Chapter 2: Rescue and Escape
Bayville College, Bayville, NY- May 13, 11:15 PM
Within a few minutes, Lance had forced open the locked doors by picking the lock to one of the buildings and looked around frantically, trying to remember where the stairs, or an elevator, was located.
"God, I wish this building wasn't so damn big, or that I remembered where anything is in this damn school!" exclaimed Lance angrily as he ran through the hallways of the college.
Bayville College is about 75 acres, and has 1 main building with dorms and other classrooms surrounding it. It also has four parking lots, multiple playing fields, some outlying buildings, an auditorium, and a separate cafeteria and recreation/gymnasium building. Lance soon discovered that he was in the main building, and found a flight of stairs that he remembered leading to the roof of the building.
"Finally!" exclaimed Lance as he ran up the flight of stairs as quickly as he could and emerged on the roof where he found something that made his face lose all color.
Kitty was lying on her back in a pool of blood and standing over her, gloating, was a giant of a man, who was at the moment laughing maniacally; his name was Sabretooth.
"What the hell do you think you've done!" screamed Lance as he ran to Kitty, touched her face gently, and then turned, eyes burning with anger, towards Sabretooth.
"Why did you hurt her?" yelled Lance to Sabretooth as he moved his arms into battle position, raising them into the air and aiming them towards Sabretooth.
"Oh, no reason, except to get my arch-rival, Wolverine, here because I know how much he cares about this pile of trash," replied Sabretooth viciously as he smirked, nodded his head towards the unconscious Kitty, and moved into battle position himself. As he did so his all-fur outfit- a tunic, leggings, a belt- rustled as he moved and his metal boots were also covered in. After throwing another smirk at Lance he brought his claws to the forefront and tensed his body in preparation for his charge, or to block Lance's charge.
When Sabretooth had finished preparing himself, Lance was unable to hold back his anger anymore and used his powers to create an opening in the roof underneath Sabretooth.
As Lance concentrated on widening the gap he rolled his eyes backward in his head and focused his mind. After focusing, he sent out more seismic waves through his outstretched arms and the ground, making sure that the waves ended up underneath Sabretooth. The small crack that had formed at first soon opened up into a huge chasm, and Sabretooth lost his balance and fell.
Sabretooth fell down to the first floor, screaming and snarling in rage, where all the rubble came raining down on top of him and buried him. Lance once more concentrated and closed the chasm, leaving a barely visible fracture line to show where the roof had been spilt. He then massaged his temples and rubbed his head vigorously to rid himself of the headache that came every time he used his powers.
'That's not going to keep him out long,' thought Lance as he stopped rubbing his forehead and focused his attention on Kitty. 'I have to get Kitty out of here as soon as possible and tend to her injury, (which he saw was a gash on her scalp), but first I need to stop that bleeding…'
He thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers and took off the vest he was wearing, tore it into as many thin strips as he could and carefully wrapped them around Kitty's head to keep the bleeding to a minimum.
'Where to take her?' thought Lance as he gently picked her up and careful to not disturb the injury in any way that could make it worse.
'I can't take her to the boarding house, everyone there, with the exception of Wanda, would just beat her up even more, and not to the Institute, because they all hate me and they'll think I was the one who did it. I know! I'll take her to Forge's house; I know I can trust him. He'll help me out,' thought Lance as he went back into the building, carefully avoiding the area where Sabretooth was buried in the rubble, and stopped in the parking lot, where he thought about the quickest way to Forge's house.
Feeling his responsibility to keep his charge safe, Lance ran towards Forge's house, carrying Kitty as gently and carefully as he was able to, after remembering the quickest route there, as his jeep was at the Boarding House.
