Summary: AU- future fic, Kiotr, Rogan. Set in outer-space. Piotr Rasputin (Colossus) and Logan (Woverine)are the crew of the Space-Ship Spartan 5 (Piotr is captain and pilot, Logan is security/weapons officer). Jean Grey, Scott Summers (Cyclops), Marie (Rogue), Ororo Monroe (Storm), and Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) are the crew of another ship called X17. The Spartan 5 is a privateer ship (a legal pirate ship), from the planet Raavi. X17 is a training ship from Earth O (Earth Original, because 2 other planets have been named Earth 1, and New Earth.) Kitty is in training to be a communications and technology officer, Marie is a pilot in training. Jean, Scott, and Ororo are instructors.
Piotr and Logan's species is technologically and socially advanced but the brain chemistry and connections that control their 'love instinct' is considered primitive by other cultures. When they mate(mating is not just sex, it is sex combined with a bonding process/ritual; they can have sex but not be considered mating), they mate for life. (PS I am making all of this up... I know pretty much nothing about brain chemistry or structure.)
Spartan 5 captures X17 and takes Kitty and Marie hostage. Piotr and Logan both claim the girls as their property.
(((((((BREAK)))))))
On the bridge of the X17 Kitty was on the communication panel, Marie sat in the pilot's chair, while Scott, Ororo, and Jean monitored their progress from the teacher's terminals where they could intervene at any time.
"Sir, there is a ship on the radar. Should I hail?" Kitty looked up from her control panel and over at Scott in question.
"Go ahead." Scott sat down behind his own control panel and began to pay a bit more attention than he had been paying before.
Kitty read the electronic ID that popped up on her screen and began speaking into the microphone attached to her sleek headset that hooked over her ear. "Spartan 5, this is X17, we wish to communicate. Please respond, over."
Kitty lifted her hand to her ear piece as she waited for a response. "I'm not getting a signal sir, should I try to synchronize frequency?"
Scott gave the affirmative, and Kitty tapped at her screen-board. Her screen moved up to the main screen where everyone could see it and the small frequency bar in the corner changed quickly before settling on a number.
"Repeat, Spartan 5 this is X17, requesting contact, over." Kitty waited for a response before reporting. "Still nothing sir."
Marie drew their attention then, and her screen came up on the viewing window. "Mr. Summers, their ship is turning toward us." They could all see the other ship turning, thanks to the outboard viewing lens.
The Spartan 5 was a slightly smaller and sleeker ship than theirs. The X17 was a passenger transport and training ship. It was a bit large and bulky, much like the cruise liners of ancient times on Earth O. The Spartan 5 was more like a military vessel, made for speed and stealth.
Suddenly an electronic voice came over the communication line and sounded through the room. "X17, this is Spartan 5, we are moving into docking position for your requested contact, over."
"Cadet Marie, comply with the docking request, and move into position." Scott sat back in his chair, relaxing next to Jean. Ororo looked concerned and spoke in lowered tones with him while Marie moved the large ship into position. Then the computers onboard the two ships took over the delicate process of maneuvering into docking positions. The Spartan 5 was larger than the regular pods that docked with X17. The pods could just pull into the hanger, but the Spartan 5 was too big and both ships had to extend stabilizer arms and a docking passage that would connect in the middle.
Moments later the electronic voice came across again. "Docking is complete. We are coming aboard, over."
"Scott, I don't think this is a good idea. We have no idea who these people are!" Ororo was following Scott out of the Command Deck. Meanwhile Jean was ushering the students to follow. She and Marie left while Kitty stayed behind to close up some computer programs and to establish a more concrete communication connection.
A few minutes later an alert went off on Kitty's computer. There was a virus eating it's way through the X17's non-essential computer programs. Their weapons, tracking, and archives were being eaten away along with a few smaller programs. With a gasp Kitty shot out of her chair and down the hall, shouting as she got close to the docking area.
"MR.SUMMERS, MISS GREY, MISS MONROE! There is a virus eating our computer systems… It's a tra…" Kitty was cut off when she shot into the docking room, an arm around her waist cutting her off and knocking the breath out of her, before jerking her back against a hard body.
After catching her breath and looking around she finished in a soft and slightly pitiful voice, "It's a trap…"
Scott was lying in a heap near the door, Jean sitting next to him and trying to get him to wake up, something even Kitty knew was foolish. Ororo was standing next to Marie, her slim black arm around Marie's shoulders. There was a buff hairy man holding them at stun-point.
Looking up at the man who held her, a stunner pointed at her as well, she noticed something that they had in common. Both men had black hair. It was a silly thing to be thinking about, but it helped Kitty to concentrate on not freaking out.
The man who had Kitty captive made a motion to the man who had Ororo and Marie captive and the other man nodded. His gruff voice quickly told the two women to separate.
"I will not leave her. She is my student and it is my duty to look after her welfare." Ororo stood a little straighter and her chin came up as she stood up to the man.
Apparently the man didn't like her answer. In a split second the stunners turned on Ororo and Marie, then Kitty felt a small sting at her temple and she blacked out.
