Masque | The abduction

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

After a sudden inspiration thanks to Kyle, Ororo and Kurt decide to tip the odds in their favor.

( He said they smelled of gas... poo gas, he said. )

Unfortunately, it works just a little too well.

Masque - Rescue Mission

[x-juggernaut.livejournal.com]

After three days of unsuccessful searching, the team has finally gotten a bite -- but there are unforeseen complications.

( Take us in )

Separated from his teammates and unable to reach Ororo, Kurt suddenly finds himself undercover.

( Most people do not look into the shadows )

Logan and Lorna are the first to stumble upon the tunnel-dwellers. Despite Lorna's attempts at diplomacy, the situation quickly escalates -- and Logan's file on instances of excessive force is updated accordingly.

( In case you don't remember, we have people to save )

Nate and Kurt rejoin forces and see a familiar face. ...Or not.

( How, exactly, have you repaid him? )

Backup has arrived, which means Ororo's patience with the whole victim-scene has just run out.

( I will not lose you after all this )

Ororo's had her moment of catharsis with her assailant. Now someone actually has to wade through the wreckage and drag them out. Fortunately, this is why we have Cain on the team.

( Found her )

Ororo awakes in Masque's lair and comes face-to-face with the man himself. It starts to rain not long after.

( She won't be pretty for long! )
