Sorry, this chapter seemed a bit off when I was writing it. Hopefully it didn't turn out as bad as I think it did.
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 hit moi?" Remy asked as he returned from unconsciousness. The first thing he saw was a metal door in front of him. He tried to move his hands, but found them tied together behind the chair he was sitting in. 'Gambit really need to find other places to vacation at.' He thought to himself as the metal door opened.
"I see you have finally awoken, good." Remy recognized the man from the hotel, who was still wearing the exact same thing. "I'm sure you already know of why you are here." Magneto began.
"Not really, also don' really care what it is y' say." Gambit answered as he glared at the older mutant.
"Now isn't that a bit rude? I wanted to make you an offer, but now I will have to take that away and have what I want done by force." Magneto said as he snapped his fingers. The metal door opened and Sabertooth walked into the room with Rogue. The large mutant had his hand covering Rogue's mouth.
"Y' let her go!" Gambit yelled at Magneto as he tried to free himself from his restraints, but was unable to.
"Oh, I will. If you do what I want." Magneto told the younger man as he walked over to Rogue.
"I've seen a lot of sick things in my time, but usin' a defenseless fille to get what y' want just made de top." Remy growled.
"Well I can always kill her since you don't seem to want to agree with my terms." Magneto smirked.
"Non, let her go. What do y' want done?" Remy asked as he watched the older mutant approach him. He cast a side glance at Rogue, who was watching them.
"There is a government building in New Mexico I want you to break into. I want you to download their files and bring them to me. Once the job is complete, I had originally planned to pay you and maybe making you a part of my team. But now I will let the girl and the others go if you do the job well." Magneto ordered.
"How do I know y' will let dem go? Y' could be makin' it up." Remy stated as Magneto folded his arms over his chest.
"I am a man of my word." Magneto responded to the younger mutant. He opened his mouth to say something else, when they heard a loud banging from outside. "Sabertooth, place the girl in her cell and keep an eye on him. I will go see what is going on."
Jean woke up on the cold cement ground. She looked up to find herself in a room with bars covering the exit. Across from her prison, she could see Scott had regain consciousness and was sitting against the wall.
"Are you alright?" Scott asked her in a worried voice.
"Yes, I'm fine. " She told him as she sat up and looked around. "I'm guessing this is Magneto's base, but where is it?" Jean asked her boyfriend.
"I have no idea. So far only Mystique and Pyro have passed by here. Neither of them said anything." He answered her.
"What about the others?" She asked him.
"I don't think Logan is here. We would of heard him by now. I'm not sure Storm is here. I think Bobby, Rogue, and Gambit might be here, but I don't know for sure." He responded as he placed his hand on the collar around his neck that was beeping.
Jean raised her hand to her own neck and found an identical collar around here as well. "I remember the Professor talking about collars that could turn off a mutants powers, I'm guessing these are it." She commented as she leaned against the wall. They couple heard the door open and close.
"Aw, isn't this cute." They heard a female voice say as Emma stepped into view. "Well I'm sure I could arrange for you to be free." The blonde said to Scott and then turned her gaze to Jean. "But as for you, darling, I don't think it is possible. But no need to worry, I'll take good care of him." Emma smiled as she saw Jean get up and walk to the bars.
"Not in this lifetime, if Jean is staying here then so am I." Scott shouted at Emma as he got to his feet as well.
Emma rolled her eyes as she glared at Scott. "I can offer you much more than she could ever in a lifetime. What does she have that I don't?" Emma yelled.
"You're just wasting your time on me. You can say whatever you want, but my heart will always belong to Jean." Scott answered her.
Emma turned back to Jean and approached the bars. "I must say, you are a very good manipulator. Even after your powers have been turned off you can still control him."
"I'm not controlling him. It's something called love. I'm sure you have never heard of it before." Jean shot back at her. 'Come a little closer.' Jean thought to herself as Emma continued approaching until she was face to face with Jean, the bars the only thing that was separating them. Jean had caught a glimpse earlier of a key hanging out of Emma's pocket, while the blond had her attention on Scott.
"Please, why would any man ever want you over me? I'm beautiful, rich, and have a-" Emma began to say when Jean punched her in the nose.
"I'm really sick of hearing you talk." Jean said as she held the key in her hand and unlocked the collar.
"No!" Emma screamed as the collar dropped to Jean's feet. The redhead raised her hand and sent Emma into the bars.
"If you are smart, you will release us and leave us alone." Jean warned the other woman as she released the blond from her telekinesis hold. "You won't make it out the door, so don't try to run."
Emma got to her feet and walked over to the table where the keys to the cells were located. She stopped for a moment as she looked at the door. 'Magneto, the prisoners are trying to escape.' Emma sent to Magneto, unfortunately for her, Jean heard the call.
Jean raised her hand and bent the bars with her telekinesis. "I warned you not to try anything." Jean said as she walked out of the cell and lifted Emma, who dropped the keys. She then threw the blond woman into the cell and bent the bars straight again.
"You can't do this!" Emma shouted as she got to her feet. Jean had freed Scott from the cell and the collar.
"Are you alright?" Jean asked Scott as they began walking towards the exit.
"Never better." He answered as he wrapped an arm around her waist, both of them ignoring Emma's angry yells.
Bobby sat alone in his cell. The only person that had come into the room was Pyro, who enjoyed taunting him. He heard the door squeak open. 'I swear, once I get this collar off I'm going to make you eat your own words.' Bobby thought as a person approached his cell. He had been expecting to find John there, but instead found Rogue.
"Rogue! Thank god you're alright. You gotta get me out of here before they come back." He yelled to her. She grabbed the key that was hanging on the opposite wall and entered his cell.
"Glad ta see ya are alright, sugah." She told him as she walked up to him and hugged him.
"How did you get away from them?" Bobby asked her as he hugged her back. He never thought she would want to be anywhere near him again.
"They placed meh back inta mah cell. They didn't know Ah took the key with meh when they weren't lookin'." She answered.
"Let's get out of here." He told her as he took her by the hand. "I'm sorry what I did to you. You're the only person I've ever loved, can you forgive me?" He asked her.
"Of course, sugah. Ya didn't think Ah really loved that swamp rat, did ya?" Rogue answered as she kissed him.
"I thought you didn't. I knew you had more brains than that." Bobby said as they broke out of their kiss.
Rogue smiled at him. "It's too bad y' don', mon ami." Came from Rogue. Bobby yanked his hand away from her as she shifted into Gambit. "Guess y'r de jealous ex-boyfriend, no?"
"What the hell?" Bobby began backing away until he reached the wall. Gambit then morphed into Mystique.
"Pyro was right, messing with you is fun." She laughed at him, until she heard an SNIKT behind her. She turned around to find Wolverine standing behind her.
"Ya really do have some major problems, don'tcha lady?" Logan growled as he lunged at Mystique unsuspectedly and knocked her into the wall and unconscious.
"Thanks Logan." Bobby said as he looked down at Mystique.
"Let's just get outta here. Don't think I've forgotten whatcha did to Rogue either." He told the younger man in a low voice.
Storm walked cautiously through the hallway. She had told Logan she would be find by herself and thought it would be best if they split up to look for their teammates. She opened a door and found a cell room.
"Storm?" She heard Rogue's voice say. She saw the younger woman stand up and walk to the front of her cell.
"Thank goddess. You are alright, child. Do you know where the key is?" Ororo asked her.
"Sabertooth took it with him when he left. Ya gotta get meh outta here, who knows how long before Magneto comes back." She told Ororo, who nodded.
"Stand back." She instructed Rogue, who went to the far corner of the room. Storm's eyes began to glow white as gusts of wind entered the room and swept around the bars. Rogue held onto a pipe that was near her to keep her from flying around the room. The bars to her cell began to bend enough for Rogue to crawl out.
"Thanks Storm." Rogue said with a grateful smile. "Did ya find the others?" She asked.
"Logan went to find them." Ororo answered her.
"I gotta go help Remy, if ya can find the others and help them." Rogue told her as she ran the other direction and exited the room.
"Rogue wait!" Storm called, but the younger girl was already gone.
"Have y' ever tried gettin' a hair cut?" Remy asked Sabertooth, who was annoyed with the young Cajun.
"I swear, you say one more word and Magneto won't find any trace of your body." He snarled.
"What? It be a simple question, non?" Gambit said to him with a smirk on his face.
"That's it. I'm shut you up for good." Sabertooth growled as he approached Gambit. The bigger mutant raised his claws in the air and was about to hit Remy, when he was kicked in the legs.
"Aw, better luck next time, mon ami." Gambit grinned as he finished releasing his hands and jumped out of the chair.
"Yer gonna pay fer that ya little punk!" Sabertooth shouted as he ran at Remy, who quickly dodged the bigger mutant. They didn't hear the door open and Rogue enter.
Sabertooth snarled, no one got away from him and lived to tell about it. Those who did he swore would pay in the future. "First I'm gonna rip yer insides out, then I'm gonna go find that little girl and do that same to her." He smirked seeing the angry expression of Gambit's face.
"Well den, guess I gotta put y' down for a nap, M'sieur Kitty-Cat." Remy said as he found a few stones on the ground and had picked them up. As Sabertooth charged at him again, he threw the charged pebbles at him. However, it did not stop Sabertooth, who ignored the pain and continued charging at Remy.
"Merde, dis ain' good." Remy commented to himself as he took a step back just as Sabertooth grabbed him. The bigger mutant had planned on pinning the Cajun to the wall and clawing at him, but he miscalculated and was heading for a window. Before he had time to stop, they both went through the window.
"NO!" Rogue yelled as she rushed to the broken window and looked down. She saw a large splash in the water below. "REMY!" She screamed.
