Love Thy Sisters
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for my ocs of course!
A/N: Okay, I took some liberties here, so John never left the X-Men and Remy joined, but Jean is dead.
New Orleans, Louisiana"Why do I always get stuck being the dumb lookout," the girl standing on the roof of a museum muttered to herself.
"Because you're the youngest Elle Belle," the voice of the girl's sister chided her in her head.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that reading other people's thoughts isn't very nice," she snapped back.
"Yeah this annoying little brat tells me everyday, but I ignore her," the girl's sister's silky voice filled her head once more.
"Can you two shut up and get this job done?" a third voice broke into the girl's argument.
"Yes, ma'am," came the two's mocking replies.
The blonde grew bored as she stood on the roof of the museum, picking at her nails. This was just another job for the three sisters. It wasn't a very difficult job and they'd done hundreds of these before so she wasn't expecting any trouble. That's why she was slightly surprised when she heard the alarms go off and saw her sisters running out of the building. She quickly floated herself down from the roof to join them.
"You know, I thought this was supposed to be an easy job. A grab and go. A hit and run. No alarms. Did you hear any mention of alarms in the equation? And I totally did not wear the right shoes for this," Elle complained slightly out of breath from running to catch up with the two.
"Well that was before Chrissy thought it would be funny to trip the alarms," the shorter of the two brunettes said shooting a dirty look at the taller one.
"Come on, we do always enjoy the chase, and it's not like the cops are actually going to catch us. Besides, I think you could use the run Nicki. You look like you need a little exercise," Chrissy laughed. With that, Nicki shot her another dirty look.
"At least tell me the two of you got the artifact," Elle said, giving the two a pointed look.
"Of course we did. Have you no faith?" Chrissy replied as the three turned the corner.
Just as they turned the corner they caught sight of a line of police cars already set up there, seemingly waiting for them. Upon catching sight of this, the three quickly turned around only to see the cops that had been chasing them had almost caught up now. They were now officially trapped. They couldn't go backwards and they couldn't go forwards.
"Um…can you say shit?" Nicki whispered to the other two as they surveyed their surroundings. But Chrissy just started laughing at her comment.
"What in the world is so funny right now?" Nicki whispered harshly as the cops now seemed to be closing in on them.
"You have got to be kidding me. You honestly think we're going to get caught right now? Yeah right," Chrissy said. And with one flick of her hand two of the cop cars flew to the side.
"Oh I forgot about the great telekinetic," Nicki muttered sarcastically.
"Don't be jealous just because you got the brain power and I actually got the useful one," Chrissy chided.
"Put your hands up," one of the policemen shouted to them. With a quick glance around they noticed that all the officer's guns were pointed at them.
"Whatever you say," Chrissy muttered. Her hands flew up and so did their guns. She telekinetically tossed them all to the side. The police looked baffled and also a little fearful.
"I think now is when we make our getaway," Elle said. And with that the three took off.
X-Mansion"X-Men please report to my office immediately," Professor Charles Xavier telepathically said in all the X-Men's heads.
Moments later, Logan, Storm, Scott, Kitty, Bobby, Rogue, Piotr, Remy, and John assembled before him.
"What's up Professor?" Bobby asked.
"I have detected a disturbance down in New Orleans. It appears there are three girls with mutant powers in some trouble down there. I will give you the exact coordinates when you get on the jet. I want you to find them and bring them here," the Professor instructed his team.
"You got it Chuck," Logan told him before commanding everyone to the jet.
"Let's rock and roll!" Bobby shouted as Storm took off. It wasn't a very long flight, especially in their jet, and pretty soon they were coming to a landing. They landed in a forest near their coordinates so that no one accidentally stumbled upon the jet.
"So how do we find them?" Bobby asked as they all clambered down from the jet.
"Well I guess we like follow the police trail," Kitty said indicating the flashing lights and sirens.
"Good one, Kit-Kat," Logan muttered sarcastically.
"Ya know, Remy love de sweet smell of home," Remy said breathing deeply.
As the group made their way through the clearing in the trees, they watched the scene unfolding before them. There were cops and squad cars everywhere and in the middle of it all stood three girls, obviously sisters because of their resemblance. They were all decked out in black and obviously the center of the commotion. The oldest girl stood on the left, using her telekinesis to rid all the cops of their guns. She stood at about 5'6" with wavy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was a beauty. The shortest of the group, at about 5'4", stood on the right. She didn't seem to be doing anything, but stood with a worried expression upon her pretty face. She looked similar to her older sister with sleek brown hair and almond colored eyes. And in the middle stood the youngest. It wasn't the fact that she looked the youngest, she towered over her sisters at a proud 5'7", that indicated she was the youngest, but rather the demeanor in which the other two acted. They seemed protective of her. They both flanked her on either side with her being protected in the middle. Although, it didn't look like she needed much protecting as she flung a squad car into the air. She looked similar to her two sisters, but there was a definite contrast. She was blonde with blue eyes, whereas they were both brunettes.
"I think it's about time for that grand escape, don't you?" the short brunette called out to the taller one.
"Definitely. So then we'll just make a break for the forest and lose them in there. You ready?" she asked looking at the blonde. The blonde smiled, "Always."
The two turned in the direction of the forest. The older one looked at the X-Men for a second, a look of confusion clouded her face, but as quickly as it came it left. She turned away and focused on the task at hand. The two telekinetically threw everything in their way to the side, creating a gap in the police circle. The three girls took off, sprinting through the gap in the police barricade.
"Should we follow them?" Bobby asked, looking to Scott.
"Yeah," Scott said as they all took off after the girls.
After several exhausting minutes of chasing the girls and calling after them, they finally slowed their pace. They realized by now that it was no longer the cops chasing them. They finally stopped and had a silent conversation before they turned around to face the X-men.
"Finally, Jesus Christ, that was like running a marathon. I'm so out of shape," Bobby was the first one to break the silence.
"Is there a reason you people are following us?" Chrissy, always the oldest, spoke up.
"We're the X-Men," Bobby told them in a 'duh' tone.
The three girls looked at each other with similar amused expressions before they burst out laughing. Elle cocked an eyebrow and looked at them, "The what?" she asked while trying to control her laughter.
"We live at a school for mutants. It's a safe haven for mutants, where they can be safe and learn to control their abilities. Professor Xavier, the owner of the school, sent us here to convince you to come back with us. And judging from the fact that you were running from the cops it might be a good idea," Scott explained to the sisters.
"Remy thinks it would be a good for you girls. Especially considering your situation. I mean with your parents and your jobs and all," Remy said quietly. All three girls jaws dropped and there was silence.
"Remy?" Chrissy questioned in disbelief as she broke the silence.
Her sister quickly interrupted Chrissy before Remy had a chance to respond. "What the hell are you doing back here?" Remy refused to meet the gaze of the very pissed off brunette standing in front of him. Nicki was fuming with rage, and she wanted nothing more than to hit the man standing in front of her. So she did. Nobody even saw her fist coming until it connected with Remy's jaw.
"Remy guess he deserved dat," Remy muttered as he rubbed his sore jaw.
"You deserve a hell of a lot more than that," Nicki fumed at him. At with that being said, she pivoted on her heel and turned to walk away.
"Nicki, don' walk away from me," Remy called as he saw her turning to leave.
"Why not? You got to run away from me last time. This time I'm running away from you," Nicki took off disappearing further into the forest.
Chrissy let out a sigh and ran her hand through her hair. She threw a look at Elle and the two seemed to have a silent conversation. Elle's eyes closed briefly before she snapped them open and looked at Chrissy slightly alarmed.
"Do you have the artifact or does she?" Elle asked panicking slightly.
"She does, why?" Chrissy asked slightly puzzled. That was before realization dawned on her and she threw a questioning glance at Elle. Elle nodded to confirm what Chrissy had been thinking. "Damn it is she really that stupid? She went to go drop the artifact off alone?"
"Should we go after her?" Elle suggested to her older sister.
"No, I will you stay here," Chrissy said with authority. She knew making Elle stay behind would annoy her, but she'd rather deal with an annoyed Elle than a dead Elle. And she knew this could be potentially dangerous.
"Fine," Elle grumbled, "Just promise me you'll be careful."
"I always am," with a cheeky grin she followed the way Nicki went just minutes ago.
Elle watched her sister go until she could no longer see her before turning around to see the confused faces of the X-Men. But she was only looking at one.
"Hey Rems! I missed ya," she told him as he enveloped her in a hug.
