Chapter 22: Kidnapped
Rogue took a shower and got dressed. It was midnight, and again the wather was hot. Strange considering that there was a storm the day before. She walked out onto the balconey and shimmyed down the pipe, dropping the last two feet to the gravel, she then walked off and leaped over the wall. She walked down the quiet streets in the moonlight, coverd by the velvet star- sprinkled sky.
'How am ah gonna tell Logan that he's mah father. Ah wonder what he'd say? What if he's happy about it?........ What if he never talkes to me again?' She thought, then shrugged decideing that nothing was going to stop her from telling him the next time she sees him.
She streatched her arms out above her head, and heared a rattle of leaves behind her, though there was hardley a breeze in the air. She turned around, seeing nothing in the darkness, untill a balled blue man, with glowing eyes and fangs jumped out from the bushes and lunged at her.
~*~*~
Logan sat up hearing a loud screm from outside the mantion, he alertetd everyone els, and they found that Rogue wasn't in her room. They waited up untill sunrise, but Rogue didn't return.
~*~*~
Rogue struggled in the stong arms of the hissing creature that grebbed her. The creature smelled of the sewers, and his skin was slimey, and cold, almost like a toads. He hauled her into a van and locked the door, then Rogue felt that she was moveing. She furiousley kicked at the metal doors, getting nowhere.
She smelt oil and metal, rust in the darkness. She screamed out as lout as she could, makeing the van swerve before the creature took contole of it again. Rogue slammed her hands on the wire that seperated the back of the van from the driveing seat.
"Let me out!!!!!!!! Let out or im gonna kill ya, ya damn pice a shit!!!"
The van had drove a few miles before the driver finally had enough, and pulled the van to a screaching halt. The driver got out and unlocked the doors swinging them open, now the creature was dressed in the same black ninja suit as the guy that she killed at the brotherhood house.
Rogue tried to jump out, but the driver pulled out a needle and jumped on Rogue as she faught him, trying to pin her down. He punched her in the mouth whyl sitting on her stomack, then he slammed the needle into her neck, pressing on the plunger. She could feel the cold liquid filling her vaines and tasted the matalic goo that spilled into her mouth from the split in her lip, as things began to blur out and become extremeley bright before fadeing out compleatley, hearing the creature breathing deepley with a hiss.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rogue woke up feeling cold. She opend her eyes finding herself in a huge empty wherehouse with onley her in the center of it. Strapped to a chair woth metal clasps. The sunlight was shineing through, though the room itself was cold. A man came into the room wearing a ninja suit like the man that she beheaded, with another figure to the side, dressed the same, but it was a woman.
"Finally awake I see." He swiftley clasped her neck in his hand, snapping the silver chain that was around it. The man hit Rogue across her, already bruised, face, and then let go and kicked her chest, senting the chair flying backwards. The chain that held her, dropped onto the concreat and Rogue was soon looking into the glowing blue eyes of the creature that leered over her. She wanted to spit out something venomous but she was too grogy and her jaw wouldnt work. Then before she knew it, the same freezing liquis was corseing through her veins and the world was going black.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Logan paced the floor ouside of ceribro.
"Logan, come on man. Sit down, she'l be fine y'know. She can take care of herself." Alistor said.
"Not from you tho huh homme." Remy said sharpley as he puffed on his sigarette.
"Remy, Ive apologised, what more can I do?!"
"Get yer ass out of de country,... dats a start." Remy said.
"Well maybe I will, but Im gonna find Rogue first." Alistor snapped at him.
"HEY! Y'mind keepin it down, thers more important things goin on around hear!" Logan yelled at the two and continued paceing, when the doors to ceribro opend.
The proffeser roled out and looked at them all with dissapointmeant.
"I got a trace on her, somwhere near the center of New york, but the signal died out im afraid, weather or not she's still at that location, is a compleat mystory."
"Okay Chuck, where is it." Logan demanded to him.
The proffeser gave Logan the adress and he took the jet with Onix, Gambit, Nightcrawler and Cyclops.
They reached the wearhouse in record time, but Rogue was no-where in sight, makeing a sudden wash of panic sweep over everyone.
Logan stopped in the enterance of the wearhouse and sniffed the air, looking around, he caught a glimpse of Rogues silver locket lying on the floor in the middle of the spacious room, with a few drops of fresh blood right beside it. He picked it up and clutched it tight, he had a scent, and he was going to follow it , so he left, steeling someones moterbike, and radioing to everyone els, to follow him later.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rogue twitched around, conchiousness flooding back. She twisted her wrists, the cuffs were almost off, if she could just work at it for another minuet. 'Wha is this happenin ta me! What the hell have ah done thats so wrong ta get me kidnapped twice, betrayed, and used countless times, all along with almost bein' assasinated.....and where the hell is Mystique, ah havent seen her in ages.' She thought as her head began to clear and the restraints began to slip.
The door opend with a clank, the darkness lost in the white light. She squinted her eyes and saw the same two ninjas that had taken her from the wearhouse. She gave a huge tug on the cuffs and she was free. She jumped up and ran straight for the door, planning to use some of Cody's football moves on the duo in front. She smacked her elbow into the first mans face, then reciveing a blow to the stomach from other one.
She folded down, onto her knees, then she felt a boot across her face and it was lights out again.
~*~*~*~*~
Logan found himself in a house. It was half rotten and falling apart, but Rogue's scent was strong, she hadn't long been there. He smelt more blood and it startled him. What were they doing to her. He lost the scent at that house so he and the others returned to the mantion to try and use ceribro again.
~*~*~*~
Rogue woke up to a foul smell under he nose, and saw the blury image of someone holding smelling saults under her nose. She blinked back the film in her eyes and realised the pain in her jaw, that was three hits she'd taken in that same place and she could taste the bood.
"You should realy co-operate...... not that it will mater anyway." A womans voice said.
"Who are you." Rogue forced herself to say, through the pain of her split lip, as he eyes squinted dozily from the drugs that they had pumped into her after she was put out.
"We arnt anybody. We don't exist." The woman said, dropping the hint.
"Cut the crap!" Rogue winced as the cut on her lip split and blead again.
"We are contract killers. We were 3 but are now we are 2, thanks to you I assume." The woman spat venomousley.
"If ya talking about the dipshit who's head ah sliced and diced then yea." Rogue said as she forced a death glair from her throbbing expression.
The woman hissed at Rogue and punched her on the other side of her face.
"Bite me ya fuckin retard!" Rogue coghed out, spitting blood to the side.
"Well, when 'you' get there, say hello to my brother for me." She sneard as she stood up and started walking out.
"What do ya mean bah that? Get where?"
"To the other side ofcorse, weather it be heaven or hell." Rogue couldn't see the womans face but the glint in her eyes said she was smileing.
'-Shit!-' Rogue thought, 'There gonna kill me!'
The door closed again, and Rogue was left in the seeping darkness, whyl panic set in. How long did she have, this question made her desperate to escape, so she tugged furiousley at the ropes, tearing at her skin, feeling blood trickle down her fingers, and droplets falling from the tips, all the time trying to contact the proffeser with her mind.
*Proffeser!!!* She projected her thoughts, getting nothing for a few minuets but then a response.
*Rogue?* A startled proffeser's voice said.
*Yea, proffeser, there gonna kill me. Ah don't know wha, but they there contract killers..... which means someones hierd them ta kill me!* She said to him, finnaly tugging the ropes and getting free, then she went for the rope around her feet.
*Where are you Rogue?*
*Ah don't know...... but ahm guessing that we aint in new york any more...... they put me out before they take me anywhere.*
*Why didn't you get in touch with me before-and how are you contacting me now?*
*Cos ahve onley been away fore like, 3 minuets at a time!, and ah have no idea but im guessing that its the cold stuff that they keep injecting inta me ta knock me out.*
* Alright, give me a moment to connect to ceribro and Ill find you.* He said, then going silent.
The door swong open again, letting the mid-day light fill the room. Rogue was stood in a corner hearing a tut from the man in the doorway. He stepped into the room and walked over to her. She kicked out--her kick being blocked by the mans leg, then she went to hit with her right hand but instead hit with her left, takeing the man down. He pulled her legs from under her, then stood up, with a foot on her chest, pressing down hard.
"Give it up! You can't get away from us."
Rogue grabbed the mans ankle and twisted it around, dopping him to the ground, then she jumped up and started assaulting his side, trying desperatley to brake his ribs.
The man just egnored the pain, like he couldn't feel it, as he stood up and pushed her into a wall, smacking his knee, repeatedley into her stomack, winding her, he laghed as she gasped for breath, and then wraped his gloved hands around her neck, makeing her breathing impssible as he pressed his thombs into her wind pipe untill the oxygen had been cut to her brain, and her eyes roled back in her head. He droped her limp body to the floor and walked out to the other who were in the hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The proffeser got a lock on Rogue, and sen't the others out to the location, but again it was too late. It was like these people were perposley moveing from location to location to make the x-men follow them. Though that was not the case. They saw the blood that Rogue had spat out, but they knew she was still alive, so they continued following the trails that appeard cold when they got there.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Three days Rogue had beed thraveling around, three days of trying to escape, and three days of more pain. She could no longer reach the proffeser, and the waether was getting cold, and snowey.... where were they? Rogue sat up in the van, and adjusted the cuffs, they were digging into her torn skin and scrapeing off the skin that was trying desperatley to heal, makeing her bleed and itch.
Her back was hurting and her stomack was all brused and painfull, not to meantion the fact that she hadnt eaten or drank anything since she was taken. She kept trying to fight her way out but she realy was helpless. She was hungrey, and thirstey, her throught raw from screaming to get anyones atention. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rogue was dragged through the snow after the van stopped, and the doors swong open. She thrown to the floor with force. She looked around, the wind bowing furiousley at her messy hair as the snowflakes whurled around, she was on a clifftop. , . An extremeley high clifftop, the landscape compleatley white over and the brightness of the snow was blinding her, after being in the dark for 3 days. Alaska? She was in Alaska?
She sived with the cold as it ran down her spine. She looked at the two ninja looking people who stood over her, and then noticed another walking up towards them...........Mystique?
Rogue took a shower and got dressed. It was midnight, and again the wather was hot. Strange considering that there was a storm the day before. She walked out onto the balconey and shimmyed down the pipe, dropping the last two feet to the gravel, she then walked off and leaped over the wall.
