Chapter 4: Captured
(With the X-Men)

Jean was reading the news but when she came across something that shocked her and made her panic. "Oh my god! PROFESSOR!" Jean yelled getting up form her spot and running to his office. As Jean she can feel her eyes burning. Jean didn't bother to knock.

"P-Professor!" Jean speed walk to where he sat.

"What's wrong Jean?" He ask with worries and concern.

"T-t-the N-newspapers, I-it's T-tony" Jean started crying and she sat on the couch. Charles move away from his desk to be beside Jean.

Charles notice the paper in her hands and grabbed it. 'TONY STARK KILLED OR MISSING?? GENIUS BILLIONAIRE TONY STARK GETS ATTACKED WHILE DRIVING TO A PRESENTATION TO THE ARMY!? BODY NOT FIND!

"Oh no..." Charles whispered. "Jean call the others! Now"

Jean nodded and used her telepathic abilities. 'Logan, Scott, ororo, Hank in the professors office now!'

(Some times later)

"Ok what is it Professor?" Ororo asked sitting beside jean who noticed her red eyes. "Jean? We're you crying? What's wrong?" At her words Scott moved to sit on the other side of Jean.

"Sit" Charles said and the other two sat on the other couch. Charles through the newspaper on Logan's lap and he grabbed it. Logan's eyes widened and looks back at the professor. "Read it please Logan"

"Tony Stark killed or missing?? Genius billionaire Tony Stark gets attacked while driving to a presentation to the army. Body not find...."Logan whispered the last part.

"Wait! What!" Scott yells. Scott forcefully grabs the paper from Logan's hand and looked over it. "W-what! N-No he-he can't be dead! Or-or"

The professor looks down, ororo and Hank notice a tear going down his cheek. "N-No..." Ororo whispered.

"When did this h-happen?" Hank questioned grabbing the news from Scott. "It must have happened yesterday"

"Ya and he can be dead already" Jean said. Ororo pulled out her phone from her pocket and dial Tony's number.

"Please, please. Come on Tony" ororo whispered. Everyone in the room looks at her. Ororo sigh sadly has she heard the robotic voice, she slowly pulled the phone away from her ear.

The room was quite, quieter than a library. Logan got up and run out the room, ororo following behind him. "Logan! Wait" "Logan!!"

Ororo realize where Logan was going. "Logan no!!" But he didn't listen, he continued to run. Until he made it to his Destination. "Logan! No" Ororo

'Ororo what's happening? We can hear you screaming! Is everything okay?' Jean ask using her telepathic.

'Its Logan! He's gonna use Cerebro to find Tony, get done here with the professor now!' Ororo said in her thoughts.

"Logan!" Ororo yelled one more time. Ororo made a turn and that's where she saw Logan standing close to Cerebro. "Logan"

"No ororo, I'm not believing that he's dead not until I see a body" Logan said.

"Logan!" A different voice called. It was the professor. Charles who was followed by the rest of them. Charles moved closer to Logan.

"Professor..." Logan began but stopped.

"No Logan...I'll look" The rest looked shocked but Charles ignore them and moved past Logan, to be to in front of the Cerebro. Ororo, Jean, Scott, Hank and Logan move around him. Charles grabbed the helmet and put it on his head. He close his eyes but then suddenly jerked back.

"Charles! Are you okay?" Ororo took off the helmet while jean crouched down. "Professor?"

"I'm fine jean.." Charles said.

"Did you see anything?"

"It all went by fast...But I do believe he is alive" Charles said. Ororo and jean smiled while Scott, Logan and Hank sighed in relief.

"But don't get your hopes up yet not until we found him"

(With Tony)
Tony screamed as doctors were working on him. Tony's chest with a hole in the centre, Doctors were shouting orders above him. A single man at his bedside. Hands enclosed around a metal disk, then someone put a rag over his mouth knocking him out.

Tony slowly started waking up. He looked around then pull out the tube from his mistrial and airway. He ripped it out and rubbed his nose. Tony look around again and with a weak hand he tried to grip the cup of water on the bedside table but only to fail and knock it over. He coughed a few times and looked at the another man who seemed to be shaving with a mirror in front of him. Tony grabbed the table to help him get up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you"

Tony paused and then rolled over to face a car battery. He looked at the cord and followed it which led to the centre of his chest. He grunted in surprise and patted it to find a huge lump. He slammed his Hank against it a couple of times and then started to rip his shirt off. Tony grew frustrated and moved all the wires that were in the way. He continued to rip the centre of his chest, revealing a object that seemed to be attached to him. His grunting became panics. It was a circular and rusty metal with screws and wires obviously attached to the car battery.

After awhile Tony sat up in the bed with a mirror in his hands looking at the car battery. The another was showed with a pan in his hands.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Tony asked not bothering to look at the man.

"What did I do? What I did was to save your life. I removed all the shrapnel I could, there's a lot there still. It's heading towards your heart, here wanna see? I have a souvenir. Take a look" the man through the small jar with a couple of pieces of shrapnel in it. Tony moved the small jar around. "I've seen many wounds like that in my village, we call them the walking dead because it takes about a week for the barbs to reach the vital organs"

"What is this?" Tony pointed to his chest.

"That is an electromagnet hooked up to a car battery, and it's keeping the shrapnel from entering your heart" the man explained. Tony rolled his neck and glanced down at the thing in his chest. He pulled the blankets closer to him, Tony then noticed a security camera in the corner of the room. The man noticed that he was looking at the camera and said. "That's right, smile" the paused but continued. "We met once you know. At a technical conference in Bern"

"I don't remember" Tony replied.

The man chuckled quietly. "You wouldn't. If I had been that drunk, I wouldn't have been able to stand. Much less give a lecture on integrated circuits"

Tony eyes moved around the cave. "Where are we?" But before he could answer there was a loud clang from the metal doors. Then there was a shout in a different language.

"Come on, stand up! Stand up! Just do as I do, come on put your hands up" said the man. The doors opened and a grip of people  holding guns came in.

"Those are my guns. How did they get them?" Tony asked shocked.

"Do you understand me? Do as I do"

The leader raised his hand and said a couple of things in his language. He walked forward while gesturing wildly. He looks expectantly at the man.

"He says welcome, Mr. Stark. The most famous mass murdered in the history of America" The man translated. "He is honoured. He wants you to build the missile. The 'Jericho' missile you demonstrated"

The leader handed the man a picture of the missile. "This one" the man translated again. There was a moment of silence until.

"I refuse"
