Chapter 9:

Rogue, Nightcrawler and Anya ran hastily through the maze of metal hallways frantic to find an unknown mutant in need whoever it was they had to act fast so Rogue patched in her instructor and teammate telling them where they were heading. Anya was behind the older girl talking to Kurt and somewhat catching up after being forcibly pulled away from him. "I'm so glad youre okay Anya!" Kurt said as he huffed air in and out of his system. "I am glad that you are okay Kurt." She said back. "Ahem!" Rogue made an exagerated coughing sound after hearing the red girl-bat mutant's comment "Oh! You too Rogue!" She said quickly. "So what does Sinister want with you anyway?" Kurt asked while Rogue went back to contancting Logan and Scott for some reason the Goth was having trouble contacting them. "I think he's creating something- something with all the DNA he took from other me and other mutants." Anya responded.

The teens stopped and waited as Rogue checked for any sign of someone coming before turning the corner and continuing on trying to find some kind of map to find where the other captive/captives might be. "Hey kid! You there?" Called Logan on the other line of the communicator Rogue then whispered, "I'm here! Kurt and Anya are here too!" She said before rounding another corner. "Anya says that there's another mutant here, we're looking for a guide or a map where we can locate them." She informed.

In the opposite wing Wolverine growled to himself as he took in the info he was not going to let three teenagers get hurt looking for a mutant that may or may not be around. He finally snarled and said, "Don't do anything yet just wait for us in a secure location until we get there." He said. Rogue took a long pause on the other line before logan tried again, "Did ya here me kid?" He questioned. Suddenly there was a loud commotion from the communicator that left the canadian and his companionk a long pause on the other line before logan tried again, "Did ya here me kid?" He questioned. Suddenly there was a loud commotion from the communicator that left the canadian and his companion silent fo a minute. "Rogue! Come in!" Logan called out. There was still no answer from the teen girl and the communicator had gone to static. "Darn it!" He growled. "I'm going to get them, Cyclops you send for back up use the locator to find us once you get everyone's help." He snarled as he unsheathed his claws and ran off in the direction his locator took him.

Cyclops didnt have time to even rebut before Wolverine was running off down the hall. Whatever was going on it seemed to be a pretty bad situation for his friends, so he did as he was ordered and called for back up.

...

Rogue blinked her eyes opened as she groggily woke up from being dragged into that room. She and the two furry elf-like mutants were trying to respond to Logan about staying put until screaming was heard. It was coming from further down the hall like it was loud, and woeful like someone was being tourtured. Rogue new that it would probably be better to just wait for back up but she couldn't just leave someone to suffer. So she sprinted off to find the source with the other two following close behind. As they came to a large door Rogue haulted the two behind her when she noticed the door was wide opened.

The inside of the room was dark without any way to see into the blackened darkness of the area. This had 'Trap' written all over it and Rogue was wise enough to see that. She couldn't just serve up her friends and herself on the possibility that there was a person in need. The disgruntled goth pulled out her communicator and sought to request for back up, only to end up watching two metal appendages of some sort shot out from the dark room and pulled Kurt and Anya in. Just as they were dragged in Rogue was about to speak into the device until she felt something grab around her ankle and pull her in as well.

Now she was here chained up in the dark trying to adjust her eyes to the pitch blackness of her surroundings trying to find her missing friends. As tried to focus a deep male voice was heard from nowhere. "Do excuse the accomadations, It was a bit last minute but..." The voice trailed off as the white banged brunette groaned in tiredness and called out, "Kurt! Anya! You guys around?" Rogue called out ignoring the mysterious voice. "You won't be hearing from them for a while..." The voice was cut off by a young female Russian voice from close by in the room, "Rogue? Is that you?" Called Anya. "Or you...will." Said the voice confused. "Anya? Oh thank goodness your alright!" Called out the excitable German voice of Kurt. "Oh my goodness, Kurt I'm so glad you're okay!" Anya responded. "Alright why don't I get back to my taunt..." The disembodied voice was cut off by Rogue butting in. "Oh yes I'm perfectly fine just wonderful, thanks for ask'n." The frustrated brunette said sarcastically earning an apology from both teens."Sorry Rogue!" Kurt said. "Sorrry" Spoke Anya. "May I go back to..."

"Anyway what was that weird voice from earlier?" Kurt asked suddenly, and was answered by a beam of light coming on below him illuminating enough to see his adopted sister and friend/crush who were strung up by metal cuff beside him, but it was not lit up the whole room. Below them and underneath the light was a tall looking man with metalic skin, black short hair, and red eye looking up at them in annoyance. "You know it's considered bad manners to ignore your host." Said the cape barring mutant man. "Wait who are you?" Nightcrawler asked stupidly in genuine confusion. "Gee I don't know Kurt, could be Stan Lee [Rest his soul], or- It could be the flipping bad guy!" Rogue shouted. "Whoa Rouge calm down!" Kurt said. "Sorry I'm just...It has not been a very ideal day for me." Rogue apologized. "I was nearly experimented on. How do you think I feel?" Anya said.

"Enough" erupted the man revealed to be Dr. Sinister. He soon pressed a button on a controller and lit up the whole room. "Honestly it's as if you brats are ignoring your situation on purpose! Like the plot line of a comedy romance fanfiction." Sinister muttered loudly. "Hey no breaking the fourth wall!" Kurt yelled in offense. "What do want with Anya anyway?" Rogue demanded. "Ah but it is not just her DNA that I need my child, It's young Wangner's DNA that I need as well." This shocked the teens. "My DNA? But why?" questioned the blue mutant as he fought against his restraints. Sinister then pressed the button on a remote which was pointed at a metal appendage that held a syringe full of some kind of green substance. The needle was then plunged into her jugular before she was suddenly in horrible pain and dropped to the ground from her shackles.

She began to writhe in angony as her fur changed color from red to the same green as the liquid that went into her, she grew until her head could reach the ceiling, large pearly fangs, protruding from her top jaw, and her eyes were "Say hello to my latest project. Subject 6308A otherwise known as your dear friend Anya." Sinister revealed. "What have you done to her?" Rogue questioned disbelieving of what she was witnessing. She couldn't really say for sure that poor Anya was now a monster, it depended on how Sinister altered her genetic make up and if he had given her sentient qualities or not.

Sinister smirked at Rogue's question then said, "I inhanced her gentic structure by combining her and Mr. Wagner's DNA with a few other component. I think she came out quite nicely though I think she could use a test run and you three make the perfect lab rats." The mad doctor said before pressing another button and bathing the room in blinking red light and drowning every sound in the loud earsplitting sound of an alarm going off. Sinister was descended from the floor as it turned into a elavetor and took him down below the level of the chamber.

After the floor was restored the metal shackles released the remaining teens and let them fall to the ground and land on their feet. "Um...did we just get locked in?" Asked Kurt as he quivered with fear. "You've been ask'n alot of stupid questions today." Rogue said bluntly as she darted her eyes toward her adopted brother. "Hey I am jsut as stessed out about this day as you are, that's just my way of dealing with it!" Kurt rebutted, Just as the two had started bickering again the mutant experiment they once called Anya had opened an eye, bright yellow irises with focused constricted pupils looking at both of them with grizzly intent.

The two teens had simultaneously felt that they were being watch, thus they all looked over to see the goliath mutant looking right at them and prowling forward like a cat stalking its prey, her large bat-like wings were now on her back and an impish tail that swished side to side eagerly as she closed in on them. They got ready to dodge when when Anya finally launched forward and sought to grab one of the X-Men teens: Kurt teleported himself, and Rogue did a quick tumble roll away. Pretty soon the now mosterous Anya was slashing and striking at every angle whenever when ever she saw one of them doing well in following her directive to kill on sight.

...

In the monitor room Sinister stood arms crossed watching in amusement as the three teen tried to escape and evade his glorious creations attacks. It was so satisfying to see Anya doing exactly what he had intended now he just needed to find where there might be any kinks in her killing tactic or if her ability to follow orders would be sloppy at any point in her persuit. He studied the scene until the door to his room was slashed through and kicked down viciously by a very angry Wolverine in tow he had Cyclops, Storm, and Beast while Gambit and Jean went to help out Rogue, Kurt, and Anya, and Kitty was stationed to stay behind with the escaped mutants. With the odds in their favor it was a sure win and Logan was ready to deliver a good maiming on the psychotic doctor for all the pain and headache he'd caused today.

"Ya got two choices bub." Wolverine started in a gruff growl. "It's either slow painful or a quick and painful, your pick!" He roared as he flashed his shiny metal claws. Sinister was not phased in the slightest he simple shook his head, and declared "Always the violent one aren't you Wolverine?" He then summoned his metal appendages forward to smite the mutant heros only to end up being dodged or blasted by one of Cyclops' eye beams, or Storm's lightning strikes which short circuited the machines and Beast tore at them ferociously while Wolverine did what he himself did best: Slash everything in his path until there was nothing left to tear away.

Sinister made his clever escape through a secret exit though he didn't notice that Logan was right on his tail.

...

Jean and Gambit looked around frantically as they followed the locator's directions to find the others. Gambit was especially worried about Rogue and he was determined to find his cherie and blow up anything to get to her. They ran around several corners and passed many doors all of which did not contain the three of their friends. "It might be this one up a head!" Jean sai as she followed the tracker on the screen and it was right. They came upon the same large door that Rogue and the two fur covered mutants had found earlier except this time it was closed shut and yo could hear the loud shrills of the mutnat experiment inside thumping around as it chased them and the sounds of Kurt freaking out.

"Guys it's Jean and Gambit! Are you guys alright, what's happening?" Jean called out loud, since her telepathy could reach them beyond the door Sinister must've made the room telepath-proof, "Cherie! are you in there?" Gambit called. "Nice to know that you're worried about the rest of us, Gambit!" Kurt yelled through the door. "Now you know how I feel!" Rogue said just after a large outward dent was made on the door. "I'm trying to teleport us out of here but Anya keeps striking at us!" The German teen yelled. Jean was confused though, "Anya?" She asked, she was answered when a large green claw came ripping down through the door and scratched slow downward scarring the door with a loud screech that nearly deafened the two older X-Men. After the agonizing sounds were ceased the two looked up just as the claw was retracted only to be met with a single huge yellow looking directly at them with malice pupils constricted as it focused on them closely then suddenly as soon as it had come it was gone and the sounds of distress continued again.

Jean and Gambit continued their long and shocked stare at the door as if they were in a scene from Jurassic Park.

Inside Rogue and Kurt were still unable to get away from Anya in her new monsterous form as she slammed her hand down every which way she could reach. Finally she was able to catch hold of Kurt as she pulled him up to her eye level. She beared her large sharp fangs as if she was getting ready to bite down on him. "Kurt!" Rogue yelled. "Anya! Please don't you remember me?" He tried desperately not just to save his own life but to get the sweet wonderful Anya he knew back before she became lost for good. The green goliath growled intently narrowing her eyes as she got ready to cause pain. "Anya look I don't know if you're still in there or not but if you are I just wanted you to know that..." Rogue cut him off, "Kurt I don't think this is the time!" She said. Kurt ignored her and continued, "Anya I was looking for you so I could give you this." He said pulling out the white envelope containing his love letter from earlier on.

"I wrote you a letter for Valentine's day, it's pretty mushy and stuff but relatively what it says is that I'd like to be your Valentine." Anya seemed to soften her expression to one of confusion then shock as Kurt continued on, "You're not a monster like what Sinister has turned you into, or like how those people in Paris treated you! You're funny and kind, and you're really reliable as a friend and I really like you even if we've technically only known each other for one day." The green furred creature covered her mouth in awe and began to tear up at Kurt's words as if she was touched.

Rogue was starring in disbelief as the beastly creature that attacked them a few minutes ago was becoming the lovestruck teen girl she once was. After a shake of her head the old Anya could be heard could be heard in the monster mutant's voice, "K-Kurt?" She asked before gently putting the blue furred boy down and sitting back on her haunches. "It's okay Anya we'll get you back to normal! And even if we can't I'm still here for you." Kurt promised with teary eyes looking up to her.

Rogue was in disbelief at what had just happened, "You've got to be kidding me." She said aloud to herself. Suddenly the chamber door exploded and Gambit came rushing in with Jean following close behind. They looked ready for a fight until they realized that The creature was now more docile much like the old Anya they new. "Uh...What happened here?" Jean questioned. She was unanswered as Gambit ran over to embrace Rogue, but was met with a quick dodge of the southern goth. Jean looked up to Anya with pity and said, "Oh Anya. Come on let's get you out of here so we can fix this." She said as she held out a hand to the poor girl. Anya's hand was too big now so she offered the tip of her claw as she smiled back.

...

Meanwhile Sinister had just made it to an escape aircraft in the basement of his lab and he had just gotten into it but before he could turn on the thruster the side of the small carrier was ripped up by metal claws then torn away like paper off a package. He was pulled out with little to no effort and held in place by his suit as Wolverine snarled at him angrily as if he was telling him to say his prayers, however he settled on last words instead. "I regret nothing." He said before Wolverine put him out with a powerful punch to the face.

...

Back at the Mansion Kurt waited outside of Hank's lab with a bated breath awaiting the results of Anya's condition. After subduing Sinister and destroying his lab the X-Men had Rogue obtain some information from him in hopes of finding away to reverse the affects of the serum that enhanced her mutation hopefully what was gathered was enough to do the trick. The didn't use telepathy since Sinister is a master of concealing his mind and all of its secrets even in an semi unconscious state any information from that could be fabricated so Rogue's ability was more likely to get the proper results. After all of that the base was check thoroughly one last time before to make sure there weren't anymore captives, a few more were found in the sub levels of the base and rescued, some even suffered the same enhancement of their mutation as Anya and Charles hoped they could all be helped.

Every mutant who was effected by the serum was reverted back to how they were before, all accept Anya who was still under observation while waiting for the cure to kick in. Kurt was the most restless of everyone, he rocked himself back and fourth in fear and hope, he wanted to see Anya soon and right now the suspense was killing him. "Calm down you little blue idiot Anya's gonna be fine." Rogue said as she put down the book she was reading. "I'm sorry it's just- what if it doesn't work on her like it did the others. I'd hate to see her upset over something like what Sinister did to her." He explained. "Come on give the girl some credit, she was strong enough to fight off a mind altering mutation enhancement serum and you don't think she can handle being a giant green fuzz ball?" Rogue responded with a roll of her eyes. "Guess I should just be supportive huh?" He asked knowing the answer. "Bingo! Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and avoid Gambit before he ends up roping me into anymore Valentine romances." She said before heading off somewhere just as the aforementioned cajun showed up, "Have seen Rogue." Kurt smiled and pointed a thumb toward the direction his adopted sister went- hey he owed him one after helping with his love letter. "Thank you sir." The smooth talker said before heading off where he was told.

Rogue's outbursts of rage and annoyance could be heard shortly after Gambit had left leaving Kurt to sit in silence for another few minutes before Hank called out to him. "Kurt!" He said calmly. Kurt looked up with hopeful eyes as the older blue furred mutant smiled warmly. "How is she Hank?" He asked frantically. The scientist chuckled and told the teen, "She's going to be fine she was resting for the most part but she's awake now and she wants to see you." Kurt blushed under his fur as the older male directed him inside.

Anya was sitting in one of the medical beds fidgeting with her blanket as she waited for Kurt to show up. She wanted to talk to him mostly apologize for nearly killing or so that was her excuse she really just wanted to see him again and maybe talk to him. Soon her thoughts were interrupted by Hank calling to her, "Anya Kurt's here!" She jumped at that statement as she looked to the two blue furred males, more specifically at the younger. "Dr. McCoy you don't have to announce my arrival like that." He said shyly like he was embarrassed. "Okay, I'll be right outside. You kids have your talk." He said playfully like a meddling parent. Once he was gone two just stared around the room awkwardly trying to think of something to say. Kurt finally gulped and spoke, "Umm...So how- how are you feeling?" He asked. "Oh! I'm fine...you?" Anya responded. Awkward silence again filled the room before Kurt decided to take the plunge. "Do you remember anything from when your mutation was enhanced?" He questions half hoping her answer was no. "Cause if you don't it's fine really! I mean..." Before he could say anything else Anya cut him off, "I do! I remember what you said- because what you told me helped my mind fight the effects of the serum...Did you mean what you said?" She asked hopefully. Kurt could feel his throat dry up as he felt his face heat up like a furnace.

He hesitantly pulled out the letter he wrote for Anya and cautiously walked over to her and handed it to her. "Yeah I did...I really like you- and even if you don't like me back I'll still be your friend, always." Kurt said with a crooked smile. Anya was speechless. She looked at the letter then to the blue Nightcrawler then without hesitation she launched up and hugged him tightly by the neck. "I really like you two." She whispered. Kurt slowly hugged the red imp like girl back and marveled in pure bliss that he had finally claimed his valentine.

The two continued with their moment as well as the other student in mansion who had their own valentines to call their own. "Oh cherie!" Called a suave cajun voice from within the Xavier mansion, "Get lost LeBeau!" Called out the fiery southern goth.

Everyone got their valentines...more or less.
