Rogue and Amara walked together on the rocky terrain. They used their headsets to keep in touch with the others on their team.
"See anyone yet?" Amara asked them. Silence.
"I see Cyclops and Red." Logan said. She froze. She heard something. A rock fell down the hill beside them. Rogue nodded and Amara walked forward. She pressed her back against the rocks. Rogue ran out more and looked up, aiming her laser gun at Evan. He aimed at her. She ran back toward Amara then climbed up onto a small ledge. She hid behind a rock and took aim again.
"Spyke is down." She high-fived Amara.
"Where there's one, there's more." She looked around. There was no one. She crept silently over to the corner of the cliff. She peered around. No one. She was starting to grow nervous and frustrated. She waved to Rogue. "We've gotta climb. Just be quiet."
"I got Jubes." Bobby said. There was a little static. Amara pointed up. Rogue went first. She got to the top and there was a little commotion. Suddenly, the image faded and Amara fell to the ground. She stood up, rubbing her backside.
"What's goin' on?" Rogue asked. The professor came in and regarded them with a grim look.
"Magnus has struck. He is in the city." He paused for a minute. "We must hurry."
"You got it prof." Evan said. Everyone rushed out of the room and threw off their headsets and laser systems.
"Please hurry!"
-
Amara and John exited the X-Jet together. They stood side-by-side, staring in amazement at the damage done by just Sabretooth and Magneto. Rogue and Gambit came out next with everyone else on their heels.
"Dis is horrible." Gambit's eyes widened.
"Crikey." John's eyes roamed over cars that were embedded in buildings, signs that were bent right in half, and people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Sabretooth hit Logan, who hit him back. They started fighting while the others all split up to find Magneto.
"C'mon, St. John. Let's go find Magneto and put an end to this." Amara grabbed his hand in reassurance. He noticed her look of concern.
"We're comin' with ya." Rogue said, frowning. "Ah don't like any o' this." Gambit nodded.
"Groups be harder t' throw down." They raced off. Someone grabbed Amara. She cried out in pain and struggled against the grip that was like steel.
"Put 'er down!" John shouted. Magneto smirked. Rogue got grabbed and her hands were pulled behind her back and someone held her wrists. She struggled.
"Come, Sabretooth. We are done here." They took off. Gambit and John chased after them, fury burning in their eyes. They stopped, realizing that Magneto and Sabretooth were gone. John sank to the ground, his face in his hands. Gambit clenched his fists and pounded them into the big brick wall of the alley they were in. His eyes dimmed with pain.
"Dey be gone.."
"MAGNETO!" John pounded his fist into the ground. He never imagined such torture was possible. He remembered the dance. The feeling of Amara in his arms. Gambit was just remembering Rogue's face and her slight smile.
"He is goin' t' pay." They were so pissed off. Logan eventually found them. John was staring up at the sky with a look of pure malice. Gambit was leaning against the wall playing with his cards. He had a few left, with the packs he had in his pocket of his trench coat.
"Where are the girls?" Just that sentence ticked the two off. Gambit charged a card and threw it at a battered up garbage can. John took out his lighter and threw fireballs at the brick wall. There was already a huge burn spot on the wall.
"Magneto." John said, continuing to throw fireballs at the wall. He snarled at Logan when he walked forward.
"You gotta be kiddin' me."
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" He glared at Logan.
"Dey took 'em.. Roguey.."
"Amara.."
-
Rogue was the first to wake up. She stared at the blurry ceiling.. stone ceiling. She sat up and a sharp pain went right down her spine. She looked over at her unconscious cellmate. Amara had a cut on her forehead and a bruise was forming on her right cheek. Rogue touched her hand to her forehead and winced. This was confusing. Why would Magneto want them? A small groan passed Amara's lips as she fought to sit up. The room felt like it was spinning.
"What happened?"
"Ah'm not really sure.." Rogue answered. She knew she was a captive of Magneto, that much was clear by all the metal once she looked around. "All Ah know is that we need ta get outta here."
"How?"
"Can't fire melt metal?"
"Yeah.." Rogue took off her glove. "What are you doing?"
"Ah'm only gonna touch ya fo' a second. Ta get ya're powahs so it'll be easier fo' us ta get out." Amara nodded and reached out her hand. Rogue touched her but she found that she couldn't move her hand. Amara passed out and Rogue was able to pull her hand away.
"You will not be leaving so soon." Magneto's voice echoed in the room. She checked for a pulse, ignoring what he said. Amara was alive. She locked away the power. She got a dose of Amara's memories. She was really attracted to John and him to her.
"We need ta get outta here, Amara. Wake up." Amara didn't stir. "C'mon!"
-
Amara opened her eyes. She looked over to see Rogue sleeping peacefully in the corner, curled up into a ball. They really couldn't do a thing. Sabretooth walked by and Amara closed her eyes, hoping against hope that he didn't know she was awake. She heard him growl and a door slam. She waited for a few minutes before daring to open her eyes or move again.
"Rogue?" She whispered. She crawled over quietly and tried to shake the girl awake. "Rogue, wake up."
"Huh?" Rogue opened her eyes and blinked up at Amara. "Is it clear?"
"I think so."
"We'd bettah get outta here befo' they suspect." They both stood up and went to the metal doors. Amara started to melt the metal. It felt really good to get her anger out on it. "Hurry."
"I'm trying to do this as fast as I can." Amara whispered harshly. She made a hole and they both exited. Rogue led the way and they went out through the doors. Something was up. There was no way it was this easy to escape Magneto's clutches.
"Somethin's wrong." Amara turned toward Rogue.
"What is it?"
"Ah dunno, but Ah feel it. It shouldn't be this easy." Amara had an uneasy feeling too, but she didn't know what to do now.
"What do we do, then?"
"Ah don't know." Rogue bit her lip. "We can't stay here, but we'll get caught in some clevah trap." This was going to be a hard situation to get out of.
"Couldn't we fight? I mean, that's what training is for." Rogue stared at her then shook her head.
"No, we can't. We couldn't beat Mags unless someone distracted 'im an' Ah was able to absorb him." They looked at each other. They had a plan.
