Thanks to all my lovely reviewers, who bring that extra ray of sunshine to my day...and also make me get off my lazy butt and do some writing.
Sorry these take so long, but i need to know what happened in the episodes. But as seen as it is supposed to be a repeat next week, i should be able to get a few more chapters in. I've also just realised that i've been speeling Todd's name wrong. Apparently its Tolensky not, as i thought, Tolenski. Oh well...
Okay, i got a few synoposis of 'Stuff of villains'. Damn it sounds good!!!!. Well if i mess up anywhere, don't yell at me, i haven't seen it yet remember. Oh, i noticed after reading about 'Mainstream' that Todd mentioned his 'mamma'. Mmmmmmmm. I think it's one of those things that only I would pick up on and think deeply about. Yes....well...
Guess who's in this fic?. GAMBIT!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE Gambit!!!!!! I'm soo happy he's on Evo properly now, i wish i could hear his voice. Todd and Gambit. Wow! I repeat, Todd and Gambit!, i think 'Stuff of villans' is my fave before i even SEE it!!!!!. I appologise if my Gambit is a little off, but i haven't seen him yet, so i'm pretty much basing him on the Fox cartoon Gambit.
Chapter 11 - A change of leadership.
Sidney had been sitting in her room, plucking on her guitar. Wanda had returned home briefly and then told her roomate she had 'stuff to do'. Sidney could hear the sound of the boys fighting outside the door. She sighed, Lance was trying to get them to clean up the house, in case Mystique showed up. Sidney servely doubted that. The house trembled for a second and she heard Fred yell, then there was a thud outside. Sidney rolled her eyes and put her guitar down. She heard Lance and Todd squabling close to her door.
"Wanda, help me".
Sidney blinked, had that been Todd?. Suddenly Todd burst through the door, in Pietro's uniform, with his eyes covered. Sidney chuckled and hid behind the door.
"Sorry! It was an accident, for real this time", he said, opening his eyes and looking around, "Wanda? Sweetums? Where'd she go?". Sidney gave a low growl, making Todd spin around.
"Wanda isn't in right now, can i take a message?", asked Sidney, crossing her arms.
Todd's eyes nearly feel out of his head.
"Sidney, honey....hi", he said with a nervous laugh, "i didn't mean...what i just said...y'see...".
"Don't even TRY coming up with excuses", said Sidney with a snarl, pushing past him, "i'm going for a walk before i scratch your eyes out. You toady little...TOAD!".
Todd winced as he heard the door slam. Unfortuantely, at that point, Lance burst in. Sidney heard the fight over Pietro's uniform continue, normaly she would have chuckled, but she was too angry.
Sidney had walked off to have some peace, she knew Todd liked Wanda, she also knew that he liked her but it still anyoyed her. To her surprise, she saw Wanda sitting on a cliff, looking down at a bunch of army trucks.
"Errr..Wanda?", she said, "what are you doing?".
Wanda looked up in surprise.
"Oh...it's you", she said, crossing her arms, "i'm not doing anything, just having some time to myself. AND some time away from your idiotic boyfriend".
Sidney narrowed her eyes.
"Don't get me started on that", she said coldly.
"Why, you jealous?", Wanda smirked.
Sidney growled.
"Are you trying to start a fight witchy woman?", she said, "'cause if you are.....".
"Chill out cat-girl", said Wanda, "like i would even WANT to steal that slimeball from you. Even if i could do it easily".
"Thats it witch!", said Sidney, putting her hands into fits, "it's go time!".
"Please", said Wanda, rolling her eyes, "like i'm even slightly scared of you".
"You will be", Sidney snapped.
Her eyes glowed green and she transformed into a leopard. She snarled at Wanda.
"Oooooooooohh i'm realy scared", said Wanda sarcastically.
Sidney roared and dove at Wanda, knocking her to the ground. She unsheathed her claws and raised one of her paws. Wanda narrowed her eyes and made a tree uproot itself and knock the Sidney-leopard off her. Sidney gave a growl again, and got up. She turned to face Wanda again and leapt at her. Wanda hex-bolted Sidney, causing her to fall of the cliff. Luckily, Sidney landed on her feet. She looked up to see Wanda still on the cliff, she narrowed her eyes and walked off, passing the army trucks. Suddenly a noise got her attention.
"Hey, pssssst Sid, over here".
Sidney blinked and looked at one of the trucks, inside was Pietro, waving at her. Sidney looked over to the army guys, they weren't watching. She walked over and transformed into her normal form.
"Well well well,", she said quietly, putting one of her hands around one of the bars, "if it isn't the traitor, caged. How....nice".
"Oh come on Sid, let me out will ya?", wispered Pietro, "i'll make it worth your while".
"There's nothing you can offer me Maximoff", said Sidney.
"Come on, let me out", said Pietro, narrowing his eyes, "i have high friends in high places y'know".
"Well good for you", said Sidney, "you walked out on us Pietro, you find your own way out".
With that, she changed herself into a black cat and trotted off.
"Sid..wait...no..come back!", said Pietro, as he watched her leave, "oh damn".
When Sidney arrived back home, she walked straight upstairs and into her room, slamming the door behind her. She still smarted from her fight with Wanda. Put that with the fact of seeing Pietro and having to deal with Todd's new crush and she was NOT a happy cat-girl. It wasn't long before she heard a knock on the door.
"Sidney?".
It was Todd.
"Go away Tolensky", warned Sidney with a growl.
Todd winced, she only ever called him 'Tolensky' when he was in BIG trouble. He cleared his throat.
"Look....i'm really sorry about what happened", he tried.
"Funny, so am i", said Sidney.
"So....errrr...you want to go out ta see a movie or somethin' this week?", he asked.
"I'm not very well", replied Sidney.
"Oh...okay", said Todd, "well what about next week?".
"I'm washing my hair".
"All week?!", said Todd, blinking.
"I have alot of hair".
Todd sighed and banged his head on the door. He knew Sidney well enough to know when she got like this, there was no getting through to her.
"Fine", he said with a sigh, "i'll..go...help Fred. I'll talk to you later, okay?".
He got no reply. He shook his head and walked off.
Sidney was still up in her room some time later. She heard Lance come in downstairs and mutter something about them being expeled. She then heard a lot of crashing and banging.
"What is all the ruckus now?", asked Sidney, walking downstairs, she then noticed Gambit and blinked, "hello".
Remy smiled and nodded.
"Bonjour chere", said Remy, "i'm Remy LeBeau. And who might the vision of beauty i see before me".
"I'm Sidney Cagney", she said, holding out a hand for Remy to shake, "but you can call me Sid".
"Well its a pleasure to meet you....Sid", said Remy, taking Sidney's hand and kissing it, causing Sidney to blush and Todd to frown.
"Well...a charmer", said Sidney, giggling slightly, then pulling herself together, "so..err...what brings you here Remy?".
"He wants us to go rescue Pietro", said Lance moodily.
"Pietro?", said Sidney, blinking, "i just saw him. He wanted me to rescue him, but i told him i wouldn't".
"Well Magento has order...", started Gambit.
"I don't care", said Sidney, "i...i've had enough of dealing with Maximoff's".
Todd winced, Remy picked up on it in a second and grinned. Sidney meanwhile, walked back upstiars.
"Rescue him on your own, i'm not gonna help him out", she said, then smiled, "it was nice to meet you Remy".
"The pleasures all mine chere", said Remy, blowing her a kiss.
Sidney smiled and walked back into her room. Remy grinned and turned to Todd.
"A tip for you Crapaud (a/n: that's French for Toad. I researched it!)", he said, "don't fall for one belle while you're in love with another".
"I don't need your love tips Cajun", muttered Todd.
"Does'nt look like that from where i'm standin'", chuckled Remy, walking out of the house, "don't forget to save de Speed demon".
A few hours later, the boys had come home, claiming that Rogue and Kitty had wreaked their mission. It had pretty much bummed them out and they had been lazing around the house for hours. Sidney had been sitting upstairs, listening to Lance strum his guitar and wondering why he hadn't told her he knew how to play before. She then heard the door burst open and Remy's voice. A small smile spread across her face. The cajun was extremely handsome and had an accent to die for. She was pulled out of her daydream by the sound of a familiar voice. It was Pietro. She ran downstairs, Pietro looked up from his chair and smiled.
"Hello Sidney", he said with a grin.
"What are you doing here Speedy?", she snarled.
"I'm your new boss", said Pietro smugly.
"That's not funny", said Sidney, crossing her arms.
"Who said it was", said Pietro with a chuckle, "now as seen as you refused to help me, i'll let you clean out the bathroom".
"I'm not doing anything YOU say", Sidney snarled.
"You haven't got a choice puddy-cat", said Pietro, "do as i say or get out".
"You know i have nowhere else to go", growled Sidney.
"Well you better get cleaning then hadn't you?", said Pietro.
"Drop dead", said Sidney, storming away.
She walked into the kitchen to see Lance sitting down. Looking at a bowl of cookie dough sadly.
"You're gonna let him walk in and take your leadership from you?", she asked.
Lance sighed.
"I haven't got a choice", he said, "besides, i'm too tired to fight back now. It's been too hard y'know? Between losing Kitty and getting expelled from school. This was just too much".
"So what are you gona do?", asked Sidney, sitting down.
"I'm gonna sit here and eat raw cookie dough and drink Avian until i pass out in my own misery", said Lance.
"I think i'll join you", said Sidney, banging her head on the table.
"Yeah, i guess you had it tough too huh?", said Lance.
"You got that right", said Sidney, sadly turning her head towards Lance, keeping it on the table,"i mean, not only does that...that witch, come in and drive Tabby out AND make me share MY room with her, but she had to steal Todd from me too".
"It's just a crush", said Lance, trying to reasure the feline mutant, "i'm sure it will pass".
"I hope so", muttered Sidney, "'cause not only is it wreaking our relationship, but it might even wreak a eleven year friendship".
"Cheer up", said Lance, putting a hand under Sidneys chin and lifting up her face, which was starting to get teary, "if i know Todd, i don't think he'd do anything to hurt you".
"I hope your right Lance", said Sidney with a sigh, "i heard you ran into Kitty?. It must have been tough".
"Yeah", said Lance, with a sigh, "i mean...i didn't want to hurt her. I don't want to lose her, but....but...i guess our sides are too far apart".
"Awww you poor puppy", said Sidney, giving Lance a hug, "hey, it's her loss you hear me?. You're a sweet guy".
"Thanks", said Lance, hugging her back, "you pretty good yourself. Wanda's nothing comapred to you".
"Really", said Sidney, looking up, a tear still on her cheek.
"Really", said Lance, wiping the tear away.
They stared at each other for a second, right before falling into a passonate kiss.
Whoah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and another HA!. I'm evil, evil, evil. What a cliffhanger huh?. Bet you want my blood now don't you?. Ha! Review please, God i bet i'm gonna get flamed for this one.... Until next time....
