Avalanche and Shadowcat exchanged looks. They never saw Quicksilver act this way before, especially towards Rogue.

"This zis getting interesting." Nightcrawler whispered. "Let my sister go."

"Your sister?" Quicksilver asked confused as he looked at Rogue.

"Apparently Mystique adopted me when ah was four." She told him.

"We're leaving with Rogue." Avalanche said angrily.

"Sorry, you can leave but you ain't taking her with you." Quicksilver said holding Rogue closer to him.

Rogue could feel his heart beat racing with her body against his. She looked past the three X-Men and saw Pyro still over there. She saw some pain in his eyes. She looked a bit past him and noticed the others had arrived. "Let her go now." Cyclops ordered. He put his hand up to his visor ready to aim and fire at any chance he got.

"Afraid that's not going to happen any time soon mate." Pyro said chuckling.

"You don't have a choice here bub." Wolverine said letting his claws out and put them to Pyro's throat. "We have your teammate, you have ours. Fair exchange."

Shadowcat, Avalanche, and Nightcrawler moved backwards slowly towards their teammates. Quicksilver was showing no sign of letting Rogue go as Sabretooth, and Colossus showed up. "You best not be holding the cherie too tight." Gambit hissed to Quicksilver.

Quicksilver flashed his blue eyes angrily at the Cajun. "I'm not." He thought for a second and leaned a bit closer to Rogue. "I'm not holding you too tight am I?" He asked in a soft whisper as she shook her head slightly.

"I would suggest you letting Pyro go, Wolverine." Magneto said flying into the hallway over head and landed softly on the metal floor in front of his son.

"Not until they let Rogue go."

Mystique moved ahead. "Let my daughter go Eric." Her yellow eyes flashed with fury, she was ready to strike at any time."

"A traitor, how nice and a touching reunion. But none of you are going any where. You'd be dead before you got the chance to escape."

Some of the younger recruits gasped, unsure on if Magneto's threat was real or not, but in their training they had learn not to take his threats so lightly. To believe them until proven otherwise. "Don` ya dare touch `em!" Rogue said.

Quicksilver not wanting his father to hurt her quickly put his gloved hand over her mouth. "Now my dear child, I have intentions with you so you won't be harmed." Magneto told her.

"Don't touch her." Iceman said finding his voice, although he wasn't sure why he yelled it out.

"Ah'll make ya a deal." Rogue's muffled voice said under Pietro's hand.

"What was that?" He asked curiously motioning for his son to uncover her mouth as he did. "Repeat what you said Rogue."

"Ah said ah'll make ya a deal."

"what sort of deal?"

"Ya let `em go unharmed an` ah'll stay here."

"Rogue don't say that." Mystique gasped.

"You do know what your saying?" Rogue looked at her teammates who were shaking their heads no to her and mouthing stuff to her . She shut he eyes and nodded. "Very well."

"That isn't a deal." Wolverine growled.

"It is now." Sabretooth growled back.

"Now I assume you'll be letting Pyro go now. You are lucky to be leaving this place alive."

"Rogue you like can't…" Shadowcat pleaded.

Rogue didn't look up but sighed. "ah have no choice. Ah can` let ya`ll get hurt."
