AN/ Okay, okay, I know. I'm a horrible person and what kind of moron just refuses to update for seven months and all that. But frankly, I reread all this and considered it heresy; I wasn't even actually planning on continuing it as it frigging mocked my current writing skills. BUT! I'm back now and I m actually gonna start updating. Shock,
I know. ;) Please don't hate me too much.

Juggernaut locked his gaze on Rogue. "Her! That's what I'm here for!"

"Me!? Whaddaya want with me?"

"It's not me that wants ya, beautiful. I'm the delivery boy."
Juggernaut lunged unexpectedly for Rogue and grasped her arm. He threw her over his shoulder and slammed through the wall, running up to a small jet parked on the mansion's lawn that took off even before the door had completely closed on Rogue's struggling form on Juggernaut's laughing one. It happened so quickly that nobody had much time to react.

After about a full minute of stunned silence, Professor Xavier turned to Logan. "Did you catch the scent of the jet?"

"Yeah," he replied stiffly. "Reeked of Essex."

The Professor said something that the Professor was not usually at all inclined to say, and Jubilee sucked in a sharp breath.

"Who's Essex?" Kitty asked.

"He usually goes by Mr. Sinister now," Xavier explained. "He's a twisted geneticist mutant who's powers were enhanced by Apocolypse. We have a bit of history with both of them. And now it seems he has Rogue."

An air of discomfort settled around everyone.

"Well, get yer butts to the war room, Sinister's not just gonna wait around for us!" Logan ordered the students.

"We need a better plan than that!" Jubilee snapped at Logan. "We can't just barge in there and take her. You might be able to heal but it's not like the rest of us really can."
"Well, what the hell else are we supposed to do?" Logan growled. "He's gonna be expecting us by now, it's not like we can very well stage an ambush, either."
"Well if we just barge in there, they are going to kill us. Plain and simple."
"Jubilee, you of all people would know that that's not true," Storm broke in. "He wanted us for our genetic material last time. After we set fire to the lab he held us in, he lost that. If I know Sinister, he's going to try and capture us. We should be able to use that to our advantage. Send in someone to purposely get caught that sinister does not extensively know about-- Kitty, perhaps-- and they can get information. With her mutation, she can just slip away."
"We're not sendin' a sixteen year old in to Essex's lab alone!" Wolverine shouted. "For once, I think I agree with Herr Logan," Kurt mumbled to kitty. He eyed her for a second. "Katzchen, I think you forgot to do up your button." Kitty looked down at her shirt and blushed. Well, that was more cleavage than she was showing last time she checked. She did up the two top buttons. "I didn't realize you had undone them," she whispered to him. He grinned at her. "Hey!" Wolverine growled in their general direction. "Would you two concentrate right now and get back to whatever you were doing behind closed doors later?" "But... We-we weren't doing anything!" She whispered to him feverishly, trying not to attract the attention of the students or teammates. Logan rolled his eyes. "Sure you weren't. Just pay attention." Kitty turned away and tried to hide her blush.
"But I have to wonder," the Professor continued with something kitty had not heard while she was talking to Kurt. "What would Sinister want with Juggernaut? And the other way around?"
A silence fell over the room.

Rogue was thrown into a caged cell. She was actually a bit relieved. The throbbing pains all over her body from the Juggernaut's... Well, it could only be described as manhandling, were a lot easier to deal with when she was alone and un-blindfolded. She looked around and saw a cell beside hers had someone in it. She gasped. Not much shocked rogue these days, but this was quite a jolt. The someone was beaten to a bloody pulp. She could hear that his breathing was ragged and one of his legs was twisted into an unnatural shape. His eyes were closed in pain and he was obviously conscious, as he was trying to keep his broken leg above the ground, and supporting his weight on his elbows. His face was red from the blood pouring out of... She could count five cuts on his head. His auburn hair was glued to his head from the blood. His clothes were torn horribly, all blood soaked. She wanted to cry for this man, he looked seriously like he might die. It felt like her heart dropped into her stomach. Was this the same fate that awaited her? A beat-up doll? She felt as if she would be sick all over the floor when she heard the man speak quietly to himself.
"C'mon, Lebeau, set the damn leg, you've been t'rough worse." He came up off his elbows and reached for his leg. He shifted it into a slightly more normal looking angle and screamed.
"MERDE! Je jure que je le tuerai si ce sera mon dernier acte!" Well, she wasn't expecting him to start shouting in French. He leaned back on his elbows, breathing hard. He came back up and gave his leg a sharp tweak, straightening it back to normal. "AAAAGH! DIEU!" He screamed. He glanced down at his leg through pain slitted eyes and exhaled heavily. He reached to the left and retrieved something she hadn't noticed. It was a trench coat. It was also stained with blood, but more in tact than the rest of his clothes. He jerked one of the pockets open and retrieved a cigarette and a lighter. He took a deep drag as soon as it was lit.
"Y' know, chere," he said, addressing her. and turning slightly. "It's not all dat polite t' stare at people who're in pain." "Ah, er, Ah'm sorry." She sat for a moment. "Who did that ta you?" "Our wonderful host, Nathaniel Essex."
Rogue gasped. "Juggernaut kidnapped meh for Sinister?!"
"Oui."
Well, Ah'm screwed, rogue thought.

AN/ yeah another short one. Oh well. I will give you Kurt shaped cookies if you review! And sorry for the whole gory part there, I didn't expect it to go that way.
