There you go....another part to this little saga. Enjoy!
X-treme Circumstances Part 9
Wolverine and Gambit walked into Jubilee's room.
"Boy is her room messy!," Gambit commented as he noticed the moving boxes still in there.
"Give her a break. She's only been here a week and already she had to go save a life. That doesn't leave much free time when you also have to study."
Gambit rolled his eyes and walked over to Jubilee's desk. It was the only semi-neat part of the room. He counted his blessings as he picked up Jubilee's address book. Flipping through the pages, he frowned.
Wolverine noticed the look of defeat on Gambit's face, "What's wrong? James not listed?"
Gambit shook his head, "No, he is listed, but the only thing here is his dorm room address and dorm phone number."
"Shit," Wolverine commented, "I guess we'll have to check Sarah's room."
"Somehow I don't think she'll mind when we tell her why we had to break into her room.
******************************************
After locking up Jubilee's room, the two walked to Sarah's door.
Gambit reached for the doorknob, "There are some good things about growing up a thief....No?"
Wolverine rolled his eyes, "Just get the door open."
"Hey Wolverine, wasn't Sarah's room locked before we left?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Here room isn't locked right now."
Wolverine pushed Gambit to the side and opened the door.
The room was in shambles. Books were strewn about, furniture was overturned and clothing were out of their dressers.
Gambit looked over Wolverine's shoulder, "Wow.... this room has been pretty messed up. Jubilee's room looks immaculate to this."
Wolverine looked at Gambit, "Immaculate?.... where did you learn such big words.?"
"It's called reading. Can't I read now?.... sure as hell didn't get it from Cyclops."
Wolverine nudged Gambit with his elbow, "Shut up..... there's someone still in here and it ain't Sarah."
******************************************
Pyro looked outside the doorway cautiously. He had grown careful in the past few weeks due to increasing hazards of work. His new boss was not the popular type and many stupid mutants have tried to kill him.
Pyro smiled, they have tried but they all failed.....miserably. They never even got close to him. That is why when he first heard of a job here he was skeptical. this guy had enough power that he didn't need him for protection. So it was kind of suspicious.....especially considering the line of work the guy was in.
That was when he realized that his job there would be to prevent any annoying distractions from coming to the boss.
Pyro went back to the task at hand and eyed the messenger suspiciously. Opening the door, he produced a fireball in one hand.....just in case.
"What do you want?," he barked at the messenger.
the messenger, a weak mutant who's only power was to run real fast, looked nervous. He noticed the fireball and tried to say something but no sound came out.
Pyro sighed. This guy wasn't planning anything stupid that was for sure......too much of a wimp. He let the fireball in his hand die away and waited patiently for the lowly mutant to speak.
"Well?," he prodded.
The messenger held out an envelope, "A priority message from Magneto. He says that it needs to be answered quickly."
Pyro thought about the situation and finally opened the door wider, "Come in."
******************************************
"Someone's in here?," Gambit whispered.
Wolverine nodded, "I can smell him. Besides, his heart beat is rapid....He knows we're here."
gambit watched as Wolverine lightly stepped around the items that lay on the floor. Making sure not to make a sound, Wolverine extended his claws slowly and got into a defensive stance as he walked into the bathroom that is shared with the room next door.
Pulling back the curtains, he was surprised to find a frightened, reddish-brown haired girl.
"Don't kill me!," she pleaded, "I didn't see anything!"
Gambit walked over to the bathroom when he heard the girl, "Relax, we won't kill you."
"You won't?," she asked.
"Of course not.... Who are you? why are you here?"
She relaxed, "Melissa Loadenstein. I kind of ended up in here. You see, I came here hoping to catch up with Sarah. Her door was unlocked so I came in to talk to her. But when I came in, I realized it wasn't Sarah in the room. I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to get my notes back so I could study for my test."
"Who was in here?," Gambit asked, "Was it a lady with blue skin?"
Melissa gave a confused look, "Blue skin?... no. From what I saw it was two men about your height. Fortunately they didn't check the bathroom where I was hiding. I heard them leave a while later so I was planning to leave too. then I heard you guys enter and thought it was them returning. That's why I was scared when you found me."
Gambit looked at Wolverine, "Do you think they maybe friends with Mystique?"
"Probably. It wasn't she who did this. Otherwise this place would reek of her."
Wolverine walked past Gambit and went over to what remained of Sarah's desk. He smiled. Her address book was still there.
"Well, well.... If they were looking for James's house address, then they failed at that task," Wolverine commented, "The page with his address is still here."
He handed the book over to Gambit, "Let's go."
Before he left he took one last look at Melissa, "You might want to go back to your room and just forget about the notes."
******************************************
Pyro led the messenger to a makeshift throne room.
"Why did you bring him here?," A cold voice boomed throughout the room.
the messenger jumped and looked wary of the new man.
Pyro looked at the figure partially hidden in the shadows and smiled, "This coward is here to deliver a message from Magneto to you. He says its urgent."
"Really?.... then give it to me."
A hand snatched a letter from the messenger.
Pyro watched as his boss read through the letter. He could see the discolored mouth form a chilling grin as the man wrote something down on paper.
the shadowed figure handed the note to the Messenger, "Take this to Magneto immediately."
The Messenger nodded and scurried out of the room.
Pyro looked at the grin on his face and became curious, "Sir, what was so important in that letter?"
"Magneto found something I'd might want to look at later."
"What is it?"
The grin on his face widened, "Just something that might prove useful for an upcoming job................. Come. Awe better get ready."
******************************************
Mystique waited in the dark for Magneto to come back. Magneto had gone back to his lair to wait for his messenger to return
She sighed. Why doesn't he just phone the guy like he does other mutants? It would make things so much easier on them when it came to abductions. But Noooo... Magneto and that other guy had to insist on doing things the old fashioned way. And the only way he'd use the cellphone or have someone else use one was if they used cryptic messages. Some stupid reason of how cell phone conversations could be picked up easily. What a stupid excuse! By the time the right people found out., they could be long gone with that Jareth.
She was peeved. She didn't want to wait for Jareth! the longer she waited, the longer that Sarah brat would be around him.
******************************************
Magneto looked at the messenger before him.
"For you sir," the messenger said as he handed the note over to the boss.
Magneto took the letter and read it. A smile came over his face as her reached for the phone.
When the phone was answered, he smiled, "Get ready... I'll be over soon."
******************************************
Mystique smiled as she hung up the phone. Soon, they'd be able to attack. She hoped that Magneto would get his ass down here quickly.
She turned to look at Jame's house when she heard a door slamming. Damn! They were leaving!
Mystique changed form and began to follow them.
******************************************
James smiled happily as he closed the door behind him. "That wasn't as bad as I thought."
Jubilee laughed cheerfully at the comment. It's amazing how being accepted can make you feel wonderful. She could imagine how he felt.
She smiled, "Now that this ordeal is over, we should have some fun!"
Jareth shook his head, "No.... sorry but I think that you three should go back to the college and attend your classes."
"Spoilsport," Jubilee muttered.
Jareth glared at Jubilee, "I'm sorry but you have already missed some classes on my account and I don't want you to miss more than you have to."
"He has a point, Jubilee," Sarah said, "I have a test in one of my classes soon and I need to attend all the lectures I can."
"Ok...We'll go..," Jubilee said, "Just don't expect me to like it."
"You? enjoy school? Never crossed my mind."
As the three walked in the direction of the school, Sarah turned to James, "You coming?"
James nodded, "You go ahead. I have to do something first. I'll catch up."
Sarah shrugged and went with the others while James entered the house.
******************************************
"Are you sure this is the right way?," Wolverine asked.
"How would I know? All I have here is an address. I don't know where this street's at!"
Wolverine groaned. Gambit could get on his nerves at times. Well..... most of the time. But when it came to hanging around him or Visor boy, he would choose that Cajun.
"We should have asked Melissa," Gambit stated.
"Duh."
gambit rolled his eyes at Wolverine's comment and crossed the street to where a red-headed woman stood.
"Excuse me Cherie," he said with a grin, "do you know where this street is?"
He showed her the address.
"Why yes I do... But it's clear across town...."
******************************************
The woman smiled as an evil grin as she watched the two men walk away.
"That should keep them busy," she thought, "Good thing I noticed them before any of the others did."
She turned her attention back to the three.
What is keeping Magneto so long?
******************************************
James walked up to his old bedroom and turned on the computer.
He was appalled at how slowly the computer was connecting to the internet until he realized that unlike its on campus counter part, the computer didn't have a DSL hook up.....what's worse was the service provided to the computer sucked.
"Damn AOL!!!," he muttered as the program booted him off just as he got on. He tried logging on again and was happy to see that he was staying on this time. "Why couldn't Mellissa just give me her phone number instead?," he thought as he checked to see if the id would work in his instant messenger. He smiled when he found out that she was on line
He typed an instant message to her:
'Hey Melissa. Just wanted to tell you Sarah is back. Just in case you still need her notes.'
James waited for a reply to confirm that she got the message. He did a double take when he scanned the reply message:
'So how did Sarah react when she saw her room?'
He began tying again:
'React? Why?'
'You haven't seen her room yet?'
'No.'
'Oh.'
James was confused
'Could you tell me what happened?'
James waited for several minutes and finally was rewarded with a paragraph:
' I saw the door open and thought she was there so I walked in. Two men were trashing Sarah's room so I hid. It seemed as if they were looking for something. Well, when they left, the two guys I told you about earlier came into the room. I told them what happened and they went looking for you.'
James let the new information soak in...Sarah's room had been trashed.... Wolverine and Gambit are looking for them.. then it hit him............
....Someone was stalking them... Why?
James jumped up from the desk, not bothering to log off. He ran down the stairs.
"Bye Mom! See you later," he yelled out as he opened the door, " Could you turn off the computer when I leave? thanks! Bye!"
James stepped outside and sprinted towards the campus. They needed to know.
******************************************
"I can't believe it!," Gambit said as the two retraced their steps, "Why would someone purposely give us wrong directions?"
"Maybe you're not as charming as you think," Wolverine suggested.
******************************************
As the three friends entered the campus, Jubilee looked at her watch, "My first class for today begins in ten minutes."
"Then go to class." Jareth responded, "I'll walk Sarah to her dorm."
Soon, Sarah and Jareth were walked alone on the path. They walked in silence.
After a few minutes, Jareth broke the silence, "So...."
"So?"
"What did you think of um... the time we spent together?"
Sarah smiled, "I can honestly say I enjoyed your company."
"So you're okay with me?... After all I did?"
"Jareth,... have you ever heard the phrase, 'time heals all wounds'?"
"Sounds familiar... Why?"
"Well with time I was able to think more objectively about my first trip in the Labyrinth. Why should I be mad at you? You were following my wish with Toby. You warned me of the danger. Without the challenge you gave me. I'd still be the girl with her head in the clouds and not the studious girl I am now."
"But I liked it when you had your head in the clouds... You were interesting.... Granted you still are but in a different way."
"That's nice of you to say."
"It's true."
Before the two of them knew what was happening, their lips met.
Sarah's heart fluttered. Was this the feeling you got when you are in love?
Their lips parted, leaving the two out of breath.
Jareth looked at Sarah, "Sarah?..."
"What?"
"The feelings I experienced for you in the Labyrinth aren't the same now."
"What?," Sarah's heart fell.
"It's true....," he confessed. Then a grin appeared on his face, "They have grown stronger."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked into her eyes, "What I felt for you then is nothing compared to the way I'm feeling now."
They stood together in a long embrace.
******************************************
Jareth kissed Sarah on the forehead as they reached the entrance to the dorm. Rather than put Sarah through the hassle of signing him in, Jareth said his good byes there.
"Will you visit me tomorrow?," she asked.
Jareth smiled, "Of course. Whatever you wish."
Sarah smiled at the comment, "Till tomorrow then..."
"Till tommorow."
Jareth watched as Sarah walk to the elevator. When she was out of his sight, he walked out of the building.
Being that it was the daytime and, he decided to walk.
As he reflected on the past hour with Sarah, he noticed a figure funning to him. "James?"
******************************************
Sarah dreamily walked down the empty hallway and unlocked her door.
Nothing could possibly run this day for her. Absolutely nothing.............except for what she found behind the door.
"Oh my god...", she mumbled as she looked at the mess before her, "This can't be real."
Venturing into the room, she checked her belongings.
Picking up a small, red, leather bound boo, she breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile she tucked her copy of 'Labyrinth' into her book bag as well as some clothing items she might need for tomorrow. There was no way she was planning to spend the night here.
Jubilee wouldn't mind if she stayed with her for a little while. Given the circumstances at least. She opened the door and walked through the doorway into a figure standing in her way.
She looked at the figure in front of her. A short, but built man grinned at her, "Why hello Sarah...," he said, "We have been waiting to ask you some questions."
"We?," Sarah thought, "Where's the other one then?"
Just then she felt an arm reach around her chest pinning her arms to her sides. Another hand came to her mouth and nose, preventing any audible screams. As Sarah fought, a strange sensation overhellmed her as she smelt a strange smell. She realized that the hand over her face was holding a cloth soaked in something as well.
"Why is this happening?," She thought as she slipped into unconciousness.
-To be continued.
Don't worry. I won't leave you hanging for long......(evil grin)
