Chapter 14: You Wouldn't Dare

:

* Dunnngg. *

The loud echoing of something strong being flung against a thick metal wall caused a loud deep echo to hum threw the tiny cell, as well as Logan's ears but he paid them no mind. As he blocked it out he once again rammed his shoulder into the metal wall. At what he thought was the entrance or the exit, it depends on how you look at it.

* Dunnnggg*

" Claws." Embers called out to him. He lay their still pretty weak compliment to the tranquilizer Magneto threw into his neck. From what Logan had told him he himself was out for five minutes and found himself and in a small metal orb like thing with Embers unconscious body beside him. Logan recoiled back but continued to charge again.

* Dunnngggg*

" Claws, you keep this up you're going to break something." Embers called out again. He still couldn't use his legs, everything above his waist was functional. So he sat there paralyzed against the wall, watching Logan ram his body against the large metal wall every few seconds, in there ten by twelve cell.

* Dunnnngggg*

" Logan come on, this isn't helping." Max tried again. Logan didn't answer.

* Dunnnnngggg*

" Logan."

* Dunnnnngggg*

" Logan."

* Dunnnnngggg*

" LOGAN."

* Dunnnnngggg*

* Crack.*

A small chuckle escaped Embers lips. " Ya did it. Ya finally broke something." Embers slapped his knee. " Maybe now you'll jus sit and wait mi amigo?"

" Shut up." Logan growled. He collapsed beside Max holding his shoulder, and panting lightly. Logan gritted his teeth as he popped his shoulder back into place.

* Creeick pop.*

Embers eyes grew huge as he cringed at the thought of doing that himself. " AW man do ya have ta do that right next ta me?" Embers complained trying to scoot away from Logan, but failed do to the fact he had very little feeling in his legs.

It was now Logan's turn to chuckle lightly, as Embers shook his head clear of all unwanted thoughts having to do with putting broken body parts back into place. Embers shived at the very thought. "Eso es él que lo le pierden. Él piensa que él es Evil Kanevil y que va a matarse y más probable tómeme junto con él.." He ranted in his native tongue.

" Hey." Logan called out, now standing preparing to charge at the door again, now that his arm was all fixed up thanks to his healing power.

" Huh?" Embers stopped his ranting and looked over to Logan whom was rotating his shoulder like nothing had happened.

" If you're gonna talk trash about me, the least you could do, is do it in English. Okay?" He asked, Embers could have sworn if the light was better that Logan was smiling.

" Fine." Embers then folded his arms over his chest like a little kid being punished. He tried again to move his legs and found that it was getting easier to move them. " Hey I can move my legs a bit."

" Good. Then I'll turn it up a notch." Logan called out as he lunged at the door again. But this time instead of the normal sound of his body being hurled against the hard metal there was silence. Dead silence. Logan growled and struggled as he felt his arms get pined down to his sides, constantly growling.

" Where's the bang?" Embers asked after a moment of silence. It was to dark to really see anything and all he could hear was the sound of Logan's constant growling and him muttering something about a stupid metal body. Suddenly Embers felt a familiar magnetic pull as the door opened.

" Bang, Mr. Cooper." Magneto's cold voice echoed as his loud metal boots touched the hard metal floor. His cap making a small swinging sound as he walked in, letting in some much needed light.

It had to be about four am by now. But Remy was still awake. After his little fainting spell Remy was out of it for an hour of so. As soon as he remembered everything he got out of the bed they had put him in and he made his way back into the med lab to check on Rogue.

He pulled up an empty chair and made himself comfortable sitting next to her bedside. Just watching her. Mr. McCoy told him she was awake just resting now and it would take a few days for the medication to completely extract the- what he referred to as AM Toxin. AM standing for Anti Mutant. Clever huh? He also said that there'll be some slight brain damage with the trauma she's been threw but should recover fully in a few days.

Remy watched her closely. Rogue looked like she was having a nightmare. Feeling a little useless he reached for her bare hand and held it in his bare one. He was amazed to see that he could touch her no problem. Remembering when she first touched him brought a smile to hip lips as he touched his lips softly. Even thought it was a brief kiss and left him unconscious for a little while it was still nice.

Rogue seemed to calm a bit at the feel of his hand in hers. To bad. Remy thought, she was touching some one for the first time in a long while and didn't even know it. He sighed. It was then that Remy heard the faint distant sound of loud footsteps belonging to someone wearing heavy boots. Remy raised an eyebrow and strained his ears to listen as the footsteps grew closer. It reminded him a lot of his time in Area 51, but he managed to block out the memory, for now at least.

Suddenly the constant footsteps stopped and the door to the med lab slid open to reveal a slender Goth looking girl about Rogue's age walk in. As if she knew exactly what and where she was going she headed for the cabinets with out noticing Remy or Rogue in there.

Remy released Rogue's hand for the moment and snuck up behind the Goth looking girl. She had short black hair that was dyed red at the top. She wore a long red trench coat and torn up black jeans. She grabbed a small vial of a green liquid and pocketed it. Remy was right behind her now and she still had no knowledge of his presence. He was about to make his move and grab her when she twirled around and brought a knife to his neck in one quick and graceful movement. " You." She hissed after recognizing him.

Remy was still a little unsure but looked at her closely then gulped realizing who it was. Only one person could get the jump on him like her. " Bonjour Wanda." Remy said as kindly as he could, what with a knife to his throat and all.

She had grabbed the neck of his shirt and held him there, tempted to kill him. She sighed in aggravation. " Is my father here?" She asked in a hushed tone.

" Non." Remy answered simply the knife pressing into his neck.

" If you're lying." She threatened.

" He's not lying. He's here because of her." Todd had entered the room now, he came up close to Wanda but still kept his distance pointing to Rogue's limp form. Wanda looked at Todd for a moment then to the girl lying in the bed life less then back to Toad, she sighed in anger.

" Your not worth my time anyway Swamp Rat." Wanda growled dropping Remy roughly to the ground.

" Sweetums, your temper needs some work." Todd said out flatly. Remy looked form Wanda then to Todd. Remy reached up and felt his neck. He pulled his hand back and saw a little blood on his fingers. Great, he thought.

" I told you not to call me that Toad." Wanda growled at him forgetting about Remy for the moment. Remy just watched not daring to say anything.

" But Cupcake." He began. But Wanda didn't listen to him she just walked out not bothering to listen time him or say good-bye. Toad looked depressed like a little kid that just found out there favorite TV was canceled. But he saw Toad follow her out. He thought he heard them argue a bit and a loud thud of someone crashing into a wall but he wasn't too sure.

Remy decided now was a safe time to get up. He reached into his pocket and fingered the small vial that he managed to snatch from Wanda's pocket when she wasn't paying attention. Dam he was good, Remy thought with a smug smile. He eyed the vile closely. He was to shocked to really think straight. It was the AM Toxin. Why would Wanda want this, what reasons could she have for this?

" CAJUN!" He heard Wanda yell out from down the hall interrupting his thoughts. He cringed. She knew. She found out he had taken it. DAM. In about five seconds flat Wanda was in the doorway glaring at him. The lights began to flicked and it seemed she was playing with the power in the building.

" Chere." He tried to calm her but it didn't work. It only seemed to make matters worse.

" GIVE ME THE VILE NOW!" She ordered in a deadly tone as more objects in the room seemed to accumulate in the air and fly at his head.

" What's it for Wanda?" Remy asked calmly, as he casually avoided a few flying objects heading directly for his head. Wanda's temper seemed to grow the more he talked.

" Give it to me now." She wasn't yelling. That's what scared Remy the most, she wasn't yelling she was being deadly calm. Boom like that her mood switched way to easily. Though Remy showed no such emotion.

" Tell Remy now, or y' can kiss dis vile au revoir." Remy said calmly as the vial began to glow a deep pink. Remy's smirk grew wider but Wanda's eyes still glared at him as if she didn't buy his threat.

" You wouldn't dare." Wanda stated calmly as she folded her arms over her chest. Closely watching the Cajun the held the vial up in the air right in front of his face smirking.

" Oh really chere?" He asked giving a devilish grin, as the vial began to glow an even deeper pink now more of a red crimson color.

" If you were to blow that up then it would infect both of us and most likely kill us. You don't know the full extent of that toxin, now uncharged it." Wanda said shifting her wait to her right foot moving her hands to rest on her hips.

" Don' care." He stated simply, as he began to increase the charge in the vile. Now Wanda was starting to believe him, her eyes grew wide and fear filed them. A small humming sound began to emit from the small vial as Remy began to charge it even more.

" You wouldn't?" Wanda breathed out, her mouth opened a bit.

" Tell Remy's why y' want dis vial den p'tite?" He asked again pretty calm for a man that could kill them all if he was to let his concentration slip.

" I.I." Wanda looked around seeing no other way out of this situation she had to tell him. " I was going to use it to poison my father base. No give it to me and I'll spare your life." Wanda threatened. Remy laughed.

" Chere do y' really t'ink y' are in a position t' be threatenin' Remy?" He asked trying to contain his laughter. Wanda's temper boiled over with that.

" If you don't give me that vile now." The objects in the room became more aggressive as Remy tried to avoid them.

" Again p'tite Remy say dat." But he was cut off Wanda sent a chair flying at right at him as Remy struggled to dodge it while dogging everything else he dropped the vial.

Wanda watch with wide eyes as the small vial slowly descended to the tile floor. Oh God. She thought. She didn't actually think he would have dropped it. If it dropped no problem but if it were to be exposed to an increased amount of heat it would become a gas like vapor and then become a far more deadly poison to mutants. It would pass threw the body slowly, as it left small trails of it's deadly form in the body where ever it managed to pass threw. The blood stream would soak it up and once in the human body long enough it would become a liquid once more and flow threw the blood increasing the area of damage it could cause.

That was her plan to let it lose in the air vents to leave her father to die a painful death .But now she was about to suffer the fate she so desperately wanted to have her father endure. The last thought that popped into her head the last few seconds before the vial hit the floor was Toad isn't that bad of a guy. Why that thought popped in there she had no idea.

The vial hit the ground and there was nothing she could do to prevent it. Once it hit the contents caught on fire and a small yet still powerful explosion sounded in the middle of the room. Causing the room to shake and more vials to fall and add to the combustion.

Authors Note: Ya I'm bad but oh well. Stay tuned to find out. Okay the stay- tuned part will have to wait for about two weeks. I have a huge Bio project and then the week after I have finals so two weeks then schools out and then I will pick my writing back up. And do to the fact that there is a lack of Romyness in this fic I have taken time to write a side story. Called Can't Stop Loving You. I needed to write some do to the lack of in this fic but I am getting there. This last part of the fic just popped into my head at the last minute so the Romyness is being delayed so sorry. But is still coming. I personally like slower moving fics as long as they are still moving, not the ones that move so fast and people skip the detail and just write the Romyness no you sign up for a story so put it all in. PLEASE bear with me and see ya.
