Authors Note: Sorry everyone but there was a fight scene before this entry which is now forever lost in cyberspace :( Basically what happened was Magneto, Sabertooth, and Avalanche attacked the three X-men with plans of kidnapping Storm. Succeeding, Sabertooth left Serenity knocked out on the road and Magneto left Wolverine pinned to a tree with some metal. The leave with Storm and Wolverine get free and revives Serenity, and it picks up from there. Sorry again TT
She softly slapped her forehead and shook her head from sid to side. Sometimes se wondered if Logan was naturally blonde. She stared at his head for a moment. "I meant, you should jump in front of one of these cars," She giggled once more and hissed angrily. She couldn't wait to see Sabertooth again. Boy did he have it coming.
Logan gave her a look. "Oh, that would be real funny, I'm sure," he muttered sarcastically, scratching the back of his neck. "Pick on the guy with the healing powers, huh." Still, he couldn't help grinning. The idea seemed just as ludicrously funny to him as it probably did to her.
"Come on Logan, don't be such a baby. I'd do it myself if I wasn't already half dead. How else are we going to get a ride? I don't know if I have enough energy to work my pheremones hard enough to a point it can't stop a driver in its vehicle."
"Alright, alright," Logan said, waving his hands, "I didn't say I wouldn't. I'd just rather not get run over in the process." After a few moments, he picked up the distant sound of a car. He held out a hand, thumbs-up, but the car zoomed past, its occupants staring out the windows.
"Assholes," Logan muttered. He was unsucessful two more times before he had an idea.
"Hey, c'mover here," he said, beckoning Serenity with a hand, "Put your arm over my shoulder and drag your feet, like you can't walk. Act really injured."
Obeying, Serenity placed her arm over Logan's massive shoulders and hunched over, which actually felt pretty good considering her condition. She waited to know that he was supporting her before she let her feet drag the ground. She didn't need any more scratches and breaks. She decided to wait and see what he had in mind before asking him.
Logan moved his other arm around her and pulled her upright easily, gripping the hand around his shoulder with his free hand. "Perfect," he said, "okay, now, we walk..." He was nearly carrying her down the road.
As luck would have it, the next car - a green minivan - slowed down and idled next to the two of them. The passenger side window rolled down, revealing a nervous-looking housewife. Her husband, the driver, leaned over, "hey, are you two okay?"
She was beginning to feel a little bit better. If she had to walk on her own and support her own weight anymore, she would have blacked out. It wasn't hard to play the part but, now she was a little confused. Did he want her to quickly blow her pheremone dust at them?
"Uh, not so much," Logan said, trying to act the part, "We got knocked off the highway by a semi. I'm fine, but my...uh...friend here..." He nodded at Serenity, turning around so the couple could get a clear view of the injured woman. The wife let out a small gasp, "oh, my. I think we could fit you in the back, right, dear?" The husband nodded vehemently. Inside his mind, Logan pumped a fist. Families were always so easy to buy crap like that - and, he guessed, they could be good samaritans too.
Serenity sighed inwardly. Thank God!!! She couldn't walk another mile, maybe she could catch some 'Zs' as well.
"Hop in the back," the wife said, and the automatic door on the minivan opened, revealing two slightly confused-looking children. "Who're they?" one asked, and the mother shushed him, "We're just giving these nice people a ride, sweetie." Logan glanced at Serenity, "You first." He gestured to the empty seats in the back.
She reached up and bit her fist. Big mistake. She made her way back slowly, in an exaggerated pace.
Logan witheld a smirk at Serenity's expression, and followed her to the back, leaning against the seat leisurely.
"Uh, just to the next town is fine," he muttered, and the husband nodded, driving off. The two children rounded and stared at the pair sitting in the back of the car as soon as the vehicle picked up speed.
Ororo moaned softly as her eyes slowly fluttered open. Her head ached. Was the car crash that bad? She licked her lips. "Logan... ? Serenity?"
A watching Avalanced smirked. "She's awake boss!"
Magneto glanced behind, still driving the truck calmly with his powers, "Good, good. Make sure she doesn't get out of control." He turned back to look at the road - they were headed north, towards the wildernesses above the larger seaboard cities. Close enough to do some damage, far enough away to avoid detection.
Riding in cars was boring. After a few minutes, Logan nodded off, his head dropping onto Serenity's shoulder. This brought the renewed attention of the kids, who whispered and pointed.
Well if he would be sleeping, she would stay awake. It'd be awfully sad if she went to sleep and never woke up again, but then again that would be just her luck.
Dazed and confused Ororo looked up at Avalanche. They lost? How could that even be plausable ? She heard Magneto's voice. Oh, that's why. She looked around the van interior as much as her constraints would allow.
"Looking for your team mates?" He grinned. "Well your badger friend- the one with the metal claws- he's currently pinned to a tree,"
"And Serenity?"
"Well... I doubt she's still even on this planet after the beating Sabertooth gave her," He smirked looking at Sabertooth from the corner of his eye. "But then again, you know that's just some couple's way of expressing love to one another,"
Sabretooth normally would have scowled at this kind of comment, but as they were dealing with the weather witch, he grinned, flashing his large fangs, and winked down at her. "I had fun with her - she'll be sore for weeks."
Magneto remained silent, thinking. Surely the two X-Men would find a way to get the word back to headquarters, and then...he knew he could keep out of sight for a long time, but things would have to take place beforehand - and quickly.
Ororo eyes widened at his comment. She was one of very few, who did not fear Sabertooth at all. "You didn't! You monster!!" Her eyes grew white. Serenity couldn't be dead. She would'nt let it happen, but.. she was hurt really bad, even before the car crashed...
"Naughty, naughty, Storm," Avalanche, chidded. "If we feel so much as a gust I'll show you just how painful it can be to be shocked by lightning."
Sabretooth merely smirked, folding his arms and looking condescendingly at the trapped Ororo, "That's something you're not gonna find out, now, isn't it?"
"Avalance is right, you know," Magneto said calmly from the front. "If you try anything here, you'd be completely out of your element." She was, after all, wrapped in metal, traveling in a metal box. Not exactly conveniant for her, but perfect for him. Cars passed on the highway, ignoring the plain van carrying Ororo.
She rolled her eyes relaxing her body. "Why would I dare try anything ? I do so love these get togethers Erik !" her voice oozed with menace and sarcasm.
She looked over the Sabertooth, completely ignoring Avalanche. "Well in that case, I surely hope you did kill her because when they come for me your ass is kitty litter," she smirked. She knew those two goons couldn't put a hand on her now that she was captured. Sabertooth was the woman beater, Magneto was the 'distinguished' gentleman, oddly enough, and Avalanche was sort of a self proclaimed pretty boy.
"That's good to hear," Magneto answered calmly, supressing a smile. People could be so over-emotional sometimes, and the members of Charles's so-called team frequently got themselves riles up over nothing.
Sabretooth didn't take this threat seriously at all. He merely went on smirking, "Sure it is. Set a date, sweetheart - I'll take you down." He cracked his knuckles, and leaned back against the side of the van, "Are we there yet?"
"Nearly," Magneto answered, "Just keep our charge back there occupied."
She struggled a bit, but it was useless. Damn metal, and damn his metal manipulative powers. Atleast if they'd brought Serenity she could dust them. She arched an eyebrow at his movements. Whatever. Serenity was going to serve his behind on a plate to him.
Eventually, the car slowed to a halt. Outside the window, a forest of high trees was visible. "Right," Magneto said, "We're here. Let's go." The back van doors opened automatically.
"Um..." the timid husband driving the minivan turned back to Serenity, "We're here - the next town, I mean. Is this alright? Do you want us to drop you off anywhere?"
"No, no we're fine. You've done more than enough," She reached in her bra to pull out a roll of money. "How much do we owe you for gas?"
Ororo stiffened. One of them had to lug her. She wouldn't make it easy for the unlucky jerk. Where was she? What was Magneto up to?
Magneto stepped out of the truck, easily lifting up the piece of metal wrapped around Ororo to carry her to the small unassuming concrete structure. From the outside, it looked like it might house something electrical, like a power grid.
"One of you get the doors," he nodded to his lackeys.
"Oh, you don't owe us anything," the man shook his head, pointedly ignoring where the girl had pulled the money from, "I'm...just glad we could help." He glanced nervously at his wife.
"Nonsense," her voice was serene and weak. She took a hundred dollar bill and laid it on the dash board. "This is most kindess I've recieved in a lifetime. Thank you." She nudged Logan. "Er- honey, we're here. Wake up."
Ororo growled. Dammit! She twisted and writhed, hoping the metal would give just a tad bit, atleast that meant progress.
"You heard the boss Lady Killa, get the doors," he followed close behind, keeping an eye on Ororo.
"Shut up," Sabretooth growled, undoing the rusted chain around the door handles and flinging them open to reveal a rather forboding concrete tunnel. He led the way in, followed by the other two, and Magneto shut the doors behind him, redoing the chain on the outside from the inside.
"Oh, really, you don't have to - " the husband began again, but the wife put a hand on his chest and stopped him. Logan grunted at the nudge, and blinked, "whu...oh. Th'nks." He sat up straight with a yawn, and climbed towards the door of the van.
Serenity took her sweet time getting out of the van. She held her side and waited for Logan, ignoring the stares she got from walking around in her bra.
Frustrated she went limp, catching her breath and gathering her thoughts. Right now she was completely vulnerable. She had to wait, patiently, see what they were up to.
As the minivan drove off, Logan turned to Serenity, and shook his head a little to wake himself up. Seeing the gazes of the townspeople directed to her, he smirked, "Y'think they can't see the bruises?"
The tunnel seemed to go on for a very long time, and was lit only by dim halogen lights. Water dripped in from somewhere with a steady plip. Magneto didn't seem to care, although Sabretooth wrinkled his nose and scowled. Eventually, they reached a second metal door, a very thick one, which Magneto opened with ease.
Storm looked around, intrigued. Where in the blue bleeps was she? How deep underground were they? What was it with bad guys and underground tunnels?
She put her hands on her hips. "Hopefully my breasts are perfect enough to distract them," she retorted. "Now where are we headed ?"
"Some place where we can get a car, a phone, or a shirt for you," Logan answered, walking off down the sidewalk, looking around, "We gotta find where they took 'Roro."
The room beyond looked a little more complicated than the tunnel - several large computer monitors were hooked up on the walls, showing shots of New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and other large east coast cities. The machines below occasionally flickered and switched the view. There were a few doors leading off to other rooms, and Sabretooth automatically headed towards one, but Magneto halted him with a shout.
"We're going this way first," he said, smiling and gesturing to one of the other doors.
"Do you plan on unraveling this metal off of me anytime soon? This is not the most comfortable position in the world," She had to think. Magneto was patient but Sabertooth and Avalanche were another story. If they were all riled up, they might end up tearing each other apart.
She thought for a minute. "What town is this?" If they were lucky she might be able to find some Morlocks who could help them out greatly, and a healer who could handle her ever growing handy cap.
"No, you're going to stay in that until we can guarantee you're under my control," Magneto said calmly, guiding the others through the door into a large circular chamber. Machines lined the walls and filled up the space in the middle - all his creations.
"No idea," Logan muttered, scratching the back of his head, "Don't have a map." He grabbed the nearest passerby, "Hey, where are we?" The man looked affronted, "New Hartford." He shook his arm out of Logan's grip and walked off.
"This metal is starting to dig into me !" she said struggling more, getting ticked off. What did he mean control ? What was he going to do with her ?
"New Hartford..." She looked around. "We need to go to the nearest alley," She grabbed his arm and rushed into the town.
"Well, you'll just have to deal!" Sabretooth snarled, folding his arms again, "Ain't like you've got a say in this."
"Just stop struggling, Ororo," Magneto advised, "You'd hurt yourself less."
"Whu - " Logan ran to keep up with Serenity, "What are we gonna do in an alley?" This didn't sound all that bad...
Storm obeyed. They weren't going to free her from her contraints. "What a poor way to treat a guest," She glared at Sabertooth. "If I were you, I'd be thinking of the quickest way out of the country. Your days are numbered. I'm going enjoy watching Serenity make you cry!" It was a little crueler than she was used to, but she was angry. She looked at Magneto. "Can't you tie me up in something a bit more comfortable?"
"I think there's a secret morlock base here. If we're going for 'Ro. I need to be healed. I'm worthless like this. We also need to gather ourselves and see if they know anything about the Brotherhood's plans.." She cut into a semi dark alley and looked for a sewer connection.
"Because, Ororo, you would find escape much easier then," Magneto said, opening a side door in the large room to reveal a much smaller room, lined completely with metal. "In you go - and don't try anything funny. You'll only exhaust yourself here." He levitated her into the small room. Sabretooth turned his nose up, "She couldn't hurt me if she tried."
"Oh," Logan muttered in understanding, "You really think they'd know anything important?" He wished he could have projected his powers somehow - he was long since healed from the fight - but that wasn't part of his mutation.
Instinct caused her to struggle as he levitated her into the room. Completely forgetting about the colar, her eyes turned white. She'd strike those bastards down where they stood. She didn't have time for this. She should be out looking for Jean with Loganand Serenity.
"It's the only hope we have," She hunched over and breathed softly, and then stood back up. "Magneto is a quick worker. The sooner we get to 'Ro, to sooner we foil his plans."
Ignoring for now the furious look on Ororo's face, Magneto placed her gently down in the middle of the room and turned back to his two cronies as he headed for the door. "I'm going to perform some final checks on the machine," he announced calmly. "One of you stand outside the cell and guard her - she won't be able to hurt you."
"Guess you got that right," Logan admitted. He still felt stupid about letting the group get away so easily with 'Roro. It was only three people, for chrissake. How could he not take on three people?
"We gotta find us another ride, too," he added on. "We're not going to find her at all if we can't move around fast."
Walking deeper into the alley. Serenity stopped above a manhole. "Are you going to come down with me, or stand here and wait?" She looked up at him as she reached to pull up the metal lid, flinching in pain slightly.
Avalance smiled and gave Sabertooth a big pat on the shoulder. " She's all yours lover boy," Maybe he'd go and rest. They'd been working night and day to make sure Magneto came close to what he wanted, with Xavier dead Magneto did not hesitate to pounce on this rare opportunity.
Going limp, Ororo thought for a few good seconds. Serenity had told her about the encounters she'd had with Sabertooth. They'd beat each other within an inch of their lives but never kill each other. Well that was after Magneto wanted to recruit her anyway. They knew about Serenity more than they did about her, so why kidnap her and not Serenity?
Logan rolled his eyes, "Give that to me." He brushed her aside and bent down, easily pulling the manhole cover off. He tossed it aside and it landed with a clang against the asphalt.
"And of course I'm comin' with ya!" he added. "You think I'd trust you down there in the state you're in?"
Sabretooth bared his teeth and growled at Avalanche, but stood resolutely outside the door as it slammed shut. He knew Magneto had seen that, so whatever grunt-work he needed doing next, Avalanche would have to do it out of basis of fairness. Sliding down against the wall, Sabretooth sat and examined his claws boredly.
Magneto, meanwhile, made his way to the enormous underground room that housed the machine he'd devised. It had been a snap to build - when one can control anything metallic, things just piece themselves together - but designing it had been the real challenge. But now, it would serve its purpose well.
Ororo smirked. "You know Victor, you beat my friend up pretty bad, she must have done something really bad to you, or maybe you're jealous.." Serenity never gave any hints or ideas of being with Victor at all, but there must have been some reason these two never killed each other. They only toyed with one another. "I mean, you can smell just as good as Logan can.. Does it bother you to smell him all over her?" Even though her prison kept her from using her powers, it also kept him from going berserk on her.
She held her ribs as she carefully made her way down. "If there are some Morlocks in this area, I wont be like this for long," Each movement she gave made it worse, but then again her body was used to abuse, it just didn't know how to make it painless to her.
Sabretooth snorted condescendingly at Ororo's echoing comments from the cell.
"You think this is all about my emotions, huh," he muttered, shaking his head in slight disbelief. "I could care less if James has a girlfriend or not. But it would have been nice to kill her just to see the look on his face." Sabretooth's face slid into a frown; he was tired of being bested by the so-called Wolverine. He was a better fighter, even if he had to fight dirtier to prove it.
"Good to know," Logan muttered, following her down the ladder. An inquisitive passerby stopped and peered down the manhole. Logan rolled his eyes.
"Sewer inspection," he called up, "If you ain't gonna help, you better leave." The man vanished.
"This place smells terrible," he muttered to himself, holding a sleeve up to his nose.
She looked at him. "I'm sorry, I forgot about your hightened senses, maybe you should stay up and keep watch," She looked around the dark sewer ways."The deeper we do in, the worse the smell gets," If she knew the Morlocks, they'd have spies alerting their appearance this second.
This was interesting, she was getting somewhere. "You could have done that before you jerks kidnapped me. But you didn't. She's had her chances to slaughter you and she hasn't. Do you feel as if you owe her or does it piss you off that one of Logan's friend's has spared you as many times as you have her?"
Logan shook his head, "C'mon, I want to help. And really, I just said it smelled like..." Well, they were in a sewer - that would be stating the obvious. "I didn't say it bothered me. Just that it stinks."
"I don't owe her a thing," Sabretooth snapped, glaring at the door. "I'm looking for the right moment - some perfect time. And besides, we'd gotten what we came for." He laughed shortly, a mean bitter laugh. "I'm not going to waste time." He did what Magneto told him to do, really, but he wasn't going to say that outloud. He wasn't that dumb. "As for the parts where she hasn't killed me - well, maybe she just can't. She wouldn't have the guts. Or, he would stop her. He wants to kill me himself."
"You and I both know that's bull Victor. You know Serenity very well, just like you know all your enemies. You don't believe for one second that Logan has her under his thumb, and that's what entices you, or maybe deep down inside, you want what's his," he bit her bottom lip trying not to laugh and keep her voice stoic. She didn't know if any of this was true, but pissing off Sabertooth would prove advantageous if not funny. "Maybe you punish her for being with him. Choosing the X-men over the Brotherhood. You guys have offered her spots here several times, or was Magneto trying to replace you?"
Taking a scrap of her shirt out of her jeans (she'd been saving it incase she started bleeding) she gave it to him to put over his nose. "The scent on that should be strong enough to make you smell the sewer the way I do," With that she began walking. Not far along was three figures waiting for them in the darkness.
Sabretooth, unfortunately, was fairly ruled by his emotions. "It is not," he snapped, a little louder this time, "and Magneto thinks I'm doing a fine job. You wouldn't even know how long I've been working with him - you X-Men never know anything. Magneto's only asked her here because he wants her on our side - her and what she can do." He clenched his jaw tightly and stared at the floor; it would be like her to twist his words around, wouldn't it? Women were so stupid...
Logan looked down in mild suprise at the piece of cloth, then with a small shrug, held it up to his face. It smelled like blood and sweat from the recent fight, but also some kind of nice soap. And it smelled like Serenity. Everyone had their personal scent - humans just couldn't tell. In any case it blocked out the stench from the sewers.
"Think they'll be friendly?" he asked, nodding towards the figures.
"I'd be scared if they were friendly, actually, I'm waiting for us to fall into a tr--" Within an instant she was tackled to the ground. The sewers became illuminated. Two women stood before Logan and one had Serenity on the ground."You humans made a big mistake in comming here," Angry, Serenity kicked the girl off of her, spat out blood and rose to her feet. "I'd don't see any humans here, and if you don't believe me, I'd love to back up your water mains with thick, impenetrable vegetation as proof." The three backed down, confused as to what should be done next. Oh right, the code. "Unity," With that one word they lowered their weapons. "Who are you?" "I'm a friend of Marrow's," She wouldnt admit to needing a healer just yet. "He's with me," "Follow us," the leader said, walking deeper into the sewers.
"Well I'd like to believe you Victor, but these things don't add up. Why not capture her instead? You still think she's going to walk over to you guys any minute now?"
"So much for the friendly reception," Logan muttered, following after Serenity. "You okay?" he asked, nodding to her, "You shoulda let me go first." He wasn't so easily tackled, that was for sure.
"We don't need her, we need you," Sabretooth said in exasperation, "And we couldn't force her to join without some brainwashing or something...people gotta be willing to work and to listen. Without that, they're useless. We're still waiting for her to see the clear message."
Unfortuneatly, she's seeing that message more and more everyday. Ororo remembered comforting her in her room as she tore up stuff screaming. 'Magneto was right all along,' 'If only we helped Charles to see, he'd still be alive," It too a strong talk to jar her thinking, but she can tell by the look in her eyes that if she had no obligations, she'd have left already. "And what exactly do you need me for?"
She chuckled, trying to calm herself and not get angry. "Today just isn't my day," she smiled and looked him. Mine, She shook her head and looked ahead of her. She didn't need this right now. "How's that rag working?" she asked changing the subject.
Sabretooth smirked. Finally, he'd gotten a bit of an upper hand. "That, now, I can't tell you, although if you were smarter, you'd have figured it out by now." When he looked at it from his information, it seemed almost ridiculously simple, but it still gave him pleasure to demean the captive woman.
"Like a charm," Logan nodded, dangling the rag at her between his thumb and forefinger. "You should try it if the smell's botherin' ya. Even without the whole...heightened senses thing. Still smells nice." He glanced around the sewer walls, feeling a little closed in. This better not take too long...and he wasn't entirely sure the Morlocks were going to be cooperative.
"When it feels like a herd of elephants trampled your ribs over and over, the last thing on your mind is a stench," They come a large clearing with a great number of tents and people conversing, which all stopped when the two came into view. The three girls left to go in search of Marrow, confident that the two weren't stupid enough to pull something.
Storm scowled. "You know Victor, you wouldn't have to lust after Logan's woman if you'd only learn how to speak to women properly,"
Logan looked curiously around at the gathering, a little peeved at attracting such attention - at least, without having done anything significant. "Well, we better hope you're friend's here," he muttered at last, pulling up a seat on a nearby box.
Sabretooth snorted, "Last time I checked, James was walking up to women in bars and offering them beer. And I'm not stupid enough to believe he's undergone some big change."
She was getting light headed. Stupid people always did when they pushed themselves too far. But before se could even react on it, she felt warmth on her area of pain, slowly ebbing it away. "I couldn't believe it when they told me, and yet here you are, Serenity." Marrow stood before the two with a young male healer beside her. "Luckily for the Morlocks we were forgotten after the big battle. We are safer here than we've ever been. We now only have to fear of mutants, and they have their hands tied with the sun-dwellers," Serenity nodded in respect. "You know I only come here because I have no other choice. I will need some of your resources," She hated to asked because she knew they had so little. She didn't tell them of Magneto's plan because she didn't know it herself, and now was not the time to show ignorance.
"You just keep thinking that," Sabretooth snarled, his anger returned, "I'd like to kill him, if that's what you mean." He cracked his knuckles and slammed himself back against the wall with a sigh. Avalanche was going to pay for making him take first watch. Stupid weather witch. Annoying as hell.
Certain he would say something to mar the process of whatever Serenity was doing, Logan kept his mouth shut, folding his arms and standing behind the girl. He wasn't going to interfere here, especially since it was she the Morlocks were friendly with and not he.
Tormenting the beast was getting old. Storm couldn't help but feel sorry for Victor. The professor told her of some of things he's had to endure, which helped to create this psycho everyone knows today. "Victor?" she asked softly, deep in thought.
"Well you and your friend are welcome to stay as long as you want," Backing away the healer bowed. Serenity moved her arm. She punched, jabbed, kicked, and flipped. It felt good to be her old self again. "You've already done so much Marrow but could I ask you another favor ?" "Ask away my friend," "Is Blink here?"
"What?" Sabretooth snapped, losing his patience with the weather witch's mind games. She didn't even have to be telepathic to annoy the hell out of him.
"Nice," Logan commented, watching Serenity regain her strength and speed. "That oughta keep you going for longer." He glanced over at the one called Marrow, now curious as to who this "Blink" was.
"You some kind of celebrity around here?" he joked to the woman.
Marrow looked at Serenity's friend respectfully. "No, I am but a leader of this sector." She looked back to Serenity. "She is here. What is so urgent that you would require her skills?" Serenity's face darkened."My friend was kidnapped, while I was getting stomped into the ground," Marrow nodded and asked no more questions.
"Did you ever have a life before this one you spend trying to hunt down Logan?"
"Wow, no sense of humor," Logan muttered to himself, "I guess you get that when you live in the sewers for a while." But he followed Serenity and Marrow, and refrained from any more bitter comments.
"Of course!" Sabretooth said, "but times change. Besides, hunting that bastard down makes life more fun."
Marrow smiled. "You would be right about that. You sense of humor goes down the crapper, which happens to be where we live," Serenity couldn't voice how happy she was. Finally, she was healed. She wanted to kick Sabertooth's ass right there and then."I need Blink to take us there as soon as possible," Marrow nodded, not really knowing where 'there' actually was.
"You know, Charles wanted to help you, he really did. He wanted to do for you what he's done for Logan," Eric and Charles had been friends for the longest of times, and yet it didn't even seem as if he mourned him at all.
Logan gave a short barking laugh that echoed oddly in the sewers. "Frankly, from where you live, I'm s'prised you haven't come up with new jokes or gags or anythin'. You'd be the hits of upstairs," he said, jerking a thumb upwards.
"Y'think we could just go in a general direction of where they left from?" Logan asked Serenity.
"What - make me into a lapdog that runs his errands? No thanks." Sabretooth shook his head resolutely, "If Logan likes that, let him keep his little space on Team X-Men."
"And I guess you're the boss here Victor? Not some lap dog? Sure you don't fetch orders like kidnapping me or watching me, you're the head kitty in charge," How could he be so blind ?
Serenity elbowed Logan in the ribs."Blink could bring us right into the head quarters," Marrow looked Serenity up and down. "Where ... is your shirt?"
