1The two couples headed down the steps to the dance floor as a slow beat began to play instantly Remy pulled rogue into a waltz position.
John however became very embarrassed and twice as red as he shakily wrapped his arms around Wanda's waist.
He knew it would be like this, he had been this way ever since he met Wanda embarrassed and tongue-tied hoping that she'd never connect the dots and realise he was in love with her.
In love didn't seem like a strong enough word.
He was absolutely obsessed with the raven-haired beauty known as the scarlet witch.
Slowly dancing now he found himself inhaling her unique scent dreaming of the day when he would at last reveal to her and the world his true feeling.
"Uh Wanda I was wondering if you uh weren't too busy next Saturday maybe we could em go out for uhh dinner" john asked nervously.
"Oh well you see john I don't know because I" she stuttered as he had done a moment before.
"I understand I was stupid to think you'd ever want to go out with me" he replied looking heartbroken.
"Oh no john its not that I would love to go out with you its just I would have to ask my dad you know with you being one of his henchmen and all, and my sister Lorna is coming back next Friday and we were sort of going to have a girls night so could we maybe do it sometime this week in stead" she rambled on.
"I understand," he said placing a finger to her lips to silence her ramblings. "What about Wednesday?" he asked.
"Wednesday sounds great once I ask of course" she said quickly.
"Oh of course that's great," he said pulling her closer to him.
'That's great' he whispered under his breath smiling broadly.
Remy and Marie smiled at each other knowingly.
"Finally their together" rogue groaned.
"Yeah it's about time" Remy added.
Slowly the song came to an end and the two couples headed back to their seats.
Once at the table they noticed that Pietro and Kurt had returned from pool match. Pietro was grinning broadly as Kurt grimaced.
"Well im going to take a big guess and say that pietro won" rogue stated outright.
"Yeah by cheating" Kurt said more to pietro than his sister.
"I did not cheat" pietro answered back.
"Oh you didn't did you so I just imagined you using your powers to move the cue ball" Kurt yelled accusingly.
"Well you must have" pietro replied cockily slumping back in his chair.
"Come on guys lets head home before this gets ugly" Wanda said lifting herself off the table edge grabbing her coat off the chair.
"Yeah im getting kind of tired anyway" Kurt sighed yawning deeply.
The two sets of sibling started off down the stairs heading for the front door.
Kurt split off from the group to get his and Marie's bags from the office.
Waltzing up to the door he stopped abruptly hearing his mothers' voice inside the room, followed by the distinct ramblings of Magnus after a tiring day of business.
"Why wont you tell me what the package is Erik?" raven asked growing more and more suspicious every second.
"I told you this before something's are just my business raven now stop asking me or else" he threatened his face tightening in anger.
Raven stood up fiercely.
"Or else what?"
Suddenly from behind the door Kurt heard a large smack grabbing the handle he threw the door open rushing inside.
Once there he found his mother crumpled on the floor and magneto standing over her.
"Mother what happened?" Kurt asked quickly.
"Nothing Kurt, nothing I fell over that's all" Raven called up to him taking Magnus's hand as he pulled her up.
"What did you want?" raven asked her son kindly.
"Oh I just came in to get my bag for sleeping over" he said staring at Magnus then back at his mother trying to figure out what had happened.
"Okay then see you later" raven replied grabbing his and his sisters' bags and throwing them to him.
"Bye" he said calmly walking back out the room.
After Kurt left raven let out a breath rubbing her cheek with her hand slowly.
"Let's get back to business shall we" Erik stated sitting down in a chair looking as though nothing had happened.
Timidly mystique sat down on the couch still rubbing her cheek gently.
Outside the club the three children stood waiting for Kurt to come out.
After a couple of minutes Wanda had lit up two cigarettes one for her and one for her brother.
They stood puffing away as Marie paced back and forward.
Suddenly the door burst open and Kurt stormed out heading straight for the car without saying anything he got in slamming the door behind him hard enough to knock it off its hinges.
"What's wrong with him?" pietro asked a confused and bewildered look upon his dark features.
"I don't know" rogue answered shaking her head before climbing into the front passengers side.
"Ill drive" Wanda stated grabbing the car keys from her brothers hands as he brought them out of his pocket.
Huffing and grumbling quietly quicksilver climbed in beside Kurt.
Soon they were off.
Arriving at the mansion they went straight to Wanda room where they had decided they would be sleeping.
Climbing on the bed rogue sat back against the head board looking over at Kurt she noticed he still looked dead angry.
"Eh Wanda, Pietro could we maybe get something to drink?" rogue asked politely.
"Sure ill get it" Wanda said leaving the room.
"And maybe something to eat" she asked again.
"Okay, sure" pietro replied following his sister.
"Alright Kurt it's just us what happened?" Marie demanded.
Kurt sat down on the bed beside his sister.
"Well I went to the office to get our stuff but when I got there I noticed mum and Erik talking so I waited but suddenly I heard this noise that sounded like someone had slapped something, something or someone" he told her hinting with his words.
"He hit mum didn't he" rogue asked rhetorically.
Kurt nodded sadly.
"I think so" he whispered.
"Alright time to put the plan into action" rogue stated.
Kurt nodded again.
Both siblings looked at each other a glint of determination in their eyes.
"But when?" Kurt asked.
"Tonight" rogue replied.
