WRONG MOVE

As they crept upon Magneto's base, they couldn't help but be amazed at this fortress made of absolutely nothing but metal. But they had no time to stand in awe, they were on a mission. On the way here, they decided no more splitting up unless necessary. They were going to do this together or not at all. There was no reason to make this anymore risky than it already was. The two girls were tired, but they were not about to let that overcome them, there was no more time to waste. Neither one still understood the point of this, Pyro was never given the information as to why them. Was it only them, or was it just because they were all that was left to get away.

Rogue could not sense the X-men nor the Brotherhood inside. In fact, she could not sense anyone at all, but knew that could have just been a rouse set up by Magneto. For all she knew, they could be deeper into this magnetic fortress than she knew of. There were still points in there that she knew that Magneto did not even allow his own men into. But they did not want to use such a direct approach in this battle, no they had to find a way to sneak in without being detected. So Rogue went searching through the pyromaniac's memories to find an escape route from the base, that they could use, instead, to get inside. It wasn't far away at all. To the human eye, it was unseen, but Rogue knew what she was looking for and quickly grabbed Wanda's hand and used Kitty's powers to phase straight down through the ground.

It was too dark, and the path was narrow, so Rogue pulled out Pyro's lighter and produced a larger flame ahead of them, not just lighting the way, but also using it as a first defense if they ran into anyone. After what felt like forever, the hallway ended but there was no door, just a wall. They looked at one another, hoping to gain courage from the other, then grabbed one another's hands.

'Ya ready for this?' Rogue asked her telepathically.

'It's now or never.' Wanda sent back

Rogue nodded and they phased through the wall. But they were never expecting what they saw on the other side. Merely a few feet away were Sabertooth, Remy, Pyro, and Colossus all prepared for a fight. Then out of nowhere, Magneto came from behind the four, walking before them.

"We have been expecting you." Wanda's hands started to glow, but Rogue put a hand on her shoulder.

'Not yet. It's not time.'

"What's this all 'bout?"

"You have surpassed my first impression of you Rogue. You as well as your powers have outdone themselves."

"What are ya talkin' 'bout?"

"I know all about you, my dear. Why else would I have watched out for you for so long? You still have so much to learn. Anna, you could be a one woman army."

"No momma, Ah didn't ask for this." Just as soon as the words left her mouth, everyone in the room, including Wanda looked at her as if she had grown two heads. "That's, this is not who Ah wanted ta beh. Ya played with mah life, just ta manipulate meh inta what ya wanted. What ya wanted meh to beh and do for ya, but that is not who Ah am." Magneto's form manipulated into the familiar blue body of Mystique, as everyone including the four behind her stared in disbelief.

"Then who are you my little Rogue?" Rogue smiled.

"Ah am who and what Ah want ta beh." Then she flipped open Pyro's lighter and put a fiery wall between Mystique and them. Then she made the fire look uncontrollable, allowing the flames to rise higher and higher. Rogue grabbed Wanda's shoulder and teleported behind their enemies as Mystique yelled into the fire, "What good will that do you Rogue?" They both smiled as they took note that as Pyro made the fire die down, that no one turned around until it was too late. Both of the girls hands glowed as they sent each of the people before them flying in opposite directions. They looked at the scene before them as Rogue took notice to where Mystique landed. She held out an arm and then beckoned her to come to her as she forced her to levitate and do so. Rogue then brought her close to her face, making sure to keep her from flinging around to much as stared at her for a moment, "Where are they? Are they here?" she growled at her. Mystique laughed.

"If'n ya don't tell meh, Ah can take it the hard way." Mystique tensed up and narrowed her eyes.

"You wouldn't dare. And you can't use telepathy on me." Rogue smirked evilly.

"Don't need ta, momma." She brought her gloved hand to her mouth and bit the glove, pulling it off with her teeth. Then she turned to check on Wanda for a second, only to notice that she was making short work of her problem at hand, but also noticed that Remy was no where to be seen. She turned back to Mystique and went to grab her face, but a gloved hand grabbed her wrist. It was Remy. Mystique grinned. Remy held her arm in place mere inches away from the blue face.

"Chere," he whispered, "you don't want ta do this."

"Ah have ta."

"Non, Remy help ya." Mystique's grin left as fast as it came.

"You can not. You do not have that information." He turned to her.

"Remy be a thief, non." he growled at her.

"Ya know where they are Remy?" he smiled down at her.

"Non, but got a good idea. Better den fishin' in dat head." and he gestured to Mystique. Rogue nodded, "But what ta do with ya?"

Rogue took a few steps back, as if she were contemplating it, then all of a sudden her eyes turned red, then Mystique was sent flying back from one of Cyclops's optic blasts square in the chest. While she was down on the ground unconscious, she sent some chains over to her, wrapping her intire body in it and then sent some metal walls to her melting them into place with the optic beams. Remy walked over to her and took her hand, and then they walked over to the scene before them. Wanda having fun throwing around the other three guys. But Pyro, of course, seemed like he was being picked on the most.

'Wanda.'

Her smile faded from her fun being ruined, but held the three in place. Sabertooth was up against a wall, Pyro crashed in some crates, and Colossus was held down by a beam on the ground. Remy smirked but held an otherwise blank expression.

"We be goin' mes amis."

"Owzat?" Pyro chimed in as if he wasn't hurting and then laughed his crazy laugh.

"We gonna help de femmes." Sabertooth laughed, but Pyro smiled, and Colossus just laid there.

"We help dem, we get da ol' bucket head back, non." The room grew silent.

"We need ta hurry, Mystique won't be out for too long, and if'n she gets there first, we may not be able ta find them." Then Rogue left to the Blackbird followed by Wanda and Remy. As soon as Wanda left the room there was a roar from Sabertooth falling straight down. Colossus threw the beam off of himself and then followed Pyro out. Sabertooth however, did not go.
