Hey! Thank you for all the reviews! I feel so loved! *Grins* Thank you sooo
much for the info on Sabertooth. Grrr. I wanna see x-2 sooo bad! I'm sorry
about the last chapter being so short but I promise that we're getting to
the good stuff! By the way I own none of the things that you recognize.
Rogue: not mine. Magneto: not mine. Kitty: not mine. Bobby: not mine
*sigh*. Okaaay, I am so sorry if this comes out as a big text blob, but
bear with me, my computer is messed up and I am slowly finding ways to fix
the problem. I also cannot italicize so whenever you see *'s around a
word/words then it is meant to be italicized. R&R!
Chapter 2: Prisoners of War
Rogue touched a slim finger to her forehead, running it across a small cut, and a few burns, but nothing worse. Her deep brown eyes started to flicker open, but there seemed to be a bright strobelight attached to the ceiling. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the light, and as she opened them to assess the situation she stifled a scream. She seemed to be in a glass cube suspended by a thin chain over a fathoms-deep pit. She glanced over her shoulder to see four small, make-shift cots, a jugs of water, and Bobby sitting against a wall. Kitty and Jubilee were still lying unconscious on the cots. When he noticed that she was awake, he crawled across the floor to sit next to her. At first she reached out towards a large gash over his right ear, then she quickly pulled her hand back. What was she thinking? One tiny touch could do more damage in a minute than three hours of combat simulations. Bobby noticed this and blushed. He moved his hand slowly past the wound and it was instantly covered with a thin layer of frost, "Hey, Its just as good as an icepack. I should probably do the same for you and the others...", he said and gestured towards a cut on the side of her face that she hadn't noticed before. Instantly she touched the spot only to pull her hand back from the freezing patch of blood. "Do you have any idea why... What could he want with us? We're still in high school! I mean there are more powerful mutants..." he whispered cautiously. For all they knew the glass room could be bugged. He glanced over quickly at Marie for a response. She was staring down at the bottomless pit, then she snorted and raised her warm brown eyes to meet his icy blue ones. "Remember the first year I came to the school? It didn't matter that I barely knew about my power. That didn't stop him from nearly making me kill everyone in New York City. He could have us here for anything, ransom, powers, experimentation... He won't care if we're killed..." she whispered. Automatically she reached up to push her streak of shocking white hair behind her ear. Bobby's eyes widened. Could Magneto really have captured them just so he could use Rogue for his machine again? Maybe this time for something or someone else... Would he really kill them? A nasty little voice in the back of his head answered, Yes. Yes he would if their deaths benefited him or the mutant cause... But he wouldn't let that happen. He wouldn't let them kill Marie...
"Uuuhhhhh... W-what did you do that for Storm? " Scott muttered groggily. Small scenes of what had happened flashed before his mind, but he couldn't quite piece it together. Suddenly he sat straight up and shouted, "Proffessor! We have to stop Sabertooth! He's back with Magneto and their head-" The professor held up a hand to silence him then began talking calmly, "I assure you that Sabertooth is subdued, actually a few of the younger students were able to stun him..." he stopped for a moment, glimmers of pride in his eyes, then he continued, "However, Rogue, Bobby, Kitty and Jubilee have been taken hostage by Magneto. You have been unconscious for the last five hours Mr. Summers. Our cameras show that Storm was being impersonated by Mystique." Scott just stared at him for a few seconds, as if he thought that he might still be dreaming. Slowly he asked, "How are we going to find them? Magneto has found a way to reflect your psychic abilities so we can't do that." The professor sighed. "We were lucky enough to capture Sabertooth. I plan on reading his mind for any information. After that we will have to get past Eric and the brotherhood if we hope to rescue them. It's our only plan so we have to hope that it works."
Logan sniffed the air for a trace of the intruders. All of them except for Sabertooth had managed to steal a jet and fly away to safety, but there was always the hope that they had left something behind. He sighed. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing here to even hint that they had come... Suddenly he noticed a long, black burn on the wall near the library. This must've been where they found Pyro... Hoping that they hadn't been hurt by that slimeball he sniffed around the perimeter. *Squish* He lifted up his foot in surprise to find that the carpet was soaked... Icey had been here too. He remembered Rogue's boyfriend with a pang of jealousy. Rogue was like a daughter to him, He was like an overprotective dad or a big brother. In frustration he slashed the wall with his claws, annoyed by the pointlessness of his search. Suddenly he noticed a shimmering powder by the doorway...
Hehe. I feel kinda evil for making two cliffies in a row, but hey that means I get to write the answers when I update, which will happen quickly if I get more reviews *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* Also I am sorry to say that my mom Is being evil and won't let me be on the computer for more than 30 minutes a day once high school starts, which is two weeks from now *cries*. Still not sure If I should continue this so please review and tell me! Press the little blue button!
