Everyone had paired off, equal in strength. Or atleast equal enough to look flashy when they were fighting.

Why Rogue and Avalanche had paired off, however, was a mystery. Lack of better options, maybe?

"Looks like it's you and me, Rogue."

Rogue rolled her eyes, not moving from her battle stance.

"Whatcha gonna do, mullet man? Rock mah world?"

Lance sneered in response.

"Yeah, just as soon as you'd suck the life outta mine, skunk girl."

"That an invitation, salad bowl?"

"You wish, zombie."

"Zombie?"

"Vampire's been overdone. A lot. And succubus just sounds... Wrong."

"Succubus? Who been teachin' you the big kid words?"

"Pietro wrote a list of names for Wanda, along with definitions, examples, and pictures. That's why his head whiskers are gone."

Rogue spared a glance at Pietro and laughed. His rabbit ears were missing.

"Wanda sho' knows how to get him where it hurts. That's some originality there."

"Something you're obviously lacking."

"Yeah, an' yo' cliché lines are so original, right?"

"Like you can talk. 'Mah pow'res 're yo' powers an' Ah cin take mo' den one!' Hah. I just about barfed from the cheese in that."

"Shut up. It's not lahke we can control our dialogue."

"Sucks ass, right?"

"At least this author lahkes swearin'. Fuck all the drama, Ah was angstin' cause of all the censors."

"Why're we even fighting anyway?"

"Beats me. We're both just followin' orders, right?"

Lance shrugged.

"Where the hell are we, anyway?"

"Some town not worth carin' about."

"I saw a diner on the way here. How bout you grab Kitty and whoever and I get the guys and we split?"

"Right. Kitty'll really wanna hang with you after what you did."

"Hey, that wasn't my fault!"

"Yeah, it wasn't your fault that you acted lahke a complete asshole and pissed her off. Ah'll jus' grab Tabitha. You guys lahked her, right?"

"Hah. Liked. Right. Or we could just leave. Right now. The guys don't look like they're gonna stop fighting anytime soon, anyway." Lance said, giving the maniacally laughing blond throwing cherry bombs at everyone around her a wary glance.

And so the two ran off into the sunset.
