I own Rin and Kara I don't own Ice. Some questions will be answered in this chapter.

Escape

Part 2

"Yeah that's easy for you to say. You love this kinda heat." Ice said fanning herself while they crawled deeper.

"Yes I do, but Kara can't handle this heat for that long. So we need to reach the roof while not making that much noise." Rin said giving them the hint. The crawled for what seem like an hour when Rin came to a vent pushed it out.

"Where are we shela?" Pyro asked before he jumped out of the vent and to the roof. He looked around to see nothing but sand for miles. "Cause we ain't in New York anymore."

"We are this is just a hologram to make escapees give up and trust me it works." Rin rip shreds off her shirt and started cleaning Kara's face. "You seem very quiet what's wrong?"

"I'm scared and I don't want to lose you again." Tears made their way down her face. "I don't want to go back there. They said things about what was going to happen to everybody and me. Rin I don't want to go back." She buried her face into Rin's shoulder

"It's ok, I won't let them hurt you anymore. I promise." Rin kissed her head and holder her close.

"No you don't get it. I don't want you to get hurt. They won't hurt me but if you get in the way they will hurt you. I don't want you to get hurt." New tears filled her eyes and wet her face.

"Nothing can hurt me. Not when I'm protecting you." Rin smiled before she cleaned her face.

"No! You still don't get it. I was in the same room with you when they hit you. I saw it. I heard everything. Not only with you but with them too, I saw in that room." Rin looked down at Kara with pain and shock covered her face.

"I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry you had to see that. Please forgive me." The tears that were in her eyes broke free and fell from her face onto Kara's head. The two stood there for a moment until Pyro wrapped his arms around them.

"Shela we have to get going before they find us." Rin nodded using a presser point to put Kara to sleep. "What do we do now that we are on the outside of the building?" Pyro asked walking to the edge of the roof and looking down.

"We fly outta here and back to the mansion. But after that, I'm all out of ideas." Rin walked up next to Pyro. She turned to face Ice. "Do you think you can handle carrying Gambit?"

"Gambit is no problem, what I'm worried about is you carrying Pyro and Kara." Ice crossed her arms while looking out at the vast nothingness.

"If I'm having a problem I'll tell you, deal?" Rin held out her hand and Ice took it. Shaking hands Ice grabbed Gambit and took to the sky. Rin tied Kara to her and took Pyro's hands. "Well here we go." Spreading her wings she took off after Ice. Hours past until they saw the mansion. Landing in front of the door they walked in cautiously. The mansion was in shambles and sounded empty.

"Guys get over here." Ice yelled from another room. Rin laid Kara on a couch and walked into the room. Magneto, Storm, Sabertooth, and Wolverine were out cold on the floor with collars around their necks. As they walked around the mansion they found the other students tied up with collars on. When all the students were untied and had the collars taken off they started talking a mile a minute.

"STOP!" Pyro, Ice and Gambit yelled at the same time. They shut their mouths and sat down while the three paced back and forth in the room.

"Now without yelling, talking at the same time, and breathing say that all again." Ice said still pacing with Gambit and Pyro.

"These people came into the mansion after they took you guys. We held them off as long as we could but they were to strong. Before we know it we had collars on us and we were being tied up. They had to drug Sabertooth and Wolverine to take them down. I don't know how they took down Magneto and Storm. Where did they take you guys anyway?" One of the mutants said.

"We'll be askin' de questions here. All ya need ta know is dat we're back for now and we need ta get dis place back in order until we can get Magneto up." Gambit grabbed Pyro and Ice taking them to Rin. "Ok Rin, Gambit wants some answers and he doesn't care how he's gonna get dem." He stood in front of her not letting her pass him.

"Fine I'll tell you just wait until I get them up." Rin nodded behind her to the four still unconscious people. He nodded walking over to some chairs and sitting down. Rin untied them and took off the collars before she waved alcohol strips under Storm's nose. Storm opened her eyes trying to focus on the person in front of her.

"Child, what happened to you? Why are your clothes…Rin you're covered in blood!" Storm franticly looked where it was coming from.

"'Ro, it's old dried blood now can you help me wake the others?" Rin handed her an alcohol strip. Rin stood behind Wolverine while Storm stood behind Sabertooth. They both woke lashing out in front of them. "I'm glad I'm behind you." Rin smiled when Wolverine looked back at her. His eyes took in her battered and bloody body.

"Who did this to you?" He growled looking around the room. Rin shook her head and gave him a small laugh.

"The same people that tied you up and knocked you out. Now some of the other students need help fixing the place." He went to speak but she put her finger over his lips. "We can talk later but right now we have better thing we could be doing. Like getting the mansion back on its feet." He gave in hugging her tightly. He walking out of the room barking orders at the slacking students. Ice had walked over to Sabertooth.

"Victor, I'm sorry about yelling at you and saying that you weren't my dad. But really you've been more like a dad to me than my real dad ever was. So can I have my overprotective dad back?" Ice gave his a lopsided smile. He reached out to her giving her a hug. He walked over to Gambit.

"Now for some reason she likes you and I don't know why. But if you make her cry I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres of land, do you hear me?" Gambit swallowed the lump in this throat and nodded. He walked out of he room yelling at Wolverine for being tied up and knock out. With the last alcohol strip Rin woke Magneto.

"I knew that they shouldn't have been trusted." He said walking out of the room. Rin looked over at Storm who nodded leaving. Rin stood against the wall while the door was closed and the other sat in chairs on the other side of the room.

"Where do you want me start?" She said sliding down the wall and hugging her knees.

"From de begging would be good." Gambit crossed his arms not looking straight at her.

"When I was four my parents put me that building thinking it was going to help me. I learned to use my powers and control them. I was going to be with the secret group. But I didn't like the way they ran things. They made us watch as they interrogated people and beat them. They said it was to help us become strong. When I was six was the first time I tried to run away. After that it was all the time. They would do anything to catch me until it got out of hand. One of the people tried to kill me and was close but as a last resort I killed him. That's when they all started to try to kill me but I got away. I ran to my parents and told them about what they were doing." Tears started to roll down her face and fall on to her shirt.

"Rin you don't have to tell them, I will." Ice went to comfort her when she saw Rin shake her head no. She nodded and sat back down.

"We were driving here to ask for Magneto's help when a car came out of nowhere and hit ours. I was pulled from the car but it exploded before they could get to my parents. They killed my parents to get a hold of me but what they didn't know was that my parents signed something giving me to Magneto if something ever happened to them. Those people couldn't get me when I was with Magneto. I was safe and happy." She hugged her knees and cried with her head hanging down.

"Rin, Gambit is sorry. He didn't know. It's just…" He stopped talking when Kara walked into the room.

"Is everything ok? Why is Rin crying?" She ran over to her hugging her and trying to make her feel better. Rin pulled Kara into her lap and rocked back and forth.

"I won't let them hurt you. Not anymore. I promise." She ran her hand through her hair while Gambit and Ice walked out of the room leaving Rin alone with Pyro and Kara.

"I'm here for you shela." Pyro said wrapping his arms around the both of them holding them close.

"Why did you ask her to do that?" Ice said helping around the mansion.

"Dey told Gambit things and I had ta know de truth. When ya came back in ya wouldn't even look at her. Want ta tell Gambit why?" Gambit handed the person next to him another bucket of dirt.

"She told me it, all of it and I didn't believe her. But when I was taken into that room I found out everything she told me was true. I just felt really bad when they brought me back. I'm her friend and I didn't believe her." Ice dumped more rubble into the buckets near her.

"Chere, ya don't have ta be so hard on yaself." Gambit handed a full bucket to the person next to him. "Did we really do dis much damage?" He said changing the subject.

"Well there was them trying to take Kara, Rin becoming very pissed off, us beating the crap out of people and then them taking over the mansion with everyone else trying to stop them. So yes we did all this damage and now we have to clean it all up." Whipping the sweat from her face she looked around the mansion. The furniture for the most part was still good, the walls and rooms only needed a few hours of work and paint.

"You know this place looks pretty good for going through its own war." Rin laughed patting Ice and Gambit on the back before she continued to walk down the hall.

"What's gotten into her?" The student next to Gambit asked. Gambit shrugged pointing at Ice who gave them her 'don't look at me' face. After hours of cleaning and fixing as many rooms as they could most of the students went to sleep in their make shift beds.

"Do you really think that were safe for now at least?" Ice asked sitting on the dust covered couch.

"No they probably know where we are they're just waiting for the right time to come. And I don't think we can keep this running away and beating the crap out of people for that much longer. I don't think Kara can take much more of seeing us being hurt trying to protect her." Rin cleaned her face of sweat and dirt handing the rest of them water bottles and a wet rag to clean up with.

"You and your damn logic. You know you could have said 'we are perfectly safe here no one will ever find us' and then just maybe I could sleep tonight." Ice groaned dropping her head back on the couch throwing dirt back on her once clean face.

"That would mean I would be lying to you." Rin smirked while she walked out of the room.

"I hate when she does that." Ice said re-cleaning her face. Gambit wrapped his arms around her.

"Ya don't have ta worry, Gambit will protect ya." He pulled her closer kissing her lifting her off the couch and into his arms. "Later mon ami." He called over his shoulder before he disappeared down the hall. Pyro sat in what was left of one of the living rooms before her took off to Rin's room.

"Sir if you would have sent us in, in the first place we would have the girl." A large man said from behind the boss.

"I didn't think it would come to this." He said leaning back in his chair. "Where are they at this moment?"

"They went back to the mansion and have somewhat fixed it." The man said.

"Very well, Blackout I want you and the team to get the girl." He went silent for a moment and started up again. "I want Kara and Rin alive. Skye seems to like her and we wouldn't want him to be made mad now do we." He turned in his chair to look at the man behind him.

"I understand sir. We will leave in the morning and take the two with few problems." Blackout stepped back into the shadows and walked out of the room. The man sitting into the chair stood up walking to another door.

"Skye we're close, we're so close." He said to his son on the other side of the door.

"I don't care you let both of them go. I want them back." A voice yelled from the other side. The man frowned walking away form the door leaving the room.
