Jail Break
Gambit had waited patiently for his companion to go to sleep. He still was going to escape with her but if he were going to turn on the charm for Eliassa another pretty female would defiantly be a turn off. He took the bobby pin he borrowed from a girl's hair, picked the lock, and freed his self.
"I knew he was gonna leave me here." Rogue said to the silence. She wanted freedom, but even in freedom she was always running away. Running from her past, Mystique, mutants, humans, and anything else that dared to chase her. In that time she tried to make friends, but she was a girl then. To naive to see people for what they really are self preserving jerks and he was no different leaving her here all alone.
But it would be ok. She was always alone.
Gambit avoided the security cameras and trip wires easily since it wasn't his first time doing this. He made his way to floor 7 where Eliassa was on duty with the keys clasped around her belt. She turned upon hearing him.
"Back again Mr. LeBeau?"
"I'll always come back fer ya."
"You aren't trying to get away this time?"
"Not at all."
"Hmm I don't believe you. Maybe you should prove your … commitment to me."
"I'm ready ta prove more than tat. Lead te way mon Cherie."
As the blonde walked in front of him he struck her neck from behind causing her to go unconscious. He put her in a locker room where she could easily be found before taking her keys and freeing Storm.
The African woman looked sick with how much she trembled in his arms as he tried to steady her. Her body fully covered in thick sweat she closed her eyes on concentrated on the Professor. Eventually he replied telling her it would be ten minutes till evac.
"He says ten minutes."
"Tat's a long time trust me I know."
"We are going to need a distraction. Do you know how to turn these manacles off?"
"The dam powers everything here. Te only thang I can think of is over loadin it. Or finding a guard wit a master key like Zero."
"Zero?"
"He's a mutant tat works for Striker an lets jus say he never misses anything he shoots at ever unless he's told to."
"That is most unfortunate."
"I have an idea though. I know he'd shoot at me but yer new here. They'll wont ya alive so alls ya gotta do is walk to em. He comes out ta escort ya to ya cell then I'll knock em out jus like I did Eliassa. Problem is if Sabertooth gets wind of us were screwed."
"That might work. But we still will eventually need the distraction. I'll try to reach the Professor again and ask him to shoot at one of the dam turbines. That might do the trick."
"Alright but afta we get Zero's key I'm getting Rogue."
"Fine, we shall meet up towards the inner west wall."
Within four minutes they had took Zero's key and for safety precautions Gambit exploded Zero's guns after he took their power limiters off. After that they split up and as he headed back for Rogue he ran into Sabertooth.
"Escaping again are we?" he growled amused. Gambit did not have time to play with him so he simply charged the floor beneath Sabertooth then set a few random prisoners free. One of them thank God was telepathic. She easily subdued Sabertooth as her purple hair swished in the wind.
Seven minutes in, he reunited with Rogue. She looked quite surprised to see him as she sat on the floor. He pulled her to her feet telling her to follow him. Mutant after mutant were escaping down the halls, powerless or not trying to overwhelm the guards. Some were successful and some weren't. Rogue watched all this knowing most of them would be stuck here like she was. It was unfortunate that they all couldn't escape together. It's not that she liked any of them, but she knew more than most the feeling of being a caged animal.
At the west wall Striker was armed with a few of his human thugs.
"You aren't going anywhere . I am warning you. Take the girl back to the cell along with yourself. We've got plans for the both of you."
"Sorry ta disappoint but we aint goin back ta our cells."
"Then you leave me no choice." They raised their guns as a powerful gust of wind made tumbleweed of them.
"My friends this way." Storm pointed to the wall when it broke and a man with blue mutton chops came in. Striker turned in disbelief. He couldn't really be seeing James Howlett commonly known as Logan right in front of his eyes could he?
On closer inspection as he crawled closer to the wall he noticed the X on his shirt. One of his finest creations had run over to that pompous old man in New York. The one with the school for the 'gifted'. Mentally damning the Professor with all he had he watched as Storm, Gambit, and the girl escaped. Last to leave was Logan who growled at him before turning to leave.
"They win … for now."
