Ride Of Your Life
Author's Notes: Thanks again for all your reviews!! Sorry I wasn't able to update. I had writer's block and school crap. And last October 25 was our school fair!! And I went home 10pm because there was a variety show. Hehe! Anyways, here's chapter fifteen! And featuring the Acolytes!! Whoo!!
Chapter Fifteen – Love Will Find A Way
"That's the third time you almost set Remy's trench coat on fire!" Remy yelled at the Australian boy
"Sorry mate, I just love playing with your trench coat" John laughed maniacally, flicking his lighter on and off. For once, the pyromaniac dressed casually. Both of the Acolytes were dressed up, walking down the street, on their way to the donut shop.
"Well, STOP IT!" Remy yelled again, grabbing the lighter off his hands
"Hey! Give it back!"
"Only if you stop setting Remy's trench coat on fire!" Remy warned, charging up John's lighter
"No! Anything but that!" John wailed as he knelt on the pedestrian, pleading for Remy to give his precious lighter back
"Hey, isn't that the boss' kid?" Remy said as he saw Pietro and Rogue walking down the street, side by side
"Who? Pietro? Where?" John looked around and saw the both of them
"And that's Rogue…with him…together"
"We have to tell this to Magneto, mate" John said, forgetting about his lighter
"Let's go" Remy said, throwing the lighter to one side and hit the tree, "Oops"
"MY LIGHTER!! MY PRECIOUS!!" John wailed again
"Are you sure!?" Magneto growled
"Affirmative! Remy saw it with his own eyes and you could never miss that silver hair" Remy informed
"Pietro should never mingle with any X-Men!"
"Remy's eyes might deceive him, but he thinks he saw Pietro touching chere's skin"
"WHAT!? IS THIS TRUE JOHN!?"
"My precious lighter! GONE!" he wailed for the third time
John was sitting on one dark corner of the room, crying. He hugged both of his knees and rocked back and forth. Magneto sighed.
"What did you two idiots do this time?" Magneto asked
"Remy charged up Johnny's lighter because he was setting Remy's trench coat on fire"
"DON'T CALL ME JOHNNY!!"
Pietro's POV
I walked Rogue back to Institute. The gates opened in front of us and I walked her up the front door. The both of us stared at each other for a while in silence.
"I could kiss you but you know…Goggle Boy, Daniels and Wolverine…" I said
"That's okay" she chuckled, "Do y' want t' come in? Ah think Lance's here"
"He is? Well…nah, that's okay. I might as well go back to the boarding house" I held her hand and kissed it like a gentleman would. Rogue giggled as I did this.
Inside, Logan was watching them. Suddenly, with a tsink (or whatever sound that is), his metallic claws came out.
"Oh c'mon. Please?" she pleaded
"Alright. For you" I smiled and the both of us went inside
I saw Logan growl when I entered the room. Goggle Boy almost dropped his glass of water when he saw me come in. Then, Professor Xavier came inside.
"Good to see you Pietro" he said
"Er…yeah" he said awkwardly
Suddenly, the metallic windows opened and a strong gust of wind entered the room. And Xavier's wheelchair wheeled itself to one corner.
"Magneto" he told himself
Then, a card flew in, settling itself in front of Rogue and I. The both of us looked at each other and then, I grabbed her hand and the both of us ran out of the way as the card blew up. Suddenly, we heard stomping and the next we knew, someone smashed through the wall, it was Piotr or Colossus with Sabretooth.
"Magneto! What do you want?"
"The boy cannot betray his own father, Charles"
I knew right then that it was me he was talking about.
"WHAT!?" I yelled
"Pietro…good, you finally got her wrapped around your little finger, just like we always planned…for a long time ago"
"What!? I have nothing to do with this!" I protested
"Attack" Magneto drawled
Suddenly, Remy and John came into the picture. John cackled as he made henchmen out of fire. I heard the rest of the X-Men join in. That kid, I forgot his name, I think it's Bobby blasted ice out of his finger and iced up Pyro's fire henchmen and his hands. The next thing I knew, Remy jumped and tackled me to the ground.
"Pietro!" I heard Rogue yell
"Get off me!" I yelled and Kitty suddenly grabbed me and phased me through him
At the other side of the room, Logan and Sabretooth was battling each other. I looked around, Scott, Jean and Bobby was taking care of Pyro. Kitty, Kurt and Evan were dealing with Gambit. The rest of them was fighting off Piotr. I stood there, I didn't know what to do.
"Just get out of here, bub. And never come near Rogue again!" Logan managed to say, as he slashed Sabretooth
"No!" I heard Rogue yell again
"Let's go!"
I turned around and saw Lance running out of the Institute. I looked at Rogue one last time, who was trying to release herself from Storm and Beast's grip. I swore I could see tears streaming down her face. I sighed and followed Lance. The both of us ran back to the boarding house and moped around. I decided to walk around the city and forget everything that has happened.
Rogue's POV
The fight lasted hours when Magneto told them to retreat. The Institute remained in pieces of destruction. Suddenly, Logan walked towards me.
"I'm sorry kid, but you're going to have to stop seeing him"
I burst into tears and ran out of the Institute.
"Logan…" Professor Xavier started
"I'm sorry Chuck"
"You cannot tell the girl how to live. She has her decisions"
"But Pietro used her"
"No. Magneto lied. Pietro will never use Rogue. He loves her"
"Then why did Magneto crash!?"
"I don't know Logan. But I suggest we'll leave it here. For now, all of you go back to your rooms. Don't worry about Rogue, she'll come back"
Pietro sat on one of the benches in the park when he suddenly heard a voice.
"Pietro…"
Pietro stopped and looked around, suddenly, he came face to face with his father.
"I can't believe you did that! We never planned anything!! Now Logan banned me from seeing her!" he yelled
"I can't afford seeing you with that girl. You're my son and I have to look after you"
"Well maybe I don't want to be your son anymore!" he yelled hastily, "Disown me! C'mon! I dare you!"
"Fine! I disown you! But you'll soon regret this Pietro!"
"I don't want to see your face again!" Pietro ran away
I walked around the city, hoping to find Pietro sulking his way to I-don't-know-where. Suddenly, I felt something wet drop on my arm. I looked up and rain started pouring down. I know that it wasn't the work of Storm. It just happened. I couldn't give up just because of rain. I frowned and continued to find Pietro.
In a perfect world, one we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world, we'll create our own
I may not be brave, or strong or smart but somewhere in my secret heart
I went inside the CD store but didn't find him. I ran across the street and almost got hit by a car. The rain became worse and I started to feel a cold coming on. I sneezed and hugged myself.
I know, love will find a way
Anywhere I go, I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark, turning into day
Somehow we'll come through now that I found you
Love will find a way
I kept on sneezing and cough wherever I went. I tripped and fell into a puddle. Passer bys stared at me, wondering why I was walking in the cold rain, with no umbrella or rain coat. I ignored them and continued to find him. I went to the boarding house but Lance told me he left minutes ago. He offered me to come inside, but I refused and continued looking. I went inside the park, circled it but never found him. I sighed and gave up. I sat on a bench and drowned myself in the pouring rain.
I was so afraid, now I realize
Love is never wrong and so it never dies
There's a perfect world, shining in your eyes
And if only they could feel it too, the happiness I feel with you
Pietro's POV
I walked around the city streets when I came back to where I started, the park. I circled it in depression. No one was in the park when suddenly, I saw a person sitting on one of the benches. It looked like a girl. I wondered if I should approach her or not. I squinted my eyes when suddenly it hit me. Her hair…it was unique…it had two strips of white in front of it. I smiled. It was Rogue, drenched in the rain.
I walked slowly, making noises when I stepped into puddles. As I got nearer, her head jerked up and turned around. Her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she saw. She smiled, got up and ran towards me.
They know, love will find a way
Anywhere we go, we're home
If we are there together
Like dark, turning into day
Somehow we'll come through now that I found you
Love will find a way
As she got nearer, she jumped and hugged me tight. I twirled around, making her laugh. I stopped and put her down and the both of us stared deep into each other's eyes. Our face got nearer and then we kissed under the pouring rain. The rain ceased and a bright sun glowed along with a rainbow.
I know, love will find a way
The song isn't mine. I got it off from "The Lion King: Simba's Pride" or Lion King II. I thought it fitted the scene perfectly. I was thinking Simple Plan's "I'll Meet You There" but "Love Will Find A Way" suited perfectly. Anyway, I had writer's block and my friend suggested to kill someone off and said that it would be fun. LoL. Anyway, sorry if the battle scene sucked. I'm not good in battle scenes. Don't forget to review! Ü
