Spider-Man: Duty And Loss Chapter 47: Bind Part 2

Laura rea.s.sessed the people in front of her; she didn't have a lot of time to decide. Her eyes scanned for the weakest one. Going over the men quickly and then crossing them off, she focused on the women in the room.

After her last encounter with the woman in gloves she decided to stay far away from her. She was standing near Logan, so that closed off that side of the room, getting rid of the girl in the yellow coat and the silver haired woman.

That left only one person left, her eyes flickered slightly to the brown haired girl standing next to the ice guy. *Grr* A small growl left her lips before she sprang into action. Das.h.i.+ng to the right she quickly noticed the fast approaching object heading for her neck.

Reacting in time she watched as a glowing playing card? Flew by and just as she was about to continue the card exploded! *Boom* The force flung her body back but she stabilized herself mid air and landed on her feet. The burns over her body healing quickly as she shook off a mild concussion.

Her eyes bore into Gambit as he raised an eyebrow at the conclusion, another card in his hand. Hank spoke from the side in an angry voice. "You could have killed her Gambit!" He just gave a nonchalant shrug with a c.o.c.ky smirk. "I was betting she was just like, short pint over there." The voice and what h said irked her enough that she added him to her mental kill list, which she updated every now and then.

But she wasn't stupid; she knew she couldn't fight them all, so she once again started running. Logan's form barreled in from the side trying to knock her down, but she jumped back at the last second. *Grr* *Grrr* They both growled at each other before clas.h.i.+ng blades.

Storm's eyes stopped glowing at the back as she reigned in her powers, she couldn't use them in such an environment, so instead she took on the role of leader. "Scott block the door! Hank, get something to calm her down just in case. Gambit if you throw one more of your cards you'll be used in training practice for the next month!" She sent a small glare at Remy before she continued.

She held up a hand at Rogue who was moving closer to the clas.h.i.+ng beasts. "Don't get close Rogue, wait till we have her restrained, we don't want you losing a limb." Rogue frowned at her for a second before she nodded and backed off.

Jubilee was fidgeting at the side looking for an opening, her red gla.s.ses already down. "Jubilee don't fire yet, you'll blind everyone in the room. Wait for a clear shot." Finally she looked at Kitty and Bobby. "Bobby if she comes your way freeze her feet if possible." Bobby gave a small nod as they watched Laura intently.

She was still clas.h.i.+ng with Logan, but it was clear to see that she had the upper hand. In the close quarter environment she was able to use her flexibility and grace to dodge Logan's heavy blows. This continued for another minute before finally they separated.

*Pant* *Pant* Laura still wasn't fully recovered after waking up and fatiguing too fast. Storm took the lead as the fight lulled. "We truly don't want to harm you." Laura turned and could see that the silver haired woman was being genuine, but once she looked back at Logan who was across from her she couldn't take any chances.

"I don't think she's going to listen." Logan prepared for another fight as he looked on. "Gargh!" Screaming as she ran forwards they clashed again before Laura jumped off the ground and impaled her foot claw into his mid section. "Urgh" Logan grunted in pain as Laura continued on and wrapped her legs around his body.

He was too heavy to flip over, but with his legs off balance Laura was able to knock him to the ground. Springing to her feet while his wound healed she sprinted towards Bobby and Kitty. Bobby's arms turned to ice as he fired towards her legs, but she was prepared.

While Storm was talking she was taking in all the information she could. She knew what tactics they were going to use and what powers they most likely had. And she used that information to the max. She kicked off the wall, dodging the blast and sent a small glance towards Jubilee.

Her powers could possibly blind her if she wasn't careful. Seeing that she wasn't going to attack, she landed in a roll right next to Bobby and swept his legs. Before Kitty could move away she bounded up and moved behind her. Grabbing her neck and pointing a claw at her throat she finally spoke to her captures.

"If any of you move I kill her!" Everyone froze as they looked at the two. Kitty stood frozen with the claw to her neck a small bit of fear creeping down her spine, even though she knew she could phase right out of her grip.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Laura gave a small smile of victory before going stone faced once again. "Now, you're going to let me go and leave right now. Once I am outside and safe I'll let her go, not before, so don't even ask." They all looked at each other deciding what to do. They all knew that Kitty could get out of her situation if she wanted, but her life was still in danger.

Logan growled at the action, he didn't like seeing someone held hostage. Before anyone could say something a presence in their mind connected them and spoke. 'Wait.' Scott's eyes s.h.i.+fted just outside the door, where the Professor was holding his temple.

'Kitty and everyone, I would like you to stay calm. This could help us find out more information. If you are comfortable with this we'll continue.' Kitty gave an almost unnoticeable nod and replied in her mind. 'Ok Professor.' It was hard to tell, but her voice quivered a little when she replied.

'Ok listen to her demands and ask questions. I'll deal with the rest.'
