Chapter 2
Institute:
Evan grins as he watches John deliberately annoy Scott, the dude was way too uptight anyhow and Serena was owning Logan at Mortal Kombat, whichever version while Gambit just sits back and takes it all in, having joined Evan in his people watching, " How ya likin' it he'ah so far? " Remy asks him.
" It's cool though maybe now I can finally get some staff training, seeing as how my mutation would make that useful. " Evan points out.
" Remy can take a hint, Remy should be havin' time ta train ya now. " Remy says, grinning. He was the only one whom could teach Evan how to fight with a staff.
Storm overhears this and groans, " Just don't teach him to be a thief, his parents would kill me. "
Evan grins, " I should learn how to pick locks though, it is a handy skill, Auntie O. "
" All right, teach him all of your escaping tricks, Remy, he does have a point. "
Once she had moved away Remy looks at him, " Mah fille already taught ya, didn' she? "
" I can neither confirm nor deny this. " Evan says.
Remy smirks, " Oh, she be teachin' ya well. "
" Knock it off, Pyro! " Scott suddenly exclaims, having gotten tired of John's constant clicking of his lighter.
" I'm not doing anything. " John says evenly.
Gambit grins, " Oh, Ah be teachin' 'im prop'ah. "
Evan shakes his head at this, " I'm thinking you really saved him, you showed him not everyone is scum. "
" Fille be doin' most of da work fah dat. " Remy admits, he just couldn't understand how a parent could even think of harming their own child. Serena was his most precious possession and after the beat down he laid on Mystique every other one of her associates knew it. Hell, Magneto didn't even attempt to go anywhere near her as Pietro had taken a liking to her, acting as an older brother. The Professor understood that Serena, John, and Remy all lived in the grays of the world and Pietro only wanted his father's love, his old man just couldn't show it.
Remy had taken the boy under his wing though Pietro wasn't quite to the point where he would leave the Brotherhood yet. Unlike most of the others Remy understood what it was like for a lot of the lost kids. Pietro was starting to bring Lance, the geokinetic with him whenever he met up with Remy. Both boys made sure John and Serena made it home safe as Lance had all but adopted John as his little brother. They were the only two that Remy could truly say were neutral. He also knew Lance had a crush on Kitty and she had one on Lance.
Serena grins when Logan snarls as he loses to her again, " Gumboette, you, me, Danger Room. "
" Hey, père, Wolvie be wantin' ta spar wit' me, dat okay wit' ya? " Serena calls out.
" Ah think dat be okay. Evan, wanna watch fille drive Wolvie nuts. "
John was already at the doorway to the rec room Evan not far behind him, " Ah'll take dat as a yes. " Remy says.
Scott blinks and then scrambles after them, no way was he missing this. Serena and John were only allowed to go all out with Logan after all. Remy was the one to set the stage for the spar and Logan curses him out quite creatively, the sim was a thief's dream. Scott grins, " You chose that on purpose, didn't you? "
" Remy don't know what ya talkin' 'bout. " is the answer though the red eyed man was grinning devilishly. Serena got her pranking streak from him after all. John and Evan both smile, this promised to be good. About halfway through the spar and Logan was cursing Gumbo for giving his daughter the home field advantage Kitty and Kurt show up.
" Mr. Logan really doesn't look happy, does he? " Kitty mutters.
" Not our fault Serena knows New Orleans like the back of her hand and knows how to keep from being tracked by scent. Not to mention her empathy makes it so she always knows where he is and can stay ahead of him. " John says.
" Dude, you are so teaching me how to do that. " Evan says.
" Remy can do dat. Falls und'ah escapin' tricks. " Remy answers, smirking at the look of frustration on his friend's face.
Kurt joins the boys in watching how Serena was evading Logan, " Sie(she) is rather good, isn't sie? "
" Ah trained 'er mahself. Fille does her père proud. " Remy says.
" I think I'm beginning to like you, Gambit. " Scott says, anyone whom could annoy Logan like this was cool.
Remy grins, " Dat be a high compliment comin' from ya, Cykey. "
Scott sighs at this, " I'll admit that I may be a bit anal about certain things. "
Evan and John both snort at this, " A bit, Dude? " Evan asks, smiling.
" Very anal about certain things, I will try to loosen up some. " Scott amends, " I'll also try to keep Jean and her curiosity under control. "
" Please do or Serena really will turn her into a vegetable. Serena doesn't like to advertise she's a telepath, telekinetic, and teleporter too. She generally sticks to her legacy mutation and empathy. " John says.
Remy winces, Jean was a good girl, she just needed to learn telepathic etiquette before his fille taught her the lesson even more painfully. Logan snarls as Serena slips away from him again, " Gumbo, when this ends I will make you pay for this. "
" Mon Ami, ya know ya like da challenge. " Remy retorts.
A brief smile is seen on Logan's face before he returns to the evasion spar. Logan had to admit the girl was good, a proper challenge for a feral. Gumbo had trained her well, still he was not going to lose to a twelve year old of any gender. Three and a half hours later it was concluded a draw. " Gumbo, remember that sim, I will beat Gumboette in there. " Logan says as they emerge.
Serena smirks, " Not likely, Wolvie. Ah know mah hometown like da back of mah hand. Ah not be losin' easily ta ya the'ah. "
" We'll see, Gumboette. " Logan says.
" Serena, you did good. " Scott says, " I'd like to extend a truce and maybe we can use that sim to train against you and Gambit. "
Father and daughter both grin devilishly at this, " Dat be all right wit' Remy. "
" Think ya can handle me, Cykey. " Serena says.
John smirks, " You all do realize that I'll be helping Serena and Gambit, right? "
Scott curses under his breath at this, " Forgot about that. "
" It'll be good for us, Scott. " Evan says.
" He's right, mein freund(my friend), we could end up against someone of their skill set sometime in the future. " Kurt adds.
Even Logan benefitted from sparring with Gambit as the Cajun was a wily opponent. He made the feral have to stop and think before charging in headlong. Gambit was not an opponent you took lightly, even without his abilities he could still kick ass and take names. With his abilities he was lethal and Logan loved it as he was one of the few Gambit could go all out against and not have to worry about killing him.
Time Gates:
A young woman with long viridian hair up in a half bun with garnet colored eyes, holding a staff shaped like a giant key sighs wearily, Mercury-joo should not have interfered. The hime was perfectly fine with her mother and step-father. Of course, Sailor Pluto, for she is the keeper of time/space, failed to acknowledge the fact her hime could have had her left arm amputated. She had stood sentry since the fall and now everything was being screwed to hell.
She wore a white sleeveless body suit, black boots, knee high with white trim along the top, black skirt and scarf along with the trim on her white elbow length gloves, garnet colored front and back bows, golden tiara on her brow with an oval shaped garnet in the center and garnet colored triangular shaped earrings, black choker with a round garnet hanging from it, of course, she couldn't just go after the hime as Gambit was not a mutant to mess with and protected his daughter fiercely. Not to mention the fact that Pyro, St. John Allerdyce would also defend the girl just as fiercely along with Pietro Maximoff, Quicksilver.
This entire situation was just one giant cluster fuck in her humble opinion. Though she had to admit she hadn't known the hime wasn't Kenji's and she did need to learn how to control her legacy mutation from her father, still, the little bitch needed to be in Tokyo.
Current Gates:
Sailor Current stood with her light blue wavy hair, similar to Destiny and Pluto's only she had no bun on the top of her head, her suit was lavender, bows, scarf, gloves which were wrist length, leggings, star shaped earrings, star shaped charm on the light blue choker, and star shaped charm on the light blue skirt were teal. The light blue boots had teal trim at the top, the gloves had light blue trim, the skirt had teal at the very bottom edging the skirt and above that was a stripe of lavender. The star in the center of the bow was light blue along with the scarf which had three teal lines on it. The tiara was golden with a light blue star shaped gem in it and in Current's right hand was a golden hilted sword with a light blue blade, similar in style to Sailor Uranus'.
The guardian of the Currents sighs wearily, dear Poseidon, Aeolus, and Chronos what had she done to deserve this. Ripples were still spreading out from the fact Remy LeBeau had custody of the hime, as she was his daughter, and the fact that he had become the legal guardian of St. John Allerdyce, changing the boy's life for the better along with mentoring Pietro Maximoff and Lance Alvers. Remy was one hell of a wild card, that was for sure. All she knew was the fact that she had to keep Pluto in check as Destiny was locked in a fierce battle at her Gates.
This meant that she was on her own to try and come up with a plan to aid the hime and Pyro when they came to Japan to deal with her Lunar Destiny. Callista Meiou was stumped as how to go about stopping Pluto's machinations. Sure, she could guard Currents from wherever but, she had to be smart about this. She had to be able to counter the insane temporal/spatial senshi. " Sailor Eddy, Sailor Ebb, report to me immediately. " she calls out.
Sailor Ebb, with her brown eyes looking happy, was the first to arrive, lightly tanned from her normal peach skin tone, she had a lavender hafted scepter that was similar to the spiral heart moon scepter in one hand, her body suit, skirt, and scarf thing were lavender as well, along with her boots which were like Pluto's in style. The boots had orange edging along the top, the scarf thing had one orange stripe, the skirt had an orange stripe along the bottom edge and then a light blue stripe above that. The front and back bows were orange as well as the wrist length gloves with three lavender ruffles attached. The bodysuit was also sleeveless, her choker was lavender with a small round orange gem on it in the center of the front and there was also a round orange gem in the center of her front bow. Her hair went from dark orange to light orange gradually, she had brown eyes and her pigtail were reminiscent of Sailor Ceres' own minus the loops of hair. The tiara was golden with a lavender shaded gem set in the center of it. The waist band above the skirt was also colored orange.
Sailor Eddy arrives next and is chocolate skinned like Sailor Destiny with orange eyes and a sleeveless white body suit. Her scarf, cape, boots, and glove ruffles are all russet colored and along with her choker. The boots are edged in dark red at the top and similar in style to those of the Kinmoku system. Her gloves are white and fingerless and she has dark red arm guards over top of them. The back bow is dark red while instead of a bow on the front it is more small set of wings colored dark red as well with a round russet colored gem in the center of it. Her hair goes from aqua to light blue and part of it is held up in a half bun that has a dark red bow wrapped around it. Her skirt has a stripe of dark red edging the bottom with a stripe of light blue above it. Her scarf has a tripe of light blue running through it while the waistband of her skirt is also dark red. The choker had a dark red round gem in the center of it while her tiara is golden with a dark red gem set in it as well. She bore no weapons whatsoever but had no need of them, though she did have a Javelin that she used to guard the eddies of fate, time, and destiny.
" What's up boss lady. " Sailor Ebb asks.
Current sighs, " Sailor Destiny is currently fighting to defend her gate and I know Sailor Pluto is going to try and trap the hime with Endymion to create Crystal Tokyo. I need you two to head for Bayville and become students at Xavier's Institute to keep an eye on the hime or one can go there and the other to the Brotherhood to watch over Quicksilver and Avalanche. I need to have eyes and ears there with so many ripples still being felt with Gambit being the hime's father. "
Sailor Eddy frowns, " I'll go to the Institute while Ebb goes to the Brotherhood. In my civilian life I had been going to school with Evan Daniels, Spyke. Maybe we can save him from that Pow-R8 drink. "
Callista frowns, Pow-R8 should never have been created to begin with, that had to be stopped and soon. Though with Remy in the mix you never knew how things were going to turn out. " Keep abreast of the Pow-R8 development and if necessary I'll hire Remy to steal the formula and then destroy it along with any and all notes. "
Sailor Eddy grins, " I love watching Gambit at work. "
" Agreed, maybe I can finally snag Pietro. " Ebb says softly, he'd always had that rivalry with Evan but, he could be sweet to her.
