soon as she was standing he struck her back down.
She screamed in pain and rage. She jumped to her feet, adrenaline surging through her veins. She lunged forward with a jump kick.
Logan fell to the ground.
"Marie!" He yelled pulling her back.
The two doors slid open, but only Logan walked through them. Magneto grabbed Rogue's foot, pulling her down. Her hand slid out of Logan's and she fell with a sickening 'bang'.
The doors closed before Logan could get back through.
"No!" He roared.
"What? What is it?" Scott asked as he ran up to Logan.
Storm, Jean, and Bobby were right behind him.
"Blast it! Blast the damn door!!"
Scott chose not to question and everybody stood back.
There was nothing on the other side of the doorframe. Only blood remained.
"Down the hall and to the right." Jean said.
The rest took her lead.
Something pulled Scott's feet out from under him. Toad threw Scott against the wall and did the same with Jean.
"You." He snarled as he tackled Storm.
Rogue's shriek tore through the air.
Logan couldn't linger. He sprinted towards the sound. Bobby followed.
*~*~*
She did it.
Rogue killed Magneto.
He came after her with a syringe. She only defended herself.
He'd dragged her back into the lab using the secret entrance. He picked her up and slammed her on the table. He chocked her, trying to keep her still. He grabbed a nearby tube of something and attached it to a needle.
That's when it happened.
She lashed out with her feet, not knowing where she hit him. She felt around for something, screaming as she broke a large beaker and stabbed him with the largest shard of glass.
He fell.
She fell with him.
It was at that moment that Mystique ran in.
"No!!" she screamed, "You little whore!!!"
Mystique dove at Rogue, ramming her against a shelf. Books fell on them as they fought. Mystique pulled the shelf over and Rogue scrambled out from under it just in time.
Mystique stalked over to Magneto's body and grabbed the syringe off of the floor. She went to a cabinet and opened it taking a vile filled with a black liquid. She mixed it with the contents of the syringe.
Rogue tried to run, but Mystique caught her at the door.
"This is for Eric!"
Rogue screamed as the needle was stabbed into her arm. Before Mystique had the chance to inject the mixture, Rogue grabbed Mystique's hand and yanked down and out. White-hot pain stung her brain as the needle tore through the flesh and muscle of Rogue's upper left arm. A fresh five-inch gash spewed blood as she pushed Mystique away.
She lost.
There was no way Rogue could keep up this fight.
She was done.
There was so much redness.
Wetness.
She was so dizzy.
So tired.
But, she kept standing.
She would stand her ground until the very end.
*~*~*
The hallways were so damn complicated. There was no door where Jean had said there was. They kept hearing her scream, but they couldn't find her. Rogue's scent was lost. All Logan could smell was blood.
They ended up back where they had started.
"Did you find her?" Scott asked.
"What do you think?" Logan snapped.
"Where did Toad go?" Storm gagged as she limped up.
Jean looked around, searching with her mind.
"Oh no." She whispered.
*~*~*
Rogue watched helplessly as Toad jumped right in front of her stopping Mystique just as she was about to kill her. She had to do something to help him.
Quickly.
She bent down and picked up a large book and threw it with her right arm, her good arm.
It hit Mystique in the temple, but it was too late. She had already snapped Toad's neck. He didn't even have a chance.
He had risked his life for her.
She ran and kicked Mystique's lifeless body, crying as she did so.
"This is for Toad!! This is for Toad!!!!" She cried in an insane howl.
"And this is for me." Magneto moaned with his last breath.
Rogue didn't see the large, metal test tube rack float up from behind her. She did, however, feel it smash against her skull. She dropped to the floor like a rag doll.
All four people in the lab were now dead.
A/N: DUN DUN DUN!!!! Sorry kids, but this is where I leave you for now. Hahaha!!!
Sorry about the 'Sorry kids' there. Logan's speech is rubbing off on me. That and my best friend's brother always refers to me as 'kid' and I see him quite frequently.
Two chapies in one day. How quaint.
Yeah, I'll stop typing now. It's late and I need my sleep.
SUMMER KICKS BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later days.
