Chapter Seven: Arrival At The Lab

Disclaimer: I own nothing besides the storyline!

Notes: This is a very important chapter if you want to understand what is happening in my ficlet.

Rogue finally awoke as Sabertooth was carrying her limp body into a very dark room.
"Where Am I?" She groaned and felt the back of her head, which was swollen from the blow that had knocked her out. Sabertooth said nothing and growled. Rogue looked around her, but couldn't see much because her vision wasn't strait. But from what she could make-out, it appeared to be some sort of a large, sophisticated laboratory.
Sabertooth set her down hardly on a large metal slate. This was beginning to feel far too much like Wolverine's memory of his experimentations. Rogue's breath increased and she looked franticly around for a door or window to escape, but there room was sealed up completely besides one door that led in and out, and Sabertooth had pulled up a chair and was guarding it.
Rogue was frightened by his black stare, and he was glaring right at her with an evil smirk on his face.
"What are ya goin' ta do ta me?" She asked and stepped slowly off of the table.
"I can't tell you that. But you'll find out when Magneto is ready to get started." He chuckled evilly.
"Start what?" Rogue clenched her fists and demanded. She was very angry with him. If he was going to do something to her, why didn't he have the balls to tell her?! Rogue tried really hard to control her anger, but she couldn't hold it in very long. Only seconds passed by until she completely lost it.
"What tha fuck d'ya want from me ya furry-ass bastard?!" She screamed at Sabertooth. He just sat there as if he didn't hear her at all, and smiled ever so horribly. She was about to attack him head on, but the door Sabertooth guarding flew open and Magneto walked inside accompanied by several men in blue jumpsuits.
"Whateva ya wanna do Magneta, just get it over with!" She yelled at him. He walked slowly towards her with the same smile Sabertooth had had on his face.
"Tie her down!" He hollered loudly. The men in the blue suits advanced immediately before Rogue could do a thing about it, and the tied her down to the silver table. She screamed and tried to kick them away but there were to many of them. This was almost an exact reanactment of Wolverine's memory!
Once they had her tied down completely, they moved out of the way and let Magneto through.
"Ok my dear. Here is the plan. I am very aware of Xavier's theories about your power. You are getting very much stronger, and I want you on my side." He told her. Rogue spat in his face,
"Fuck ya!" She screamed at him. He wiped his face and snarled at her fiercely.
"Fine then! If you won't cooperate this way, I'll get everything I need to know out of you a different way! Hand me the poker!" Magneto ordered the man next to him. The man nodded and ran over to an oven like place, where he pulled out a hot poker. After he grabbed it out, he ran over and handed it to Magneto.
Magneto held it in his hand like a Harpoon. The end glowed red and there was smoke coming off of it.
"Now." He said.
"Lets try it my way. Tell me all the secrets of the X-men. Tell me how to hack into their base! Tell me how to beat them!" He hissed. Rogue could already feel the heat coming off of the weapon, but choose not to tell him a thing. Her friends were way to important to her to her just to betray them like that.
"Ah'm not gonna tell you shit." She told him confidently as sweat rolled down her face. With that Magneto gently pushed the burning metal through Rogue's shirt. She cried out in pain, but that was just the beginning. Magneto, very slowly, pushed the metal through the flesh on Rogue's shoulder and twisted it around. Tears ran down her face and Rogue yowled loudly in pain. Magneto finally pulled it out.
"Are you going to tell me now?" He asked her firmly. Rogue shook her head and mumbled a few swearwords. Magneto frowned and pushed it into her wound again, this time, he shoved it harder and further down.
"TELL ME!!" He screamed at her. Rogue did nothing but scream in pain and cry. Magneto pulled it out in rage.
"She'll be harder to break than I thought." He said huskily. "Untie her and attach her to the x-gene depressor. It'll be easier to get to her once we can touch her skin." He told his men. Rogue heard the words, but was in too much pain to respond to them. Her shoulder burned and bled heavily and warm tears ran down her face. The men in blue jumpsuits untied Rogue like they were asked, and carried her out of the room. Rogue tilted her head up to look where they were taking her. She saw a large standing up platform, but it looked more like a torcher chamber than anything. Leg and handcuffs hung from the ceiling and floor, and there seemed to be another one on the table new to it that belonged in another spot on her body. Without warning, rogue took off her glove and reached up to touch the man's who was carrying her face. He jolted quickly, and dropped her falling stunned to the ground, causing him to drop her. Rogue took this opportunity and sprinted towards the door. But they men were surprisingly fast, and they caught her with grace. She kicked and screamed, but it didn't do much because they were holding all her arms and legs tight until they reached their destination. The men set Rogue on her feet and quickly attached her arms to the hanging handcuffs. Rogue lifted both of her legs and kicked two of them back down the small stairway they had went up. The others grabbed her legs and attached them to her feet-cuffs. She struggled against the metal on her arms and legs, mad with anger. But they didn't move a bit from their spot, but they made small cuts on Rogue's wrists and ankles. That's when Magneto told the others to move out of the way. He stepped foreword and looked Rogue in the eyes. He still had the evil smile on his face. "Looks like you might be here for a while. So get used to it!" Magneto hissed at her. Rogue growled at him and glared at him with flames of hatred in her eyes. Magneto held out his hand, and one of the men placed something in it. With a word, Magneto slapped the object around Rogue's neck. It was a large, heavy metal ring with many weird looking electrical wires on it. "What the hell is this?" Rogue's asked. Magneto turned around and walked down off of the platform and told his men to get off of it too. "It's a collar that can suppress your x-gene. Rendering you powers gone whilst you wear it." He finally answered her and sat down at a table with a control panel on the desk. "Of corse." He started. "It takes about three days with it on full power to finally kick in. But I think you have plenty of time." He told her and then pressed a red button. At first, all Rogue could feel was a slight sting, but then the sting went down her spinal chord like a flash of lightning. It spread through every inch of her body and burned her. Rogue wailed loudly in pain and surprise and jerked around spastically. Magneto got up out of his chair and yelled up at Rogue, "I'll be back in three days to see how you're doing!" And then he walked out. Leaving Rogue shocked with pain, and drifting in and out of sleep.
