Summary: There's a new waitress at the Bayville coffee hangout, and she's stealing a certain pyromaniac's heart. This is a Pyro/OC fiction. The Acolytes actually are staying at the Mansion, the Brotherhood is on their own, and everyone is going to school!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in X-Men or Evolution, they are all owned by Marvel. However Kaylee is my character. Viva the pairings! I'm also gonna assume you know who the characters are by name and I don't have to put a detailed description to every single one. Maybe if I decide to revise the story, but for now, enjoy!
Author's Note: I'm so sorry for not continuing this and thank you so much to my readers for your reviews!
Chapter 7
Kaylee was aware of two things from inside the closet. The first was she had heard a large bang noise, followed by Cliff's Shreik of doom as she was now going to call it. The second thing she had noticed was it sounded like there was a fight going on. No cries of the police, gun shots or sirens. It sounded like a lot of grunting and muffled voices one of which had an Australian accent. 'John! He found me!' Her heart picked up speed and she was trying to bang and make a bunch of noise without making her head swim even more. She knew who that voice belonged to. He'd come for her! He came to rescue her like a Prince rescuing a princess in a tower. She smiled through the duct tape getting excited until she felt the shake of an explosion and felt the heat blast from underneath the door sending smoke into the closet.

John kicked the door in like he had during the danger room sessions and stormed into the apartment. His blood boiled when he saw Cliff standing in the hallway like a deer caught in headlights. Remy followed after him and Rogue stayed near the doorway to cover their backs. "You! Where's Kaylee?" John spoke in a dangerous tone of voice. It was the only phrase said as Cliff cupped his hands to his mouth and let out a shriek that began breaking glass and made all three X-Men cover their ears in pain. Rogue gritted her teeth and covered her ears trying to run past both of them to get to Clint. If she could touch him, she could drain him enough to knock him out and this wouldn't have to be so difficult. As she lunged to grab Cliff's arm he actually shoved her right into Gambit and Pyro sending all three backwards. But doing so had caused him to stop screaming and gave Gambit enough time to lash out with his bo staff. As Cliff skirted backwards away from the offending object, John slipped around heading for the hall which was now clear. "Kaylee! Where are ya!?" Cliff dodged another swing and crashed into Pyro who turned on him and managed to grab his shirt spinning to slam him into the wall. "Where is she?" Cliff smiled a small crazy sort of smile before mumbling. "No matter what happens, I had her first."
Gambit had know Pyro a very long time. And in all that time, not once had he seen John as furious as he looked now. His blue eyes, while normally cheerful were dangerous and almost blazing. He pulled Cliff forward and slammed him into the wall again. "Where is she!?" Cliff kept his smirk through his newly acquired pain and pointed down the hall. Letting Remy take over, John rushed down the hallway calling her name. He got into the bedroom and glanced at the closet which was making a bunch of noise, reaching for the door handle when he felt the flicker of fire and felt the explosion that came from the kitchen. He barely had enough time to deflect the flames from himself. He glanced back to see Gambit and Rogue and Cliff all pulling themselves up and watched Gambit immediately press his staf to Cliff's throat. "Dont be trying that again hombre, I won't miss next time."
John yanked the closet door open and felt his heart lurch. Kaylee, upon seeing John through the remnants of smoke began to cry as he carefully unhook her cuffs and pulled the duct tape off her mouth and then embraced her. "I-I knew you'd come find me. I'm so sorry I didn't take the ride. I'm sorry." Rocking her gently he stroked her hair and held her as if he was afraid she would disappear. "It's alroight Sheila, it's alroight." He cupped her face and looked at the cut and bruising on her head. "I'm goin to get you to a hospital, ok? Make sure yer not concussed." She nodded still clinging to him as he helped her stand up and started walking her through the mess back towards the front. SHe seemed to cling tighter seeing Cliff, now knocked unconscious and burried her face in John's arm. "Is he dead?" John shook his head holding her protectively as he glanced at Rogue and Remy. "Not yet." Rogue gently moved to take her from John. "Come on girlfriend, lets git you outside." Kaylee looked ready to fall asleep amidst her tear tracks and shook her head groggily. "No, John, please don't kill him. Please, you're not a monster."
Taking a step forward John placed a gentle kiss to her forhead and looked her in the eyes. "I won't, I promise. Now go with Rogue." She nodded slowly and let Rogue escort her outside. As soon as she was gone John turned on Cliff and stared at him with that burning look. "Remy, your me mate right?" Remy nodded waiting for John to tell him what they were doing. "You should call an ambulance then. Kaylee won't be the only one goin to a hospital." His zippo was in hand as he lit a flame and bent down allowing the flame to slither like a rope in his fingers as he grabbed Cliff by the throat, flames still on. Remy had seen alot of things, experianced alot, and he turned his head away flipping his phone open to make the correct call as he heard the strangled cry and thrashing from Cliff.

There is another chapter to this, I'm trying to get it written to post it. I am planning to do more stories with John/Pyro and Kaylee. But this one needs to be finished first.
