Rouge awoke in a strange metal room. There were no windows or lights, but it was strangely bright.

"Gambit." she muttered to herself.

"Dat be Remy," Gambit said. She turned around, facing the crimson red eyes.

"What did yah do te meh?" Rouge asked.

"Orders, chere."

"But why? Can't yah disobey?"

"Remy disobey, Remy's fam'ly dies. Big problem."

Rouge nodded. "What does Apocalypse want with meh?"

"Remy have no idea. Gambit jus' a lackey."

"Can yah stop saying de Gambit and Remy stuff? It's irritating."

"Remy stop dis when Rougey stop the accent."

"Not fair, Cajun. Yah are a Cajun, right?"

"Remy from New Orleans. Remy guesses he is."

"And another thing, Cajun. This touch thing ain't a trick, is it?"

"Does the chere think Remy knows?"

"Ah suck the life outta others! Why not you?"

"Remy got a. friend, who can help explain."

"Who is this guy?"

"A man called Mr. McCoy."

Evan fired a series of spikes at the Marauder Harpoon. Harpoon easily dodged it and in turn fired a harpoon at him. Evan stepped aside just in time and the harpoon flew past him harmlessly.

"Come 'ere, you Porcupine!" Harpoon yelled, lunging at Evan. He rolled away, as Harpoon hit the floor. He used to spikes to pin Harpoon to the floor and ran off to fight others.

Callisto was doing fine on her own. She skillfully shot Sabretooth in the arm, and he howled in pain. But he pulled it out easily and the wound closed. His healing factor was a great asset. He lunged at Callisto with a howl. Callisto flinched, but managed to jump away in time. Sabretooth landed on both feet, and sped towards her again. But this time, he stopped halfway and fell to the ground. Plague, a mutant who could spread disease just by touching people, stood behind.

"So, what was it this time?" Callisto asked.

"Tuberculosis."

"But there's a cure."

"Which doctor will treat a madman?"

"Quite true." Callisto aimed at another Marauder attacking Leech. The Marauder fell and Leech turned to her and smiled.

Marrow was the worse. She was facing Blockbuster and Malice, two of the most powerful in the Marauders. She pulled out a spike and threw it at Malice, but she easily dodged it. Blockbuster charged at her, gritting his teeth. A spike flew from the side and landed in front of him, sticking out of the ground. He tripped, face hitting the hard ground.

"Didn't anybody teach you not to bully girls?" Evan said, stepping out of the shadows.

Malice leapt at him out of nowhere. This time it was Marrow's turn to save him. She threw a spike at the green-haired girl, but it was knocked away by some weird looking force.

"Don't attack her! She's Lorna, but Malice has taken over her mind!" a man said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Alex?!" Evan said, shocked.

Magma woke up. She was floating in the air. Looking around, she saw the others. Iceman was in a tank of water with a metal cover on top. If he used his power, we would be frozen. Nightcrawler was in some kind of see- through dome. He could not teleport. Each time he tried, a bang was heard and he found himself in the dome again. Jean and Cyclops had some both had a funny-looking helmet on, which covered most of their heads. Multiple was nowhere to be seen.

"Ah. Someone is awake," a man said. Pyro walked in, smirking wildly, "welcome to the Lab, Sheila."

"I'm not Sheila," Amara said, "I'm Amara." Pyro smacked his head.

"Never-mind. Oh yeah, you'd better not create any fire there, Sh-, girl."

"Why not?"

"That tanks filled with hydrogen. One little flame and boom, you're outta this world."

"Then how do I breathe? How do the rest breathe?"

"A little gadget was planted around each of your chests, near the lungs."

Amara blushed. "Did you. if you did, I'm gonna kill you."

"Relax, Sheila. The female evil scientist did it."

"Oh. still, if you."

"I already told you, Sheila, I didn't!"

"Stop calling me Sheila! I'm Amara!"

"Okay, okay. Amara."

"Oh shut up."

"Make me." Pyro fished to lighters out of his pocket. He flicked both open and clicked them. Two tiny flames 'popped' out. He used his power and 'shaped' them, making a face with a tongue sticking out.

"I hate you. I hate you stuck-up kinda guys."

"I'm working on that. You'd probably fall head over heels over me soon."

"Oh shut up."

"Okay, okay. Amara."

"And where is Jamie?"

"The little kid? We let him go. Somewhere really far away."

A booming burst of thunder rumbled. Todd hopped around the house, looking for flies. Freddy was on the sofa, watching TV and munching on his seventh sandwich. Lance was nowhere to be seen and Wanda was busy sulking somewhere else. Suddenly, the bell rang.

"I got it, yo!" Todd said, hopping towards the door. "Welcome to the Brotherhood House, yo! What brings you to this deserted place?" he said cheerfully, looking out. And there, dripping wet, was the one and only Jamie Madrox.

(End!)
