“Stop!” She pushed Logan back, and Dana took a step back.

“You fuckin’ liar—,” he looked at Dana and then at Jean. “So is this what you really want? You want her—you want—,” he sighed heavily. “All right—if this is what you want. Take it. You won Dana—you won.”

“This was never a competition. I was just the better man—well woman.” Dana smirked smugly, and Logan pushed Jean out of the way.

“Logan don’t!”

He grabbed Dana by her throat and lifted her off the ground. “Is she what you want?” Dana squeaked softly as she stared at Logan. “I fought for her, and I bled for her. You come in for only three goddamn days and take her away from me.”

“I—didn’t—take her—from you. She—chose.” Dana gritted her teeth.

“Logan—let her go.”

“Why should I?” He sighed as he stared into Dana’s eyes. Jean looked at Dana and saw that her eyes went black.

“Logan—do it now.” The room began to shake, and Dana slammed her fist into Logan’s chest. He flew across the room, and Dana dropped to the floor. “Dana!” Jean ran over to Dana to see if she was okay. Ororo ran into the room and found Logan lying by the door, and Jean looking down at Dana. She leaned down to Logan’s side and touched his cheek.

“Logan?” He groaned and began to move.

“Storm—,” Ororo looked up at Jean. “We need the Professor.”

Alice slowly opened her eyes and winced in pain as her head throbbed. She brought her head up and looked around in the dark room. She went to move, but found herself tied to a chair. She began to move violently in the chair.

“Somebody please help me! Somebody help! Help me!” She cried out. She dropped her head as she began to sob uncontrollably. “Help!” The door opened up behind her, and she turned her head. “What do you want with me?”

“You’re going to be our little pawn in our game.” Magneto walked into the room with Shane at his side.

“We just want to have a little fun.” Shane smiled as she looked at her old friend.

“Shane—why are you doing this? What happened to you?”

“Well Al—,” Shane walked closer to her. “I’m just like Dana, I’m a mutant.”

“What? How? I don’t believe you…” Shane smiled and sighed. She threw her arms out and growled. Alice’s eyes became big when she saw the flames taking over her arms. She could feel the heat against her skin, and Shane powered down.

“Do you believe me now?” Alice swallowed hard as the sweat ran down her cheek.

“But what does this have to do with anything with me?

“We’re going to use you as bait.” Shane smiled at Magneto’s answer.

“You’re going to bring Dana to us.” Jenny hissed as she walked into the room.

“Jenny?”

“Yes love—it’s me.” She ran her hand across the back of the chair.

“I’m going to leave the three of you ladies alone—to catch up on old times.” Magneto laughed and walked out of the room. Jenny walked over to Shane, and Shane wrapped her arm around jenny’s waist.

“We need you to be as helpless as you can be so Dana can try to save you.”

“What do you want with Dana?”

“We’re going to use her and than we’re going to kill her—,” Jenny smiled evilly. “And then we’re—going to kill you.”
