Disclaimer: I don't own, Marvel and WB Kids own. *sniffles*

Pyro felt odd walking back into the metal hallways, seeing the rest of the Acolytes. Piotr sitting calmly in the corner chair; Pietro blabbering on the phone. Magneto didn't look too happy. Not at all. He stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed.

"Well?" His voice echoed in the metal room, making Pyro cringe. "What do you have to say for yourselves?"

Remy just dropped his bag and leaned up against the wall.

Pyro tried to look unperturbed, not making eye contact with the imposing figure in the middle of the room.

Suddenly, a metal wire whipped itself across the room, wrapping itself around Pyro's thin neck.

"I asked you a question Mr. Allerdyce." He snarled, his hand posed above his head.

Pyro winced as his feet left the ground only to be held up by the thin wire around his neck.

Remy took a step forward only to be held up against the wall himself, when another wire tied his feet together.

"Well?"

Instead of saying "Sorry." or whatever lame excuse he was going to come up with, Pyro smiled and said, "Honey, I'm home."

He saw Gambit smile from across the room. Magneto's face grew red.

Pyro took out his lighter quickly, igniting a flame and throwing it at Magneto.

Erik just laughed as he deflected the fireball with a plate of steel. He let John hang for a moment then released him just as he started to turn blue.

Pyro dropped to the ground hard, gasping as he untwisted the wire from around his neck.

He grimaced as Magneto's shadow came over him. "That was not a wise thing to do John." He backhanded John hard against the jaw, sending him flying against the metal wall behind him.

Pyro felt his jaw throb as Magneto again stood above him.

"Colossus." He said, directing his attention to Piotr. "Take him to back room until he learns how to behave."

Piotr looked like he was going to refuse but then nodded and took a step forward.

He proceeded to jerk Pyro up by his shoulders as he maneuvered him towards the end hall.

"Where are you taking him?" Demanded Remy unleashed from his wire footholds.

Magneto's eyes flashed. "Where he will be held until he can control his temper. Now get to your dorm room immediately less you want to join him."

Remy's eyes flashed with rebellion. He wasn't going to leave John in there alone.

"Well fine den."

***

"I spy with my little eye something that starts with W."

"Wall."

"How'd you guess?"

"John?"

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

Silence.

It was cold in the "back room" an entire room made of steel. No warmth crept from the walls or floors and the room was devoid of any blankets or cots.

"Remy, can I ask you a question?" John asked, trying to loosen the cuffs that bound his wrists together.

"What?" Answered Remy irritably.

"What the heck were you thinkin'!?"

Remy shrugged in the dark. "Sounded noble I guess."

Pyro sighed. "Mate, next time you feel like being noble...don't."

"Sounds good."

"Please hurry Rogue." He said silently.

***

"Professor! We gotta go help 'em!" Rogue cried, standing up.

"I'm sorry Rogue but that's just what Magneto expects. It's a trap and we'll just have to wait. I know you care for him..."

Rogue held up her hand. "Ah can't believe you. The defender of all that's good... blah, blah, blah. You won't even help to save two boys who helped us and gave us information on the very man holdin' 'em!"

"I'm sorry Rogue, truly I am. But, I can't risk anymore lives."

Rogue stormed out of the room, infuriated.

Time to go onto Plan B.

4 Hours Later...

The full moon shone through the window, creating a halo effect in Rogue's room.

Pulling on a few extra layers of clothes for warmth, she stuffed several items in her duffel bag; flashlights, blankets, food, water and money. Also a few weapons; but pepper spray was the only thing she could find that wasn't under lock and key.

She started out her door to find Amara standing there with a bag over her shoulder as well.

"What are you doing here?" Rogue asked annoyed, shouldering her bag.

"You really thought I'd let you go alone? John's out there too you know. Besides, I can drive and I can light fires. I'm a human torch. That's got to be better than those flashlights you're carrying." She motioned to Rogues bag side pocket where two flash lights prodded from within.

"Yeah, well. Just don't get in the way."

As they walked down the hall they came to a sudden stop as they saw Jean exit the bathroom.

"Oh crap." Amara muttered.

"What are you two doing up at this hour?" Jean asked; her hands on her hips. Her bright pink silk pajamas nearly blinded them in the dim light.

"Leaving." Rogue said, starting to pass her.

"You can't! The professor will be upset! It's against the rules!"

That was it.

Rogue backhanded her, knocking her unconscious.

Amara looked at her startled.

She smiled. "Been waitin' to do that for a long time."

Amara smiled back and they exited the mansion into the cold night.
