Chapter 9: Old Friends
:
' I'm gonna kill um. Next time I see um, I'm gonna kill um.' Logan thought with a growl as he continued to fight off Trask's men. He was doing fairly well, against them, but was slowly losing his advantage.
Slowly they began to overpower Logan, it just seemed like they had totally forgotten that Sabertooth and Pyro had escaped from what he could tell. For all he knew they were long gone, or maybe by luck, they had gone after them and caught them and threw them behind bars. That's what Logan wished.

Logan froze as he felt the tip of a gun on the side of his head, some how he had let his guard done and wasn't paying attention. Stupid, he told himself. He slowly raised his hands up in surrender, planning to attack in a spilt second; well he was about to do all this when two hands slapped a pair of pretty strong cuffs on him. Logan growled at this and searched for a way out. Slowly tugging on the cuffs to try and loosen them as he moved his head a got a better idea of his predicament. How did he manage to slip up this bad, he thought over and over again.
Trask's men smiled in triumph at this, more men then made their way up to the roof, and most where reloading guns and began to simultaneously aim them at Logan. The sounds of the guns loading up rang in Logan's sensitive ears. 'Shit. You really screwed up. You know that?' A small voice inside him echoed. As a small steady fog slowly rolled in, gradually growing thicker, some of the men noticed others that were more focused on Logan didn't realize the fog was there until they could no longer see him.
Some of the men surrounding Logan faltered and looked around asking questions like " Where did the fog come from?" or comments like, " I can't see." But the two with their guns pressed to Logan's head didn't falter and look around at the strange phenomenon going on around them.
Almost instantly after the fog had fully rolled in spouts of blazing red flames surrounded them on the roof, from what it looked like the fire wasn't to hurt anyone just get dangerously close to them. Causing most of the men to freak out and attempt to leave by jumping off the roof. The flames slowly depleted, and just when you thought they were gone another round started up aimed at Logan and the two other men holding him at bay. Not being one to like being barbequed Logan ducked out of the way, just as his two guards did the same.
" Ya almost took of my head Fire Fly." Logan yelled out too whom he thought was John, and for a brief moment he thought they had come back for him. Logan couldn't really believe what the hell he was thinking, but he couldn't think of anyone else that could control fire. Only to be answered by a hearty laugh as more fire shot out scaring the remained of Trask's men off the roof, and leaving a few unconscious.
" Fire Fly huh? Dat my new nickname? Must say I liked Sparks or Sparky better Logan." A familiar voice called out. As a man in black with a fiery glow emitting from the shadows.
" Max?"
" The one and only." The cool familiar Max Cooper commented. The once lean 18-year-old man was now about the age of 26. He was more muscular and that showed through with his tight fitting black suit that loosened in the legs finished with a pair of red boots to match his semi long red flowing hair, tied back into a small pony-tail at the back of his head. As he walked into the light, Logan could clearly see the boys red eyes, and what appeared to be a ruff looking goatee, as the fire reflected off his dark skin.
" Never thought I would be glad to see you Sparks." Logan said gruffly as he slowly stood up, trying to figure out a way to break the cuffs, his hands were to close together to use his claws to open them.
"Didn't think I would be saving your butt again." Embers said as he walked over and put a glowing hand on the cuffs as they slowly melted a bit, as Logan broke them the rest of the way. As the fog slowly began to clear away.
" Don't think you'll get the chance ever again. I could have handled it." Logan said in a joking manor.
" Ya and Rogue will sprout wings and fly. Speaking of which, where is Roguey?" Embers asked; it was as if realization had just dawned on Logan, that Rogue wasn't there.
" Rogue, oh shit she was with this guy, and he took her." Logan growled out shooting out his claws.
" Hey Roguey met a guy? That's new." Max commented Logan growled at his lack of concern for the situation. Just then the fog finally completely cleared and the wind blew a little stronger as tall elegant woman with flowing white hair landed gracefully down on the roof with a long cape trailing behind her.
" Logan, good to see you again, though I would of hoped it would have been on different circumstances." Strom said as she walked up to him, but stopped when she saw his claws were out. " What's wrong?"
" Roguey's out wit' a fella, and he's steamed cause his little girl is all grown up." Embers joked then felt himself get lifted off his feet as Logan grabbed him but the neck of his shirt.
" Why are you being so careless, Rogue's been kidnapped." Logan growled.
" No, we have a person following her, so don't worry about it. If anything happens to her, then she'll contact us." Embers said putting his hands up in surrender. All the while Ororo watched this and listened to what Scott was saying over the comlink. There were two teams; Storm and Embers were to go ahead because they already knew Logan and Rogue, while the rest of the team, which consisted of Scott, Jean, her nephew Evan, and Amara would meet up with them later. Kurt and Kitty were on private missions. Kurt was to keep an eye out on Magneto's lackeys and Kitty was to follow Rogue once they reached the city. Who knew they would all meet up like this? Strom's eyes widened as she listened to what Scott was telling her that Kitty still couldn't find Rogue.
" Um boys we have a problem." Strom said calmly. Both of them stopped bickering and looked over to her. " Cyclopes says that Shadowcat still can't fight Rogue." Logan and Embers eyes grew wide.
" She what?" Embers practically yelled out, and then was violently dropped to the ground by Logan.
" Who's Shadowcat?" Logan asked in anger not showing as much self-control as Max.
" She can't find her. She having trouble, she said there were to many of the soldiers around for her to walked around freely to find her." Strom said disappointed, as she looked to Logan and then to Embers, but when she looked back at Logan he had just jumped off the side of the building onto the next one in the direction Sabertooth and John headed. " LOGAN!" She called after him.
" Yo Claws where are you going man?" Embers asked as he leaned over the edge of the roof and watch him leap another building.
" To find Creed, his buddy was with her, where he is I know she will be." Logan said then took of at full speed.
" I'm following him. You go meet Cyclopes and the others at the meeting point okay?" Storm nodded and Embers took off after Logan. " The things I do for old friends." Max said as he took a running start over to the next building.

" Oh mah Gawd." Rogue said aloud as she tried to calm herself down. She had a major headache, and was trying to adjust to the new weight of her new wings. " Okay Rogue be calm. Relax.deep breath.ok.LOGAN!" Rogue remembered now why she was in a hurry before hand. She had to go find Logan and save him. Though she doubted he needed saving, but she still had to find him and make sure he was okay just the same.
She turned to look at the end of the alley and walked slowly hearing her footsteps echo through out the alley. As she passed by Gambit, she noticed her hands had no gloves on them, and she wasn't in the mood to add another physic to her all ready large collection. She then began to look for her gloves, but then remembered that they had exploded when she absorbed him. She sighed then noticed that he was wearing a pair of gloves. Think it was his fault that she had no gloves the least he could do would be to let her borrow his gloves. It wasn't steeling if she was going to give them back right? But did that mean she wanted to see him again? Who would want to, she asked herself. I mean he is a dirty heartbreaking Cajun, Rogue thought to herself.
He's cute. Rogue heard Alex comment, and rolled her eyes to the comment.
Gathering her courage she walked over and knelt down beside him, and slowly and as carefully as possible began to remove one of his gloves. Once she removed the first one she found she had ran into a problem. Her claws. ' How do ah fix dis?' Rogue thought as she tried to focus on retracting her claws. Alex? Little help. Rogue projected to the new girl in her head.
Just relax and search for a small pulse in your fingers, once you feel it and harness it they should retract. Alex answered not missing a beat.
Okay, and th' same thing ta bring dem out? Rogue asked back.
Why? You plan on fighting or something? Alex asked; Rogue could hear the small tone of fear in her voice.
Uhuh. Ah gotta find Logan. Rogue said back while trying to feel the small pulse in her hand she then found it and harnessed it, and in the blink of an eye her claws retracted to there original size. Rogue sighed in relief and took off Remy's other glove and slipped it on. Alex never answered her, she remain silent while Rogue concentrated on retracting her claws. After few more moments she spoke up.
So who is he? Alex finally asked with a hint of excitement and curiosity.
Can't really say for sure. His name is Remy Lebeau, he lived in New O'leans, and ah think met him befoh a couple years back but ah'm not sure. Rogue answered truthfully as she began to walk out of the alley, leaving Remy's body behind.
Aren't you going to help him? I thought you said you knew him? Alex questioned raising her voice a little.
Not so loud. Rogue projected back, she then froze to the sound of gunshots and looked up to see two figures jumping across the roof. " Huh?" She then heard the sound of footsteps approaching, actually a lot of footsteps. She then looked back to her only exit to see right in front of her blocking her only exit were five soldiers, holding guns ready to take fire at Rogue.
And it just so happens that Remy picked that time to wake up. Rogue heard him give a small groan, as he slowly raised his head up to right at her. Remy was totally oblivious to the men pointing their guns at them.
" Freeze." One of them called out to Remy, Rogue turned and glared at the them, slowly slipping off Remy's gloves and shoving them into her pocket, trying to find the pulse in her hands to bring her claws back out. " I said freeze Mutie." He called out again.
Remy glared at him, and stood up tall, wobbling a bit still out of dizziness from the kiss Rogue gave him. He had a smirk plastered on his face and Rogue tried to avoid his gaze. Remy then turned to face the five soldiers, and flashed them a grin. " Dat be no way t' talk t' a femme." Remy said with his eyes half open half closed as he gracefully pulled out a hand full of cards, and they began to glow. He smirked at their vacant expressions and threw the cards. Unfortunately Remy was still pretty drained and Rogue watched as he collapsed to the ground after he threw the cards. Cursing Rogue shot out her claws and charged at them. Remy had knocked out three of them leaving only two left. The explosion had thrown them a bit, so Rogue decided to give her wings a try and went after them, bring out her claws.
