Chapter 46 - Bind Part 1 (2/2)
*Grrr* She let out a growl as she felt the pain. ”Is she related to you? Cause she got the growling down.” Remy spoke up from the side causing a growl to come from Logan's throat and Laura's head snapped in his direction. Her eyes had turned red in her panic that made the younger x-men feel on edge.
She continued to strain her shoulders and arms while her head thrashed to look around the room. Their weird gear and looks didn't deter her struggle, if anything they made it more ferocious. Hank being the most rational of them all, was the first to speak and move closer.
Raising his hands in a defensive manner he talked softly. ”There's no need for a struggle, we just want to talk. If you would calm down, this could go a lot smoother.” Laura stopped her struggle for all of one second, giving the big blue and furry man a look before continuing to struggle and growl. Remy sniggered from the side.
”You've got her hands bound with Adamantium shackles and she wakes up in a white room surrounded by strangers and medical equipment…Yeah she'll believe we just want to talk. Just short, gruff and smelly over there would make me want to run out of the room.” Remy flicked his thumb towards Logan. ”Watch it bub.”
Jubilee talked from the side as they stared each other down. ”Gambit does have a point Hank.” Hank thought to himself for a second and understood their reasoning. *Snikt* He turned to Logan as he heard the noise; he was caught up in his own thoughts. ”There's no need to pop your claws Logan, just because of Remy…”
He stopped as he noticed that Logan hadn't popped his claws. ”Ohh…” His voice trailed off as he saw the two glistening claws on Laura's hands. ”Never mind.” The rest of them were on edge and ready for a fight as the claws popped but they realized it wouldn't be a problem, the cuffs restrained her movements.
Releasing a breath of air as his specially designed cuffs worked perfectly, Hank continued to try and placate the girl, but Laura was having none of it. Her mind racing a mile a minute, she thought of every possible way for her to get out. Noticing the small section between the cuff and bed that didn't look to be made out of Adamantium a quick plan formed.
Even though it would be hard to fight all the people in the room, all she had to do was capture one of them and she would have a hostage. Deciding on the quick plan she went into motion. Keeping her claws out she pulled her legs as far back as possible arching her back. Twisting her hand as far as it could she flattened her body and used her momentum to break her wrist. *Crack*
Pulling her shoulder back while her wrist was broken her hands were in an unnatural angel as her claws nicked the small connection between the cuffs and the bed. *Snap* The metal was sliced through like hot butter and her hand was freed. Moving as quickly as lightning she swung her hand over freeing her other hand before going for her legs.
*Snap* Snap*
Her legs freed she curled herself and rolled backwards putting her back against the metal wall. The x-men stood stunned as they watched her so casually escape by breaking her bones. Eyeing them, she reached up and twisted her wrist back in place.
*Crack* Kitty winced as she heard the noise, but Laura's face didn't change at all. While everything was quiet and no one was moving, ever so slowly *Snikt* Logan popped his claws, his gruff voice reaching Hank. ”You made the cuffs out of Adamantium, but made the bed and links out of normal metal?”
Hank was at a loss for words. ”Adamantium costs you know.”
