Yeah, so its been awhile... this is awkward. I decided to post the rest this weekend. Two chapters today - Monday, until it is over. ;)
My eyes flutter open as I realize that my feet are dragging on the ground. My hands are cuffed behind me back and there are two guards on either side of me, holding me tight. Naturally I begin to walk, since my feet were starting to hurt. What the heck is going on?
"Where are you taking me?"
"Shut up, you stupid mutant" One of them tells me. Okay, I have no sympathy for them now.
None of this adds up, granted I can't really do math very well. First that stupid battle between the X-Men, then ending up in the Acolytes, now here. The walls around us were metal and windows were probably bulletproof. It looked so familiar but… no. It can't be, I won't let it be. But it is. It's the underground S.H.I.E.L.D base. Now I really don't have sympathy for the people here.
We reach a large, open room. It was a rectangle, with metal covering the dirt above as well. There was a railing all around, as if there is a second floor. Soldiers were everywhere, and along the walls there was the worst sight of all; mutants. X-Men, Acolytes and the Brotherhood, all chained to the walls, both legs and hands.
Scott's glasses were off, and his eyes were covered with something so he couldn't open them. I looked around for the Jean girl, but she was nowhere to be found. Neither was Rogue, Wanda or Ice boy. Magneto was there, though, even though he attacked me.
Most of them were awake, and why they didn't try to escape is beyond me. I found Pietro among them, and his eyes were following me and he looked as though he would cry, but held it in.
The soldiers take me in the middle of the room and stop. From there, I was greeted with a punch in the stomach by one, which causes me to double over. Next is a kick in the face, which sends me head, spiraling back, but I was still standing.
"That's enough!" A male voice yells, and the soldiers head back to my sides as a man walks toward us. He had white hair and a white mustache.
"What are you doing with me?" I try to keep my voice from wavering.
He laughs.
"You, my dear, are for my boys! When Rogue and Wanda brought you here along with the rest of the mutants, we deemed you the prettiest. My men like you" His eyes were clouded with hunger. Oh god, I need to get out of this before it's too late.
"And if you resist, then we can always handcuff you. See, these cuffs are special; they are designed to cut off your powers. You would be powerless."
"What about the Professor, can't he-"
"Not if he wearing a helmet that amplifies his power. If he tries to take us down or make us think a different way, he'd be doing it to everyone here. Now, I think it's time my boys get a chance with you."
The two soldiers keep holding on to my hands, and another comes up to me. Were they going to do this so everyone can see? These men are disgusting! The third soldier puts his hands on my hips and kisses me. I try to back away, but won't let me. It was the most brutal and gross kiss of all time; it felt like a fish was making out with my face. There is no way I am going to get raped.
So I bit on his lip, which draws blood. He falls back and slaps me. My nose was starting to bleed. He gets closer again, and I kick him in the balls. I step on the left soldier's foot, which catches him off guard so I can hit him in the face with my elbow. He hits the ground, and I hit the right soldier with my elbow as well.
I jump over the handcuffs so my hands were in front of me now. More soldiers are nearing, but I don't have any energy. Where's Scott? He can give me some. I rush over to him, take the things off his eyes and tell him to shoot. He does and the power engulfs me.
Just as he closes his eyes again, a door to the left breaks open, and ice man comes. He points his hands at me and I do the same to him. We both shoot, him ice and me red energy much like Scotts. His ice was no match for me, and I send him to the ground, groaning but unconscious.
Soldiers were everywhere with their guns. All I could do was shoot randomly, watching them fall or disintegrate one by one. Soon there are none left, until Rogue comes in. It wasn't hard to take her out; she hadn't stolen anyone's powers recently.
Wanda was harder. I couldn't use my power against her and she was able to push me against the wall, right beside Kitty and Lance (what are the odds that they were beside each other?). I could feel her mess with the energy that was inside me. My body was burning, as if I were dying from the inside. Everything was fading in and out, but she made the mistake of getting closer to me.
I manage to move my leg and kick her in the face, sending her to the ground. I fall to the ground, gasping and feeling as though I couldn't breathe anymore.
"Are you okay?" Lance asks. I stand up, and smile at him weakly.
"I've been better… how do I get you guys out of these cuffs?"
I start to head toward the middle of the rectangle again, and more soldiers come in to surround me.
They all had guns, and before I could really respond, they shoot. I can't absorb bullets, which means I'm completely screwed.
I'm so dead.
