Somekindafreaky- you scared me badly with the bullets, but I'll answer each
one. 1) Indirectly it is Remy, though Pete points him in the right
direction. 2) I HATE Scott, Lance, Jean and am still warming up to
Sabertooth. 3) I like how I do 'boss' it makes me feel special, okay that
was off topic. Anyway, they don't feed them nearly enough, so she would
have lost all of the fat on her body and any shape that she had to her. I
would like to see some of them shaved, but you know that they didn't even
try to shave Kurt! Lol. 4) I play flute concert but I'm flag corps
marching, but I know that I've said that. I'll see if I can get a pic of
our outfits to load on my profile (If still does that) If not I'll
try on my site. Yeah, the main band is stupid looking! 5) I'll try to
finish it before then, just review every chapter for me, okay? I only have
3 more, and they should be up today, but then I am going to bed! I need to
sleep! Been a long day, and one long response! Are you getting used to that
yet?
DemonRogue13- I love how excited you seem about it! That is just great for my mood today! Yeah!
Ch33: The funerals
The next morning was cold and drizzling, probably reflecting Storm's emotions. It had been this way since he had been killed, except for at first there were severe thunder storms. Everyday on the news there was something about the 'Millionaire Xavier' or so the media dubbed him, and they just couldn't seem to grasp the fact that he did want to be buried in his hometown.
"Idiots." Jubilee said as she saw the swarming reporters. "They just can't leave anything alone, can they?"
"Not if they think they can get anything from it." Bobby says.
"Reminds me of a funeral at home, all of these people." Amara replies.
"They need to leave." Ray says staring at all of them. "It's none of their business."
"I agree." Bobby says.
"Take your seats, it's about to begin." Storm tells the new recruits.
-Afterward-
Bobby was comforting a crying Jubilee while Amara was crying on Sam's shoulder. Rhane was lightly sniffling to the side when Roberto wrapped and arm around her shaking shoulders and she cried on him too. Many other people had shown up, and even Magneto had made a brief appearance, but everyone knew that he couldn't stay because there was still a threat to him out there and at the moment it was very real. He had something about 'paying his respects to a dear friend' and that he was 'unable to stay because of his dire situation.' At least they were thankful that he hadn't been arrogant because the war had started, he had been right from day one.
-Next Day-
All the X-Men stand outside. There were two taxi's outside. Many of the students were leaving after the death of Professor Xavier. Jubilee, Rhane and Jamie were leaving. The three said their tear filled good-byes with a few saying that they'd see each other soon or write. "This has to blow over soon right?" Bobby asked Jubilee when she started crying on his shoulder.
-1 month later- -Elsewhere-(A/N- Scott, Jean and Lance are dead. Pyro, Bobby, Wanda and Rogue were brought in. It's been a month after all!)
"Answer 'im. It'll be easier on ya." (A/N- one of my major changes was that this guards part was originally Pete's part, but I changed that. Aren't you glad? You'll see in a minute.)
"Burn in hell, both of you." Kitty says through clenched teeth at the guard and the 'Boss'.
"It's this or your parents die. And you will be the soul cause." The 'Boss' says as she stands there shocked. He raised a screen revealing that he had her parents tied up across the room.
"No! Mom! Dad! You're a monster!" Kitty says fighting against the chains that have held her to the floor for the last week.
"No! Kitty don't! It'll be fine!" Mrs. Pryde says. "We would both give our lives for your happiness! Don't let him boss you around!"
"Shut up woman!" The 'Boss' says.
"No! You cannot force our daughter to do that!" Mr. Pryde says. Right then he shoots Mr. And Mrs. Pryde causing Kitty to fall to the floor. (A/N- very anticlimactic!) "Guard! Get her out of her. Take her back to her cell! We can get her cooperation yet." The guard undoes her chains and picks Kitty up and carries her down the hall.
"Get off of me you monster!" Kitty yells hitting him.
"Nope, I'm takin ya ta da cell." He says throwing her in and slamming the door shut. Kitty just lays there in a heap on the floor. She just lays there phasing through the hands of anyone trying to help her. Eventually she fell asleep right there on the floor, and still phased through their hands when they tried to carry her to her cot.
"What do you think bloody happened to her?" Pyro asks staring at her.
"Ah'm not sure."
"Why don't you just touch Half-Pint and see what you can see."
"That's an invasion of privacy!" Rogue says shocked. "How dare ya assume that Ah'd-"
"Fine Kid, I didn't assume anything. Just thought that ya might try considering that she's not talking, and that is odd for Kitty. Something big happened in there. And think about it! We haven't seen her in a week! Anything could have happened!"
"Maybe when yer hair grows back out ya'll grow a brain."
"If Katya doesn't want to say it, it shouldn't be forced."
"I agree, if Pryde doesn't want to say it then we don't need to know, and if you can't wait until she's ready then-"
"Ah say ya shut up. If she doesn't want us ta know she won't tell us."
"Yeah, after a bloody week wherever he put her, she should be expected to be in bloody bad shape." Pyro says.
"I fell bloody sorry for her, I know how cruel he can be, but I know firsthand." Petge says.
"I don't think that it's anything that he did to her." Wanda says. "That guys a monster. The way he looks at you... the way he acts and how he talks. There's no telling what he did." Wanda had agreed to put the anger for her father aside when she found out what was happening here. Rogue had asked her to just put it aside for the moment, not forever, since she knew what happened.
-Acolytes-
"What do you think has happened to her parents?" Melinda asks Remy as he walked in the door followed by four kids.
"Remy's not sure. De House was torn up. Remy knows dat something happened dere. Ya don't do dat ta a house fer no reason. And Mrs. Pryde always kept de house spotless."
"I'm not going to ask how you know."
"Remy was dere neighbor! Don't think like dat, ya know mon chere too well ta think dat."
"Yeah, but it is you after all."
"Why did you bring them here? It isn't child-friendly." Magneto asks when he comes in.
"Because mon chere's mother has been taken. Whatever they want mon chere ta do dey took her mother ta try and convince her."
"What could they want?" Melinda asks. "I mean, I know that they want the powers of the people they have taken, but-"
"It could be anything Melinda. I'm not sure. I know that they are after me as well. If they get me you two have to get out of here. This isn't going to end well. At least Charles isn't around to see his ideals fail so badly and so rapidly." (A/N- Remy, Melinda, Magneto and Sabertooth are all that are left here.)
"Remy don't trust dese guys. As soon as mon chere is out, dey're dead."
"I agree. Not only has he taken Pietro, I found out that he took Wanda also. I was contacted by the asylum yesterday. It appears that they claimed to be bringing her to me."
"They are after powers, that much is for sure now."
"What happened to Kitty?" Tami asks. "I like Kitty, I don't want anything to happen to her!"
"Kitty is stupid!" Jenny says. "She doesn't know anything. She'd have protected her Mom if she did. And what did Kitty do? She was goofing off somewhere."
"Watch it little girl!" Melinda says. "I'm not going to put up with that! If you're going to have that attitude then we should just send you to a foster home!"
"Our Daddy will take us!" Jenny says.
"No he won't. Remy remembers Kitty telling him that yer Father was told he couldn't and dat's why her Mrs. Pryde was yer guardian."
"You knew that Jenny. You are so stupid sometimes. I hope Kitty sends just you to a foster home and I hope you get the worst foster parents ever!" Eric says shoving her causing tears to well up in Jenny's eyes.
"Hey! No shoving! And nothing that low! You should know better!" Melinda says. "Can we just give them rooms so that I can send them to them!" All four kids hide behind Remy. "Wow, at least Remy is popular with someone!"
"Hey fille! Remy's got fellings too!"
"I don't like her, she's mean." Tami says.
"Remy has ta agree, but she won't do anythin."
"Hey! Remy LeBeau! That is a lie! I can make your worst nightmares come true, don't push me!"
"This place isn't child friendly and the people here aren't either. Surely you know this."
"Remy knows, but dey don't have anyone. Mrs. Pryde got kidnapped and their father isn't fit ta keep dem. Da only family dey have left is Kitty and no one knows where she is. Remy has ta take care of dem."
"Well, that is one less thing for Kitty to worry about, or be mad about, when she gets back." Melinda says shrugging. 'Though it will only be me taking care of them when Remy is out looking for her.'
"Where is Kitty? I want Kitty!" Tami says.
"I'm too old for this." Magneto says walking off.
"I guess that was a yes. I'll help you out Remy." Melinda offers.
"Merci, Remy's gonna need it."
"Let's go to the zoo!" Eric says pulling on Remy's sleeve.
"Non, Remy has ta go and try ta find Kitty. She'll be worried-"
"No she won't." Jenny says.
"You are one spoiled little kid, what is your problem?" Melinda asks.
"Kitty is my problem." Jenny says crossing her arms over her chest and tilting her head up at Melinda.
"You are so much like Sarah!"
"Remy agrees."
-Next Day-
"Where's MY Remy?" Jenny asks Melinda as she walks into the poker room turned kitchen.
"Out. He never tells me where he goes."
"But I want him here! I bet he's looking for that ungrateful brat that just so happens to be my annoying cousin."
"Listen up kid, I just happen to like Kitty, so you had better stop talking about her now or I'm going to have to do something. Do not push me!"
"I want my Remy."
'She can have her own Remy. It worked on Sarah it will work on her too.' Right then 'Remy' walks into the room. "There he is." Melinda says smiling brightly as Jenny believes it. "Now get out of here you two! And don't wake up anyone else. It's only eight. Let the other kids sleep."
"You're not my mother."
"Dat's not a good way ta act toward her. She's trying ta take care of ya."
"I don't care. Let's get out of here." Jenny says dragging 'Remy' out of the room.
"Too much like Sarah for me."
-Later-
"It's mine!" Jenny screams.
"No way! It is mine!" Tami says.
"Give it!"
"No!"
"Yes! Now!"
"No way!"
"I said it's mine and you have to listen to me!"
"I'm older!"
"Only by 5 minutes!" Jenny screams grabbing the remote and causing Tami to fall to the ground bleeding from the side of her head.
"What's wrong- Tami!" Melinda goes over to her. "What happened?"
"Jenny's just being her normal self and won't let anyone watch what she doesn't want to watch. I was in the middle of watching Lizzie!" (A/N- My sister is 13 and watches it, they're 12 so therefore they can watch it!)
"Jenny, turn it back!" Melinda demands.
"No, she told me that I could watch what I wanted to!"
"Go watch it up in my room, go on. No one will stop you. I'll get a TV put in your room soon."
"Hey!"
"You didn't turn the channel back, it's fair."
"Whatever." Jenny says putting her hands on her hips and stomping out of the room.
"Don't mind my sister, she'll warm up to you in the end." Tami smiles.
"That's good to know. But it looks like Kitty has some competition when she gets back doesn't it?"
"Yep. I hope that Kitty gets Remy. Jenny shouldn't be any trouble for her. He looks right through her anyway." Tami says causing them both to laugh.
DemonRogue13- I love how excited you seem about it! That is just great for my mood today! Yeah!
