The Sandy haird capturer paced the room. The woman that worked for him
seemed content doing a crossword puzzle from the newspaper. He sat down and
grabbed a different part of the newspaper.
After a bit of reading, the woman suddenly said, "Jackson! Look at the monitor!"
Jackson looked up to see the room the Goth was in. One of the men lay unconscious on the floor and the other man's fingers just brushed her cheek. He froze, and then fell.
Jackson mentally cursed himself and his luck. He got up and hurried down the hall to where he had placed the girl. As he opened the door the girl looked up at him, an evil grin spread across her face.
The girl seemed to be in a lot of pain, but also seemed to be ignoring it as she continued. "Hmmm. let's see, Mystique stole somethin' from ya; Ah don't know what; and y'want t'get it back and get revenge. Y'couldn't fihnd her. Y'knew it was because o' her mutation. Ah don't know how you figured that one out and yer men thought y'were crazy for thinkin' that. Well, y'went lookin' for people who could tell ya where she is. You couldn't find Irene, and Kurt was never under tha care of Mystique. So, y'resolved to Rogue; me; who knows nothin' about the whereabouts of Mystique!" She finished with a yell.
"How do you know all this?" He questioned.
"Y'think Mystique's the only one with powahs?!" She questioned. She shook her head and somehow did it in a way that made him look like a fool. "Y're really a fool. 'That' girl, adopted someone without bein' a mutant?! Y'really need to start using yer head!"
Jackson's face burned red. "How dare you?!" He growled.
Rogue somehow managed a slight shrug and made an innocent face. "What are you? Telepathic?" He questioned.
Rogue shook her head. "Not quite, but with yer thick skull, y'd never understand what it is Ah can do." Rogue replied in a sugar coated tone; but at the same time teasingly cruel.
Jackson's face turned even brighter red. He turned on his heel to hear her voice again. "Look, Ah could really use a restroom break."
He turned back around and glared at her. He eyed her suspiciously.
"When a ya gotta go, ya gotta go!" She replied, her voice revealing nothing.
The guy grumbled and looked around a couple of seconds at his minions. He was uneasy that he lost his backup and wondered how long it would take for them to wake up.
Jackson bent down over his two unconscious men and shook the one that had been lying on the ground the longest. The man grunted and weakly sat up.
"What is it? What happened?" He then looked sharply up at Rogue. "You! What did you do to me?" He demanded of her jumping to his feet. He quickly swayed though and nearly fell. "Don't touch her skin!" The man said suddenly to Jackson.
Jackson nodded and quickly walked over to the next man. He shook him roughly, but he didn't respond. Jackson shook him harder and the man jolted awake.
"What the?!" He yelped, sitting upright so suddenly he fell back in weakness. When Jackson looked back up at Rogue, she had a smug smile on her lips.
Jackson nodded in Rogue's direction then said to his two workers, "This little lady needs to use the little girl's room. Would you like to escort her?" Jackson asked.
The two men shook off their sleepiness (it seemed) and nodded obediently. Jackson then pulled out a key from his pocket and tossed it to Reed, the larger of his two men.
Reed took it and undid one of the shackles, but instantly took a firm grip on the girl's covered wrist. He brought it over to her other shackled wrist and tied the two together before unlocking that shackle.
After that, he tossed the keys to Trent (the other napper) to unshackle her ankles. He quickly did so, but as soon as her ankles were free, she pushed Trent away with one, a snarl on her face. Everyone had jumped forward when she had done so, afraid she might be trying to attack.
~
Rogue kicked the man away as soon as her feet were free. She considered fighting them off then, but the other man had grasped her arm painfully and the sandy haird man had leapt forward. He wasn't that big, but he seemed to have a wiry strength.
They all sighed in relief when she didn't pursue her attack and the man who had released her feet quickly grasped her other arm and arched his body slightly away from her, still afraid of attack. She was semi weak though. The two men's questioning was not to be taken lightly and she knew she had a few well rounded bruises. She didn't care much though. It was the same thing as a battle stimulation, right? Except this time there was a real threat if she didn't win.
When they neared the door and Sandy (the name she decided to call him since she didn't know his real name. Unfortunatly she hadn't caught that from the two men's memories in her haste to pick out only their reasoning for capturing her.) took out another key.
'Great!' She thought happily to herself as she noticed the ring of keys.
"Sir, the door's unlocked." One of the men pointed out. Rogue didn't care about who had said it, she was just happy that one of them had. It was going to help her later on. She didn't need to use the bathroom; she just wanted to get out and away!
She stomped her foot down suddenly onto the larger man's foot as hard as she could. The man bellowed in pain and he completely released her. The smaller man became frightened and edged away from her while Sandy leapt toward her.
She dodged away and brought her fist down on his back. "Reed, get her!" Sandy yelled to the larger guy. He instantly snapped into action and charged at her. Rogue easily maneuvered her body to the side, but Reed was ready for this. He turned to look at her, but she was already bringing her foot up for a kick. Her heel met his gut with deadly impact. He stumbled back and fell right onto his bottom.
"Trent!" Sandy called desperately, watching Rogue with horror in his eyes. She smiled at this.
Trent cautiously punched at her, but she could see that he was afraid. Rogue caught his fist with her bound hands and she twisted it painfully. He groaned in pain and Rogue threw a powerful side-kick at his ribs. There was a sickening crack and Trent fell to the ground, tears forming in his eyes.
Rogue looked down at him and shook her head.
Suddenly she felt arms wrap around her tightly. It was Sandy. His frame was smaller and harder to get at. She managed to elbow him in the chest and his grip loosened. Rogue was able to escape that, but by the time she had whirled around, Sandy was holding a knife.
Rogue threw one of her legs at his and knocked him to the floor. She quickly dropped to her knees; one on each side of him; and used his tight grip on the knife as an advantage and quickly cut the ropes around her wrist on it's blade.
With a quiet 'snap' the ropes broke free and the knife fell from Sandy's hand.
With speed she wouldn't have expected from him, he grasped her shoulders and did some fancy trick to push her back onto her own back and now he was the on with on knee on either side of her.
She grinned; how stupid could some men get? Her legs still completely free, she brought her knee up forcefully and as it made contact, Sandy's face contorted with complete and utter pain. He groaned loudly and rolled away from her holding himself in pain.
Rogue quickly got to her feet and smiled contently. She grabbed the ring of keys from the groaning man and looked around happily. All three men looked to be in pain, but Reed was now getting up, his face so red she thought it might burst.
He ran at her again like a raging bull, but she moved aside with simple stealth and held her hand out for a simple clothes pin effect. (A/N: (However that's written!) He fell to the ground, his head hitting the marble floor so hard he was instantly unconscious.
She quickly tucked the key ring into her pocket, opened the door, and headed down the corridor in front of her.
As she headed down the corridor a door swung open and a very powerful looking woman stood in her way.
'Awww crap! Jus' mah luck! When Ah'm so close!' Rogue muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave. I too want back what Mystique took." The woman said firmly.
Rogue sighed and slouched her shoulders slightly. "Look, fer the last tihme! Ah don't know where that horrible woman is! Ah've no clue! Ah would tell ya, but Ah don't know!" Rogue started off nicely enough, but ended in a shout.
The woman shook her head. "Change the story girl! No one's gonna believe you!" The woman growled back.
"Then believe this!" Rogue growled, suddenly flinging her arm out in a controlled way at the woman's face. The woman was ready for it though and she blocked with one fist and made in for Rogue's stomach. Rogue jumped back and held herself in a fighting position. She then kicked out with her leg. The woman caught it and twisted Rogue's foot. Rogue jumped up and allowed her body to be thrown with the twist so her foot wouldn't be injured; then she landed lightly with her uncaptured foot. The woman seemed slightly surprised by this and Rogue put all her weight onto the leg held by the woman and the woman staggered backward and had to let go of Rogue's foot in order to not fall.
Rogue regained her balanced easily enough and shoved her palm into the woman's chest. She stumbled further but grabbed Rogue's arm. She slammed one hand into Rogue's elbow, but it wasn't locked, so all it did was cause extreme pain, but it had not broken.
Rogue thrust her foot out and it met the woman's stomach. Her hold on Rogue's arm let off and Rogue went to punch the woman in the face. She ducked though and made an extremely powerful blow to Rogue's own stomach and Rogue staggered back in pain as she tried to regain her breath.
The woman didn't wait for Rogue to do this and her gloved fist met Rogue's cheekbone and Rogue fell hard onto her back wincing in pain. The woman attempted to perform an axel kick but her foot met pavement as Rogue rolled away and jumped to her feet. By the time the woman realized this though, Rogue had jumped up, her leg following and her heel just barely making enough contact and force to the woman's head to make her fall hard to the ground unconscious.
Rogue landed over the woman. She quickly staggered past her but stopped for a second to catch her breath. Her body was hurting and she was tired.
Suddenly she felt a sharp prick in the back of her neck. The ground began to sway and when Rogue tried to step forward she lost balance and fell to her knees. Her vision was becoming blurry and she was swaying back and forth. Blackness was edging in at the corner of her eyes and her eye lids were feeling like boulders. She fell forward and caught herself with her palms.
"You'll regret what you did to me!" Came a voice Rogue faintly recognized as Sandy's, but the blackness was consuming her vision now and she felt drowsy. With a final drop to her stomach as her arms became too weak to support her, she was hauled into unconsciousness.

I promise to try my best though! Thanx for the patience! Oh. and does anybody know what the next episode on Saturday on Kids WB is? I want to know if it's a 'need to see' episode. Thanx!
Terminatrix T-X: No no, don't we all just 'love' SandY? Lol
Brabara Ruiz: *smiles broadly* See. I think things through! ^_^ Sorry. it's two in the morning. That's basically when I wrote most of this chapter so if it seems weird. well. here's my excuse.
Cassie: GRRRRR! I hate you! You're so mean! I notice that I get a really long review. I get all happy, and it just repeats itself! You're no help! *sniffles* Your so mean!
Georgia Peach: Yes, that was Dark Horizon. I haven't seen Cruise Control though.
PomegranateQueen: wow. the best Scrogue you've read? That's actually quite surprising considering it isn't my favorite couple. I do love them together though! I'm glad I can do this so well! ^_^ Thanx. I'm honored!
