Rogue's Love For A Wolverine(COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

It took some time, but together as a team Logan and Rogue managed to get Victor back to base Headquarters and Piotr met them with heavy restraints to prevent Victor from escaping. They also put him in a containment cell to further protect anyone from being hurt by Victor. Victor was also blessed with quick healing, so only a short time of Rogue taking her hands off of him he came around.
" Wow. Way to have your girlfriend do your dirty work Jimmy!" Victor said still slightly groggy.
" Go to Hell Victor!" Rogue said.
" Easy Rogue." Logan touched her shoulder. " Let's find out what he wants.
" Yes, Mr.Creed, why have you attacked my team?" Charles asked.
" I just wanted the girl. But Jimmy had to show up and ruin my plans."
" And what are your plans? Who is this guy?" Nick Fury asked.
" He's Logan's half brother. But he's on Magnetos side." Piotr said.
" I see. And what did you want with the girl?"
" Just to make her disappear, so she can't be used against us. Though I was going to have some fun with her first." He smiled devilishly at her.
She was so repulsed she dry heaved. Covering her mouth she tried to regain her composier.
"You're sick Victor!" She growled. " Stop Rogue it's not worth it." Logan tried to steer her away. He then turned and got in Victor's face." What does Erik want with us?"
Nick Fury stepped in, " Wolverine, let me have a chat with Mr.Creed."
Logan felt the power in Fury and chose to go to Rogue.
Fury got in Victor's face as Logan had, but in s very calm but menacing voice he said," Now, Mr.Creed, I have some news for you, this young woman, she is not as big a threat as you think, she's nothing compared to what's coming. "
" What are you talking about? She's dangerous! She can kill and absorb powers to use against us! She's a very big threat!"
" So that's the play? Wipe out one of our biggest weapons? Well, I suppose I can understand the threat then, but be assured Mr.Creed, WE have a very special surprise for your boss, this girl right here?" Pointing to Rogue," The least of your worries."
" Who is this joker?" Victor asked." SHE'S a very big threat!"
" Oh, just you wait to see what we have up our sleeves." Fury said.
" What's Magneto up to Victor?" Logan asked.
" You will have to kill me if you think I'm going to tell you. Oh, and good luck trying that without her." He nodded toward Rogue." You know he can track me, he'll come for you all just to get me out. It's just a matter of time."
Rogue rushed at the containment cell.
" I could've killed you you son of a bitch! You're only here because of Logan!"
" Feisty! I still like you, such fire you have! But , honey, you should've killed me when you had the chance. Because when HE gets here, you're mine!" He growled at her, drew his claws and scratched the heavy duty plexiglass cell.
" You WILL NOT threaten one of our team without repercussions! I brought a few toys of my own! Turn on the gas. Knock him out, he's not giving us anything. " Nick said to Piotr who in turn went to a large valve releasing a gas that would knock Victor out for a day."
" I am not sure how I feel about your toys Director, but he is a very dangerous man."
" I understand, and you asked that for now he not be harmed, this was my alternative. "
" Very well. For now I approve."
" Thank you Professor. " Nick said respectfully.
" We must gather, Victor is correct, Erik will likely come on the offensive to free him. We must bring in the rest of the team, amp up security at the school. I want the children on curfew, in their rooms after dinner. We must keep them safe . Director would you mind bringing in your team as well? It will be a good training exercise or it will make the mission come early. Either way, we could use the extra help. "
" I will go make the calls. Most of them are close by, only Stark and Rhodes will take a little longer to get here if they come in their suits."
" Wait, they are both metal, up against Magneto, they will be incompacitated like me." Logan said.
" Then you three will be charged with guarding the children, the rest will be here helping ward off Erik."
" Professor. I would like to go with Logan and Tony and the Kernel. Please!" Rogue spoke up." Some of the smaller children could be scared by the War Machine and Ironman."
" I will allow it. I know how you feel about things Rogue. That would be fine. "
" All right folks, suit up! I'll get my team here as soon as possible. " Nick said and went to a quieter area to make his calls.
Logan turned to Rogue." I know you're worried, we'll keep the children safe. I'll keep YOU safe." His eyes were serious, " I promise."
She looked up at him and tried to take a deep breath. It was hard to breathe." I think I'm having a slight panic attack."
" Come on, I'll walk with you to the locker rooms. The walk will help. Fuck Victor and Erik. Some day I'm going to get you to come away from here and we'll go on an extended vacation. Some place very remote where only Charles can find us. "
" That sounds nice, I would like to travel. Some day."
"Come on , let's go. " Logan placed his hand on her back and led her to the locker rooms. " Take a few good breaths Rogue, it'll help." He said comfortingly.
" I'll try. Erik gives me major anxiety."
They walked briskly to the locker rooms. Before parting Logan pulled her to him. She couldn't resist the safe haven of his arms at the moment, even if she was still confused about her feelings, it still was comforting now to have him there.
" Listen to me, if Erik comes our way, you run or fly and hide, he can't manipulate you like did to me. And hopefully War Machine and Ironman will be able to help distract or something. You focus on keeping the kids safe. If necessary, you get them down to the escape hallway through the tunnels. I will back you up."
" All right, got it." She looked up in his eyes and felt his confidence and strength pouring off him. She reached up on tip toes and nuzzled his face. Rubbing her cheek on his, feeling his unshaved scruff rough on her cheek.
" Be careful, I'm not as focused right now, I don't want to drain you."
" Fuck it." Logan said and grabbed her head in his hands to kiss her hard. He felt her pull, but it wasn't very bad. He'd recover quickly. It was worth it, she met his kiss harder than any of the others he had stolen previously, this time she gave as much as he did, no more hesitation. They broke apart when somebody cleared their throat. A few team members had arrived and Remy was the one clearing his throat.
" Well Cherie I guess there's no question, you've made your choice. After this mission I'm heading back home, I was going to try 'n persuade you to come for a visit, seems it won't be necessary." Remy said. " I still have your back though."
" I don't even know what to say Remy " she answered.
" I'll take good care of her Lebeau. I promise." Logan was reluctant to let her go, but knew that they both needed to change.
" You better Howlette. Or I come 'n find you..."Remy said.
Logan watched Rogue.
" All right all right you two. We need to change." She scolded.
The Avengers started to arrive as well, they were all suited up and ready to defend the school. Bruce Banner was in Hank's lab working with him on a project but he had been alerted that he may have to suit up. Everyone changed into their suits and met back at head quarters. Rogue found Logan and walked back with him. Logan kept his arm around her shoulders while everyone gathered.
Charles and Nick came to the center of the group and got everyone's attention.
" Hello, as I'm sure you're all aware at this time, we have Victor Creed in custody, earlier he attacked Rogue and Wolverine, together they over powered him and brought him here. So far he has not given us any information that we can use. We are moving to high alert as we feel that it is highly probable Erik will be coming for Victor. We need to keep the children safe. Security is being increased. I have instructed the teachers to put the children on curfew, everyone is to be in their rooms after dinner. "
" Excuse me? " Natasha asked.
" Yes Ms.Romanoff?"
" What's the play? Where can we help?"
" We need to have someone on every floor to help protect the children. If i know Erik, he'll bring the best of his team, we must be prepared. The director and I have come up with teams as the school is quite large. Also Doctors Banner and McCoy have been alerted that they may need to join us. We are going to spread you out, but if he comes at us hard the focus is getting the children to safety. "
Once the team assignments were announced everyone agreed to meet back there. Coms were handed out so that everyone was able to communicate. Logan and Rogue were assigned together on the top floor with Hawkeye. They were ready for a fight.
Tony was on the roof with Rhodes each keeping watch. Fire Star and Kitty were on the 3rd floor with Cap. The 2nd floor was being covered by Black Widow, NightCrawler, and Remy.
The ground floor was being covered by Colossus, Thor, Storm and Cipher. At headquarters Charles, Nick, Phil Coulson, Hank and Bruce watched all the surveilance cameras watching for any sign of Erik. Up in the air Agent Maria Hill had a jet scanning the area with infrared radar looking for anything out of the ordinary. Storm had Bobby on standby with one of the X-Jets, ready to join Agent Hill at any moment. All was quiet for a few hours. But around Midnight Maria Hill caught something on her radar.
" Base, this is Agent Hill. I have life signatures coming up the secret driveway. They are not identifying themselves to me."
" We copy at base Ms.Hill. Stay in the area we may need you. How many signatures are we talking?" Director Fury asked.
" Three Large vehicles, perhaps Suburbans. 18 life forms."
" We copy that. Hill we'll try to establish contact. "
" Ok sir." Maria had her team on the jet prepare weapons.
" Coulson, try to establish contact."
" I'm hacking into their Navigation systems as we speak. I'm almost in." A few more clicks," Ah! We're in. I'll put it up on speakers. You're good to go."
"This is Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D, and Professor Xavier. Identify yourselves!" Fury was very stern.
Some static, but then they received a response.
" Charles? Who's your new friend?" Erik asked.
" We are forming an alliance with the Avengers as you are allying with Hydra." Charles answered.
" I gather you know why I'm here."
" You have come for Victor." Charles confirmed.
" Indeed, I do not wish to cause the children harm, but I will if you don't hand him over. " Erik said calmly.
" You would threaten children's lives?" Fury was displeased.
" Only if I must Director. Give me what I want and we will leave peacefully. "
" He attacked two of our team members, you expect us to take that lightly? "
" Oh, please, a little sibling rivalry is nothing, Victor and Logan have been going at it for years. "
" We could have let Rogue kill him, we may still, she felt that the attack was a bit personal."
" She has become quite powerful , it is true. I trust that Victor will come to me as I tell him to. Of course Rogue is most likely the only mutant that would be able to truly kill him, so I do understand his motives..."
" Enough! We will only give you Creed if he leaves directly with you, and does not come near the school or Rogue again. He does? We let her kill him for good!"
" I understand. Now, give him to me and we will go."
" Victor's taking a nap right now."
" Are you bringing him out? Or do we come in after him Charles?"
"We will bring him to you. Under one condition, only you and one other come to collect him. He's going to be out well into tomorrow." Charles said." We will send only 2 of our team out with him. "
" Very well Charles. Very well. " Erik was not pleased but did agree to the terms. What he didn't know was that a few of his Hydra men were becoming restless.
" I need a moment to confer with Director Fury to decide whom we will send out."
" 5minutes Is all I will allow before we come in." Erik said.
" That is fine Erik." Charles said. Coulson muted their microphones. " Who are the best choices?" Nick asked.
" I would be comfortable sending NightCrawler and perhaps Captain America, Kurt can teleport himself and Mr.Rogers back inside quickly."
" That sounds good. I agree. Cap?" Fury asked into his com.
" Yes Director?"
" You're up, come down and help us move Mr.Creed."
" Be there in a moment." Steve said.
" Kurt?" Charles asked.
" Yes Professor?"
" Would you come down and help escort Mr.Creed out. Then teleport yourself and Captain America back here?"
" Yes sir." Kurt responded and momentarily appeared in the same room. Cap arrived a few moments later.
As they waited for Cap they let Erik know who to expect.
" We are sending Victor out with NightCrawler and Captain America. There is no need for you to come in. "Charles said.
" All right. We will wait."
Kurt turned to the cell, teleported inside, grabbed Victor and then teleported back into the room.
" Captain, if you touch me I can teleport us three outside."
" Ok. That will be interesting." Cap grabbed Kurt's shoulder and a few seconds later they were outside in front of the first Suburban.
Magneto and Toad stepped out.
" Ah, the infamous Captain America, I recall stories of you from WWII. You look well old man."
" Thanks, I think. Where do you want Creed?" Cap said.
He can go in the back of this vehicle. Toad, don't be rude, open the door for NightCrawler."
Toad went over and did as he was told. Kurt carried Victor and deposited him in the truck. Suddenly from the last truck a bunch of gunshots went off.
The sounds alerted Cap, and Kurt. They looked at eachother and tried to hurry, but before they could get to eachother and teleport back inside Kurt was shot in the shoulder.Cap hurried to his side.
" Kurt! Are you all right?!"
"Fools! They gave us what we wanted! Why are you shooting?! Inside! Inside now! You just have them the right to attack!" Erik hollered at his crew, very disappointed in them.
Up above Maria Hill spoke into her com."Shots fired down below, shall I persue?"
"Hill, chase them off grounds. Ironman, War Machine, go down and see if Cap needs help. " Fury ordered.
" On it!" They both answered in unison. Taking off toward their team.
"Wait! They are made of metal! Erik will crush them!" Kitty hollered.
" No worries Miss Pryde, I made our suits of non-magnetic metals!" Tony said into his com.
" I'm going to ready the med-triage. Rogue, Kitty come help me please." Storm said.
"On it!" They both answered Rogue turned to Logan. He saw fear in her eyes and grabbed her into a tight bear hug.
" Be quick and be safe! " he said then pulled her face to his for a fleeting kiss that did not last long enough. Pulling away he said," I'll be down as soon as possible."
"All right. Ok. Bye Logan." She turned and ran down stairs. Arriving last at the the medical wing. Storm was busy grabbing instruments , Kitty readied the table.
"What do you need?" Rogue asked.
" Here take these bandages, put them on the table I don't know how bad it's going to be."Storm was worried about Kurt. While the women prepared things outside Ironman and War Machine have Steve cover while he hoisted their injured comrade to his arms to bring him inside. They hovered before the Suburbans.
" We will go, you have given us Victor , apparently Hydra has not taught decorum to their men."
"Magneto, one of our men has been shot by one of your men, we do not take that lightly." War Machine said.
" I will be taking care of that myself, I promise you there will be disciplinary action. Infact to prove it... " Erik said. He made a motion with his hands, and an invisible force crushed the suburban around the men that had fired on Kurt.
" That's, great, but are you going to remove the trash? Or are we responsible for clean up?
" Ironman asked.
" I will remove it. Now, we will go in peace, as you have shown us."
Erik turned and went back to his truck and made the rest get back in theirs. As they left the crushed truck was levitated of the ground and followed the other 2.
" I feel like this was way too easy. " Tony said.
" I agree." Rhodes said.
" Cap, get him inside, we'll cover you. " Rhodes said.
" Thanks!" Steve ran with Kurt in his arms. Kurt had passed out from the pain. Collossus met them at the door.
" How bad?"
" He passed out, bad enough. Where do we go?"
"Follow me Captain." Piotr said.
Cap followed.
" Rhodie let's take a run around the perimeter, it just feels wrong, from the things I've read about Magneto, it just seems too easy. "
" I have heat signatures in the woods!" Maria Hill said.
" I knew it. What are they after?" Stark asked.
" They're spread out , looks like they're closing in on the backside of the grounds." Maria said
"How many Hill?" Rhodes asked.
" Ten."
"Switching to night mode." Tony said. " Let's see what's going on. You want to sweep left or right?"
" I'll take left. Hawkeye, your eyes open up there?"
" Awe nice of you to think of me! My eyes are open, nothing yet. "
" Team, let's get some patrolling outside close to the school. While they have the air. Thor, Collossus, Iceman,Cipher, Firestar, Wolverine, Blackwidow, Cap, spread out on the grounds once you have Mr.Wagner safe in the med-wing." Fury said.
"On it!" They all said .
Steve brought Kurt in and rested him carefully on the gurney.
" Is he breathing?" Storm asked.
" Yes, but he's lost some blood."
Rogue watched as Steve hurried back out following Piotr.
" Be safe!" She hollered, " both of you!"
They both waved in acknowledgement and hurried out the back doors.
" Anyone have anything?" Fury asked.
" Yep! Found them!" Stark said." What do ya say Rhodie? Let's light it up."
" Let's do it." Tony and Rhodes powered up and fired a few light rounds to light up the grounds. Barton got ready.
" There you are you little buggers..." Clint said. " Are we warning them? Or shoot to kill?"
" Shoot to kill. They messed with the wrong team." Fury said." Any word yet on NightCrawler.
