Say It Aint So
Chapter 8: Situations and mass confusion
She jumped startled at his voice coursing through her ears, his warm breath tickling her neck. Thinking within an instant she spun throwing her arm out to swat him. Expecting to feel her elbow meeting his jaw, the goth never suspected that he'd have a hold on her like he did. Sure enough even drunk Gambit was as swift as can be, gripping her arm and yanking it around and up so her back was pressed to him. Rogue pulled a face gritting her teeth at the momentary jerk of pain.
"Dat not nice Chere, Remy juss asked y' a question is all.." Remy was still quick but thought wasn't at all completely on his side when he was at war with being sober. The X-woman brought her foot up, introducing her combat boot to the Acolyte's groin. The results were accurate of course, resulting in a doubled over Cajun stepping backwards with eyes closed tightly. The goth jumped away facing him as he brought his eyes to meet hers from beneath the sunglasses. "...Now... dat.. was deffinatly.. cheatin.."
"Whos playin?!" Rogue snapped only causing Gambit to snicker as he wobbled forward towards her. Throwing a punch Remy caught it, blinking a minute as her mouth parted in surprise, it wasn't much longer until she felt herself smack roughly against athe nearby brick wall. She faced him cowering just a bit as her back pressed the solid divider behing her. Leaning one hand by her head against the wall, the thief moved forward inches from her face.
"I like games."
"Your drunk." The Southern girl retorted wriggling her glove from her hand but suddenly feeling his own hand snatch her wrist tightly.
"Not dat drunk." Her right hand was still free, and after bringing it to a fist, well, it was all enough to send the Acolyte stumbling backwards. Grabbing his now aching jaw and bleeding lip, the Cajun lost balance spilling to the cement. Rogue watched from her place, yea he was shitfaced alright, can't even keep his balance right. Approaching him as she chuckled she sat, strattling his torso as she did so. Seizing the collar of the thief's worn out brown trench coat, the goth brought him up to meet her eyes, and the deep death glare they produced.
"Alright, wheres Magneto keepin Shadowcat?"
"Shadow what?" He mumbled finally gainning realization of the situation once again. "..You mean Dallas?"
"No, Shadowcat.. Kitty Pryde!"
"What are y' talkin about?" He chuckled still feeling buzzed by the beer circling his system.
"Your too wasted to be of any use to me." Shoving him back as she forcfully let go of his collar she stepped off him letting her boots clank against the street cement. A waste of her night, she might as well head home. What good was the man if he couldn't he remember what they'd done..
"Y' seem familiar. Not X-men wise nei'ter.." Stopping in mid step, the Southerner turned upon him. "Have we had sex before?" He quized honestly, he was serious. The sparkling emerald eyes became narrow splits as she glared daggers at him. "Wait.. your the one I can't touch right? ... guess dat wouldn't work.." He snickered to himself muttering the sentance but not quietly enough to keep her from hearing. "..Well I'll be damned if I don' know y' from some o'ter place.. mebbe y' .. naww.. dat was de o'ter red head." If this was a cartoon I'm sure we'd be steam from her ears, but for now, since it is not.. I suppose the right basic thing to say Rogue has officially become homocidal tonight.
"Ah should whack you swamp-rat."
"Swamp-rat?" He replied a grin still spred across his face. But maybe it was pity holding her back, he was drunk and he was going to have it rough later. Not to mention it seemed as though its not like hes taking her anywhere information wise anyway. "You hate me?"
"Do you have to ask?" She continued to glare as he stood up wobbly brushing himself off. "Have a good night lackey." At the word, Remy glanced up getting a glimpse of her exiting form. Finally taking her eyes away from Magneto's wasted henchman, the X-woman strolled to the corner turning without even as much as a caring glance. The thing that kept running past her mind was how now she could help the X-men find Kitty. Damn, if only she could just so easily sort information she gainned from touch.
"Can I ask y' for somethin else?" Ceasing movement so took in a deep breath. Stupid stalker.
"What!?" Growling she turned seeing the boy leaning against the lamp post.
"How d'y' keep a femme from despisin y' if y' told 'em y' didn't wan't a relationship? It aint possible.."
"Your an idiot... a... a.. a stupid thickheaded weird talking.. weird... drunk... idiot!" Crossing her arms she observed as he shrugged mock motion. "Why dumb enough to ask me anyway, aren't Ah your enemy?!"
"De truth hurts chere, I'd expect dat from y'..." The Southerner girl's hard glare softened and not much so to her liking. But was the situation really unhelpable, stupid "weird" Acolyte... why does he have to be so damn needy.
How had she gotten into this? The man behind the counter handed her back the credit card. It was easy after the Cajun passed out, at first she walked away.. whatever. But then her conscience chewed away at her. What was the harm? In just letting the drunk charmer at least have some place to crash and spew in the morning. Rogue had pocketed his credit card to get him a motel room for the night. 'Ah can't believe Ah'm doin this' she thought approaching the bench where he was begining to stir. Leaning in she waved her hand in front of his face until he grabbed at it closing his eyes.
"Stop stop.. Remy gettin dizzy..."
"Come on umm.." She thought for a minute trying to remember his alias during battle. ".. Gambit." He reopened his eyes beneath the sunglasses pushing up from the current place of rest. The goth refused to touch him however. So managing up th stairs was his own problem. And eventually the task was done resulting in the X-woman opening his door and closing it behind them. "Heres your keys." Tossing them on the table the young girl sighed. Gambit fell onto the queen sized bed after throwing his trench coat to the floor without a care as to where it could have landed. Removing his sunglasses the Acolyte ran a hand through his shaggy mess of brown-red hair. Opening his eyes to meet with Rogue's, he had such drawing eyes, the most beautiful she'd ever seen at that.
"Why are y' helpin me?" He questioned watching her walk into the bathroom. Stopping in the doorway, the Southerner glanced back with what almost seemed like a potential smile.
"Cos your too pathetic not to pity." Closing the door behind her it was only a minute before she had reentered the room to see the shirtless sleeping thief. Approaching the door his louring voice brought her emerald eyes to look back at him.
"Y' leavin without a goodbye kiss?" Annoyed looking she turned away as he called again, "Aren't y' gonna tuck me in Cherie?" Without as much as a word the Southerner turned the doorknob stepping out and closing it behind her. Tucking her hands into her pockets she chuckled to herself. That poor drunk cajun mutant man, either the hangover tomarrow with kill him.. or Magneto will.
The young girl walked through the glass doors of the New York City appartment. Relieved to escape the heat the English woman lent a smile to few passer byers. She had been out running her chores, things that needed to be done. And things that still had to be done, like an essiential phone call. But for now, the phone call could wait, because she needed to check up on somebody.
"Good morning Ms Braddock," The security guard behind the counter welcomed her with a charming smile.
"Good morning Rick." Betsy approached the counter jotting her name with the time in the blue record book.
"I was wondering if you were up to mayb--"
"How many times do I have to tell you Ricky," Setting the pen beside the book she tucked a purple lock beind her left ear. "Its just not going to work dear." Earning the normal dissapointed frown from the young man she headed to the elevator pressing the button lightly. After waiting a moment the doors opened she stepped in between an older woman and a young man.
"Floor?" The boy smiled.
"Four." Psylocke stated plainly, adjusting the collar of her shirt. Despite the airconditioned building it felt like the heat was immerciful to all. Fanning herself lightly with a folder she held, the young woman watched as the doors before her opened to reveal her floor. The British woman exited the tiny room, leaving to its normal duty of traveling up and down the shaft. After a minute of walking and turning, Betsy stoped in front of the room labeled 157. Reaching into her pocket the unmistakable jiggle of keys rattled as her hand continued its rummaging. Taking the set of keys from its place, she flipped to the needed one eventually making her way inside after unlocking the door. Dropping the bag of groceries she closed the door tossing the keys to the counter. Twisting the lock, the purple haired mutant began to skim through the folder as she walked through the apartment. Chuckling as she sat up on the stool, the Englander pulled free a paper. "..Hmmph. I expected more." The sudden thud that came from her room made her smirk.
Kitty had no idea where she was, nor the fact of which why her powers weren't working. Something was wrong, 'whats going on' she thought to herself. The x-woman had managed to kick open the closet door hitting the floor as she groaned into the gag. Moving a bit she winced at the pain bringing her attention to the young woman in the doorway. The mutant that had siliently captured her at the fishyard.
"Don't worry kid, I'm not going to hurt you, as long as your dumb boss listens at least." Kitty bit at the cloth in her mouth as Psylocke stepped forward her heels clicking against the glass tiles on her bedroom's floor. "I know what your thinking, and the reason your powers aren't working is.. well.. you should ask Magneto yourself. Considering your but his lackey I'm sure he'll be more then estatic to tell you." Shadowcat's brow scrunched... Magneto... she wasn't working for that douche. What the hell? Betsy dragged the girl back against the bed, walking towards the door she closed it. The valley girl sat confused. She thinks I work for Lehnshurr? ... She thinks... she knew I thought.. 'Hey.' ... 'Hey!' The x-woman's thoughts penitrated Betsys causing her the set the phone down. The British woman's eyes moved to look at the bedroom door, where she left Kitty. 'I know you can hear me lady, I don't like work for Magneto, that physco... are you like kidding me.. I live at the Xiavier Institute.. in Bayville.' Psylocke blinked a minute, whoa, too much happening in the past few minutes. Carelessly pushing the phone from in front of her she hurried into the room.
"What do you mean you don't work for Magneto?" Yanking the clothe away the purple haired woman stared down at the valley girl.
"Who are you anyway!?"
"Answer the question!!" Betsy snapped warning the younger girl with her glaring eyes.
The unkept Cajun groaned as he fell flat on top of the messed motel bed. Remy had seen better days that was for sure, and now he was pretty convinced he had thrown up so much he could have set a world record. The master of Magnetism would not be impressed, it was going to be a long day. Rolling over so he could recieve fresh air Gambit blinked. Was it really that gothic new kid at the Xiavier Institute that brought him here or was it all a messed up illusion from his drunken state of mind. A banging on the door increased.
"Remy open the door mate!" St John called from the otherside. "Come on, I know your not that sick." After of two more minutes of continuious pounding the annoyance brought the thief to give in. Standing wobbily he gained composure unlocking and opening the door.
"What?!" He snapped.
"I been lookin all over town for you mate, the owner said a drunk guy was brought her last night by a woman, I figured for sure that would be you. Lehnshurrs gonna throw a fit if your not back there. You better fix yourself." Groaning Gambit grabbed his head.
"Alright."
