Chapter 15-Refusal
Rogue woke up in a small cell. The walls were made of stone and there were no windows. The only light filtered through the small opening under the door. Otherwise the cell was bathed in complete darkness. Rogue could barely see her hand in front of her face. She felt her way around the small room but encountered nothing but stone.
A creak was heard followed by voices outside her cell. Rogue tried to make out what they were saying but the voices were muffled. She tried pressing her ear to the door but there was no way to hear what they were saying. Thinking of an alternative, Rogue knelt on the floor and peered underneath the door. All she could see were two pairs of boots; one silver and the others were big and black.
"Where am I?" she murmured.
The door handle rattled, startling Rogue out of her thoughts. She jumped back in surprise and waited for the door to open. Her idea was to attack anyone who came in and force them to lead her out of wherever she was under the threat of her absorbing them. She didn't want to use her super strength to break out in case she was underground. If she simply started breaking down walls, everything might collapse.
The door swung open and a silver blur swept past her before she could blink. As soon as the blur disappeared the door swung shut again.
Rogue began to notice a cold feeling on her arms. She looked down to see that her gloves had vanished. Rogue dropped to the floor and began to search for them. She scanned every inch of the cell but couldn't find them. She came to the conclusion that whatever the silver blur was, it must have somehow taken them from her.
All of a sudden the door opened again and in walked Magneto. Several bands of metal followed him and threw themselves at Rogue. The force of impact threw her in to the wall. No matter how hard she struggled she couldn't get them to break.
"It's nice for you to join us," Magneto said.
"What the hell do you want?" Rogue snarled.
Now need to be so touchy." Magneto stepped closer. "I've come to offer you something."
"Whatever it is ah ain't interested."
"I'm offering you power beyond your wildest dreams."
"Forget it!" she spat.
"Very well," he sighed. "I was hoping it wasn't going to come to this but…"
At that moment, Emma Frost and Sabretooth entered the room and Sabretooth was dragging something behind him.
