Don't own X-men, just Darren.
Ch. 6
Darren woke in a cell. His arms were chained to the wall. He shook off the massive headache and looked around.
"Hay kid? Darren, answer me!"
He looked straight across the hall and saw his father.
"Dad?"
"About time, I've been calling your name for the past thirty minuets!"
A soldier came down the hall. He walked first to Sabertooth's cell and as he pushed his key into the lock his skin turned blue and by the time the door was open Mystique was standing there.
"Good to see ya blue."
"Eric and I have been looking for you two."
She unlocked the chains bolting him to the wall and then started on Darren.
"We have ten minuets lets get out as quiet as possible."
They were at the stares when the sirens went off and the red lights started to flash.
"YOU WERE SAYING?"
Darren shouted over the noise.
"KEEP MOVING!"
She shouted back and the three started running down the hall.
Five minuets earlier-
Logan parked his bike in the woods outside the fort and silently made his way to the building. He found the door and pressed his ear to it. He could hear only two guards.
His claws popped out and he slashed at the door. When the door was barley hanging onto its hinges Logan kicked the broken wood down and ran into the building. Dodging the guards he ran through the hall and followed Rogue's sent.
Darren, Mystique and Sabertooth had made it to the roof and Mystique began prepping the helicopter.
"I'll be right back."
"Where you going son?"
"I have to get Rouge, I'll be back in five."
He ran off before Sabertooth could argue. Easily finding Rogue he started to slash at her lock with his claws, a guard ran by and Darren grabbed him by the collar. He slammed the man against the wall searched for the keys.
"Do you remember?"
"Yes."
He found them and unlocked her cell. Taking her around the waist he pulled her to him and kissed her. He then took her hand and the two ran through to the end of the hall. Darren stopped and hit a large button, all the cells opened freeing the mutants trapped inside. The two began to run again and wile running ran into Logan.
"You got a way out of here kid?"
"Follow me."
He led them to the roof where Sabertooth and Mystique were waiting.
"Why did you bring him!"
Logan and Sabertooth growled at each other.
"No time, get in now!"
Mystique yelled at them and soon they were lifting off. As they were flying overhead other planes started shooting at them, one managed to hit the tail.
"We're hit! I can't control it!"
The helicopter started to go down and before impact they group bailed out landing in the snow. With the planes closing in the group ran trough the woods. They reached the in of a cliff and realized there was no way out.
"What are we going to do?"
The answer came in the form of the Black bird.
"Get on!"
Scott ushered them all in and as soon as the door was shut the jet took off.
Back at the Fort-
"Sir, all the mutants have escaped."
Tokeal was about to step onto his helicopter.
"Damit!"
He slammed his fist against the side
"I want all the surveillance tapes on my desk, I want to know who let them out now!"
He was about to board when an explosion rocked the earth. He turned around to see his base engulfed in flames.
On the Black bird-
Logan had Scott pinned to the side of the Black bird.
"You weren't going to tell me were you, I'm staying at the school till summer, and then I'm taking her with me when I leave, is that clear?"
"Logan, we didn't want you to worry."
He dropped Scott and sat next to Rogue.
"You're not hurt are ya?"
"No."
"Drop us off in England, we can manage from there."
Mystique said as she looked out the window.
"What about Tokeal?"
"I took care of that."
She had an evil glint in her eyes and a manacle smile on her lips. After dropping off the three brotherhood members the X-men headed home. Once arriving at the mansion Logan had a long talk with the professor.
Rogue sat on her bed looking at the ceiling, her cell phone rang and she answered it.
"Hello?"
"Look outside."
"Who is this?"
She said as she walked to her window. She almost dropped the phone.
Outside was Darren, he stood with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a phone in the other. He waved to her and then put the flowers down before running off because Logan was casing him. She ran downstairs to the outside and picked up the flowers, a note was tucked in the stems. It read-
Thanks for helping me remember. I promise never to forget again.
Love Darren.
She smelled the roses and went inside to put them in water, in the distance she could hear Logan yelling at Darren telling him not to come back. Rogue smiled and put the flowers in a vase and carried them upstairs to put them on her dresser.
