Chapter 8: Fighting back

Anton ran into the lab and skided down next to Rogue. Vinessa strolled in after, looking at the smashed glass that surrounded Mystique. Anton grabbed Rogues shoulders, and lifted her gentley up, to her feet, as she faked looking wiped out.

"Are you ok? What happend?" He ast as Rogue leaned against a worktop.

"The x-men took the girl. They snook up on me, so ah didn't have time to fight back." Rogue said, looking over at Mysique. "Ah need ta lie down... saught her out will ya?" She said, refuring to Mystique who lay uncochous on the floor, then dissapeard in a puff of sulferous smoke. She reapeard in her bedroom, and was startled to find Magneto sitting on her bed.

"What are you doin in hear?" She ast, placeing her hands on her hips. Why did her dress feel so heavy?

"You havent been takeing your shots!" Magneto growled at her. "You don't understand the importance of takeing the shots do you?!"

"Yea! Ah do, it's so as you can keep mah real memories unda controle! So you can controle me!"

Magneto quickley stood up and held out his hand to Rogue. She felt her body moveing closed to him, and she tried to risist, onley to find herself being thrown across the room into a full length mirror that was on her wall. The mirror shatterd, leaving her bere shoulder scraped slightley and bleeding. Then she was thrown across the other side of the room, and held tight to the wall. Thats why the dress was so heavy, it was lined with metal. Her face fell into a glair as he stepped closer.

"You should have listend to me from the start Rogue. It would be so much easyer. If you just continue to take the seirum, your life will be simple and free from harm. If you resist and try to get your old life back in anyway. I will personally see to it that every one of your friends get killed, one by one. Now, do I need to have your memory erased again?!"

"You don't have the power to wipe out the x-men Magneto! Thay would get to you long before you could eyen try! And ah think that y'all are gonna be sorry fer what yer about ta do."

Rogue was suddenley dropped to the floor, a bunch of metal objects were sen't flying through the air, towards her, hitting her so hard that she was thrown through the closed wooden door, and slid across the hall, hitting the wall on the other side, as splinters of wood fell to the ground.

"You are in no posission to be makeing threats Rogue."

Rogue stood up as the cuts on her arms, shoulder and face heald. She smiled dangerousley at him. "Y'all have no idea what yave created have ya!" She flung her arms out, and Magneto flew back, makeing a dent in the wall, then was thrown to the end of the hall, breaking tome tables along the way.

Magneto lay on the floor, obviousley weakend by the attac, so Rogue sat on his chest and put her hands around his neck but didn't squeeze. She looked down and smiled at him, then pulled her right hand back and into a fist, then swong it at Magnetoes face, knocking his head to the side as a trail of blood ran from his lip. Rogue didn't notice him pull a seringe from his pocket untill he had stabbed it into her neck. She fell forward instantley, limp across Magnetos chest. He pushed her off of him, then ran his thumb over the cut on his lip and chuckled.

Scott put all his force behing his fist as it collided with Alistors jaw, senting the bronze skinned man slideing across the waxed foor. Alistor stumbled to his feel, rubbing his jaw as he opend and closed it to check it still worked.

"You fuckin'----ugh! I don't understand you!" Alistor said, with a frown as he glaired at Scott.

"She is 6 years old you stupid fuck! Don't you see how much she could have been hurt! It was Magneto's mantion! Jesus crist! How compleatley retarded are you?!?!?!" Scott yelled as he spontainiousley flong his arms in the air eyery now and then.

"Shut up you pole jacky!" Kate shouted as she stepped infront of alistor, with her tiney hands scrunched into fists.

Alistor stiffled a lagh. "Jockey sweetie...pole jockey." He corrected, then burst out laghing, seeing Scotts face pale.

"Proffeser!!! Onix is teaching the kids obsenities!!" Scott whined as he stormed off towards the office.

"Way ta get me in trouble katie-sprite." Alistor said as he chuckled and crossed his arms looking at her with both eyebrows raised. Kate shrugged.

"He pisses me off." She stated plainley. Alistors jaw dropped.

"Are you channeling into my emotions by any chance Kate?"

"No." She said, turning to as Alistor could see her eyes.

"No bad language at the instituit young lady!" He said, trying to scowld, but it came out as a lagh.

Kate smiled at him weekley and then started chewing on her lip. "Sowy. I forgot where I was." She said before walking off towards the stairs.

Alistor was about to walk towards the kitchen, when Teren stood at the top of the stairs and shouted him. He turned and waited for her to reach him before they walked into the kitchen, which, for some obsiene reason, was empty.

"Thanx....y'know, for the rescue...."

"Thank kate. She told me where to find you....amoungst other things...." He said, remembering the kids part. He chuckled and took a stainge shaped peice of bread from a bakeing tray on the counter and tapped it on the side. It was rock hard. "Kittys been cooking again I see." He set the bread down. "I hpe she hires a cook when she had kids."

"Alistor?" Teren said.

Alistor terned to fece her and smiled. "'Sup?" She leaned up on her tip- toes and kissed his cheek. "Oh." He said, plainley.

"Thank you." She said before leaveing him speachless and alone in the room. then around a minuet or so after she left, he managed to wisper out a: your welcome. Before turning to the stove, he was helping Ororo cook tonight. She was the onley one of the x-men that didn't blame him for loseing Rogue. But none of that matterd now, because everything was getting back to normal.
