X-2
Chapter 7
"Home Invasion"
The entire school was being overrun, some of the students made it out, Bobby and John continued running through the halls looking for Rogue and Kitty. John could hardly breath, and almost tumbled to the ground. Bobby noticed his best friend was acting a little weird but their minds were focused on their girlfriends. AS soon as John and Bobby turned the corner they found Rogue, dazed and confused.
"Rogue!" Bobby shouted.
"Bobby!" The two closed in together drawing in for a hug but she stopped herself because she wasn't wearing her gloves. John was out of breath and the entire room was getting dizzy. He fell to the ground.
"John?!" Bobby kneeled beside him, "You okay?" He asked. John shook himself out of his daze and saw a figure jump out of a wall.
"Kitty!" He shouted trying to get her attention. She flipped around and her eyes widened with joy, she full run sprinted to him and they embraced.
"Oh my god John! These guys came into my room, and I phased down to you but you weren't there..." Kitty cried, frightened and clinging onto John.
"It's ok, Kitten... Your fine now." He assured. Before their reunion went any further John can see soldiers outside a window. The window blew inwards from an explosion startling them. John and Bobby gripped their lovers and bolted back down the halls. Helicopters were being heard outside the mansion, more and more soldiers were overrunning the grounds. John held Kitty's hand tight trying not to let go as they ran for their lives. The four went into the entrance hall, the front doors were suddenly kicked in and more soldiers aimed their weapons. Pyro readied his lighter, but all the sudden Wolverine came from above slashing at the soldiers with his claws killing them. The claws retracted into his hands.
"Let's go." He ordered, Wolverine led them to the front door. As soon as it was opened there was no where to go with all them soldiers and searchlights on the grounds. Logan decided to lead them through the secret passageways running underneath the school. Logan decided to stay behind and hold back their pursuers.
"Wait you guys! They're gonna kill him!" Rogue cried.
"He can handle himself, lets go!" John argued. But Rogue pleaded for Bobby to help her get Logan back, which of course he does leaving Kitty and John to wait until they get back. John felt a surge of pain go through his chest, he moaned as he clutched his chest. Kitty was worried about him at this point, she clinched to him to give John a sense of comfort other than the pain.
"John? Are you ok?" She cried. John didn't want to lie to her, how could he? He loves Kitty so much to break this kind of news to her. Before he was able to speak, Logan, Rogue, and Bobby returned and they all pressed on, down the tunnel. They came to a Cyclops garage, and took one of his cars. A Mazda Rx8
"I'll drive!" John said. But Wolverine pushed him back,
"Maybe next time." He said. Kitty opened the back passenger door and sat inside next to her and Bobby with Rogue riding shotgun.
"This is Cyclops's car." Bobby said,
"Oh, yeah?" Logan said unleashing a single claw, to jimmy the ignition. Logan already stole Cyclops's bike now his car, which Wolverine seemed not to care. Wolverine hit the gas and rode on out of there leaving the school behind. Not knowing what happened to the students, and with only hope some of them made it out.
Pyro's POV
Logan was pretty much the best damn driver I've ever seen, but maybe that was because of his heightened senses and reflexes. I turned over to Kitty who was leaning up against me curled into a ball, frightened on what just happened. I held her close and kissed her on the head to help calm her down, it didn't make sense to me on why the school was attacked.
"What the hell was that back there?" I asked Logan.
"Stryker. His name is Stryker." He said with iron in his voice.
"Who is he?" Rogue asked.
"I can't remember." he whispered. I knew Logan was suffering from amnesia, that's what Rogue told us. But I got the feeling that we were put in danger because of him, the way he said Stryker's name seemed that way. The entire car was quiet, the only downside was it was really awkward.
"I don't like uncomfortable silences." I said trying to turn on the radio, little did I know was left on full blast. Shit Summers! I pressed a random button to revel a strange looking device pop out of the radio. "I don't think that's the cd player." I said. Logan picked up the device, it looked like a communicator of some sort but I shifted my focus to Kitty. "Are you okay?" I asked, no answer. She fell asleep on my lap, I began stoking her hair helping her go deeper into her much needed slumber while we headed to Boston where Dr. Gray and Storm are. Bobby recommended on going to his parents house first. I get to sit uncomfortably with my girlfriend laying on my lap for hours, not to mention the pain I keep getting in my chest that comes and goes. I sat staring at my precious lighter looking at the shark decals refusing to flick the cap on and off trying not to wake Kitty. This was gonna be a long ride.
New chapters are still going to be posted daily, I got a lot of free time these days so don't worry about delays. Anyway, Review!
