Tainting Repartee
Chapter Thirty-Six
The next morning Rogue stood up from the kitchen table; having just finished her breakfast.
"I can't believe we have to go to detention today," Kitty said as she stood up; plate in hand she brought it over to the dishwasher. Rogue yawned as she put her plate in the dishwasher. Her and the Professor hadn't finished the blueprints until two in the morning and now only five hours later she had to go to out.
"I wish I was in bed," Rogue muttered as the Professor and Storm enter the room.
"Are you girls ready to go?" he asked. Rogue glanced over at them; Charles had bags under his eyes.
"Professor, are you, like, okay?" Kitty asked.
"I did not get enough sleep last night. That is all, Kitty. Nothing for you to concern yourself over. Shall we?" he asked with a forced smile.
"Do we have to?" Kitty asked as she walked towards him.
"I'm afraid so," he said as Rogue walked over to the table. She reached down and grabbed her bag off the ground. She looked in the front pocket.
'Yup, communicator's still there,' she thought relieved. "Prof, can we talk for a minute before we go?" Rogue asked.
"Of course," he said. "We'll meet you by the car in a moment," he said to Storm; she nodded. Rogue took a sit at the table as Storm and Kitty left the room. "Yes, Rogue?" he asked.
"I need you to promise me something," she said.
"Rogue, I understand that you are worried about Magneto but we have taken all the precautions we can and-"
"And I already told you I don't think it's gonna be enough. So, I need you to promise me that if-"
"It will-"
"If Magneto does kidnap me that you won't let life here stop," she said strongly.
"That we not be necessa-"
"You make sure everyone goes to school, and ya try to make Kitty and Kurt have a little fun," she said.
"If you would only allow me to spea-" he said. His face was losing it's normal neutral expression. He was clearly becoming agitated
"It'll be tough on them; but their worlds' can not fall apart cause I ain't here," she said cutting him off again.
"Rogue, please stop," he shouted .
"Promise me," she shouted louder.
"Rogue," he shouted again.
"Please," she yelled.
"I promise," he shouted. "... Alright, I promise," he said softer.
"Everything alright in here?" Logan asked. They both glanced up at Logan; who was standing in the doorway.
"Everything is fine," Charles said; he sounded exhausted.
"Thank you," she said. Charles turned back to look at her. "That all I wanted to say. I told you everything else I can last night," she said.
"Rogue, nothing is going to happen today," he said softly.
"I really hope you're right, cause if Magneto manages to get to me out of Bayville without you following behind; you are not gonna be able to find me. Not unless he wants you to and he ain't gonna want you to," she said. "We should go. Me and Kitty can't afford to be late," she said.
"After you," he sighed as she stood up.
Rogue let out a sigh as she glanced out the window. She had been in dentition for three hours now and Magneto hadn't rushed into the room to kidnap her yet. The more time passed the more she was able to relax. There was only a half an hour left till dentition was over. But for her it couldn't end soon-
"Listen up, everyone," Ms. Ginos the teacher running dentition said. "Today, I have a little social gathering to attend. So, consider it you're lucky day, you all get to leave early," she said. Her statement was met with a few happy exclamations. Rogue closed the textbook she had been reading. "Now, whatever it is you did to get this punishment, my advice, don't do it again. You're dismissed," she said before all of the students got up. Rogue and Kitty both packed up their stuff.
"Alright," Kitty said happily as they headed out of the room.
"We still gotta wait for Prof to get here no matter what," Rogue pointed out as she put her backpack on.
"Yeah, but, like, having less dentition is always totally awesome. I'm just gonna run to the bathroom," she said with a smile.
"I'll go see if Prof's here. Met ya outside?" she asked. Kitty nodded before they headed in separate directions. Rogue took a deep breath of fresh air as she got outside. 'No sign of Prof yet,' she thought as she looked around. Her eyes focused on a silver car parked to her left. 'But Max's car is still here,' she thought with a sigh.
She glanced out onto the street; on the side of the road the Professor needed to use to reach the school there were cars lined up as far as she could see in both directions.
'They're gonna be late,' she thought annoyed as she took a seat on the steps. She let out a sigh and waited...
Five minutes passed and as she glanced upon the traffic; it didn't seem to be moving at all.
'I wonder what's taken Kitty so long,' she thought as she stood up. She reentered the building and headed into the bathroom she knew Kitty would go to. She gasped as she entered; Kitty was laying on the floor.
"Kitty," she exclaimed as she ran over to her and kneed by her roommates side. She placed her hand on Kitty's should and shook her slightly. "Kitty, kitty," she called out. But it was no use; she wouldn't wake up. She placed her hand over Kitty's heart. 'Thank god,' she thought as she felt a pulse. '… Fuck, Magneto's here somewhere. What the fuck am I gonna do?' she asked herself as she glanced around the room.
"Kitty, I am so sorry but I need your powers," she said before She quickly shed her glove and placed her bare hand on Kitty's cheek. Her eyes widened in fear as she felt no transfer occur. 'What?' she asked panicked. Tears formed in the corner of her eyes as she waited for something to happen; but nothing did. This was the first time she had ever touched her best friend's skin without hurting her and she wasn't even awake. Rogue took a deep breath.
'It's not just Magneto I can touch. He turns off my powers. How the fuck can he do that?' she asked herself. She took deep breaths. '… I need a plan now. I can panic later when I'm home... if I'm home,' she thought as she put her glove back on. 'Okay... okay,' she thought as she took deep breaths.
'Magneto can turn off my powers. So, it's gotta be some kind of machine that's doing it. It's can't be on him cause I've seen him strip before and I would've noticed something like that so. The car... It's gotta be in the car,' she realized.
'Or somewhere else,' she thought with a deep breath. 'If it ain't there then I'm fucked no matter what. So, I just gotta assume... I need to get rid of the car... I need Kurt's help,' she realized as she pulled at her backpack. She reached in the front pocket and took out the her communicator. "Hello?" she called into it. "Hello?"
"Rogue, everything okay?" Scott asked.
"No, Magneto's here at the school. I just found Kitty on the floor; she unconscious. You have to find, Prof, tell him what's going on. I'm pretty sure he stuck in traffic right now," she said.
"Rogue, hang in there. We're on our way," Scott said
"Make sure Kurt's with you," she added before she put it back in her bag. 'Okay, assuming, I can get rid of the car. I'm gonna need to absorb Max. Kissing him wou-... He's gonna notice too fast. I need to...' she started to think as she glanced at her hand. 'I need a pair of scissors,' she thought as she stood headed towards the door, but turned back asshe felt a surge of guilt about leaving her teammate.
"Sorry, Kitty," she muttered before she exited the bathroom. 'Ms. Ginos used a pair earlier,' she thought. 'Where did she-' she started to ask before her mind showed her a flash; she had put them in the top draw of the desk.
Rogue ran back to the classroom and up to the desk; opening the draw she grabbed the scissors. She put them in her backpack's front pocket. She ran to a window and glanced out.
'I don't see him,' she thought before taking a deep breath. "He's gotta be in the building then... Okay, so now what?" she asked herself.
"You come with me." She quickly turned around to see Magneto standing just outside the doorway. "Good morning, Anna," he said with a smile.
"Hello, Max," she said quietly. 'Girl, you need to stall him,' she thought.
"How are you, my girl?" he asked.
"I'm about to be kidnapped again, so I don't really know," she said as he walked up to her. "How are you?" she asked as she folded her arms over her chest. "Still bored?" she asked bitterly as he put his arms on her shoulders.
"Not now, no," he said as he studied her face. "Anna, are you alright?" he asked concerned as his hand cupped her cheek; she felt her face flush. How could one touch from him always do that to her?
"I didn't get enough sleep last night," she said honestly. Her eyes closed as he rubbed her shoulder. "I am not in the mood for this today. You wouldn't consider just leaving would you?" she asked hopefully as she gazing into his eyes. He chuckled softly. "That's a no huh?" she asked.
"I'm afraid so," he said with a smirk.
"Lair," Rogue muttered. He chuckled again as he leaned in to kiss her. As his tongue entered her mouth she saw a flash of him holding her younger self on his lap. She tired to push the image back. Kissing would give her them so much more time; she had to keep him busy. But he must have felt her hesitation because be pulled back from the kiss. He stared at her again for a moment; an eyebrow raised. "I'm tired, that's all," she said in response to his expression.
"Well, then you can sleep in car and after you have consumed a very appetizing lunch I'm certain your energies will be restored," he said with a smile before he gave her another light peck on the lips; his hand still massaging her shoulder.
"That actually sounds really nice," she muttered as she closed her eyes again. A part of her just wanted to fall into his arms, let him take care of her.
"You're surprised?" he asked as she leaned her head on his chest. "You and I have had enjoyed one another's company before," he said.
"I know it's just...," she started to say as she felt his hand on her chin; he lifted her chin to face him.
"Are you certain it's just fatigue, Anna?" he asked as he gazed into her eyes. She sighed.
"There is something I just- I don't feel like-" she started to say. 'Wait, if I-' she started to think. "It's about my Dad," she sighed; realizing that talking about it would give her family more time to get to the school.
"Sabortooth?" he asked surprised; he moved his hands to rest on her shoulders. "It's been quite some time since you referred to him by that title," he said.
"Yeah, it has," she whispered.
"What brought this on?" he asked concerned.
"I saw him the other day when we were driving home in your car," she said.
"Yes?" he asked; encouraging her to keep speaking.
"Kitty and I stopped at this bar," she started to say.
"Why possessed you to do that?" he asked confused.
"We wanted to use a phone; let everyone know that we were alive. We were gone awhile. I knew Prof would be assuming the worst; worried out of his mind," she said.
"Go on," he said.
"So, things went a little crazy in there. Some guys had problems with us being mutants, and the bartender had a gun. It all happened so fast but Dad got shot and Me and Kitty were driving away and he had just taken a bullet for me. I couldn't just leave them," she said.
"Of course not," he said.
"Kitty was yelling at me that I couldn't Sabertooth into the car, but I had to, you know?" she asked.
"He's your father. It doesn't matter that the two of you haven't talked in years. He had to take that bullet for you and you couldn't leave him behind. I see fear in your gaze. Anna, if the X-Men can not understand that bond you have with Victor. If Wolverine can not understand that bond then perhaps the X-Men are no the family you have been seeking all your life," he said.
"I don't," she muttered quietly. "When ever anyone else see's their parent no one else has to hold meeting to discuss the conversation; just me... and Kurt," she added. "I don't know. I told Logan that Victor's my father," she said.
"How did he react?" he asked.
"He hasn't yet. We haven't talked about it," she said.
"There should be nothing to discuss. You cannot help who raised you. He should not hold that against you. You did not ask to be adopted by them," he said.
'You would know,' she thought bitterly.
"Anna?" he asked.
"Victor said, when we were in the car, that he used to sent me cards and that he left me numbers to call him, so we could stay in touch and everything, but I don't remember ever getting anything like that from him. Not back then. So, I don't know if he's lying or if Irene kept them from me," she said. "Either way I'm gonna get another reason ta hate one of my parents. I just- I ain't looking forward to finding out who it is," she finished.
"I'm sorry," he said; his hand squeezing her shoulder. She glanced up at him; an idea occurring to her.
"Why? It's not like it's your fault I had to live with any of them, right?" she asked with a smirk. She studied his facial expression; his smile faltered. Only for a second but she caught it.
"Of course, not," he said with a smile. "That would be-" he started before his eyes widened. "Is that the XM-Velocity?" he asked in disbelief. Rogue quickly turned her head to glance out the window. 'Damn it, I was supposed to have her out of Bayville before the x-men became aware,' he thought as he saw the plane out in the distance; hovering over the traffic he had created. "Come," he ordered as he grabbed her wrist.
"And what about my family?" she asked as he pulled her out of the room.
"What about them; aside from the unbelievable annoyance they are about to become?" he asked irate as he pulled her down the hallway.
"This is the first time they're gonna know that you kidnapped me," she said as he felt her fight against his grip. He tightened his grip but only enough to keep her from escaping; he didn't want to hurt her. "Do you know how worried they're gonna be? Do you know how worried Prof will be? How powerless he's gonna feel in his own home; having no way to find me. Having to wait for you to bring me back. He's not even gonna be sure that you will bring me back," she said as he marched her out of the building; although he heard her words he wasn't really listening. He had other concerns to deal with.
"But you know that I will return you to them; Monday morning," he said as he dragged her towards the car. 'I must take this confrontation, else where,' he thought.
"But what I'm-" she started to say as he opened the car's front door.
"Get in," he ordered as she took her backpack off.
"But-" she tried to say as he watched her turn to face him.
"If we do not leave now I can not guarantee that this establishment will stay standing," he said as he gently pulled her into the seat. He used his powers to trap her there. He heard her sigh as he closed the door. Quickly, he got into the driver's seat and started to car. He pulled out of the parking spot and drove out onto the raced down the road; going eighty miles an hour. Not that his car stood a chance of outracing a jet.
'Damn it.' He was just supposed to cause a little traffic to delay Charles; knock out anyone else in the school to keep them from interfering and pick up Anna; taking the car that was already waiting for him at the school. It was a simple plan. He had used similar strategies in the past. 'I do not understand what went wrong,' he thought to himself as he glanced out the rear view mirror. He could see the XM-Velocity it was still a short distance from the school; he watched it shift directions; flying towards them. 'I need a new plan,' he thought to himself annoyed.
"Where are we going?" Rogue asked.
"Somewhere this fight will not draw the media's attention," he answered.
"So what? Like the woods or something?" she asked.
'Not a bad idea,' he thought to himself as he drove. 'Only a few more miles until we reach-,' he thought. "Yes, precisely," he replied.
"Max, I-" she started to say.
"Anna, I need a few minutes to think. I was not expecting a confrontation. Now, I must think of a way to keep this fight from destroying the facade. Would you please be quiet for a moment?" he asked.
"Fine," she sighed quietly.
"Thank you," he uttered.
Charles Xavier sat in the XM-Velocity; searching for Rogue's mind; he had heard her call out to him a moment but had yet to make contact. His X-Men had picked him up from his car only five minutes ago informing him that Magneto was after Rogue again.
"Professor," Hank said from the pilot seat of the XM-Velocity "I have them in our sights," he said.
"Good, Hank. Keep following but do not get too close," he ordered.
"Charles, I could get out and get closer on my own," Storm said from her seat behind him.
"That will not be necessary," he said as he placed his hands on his temples. The loud whispers coming from his students and colleagues were keeping him from being able to concentrate. "Everyone please, I know you are all worried about Rogue, but I need quiet to communicate with her," he said. The plane fulled with Scott, Jean, Kurt, Spike, Mr. Beast and Storm grew silent. 'Rogue?' he projected into her mind. 'Can you hear me?' he asked.
'Yeah. Is Kitty with you? Is she okay?' she asked.
'I sent Logan and some of the students to find her. I'm certain she will be fine,' he answered.
'Good. Kurt's with you, right?' she asked.
'Yes, of course,' he said.
'Okay then here's what you gotta do; I need you to project these five images into Kurt's mind,' she thought. He was hit with an onslaught of images; Four different roads; and then a beach. 'This is where he's gotta teleport me and the car too-'
'Rogue, slow down, please,' he said.
'Sorry, Prof, I don't have a lot of time. If this doesn't work than Magneto is kidnapping me aga- and god knows when he's gonna bring me back,' she thought; even her thoughts had a panicked tone to them.
'Rogue, we have other options,' he said calmly. 'Is Magneto wearing his helmet?' he asked.
'No, but I don't think it's gonna make a difference.'
'I would like to try. With Jean's help we may be able to stop this battle before it begins,' he said.
'Okay, it would be great it that works, but I need you to make sure Kurt's ready in case it doesn't,' she said.
'What is the point to tel-' he started to ask.
'If I get to go home today I'll explain later. When I say now; have Kurt teleport into the driver's seat of the car and then to the first location, okay? Please?' she asked.
'Alright,' he answered. 'Show me the images again,' he said.
A few minutes later Magneto pulled the car off of the road and into a heavily wooded area; he had to greatly reduce the speed of the car to keep them from crashing into something.
"Can I talk now?" she asked bitterly. He did not respond; he merely continued concentrating on driving. "So, where's the plane gonna land?" Rogue asked.
"That is Charles' problem, not mine," he muttered as he carefully drove in between the trees.
"And what if a news helicopter sees it hovering and comes closer to see why a plane is-" Rogue started to ask.
"Alright," he growled; out of the corner of his eye he saw he wince. "You've made a good point," he said calmer as he caught sight of a clearing; he drove towards it. The space as far as he could guess looked about thirty- forty feet wide. 'That should suffice,' he thought.
"So, what's the plan?" she asked softly.
"We will drive to that clearing. I get out and assure that you family can not follow us; without seriously hurting anyone of them Then we leave," he told her.
"That's it?" she asked. He chuckled.
"It's basic strategy, Anna. A simple plan is always ideal. The fewer details there are to one's plan the less chance there is for something to go horribly wrong," he told her.
"Right," she sighed. "But the emergence was-" she started to say.
"A convoluted mess in terms of strategies. So utterly complicated that it needs constant maintenance to keep it from falling apart. Case in point; this chase. If I did not have to worry about the facade I would have stopped your families' pursuit at the school. Instead, we must endure through this," he said.
"Or you could let me out of the car and just drive away. As long as I'm free they won't chase ya," she pointed out. He stared at her through the rear view mirror for a second. "What? You wanna simple solution? Let me go now and call the institute later. I won't hang up on you this time, I promise," she said as he pulled the car into the far right of the clearing. He had been right; there should be enough room for both his car and the XM-Velocity.
"We're already here," he said as he stopped the car. "Besides they are certain activities we can not engage in over the phone," he said as he placed his hand on her cheek. He watched her take a deep breath. He glanced up. The XM-Velocity was overhead; starting to land. 'We have a moment,' he thought before he leaned in and kissed her. She moaned softly as he moved his free hand to her shoulder.
It was then he felt it; a telepath's attempt to enter his mind. He couldn't help but smirk against her lips. 'I'm afraid, Charles, I have too much practice against telepaths for that tactic to work,' he thought before he used sheer will power to ex-spell Charles from his mind. "Wait here," he told her.
"Like, I have a choice," she said bitterly. He chuckled before he leaned in and gave her a quick peck.
"This will be over in a moment," he said.
'Not as soon as you think,' Rogue thought as she watched him get out of the car. 'Prof?' she called out.
'Ye- yes, Rogue?' he answered.
'You, okay?' she asked concerned.
'I attempted to enter Magneto's mind.'
'And it didn't work,' she thought with a sigh. 'Then we gotta go with my plan. Is Kurt ready? Does he know each location?' she asked.
'Yes,' he answered as Rogue watched Magneto walk forward; finally he took his hand off the car.
'Now,' she told him; within a second her brother was in the driver's seat; teleporting them and the car away.
'What?' Magneto thought in disbelief as he turned to see his car and Rogue were no longer there. His hands balled at his sides.
"X-Men attack," he heard Mr Summer's yelled out. He turned his attention back towards the XM- Velocity. He was no longer in the mood to humor anything. He took control over each the X-Men's electrochemical signals; freezing them in place.
"I can't move," Spike shouted out in a panic.
"I believe that none of us can," Mr. McCoy said.
"Everyone needs to stay calm," Scott said.
'Perhaps, I should cultivate these abilities. They're quite useful,' he thought to himself.
"Magnus," Charles said strongly. Max watched him come down the plane's ramp.
"Charles," he said dryly.
"This must stop. She is only seventeen years old; a child. What you want from her is-" Charles started to say.
"Is what both of us desire. Or as a child is her opinion of no concern of yours?" Magneto asked.
"Rogue is young; what you ask of her is too much for someone her age to handle," he said.
"By the time I was seventeen I had gotten married and was an adult providing for my family. It is society's view on what age a child becomes an adult that has changed; not what a person is actually capabl-" Magneto started to say until he heard a crash in the tree above. He glanced up; Rogue and Mr. Wanger were falling from forty feet in the air to the ground; hitting various tree branchs on her way down.
His eyes widened in fear as his instants took over. He flew up and grabbed her out of the air into his arms. He also took hold Kurt's body and gently lowered him to the ground; placing him with the other X-Men. His eyes met Charles as he he feet touched the dirt; he saw surprise in the man's expression. He laid Rogue down on the ground; his back turned to all the X-Men.
"What happened?" she muttered as he eyes fluttered open.
"Your brother needs to work on his landings," he said with a smile as he glanced up. Rogue laughed softly as they both looked at the broken branch.
"You saved me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said as their eyes met again.
"Thank you," she muttered as her eyes move to his lips; before quickly returning to his eyes. He smirked as he leaned down and kissed her.
'She's absorbing me,' he thought in disbelief as he felt her hand on his cheek. He tried to pull back from the kiss but she had a strong grip on his face and managed to keep the connection for another few seconds. He grabbed at her hand before he felt a surge of pain in stomach. He was caught by surprise as she used a bolt of lightening to push him away from her; about twenty feet.
"Rogue," Charles exclaimed.
"I'm okay," she said quickly. Magneto glanced back at Rogue; who was breathing heavily. Their eyes made contact as she lifted her hand up; electrify firing out of it towards him. He easily dissolved the charge. He could have sent it back at her but he didn't want to knock her unconscious.
'Not when things are finally starting to get interesting,' he thought. "And what will you do now that you have absorbed me, Anna?" he asked as he stood up off the ground. "You think you can use my powers to defeat me?" he asked as he took a step towards her. He watched her rush to her feet. "Tell me, how many years have I been the master of magnetism?" he asked as she held her hand up: readying herself, no doubt, to let loose another charge of electricity his way.
"Forty-two," she said. He couldn't help but smile. There was no hesitation in her reply; he really did love that about her.
"I know that you have contemplated the uses of these abilities before and you are a quick study, my girl. But even you are not that quick," he warned as he stepped closer. "Fight me and yo-" he started to warn as his gaze move onto her hand; where he noticed a square had been cut out of the base of her palm; showing bare skin. His eyes widen. "You planned this?" he asked her in disbelief; his eyes meeting her again.
"Yeah," she said softly; she was still out of breath. His girl, his pupil, had just utilized all the skills he had taught her in a strategy against him. Pride overtook him; he needed to know everything.
"How could you have know that the X-Men would arrive in time?" he asked.
"Eric, I not gonna stand here and play your fucking mind games," she said.
"Take a look to your right," he ordered sternly. She didn't have to; she knew full well that he had more than half her family at his mercy. "And tell me whether you are in a position to deny me answers," he said.
"Rogue, you don't have to-" the Professor's started to say.
"Charles, our conversation is over. This is between myself and Rogue now. You can either watched silently as your students have very wisely chosen to do. Or you coul-"
"I had a communicator. I called them," Rogue yelled; calling for his attention; he could hear the fear in her voice.
"Was that so difficult?" he asked with a smirk as he look back at her.
"You tell me? You suck at answering questions," she said. He chuckled as he took another step towards her.
"And you can lower that hand of yours. The buff is no longer necessary. We both know you will not attack again. Not while I have so many hostages, " he said with a smirk. He watched the anger in her eyes as she moved her hand to her side. "Walk me through it. How did you know I was in the building? I want to know every detail," he said. He watched her eyes moved onto Charles'. "Anna," he shouted as he used his powers to shake Charles' wheel chair.
"I went to the bathroom to see what was taking Kitty so long and I saw she was unconscious," she said annoyed as she turned back to look at him. "I tried to absorb her but it didn't work. That's when I knew you were there and I figured that whatever it was you used to stop my powers from working-"
"Mutant inhibitor field," he supplied.
"Whatever," she said dismissively. "I figured the inhibitor field was in the car. So, I needed to get rid of it. That's when I used my communicator. And you saw what happened. I don't have to explain every fucking detail," she said.
"You will if I say you do," he warned. "You would not want me to-"
"Do what? Kill them?" she asked mockingly. "Hello, they're mutants. And don't you have a this lifelong mission to protect mutants from whatever the fuck is out there threatening our kind? You ain't gonna seriously hurt any of them. You'll knock'em unconscious or scare the shit out of them. But every single person here's gonna survive this. That's what matters," she yelled.
"Agreed," he smirked as he took another step forward; he paused for a moment as he sensed an motorcycle heading in this direction. 'Ah, Wolverine; I wondering where he was,' he thought before he heard Rogue say.
"In hostage situations don't-"
"I already agreed with you, Anna," he said. "It seems we are at a bit of a standstill," he said; Rogue was glancing behind him; he could hear the motorcycle now. He turned around to see Wolverine riding towards him. He could help but chuckle when he saw that Wolverine had his claws out. 'What use would those be against me?' he asked himself with a smirk.
Within a moment he dismantled the motorcycle and lifted Wolverine in the air. He felt resistance against his control over Wolverine's body. He turned around to see his girl staring intently at the man. Magneto chuckled as he walked closer to her.
"Having difficulties, Anna?" he asked with a smirk. "And you are only attempting to take control over one the X-Men I have taken captive. Imagine if you were fighting me on all seven fronts. I was only going to place him with the others. Nothing to tire yourself out over," he said as he felt her loosen her grip on Wolverine's body. "That's it," he coached as he moved Wolverine to the ground; next to Storm. "Good girl," he said he placed his hand on her arm. He was caught by surprise when she teleported them away.
I know clifhangers suck; but I started to write the next scene and when realized how long it was to be. I figured this would be a good place to end this chapter. So, I love you all for reading. Please review? :)
