They rolled their eyes when the claws came out, thoroughly unimpressed with the display. "Come now, Logan, don't be so dramatic. We practically want the same thing. You give us your power and the girl becomes immortal just like you. Isn't that what you want? Think about it, she'll never age and that dreaded day when she inevitably dies will never come. You can't tell me that doesn't sound appealing." As if to drive the point home, they pressed the piece of metal hard enough against their throat to draw blood.
They knew the sight and smell of her blood would get a reaction from him and as soon as he made to step closer, they leapt mid air and grinned down at Logan as they hovered well above him. They had immediately become aware of Sam's secondary mutation of flight the moment they'd touched her and she bombarded them with her memories. "Nice try, but pull something like that again, and we will slice open her throat." The smile dropped and was replaced with a hard look. "Take off your jacket and hold out your arms, this is the last time we're going to ask nicely."
As they waited for him to comply, their vision swam and their hold on the piece of metal briefly loosened. No, not now. She couldn't possibly have the strength to wrest control back and she knew it. That fact didn't keep Rogue from trying, not when Logan was involved. She'd already let them kill an innocent an girl and had been forced to see Logan die more than once, she had to fight back. She had to.
"Don't keep us waiting," they urged Logan through gritted teeth.
