Chapter 2: Expose" The head, she hurts."
RoguesHeart
Rogue's face contorted with suspicion as she watched as the handsome Cajun climb through the shattered wall.
Logan growled deep in his throat.
" Remy LeBeau, why have ya come to grace us wit' yo' presence?"
Remy turned to glance at her. His crimson eyes flickering mischievously.
" Remy knows dat de Chere was jus' yearnin' t' be close t' him…so he come t' rescue y'."
Rogue rolled her eyes.
" Well then Lebeau, get t' rescuing."
Remy grinned at her and stepped in front of her chamber.
" Stand back chere.."The glass began to glow brightly. Rogue's eyes widened slightly as she backed away to the farthest wall, which wasn't far considering the chamber was about as big as closet. She glanced back at the glass covering only momentarily before covering her face with her arms, to protect herself from any glass shards that decided to enlodge themselves into her face.
As if in slow motion, a small crack began to form in the glass, starting in the middle and spreading and darting out like spider webs. A high pitched humming noise sounded off before the glass shattered and crashed to the floor. Almost immediately did the alarms in the entire building complex begin to sound off even louder than before.
" Alright dere Chere?"Rogue pulled down her arms, and stared blankly at the grinning Cajun.
" No."
Pushing past him, she walked over to Logan's chamber.
" Break him out too Gambit."
Remy shrugged slightly before attempting to blow up the glass around the chamber door. Rogue turned away, believing that Remy had it fully under control.
Currently, Piotr had changed into his metallic form and was using his fist to break Hank McCoy out of his cell, after the glass shattered; Hank walked out, his face wide with a grin.
Rogue waved at him and turned her attention over to Sabretooth and Pyro who were glaring at the glass on Evan's cell chamber. Rogue let out a snort and walked over to them.
" Uh… Are y' going to stare at him all day or are y' goin' t' let him out?"
Sabretooth glared at her but didn't speak while Pyro grinned insanely.
" Oh sure Sheila, but I like him better in there. "
Evan snarled at him.
" Hey, I heard that…I'm standing right here!!"
Rogue sighed to herself.
" Can't y' burn it down or slash it…or something?"
Pyro shook his head, his face looking forlorned.
" Sadly, the glass she be fire proof…"
Rogue sighed to herself and rubbed her head.
" Do not worry… "
Hank placed a hand upon her shoulder and smiled. Piotr looked down at her; even though the man was huge, you could sense that he was no way near what anyone could call scary.
" Maybe I can be of some assistance. "
Piotr made a fist with his right hand, and smashed it hard into the glass, leaving a gaping hole. Rogue smirked at him.
" Thanks, Ah thank Ah can do the rest."
Rogue closed her eyes and concentrated hard upon the glass. Using Jean's control over telekinesis, she gently pulled the door out from it's hinges and placed it upon the floor.
Everyone gawked at her strangely.
" If you could do that, why didn't you do it in the first place?" asked Evan.
Rogue shrugged.
" 1: The chamber had a power negator and 2: Nobody asked." she spoke nonchalantly.
Remy chuckled behind her, much to the dismay of Logan who was glaring daggers at him.
" So what are we waiting for? Let's get out of here.."
" No."
Everyone turned to look at Rogue.
" What?"
Rogue rolled her eyes at their irritation.
" Uh. . . Aren't we forgetting some one?"
Evan groaned.
" Aww Rogue… Fred's a big boy, he can take care of himself.."
Rogue glared at him.
" What if it were you who were about to get sent off to some Mutant Camp?"
Evan sighed to himself.
" Point taken.."
Rogue nodded at him.
" Ah'll go get him.."
Logan frowned.
" Like hell you will, I'm going with you…"
Rogue glared at him.
" Logan, ah'm more than capable of taking care of myself.."
Logan glared back at her.
" That may be but you are still too young too…"
Rogue patted him on his head.
" That'll do Wolvie, that'll do… See ya on the outside!"
With that, Rogue ran past them and down the corridor they had seen Fred being hauled down.
" ROGUE!!" she heard Logan cry out.
Rogue ignored it and continued to run at full speed down the hallway. A group of soldiers ran up to her as she neared the huge door on the opposite end.
" Halt MUTANT!!"
' Ugh.. Ah don't have time for this..'
Lifting her hand, she shot out a hex bolt at the group of soldiers, making them scatter.
" You'll pay for that wench!!"
Rogue stopped in her tracks and wheeled around to look at the man who had called her such a demeaning term.
" What did y' say?" she spoke in a deadly voice.
The soldier snarled at her. Lifting his gun, he prepared to shoot her but she beat him to the punch and drop kicked him in the face.
Another soldier lunged at her, attempting to key haul her into the wall but once again, Rogue was too quick for them. She parried his attack by smashing her heel into his chin, breaking his jaw with a sickening crack. She picked up the two fallen men's guns and pointed them at the other soldiers.
" Anyone else want to try anything?"
The soldiers glared at her but didn't move. Rogue carefully edged her way to the door. Just as she was reaching for the button to open it, a hasty impatient soldier decided it was time for him to intervene.
He swung the butt of his gun at her head, attempting to take her out. Rogue frowned and kicked him in the nuts. But she wasn't finished there, tapping into one of her latent powers; she formed them into a whip.
She stared at it for a moment…
" OOh, it kind of looks like the one ah saw in Catwoman… Cool!" she beamed to herself.
The soldiers looked at her as if she were crazy but attacked any ways. Rogue flipped into the air, her whip unconsciously wrapping itself around one of the soldier's throats.
She landed gracefully onto the floor, the man thumping down behind her. The remaining soldiers gasped in surprise and attempted to run.
" NA AH AH AHHH… Y' started this, now ah'm goin' t' finish it!"
Rogue formed another whip into her left hand and lashed it forward. The whip slashed one of the men in half, causing for his body to disintegrate in mid air.
" OOOh, that was SOOOOO COOOl!!!" she squealed. (a/n: I know, Rogue squealing. . . Not happening… but you'll find out why.)
The sole surviving soldier was plastered against the wall, his eyes wide in terror.
" Puh..Please…" he quivered.
Rogue edged closer to him. The man began to panic.
" No wait… I have children, a wife, and… And…uh.. A car!"
Rogue smirked at him and lifted her hand into the air, reforming the whip once more.
" NOo.. Wait a minute will ya?" he shouted fearfully.
Rogue stopped and stared at him. The man's face relaxed and he leaned over. Rogue glanced down at her watch, staring at the little hand spinning around. Eventually it passed by the twelve.
Rogue blinked momentarily and then relifted her hand. The man smacked his body back against the wall.
" Okay, ah waited."
Before the man could speak, she lashed the whip down upon him. But she never got to finish through with the attack because his body slumped over.
Rogue stared at him.
" What the hell?"
Using her shoe, she gently prodded his side. When he didn't respond, she grinned.
' Ha, he scared himself t' death..'
Rogue retracted her whips and jogged back over to the door. Using Juggernaut's power, she pushed it in.
" Finally.." she thought to herself.
Sprinting lightly down the hallway, she decided now would be the perfect time to get in contact with Theo. Reaching into her uniform pocket, she pulled out a small communicator about the size of quarter. Pressing the middle of it, she watched as it began to glow. A small holographic body flipped out of it.
" Howdy Theo!" she spoke cheerfully.
The holographic Theo frowned at her. His long black hair, flopping over his face.
" Why did it take you so long to communicate?"
Rogue shrugged as she was sprinting.
" Dunno…maybe it's the lighting."
Theo snorted at her. He was quite used to her sarcastic remarks.
" Well?"
Rogue glanced down at him.
" Well what?"
Theo placed his hands on his hips.
" Did you get Trask?!"
Rogue scratched her head absentmindedly.
" No. .. "
Theo glared at her.
" Then why are you calling me?!"
Rogue shrugged. A soldier came up behind her and attempted to shoot her down, but she sent a bolt of electricity and fried him.
" Ah was lonely."
Theo rolled his eyes.
" Call me when you get something, we are down right broke here. "
Rogue glanced at him.
" What you mean Valentine hasn't caught any good bounty heads while ah was gone?"
Theo stared back at her.
" One, but he was only worth five grand. He was a miner. "
Rogue rounded a corner.
" Damn.. "
Rogue glanced down at Theo, who currently looked preoccupied at the time.
" Yo Theo, ya find something?"
Theo gazed up at her.
" Maybe, I just received an email from Munroe. It seems that a man named Yukimura Tobidaia has just escaped from federal prison."
Rogue ducked down, to avoid a particularly vicious looking guard.
" What does that have t' do wit' us?" she whispered.
Theo shrugged.
" They've already placed a reward of 50 thousand on his head."
Rogue coughed.
" Daammn, what did he do?"
" It seems that he was put in jail for running illegal toxin scams in a government office... "
Rogue rolled her eyes, the information was growing quite dull to her. She didn't really start to pay attention until she heard Theo laugh.
" What?"
Theo snorted.
" You'd never guess what he was."
Rogue frowned at him.
" Not in the mood fo' guessin' today Theo..got a mission on m' hands here."
Theo rolled his eyes.
" Whatever, but Yukimura Todedaia was a politician."
Rogue smirked.
" Ooh, corrupt government officials, my favorite.."
Theo looked disgruntled.
" I don't think you should take the case."
Rogue glanced down at him.
" And why not?"
A guard popped out of nowhere and began to slash at Rogue. She leapt out of the way quickly and nearly smacked into the wall.
' Damn, close call.'
Rogue grabbed the guards wrist and flipped him over her shoulder.
Theo waited for her to finish before he continued.
" It says here, they want him alive and in relative good health… and you know that isn't your specialty."
Rogue snorted.
" Hey, y' ain't the only one broke here, ah need some moola just like de rest of y'. So if it says alive and in relative good health then that's how ah'll deliver him."
Theo looked unconvinced.
" Sure… Just make sure you save some for the rest of us."
Rogue's eyes widened as she ran into a room resembling her somewhat of an airport. Yet it was filled with over at least 40 offline sentinels.
" We'll see, listen here Theo, ah'll have t' talk t' y' later.. "
" Wait… Rogue.."
She pressed the communicator and the hologram cut off.
Rogue dashed past the sentinels as softly as she could. There was a door behind one of their heads.
Rogue sighed to herself and ran as hard as she could, even tapping into some of Pietro's power. Unfortunately her usage of mutant abilities seemed to activate it. A loud whirring noise alerted her to it's systems beginning to come online.
" Crap.."
The sentinel's turbo boosters suddenly activated scaring the Bejezzus out of her.
" Oh Double Crap.."
The sentinel let out a wave which set off all the other sentinels. Their eyes suddenly began to glow red, indicating their active status.
" TRIPLE CRAP!!" She huffed.
Rogue closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could on Kurt's teleportation power. After what seemed to be forever, she felt the familiar bamph. Unfortunately she didn't teleport herself onto the ground, she was some how hovering over it.
" Rogue?!" came a familiar voice.
Rogue glanced around and found herself staring into a pair of blue eyes.
" Freddy?!"
Fred nodded. Just then, Rogue lost control of her power and fell flat on her ass.
" Oww.."
She stood up slowly rubbing her sore buttocks. Limping over to Fred, she scanned him for injuries.
" Are y' alright Freddie?"
Fred nodded his head.
" Yeah I am, but I can't say much for him."
Fred pointed over at a slumped over figure in the dark corner of the room.
" Who's that?"
Fred shrugged.
" The only thing I know is that his name was Morph and he was sent here after impersonating some one really important… I guess the president or something…" spoke Fred, while scratching his head.
Rogue filed away the name Morph into her memory for later usage, for some reason she felt that he would be worth something.
" Well c'mon both of you…"
Fred glanced over at Morph.
" Hey, Morph. . . It's alright she's with us.."
The figure turned slightly. He didn't speak, just stared over at her. His eyes were a dark blue and they stared at her dully, his hair was a somewhat greasy black.
Rogue rolled her eyes at his inanity. Reaching out her hand, she grabbed him by the shoulder and yanked him out of the corner.
" There we go, much better. Now I'm going to port you guys half way out of here… I'm beginning to grow tired."
Fred frowned at her.
" Why are you porting us? Can't we just go out the old fashioned way?"
Right then, a giant red fist slammed into the door. Fred glanced over at Rogue, his eyebrows raised in confusion. Rogue laughed absently.
" Did ah mention that ah awakened about forty sentinels?"
Fred groaned while Morph just stared at her in amazement.
" It would've been nice…"
Rogue shrugged and grabbed both of their hands. Concentrating hard, she visualized the room that she and the others had been imprisoned in earlier.
The familiar bamph feeling vibrated around her. Suddenly she felt a pull in the back of her mind then she blanked. When she opened her eyes, she found herself laying flat on her back with Fred and Morph looking down at her.
" Uh.. You fainted."
Rogue blinked.
" How long was ah out?"
Fred shrugged.
" Only a few seconds."
Rogue nodded her head.
" Well I guess we should get out of here then.."
Fred nodded.
" Yah huh. . Can you stand."
Rogue attempted to sit up but found the room spinning around her.
" Uh..no.. Could y' be a dear an'?…"
Fred smiled.
" No problem, the least I can do for you rescuing me an' all.."
Fred reached down and hoisted Rogue into his arms, so that her one arm could wrap around his neck. Rogue smirked at him.
" Damn it, if ah ain't a damsel in distress."
Fred rolled his eyes.
" If the guys see ya, they ain't going to let you forget it."
Rogue shrugged.
" Ah know.."
Rogue glanced over to Morph.
" Ya doin' alright there Morph?"
Morph nodded his head silently. Rogue frowned at him sternly, though her eyes spoke the opposite, they glistened with amusement.
" Can' y' talk Morph."
This caused for him to grin.
" Sure 'nough can, Ma'am.. "
Rogue smiled back at him.
" Well then, Fred.. Let's get the lead out.. The sooner we are out of here, the better."
Fred grunted at her and began to lumber his way out of the room, through the hole Gambit had made previously. Unfortunately, they were awaited on the other side by over fifty soldiers, each one with a gun. Rogeu groaned but found Fred smirking. Gently setting Rogue down, he sucked air into his chest.
Rogue leaned against Morph for support.
" What are y' doin Fred?" she whispered.
Fred didn't look at her but answered.
" It's time for the Blob to make a come back!"
Rogue grinned at him while Morph looked confused.
" What's he talkin' about Ma'am?"
Rogue glanced over at Morph.
" You'll see, and stop callin' me Ma'am , y' makin' me sound old an' ah'm only seventeen."
Morph laughed lightly.
" Sorry. . . Force of ol' habit."
Fred let out a battle cry.
" I'M GONNA KNOCK Y'ALL OVER LIKE A BUNCH OF BOWLING PINS!!"
Rogue caught herself before she rolled her eyes. Instead she watched Fred charged the startled men, and knock them over ten by ten. Unfortunately he was unable to stop himself at the momentum he was going and crashed through the wall. Fred fell through the wall and landed hard onto the grass outside.
Rogue and Morph walked over to the hole.
" Definetely not what ah had in mind but it'll do.."
Morph chuckled beside her.
" Ma'dam?"
He held out his hand to her, to escort her out of the building. Rogue smirked at him and batted her eyes flirtatiously at him.
" Why of course…" she drawled.
They both jumped through the hole, just nearly avoiding the gunshots aimed at their heads. Both of them landed with an OOMph..
Fred was already standing and looking ready to take on whatever anyone threw at him. Rogue glanced around and spotted the Acolytes and the few Xmen staring down at them from a far away hill.
' We have t' get over there, hmm.. Time t' try another teleportation..'
Rogue grabbed both the men by their shirts, and concentrated again.
' Crap ah'm nearly drained but we got t' get out of here before the sentinels come..'
Using her remaining strength, she ported them all to the hill where the others were standing.
" Rogue!! Fred!! "
Rogue collapsed onto the grass, sweat beading across her forehead and her breath coming in soft pants.
" Wooh, lets not do that again.."
Logan helped her stand, careful to stand behind her just in case she fell.
" It's about time you got here, we were about to go back in after you." spouted Hank.
Rogue smirked.
" Aww, no need to do that.."
Logan growled but didn't speak, just stared at the new guy.
" Who's he?"
Rogue glanced over at Morph, who seemed to be cowering away from them. Staggering over to him, she grabbed his arm and dragged him over to them.
" His name is Morph."
The others greeted him all friendly like, making him relax a small bit.
Rogue glanced over to the Acolytes.
" Uh ah have a question."
Remy gazed over at Rogue, looking all handsome in the process.
" What be dat chere?"
" How are we getting' out of here?"
As she spoke, four metal pods floated down to them. Remy turned to smirk at her.
" Does dat answer y' question chere?"
Wooh, a wee bit of a long chapter no? I know, I'm sooo proud of myself!! It was filled with randomness!! Oh and guess what I forgot to express earlier?
Rogue is insane! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
You'll see what I mean in the next chapter.
