Superdani akaVioletFairchild: Lol I know that was one of my favorite lines. Since Logan likes to smoke his cigars I had to write something like that in there. :)
Raine44354: I know Kurt's cool. But he should have had more fighting scenes in the movie. And I agree with you there. I think Pyro's temper is so cute.
Corbsxx: Thank you. I'm glad you like the chapter. And you're right about that, Gambit does rock.
Here's Chapter Four! :) Gambit's in this chapter. Yay Gambit lol.
As night fell, the front doors to the mansion opened up and a young man in his mid twenties walked in. He had shoulder length brown hair and light brown eyes. He was wearing a blue button down shirt, a long black trench coat, black pants, and black shoes. His name was Remy LeBeau aka Gambit. As Logan was heading up to bed he passed the main doors and saw Gambit.
"Who the hell are you," Logan asked as he walked over to the man.
"I am Remy LeBeau," Gambit said in a Cajun accent. "Also known as Gambit. And you must be Wolverine am I correct?"
"Depends, what are you doing here," Logan asked.
"I'm an X-Man," Gambit explained. "Professor Xavier asked me to help watch the children while he was away."
"Right," Logan said. He wasn't sure if he could entirely trust this guy but then again, he didn't really trust anyone to begin with.
"Where is everyone," Gambit asked.
"Sleeping," Logan explained. "Which is where I'm headed right now."
"Well I might as well get some shut eye myself," Gambit said as he headed up the stairs to the dormitories.
Logan rolled his eyes at the Cajun and headed to his own room.
Later that night, Melissa found herself having another nightmare. She saw herself in a large tube filled with a green liquid. Wires were on her and she saw shadowy figures walking around the room. They were muttering something but she couldn't make out what they were saying. She then felt a sharp pain go through her as a strange silver liquid started pouring into her body. She screamed and she sat up in her bed. Cold sweat was pouring down her face and she was breathing heavily.
Melissa turned towards her nightstand and she saw that it was a little after two in the morning. She pulled the covers off of her revealing a long red nightgown. Just then she heard a knock on the door and Pyro's concerned voice from the other side.
"Melissa, are you alright," Pyro asked. "I heard you scream."
Melissa smiled when she heard how concerned he was. "I'm fine," she assured him as she put her robe on and opened the door.
"Are you sure," Pyro asked.
"Yeah, it was just another nightmare," Melissa told him.
"Same one," Pyro asked her.
"Yep," Melissa said. "I'm gonna head down and get a drink."
"You want some company," Pyro asked.
"No that's okay," Melissa said. "You get some rest."
"Alright," Pyro said. He then turned around and walked back to his and Bobby's room which was across the hall from her own.
Melissa smiled before she walked down the stairs to the kitchen. As she walked over to the cupboard to get a soda she didn't notice that there were three other people in the room.
"Hey kid," Logan said.
Melissa almost jumped out of her skin. She spun around and faced Logan, Bobby, and Mike. Her claws were out and fire surrounded her hands.
"Whoa, whoa it's us," Bobby said when he saw that she was about to strike.
"Oh," Melissa said as she made the claws go back into her hands and the fire disappeared. "Sorry about that. I guess I should have warned you guys that I don't like being sneaked up on."
"I'll try and remember that," Logan said with a grin on his face as he put his soda down on the table.
Melissa walked over to them and she sat down beside Logan. After removing the lid off of her soda she turned to Bobby. "You wouldn't mind would ya," Melissa asked as she held her warm soda out to him.
"Nope," Bobby said with a smile on his face as he took her soda from her and blew into it making ice form on the inside and out.
"Thanks," Melissa said as she took her drink from him and took a sip.
"Sure thing," Bobby said.
"What's everyone doing up," Melissa asked.
"Felt like a snack," Mike told them as he indicated his and Bobby's ice cream dishes.
"What about you kid," Logan asked.
"Nightmare," Melissa said. "You?"
"Same," Logan said as he took another sip of his soda.
Just then Logan heard the sound of footsteps and he got to his feet.
"What is it," Mike asked as he looked at Logan.
"Shh," Logan told him as he continued to listen.
He then left the room and the three teenagers got to their feet.
"Did you guys hear that," Melissa asked when she thought she heard the sound of footsteps outside the room.
When the three weren't paying attention, a soldier walked into the room aiming his gun at him.
"You picked the wrong house bub," Logan said as he came up from behind the soldier and put his arm around his neck.
Melissa, Bobby, and Mike spun around when Logan said this and they were shocked to see the soldier. But before Logan could finish the soldier off, an ear piercing scream filled the mansion. The three teenagers fell to their knees and placed their hands over their ears to try and block out the sound but that didn't help much. The soldier started firing rapidly as Logan let go of him to cover his ears from the earsplitting pain.
Bobby and Mike dived behind the counter to avoid the bullets from the soldier's gun and as Melissa went to dive behind it as well a bullet hit her shoulder. Melissa winced in pain when she felt the bullet penetrate her skin. But luckily, she had healing powers so the bullet popped out almost as fast as it entered. Then the earsplitting scream suddenly stopped and Logan was able to jab his claws into the soldier. Once Logan killed him, he spun around to the three frightened looking teens and spoke.
"You guys alright," Logan asked.
The three teenagers couldn't seem to find their voices so they settled for nodding.
Gambit rushed out of his room and he had his deck of cards in one hand and a staff in the other. As he turned a corner he saw at least ten soldiers making their way towards them with their guns drawn.
"Now I know you don't want to mess with me," Gambit said with a grin on his face. The soldiers aimed their guns at Gambit and continued walking towards him. "Have it your way then," Gambit said as he charged at the soldiers. His staff started glowing a purple color and he started swinging it at the soldiers. Once the staff collided with each solider they fell to the ground. When it there were only five soldiers left, Gambit jumped backwards and tossed a few cards at them. The cards exploded on contact taking out the rest of the soldiers.
Logan and the three teens walked out of the kitchen and Logan saw that more soldiers were heading their way. "Wait here," Logan warned the teens as he popped out his claws and started making his way towards the soldiers.
As Melissa watched Logan take out the soldiers, she noticed that Mike and Bobby had taken off towards the elevators.
"Where are you going," Melissa asked as the elevator doors started to shut.
"I've got to find Rogue," Bobby told her.
"And I've got to find Kitty," Mike said.
Before Melissa could answer back the elevator doors shut. She spun around and started running towards the main stairs. She ran up them and as she turned a corner she bumped into Pyro.
"John," Melissa said with relief in her voice when she saw her boyfriend.
"Melissa," Pyro said as he pulled her into a quick hug. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Melissa assured him. "What about you?"
"I'm okay to. Come on let's get out of here," Pyro said as he grabbed her hand and the two took off down the stairs again.
But when they made it down the stairs and turned a corner, they saw a small group of soldiers standing in front of them. The two teens backed away as the soldiers aimed their guns at them. But before they got a chance to fire, there was a small explosion from behind the soldiers causing them to fly in different directions. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, Pyro and Melissa saw Gambit standing there twirling a card in between his fingers.
"You kids alright," Gambit asked.
Pyro and Melissa nodded and Gambit motioned for them to follow which they didn't protest. With Gambit protecting them, they made it passed most of the soldiers. They soon ran into Bobby, Rogue, Kitty, and Mike who were watching Logan take out a few soldiers.
"I found two more," Gambit told Logan.
"Good," Logan said as he popped his claws back into his hands. "Get them out of here."
"All the exits are blocked off," Gambit said.
"There's a secret exit over here," Kitty said as she pointed towards one of the walls.
Everyone rushed towards it and Logan opened the exit as they heard more soldiers getting closer.
"Get in! Quick," Logan ordered.
Mike and Kitty were the first in followed by Gambit, Bobby, and Rogue. Melissa went to get in but she stopped when she saw Logan pop his claws out again.
"Logan come on," Melissa said.
"Go," Logan told her.
Melissa didn't argue and climbed into the small hole. She turned around to wait for Logan but he slammed the door shut in her face.
