Chapter Twenty-two

Rogue looked at Mystique and at the others with hate in her eyes. Remy was looking around the place, trying not to look at them; and Ben and Greg were whispering to each other.

"The x-men will stop you," Rogue said.

"You really think they even know where we are?" Magneto asked, holding his team back awhile longer.

"They know," Rogue said," I know they do."

Magneto gave a small smile, but walked off, leaving his team to deal with them. They moved a little bit closer.

"Stay back," Rogue yelled.

"What will you do about it?" Mystique asked," You're tied up and can't use your power."

"Who said I'd use mine," Rogue said as her eyes went red.

Sabretooth picked up a stick, which he quickly droped.

"That was hot," Sabretooth said, just as the stick started to burn.

The ropes around Ben and Greg had burnt off, thanks to Ben. He quickly created a wall of fire to block them from the others. Greg had cut the ropes off of Remy and Rogue.

"We need a way out of here," Ben said, as the fire began to go out." I can't keep the wall up forever."

Just then Toad jumpped over the wall of fire with an evil grin.

"You think that can stop me?" Toad asked," Think again."

Just then a red blast hit Toad, who went flying backward into a wall. The four looked over to see a man with visors, known as Scott; a girl with red hair, Jean; one with white, Storm; and another with blue skin, pointed ears, yellow eyes, and a tail, known as Kurt. Sabretooth quickly went to attack them, but Scott blasted him with his eyes. Storm made some rain to put out the fire that was blocking them. Jean was too busy with Mystique she didn't even notice that the four were running out of the place.

"We are here to help," Scott called after them.

Scott, Kurt, Storm, and Jean quickly backed out of the cave. Storm used her power to make a wall of ice, which Greg thought was kind of cool. The four turned to face the kids.

"We've been looking everywhere for you," Storm said, looking at Rogue.

"I told them you would show up," Rogue said, as they headed to the jet, which Scott had hid behind some trees.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked.

"I'm fine," Rogue said, as they boarded the jet.

"Vell," Kurt said," Then vhy are your eyes red?"

"They are still red?" Rogue asked.

Jean pulled a mirror out of her pocket and handed it to Rogue, who looked very closely at her eyes, which were red. Rogue gave a small moan. Remy walked over to her and took the mirror away from her.

"T'ey look fine," Remy said with a smile." I like dem t'at way."

"Because your eyes are red," Rogue snapped, sitting down next to Storm and folding her arms.

Remy looked at her for awhile, before sitting down next to Greg, who was reading a book he had found on the ground. Remy looked at the book to see that it was written by hand.

"Where did you get t'at?" Remy asked, taking the book away from Greg.

"Found it on the floor," Greg said," It has the name Marie in the front."

Remy flipped a few pages and started to read, but didn't read aloud.

It has been a very tough day. The brotherhood was at it again. I don't see why they don't join us and help us become friends with the normal people. I can still feel Logan's healing factor and I don't know if it will ever go away. Part of him is still with me and I wish he would of never left. It's been a little lonely around here since he has been gone.

Remy closed the book and looked at Rogue, who was talking to Storm and Jean.' She just needs someone to be her friend,' Remy thought,' I'll stay wit' dem. T'at should make her happy.' Remy gave a small smile just thinking how much fun he would have if he stayed with her.

A/N: Yay, I fianlly update. Yes, the x-men save them. Anyway I'll try to update sooner and please review.
