Hello again! So just a reminder; from now on it's TWO REVIEWS=ONE CHAPTER UPDATE. Just to make that very clear. So here we go:

Sam's POV:

I woke up chained to a wall. My hands and feet were all individually restrained by tight metal cuffs. I was in a prison cell.

How could I not have seen this coming? I asked myself. We think we're going to find Magneto in an old prison. Nope. Instead I get shoved into a prison cell and handcuffed to the wall.

"So you're awake." A woman said. "I didn't expect you to be coming around so soon. Toad hit you pretty hard."

"Yeah." I mumbled. My brain feelt woozy. Why is the woman sparkling? Is that my imagination?

"Don't worry if you feel a bit odd. I gave you a mild sedative, just enough to keep you from stirring up trouble. You shouldn't be able to use you powers for a couple of hours." The woman smiled.

I blinked, and I began to see things a little more clearly. "Frost."

"Oh, dear. I must have given you too much." Frost sighed. "That's all right. You're not going anywhere anytime soon."

I realized that Frost was sparkling because she was in her diamond form. That meant I couldn't read her mind. Although according to her, the drug kept me from using my powers.

I looked around the cell. Frost was sitting in a chair, obviously going to interrogate me. The cell door was solid metal, and almost certainly locked. I mentally tried to open it, but nothing happened.

"You can't use your powers, remember?" Frost said icily.

I cursed aloud.

"Oh, don't swear, dear." Frost said.

I let out a storm of curse words, all directed at the White Queen herself.

"Tut, tut." Frost said. "I guess I'll have to discipline you."
I tensed. Torture. I should have known this was coming.

"I've learned how to send you thoughts that will break you." Frost said.

It was then that I realized what I was up against. A trained, very powerful telepath who was determined to tear my mind apart.

Douglas's POV:

I could see a door marked "Prison Cells" down at the end of the hall, so I began walking towards that. Where better to put a mutant that in a cell? Sam would surely be there.

My claws were ready to tear out Toad's throat. How dare he hurt Sam! I would kill him with pleasure.

Then I stopped. That was the Griffin talking, the wild beast talking. That wasn't me, I would never kill someone. Reassured that I wasn't going mad, I continued onwards.

Then I heard Sam scream.
