Chapter 14- Capture
Rogue flew across the mansion grounds, looking down at the battlefield. The X-men were being pushed back towards the mansion by the other mutants. However, Rogue's mind wasn't on the fight but what was said earlier.
"Isn't that the girl he wants?"
Suddenly some pieces of metal lifted from the ground and flew towards Rogue. They writhed and lifted from the ground. Rogue flew higher to try and avoid them. Instead of leaving her alone, they followed her. No matter what she did she couldn't out fly them.
Rogue dove straight down and pulled out of the dive at the very last second. The pieces of metal ended up stuck in the ground. She smirked in triumph at the pieces of metal. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, another piece of metal wrapped itself around her, pinning her arms to her sides. No matter how she struggled she couldn't get herself free. Another piece wrapped itself around her legs so she was helpless. Not even her super strength could break the metal.
"Chere!"
Rogue turned her head to see Gambit running towards her as fast as he could.
"Hold on petit! Remy's comin'."
"Remy!"
Before she could say anything more she was pulled away by an invisible force. Rogue watched helplessly as Gambit tried to reach her, only to be stopped by other mutants. She saw Storm fly towards her. In her hurry, Storm never saw the tree trunk thrown at her by Sabretooth. It collided with her with a sickening crunch. Tears streamed down her face as she saw Storm fall to the ground. That was the last thing she saw as something hit her head and knocked her unconscious.
