Escape
While they were fighting, everybody failed to notice, Rogue sneaking out of the forest behind the cage that held the X-Men. Quickly using Magneto's power, she made a gap big enough between two of the bars, for them to squeeze through.
"Pssst" She whispered harshly. Poking her head out of the bushes.
Logan turned around and saw her standing in the forest. "Rogue? How did you-"
Rogue cut him off. "Teleport." She smiled slightly. "Now come on. Everyone has to leave now."
With a nod, he tapped Scott on the shoulder. Scott turned to look at Logan, who nodded his head in the direction of Rogue. Scott followed the direction of his movement and a small smile crept on his face when he saw Rogue. He nodded to Logan and went over to Storm and whispered something to her. She looked shocked before, silently grabbing Jubilee's wrist and pulling her towards the gap in the bars.
Jubilee's eyes widened when she saw the gap. She was about to say something when Storm put her hand over Jubilee's mouth. "We have to leave as quickly and as quietly as possible. Questions will be answered later."
Jubilee nodded, and Storm removed her hand. They walked through the gap in the bars, followed by Kitty. Right behind her was her boyfriend Peter. They snuck into the forest beside Rogue. A few moments later Bobby joined them with Kurt.
"You guys have to get to the Blackbird." Rogue quickly whispered. "I'll contact Jean. We have to leave without being noticed." They all nodded and were about to leave in the direction of Blackbird, when a noise made them stop in their tracks.
"The X-Men are escaping!" Callisto's shriek echoed throughout silent air.
Damn it! Rogue looked out of the forest to see Juggernaut and Sabretooth running towards them and Carol flying above them. Right behind them Arclight after them with Pyro a few steps behind her. They all looked mad that they were escaping, but Carol looked the most furious, realizing she really hadn't killed Rogue.
Jean launched herself at Mystique who was starting to run in the direction of the X-Men, while Yuriko tried to win a hopeless battle against Magneto, who kept tossing her about with a wave of his hand.
Callisto reached the X-Men first, going into a battle against Storm. Juggernaut charged after Scott and Beast, who stood their ground. Arclight ran after Kitty, who phased through her and Jubilee sent her jolts. With a BAMF Kurt disappeared and reappeared behind Sabretooth landing a kick in the middle of his back as Peter ran in front of him and dealt a punch of his own. Pyro ran up behind Bobby and kicked him behind the knees.
Carol flew towards Rogue and grabbed her by the throat, floating just above the ground. A twisted smile formed on her lips. "This time I'll make sure you die!" Carol gave a cruel, laugh. Rogue gasped for, breath, trying to break Carol's death grip around her neck.
Carol didn't notice Logan sneak up behind her. He jabbed his claws into legs. Carol dropped Rogue and turned around to face Logan. Carol picked Logan up off the ground and flew into the air, Logan struggling in her grasp. Rogue gasped for air, but when she saw Carol fly off with Logan, she flew into the air as well.
"Put him down!" Rogue yelled at Carol. She was holding Logan by the collar of his shirt. He was swinging his arms around, trying to slash her.
With a look of amusement she looked at Logan. "Alright." And she dropped the hold she had on his jacket.
Rogue screamed and flew after Logan. Carol grabbed Rogue's arm and swung her fist around, which connected with Rogue's jaw. If it had been any normal person their jaw would be broken, but Rogue had Logan's healing factor. Rogue punched Carol in the stomach with Juggernaut's strength and kneed her in the face, when Carol bent over. While she was distracted she started to fly after Logan again, only to stop when she saw, Jean grab him when he was a few feet above the ground. Carol came up behind Rogue and grabbed her and flew down to earth.
She was flying at break neck speed, the ground growing closer per second. Rogue tried to pull herself apart from Ms. Marvel, but she held fast. When they were only a few meters away from the ground, Ms. Marvel, pulled away from her and flew off to the side. Rogue didn't have enough time to pull up and away from the ground though. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for the impact to arrive, which was coming in mere seconds.

"NO!" Logan cried running over to the spot Rogue where Rogue would hit the earth.
He ran over, desperate to catch her, but it was a lost cause. She hit the earth with a loud THUD that echoed throughout Alkali Lake.
"No!" Logan cried out. He ran over to Rogue's side.
He was relieved to see the steady fall and rise of her chest. There was blood slowly trickling from a gash on the side of her head, but otherwise she looked fine. He silently thanked God she had his healing factor, or else she wouldn't have survived. She was knocked out, but it was no surprise. He was just thankful she would be okay.
He was so preoccupied with Rogue he didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind him, until it was too late. A hand grabbed the back of his neck and turned him around, so he was face to face with Sabretooth.
Sabretooth let out a growl as his hand tightened around his neck. "We didn't finish our fight on the Liberty Island." He said, a growl rumbling in his throat again.
"Really?" Logan asked, unsheathing his claws. "I thought we'd finished." He jabbed his claws into Sabretooth's stomach.
Sabretooth let out a roar and threw Logan at the nearest tree. Logan hit it hard and slid to the ground. He stood up and ran up to him. He was about to gut him again when he felt something connect with his head. Hard. He saw Juggernaut laughing, holding a large tree branch in his hands, before he collapsed to the ground, in a whirlwind of darkness.

"Logan!" Jean screamed.
She had seen Rogue fall out of the sky and couldn't use her telekinetic ability to stop her from hitting the ground. To top it off, she had seen Juggernaut hit Logan in the back of the head with a tree branch and knock him out.
Oh No! Rogue told me they were after her and Logan! Now they're knocked out!
Just then Arclight walked up to Rogue and lifter her onto her left shoulder. Using her left hand she made a circle and a black portal arrived.
"Scott!" Jean screamed. Scott kneed Pyro in the stomach before turning to see Arclight call out to Sabretooth. He sent a blast at her, but she quickly stepped inside the portal. A moment later Sabretooth stepped through the portal as well, carrying Logan.
"Rogue!" Jean looked behind her to see Kitty and Jubilee running towards the portal. Just before they could jump into the portal, it closed and they landed in the snow.
"Logan!" Storm yelled out into stillness of the slowly approaching sunset.
"Come back!" Bobby yelled. He ran to the place where the portal was. Staring in shock to see nothing was left behind.
"Well, there's something you don't see everyday." Pyro chuckled to himself.
Jean glared at John before lifting him into the air with her telekinetic power. Scott ran up to Jean and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Jean, put him down!" He said softly. Jean dropped him to the ground and put her arms around Scott's waist and cried into his chest.
Jubilee sobbed, while Bobby put a hand on her shoulder. A moment later she turned to him and he pulled her into a hug.
"Kitty? Are you okay?" Peter asked, coming up behind his girlfriend. Kitty turned around to look at him, still sitting on the ground. Tears were silently pouring from her eyes as Peter walked up to her and knelt in front of her. He brought her into a tight embrace and stroked her hair. "Don't worry. We'll find them and get them back." He felt Kitty no, but the tears still fell.
Beast bowed his head and Kurt shook his head. He was speaking softly in German, most likely saying a prayer. Yuriko stood still, trembling from rage. Storm gave a loud sigh and looked at Scott, waiting for his orders.
Everyone was wrapped up in their grief for Rogue and Logan, they didn't notice the Brotherhood sneak off, until they heard a helicopter flying above them.
Scott exhaled deeply, before releasing Jean and turning to face the rest of the X-Men.
"What do we do now?" Jubilee asked, the usual bounciness in her voice gone.
"Everyone board the Blackbird." He commanded, his voice lacking a bit of his usual confidence when he gave orders. "We'll go back home. The Professor can use Cerebro and find them." He looked at the ground then looked back at the others. "We will find them." He said, the confidence returning to his voice.
