Chapter Ten: We Are Innocent

Here is the next chapter for you all.

Sorry, it took me so long to get this out. My husband and I moved to a temporary place, before we move permanently to a new location. In addition there was a lot going on so I was unable to post.
I hope you all enjoy and have a Jesus filled day.

Storm raised and eyebrow as her and Logan stopped to see Pyro and Remy going around the park. Every once in a while they would stop to move a leaf some other random item on the ground. They were both laughing and a quick look around showed that Colossus was nowhere to be found this time. The grins on their faces told Logan that the two had been kicked out of the base again, probably for messing with Sabertooth in some fashion. Shaking his head he called out, "What did you two this time?"

Remy looked over with a grin before kneeling down and pushed a stick over a few inches. "What makes you tink we did someting?"

"Yeah." Pyro said shaking his hands in the air trying to look innocent but his grin only got larger.

"I call bull, tell me what you did brats." Ororo followed the feral man over to the two teens. Remy looked over but unlike John his face didn't give away that they got kicked out of the base. 'Gumbo really knows how to hold a poker face. I'd love to play a game with him. He'd make a worth while game.'

"We didn't do anyting. Remy tinks you have gone crazy in de brain." The Cajun replied with a tiny smirk. Pyro looked over at his older brother figure snickering before running behind Remy to hide for no reason.

"Uh, hu. You wish you could fool me but from what I understand it's been too long since you two have done anything to Sabertooth." Gambit tilted his head holding his poker face as his eyes glowed slightly from behind his sunglasses. This made Logan chuckle and Storm giggle behind her hand. She was very much amused by the banter between the males while Pyro hugged Remy from behind giggling happily. "Now spill Gumbo."

Pyro peek around Remy making Storm smile at how adorable he looked looking up at the Cajun's face. The older teen shook his head, "Like Remy said, dey didn't do not'ing. We are innocent today."

"Yeah, right."

"So if you didn't get kicked out what you are you boys up to?" Ororo asked with an amused smiled. Mentally she agreed with Logan. She had heard enough about their shenanigans that there was no way that they were out and about for no reason. But it was nice to see them out and doing things like normal teenagers. This was only the second time she was seeing it she wished she got to see more of their silliness or random acts that they did.

Pyro looked at Storm moving to stand next to Remy, "Moving things because they don't look right the way they are." Remy chuckled amused taking off his sunglasses to rub his right eye, this showed his red on black eyes. John took the sunglasses and put them on his own head. He grinned cheekily when the older teen raised an eyebrow at him, "You don't get them back till other people get to the park. You hide your eyes too much."

Remy shrugged looking back at the X-Men adults in front of them. Logan shook his head. He really didn't understand why other people reacted to the Cajun's eyes the way they did. Yes, they were shocking the first time they were seen but after that it was pretty normal too look at. It wasn't like he had some kind of alien eyes or something. Remy ran over to a tree nearby and pulled himself onto it. While Remy did that John ran over and adjusted a bench by a few centimeters nearby. Storm shook her head amused by the behavior the two teenagers were displaying. Remy played with a leave as he called out, "Pyro." The younger teen looked at him with a bright smile, "When do you think we should head back?"

"Never." The younger replied making the older laugh and near fall out of the tree. Logan and Storm sat down on a bench as Remy jumped off the tree branch he was on to run over to Pyro. The younger teen held up a snail causing the two teen to gain a wicked look before going around then park to look for more.

Logan smirked, "They just came up with a prank for someone unfortunate."

Ororo looked at Logan, "You seem to have a soft spot for them."

"Yeah." The Canadian replied with a smile, "It's hard not to when they are doing stuff like this. I'd say it is close to how I feel about Rouge."

Storm smiled nodding in agreement, "They are different when they are like this." She raised an eyebrow when she noted Remy had his sunglasses back on sneaking up on a couple of friends who just got to the park. He was so light on his feet that the two girls had no idea that the Cajun had put a snail on one of the girl's purses. The mischievous grin on Remy and John's face as the Cajun snuck back quietly was way too contagious. "Have they done anything the same yet that you know of?"

"I do believe that the one they were doing when we spotted them was close to the one Rouge told us about last time."

"Except instead of messing with people it was more just to fix things to how they wanted it even if it messed with people or not." Ororo said with a nod watching the two boys climb up into a tree just in time for one of the girl's to see the snail and freak out for a second while the one it was on just took it off calmly. Logan didn't doubt that the Acolytes were holding in their laughter as they watched the scene from their favorite hiding place.

Logan got off the bench and walked over to the tree when the two girls were gone, "Xavier sends an invitation to join us when ever you are ready."

John hung upside down and tilted his head, "Really?"

Logan nodded then looked at Remy sitting on the tree branch on the other side, "Why?" The Cajun's eyebrow was raised leaning on his right hand.

"While I can't promise your hobbies will be used very often they will not be put to waste." The teens looked at Storm curiously as she continued. "You also will be around the teenagers you have been hanging out with and you would not get bored. We have many activities that can help keep you occupied. We can also get you into school if you needed to."

The boys looked at each other then at the white haired woman as Remy asked, "So, if we did hypot'etically join could we prank people?"

"I don't see a problem so long as you don't mind the retaliation, which you will have to clean up your mess, and not make them harmful to others." Logan replied then smirked making the two teen tense seeing it, "If you do end up harming you fellow victims then you get an impromptu danger room session with me."

"Danger room?" Pyro asked.

"Deir training room. It's like Mag's Training Dome but he's sure dat it is less boring. And probably has better team building exercises." Remy replied with a wave of the hand.

Logan nodded, "Pretty much nails that explanation."

Remy grinned triumphantly as he replied, "Like he answered last time we really can't leave Mag's right now. One of us would be left behind wit Sab's and dat would not be a good ting. In addition Remy is sure that Mag's would get angry dat you took some of his men."

Logan snorted, "He's always trying to take our kids why can't we take his."

Pyro touched his chin, "That is true." He allowed Storm to help him off the tree branch he was hanging upside down on. Standing up he looked at the Canadian, "He's talks about some of the x-geeks at times wishing they were working with him instead of against him."

Remy nodded, "Jean Gray is one of the ones he talks about. Her being a powerful psychic and all."

"Speaking of psychics." The two raised eyebrows at Storm who was looking at the Cajun, "Do you mind if I ask which one you are?"

Remy held a confused expression, "What makes you tink Remy is psychic?"

"Anytime Xavier tries to use Cerebro to find you outside Magneto's base he can always find Pyro and Colossus but never you. He is sure that you have a psychic ability that you don't show you have."

"Or Remy could have a very strong mental barrier." The Cajun suggested with a small smile.

"I asked the same thing but then the professor said the most curious thing. To have a strong mental barrier there has to be some kind of psychic ability no matter how small." Storm smiled at the teenager giving her a big smile.

"Well in dat case Remy will keep what psychic ability he has to himself." He wiggled his eyebrows, "He ain't about to tell you his trump card. Not even Mag's knows he has a secondary ability."

Logan chuckled, "I always had a feeling you had a secondary ability. Your reactions are too quick like you already know people are going your direction in field."

"Dat is actually instinct. He is used to people attacking him from all sides. If you know Remy's past you would understand. You have no idea." The Cajun replied with a small pained smile. He didn't looked too hurt but you could tell, whatever happened, it still affected him in some small way.

Pyro gently pulled on Remy's pant leg, "We probably should go. The last thing we need is Sab's being sent to find us."

"Yeah." Remy agreed jumping off the tree branch, "Knowing him he'd come up with some kind of assumption thinking we were giving information out." The two turned to Storm and Logan, "Tanks for de talk. It's nice to talk to ot'er people dat are more entertaining dan Sab's and Mag's." Before the Acolytes were out of sight Remy looked over his shoulder saying with a cheeky smirk, "We locked Sab's in the pool itself. And not'ing Magneto did could get Sab's out."

As the teens disappeared from sight Logan started chuckling covering his face with his hand. At first Storm didn't get it then it hit her and she stated laughing causing the feral with her to laugh as well. They could both swear they heard John and Remy joining in on their laughter.
