Okay, surry, but in this chapter we're going to check up on Scott, no Wolvie or Jean, but don't kill me they'll be in the next chapter. I just haveta think of what's gonna happen to them.

Scott had been chained up for at least a full day. His arms hurt from hanging and he wanted to know what was going on. As if an answer to his thoughts, the man who knocked him out came through the door. He walked over to him and unchained him.

"Thanks"

"Well, I wish Wolverine had manners like you," he said more to himself than to Scott.

"Do you know where the other person I came with is, or what's happened to Jean, or Logan?" he asked hoping that he was civil and maybe would help him.

"Ha, do you really think that I can tell you that information without anything in return?"

"What do you want?"

"What are you willing to offer?"

"Anything."

"Well, then, that does make a difference. How about this you give me information and I'll give you information?"

"Information about what?"

"Xavier's mansion."

"I can't give you any information on that."

"Well then I'll just have to ask your friend. Ya know . . . you could give me information on something else."

"What?"

"On you and your teammates, including Wolverine."

"What do you need to know about him?"

Oh, you know, strengths, weaknesses, upsides, downsides, things like that."

"What will you do with that?"

"Hey, do you think I want to be here helping that maniac Stryker? I wanna get out of here too, and I think that if I use him to help me I can get all of us out," he said with such sincerity.

"What if I said that I don't trust you?"
"How about I show you. I'll let you and that women you came with see each other and stay in the same cell. Now, do you trust me? If I was working with Stryker do you think that he'd let me do that?"

"No, I guess not."

"Please, this could mean being free or getting brainwashed for the rest of our lives. Please, help me."

"Alright, what do you need to know?"

"Let's start off with each of your mutant abilities, and go from there."

Scott began to tell everything to this man named Dagger. He explained how Logan had adamantium graphed through his entire skeleton, how he had optic blasts, and Storm could control the weather. He told of their friendship, and hardships. He told him almost everything there was to tell. He did however leave out everything with the mansion and the kids at the school. Dagger in return told him about Jean, who washed up claiming to have no memory, his horrible life with Stryker, and what had happened to Logan so far.

"Thank you for your help. I'm going to go tell Logan that you can help us. In about 20 minutes an escort will be here to take you to, Ororo was it? I'll talk to you later. Oh, and sorry about earlier when I attacked. I was under Stryker's control, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. Hey, could you at least tell Logan that, well, that I'm sorry for getting on his back about everything."

"Sure," he said with an understanding smile. He turned and walked out the door. Scott looked up and saw his neck. There was no scar like the one he had.

When Dagger was down the hall, he grinned to himself. Everything's going just as I had planned it. Wolverine's going to be working with me just as he was always suppose to, except of course he'll be working under me. Phoenix will be mine as soon as she's finished talking with Wolverine. HE better not try anything with her. I'll have all of the great and wonderful X-Men working for me to rule this vile planet. And all this is going on without that moronic Col. Stryker even knowing it. He always said to advance yourself, and that's all I'm doing. I'll be the one on top, and not anyone else. Hahahahaha!

And the plot thickens!!! Next chapter will be up soon, I know, cliffhanger. Tell me how that was and if you get what I'm sayin' or not!
