Chapter 3: Escape plans, dust, and photos.
Magneto stared intently at a faded photograph. Time had done its job, the figures were yellowed and the edges had been torn, but it still showed the picture. There was a small boy and a tall girl standing in front of a woman with long, dark hair, and a tall man with light blue eyes. Eyes that were exactly the same as the ones staring at the photograph with the exception that they were rimmed with tears. Magneto gently put the picture back in the steel box along with other memories that had been painstakingly preserved. He drummed his fingers along the smooth iron desk and contemplated what he would do with his captives. They wouldn't escape, he was positive of that, but Xavier would assuredly try to rescue them. Xavier. How could his old friend have become such a meddling old fool? If the X-men succeeded then his plan would never work. He needed to know, he had to know, what had happened to her... That's why he needed the girl. She alone could help him find the answers he had been searching for, the rest would be useless. Well not completely useless. They would be offered to join him and his cause. If they refused they would have to learn the hard way that he was serious... Suddenly he heard the titanium doors gently slide open and he noticed Mystique coming through the doorway, her yellow eyes softly glowing. In a voice barely above a whisper she said, "They are awake now... We are ready to initiate the plan."
Rogue ran her fingers through her long mahogany hair and rested on the streak of white, playing for a second with it and then remembering that it was a sign. A sign that she had escaped death once, but that she might not be as lucky the next time... She told herself to get a grip, to focus on something else when she heard a loud "pop!". She quickly turned towards the source of the noise and rested her eyes on Bobby, who had opened up a bag of chips and was now passing them around to Kitty and Jubilee, who had just woken up. Bobby motioned for them to come closer and she scooted up towards the wall. He traced his finger along the floor and raised up his palm, creating a perfect miniature model of their prison, with small ice dots that Rogue assumed were meant to represent them. He whispered in a voice so low that they could barely hear him, "Okay, I have a plan, but it will take time and careful planning. We can't use it too soon or do anything rash if we want to get out alive. First we put the cots on top of each other, piling them so that we can reach the ceiling. Then Kitty, you can ghost us through the ceiling so that we will be on top of the umm. box thingy. Next we climb up the chain one at a time and I will form a rope of ice down from the top too the solid ground on the sides of the pit. All we have to do from there is slide down and then Kitty can bring us through the walls and we," He gestured towards Jubilee and himself, "Can use our powers if we have to attack anyone, Rogue, you try to touch them if you have an open shot without putting yourself in danger.Okay?" He looked expectantly at them and they all nodded silently and Jubilee unleashed a small stream of plasma to melt the ice. Rogue headed towards the small box in the corner filled with a small amount of food and water when suddenly a clinging noise was echoing off the sides of the pit. Rogue's eyes widened as she saw a tall figure walking towards them.
Logan cautiously walked over to the glistening spot of carpet and bent closer to sniff it. Yes...It was definitely Mystique, well her footprint at least. He winced as he drew out his admantium claws and sliced off the top layer of the carpet. He carefully walked to a statue outside of the professor's office and when no one was looking he slid a small bronze card past a slit in the statue's right shoulder. He tried hard not to blink as the statues dark, marble eyes glowed red and quickly scanned his irises for access. Finnally the ground shuddered and the statue swiveled around to reveal a small elevator, only large enough for one person at a time. The door closed with a hiss of escaping air and glided down, until finally he had reached a circular room deep underground. He heard the swivel of the metallic wheelchair and a kind voice appeared inside his head:"Logan, wonderful to see you. I suppose we should test that sample you found for identification..."
Rogue felt Bobby's arm brush up against her as he stood up behind her. The dark figure was moving towards them steadily now, quickening the pace when it was about thirty feet from the cube. She shivered as she felt the room grow cold, but her attention was fixated on the figure that was now five feet in front of them. His face was hidden by a long, dark shadow, and he was standing on a makeshift bridge, obviously some type of unfolding metal contraption. However her attention wavered when the figure stepped out of the shadow and into the dim light, revealing his face. Her eyes widened and she heard Bobby whisper in a dazed sort of voice the exact same thing that they were all thinking, "No...It can't be..."
Hey! I am sooo sorry that that one was short but I'm really busy with other activities now that summer break is over and I promise I'll update soon! Plus I have decided that I'm going to post this story at about half a chapter at a time so that I'll have pieces of it for you to read a lot sooner than I would if I just posted at a long chapter at a time. Comprende? I promise that were getting to the plot! WHAT is that STUFF that Logan found? WHO is coming towards Rogue, Bobby, etc? WILL Bobby's plan WORK? WHAT is Magneto searching for and WHY does he need Rogue? ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO BE ANSWERED SOON!!!! *Please press the little blue button. Well, actually its not really blue...I guess periwinkle would be a better word for it, but anyways please press it and review! Plus for reading the fine print you get a preview! Preview: Bobby felt a shiver go up his spine as he stared into those eyes. The same eyes that had haunted him in his dreams for months now... He tried to calm down as he noticed Marie shivering in front of him but this was too much... *end of preview* Okay! Review! Plus read the fine print on Subway and insurance commercials. Hehe. It can be kinda funny sometimes...
