Chapter 9: Taken
Lilly and Remy become surrounded by armed men, several yards away from the mansion. The music is loud enough that it drowns out the sound of the propellers from the helicopters. Lilly and Remy stand together, with their backs pressed against each other. Remy takes some cards out of his pockets and lights them up, throwing them at several of the men charging towards them. Lilly grows large vines out of the ground, making them grab the men and then throwing them away. Then all of a sudden, a new group came out of the helicopters towards Lilly and Remy. They were bizarre looking and seemed to have powers similar to mutants, except that they looked half human and half robotic. They hit Lilly in the arm with a laser, and she yelled out in pain, but continued to fight. Remy continued his assault as well.
Lilly fell to her knees, dizzy and weak. She had already exerted too much of her energy, first when her fire went crazy, and then during the first part of the fight.
"Lilly. You okay?" Remy asked.
"My sight has gone all fuzzy," Lilly whispered.
The men from the first round came running at Remy and Lilly again, attacking and shooting at them. Remy continues to dodge, using more and more cards to send explosives towards the armed men. The boss sneaks past him, using skills that Remy did not know a non-mutant could possess. The boss of the armed men hit Remy really hard in the back of the neck with his forearm, knocking Remy unconscious. He then moved towards Lilly, grabbing her arm and injecting her with some sort of clear liquid. Lilly lost consciousness.
Jean, Scott, Ororo and Rogue run outside after hearing the commotion, to see Remy and Lilly lifted onto the helicopters, and the helicopters flying away. The small group goes to Xavier and Hank who are in Hank's lab looking at some of the experiments Hank had been performing.
"Professor, they've taken Remy and Lilly," Scott said matter of factly. Xavier looked up, a grim expression on his face.
"I'll search for them with Cerebro," Xavier said before wheeling to the room Cerebro was located. They all followed after him, watching as he tried to get a read on Remy and Lilly. No matter how hard he looked there was some sort of signal interference with Cerebro. Just to test it out, Xavier tried to look for somebody from the brotherhood, and got the same interference.
"Don't worry Professor, I'll take this thing apart and find the cause for the interference. If worse comes to worst then I'll just recalibrate it so that it can go around the interference," Hank said.
"Thank you Hank. Gather the rest of the team. While Hank works on this, we need to be searching the streets for any kind of signs or clues," Xavier told the rest of them. Within five minutes Xavier, Rogue, Logan, Jean, Scott, Kitty, Kurt, Piotr, Amira, Bobby and Ororo were all assembled in Xavier's office. "I want you to divide into two man teams and scour the city for Remy and Lilly. All we know is the MRD has taken them hostage. We don't know why and we especially don't know where. While Hank tries to fix Cerebro, we need to gather any information from the streets."
"Right. Alright Logan and Rogue, you scout out by the warehouses, Jean and I will look over by the high school, Kitty and Kurt have the North end, Piotre and Amira take the South, and that leaves Central to Bobby and Ororo," Scott said, dividing everyone to teams and locations. Everyone seemed to be okay with their new assignments and split up to search the city.
Logan and Rogue went to the warehouses and started searching for anything that might give them an answer. Lucky for them, they spotted two MRD men standing guard outside of one of the warehouses. They figured that was their best bet until they got closer. Logan sniffed the air and frowned.
"They're not here," Logan said. "But maybe there's someone in there who knows where they are."
"So what's tha plan?" Rogue questioned.
"We knock these two boneheads out, don't think they'd know very much, and we question whoever is waiting inside."
"Got it."
Logan climbed up one of the buildings, getting a good vantage point before leaping down on the two guards and knocking them unconscious. Rogue came around the corner and followed Logan as they entered the warehouse as quietly as possible. They made their way slowly to the middle of the room, which was blanketed in darkness. Once they reached the middle, Logan started yelling and growling as a large electrical current ran through him until he collapsed on the ground unconscious.
"Wolverine!" Rogue called out, using his codename since they were in uniform.
Two men came after Rogue and she fought them off, only to be shocked by the same contraption that shocked Logan, until she was also unconscious. Logan and Rogue's bodies were carried off.
