Hope ya enjoy, and sorry this is kinda later update than I wanted it to be. The next one hopefully will be up sooner
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in here, I've tried to buy them with the few pennies I have (okay so I tried to buy Gambit), but they laughed at me and said not in this lifetime. So until then I own nothing.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Bobby growled as ice appeared in his hands.
"Magneto sent us on a little mission. So when we were drawling from the hat, I got lucky. I was assigned to knock out frosty." John replied as he began to approach Bobby.
"Like that will happen in this lifetime. I knocked you out during training sessions. I can do it now." Bobby told him as he waited for John to attack, but the other man still hadn't.
"That was because we were under restriction. This time there is no one to say stop, no one to help you, and this time it is all real." Pyro said as a flame shot from his lighter and right at Bobby, who quickly dodged it.
"Haha, this is going to be so much fun." John laughed as he saw Bobby pick himself up.
"I am really not in the mood for this. I have better things to do than to waste my time on you." Iceman yelled at Pyro.
"What, like hang out with Rogue?" John smirked even further as he saw Bobby glare at him. "Let me guess, you guys are going through a tough time?" He asked as a flame left the lighter and traveled to his other hand.
"It's none of your business what is going on between me and Rogue. We maybe having a little problem right now, but we will soon be back to how we were before." Bobby shouted at Pyro. "Why don't you go back to your little hole with the Brotherhood and stay there!"
"Oh I am so hurt. I see you still need to work on your insults." John rolled his eyes at his ex-friend. "Rogue would be really stupid if she went back with you. Hm, maybe I should give her my number. The hairball is supposed to be getting her and the Cajun guy anyway." He stated.
"You leave her alone or I swear to god-" Bobby began to threaten him.
"You'll do what? Whine at me? Please, that is the only thing you are really good at. I'm surprised they even let you on the X-Men team." Pyro laughed at him as he shot the flame in his hand at Bobby, who immediately put up an ice wall. Unfortunately, the wall ended up melting and the flame hit Bobby, burning parts of his shirt.
"See what I mean? You don't stand a chance against me." Pyro smirked as he began to approach closer.
"How much you want to bet on that!" Bobby yelled as he froze Pyro's feet together.
"Oh, I'm shaking." Pyro said sarcastically as he flicked his lighter to produce another flame and sent it by his feet to melt the ice. "Come on, weren't you paying attention during science class? When you put fire near ice, it melts." He shouted as he sent another flame right at him.
Bobby tried to shield himself with ice, but it did not work. He was thrown up against the side of the cement wall of the hotel and knocked out cold. Pyro closed his lighter as he walked casually over to Iceman.
"Told ya." He smirked as he began to drag Bobby near the fire escape.
Inside the Hotel Room
"Y' really know how to ruin a good moment." Gambit grumbled as he eyed the hairy mutant in front of him. He cast a quick glance at Rogue. 'Can' let de chere fight with her arm like dat. Gotta end dis fight soon.' He thought to himself.
"Next time I'll make it up ta ya. Too bad there won't be one." Sabertooth growled as he lunged at Gambit and Rogue, claws extended in front of him.
Gambit blocked the attack with his bo staff and made sure that the claws came no where near him. He could smell Sabertooth's breath and gave a disgusted look. "Haven't y' ever heard of dental floss or gum?" Remy asked as he kicked the large mutant in the legs.
Sabertooth did not respond, he only growled again and slashed at the Cajun, who blocked the attack. "This might help." Rogue said as she handed him a scrape of paper she found on the floor.
"Merci, chere." He thanked her as he took it from her hand and quickly charged the paper. He threw it at Sabertooth who was about to attack them again. The paper exploded against Sabertooth's chest and sent him flying into the wall while smoke from the blast filled the room.
"What was in dat paper?" Remy asked as he waved the gas away from him with his hand.
"I'll have ta ask Jean, she was the one who bought it." Rogue answered. The smoke began to clear away and they saw the dent where Sabertooth had landed, but did not see him. "Where did he go?" She asked.
"Don' know, chere. Y' stay here." Gambit told her as he walked cautiously around the beds, his staff still in hand.
"Yer gonna pay, ya little punk!" Sabertooth shouted as he lunged at Gambit from behind the bed and slammed the Cajun into the wall. The bigger mutant ripped the staff out of Gambit's hand and threw it across the room. With his other hand he held the Cajun by his throat. "Too bad for you I got a healin' factor, otherwise ya would of blown me up." He smirked as he strengthened his grip as Remy wrapped his hands around Sabertooth's, trying to break free.
"Maybe this will shut ya up!" Rogue yelled as she snuck behind Sabertooth and touched his face with her bare hand. He released Gambit and was about to strike her when he felt himself grow weak.
Sabertooth fell onto of Gambit's feet, trapping the young Cajun. "Need help, sugah?" Rogue asked as she pushed Sabertooth off him. She then extended her hand to help him up.
"Merci, chere. Gambit'll have to find some way to make it up to y'." He smiled down at her. He noticed she raised a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes. "Y' alright?" He asked as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'll be fine in a minute. I see all his memories." She responded as she opened her eyes and looked at Remy. "He didn't come alone. We gotta get outta here before-" She began to say, but was cut off when Gambit's staff was lifted up from the floor.
"Dat ain' good." Remy commented as the metal from the bed post flew at Rogue and trapped her against the wall. Gambit was about to help her when his staff flew at him. The metal bent itself and trapped him as it flung him to the wall next to Rogue.
Suddenly the door opened and a figure walked in wearing a red cape and helmet. "Why it is such a pleasure to see you again, Rogue." Magneto said as he looked down at the girl.
"Feelin's ain't mutual." Rogue growled as she stared at the older mutant. Magneto chuckled as he turned to Gambit.
"You were quite tricky to hunt down." Magneto stated as he glanced down at Sabertooth. "But unfortunately, my friend, it comes to an end here." The bars the entrapped Remy and Rogue pulled away from the wall and began to float near Magneto.
Sabertooth slowly began to regain consciousness as he opened his eyes and looked around. He growled when he saw Gambit and Rogue. "Come on, we don't have all day." Magneto said to his lackey.
Sabertooth got to his feet and pulled out two needles. He walked over to Rogue and stuck it in her arm, being careful to avoid skin contact. "Y' son of a bitch, what did y' do to her!" Remy yelled as he struggled to get free. Rogue's eyes rolled back into her head as she went limp.
"No need to worry, Mr. LeBeau. She is just resting her eyes." Magneto smirked as Sabertooth did the same to Gambit, who followed Rogue into unconsciousness.
A Street Away From The Hotel
"Maybe we should go back to the hotel?" Jean asked Scott as she stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" He asked her, his voice filled with concern.
"Something doesn't feel right." She answered. They did not see Bobby smile at them from behind. The group heard a cracking noise come from a woman standing a few feet away. Her face was covered by the hood of her jacket. She continued to crack her knuckled until she looked in their direction. "Scott." Jean whispered.
"I know." He said as he stood in front of her. He remembered that noise all to well from when he and the Professor had gone to visit Magneto in his cell. "Bobby, do you think you can freeze her?" Cyclops asked, not bothering to turn around.
The woman pulled down her hood. Her eyes were silver as well as the rim of her noise and mouth. 'Our job is too easy.' Mystique thought to herself as she watched the couple get into battle position. "Sure thing." She answered in Bobby's voice. Luckily for her, Jean was unable to read her thoughts with the mental shields she put up.
Lady Deathstrike extended her long metallic nails as she approached them. Scott placed his hand on his sunglasses, getting ready to remove them when the opposing mutant came closer.
Lady Deathstrike stopped in her tracks and smirked at the couple. 'Scott, I don't like the looks of this. I think she has someone helping her.' Jean telepathically sent to Scott.
'I think you're right.' He said back to her as he removed his sunglasses and sent an optic blast at the Asian woman. Lady Deathstrike flipped out of the way and was about to jump in the air when Jean used her telekinesis to hold her in place.
'We have to get back to the hotel and warn-' Jean sent to him, but was unable to finish when she was struck in the back of the head by Mystique.
"Jean!" Scott shouted as he quickly put his sunglasses back on. He looked over at Mystique, who finally shifted back into her real self. "What do you want?" He growled as he kept a close to Jean's unconscious body.
"Haha, well when you do Magneto a favor, he rewards you with whatever you desire." He heard a familiar voice say. He turned to see Emma standing next to Lady Deathstrike with a pleasant smile across her face.
Scott looked at her in shock. "But you are friends with the Professor, how could you betray his trust?" He clenched his hand into a fist as the other went for his glasses.
"Sorry, darling. I'm sure Charles is a lovely man, but never met him." She smirked at Scott as she began to approach him. "I am sure you can tell me all about him later." She winked as Mystique struck him in the back of the head.
Scott fell to the ground right next to Jean. "Bring them." Emma ordered.
Back at the Hotel
Wolverine knocked down the door to the men's room. "No one's here." He growled as Ororo left his side and went to the women's room. She placed her hand on the knob and the door opened.
"Logan." Ororo called to her new boyfriend. She stepped inside as saw the room had been trashed. 'We're too late.' She thought to herself disappointedly.
Logan entered the room and smelled the air. "Sabertooth." He snarled as he recognized the scent right away. "He wasn't alone. Magneto was with him. We gotta go find them." Logan stated as he started for the door.
"Wait. We have to tell Jean, Scott, and Bobby where we are. They need to know what has happened." She stopped Logan in his tracks.
"Unless they've already been taken." He suggested to her.
"I pray to the goddess they are alright. I will leave a note in case they are out for a walk." She told him as she searched around for pen and paper.
'Rogue better be alright. Magneto got his hands on her once. I swear he does anythin' else ta her, he'll regret the day he was born.' Logan vowed to himself.
