"Excellent work, my dear!" The Beast roared as he slapped Rogue on the back, nearly taking her off her feet. He took the inert bomb from her hands and looked it over once or twice, "Hmmmm quite advanced for something a disgruntled mutant put together, I believe this has all been a setup. We need to hurry back and aid Cerebro and Gambit."
With that he scooped Rogue up in his arms, careful not to make skin to skin contact and began to leapfrog his way back to the battlefield.

Standing on the edge of the Biology building, high above the riot, was a odd little figure of a man. Despite the spring warmth he was dressed in a long tan overcoat that all but enveloped him. On his head was an old style fodora and his face was covered by a large pair of black lensed sunglasses. In each of his gloved hands was a pad and a pen with which he had be documenting a detailed accounting of the riot and the battle between the X-Men and the mutants his employeer had sent to delay them from disarming the bomb.
Seeing as how the mob was shrinking, either running away or being rendered useless, the odd little man was certain that the bomb had been found by the McCoy and the new team member, the very girl his employeer was most interested in. The sight of the bouncing Beast and the girl followed by no explosion confirmed his belief. He put his pad and pen neatly away in one of his coats deep pockets and from the other pulled out a small comm unit.
"Mr. Nacht to Base," he whispered into the unit, "The bomb was discovered and deactivated." He was hopeing his boss would not be too too furious with the news.
"I see," the voice on the other end replied, "Cerebro's band of X-Men I presume?"
The voice didn't sound angry but Mr. Nacht was not one to take chances unduly, "Yes, sir. The girl you specified and McCoy found it while the rest took care of the riot."
"You took the notes I requested?"
"Yes, sir." the little man smiled as he patted his pocket for reassurence. Appearently everything was going according to the boss's plan. Not that it mattered, this was all a paycheck to him anyways.
"Return to base," the voice ordered.
"And the Nasty Boys? Slab and the others?"
"They knew the price of failure." the voice intoned, sending a shiver down Mr Nacht's spine.
The channel aburptly closed. Mr Nacht put it back into his pocket as carefully as he did the pad and pen then turned to leave the rooftop. A job was a job to him but he had to admit to himself that he would be most happy when this particular contract was finished and he could go on his merry little way. There was something about his employeer that just chilled him to what little speck remained of his soul.

"Bombs disarmed," Anna said as her feet touched the ground nexted to Gambit. Who seemed to busy to reply.
Looking around it seemed like they were winning the fight. "This should be over soon." Just as she said that. The remaining humans formed ranks. Lines were drawn.
Anna felt two hands from behind her as she was pulled backwards. She tried to scream but the one holding her had his hand over her mouth. Fighting once more the images in her head. Anna didn't want to know, why. Why she was beeing kidnapped. She watched as she was draged further away from the team. Unable to fight. Her emotions got the better of her. Futher helping her to block her powers.

ing more humans back onto their butts, Gambit spun around long enough to see Anna grabbed. He tried to help but was blindsided by another angry mob numbering above thirty.
He knew tried to fight it off as long as he could, but he knew deadly force was sure to happen.
He had to save Anna.

Anna spoted Gambit. Just as their eyes met. Even though she was being pulled backwards she could feel her mind moving forward.
In the choas of everything there was only Anna and the one called Gambit. Time moved slower and slower until it didn't matter. If she were to die, at least it would be with the knowledge of knowing him.
Letting go of herself. Clearing her mind all she could think about was Gambit. Who he was. And what he could do. Images flashed in her head like a stobe lights.
Screaming out in pain as her eyes flashed red. Reaching into her picket for the playing card she had taken, it was as if someone else was controling her. The card glowed red as she held it in her hands.
The card stayed in place as she lowered her hand. It hovered higher over the head of the one holding her. "Aces high!" She said as she waved her hand. Causing the card to exploded. Smoke clouds and fire engolfed Anna and her attacker.

Beast saw Gambit take off a half second before he realized Anna and gone missing. Seeing that Cerebro, Storm and the others were sending the riotous stragglers packing well enough, he took off after the Cajin X-Man. His leaps and bounds allowed him to cover the distance quickly and got him caught up in time to see Anna suddenly cause a kinetic energy based explosion.
At first Beast thought Gambit and act in some insanely rash manner but a glance over to his left at Gambit's equally shocked face quickly made Beast rethink that notion. Could it have been Anna herself, he wondered. The smoke cleared and Anna was on the ground at the feet of her abductor and now Beast's face was a mask of surprise.
"Oh my stars and garters," he whispered, "Omega Red"
The Russian mutant/cyborg know as Omega Red stood there with both his tentacle whips whirling in the air, "Da, Comrade Beast, it is good to know that Wolverine told you about me" One tentacle coiled itself around the dazed Anna while the other one like slightly damaged, "Now I have no wish to be rude, but a gentleman has payed many rubles for the delivery of this young lady.

"Not likely Ruskie!" A cajun voice sounded out. "Put her down safely and I promise I won't kill you!" Gambit poised himself ready to strike.

Anna's vision was blurred as she tried to focus and make since of things. Where was she, what was she doing, what was that slithering around her waist?

"I am not worried about you killing me, Comrage Remy," Omega Red sneered slowly tightening the tenticle that was around Anna's waist, "I have been briefed on all of your skills and talents and I know that you are not fast enough to reach me before I snap the young woman's spine like a toothpick. Nor are those cute little playing cards you throw capable of holding enough charge to harm me, and you won't charge them enough to harm her. She is a little attractive, da?" His hand gently held her chin and moved her head back and forth as if he was inspecting her.
"You would kill you hostage?" Beast asked doubtfully.
Omega Red grinned, "I said I was contracted to deliever her. Nothing was said as to in what condition this was to be done."
