Sitting silently in the shadows for what seemed hours, Rogue began to move. She had been watching the new mutants. In the dark she observed their actions and studied their minds. They all seemed to think that their friends would come.

Ha, what a joke. Whah would anyone want ta save them? They don't look lahke their worth it. Ah know Ah wasn't. A glazed look came over her face, almost as if she was reliving a memory. It wasn't a long visit though.

Everything suddenly began to shack with immense power. Rogue grabbed onto a pole that was close by. Rogue looked down to see if the others were all right. They looked fine, but they were all just standing there. As if they were waiting for something or someone. Lifting her ears, she listened for any clues. When nothing answered, she started to sniff out the cause. A smell of a group came to her.

Moving farther into the shadows she waited. Her breath became slow, and her eyes watched for any detail. It was quiet except for the alarm, and the men that were running to see what was happening. More blasts and shouts could be heard.

" Okay everyone. We'll just sit here nicely until the others come." barked Wolverine, " and I mean nicely."

Rogue just sat there waiting. Closing her eyes, she listened for any sound or smell. Lifting her head suddenly at the sound of many walking straight to their cell. Crouching lower, and watching the door with such intensity, that the door would shrink back in fear.

The footsteps stopped though. They stopped right in front of their cell. A commanding, masculine voice then told everyone to stand back. That he was going to blow down the door. The four mutants in the cell moved to the corners farthest from the door, and covered their eyes. Knowing that something was going to happen, Rogue did the same.

The cell door was then blasted from its place and thrown into the opposite wall. A large group of mutants then moved in. A girl with brown hair, in a ponytail ran to greet the guy called Wolverine. All the others then moved in to embrace their found friends.

Rogue stared at them with envy. They don't know how lucky they. A faraway sound of the men that worked here brought her from her envious thought. The word revenge resonated through her brain. The thought of giving them a taste of their own medicine, gave Rogue a feeling of great joy.

Jumping from her spot in the shadows, Rogue landed right at the place were the door used to be. Everyone had stopped hugging one another, and stared at her.

A grin started to form on her face, " Hey thanks for mah key ta freedom. Now it seems Ah must go and have mah revenge." With a salute, Rogue turned to leave, but a thought crossed her mind.

" Oh and one more thing. If you try ta stop meh from doing what Ah'm goin' ta do, then Ah'm goin' ta have ta hurt ya in the process ta. This is yar warning. It ta repay ya for giving meh a way out." with a bow she gave one final saying, " Ah love ta chat, but Ah've got some men that need ta learn about respect. So bye-bye." After her speech, Rogue left to get her revenge.

The X-Men and Brotherhood just stood their watching her leave. When she was gone, Kitty turned to the four that were once prisoners here and asked in a shrill voice, " Like, who was that girl."

Everyone turned to stare at the four, waiting for an answer. Beast decided to answer with a swift reply, " All we know is that her name is Rogue and that she herself was a prisoner here. Now I suggest that we leave before we are captured once again."

Deciding that Beast was right, all of them left the room, to escape this place and to never return to it again. Encountering trouble from a couple of guards, they came to the room where they would leave this horrible prison. Before they went into the room though, Kitty let out a high-pitched scream.

Everyone turned to look at the cause, and what they saw was forever imprinted in their minds. Bodies of the guards lay throughout the long hallway. Death filled the air. Many had to turn away for it was to great for them to look at.

Wolverine turned from the horrific site, and barked at the group, " Everyone out of here now, and get into the plane."

No one questioned him. Moving as fast as they could to get away from what they had just scene. Wolverine was the last one to go, and silently whispered, " Why did ya do it Stripes?" Then left without looking back.

The X-Jet lifted into the air and left the place that was a prison and that now reeked of death. It turned into the direction of home, and flew with speed that was never seen before. What no one noticed was the unknown passenger that was sitting on the back of the plane, enjoying the air of freedom.

Sorry for not updating sooner. I kind of got caught in my other story, but don't worry more is to come. So enjoy!
