Heheh god I'm so evil

Back in the warehouse there were three people given the hard job of holding
Logan back as they watched Rune being taken out, with a gun to her head.
Once the door closed behind them and they heard several cars drive away,
then another noise made them look up. Sliding down on ropes over a hundred
Black and Green fighters appeared, guns at the ready. Spotting Logan one
of them grinned cruelly.
"It's the wolf man," he said
"Remember what his lordship said" another one spoke up
"The wolf man's head"
"He will reward"
"He who takes it" the sky crackled with electricity as Storm brought a
storm down upon them. Slowly Logan's blades slid out of his hands.
"If you want me come and get me," Logan snarled
"Wolf man is mine," one of them shouted as he jumped onto Logan. Kicking
him out of the way Logan slashed his chest
"The name's Wolverine" then all hell broke loose. The sky darkened and rain
began to pelt down, the darkness only to be penetrated every so often by
Scott optical laser. Looking around Logan saw only a mass of squirming
bodies trying to gain supremacy. There was no way out. He punched someone
as they came out of the darkness and kicked another before he felt himself
being lifted out of the crowd. Glancing up he saw Storm. Once they landed
Storm left go of Logan
"Go find her we can sort out the problem here" Logan nodded and watched
Storm fly off and back into the warehouse. He turned to look at the road;
he could smell oil, car oil mixed with Rune's scent. They had put her in a
car with a slight oil leak. That would help. Running along the road with he
sniffed his way several kilometres away from the warehouse. The oil smell
stopped and Logan found a man unconscious and a burning car down the road a
bit. But Rune's scent had not stopped there. Sniffing Logan came to a high
wooden fence; so not bothering with niceties he slashed his way through the
fence. Behind the fence was something you would expect from a war movie.
Tumbling bricks walls were all that surrounded the area. Inside there were
two piles of bricks. In between the bricks was Chris Mant. He wasn't
moving.
"Logan?" a voice called out, small and frightened.
"Rune" he called back while looking around. Walking around the bricks he
found Rune, curled up with her knees to her chest.
"Are you alright?" Logan asked softly as he crouched down beside her. Rune
gave a small nod. He stroked her tear stained cheek
"Come on let's get out here," he said pulling her up. Holding onto his hand
Rune let herself be lead through the debris of brick and wood.
"What happened?" Logan asked once they were on the road's edge. Rune said
nothing just stared at the road. This empty Rune made Logan feel chilled to
the bone, what had happened to make her like this? As far as he could tell
she wasn't harmed in any way, other than her silence she was as she had
been this morning. Her cut on her cheek had turned to a slight scar now it
was red and throbbing.
"What happened after I was taken?" She finally asked startling Logan.
"Some of your old buddies dropped in" Logan replied as Rune nodded "What's
wrong Rune?" a tear escaped her eye and angrily Rune wiped it away
"Nothing" not convinced in the slightest but not wanting to push any
further Logan nodded.
"Come on we better get back to the warehouse see if they need any help"
Logan took Rune's arm
"I don't think we need to Logan" his eyes followed her gaze. Distant in the
sky was the Blackbird. As it landed Logan felt Rune's hand clutching his
arm. Placing an arm around her shoulders it seemed to relax her but the
thought of Rune needing that kind of comfort was heavy in his mind. What
had happened?! The ramp lowered and Logan could see the Professor, Jean,
Scott and Storm coming down. Jean smiled as she saw Rune but then it
quickly turned to a slight frown as she noticed Rune.
"Come on time to go back to the school" Logan said to Rune. She nodded and
let herself be lead to the Blackbird. She stopped in front of Jean
"Where are Minnie and Brian?"
"Their fine apart from some cuts and bruises"
"How many where injured?"
"About twenty on their side eleven of ours, nothing life threatening"
"Once they're all sorted out tell them Chris isn't all he seems and to come
here if they want to know what he really is"
"What do you mean?" The professor asked, rolling towards Rune.
"He's not totally human" Rune replied, her face bland of expression
"Not totally?" Scott asked in confusion
"I killed Chris by strangulation but he was wired to a remote that was
connected to the inside of his chest" Rune mumbled. Logan looked at the
professor and he seemed to understand his warning
"It is best if we continue this discussion else where" the professor spoke
up and wheeled himself back into the Black Bird. As Logan lead her up the
ramp Rune glanced back once. She would be back in Australia sooner or later
she knew, there were some things to sort out.
