My Heart in Your Hands

Dancing disclaimers! Dunking donuts! Yay!
About a block away from the school, Kitty phased her hand free of Rogue's grasp. "Rogue, I'm not going anywhere until you, like, tell me what's going on!" The thought flashed through her mind to be scared- what if this wasn't even Rogue at all? What if Mystique was back, and trying to lead her into a trap?
Exasperated, Rogue said "Fahn, but We're wastin' time. Ah saw Lance come runnin' outta the school lahke a bat outta hell, tremors an' all, an' then Ah saw that Acolyte guy, an Ah think somethin's up, a'right?" Desperately hoping the younger girl would accept the explanation, she stared hard at Kitty, arms crossed over her chest, foot tapping impatiently.
As she'd hoped, the mention of the Brotherhood leader swayed Kitty. "Lance? Then, like, what are we waiting for?" The girls took off running again, and Rogue thought triumphantly _Ha! I knew she still has a thing for him!_
Rogue had long since lost sight of Remy, but the neighborhood was familiar to her, and she knew he could have only one destination in mind- the Brotherhood house. As they came running up the block, they could hear explosions coming from the dilapidated structure. Rogue pushed Kitty ahead of her and said "Quick, phase through a wall or somethin'!" Unhesitatingly, Kitty phased herself partway through the wall. Rogue tried to catch a glimpse through a window, but it hadn't been cleaned in so long it was impossible to see through.
Kitty phased herself out of the wall, and Rogue said "Well? What's goin' on in there?"
"Like, I dunno! That guy, they called him Gambit, has Toad all wrapped up in this rug, it looks like it's gonna explode or something! And he said they had to go rescue someone!"
There could be only one person Magneto would want rescued- his son. "Pietro!" Both girls said in unison, looking at each other. Suddenly they heard the front door open, and Kitty pulled rogue back into the bushes out of sight.
Lance, Fred, and Toad, released from the rug, got into Lance's jeep and took off. Gambit followed them out, and gave a quick glance in the direction of the bushes, before heading down the street in the opposite direction.
The girls waited long enough to be sure he was gone, then ran after the jeep. "Uh, Rogue, why are we, like, still following them? So what if they're rescuing Pietro?"
"Kitty, ya know they're gonna screw it up! We're goin' ta keep 'em from hurtin' anyone!"
They saw the jeep stopped up ahead, and Kitty phased them into a truck going in the same direction.
As Gambit walked away from the Brotherhood house, he thought about their meeting at the school. He'd figured she would follow him-she didn't seem like the type to give up. Seeing the strands of her hair caught on the bush had merely proved him right.
Her attitude confused him, though. He'd tried to help her, but she'd still treated him like the enemy. _I am more than who I work for... But I guess she doesn't see it that way._ Yet, if she only saw him as an enemy, why had she drawn his eyes?
_This whole thing was so much easier when I was only spying on her,_ he reflected. Sometimes he wished he'd never peeked into her journal, the day she'd left it under the bleachers. Then he wouldn't have thought there was a chance. Suddenly, his mood brightened. He wasn't one to give up either. Coming up with a plan, he turned towards the Bayville mall. For this to work, he needed money, and he knew just how to get it.
Kitty and Rogue caught up with the boys just as the sun was setting. As Rogue went to take out Lance, Kitty caught her arm. "Just.. like, don't hurt him, okay?" The girl pleaded, and Rogue nodded.
