Ok decided to write a new story the chapters are quite short but I'll make
up with quantity I promise!! It might be a little confusing, It's set in an
A/U where the X-men etc are the same but I've crossed it with Nightworld,
if you haven't read that uncompleted series its brilliant!! Set after the
millennium and Circle daybreak won!!!
I don't own X-men or Nightworld unfortunately!
~@~@~@~@~ Bonding in the flames ~@~@~@~@~@~
The explosion got everyone's attention orange flames licked their way up through the abandoned warehouse charring the wood and growing in intensity and deadliness. The Acolytes and X-men stopped fighting for a second frozen by the hypnotic flames.
"Rogue's still in there!" cried Kitty breaking the paralysis of the gathered enemy's.
"So is Gambit!" shouted Pyro for once his manic grin was missing. He concentrated on the flames moulding them to his own shape trying to control them, but the warehouse was burning to rapidly and the flames were escaping his hold.
Rogue sputtered and choked, she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, the stifling smoke was getting hotter and hotter. "Not like this" she thought, "Not now!" she was on her knees choking, coughing, trying to remove the poison smoke from her lungs.
"Chere?" Rogue thought she heard a voice looking up she couldn't see anyone, then a pair of ruby on onyx eyes pierced through the darkness.
"I don't think I'll mind them being the last thing I'll see, there really pretty!" she thought distractedly before someone turned out the lights.
"Chere! Rogue?" Remy caught sight of her cat bright eyes a moment before they closed. "Rogue! Come on Chere wake up!" he ripped a strip of material from his trench coat and held it over her nose and mouth, trying to filter out the smoke. He lifted her one arm under her legs the other supporting her back he pressed her protectively against him. "Now be a good time fo' Remy's luck to kick in, non!" he prayed to lady luck.
Pyro was straining from the effort of trying to contain the flames he could feel his strength ebbing away in the tide of flames, "Hold on mate, please hold on!"
Everyone's attention was on the warehouse, so much so that no one noticed the golden haired girl approach. For a silent moment she surveyed the scene, then reached into an over shoulder bag and pulled a blue stone out. The crystal seemed to dance in the flames lit by an internal fire of blue. She started to whisper to the stone asking for it's help, in response the lapis lazuli glowed brighter than the flames swallowing the orange glow in it's blue light. Like when a light bulb blows the whole area got suddenly brighter engulfing the flames in blue then in an instant it was gone. The light, the fire, everything was gone.
The stranger smiled, "Time to wake up Remy!" she called telepathically. The boy opened his eyes he had made it few feet from where he had picked up Rogue before he himself was overcome by the smoke. He realised that he was still cradling Rogue against his chest and attempted to stand up but he was still too weak.
Bamf the blue fuzzy X-man was suddenly standing over him looking concerned at Rogue, blue boy took her hand and in an instant, Bamf, they were on the street amide worried looking X-men and Acolytes.
Rogue had clutched onto Remy's shirt and didn't seem to be prepared to let go even in her unconscious state.
"Come on we'd better get back to the institute" Scott said instantly back into leader mode, he looked at the Acolytes and sighed. "You guys better come to, don't want you to die on us!"
Remy searched the area for any sign of their rescuer, when a small blue velvet bag caught his attention it was sitting on top of a card. "John get Remy dat bag and card will yah, mon ami!"
"Sure mate!" the card was the queen of diamonds, sister suit to the hearts, Remy grinned. It was her. He got John to open the bag to find a tub of burn balm and a vile of liquid with instructions for him and Rogue to drink two drops diluted in a glass of water, three times a day for the next week. On the Queen of diamonds there was written a small note:
"Don't forget to take it!"
"I don't care if it tastes bad!"
"Get well soon! XXX"
It wasn't signed.
"Ok, Chere lets get you home!" he shifted Rogue so she was more stable then headed off after Cyclops, followed by a reluctant Pyro and Colossus.
