Hello everyone! My name is Sparky! Just to let you guys know ahead of time
(I've had complaints in other stories) this username is really my friend's,
Kitten's. She is the one who won't let any anonymous person review, not me.
So, don't complain. I'm really sorry for all you anonymous people, but
neither she nor I know how to fix it.
Okay, with that settled, this is my first X-Men Evolution fic. I've seen most of the episode's, I think. So, I should know pretty much what is going on, even though this is an AU fic. Anyway, this will be a romance (do any of you know what Mary-Sue's are?) It shouldn't be to mushy, at least I hope not. So, here are my characters first, then the pairings will come after it:
X-Men:
Professor Xavier
Ororo Monroe aka Storm
Logan aka Wolverine
Hank McCoy aka Beast
Scott Summers aka Cyclops
Jean Grey aka herself ^_^
Kitty Pryde aka Shadowkat
Evan Daniels aka Spyke
Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler
Remy LeBeau aka Gambit (he he he, bet you didn't expect that!)
Piotr Rasputin aka Colossus
Mercedes Amortagi aka Silver Dragon (OC she can turn into a silver dragon, or, if in demi form, have all the powers of a silver dragon with silver scales covering sections of her body and silver highlights in her black hair.)
Acolytes and/or Brotherhood (they are kind of working together, or at least for Magneto):
Erik Lensher aka Magneto
Victor Creed aka Sabertooth
Raven Darkholme aka Mystique
St. John aka Pyro
Lance Alvers aka Avalanche
Todd Tolansky aka Toad
Fred Dukes aka Blob
Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver
Wanda aka The Scarlet Witch
Rogue aka herself ^_^
Amalie Marrow aka Dystopia (OC, if you watch Teen Titans, her powers are exactly like Raven's. If not, I think you'll fully understand them throughout the story. However, she has red hair and violet eyes. But, she is still a goth like Rogue.)
I know that was probably boring, I could have just said Rogue was on Magneto's side and Remy was on Xavier's, but oh well. Here are the pairings:
Logan and Ororo : I think they would be so cute together!
Scott and Jean : one thing - DUH, those two are obvious
Lance and Kitty : I love them together!
Evan and Wanda : unusual, I know, but I thought it would be an interesting twist
Kurt and Amanda : I think they are a really cute couple, so they will be in my story!
Remy and Rogue : they will be the main coupling just because I love them together! I hate the movies that have her with Bobby, who is supposed to be younger than she is!
Piotr and Amalie : Amalie's going to be kind of a bitch, and I thought that she and Piotr would suite nicely. I was going to put Piotr with Jubilee, but I don't know much about her, so I can't.
St. John and Mercedes : Both pyromaniacs! I thought they would suite well. I was also going to put St. John with Amara, but I liked her better with Roberto (they won't appear much) So there we go.
All right, here is the summary: Rogue isn't with the X-Men yet. She and Amalie were both adopted by Mystique, and are very close. Remy and Piotr were found by Professor X before Magneto found them, so they are with him. Anyway, Rogue and Amalie are called by Mystique and are now joining up in the quarrel between Xavier and Magneto. Destiny, Rogue and Amalie's foster mother, had told Mystique that Rogue was going to play a very vital part in the future, that she was destined to be one of the strongest mutants alive. Cool? Cool. Read on!
More Than A Woman Chapter One PG-13
"Man, why do we gotta wait here for Mystique's brats, yo," Toad grumbled as he, Lance, Fred, Pietro, and Wanda waited at the train station. "I can think of more pleasing things to do, sugar plum," he added, cuddling up to Wanda.
"Get away from me, you sick little pervert!" Wanda cried, shoving the smaller amphibian-like boy away from her. Her gray eyes narrowed in anger and she stalked off to stand closer to the tracks.
Toad watched her walk off with longing as his other companions snickered at him. Pietro laughed especially hard.
"You're not going to get anywhere with my sister," Pietro sneered, crossing his arms over his chest. "She's only got eyes for that Daniel's freak."
"I heard that!" Wanda cried as she sent a bucket flying at her twin brother's head. He yelped and ducked just in time, avoiding what could have been a very nasty headache. Fred laughed loudly, but shut up when Pietro glared at him dangerously.
Lance sighed, rubbing his temples, "Would you just shut up? All of you. We're here because Magneto sent us. End of story. Do we really want him mad?"
This shut everybody up quickly enough. Wanda paced around anxiously, not at all pleased that her father had ordered her along as well. Toad paced right behind her, adoration in his sickly green eyes that would sometimes look brown. Fred was munching on something, not particularly caring where he was or why, just so long as he had food. Lance and Pietro began a quiet conversation about the two new members that were soon to arrive.
They were certainly an interesting group.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, at the Xavier institute, all the students had gathered around in front of the great glass doors, summoned by the Professor himself. The Professor, with Ororo and Logan right behind him, looked over the assembled people with a small smile, his heart swelling with pride.
"Like, what did you want us for, Professor?" Kitty, the local valley girl, asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Two new mutants are coming in on the train in about an hour-"
The Professor was interrupted by the commotion the words had stirred, everyone thinking the new mutants were with them. He held up a hand to silence them, which worked quite efficiently. When the room was quiet, he began again.
"Yes, two new students are coming. But they are not with us, I'm afraid," he said.
Scott Summers, the leader of the students, sneered, "Oh, they're with Mystique then?"
Xavier nodded calmly. He was hoping that they would be calm, as well. Thankfully, their training did pay off. The room was entirely silent. Then, Jean Grey tentatively took a step forward.
"Professor, if they are with Magneto and Mystique, why are you telling us?"
"For two reasons. One, I would like you to be aware that you will most likely fight these two new young ladies when we next encounter the Brotherhood or the Acolytes. Two, I want all of you to go down to the train station and scope everything out, try and recruit them for us, if you can. Under no circumstances shall you attack them."
Mercedes snorted, her silvery eyes bright with amusement, "Like that'll really happen, Professor. They would probably be the ones to attack us in the first place."
He gave her a sharp look and she shut her mouth, looking sheepish. "In that case, I want you to only defend yourselves. No attacking back, do you understand me?"
"Remy wan's t' know how we's gonna get t'ere?" The very handsome Cajun asked, shuffling his ever present deck of cards.
"Logan and Storm will take you all," the Professor answered as he began to roll away.
"Vait! Who are dese girls?" Kurt asked, his blue tail swishing around behind them. Even though Mystique was his mother, Kurt preferred to live with people who WEREN'T terrorists.
Professor Xavier turned to look at him, and the rest of the students who obviously wanted to know, "Both are extremely powerful mutants. Their names are Rogue and Amalie. Both are female teenagers, seventeen years old."
"What are their powers?" Evan asked.
"Well, I'm not exactly sure about the one called Rogue. She has very powerful mental blocks, which could mean she is a telepath, or it could mean she is just very steady in the mind. Amalie controls dark space, I guess you could say. Like Storm, she can throw black lightning bolts, like Kitty, she can walk through walls with her black energy, and like Jean, she can prevent things from moving or pick things up with her mind. I want you all to be careful when and if you come in contact with them today."
"They sound... powerful," Piotr said quietly.
Xavier nodded, "Very. Now, off you go. The train should be arriving soon."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The train came rolling into Bayville at exactly 3:45 p.m. The Brotherhood all sighed in relief that it was finally there. They had been waiting for nearly three hours.
When it came to a halt, and the passengers began to embark, Lance said, "Mystique said to look for a girl with white bangs. She would be the most obvious."
It didn't take them long. Coming toward them on the platforms were two Gothic, sensual girls. The first one, Rogue, had neck length, messy brown hair with two white streaks in the front. She wore black leather pants, black stiletto heeled boots, and a green corset type shirt with a black trench coat over it and gloves. Her make up was heavy and very dark, and her green eyes were smoky and had sort of a 'come hither' look. Men drooled when she walked past them.
The girl beside her was just as sexy and dangerous. Both girls were tall and slender, but where Rogue was more curvy, Amalie was slim and fit. Her flaming red hair was cut in the same style as Rogue's, and her unusual violet eyes were dark and mysterious. Amalie wore a black leather mini skirt that clung to her hips, black heeled sandals, and a violet halter top with a leather duster that went just to the middle of her calves. She, too, wore dark make up, and received drooling stares as she walked.
All five Brotherhood members' jaws were practically touching the ground. Sure, they knew that the two girls were supposed to be Gothic's and all, but they didn't expect them to be knock-outs, especially with having Mystique for a mother. A low chuckle escaped Rogue as they walked up.
"Well, Ah'll be. How cute. Mahma sent a welcomin' party for us," Rogue said in her thick Mississippi accent. Amalie nodded.
"How dahlin'! Ah feel so speciahl," she said, smirking.
Lance recovered first, "Hey, I'm Lance. Welcome to Bayville. Mystique sent us to bring you to our base. You must be Rogue."
"That's right, sugah," Rogue said sexily as she ran a gloved finger over Lance's chin, making him stammer. She laughed, a rich, deep sound. "Ah'm just playin' with ya, sugah! Thanks for the welcome."
Amalie snickered again, "Rogue, ya sure know how ta pick 'em! Be nice ta the poor boy."
Rogue rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. Turning, she eyed each member of the Brotherhood as she said their names, "Ya must be Wahnda, an' Fred, an' Pietro, an', obviously, Toad. Ah'm Rogue."
Pietro nodded vigorously, "Yeah, we know. And you're Amalie. Welcome to the group."
Amalie nodded absently as her eyes scanned the surrounding area, "Quaint, rustic, but cute. Ah think Ah'll lahke Bayville."
"Oh, but we should warn you about the X-Geeks, yo," Toad said, his long, green tongue whipping out to catch a nearby fly.
Everybody, even Fred, winced at the grotesque image. Wanda whacked Toad on the head, something that she did quite often.
"X-Geeks?" Rogue asked after she had recovered.
Fred nodded, "Yeah, duh, they've been bothering us for awhile now."
"Thaht was vague," Amalie said, her eyebrows raised.
Lance filled in, "Professor Xavier and a group of mutants who think the way to get the human's and mutants to live in harmony is by peaceful negotiations."
"How many?" Rogue asked, so she would know to be prepared.
"There's twelve of them. Well, eight students, really. Mystique and Sabertooth generally mess with Storm and Wolverine, two mutants you really don't want to get in a fight with. And there's also St. John, he generally helps us, but Magneto sent him somewhere else," Wanda answered.
Amalie and Rogue nodded, taking all the info in.
"We're gonna want th' nahmes an' powers of ahll of 'em," Amalie said as she pulled her satchel up more on her shoulder.
Lance nodded in acknowledgement, then motioned behind him, "Come on, we'll go to the car."
The two girls nodded in agreement, and the group made their way toward the end of the platform. They were about to go down the steps when Lance and Pietro, who were in the lead, stopped abruptly. Wanda cursed when she ran into her brother, and it took great effort for Fred not to run into anybody.
"Why did ya'll stop, sugah?" Rogue asked. She then looked around Lance's shoulder, and her eyebrow's rose when she saw eight teenagers standing at the very bottom of the steps.
"Summers," Lance growled, his brown eyes darkening. Rogue and Amalie looked at who appeared to be the leader, Summer's, as Lance called him, and took everything about him in, especially the ruby-red quartz visor he wore.
"Lance," the boy responded, his hands in fists at his sides. Rogue and Amalie looked at each other in amusement. Neither figured they had been seen yet, and decided to watch the scene play out.
"Scott," a pretty red head said, placing a slender hand on the guy's arm, "the Professor said we weren't supposed to fight them. Please don't start one."
Rogue looked over to Wanda, gauging her reaction, and was surprised to see the scarlet-girl's eyes locked upon a dark skinned boy among the eight before them. His were similarly transfixed onto hers. Interesting. When Rogue looked at Lance, his eyes seemed to not only focus on the lead boy, Scott Summers, but on a petite brunette girl. Very interesting. Bayville might not be so boring after all.
"What do you want, Summers?" Pietro asked, glaring at him.
"We're here to meet your new... recruits, where are they?" a girl with black hair and silver eyes said, stepping in front of Summers to prevent him from doing anything stupid, like make the Brotherhood mad.
Both Rogue and Amalie's eyebrows shot up. Is that what they thought the two girls were? Recruits? How very interesting.
Fred sneered at them, his large body blocking both girls from sight, "We don't have no recruits."
"Ve know you do, Fred," a boy with blue hair asked, "De Provessor told us!"
"And if we did, yo?" Toad asked.
"Then we're here to try to convince them not to hang out with the likes of you," a very well built, Russian sounding boy said, astounding everyone. Apparently he did not talk much. He blushed under the heavy stares and shrugged in a very Gaelic manner.
"They're our recruits, X-Geeks," Lance snarled.
Rogue sighed impatiently, not appreciating being called "recruits". Apparently, Amalie didn't much like it either, but she left it to Rogue, who pushed her way through the Brotherhood to where she could be seen. However, she didn't speak for a few minutes, because she knew they wouldn't have heard her. When she appeared from behind Fred, all eight of the X-Men stared at her in shock. What a knock out!
"First off, sugah, we ain' recruits. By cahlin' us that, ya implyin' that we're newbies. We ain', not even close. Second, do ya really think we gonna go with ya'll? Not when our mahma works for Magneto. An' third, who do ya think ya are, comin' up an' causin' a scene? Ah'm astonished an' not very impressed. Do ya really think Ah'd go with ya, or Ahmalie?"
The eight X-Men before her stared at her silently for a moment, not knowing what to do or say. The Brotherhood smirked, pleased that their newest member could get the stupid freaks to shut up. Lance, however, despite the fact that his secret girlfriend, Kitty (Magneto would freak if he knew that Lance and Kitty were going out, though that wouldn't even be half of what he would do if he found out his own daughter was going out with Spyke), was getting annoyed quickly. Magneto had said nothing about whether or not they could fight the X-Men if they showed up, so Lance didn't hesitate to use his powers.
"I'm done talking, X-Geeks!" He called out, and fisted his hands. The ground began to shake violently, and everybody swayed on the platform and the ground. Rogue turned back to look at him and glared in annoyance. Some warning.
The X-Men got into defense positions and the Brotherhood all jumped from the platform and onto the ground. Pietro turned to Amalie.
"Will you help us?"
Amalie rolled her eyes, "Duh."
Apparently, certain members of each teem liked to fight certain members of the other, and they all sort of paired off. Wanda was fighting with the black haired girl and the blue haired boy. Toad was fighting with the brunette Lance had been staring at. Lance himself was fighting with Summers and the red head. And Pietro was fighting the dark skinned boy Wanda appeared to be enamored with. That left the Russian and another guy, whom Rogue looked at appreciatively, his red on black eye and shaggy brown hair quite a handsome combination.
Rogue looked over as Amalie and the Russian began to fight. She wasn't worried about her sister, she knew that very little could actually hurt Amalie if she was paying attention. And thanks to her powers, she could be just as invincible if she touched the right person. Not to mention the fact that Magneto gave her a bracelet that would magnify any of the powers she had accumulated from touching people.
"Ah guess it's me an' ya, sugah," Rogue said sweetly, laying her duffle down beside the platform. Then, she removed her gloves, and smiled, "What's ya name, sugah?"
The man before her bowed, "T'is humble t'ief be called Remy, my petite."
Rogue looked at him in annoyance, "Ah ain' no petite, Swamp Rat."
Remy just smiled, then pulled out the Ace of Hearts, a card he didn't generally use on his first attack, and charged it up. Rogue felt no fear or apprehension, just excitement that she was finally back in action.
"Has ya Professa told ya what my powers are?" Rogue asked as she deftly dodged the card sent her way, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Her opponent shook his head, "No, petite, bu' Remy ain' t'e be worryin'. He t'ink's he can handle de chere."
Rogue rolled her eyes again, "Sexist, chauvinistic pig. Ah ain' yo' chere. An' don' make the mistake of misjudgin' me."
They danced for a while, back and forth, neither one gaining the upper hand. Every once in a while the ground would shake from one of Lance's attack's, or something would explode, though Rogue didn't know who did the actual deed. People were running around them, screaming, trying to get out of the way of the fighting mutants.
Finally, Rogue had enough of the little duet between herself and Remy. When she saw the first opening, she dove in, pressing her lips firmly to Remy's. He was so startled, he didn't realize until too late what was happening. Rogue tossed his limp form to the ground not seconds after she had kissed him, and smiled wickedly, her once green eyes now red on black. She looked out at her new comrades and decided she didn't like the way things were going. Amalie was holding her own, but the others weren't.
Grabbing the deck of cards that Remy carried in his brown trench coat pocket, Rogue quickly charged it and threw it right into the middle of the battle field, knocking everyone down. While the Russian Amalie was fighting struggled to get up, now covered completely by metal, Rogue ran to him and touched him briefly, effectively knocking him out and pulling his power into her. Within an instant, she was covered by metal, and her eyes were still the red on black she had taken from Remy.
The battle had effectively stopped when Rogue had thrown the card into the middle of it, and the X-Men looked on in horror as their two team mates where brought down by the new girl. The Brotherhood looked in awe, knowing that they had gained a powerful ally.
"Now, do Ah have ta get nasty, or will ya'll run along an' play in ya own corne'?" Rogue asked, her hands fisted at her side, her demon eyes alight with amusement and excitement.
Suddenly, a great wind blew through them, making Rogue's trench coat swirl around her metallic body, giving her a rather demonic look. A woman in black spandex with white hair flew down from the sky, followed closely by a brutish, yet handsome, looking man with three long metal objects poking out of his hands like claws. Amalie stood by her sister, smiling benignly, amused as well about the goings on. No, indeed, Bayville would not be boring.
"Children!" The woman thundered as she set herself down on the ground, her pale eyes blazing with furry, "I thought the Professor told you not to attack!"
"But, we, like, didn't!" The little brunette cried, her blue eyes wide with shock and indignation. Rogue and Amalie snickered at the valley girl accent.
This caught the wrath of the stormy woman, and she turned her eyes upon them, "And you two must be the new members of Magneto's followers."
Rogue smiled lazily, "Yeah, ya could say that. Ah'm Rogue."
"Ah'm Amalie, but ya'll can call me Dystopia," Amalie said after her. Both girls didn't appeared to be to worried about the arrival of the two adult mutants. In fact, they appeared to be bored.
The woman looked at Rogue a moment in confusion, obviously surprised to see two of her students' powers in one person. Rogue smiled, "Ah just need ta touch some one ta take their powers. Didn' ya'll know?"
This stunned the rest of the group into silence. Rogue and Amalie were getting rather annoyed. They had just had a long train ride from Mississippi and really just wanted to get into nice, warm beds. Turning to the rest of the Brotherhood, Amalie jerked her head towards the parking lot.
"Come on, dahlin's, let's scat," she said, and picked up her duffel. Rogue chuckled, and went to pick up hers. By now, some of the X-Men were helping Remy and the Russian, whom Amalie told her later was called Piotr, up from the ground, both coming back into consciousness.
They all watched in astonishment as the Brotherhood just walked away without a by your leave. As Rogue sauntered past Remy, who was being helped up by the black haired girl and the dark skinned boy, she smiled sexily, "That was fun, sugah. Maybe next time ya might stay awake for it ahll."
Remy stared at her in haze, still woozy from her attack. But not so dazed that he couldn't appreciate the voluptuous figure, still covered in Piotr's metal, sashay past him. A goofy grin came onto his face. She was going to be a challenge.
"We're not finished, Alvers!" The boy called Summers cried at their retreating forms.
Lance, without turning around, caused a mini-earthquake underneath Summers so that he fell onto his butt with a loud thud. Some of the X-Men snickered, but thought better of it when he directed his visor towards them. They didn't need to see his eyes to know he was glaring at them.
"Well, that was, like, interesting."
Well? How do you like? Good? Sucky? Let me know! Please please please review! Love Sparky! ^_^V Oh, by the way, if you see odd little black bars throughout the story, please forgive me. My computer is acting weird. Sorry!
Okay, with that settled, this is my first X-Men Evolution fic. I've seen most of the episode's, I think. So, I should know pretty much what is going on, even though this is an AU fic.

Acolytes and/or Brotherhood (they are kind of working together, or at least for Magneto):
Erik Lensher aka Magneto

Rogue rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. Turning, she eyed each member of the Brotherhood as she said their names, "Ya must be Wahnda, an' Fred, an' Pietro, an', obviously, Toad. Ah'm Rogue."
Pietro nodded vigorously, "Yeah, we know. And you're Amalie. Welcome to the group."
Amalie nodded absently as her eyes scanned the surrounding area, "Quaint, rustic, but cute. Ah think Ah'll lahke Bayville."
"Oh, but we should warn you about the X-Geeks, yo," Toad said, his long, green tongue whipping out to catch a nearby fly.
Everybody, even Fred, winced at the grotesque image. Wanda whacked Toad on the head, something that she did quite often.
"X-Geeks?" Rogue asked after she had recovered.
Fred nodded, "Yeah, duh, they've been bothering us for awhile now."
"Thaht was vague," Amalie said, her eyebrows raised.
Lance filled in, "Professor Xavier and a group of mutants who think the way to get the human's and mutants to live in harmony is by peaceful negotiations."
"How many?" Rogue asked, so she would know to be prepared.
"There's twelve of them. Well, eight students, really. Mystique and Sabertooth generally mess with Storm and Wolverine, two mutants you really don't want to get in a fight with. And there's also St. John, he generally helps us, but Magneto sent him somewhere else," Wanda answered.
Amalie and Rogue nodded, taking all the info in.
"We're gonna want th' nahmes an' powers of ahll of 'em," Amalie said as she pulled her satchel up more on her shoulder.
Lance nodded in acknowledgement, then motioned behind him, "Come on, we'll go to the car."
The two girls nodded in agreement, and the group made their way toward the end of the platform. They were about to go down the steps when Lance and Pietro, who were in the lead, stopped abruptly. Wanda cursed when she ran into her brother, and it took great effort for Fred not to run into anybody.
"Why did ya'll stop, sugah?" Rogue asked. She then looked around Lance's shoulder, and her eyebrow's rose when she saw eight teenagers standing at the very bottom of the steps.
"Summers," Lance growled, his brown eyes darkening. Rogue and Amalie looked at who appeared to be the leader, Summer's, as Lance called him, and took everything about him in, especially the ruby-red quartz visor he wore.
"Lance," the boy responded, his hands in fists at his sides. Rogue and Amalie looked at each other in amusement. Neither figured they had been seen yet, and decided to watch the scene play out.
"Scott," a pretty red head said, placing a slender hand on the guy's arm, "the Professor said we weren't supposed to fight them. Please don't start one."
Rogue looked over to Wanda, gauging her reaction, and was surprised to see the scarlet-girl's eyes locked upon a dark skinned boy among the eight before them. His were similarly transfixed onto hers. Interesting. When Rogue looked at Lance, his eyes seemed to not only focus on the lead boy, Scott Summers, but on a petite brunette girl. Very interesting. Bayville might not be so boring after all.
"What do you want, Summers?" Pietro asked, glaring at him.
"We're here to meet your new... recruits, where are they?" a girl with black hair and silver eyes said, stepping in front of Summers to prevent him from doing anything stupid, like make the Brotherhood mad.
Both Rogue and Amalie's eyebrows shot up. Is that what they thought the two girls were? Recruits? How very interesting.
Fred sneered at them, his large body blocking both girls from sight, "We don't have no recruits."
"Ve know you do, Fred," a boy with blue hair asked, "De Provessor told us!"
"And if we did, yo?" Toad asked.
"Then we're here to try to convince them not to hang out with the likes of you," a very well built, Russian sounding boy said, astounding everyone. Apparently he did not talk much. He blushed under the heavy stares and shrugged in a very Gaelic manner.
"They're our recruits, X-Geeks," Lance snarled.
Rogue sighed impatiently, not appreciating being called "recruits". Apparently, Amalie didn't much like it either, but she left it to Rogue, who pushed her way through the Brotherhood to where she could be seen. However, she didn't speak for a few minutes, because she knew they wouldn't have heard her. When she appeared from behind Fred, all eight of the X-Men stared at her in shock. What a knock out!
"First off, sugah, we ain' recruits. By cahlin' us that, ya implyin' that we're newbies. We ain', not even close. Second, do ya really think we gonna go with ya'll? Not when our mahma works for Magneto. An' third, who do ya think ya are, comin' up an' causin' a scene? Ah'm astonished an' not very impressed. Do ya really think Ah'd go with ya, or Ahmalie?"
The eight X-Men before her stared at her silently for a moment, not knowing what to do or say. The Brotherhood smirked, pleased that their newest member could get the stupid freaks to shut up. Lance, however, despite the fact that his secret girlfriend, Kitty (Magneto would freak if he knew that Lance and Kitty were going out, though that wouldn't even be half of what he would do if he found out his own daughter was going out with Spyke), was getting annoyed quickly. Magneto had said nothing about whether or not they could fight the X-Men if they showed up, so Lance didn't hesitate to use his powers.
"I'm done talking, X-Geeks!" He called out, and fisted his hands. The ground began to shake violently, and everybody swayed on the platform and the ground. Rogue turned back to look at him and glared in annoyance. Some warning.
The X-Men got into defense positions and the Brotherhood all jumped from the platform and onto the ground. Pietro turned to Amalie.
"Will you help us?"
Amalie rolled her eyes, "Duh."
Apparently, certain members of each teem liked to fight certain members of the other, and they all sort of paired off. Wanda was fighting with the black haired girl and the blue haired boy. Toad was fighting with the brunette Lance had been staring at. Lance himself was fighting with Summers and the red head. And Pietro was fighting the dark skinned boy Wanda appeared to be enamored with. That left the Russian and another guy, whom Rogue looked at appreciatively, his red on black eye and shaggy brown hair quite a handsome combination.
Rogue looked over as Amalie and the Russian began to fight. She wasn't worried about her sister, she knew that very little could actually hurt Amalie if she was paying attention. And thanks to her powers, she could be just as invincible if she touched the right person. Not to mention the fact that Magneto gave her a bracelet that would magnify any of the powers she had accumulated from touching people.
"Ah guess it's me an' ya, sugah," Rogue said sweetly, laying her duffle down beside the platform. Then, she removed her gloves, and smiled, "What's ya name, sugah?"
The man before her bowed, "T'is humble t'ief be called Remy, my petite."
Rogue looked at him in annoyance, "Ah ain' no petite, Swamp Rat."
Remy just smiled, then pulled out the Ace of Hearts, a card he didn't generally use on his first attack, and charged it up. Rogue felt no fear or apprehension, just excitement that she was finally back in action.
"Has ya Professa told ya what my powers are?" Rogue asked as she deftly dodged the card sent her way, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Her opponent shook his head, "No, petite, bu' Remy ain' t'e be worryin'. He t'ink's he can handle de chere."
Rogue rolled her eyes again, "Sexist, chauvinistic pig. Ah ain' yo' chere. An' don' make the mistake of misjudgin' me."
They danced for a while, back and forth, neither one gaining the upper hand. Every once in a while the ground would shake from one of Lance's attack's, or something would explode, though Rogue didn't know who did the actual deed. People were running around them, screaming, trying to get out of the way of the fighting mutants.
Finally, Rogue had enough of the little duet between herself and Remy. When she saw the first opening, she dove in, pressing her lips firmly to Remy's. He was so startled, he didn't realize until too late what was happening. Rogue tossed his limp form to the ground not seconds after she had kissed him, and smiled wickedly, her once green eyes now red on black. She looked out at her new comrades and decided she didn't like the way things were going. Amalie was holding her own, but the others weren't.
Grabbing the deck of cards that Remy carried in his brown trench coat pocket, Rogue quickly charged it and threw it right into the middle of the battle field, knocking everyone down. While the Russian Amalie was fighting struggled to get up, now covered completely by metal, Rogue ran to him and touched him briefly, effectively knocking him out and pulling his power into her. Within an instant, she was covered by metal, and her eyes were still the red on black she had taken from Remy.
The battle had effectively stopped when Rogue had thrown the card into the middle of it, and the X-Men looked on in horror as their two team mates where brought down by the new girl. The Brotherhood looked in awe, knowing that they had gained a powerful ally.
"Now, do Ah have ta get nasty, or will ya'll run along an' play in ya own corne'?" Rogue asked, her hands fisted at her side, her demon eyes alight with amusement and excitement.
Suddenly, a great wind blew through them, making Rogue's trench coat swirl around her metallic body, giving her a rather demonic look. A woman in black spandex with white hair flew down from the sky, followed closely by a brutish, yet handsome, looking man with three long metal objects poking out of his hands like claws. Amalie stood by her sister, smiling benignly, amused as well about the goings on. No, indeed, Bayville would not be boring.
"Children!" The woman thundered as she set herself down on the ground, her pale eyes blazing with furry, "I thought the Professor told you not to attack!"
"But, we, like, didn't!" The little brunette cried, her blue eyes wide with shock and indignation. Rogue and Amalie snickered at the valley girl accent.
This caught the wrath of the stormy woman, and she turned her eyes upon them, "And you two must be the new members of Magneto's followers."
Rogue smiled lazily, "Yeah, ya could say that. Ah'm Rogue."
"Ah'm Amalie, but ya'll can call me Dystopia," Amalie said after her. Both girls didn't appeared to be to worried about the arrival of the two adult mutants. In fact, they appeared to be bored.
The woman looked at Rogue a moment in confusion, obviously surprised to see two of her students' powers in one person. Rogue smiled, "Ah just need ta touch some one ta take their powers. Didn' ya'll know?"
This stunned the rest of the group into silence. Rogue and Amalie were getting rather annoyed. They had just had a long train ride from Mississippi and really just wanted to get into nice, warm beds. Turning to the rest of the Brotherhood, Amalie jerked her head towards the parking lot.
"Come on, dahlin's, let's scat," she said, and picked up her duffel. Rogue chuckled, and went to pick up hers. By now, some of the X-Men were helping Remy and the Russian, whom Amalie told her later was called Piotr, up from the ground, both coming back into consciousness.
They all watched in astonishment as the Brotherhood just walked away without a by your leave. As Rogue sauntered past Remy, who was being helped up by the black haired girl and the dark skinned boy, she smiled sexily, "That was fun, sugah. Maybe next time ya might stay awake for it ahll."
Remy stared at her in haze, still woozy from her attack. But not so dazed that he couldn't appreciate the voluptuous figure, still covered in Piotr's metal, sashay past him. A goofy grin came onto his face. She was going to be a challenge.
"We're not finished, Alvers!" The boy called Summers cried at their retreating forms.
Lance, without turning around, caused a mini-earthquake underneath Summers so that he fell onto his butt with a loud thud. Some of the X-Men snickered, but thought better of it when he directed his visor towards them. They didn't need to see his eyes to know he was glaring at them.
"Well, that was, like, interesting."
