I know, I know, I am a terrible author for not updating. :( I've been having trouble getting back into it, but hopefully the next chapter won't take that long
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story.
Rogue laid in the corner of her cell curled up. Her arms and legs were shaking violently as voices screamed in her head that she could not block out. At the moment, she would do anything to get out of the cell and be back at the mansion in her room with her friends.
She heard the door open, but refused to look up. 'Please don't let it be him again.' Rogue thought to herself. In the back of her head she could hear Logan shouting at her to not act weak.
"Rogue?" She heard Remy's voice say in panic as he raced into her cell and sat by her. As soon as he touched her arm, she jerked away. 'That son of a bitch.' Remy thought angrily as he watched Rogue try to hide the tears forming in her eyes. "What did he do to y'?" Remy asked her in a calm gentle voice.
"He took meh inta this lab room and forced meh ta absorb Carol. She hates meh, she says it is mah fault for everythin'." Rogue whimpered and rested her head against her knee's.
"Don't worry. I'll get y' outta here. I promise." Remy vowed to her, but she did not look up.
"Carol says you are a liar and will leave us here." Rogue whispered.
"Well Gambit don' care what Carol says, I'll get y' outta here after I beat the shit outta Sinister." Remy growled as he stood up and headed for the exit of the cell.
"You won't be able to stop him. No one can. Soon every mutant is going to be sucked into this little leech." Carol took over Rogue for a brief second, before Rogue was able to lock her out again.
"Everyone has a weakness." Remy mutter and stepped out of the cell. He knew he wouldn't be able to get past the Nasty Boys and Sinister if he took Rogue at the instant. He would have to come back for her after they were gone. He looked across to see Jean sleeping in the cell across from him and a small smile came across his lips.
"And dere's Sinister's weakness." Remy murmured to himself as he left the room in a hurry.
Hellfire Club- Lower Basement
"So, was this your plan all along?" John growled at the other teens as he tried to break away from the restraints that held him against the brick wall.
"We thought he would have faced us on his own instead of having other people go against us." Lorna replied in an annoyed tone. She hated the collar around her neck. It made her feel like an animal. 'He has gone too far.' She thought to herself bitterly.
"Is there anyway out of here?" Bobby asked as he looked up at the large ceiling above them. "Maybe a hair pin?" He asked.
"Why did you look at me when you asked that?" Pietro glared at Bobby.
"He was just asking a question. And knowing you, you probably would have one in your hair." Wanda snarled.
"I-would-not!" Pietro defended himself.
"Would you all just bloody shut up?" Psylocke yelled at them. The teens immediately went quiet and wondered how they could not have seen her in the room. She was chained to the other side and had black circles under her eyes from lack of sleep.
"Oh my god! Miss. Braddock! What are you doing here?" Bobby asked her.
"You know her?" Lorna asked him.
"She was our teacher for a while." John mumbled and turned his head away. He remembered getting into lots of trouble and having to stay for detention in her class. 'Of all the teachers, why her? But, at least it's not as bad as Mystique.' He thought to himself.
"Ororo was captured by the Hellfire Club and brainwashed into thinking she is Emma's sister. I tried to convince her that she isn't, but Emma had me thrown in here. She is going to use Ororo for a weapon I heard. If the X-Men come to try and rescue her, they will have Ororo attack and destroy them." Betsy replied.
"Wait, Emma? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Bobby asked the group and leaned his head against the wall behind him.
"That's the woman Magneto hired to spy on the X-Men in Paris. She also had that sick obsession with Scott, but that could have been Mystique making it up." John stated to the group as they heard a door open.
"I didn't make it up." Mystique announced as she and Magneto entered the room. "What's the matter John, run into a little problem?" She taunted the brown haired teen, who glared at her.
John rolled his eyes at Mystique and glanced over to see Wanda. "No, I think I'm good." He said, causing Wanda to look over at him. "I got a really nice view." He winked at her.
"I got to say the same. That and you were really good last night." Wanda smirked at John. She knew what game he was trying to play. He wanted to annoy Magneto, which she had no problem with. If she couldn't hex him across the country, then she could annoy him.
"You haven't even gotten the main show yet." John replied seductively until Magneto interrupted.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Pietro muttered as he turned his head the other way.
"That is enough. If you say one more word, I'll kill you." Magneto growled at Pyro, who grinned.
"What? Don't you want me as your future-son-in-law?" John asked. A few seconds later he felt the wall behind him begin to shake and knew it was time to shut up.
"Why don't you stop being a coward and let us face you? Or are you afraid?" Lorna glared at her father, who turned to look at her.
"I have much more important matters to attend to all over the world. I can not allow you to interrupt me on my quest. Tonight, Emma is going to whip out your minds and you will be taking orders from me." Magneto stated and turned to walk out.
"You son of a bitch!" Wanda shouted and tried to break out of her restraints. "You're not going to get away with this." She growled as the door closed, but she continued staring at the door.
X-Mansion
Logan growled as the door bell rang again. 'I swear ta god, if this is the pizza guy again I'm going to gut him.' He thought to himself. All he wanted to do was go off to find Ororo, but every time he tried something or someone would interrupt him.
He opened the door to find a woman dressed in black, wearing dark shades, and had her hair tied back. "Nice to meet you Logan, I am Sage." Tessa said to Logan.
"What the hell you want?" Logan asked, not caring if he sounded rude to the stranger.
"I have been an inside spy into a group called the Hellfire Club for years. They are the ones that took Storm and are trying to brainwash her." Sage reported to him.
"What?" He yelled, his hands clenching into fists. "Where are they?" He demanded.
"I'll take you to them. I know of ways getting in there without being caught." Sage told him and turned to leave. Logan followed behind her, shutting the door to the mansion as he left.
"I ain't afraid if they see me. If they give me trouble." He popped his claws out. Sage didn't bother turning around. She already knew about his claws and healing factor so it didn't shock her.
"Lets see how those claws do against Magneto." Sage said and gave a small smile when she heard the claws retract.
"Fine, show me how ta get in. After that, I'm going to hunt down and kill whoever touched Ororo." He said the last part to himself.
Scott slammed the door to his office shut and sat down in his chair. He folded his elbows on the desk and rested his head in the palms of his hands. "How could I have not known it was her?" He asked himself and shook his head.
After learning that Madelyne Pyror. was not Jean it tore him up. Once again, he had failed her. The phone began to ring and slowly came back to his senses and picked up receiver. There was nothing for him to do until the Professor scanned Madeline's mind and found out where the real Jean was. 'Who knows how long that could take.' He thought to himself.
"Hello, this is Scott Summers . . . " He began to say in a dull voice.
"Scotty, I know where Jean is. I'll send de directions to Cerebro." Remy said on the other line and hung up before Scott could answer.
"Damnit." He cursed. He hadn't know Gambit for that long and didn't know if this was some sort of game he was pulling. 'But what if it isn't? It's worth the risk. It is for her.' He thought to himself and decided to contact the Professor and tell him before he left.
End of Chapter 10
I know, this is short and wasn't done well. The next chapter will have more action in it. That is for sure. And it won't take forever to be posted. I can't believe it's been a month :(
Note: in the comics, they are splitting Remy and Rogue up. Remy will be leaving X-Men for who knows how long. We can't let this happen. Please sign the petition inside my profile to save our Cajun and Romy!
