Pairings: Romy, Rolo, Amyro, Kiotr or Kurtty I haven't decided I like both and some Ororo/Remy family stuff so farJ after apocalypse for this fic I'm just gonna say that magneto has terminated the acolytes contracts or something ok? Ok now let the story beginJ
With some comic aspects so here's a summary sorta : ororo marryed black panther when she was still with her village. He died in a fight. She joined the x men a year later like 18 17ish. Logan knows she was marryed. Like in the comics ororo met remy and he helped her get her memory back that's the only parts affiliated with the comics..I guess.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything written here.
It was a normal day at the institute, all the x men were spread out ,most at the mall or outside in the back yard of the mansion. All though a few were still inside even on this lovely summer day, Ororo was attending to her plants, Logan was working on his bike in the garage, Rogue was …well doing whatever Rogue does, and the Professor was on Cerebro. Until there was a knock on the door of the mansion.
Rogue sighed and got up from watching the matrix , which she had watched about 7 times. She was irritated cause it had been at 1 of her favorite parts the "the spoon does not exist" bit. But from prior experience she decided to answer the door not wanting the person having to witness Logan cooing to his "baby" as he fixed it if they decided to go check the garage. Ah swear that man would marry that bike if it was legal she thought rolling her eyes and opening the door…for her jaw to then drop.
Lo and behold standing in the door way was that annoying Swamp Rat and his 2 Magneto lackey friends. She quickly recovered and glared while getting ready to mentally cry for help if necessary.
"What do ya' want?" she spoke evenly.
The Cajun grinned, she just gave him the perfect opening Rogue realized to late. "You of course mon chere. They don't call me the Rajun Cajun for nothing"
Pyro snorted "No one calls you that mate only you do" Receiving a glare from Remy and a smirk from Rogue.
Remy's mood slightly soured from his teammates comment said with a smirk "Actually ,chere, we're here to speak to professor Xavier he invited us."
Rogue snorted "I highly dou-"
"Remy!"
"Stormy!" Gambit said with a happy smile on his face as the white haired goddess walked over happily but with a mock scowl on her face said "Don't call me that" then turned to Rogue and said " Rogue it's ok you can let them in Charles is probably expecting them, right?" worriedly , directing the last word to Gambit who nodded and rolled his demonic eyes saying "Don't worry Stormy I've decided t' try out dis good guy life you keep advertisn' ta me and decided to bring da guys wit me. Right now I might just take you up on dat offer." he said looking at Rogue who glared back suspiciously but backed out of the way nonetheless letting the ex acolytes in.
Ororo rolled her eyes, saying "Don't call me that" but accepted the hug from him happily and whispered "I missed you brother" and he responded "I missed you too sister". Rogue just stood there speechless while Piotr solemnly watched with longing in his eyes and John clicked his lighter.
That's when Logan strolled in and a *snikt* was heard in the room as his claws slid out and he growled. "What are ya doin Gumbo?" Remy released Ororo but kept an arm around her shoulder.
"Just huggin my little sister" he said and grinned when Ororo elbowed him in the ribs.
"No let me rephrase that for you, What are you and your buddies doin here and if you don't tell the truth I'll -" but before he could finish his threat Piotr seemed to lose control of his patience and stepped forward and spoke for the first time " We are here to join the x men, we were invited by the Professor and we would like to speak to him… now please."
Logan stared at him for a second then retracted his claws still watching all three acolytes. He had nothing against the Piotr kid cause he knew he was being blackmailed but the other 2 ….he didn't know their stories. He especially didn't like the Gambit guy, too cocky for his own good and the way he was holding Ororo and shooting unreadable glances towards her didn't make him feel any better. The Pyro kid he didn't like either only because he seemed to like fire a bit too much and that made Logan a little nervous, not that he would admit it though. So as he was about to say something ,that was most likely a threat, he was stopped by Charles rolling into the room.
Charles looked around the room seeing Piotr's determined face, John's absent clicking lighter, Rogue's still confused and shocked face, Logan's suspicious,and slightly jealous, expression and thoughts, Ororo's serene happy expression and Remy's trade mark mischievous look. He chuckled at all the thoughts and said "Logan calm yourself, it is true I have invited the acolytes to join our team their ,contracts have technically been terminated from when Magneto was presumed dead months ago. Now Remy, Piotr, and St. John please come with me. Logan and Ororo you may come too if you would like." Then wheeled around and rolled back to his study with all the people he had named following except Ororo who said she was going to start cooking dinner.
"Uh Miss. Munroe can ah help? Ah got nothn bettah to do." Rogue asked ,while glaring at the Cajun who threw a wink over his shoulder at her.
"Of course child come with me" she said with a light almost sad smile on her face.
In the study***********************************************************
Remy was nervous and worried. Nervous because 1) Wolverine was staring at him like he was going to murder him and 2) because he didn't know if Xavier would except them or not, after all they had been enemies and they were a weird bunch. He looked around from his position leaning against the wall. The place was nice but he wouldn't steal anything ,Stormy would kill him… if Wolverine didn't get to him first. John was sitting in a chair and as usual clicking his lighter open and close. Piotr was speaking to the Professor right now about finding his sister. It turned out his sister, Ilyana, was being held at another of Magneto's bases in California with some other children and they were going to do a rescue mission soon. Xavier had taken it upon himself to look into magneto's mind when he didn't have his helmet on and had caught a glimpse of the fact.
At hearing that Gambit spoke "We're going with you big guy." as John nodded in agreement and Piotr gave both grateful looks and thanked them and then continued talking to the professor who gave them interested looks. Both John and Gambit had both promised to help find Piotr's sister if they ever got out of their contracts. Gambit had agreed because whenever he pictured Stormy or someone else from his family getting kidnapped, or worse Rogue, he knew he would do anything to get them back. John he didn't really know why but he knew the kid had a big brother streak in him. John had once shared that his father was abusive and whenever his dad threatened his sisters he would get in the way and take the beating. So when the time came John and him had convinced their friend to come with them and get help from Xavier. Thinking about Stormy brought him back to his worry. He had felt some deep sadness radiating off her under her joy from seeing him and he had a slight suspicion what it was about.
Remy tuned in now because the conversation had changed to them staying at the institute. Logan said ,in a nutshell, that he didn't trust them but eventually agreed that everyone deserves a second chance ,but if any of them do something wrong that some very graphic and unpleasant things would happen to them. By the end of Logan's speech all three looked a little pale and Xavier looked amused.
"Now that Logan has had his say I will have mine, I agree with Logan …well except for that last part, although it was amusing. So we will put you on a probation period of about 2 months, does that sound satisfactory? Yes ?" all agreed " Well now that that's settled Kitty will show you to your rooms" Xavier said
John looked confused and voiced it" Oo the 'ell is Kitty?"
"Well you might now me as Shadowcat but my real name is Kitty, Kitty Pryde." A blue eyed, brunette and blue haired girl said. It wasn't the fact that she had appeared out of no where that made all three look at her shocked , or her hair, although Gambit and Collosus were better at hiding it than John. John jumped a mile high ,tripped , fell on the floor banging his hand on the desk while saying some curses that even made Gambit raise an eyebrow. No it wasn't that it was that when she had spoken her head was the only thing being seen popping up from the floor making her look like she had been be headed. She grinned "Sorry didn't mean to scare you" although she didn't seem to mean it. Then the rest of her body came up wearing a red shirt and black pants.(AN I prefer that outfit to the pink one)
Logan chuckled and said " Nice one Half-Pint" She made a face at the name but grinned mischievously. "Just wait I'll get you someday too Mr. Logan. So who are like these guys? Well obviously I know who you are I just don't know who you like are you know?"
"Ah I see you've improved on your air walking Kitty nicely done, and these are ,as you know, the acolytes they have decided to join us, their contracts have been terminated. They can introduce themselves but I would like you to show them to their rooms please."
"Uh huh " she said skeptically looking them over with a slight frown on her face then turned to the Professor with a cheery grin "Sure Prof I'll show them around the Mansion too if you want"
Xavier smiled "Thank you Kitty that would be wonderful" while Logan grunted and said "be careful Half Pint"
Kitty rolled her eyes and said "Mr. Logan you like taught me."
Wolverine gave her a considering look then grinned and said "Your right" then turned to the three boys "You three be careful" he growled "or else"
"Or else wa-" john said but was cut off by Piotr's hand on his mouth who said " Thank you sir"
"Yeah lets go see ta rest of dis place." Gambit said with a grin. Xavier nodded and looked down at some papers on his desk, an obvious dismissal. But right as Kitty was about to phase through the door the Professor said, still looking down " Oh and Kitty please unphase Kurt from the tree and Bobby from that wall… before supper at least."
Kitty grinned sheepishly as Gambit cocked and eyebrow and Pyro looked on in confusion. " I will Professor" she said then walked through the door making Gambit , who was following her, run into it.
Kitty's head popped back through and said "Come on" impatiently.
Gambit opened the door this time, silently promising himself that he would never follow her again.
When they were outside the office and the 3 boys were following her through the hallways ,she paused and turned around slightly and said " So what are your real names?"
"The big guy is Piotr Rasputin and da pyro is St. John Allerdyce . And I am no oter den Remy Lebeau pleasure to meet ya petite chat." he said bowing over her hand and brushing his lips against it.
"Yeah Rogue told me about you ,The Rajun Cajun I presume?" she said not looking impressed by his French or charm.
"Oui and I told you some people call me that" he said pointedly to John, who shrugged and said "Sorry mate"
"She also called you swamp rat, idiot Cajun, asshole, Rajun idiot Cajun, and many more…unpleasant things. My favorite is like Sir Swamp Rat of the rajun diehary Cajuns." Kitty said with a giggle.
As John roared with laughter Remy looked thoughtful and then said "So chere talks about me?" with a cocky grin as Kitty rolled her eyes.
AN: So wattya think? That's the set up chapter I guess you could call it the excitement comes in the next couple chaptersJ
