The flashbacks are between the –'s. You'll notice the difference. ;)
They had tied something around his eyes so he could not open them. Scott growled. He didn't know where he was or anything. The last thing he remembered.. He shook his head.
-
"Where are they coming from?" Scott yelled furiously as more Sentinels came. They had just destroyed the Sentinels and more where on their way, stomping through the woods making the ground shake.
"Half the institute has already been destroyed.." Kurt muttered as Kitty helped him to his feet. He stared at the thick smoke rising up from the mansion.
"Rogue is in 'dere.. lookin' fo' Jubilee.." Gambit said clutching his shoulder. Blood dripped down from her shoulder.
"What!?" Scott yelled, getting even angrier. He was so confused. What the hell was happening? His thoughts were interrupted by Jean's screams.
"Scott – Look out!"
Before he knew it, everything went from its usual red color from his glasses to black.
-
"Let go of me!" Jean yelled as two men carried her from the room she had woken up in. Before she knew it she was thrown in a room with Scott. He laid in the corner of the room on his back.
Tears filled her eyes.
-
"Scott – Look out!" Jean screamed as a beam came towards Scott. But it was too late. He was thrown back and landed hard on the ground. Blood slowly ran from a cut on his forehead. "Scott!" With her mind off the Sentinels, she ran towards Scott but before she could get near him, a force knocked into her so hard she flew in the other direction. Jean was pretty sure she heard a rib crack as she landed on the ground. Her body hurt so much she dared not to move. She just laid there until she drifted off into unconsciousness..
-
"Jean?" He sat up and reached out. "Is it you? Is it really you?"
She threw her arms around him and hugged him hard. She simply ignored the dull pain in her chest and ribs.

Kitty sat against the cold metal wall with her knees brought up to her chest. She inhaled then exhaled deeply and hugged her knees tightly. She had tried phasing through the walls and the floor but it wouldn't work. She had even tried running towards the wall in hopes of phasing right through it but she ended up knocking herself out.
Kurt had been placed in the same room as her but he was knocked out cold.
Still.
-
Kitty felt fear enter her mind as she saw both Scott and Jean get knocked out. The other X-Men continued to fight off the Sentinels. Bobby created a ribbon of ice for them to slip on, and Amara would get all fired up and burn through the metal.. Four Jamies stood behind a tree shivering. Gambit, Wolverine and Ororo were fighting off a Sentinel that had just arrived.
She felt stupid standing there doing nothing until she got an idea. "Kurt! Teleport me up onto the Sentinels shoulder. I'll phase through his head. It might screw up his programming and knock him out."
"Alright.." Kurt agreed hesitantly. He grabbed her arm and they teleported onto its shoulder. It noticed immediately and jerked its hips, shoulders and head. Kitty lost balance and fell off. She phased through the ground instead of hitting it. Kurt yelled for her, and he too lost his balance and fell off. Before he could teleport, the machine swatted him hard. He landed in a tree then fell down from it.
"Kurt.." Kitty yelled as she phased up from the ground. Her friend laid a few feet away unconscious. "That's it Mr. Sentinel." She screamed angry as she phased the rest of herself out of the ground.
Another Sentinel a few miles away launched a rocket. It blasted into the ground near Kitty. All she saw was white then black.
-
Kurt suddenly
stirred, breaking Kitty's concentration. She was quickly by his side in hopes
of him waking up and bamf'ing them out of.. wherever they were.
"Vhut the.." He blinked then sat up. "Ow! I hurt." He winced in pain. "Vhere are we?" He noticed her tear stained cheeks. "You okay?"
"You don't, like, remember?" She asked sadly. "The institute was attacked.. and someone captured us."
"I remember very little." He admitted, rubbing his blue fuzzy head.
"I just hope someone rescues us.."
Kurt tried to smile. He wasn't too sure.

Amara sat on a hard white bed. Her head
was throbbing and she felt sick. She wrapped her arms around herself and tried
not to cry.
She failed at that.
-
Bodies of her fellow teammates laid unconscious around her. Amara bit her lower lip and continued to help Bobby destroy the Sentinel. But it wasn't long until she left exhausted. She was so tired that she soon wasn't charged up. She could barely throw a fireball now.
"Amara!" Bobby yelled as the Sentinel stomped down. He then placed his hands on the foot of the robot and iced it up. "Hurry. Run."
"What?" She asked, blinking. She felt so dizzy..
"RUN!"
That was the last thing she heard him say before she passed out.
-
"Why did I pass out?" She asked, sniffing. "I shouldn't have tried to use up so much power at once." After a few minutes she stopped and rubbed her eyes. "I hope you're okay Bobby."
She then hopped off the bed and walked towards the door. In the middle of the door was a glass window enabling her to see what was inside the other room. She gasped when she saw Bobby laying on a bed in the next room. She rushed into the room.
"Amara." He looked surprised to see her. His hair was ruffled, his arms were bruised and he looked tired. She wrapped her arms around his exposed chest and hugged him tightly.
"I was so worried about you, Bobby." She held back the tears. He patted her back as he hugged her back. He seemed surprised by her comment.
"You were?" She nodded as she broke the embrace. "I was, erm, really worried about you too."
Jamie, who was sitting across the room, rolled his eyes. "When are we getting out of here?"

Ray leaned against the wall. "They captured us and brought us back here. They even help aid our wounds." He glanced down at his bandage hand.
Roberto sighed. "They're the ones who caused the damage. They destroyed the institute. We don't even know where we are.. or where the others are."
Ray grinned. "We know they're somewhere around this joint. We could always just.. you know.."
"Bust out of here then get caught?" Roberto asked, raising a brow.
"It's worth a shot!"
***
Jubilee sat in a plastic holding room shaking. All of this made no sense to her. She felt like a killer.
-
"Gambit, Look out!" Jubilee yelled as a piece of metal came flying at the Cajun. He tried to dodge it but it sliced his shoulder. He turned and looked at her surprised. More surprised then his bloody shoulder.
"Rogue is lookin' fo' y' in 'de institute."
They both stared at the half brought down mansion.
-
Rogue had been looking for her in the mansion when she wasn't even in the mansion. The look on Gambit's face was still floating around in her mind. It took her until now to realize that he was really in love with Rogue. And right now Jubilee knew she could never forgive herself if Rogue didn't survive.
-
Mystique had been there. She watched as the Sentinels came. She knew their plan. They would use the X-Men to experiment on how to exterminate mutants. She feared for the life of her children.
Kurt and Rogue.
How they loathed her.. She shook her head. Mystique still loved them. Since the security around the institute was already going off, she let herself in.
"Some mutants aren't here." A young woman with brown hair pulled up into a bun walked past her. She quickly transformed into a cat.
"There's enough here." A man said, grinning. "Pretty soon, The mutant race will be extinct."
Mystique would not let that happen to Kurt nor Rogue.
***
Gambit walked down the hallway, looking in each room for Rogue. He made sure to be quiet so no one would hear him. After seeing a woman walk out of a room, then close and lock the door, he knew someone was in there. He waited until she disappeared down the hall then tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge. He studied the lock then grinned. Gambit reached into his pocket and took out a card, charged it, and stuck a corner into the locker. He stepped back. It made a tiny explosion, and then he walked into the room.
It was a small room. He could make out two empty beds but the third one had someone in it. Even in the dark he could make out Rogue's white bangs. He closed the door then flipped the light switch. She didn't even stir in her sleep. He walked over to her side.
"Chére?" He then noticed a spot of blood on her arm. "'Dey drugged her."
