Rebel chp9
Early the next morning things were silent as ever. There was no early morning training session so no one was up yet, that is besides Rebel. She woke up at 5 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep so she started prowling the mansion on the ceiling for a little while. As she got closer to one of the windows in the front, she thought she saw a dark figure running past from outside. She jumped down to check it out and slowly crept towards the window on her tip-toes. Rebel perked her ears back and listened carefully. She heard someone creeping up behind her and spun around before sniffing the air to see who it was. "Ahh!" She shreiked and fell backwards over a pillow on the floor.
"Easy Squirt, I didn't mean ta scare ya." Logan whispered, chuckling a little.
Rebel growled, and smiled laughing at herself a bit. "Jeeze Wolvie, don't do that!"
Logan grinned and reached out his hand to help her up. "Sshh! Quiet or you'll wake someone up."
"Oops." She said, smiling sheepishly.
He stared at her. "What are ya doin' up at 5 a.m. anyway?"
"I was bored, an' I thought I saw someone outside before you scared me half ta death!" She whispered.
Logan looked around curiously and walked toward the door with Rebel close behind him tugging at his shirt. "Ya scared?" He questioned.
She stuck out her lower lip and frowned at him. "No! But you go first!" She said pushing him forward.
They stepped outside and both sniffed the air, looking around in all directions. Logan walked out toward the driveway and stopped dead in his tracks.
Rebel saw him stop and got nervous. "What, what is it??" She asked half whispering and half yelling.
"This is bad, we gotta tell the Prof. now."
Rebel ran over to Logan and tugged at his arm. "What is it?!"
Logan looked down at her. "There's a squirrel stealing all the bird food from the feeder!" He said teasingly.
Rebel growled at him, punching him in the shoulder. "That's not funny Wolvie!" She crossed her arms and glared at him.
Logan put up his hands in surrender. "I'm sorry Squirt, I couldn't help myself." He said laughing.
Rebel looked down at her feet and kicked at the dirt. "But I really did see something, or someone."
"It's nothin' kid, I would've smelled somethin'." He told her, walking back inside.
Rebel ran after him. "Well, maybe yer nose is busted!"
Logan smiled. "Well if my nose is busted than so's yers, you didn't smell nothin' either ya know."
Rebel huffed and headed inside. She saw someone there, atleast she thought she did. But Logan was right and she knew it, if someone was out there they would have smelled it.
But little did they know, someone was out there watching them. The only reason she was undetected was the scent cloaking potion she wore.
Inside the mansion Logan sat in the kitchen reading the paper and Rebel was in the rec. room watching t.v. Upstairs she could hear some of the other students getting up. Jean came down first and saw Rebel on the couch. Without looking away from the t.v. Rebel called out, "Mornin' Jean."
Jean stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "How did you know-" She paused for a moment. "Oh, yeah the scent thing, might take me awhile to get used to someone besides Logan being able to do that." She said, mostly to herself. "Good Morning." She replied before heading into the kitchen.
A few minutes later Kurt *BAMFED* onto the couch next to Rebel. "Guten tag!" He said brightly before 'porting into the kitchen.
Rebel got up off the couch and headed upstairs to get dressed. As she walked down the hallway Kitty phased through the wall infront of her. "Hi Rebel." She said waving away and phasing down through the floor.
'Just another normal day at the Xavier institute', Rebel thought as she entered her room. It was warmer than usual so she threw on a pair of basketball shorts and a tank-top. After she was dressed she ran to the stair rail and jumped on it sliding down extra fast. Spyke was making his way down the stairs as he noticed her barreling toward him. "Rebel look out!!" He yelled, diving out of the way.
Rebel jumped up from the stairs and ended up on the ceiling. "Whoa, I didn't know I could jump that high." She said looking at a disgruntled Spyke from the ceiling. "Sorry!" She yelled as Evan got up from the floor and headed into the kitchen for breakfast.
She got down off the ceiling and went to grab some breakfast herself. Rogue just started to come down and was wondering why Rebel had been on the ceiling. She dismissed it as fairly normal and went towards the kitchen with everyone else.
Later that afternoon Nemesis stopped by for a training session, she was in the Danger Room with Storm while Rebel and the others were doing drills out back with Wolverine and Cyclops. When the sessions were over Rebel met Nemesis at the front gate of the mansion.
Rebel ran over to Nemesis who was levitating by the gate. "Hey! You ready?"
Nemesis looked down at Rebel who was standing impatiently with her hands on her hips. "Yeah ok I'm comin' down Rebel, chill!" She came back down slowly and stood in front of Rebel.
Rebel smiled and cracked her knuckles. "Ok, lets hit the mall!"
They stepped out of the gates and headed down the street. "Hey Rebel, you sure the Prof. said it was ok for us to go out? Shouldn't we like, get a ride or somethin'? I mean, the mall is kinda far."
Rebel stopped. "Well,....the Prof. said we could go out, as long as we weren't alone. We're not alone, I mean you're not exactly no one right?"
Nemesis grinned. "I guess not! But what about a ride??"
Rebel sighed. "Well I guess if you really don't wanna walk. Hmm..." She scratched the back of her head. "Hey! There's Kurt, he can give us a ride, he's got his license."
Kurt was in the driveway doing backflips and such, not really doing anything. Rebel yelled out to him. "Hey! Kurt!!!"
He looked over at them and *BAMFED*. Before they knew it, Kurt was right infront of them. "Hey guys, vhat's up?"
"Kurt, can ya give me an' Nem a ride ta the mall?" Rebel asked him, smiling.
Kurt stood there for a second. "Umm..sure I guess ve could take the X van."
Nemesis jumped up. "Cool! Let's go!" She and Rebel grabbed Kurt's arm so he could teleport them to the garage.
They were there in a flash and anxiously hopped into the van. Kurt drove them to the mall and they hopped out of the van just as quickly as they'd gotten in. "Thanks Kurt!" Rebel and Nemesis thanked him.
"Hey do you guys need a ride back later?"
"No, that's okay Kurt, we're gonna walk." Rebel said shutting the van door.
"Okay, bye." Kurt said just before he took off back toward the mansion.
Nemesis just stared at Rebel. "What?!"
Nemesis rolled her eyes. "It's gonna be dark by the time we walk home!"
Rebel was confused. "So??? Oh come on, it'll be fine, it's not like we can't take care of ourselves! And b'sides, it won't be that dark."
Nemesis shrugged and they headed into the mall.
They walked around for a few hours, not really doing much or buying anything. Nemesis wanted to look for a pair of shorts in Macy's, so they went in and Rebel sat while Nemesis tried on some clothes. After that they were a little hungry so they went in the food court to eat and hung around there for a little while.
Back at the mansion Logan walked into the kitchen to find a very confused looking Kitty wandering around. "What are ya doin' Half-pint?"
Kitty jumped up, not noticing him leaning up against the door frame. "Ahh! Whoa, you like scared me!"
Logan shrugged. "Sorry." He mumbled.
Kitty looked around. "Oh, I was um..looking for Rebel, she wasn't in her room or the Danger Room, and she's like, obviously not with you, so I figured she'd be in the kitchen."
Logan stepped away from the door frame and grabbed an apple off the table, stabbing it with his claws. "She ain't here."
Kitty scratched the top of her head and stood there. "Oh...well I was supposed to help her with her algebra homework. Her teacher came up to me today and asked me if I'd give her hand because she's having trouble in that class and well I'm like, already in geometry."
Logan rolled his eyes, he didn't care to hear about what was going on in boring classes at school. "Well, guess ya missed her then, she went ta the mall with Nemesis."
Kitty gasped and Logan stared at her. "They went to the mall and like, didn't even ask me?! I rule the mall, I mean I like, buy a pair of shoes every time I go!"
Logan nodded and slowly backed out of the kitchen so as not to start a conversation with Kitty about shopping and clothes.
At the mall Rebel and Nemesis were getting tired and bored and it got pretty late. As they were about to leave Rebel stopped and stood in the middle of the floor. Nemesis looked at her as if to say, 'what the hell are you doing?' Rebel turned around once more, now facing Nemesis.
"Okay Rebel, tell me, what is it?"
Rebel walked over to Nemesis and whispered to her. "Look behind me at that kid with the orange hair."
Nemesis discretely looked behind Rebel at the boy. "So?? It's just some punky kid." She whispered back.
Rebel sighed in frustration. "That kid's been followin' us the entire time we were here."
Nemesis rolled her eyes. "So that just means he's some freak kid who's just following us around, doesn't mean he's a stalker or anything."
Rebel grabbed Nemesis by the arm and started walking faster. "I know he ain't some kinda stalker, but that guy's been followin' us an' I didn't even smell him or anything!"
"Well maybe that's just cuz there's so many people in the mall."
"No, trust me, he doesn't have a scent. And ya know what?? He's one of the kids me an' Wolvie busted up the other night for hangin' 'round the mansion."
Nemesis froze. "So what do we do then? Is this kid a mutant or somethin'?"
Rebel nodded. "Yeah, and I figure he knows who I am too and maybe he's thinkin' 'bout a little revenge for gettin' beat up."
Nemesis started walking again with Rebel and the kid kept following them. Nemesis looked up and saw the sign for the bathrooms. She winked at Rebel. "Look, if we make a break for it, we can head into the girls room, he shouldn't follow us there."
Rebel nodded and they continued walking faster with the boy close behind. Then they started counting to three untill Rebel whispered. "Run for it!"
They made a mad dash into the bathroom and slumped against the back of the door when they were in. They looked around and saw that there was no one else in the bathroom, they were all alone.
"Whoa, that was close. This is really weird." Nemesis sighed.
"Yeah." Rebel agreed. She then peeked out of the door and saw the boy was still coming. "It's not over yet!" She yelled.
"The stalls!" Nemesis shouted.
"Wait! We need ta get this door blocked!"
"I got an idea!" Nemesis told Rebel to move away from the door and she concentrated her powers on the metal edges of the door. She combined her sonic waves and blasted the door's metal, melting it slightly.
Rebel sighed. "Ok that should hold fer a little while!"
They dashed into a stall in the corner of the bathroom. Inside the stall there was a small window with a metal screen covering over it like chicken wire. They stared at the window, relieved to find a way out.
"I got it covered!" Rebel said, unsheathing her claws and slicing away the covering on the window.
Then Rebel hoisted Nemesis up through the window.
Just as Nemesis was safe and out of the bathroom, the boy barged in through the barricade on the door and stepped inside.
Rebel turned around and could just barely see the top of the boys head from the opening in the stall. All of sudden the boy transformed into the blue skinned woman known as Mystique. Rebel's eyes were wide focusing on the door. Nemesis then got her attention and she jumped up to the window.
Mystique heard the noise and came toward the stall door, kicking it open just in time to see Rebel scramble her feet out through the window. Rebel and Nemesis caught a glance of Mystique before dashing away.
As they were running away they could hear Mystique yell out in rage that she had let her catch get away.
They ran and ran as far as their legs could carry them until they finally stopped at an old bus stop near an alley. They figured the blue skinned woman had stopped coming after them by now and they slumped against a brick wall.
"Holy shit! Rebel that was freakin' close!" Nemesis exclaimed.
"Yeah, no kiddin'." Rebel looked around. "Man, it got dark fast, and it looks like it's gonna rain soon."
Nemesis noticed the dark clouds forming over their heads. "Yeah, we better hurry, we gotta walk all that way and someone's gonna start worryin' about us."
They got up and started their long walk towards the mansion. Nemesis was supposed to be spending the night so atleast her parents wouldn't get worried. As they walked, every once and a while Nemesis would shoot out some of her sonic waves so they'd have a little light for a few seconds. Soon after they started walking, it began to pour, hard.
"Oh what the frig!" Nemesis yelled.
Rebel began to run down the road. "Come on!" She called after Nemesis.
"What are you doing!?" Nemesis yelled back and started running to catch up.
"Running!" Rebel yelled as she started to jog so Nemesis could catch up. "If we run then we'll get back sooner and be out of the rain!"
Nemesis was getting slightly frustrated and wasn't too happy about running at the moment since she was tired from walking all through the mall half the day. She started running alongside Rebel in the pouring rain.
They finally reached the gates of the mansion. Rebel and Nemesis were soaked to the bone and they were extremely tired. They stopped for a moment while Rebel punched in the security codes so the gate would open. She then looked down at her watch. "Uh oh!!!"
"What is it??" Nemesis asked a little worried.
"It's almost 11:00!!" Rebel yelled. "We are sooooo dead! Wolvie is gonna kill me!"
They started dashing toward the mansion. They didn't bother trying to sneak in because they knew someone would be waiting for them to return in the foyer, and it was probably the Professor and Logan.
They burst in the door and to their surprise the only ones standing there with a disaproving look on their face, were the Professor and Storm.
"What in the world were you two doing on this late at night? And in this weather?!" Storm asked a bit angry.
The Professor wheeled up to the drenched Rebel and Nemesis. "I'm sorry Professor, I know we shouldn't have been out that late and just the two of us but-" Rebel tried to explain.
"No you shouldn't have." The Professor said. "But I know what happened and I know about the blue skinned woman who was after you."
Nemesis and Rebel stood there dumbfounded.
Storm gasped. "Mysique!"
Rebel and Nemesis were confused, they knew who this woman was? "Mysic who???" They asked.
The Prof. spoke up. "Mystique. She is an associate if Magneto, she is a shapeshifter and can transform into just about anything and anyone."
"Holy smokes!" Rebel said aloud. "But there's one thing I don't understand, I mean I get that she can transform and stuff, but can she hide her scent? I didn't smell her at all, and she was one of the kids that me an' Wolvie had ta get rid of fer hangin' 'round the mansion. He didn't smell her either."
The Professor leaned back in his chair for a moment. "Hmm..Logan knows Mysique's scent so he would have smelled her if she was indeed one of the children at the gates."
"What is going on Professor?" Storm asked.
"I'm not sure, but Magneto is definetly up to something."
Rebel stood there for a second. She was more than a little surprised that Logan wasn't there. "Hey, where's Wolvie?" She asked Storm and the Professor.
The Prof. looked up. "He went out on his motorcycle looking for you two. I'll radio him and tell him you're back here and safe." The Prof. took out the com-link he had in his lap and started to radio Logan. "Logan, Logan are you there? It's Charles."
There was alot of static and what sounded like Logan's motorcycle engine. "Yeah I'm here. Have you heard anythin' from 'em?"
"Yes, they're back at the mansion and a little water logged, but they're perfectly fine, you should head back now the weather is worsening." The Prof. answered back.
"Alright, I'm on my w-" *Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccch!*
The Professor nearly dropped the radio at the loud screeching noise. Rebel, Nemesis and Storm stood there staring.
"What was that?! What happened!?" Rebel asked getting nervous.
Storm froze. "It sounded like a crash."
The Prof. picked up the radio and called into it. "Logan, what happened?! Are you alright??"
There was no answer.
Rebel was getting very worried now.
The Prof. put his hands on his temples and started tracing for Logan's brain wave patterns. He opened his eyes after a few seconds and they went wide in shock. "He's been in an accident."
Rebel stood there without saying a word. Storm was getting worried but tryed to stay calm so she wouldn't scare Nemesis and Rebel. "Can you find him Professor?" She asked calmly.
The Professor bowed down his head then turned around and headed towards the elevator. "I'll use Cerebro to track him, gather Beast and tell him to prep the X-Jet."

"What are you doing!?" Nemesis yelled back and started running to catch up.
"Running!" Rebel yelled as she started to jog so Nemesis could catch up. "If we run then we'll get back sooner and be out of the rain!"
Nemesis was getting slightly frustrated and wasn't too happy about running at the moment since she was tired from walking all through the mall half the day. She started running alongside Rebel in the pouring rain.
They finally reached the gates of the mansion. Rebel and Nemesis were soaked to the bone and they were extremely tired. They stopped for a moment while Rebel punched in the security codes so the gate would open. She then looked down at her watch. "Uh oh!!!"
"What is it??" Nemesis asked a little worried.
"It's almost 11:00!!" Rebel yelled. "We are sooooo dead! Wolvie is gonna kill me!"
They started dashing toward the mansion. They didn't bother trying to sneak in because they knew someone would be waiting for them to return in the foyer, and it was probably the Professor and Logan.
They burst in the door and to their surprise the only ones standing there with a disaproving look on their face, were the Professor and Storm.
"What in the world were you two doing on this late at night? And in this weather?!" Storm asked a bit angry.
The Professor wheeled up to the drenched Rebel and Nemesis. "I'm sorry Professor, I know we shouldn't have been out that late and just the two of us but-" Rebel tried to explain.
"No you shouldn't have." The Professor said. "But I know what happened and I know about the blue skinned woman who was after you."
Nemesis and Rebel stood there dumbfounded.
Storm gasped. "Mysique!"
Rebel and Nemesis were confused, they knew who this woman was? "Mysic who???" They asked.
The Prof. spoke up. "Mystique. She is an associate if Magneto, she is a shapeshifter and can transform into just about anything and anyone."
"Holy smokes!" Rebel said aloud. "But there's one thing I don't understand, I mean I get that she can transform and stuff, but can she hide her scent? I didn't smell her at all, and she was one of the kids that me an' Wolvie had ta get rid of fer hangin' 'round the mansion. He didn't smell her either."
The Professor leaned back in his chair for a moment. "Hmm..Logan knows Mysique's scent so he would have smelled her if she was indeed one of the children at the gates."
"What is going on Professor?" Storm asked.
"I'm not sure, but Magneto is definetly up to something."
Rebel stood there for a second. She was more than a little surprised that Logan wasn't there. "Hey, where's Wolvie?" She asked Storm and the Professor.
The Prof. looked up. "He went out on his motorcycle looking for you two. I'll radio him and tell him you're back here and safe." The Prof. took out the com-link he had in his lap and started to radio Logan. "Logan, Logan are you there? It's Charles."
There was alot of static and what sounded like Logan's motorcycle engine. "Yeah I'm here. Have you heard anythin' from 'em?"
"Yes, they're back at the mansion and a little water logged, but they're perfectly fine, you should head back now the weather is worsening." The Prof. answered back.
"Alright, I'm on my w-" *Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccch!*
The Professor nearly dropped the radio at the loud screeching noise. Rebel, Nemesis and Storm stood there staring.
"What was that?! What happened!?" Rebel asked getting nervous.
Storm froze. "It sounded like a crash."
The Prof. picked up the radio and called into it. "Logan, what happened?! Are you alright??"
There was no answer.
Rebel was getting very worried now.
The Prof. put his hands on his temples and started tracing for Logan's brain wave patterns. He opened his eyes after a few seconds and they went wide in shock. "He's been in an accident."
Rebel stood there without saying a word. Storm was getting worried but tryed to stay calm so she wouldn't scare Nemesis and Rebel. "Can you find him Professor?" She asked calmly.
The Professor bowed down his head then turned around and headed towards the elevator. "I'll use Cerebro to track him, gather Beast and tell him to prep the X-Jet."
Author's Note: sorry it's been awhile but I've been a bit busy catching up with school work and studying for driver's ed. Well, I hope you liked this chapter, left it as a cliffhanger. Don't worry, I'm not exactly giving up on this story yet, but more reviews would help. BTW if you want shorter chapters I think i'd be able to get them sooner, so jus tell me in your review. Thanx to my loyal readers! *BAMF*
