Insomnia (not actual title… ^_^;;; lol)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was early. The sun was brightly shining… it seemed like a good day was to start. Rogue knew better. They were going to search for any more people who had been attacked… … it shouldn't be pretty. She looked back at her door. Remy was waiting. She sighed. "Do you HAVE to stand there and wait for me? It makes me nervous."
He smiled and closed his eyes. "How 'bout dis? Dis better?"
She threw a pillow at him. "I'm serious."
He laughed a little and closed the door. She shook her head and smiled, soon continuing her packing. Betsy pinpointed the next place… Atlanta, Georgia. Xavier, Logan, Ororo, Kurt, and Kitty decided to come along, with the X-Jet. If worse came to worse, it would be good to have a backup.
They waited in the jet. Uncertainly… they allowed Vincent to come as well… but they were going to keep an eye on him. They all were inside, eventually, and they began to go towards Atlanta. Rogue folded her arms. "Do you know who the person is over there?"
Ororo shook her head. "No. I believe you, Betsy, Remy and…" She looked at the fourth person… "and Golem will have to track whoever it is down."
Remy sighed. "What are you all gonna do when we're lookin', Stormy?"
Kitty laughed. "That's easy! Check out all the places! I would LOVE to have souvenirs!"
Kurt had a nervous look on his face. "Ja, and I need to help Kitty hold all of them."
Betsy looked at Vincent… he was just looking and observing everyone. She narrowed her eyes… she wasn't going to let Vincent venture off on his own. She looked at the others. "I'll go with Golem to look. Rogue, you and Remy go together… alright?"
Rogue shrugged. "Sure, I guess. It could be worse."
Remy looked at Betsy. "It'd be better if we went separately… we'd cover more ground, don you t'ink?"
Rogue smirked. "Trying to get rid of me, Remy?"
Betsy gave Remy a response to his mind. *"We can't trust Golem… let me go with him… and… hell… I know you want to be with Rogue."*
*"Is it dat obvious?"*
She smiled. *"Oh yeah. You'd have to be as dumb as Vincent to not see it."*
He smirked, and bowed his head down… he chuckled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't keep on hiding you like this…" The girl spoke. A young man stood, eighteen years of age. He leaned against the wall and looked at the ceiling, his heart still racing from the running. He looked at his sister. "I'm going to go back there."
She stomped her foot. "Are you crazy? You'll get killed!"
His skin was dark, along with his sister's. He smiled at her. "Don't you worry. I'll be fine. I'm the only one this happened to… they'd just be looking for me. Now… I want you to stay low. Answer nobody. I'll lose 'em, and be home before lunch time."
She brushed back her short blond hair. "You better, or you're going to give me a heart attack."
He laughed a little and gave his fourteen-year-old sister a hug. He kissed her cheek. Tears began to fall from the girl's face. She looked at her older brother with her big green eyes. "You… you better come back or I'll… I'll…"
He smiled. "I'd love to stay and chat… but I need to keep on moving… I'm expecting a great lunch when I come back." He let her go and left the apartment door. He hadn't been able to sleep for days… and yet, he wanted to go out and finish what was started. What a brother she had. The girl looked at the table… he had forgotten his gun. She whimpered and grabbed it. "WAIT! YOU FORGOT…" She sighed. By now, he'd have escaped. She put the gun inside her jacket and ran out… expecting to find her brother before he was killed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Found anything?"
"Non… keep lookin'."
Rogue sighed. "What a day. Walking around forever trying to find ONE person. How are we supposed to identify the person anyway?" She looked at Remy, who was in "la-la land". She grunted. "Helloo? Earth to Gambit?"
He looked at her. "Sorry… I thought I saw someone familiar…."
Rogue rose an eyebrow. "Anything important?"
Soon, crowds of people were running in one direction. Remy narrowed his eyes. "It's either dose people are runnin' in a marathon, or dere is somet'ing major happenin'." He looked at Rogue. "Let's get going."
They began running towards the crowd of people. Remy looked back to see a girl following them…
"OUTTA MY WAY!" She yelled and began running faster. Rogue looked at her partner. "Is SHE familiar?"
Remy smirked. "Shard! Where's your brother?"
She looked at him. "Nowhere! Now get outta my way!" She pushed right past the two and ran as if her feet were on fire. Rogue growled. "WHAT IS GOING ON???!"
Remy ran faster. "Looks like someone IS n' trouble… jus' follow Shard."
"I'm guessing that this isn't going to be an easy day, huh?"
"We got you surrounded. Now… come with us."
The young man reached into his jacket… nothing. Damn… he had forgotten his gun. He narrowed his eyes, sweat falling from his forehead. What could he do? His mutant power wasn't going to be so affective… nope… he needed firepower… his sister… ANYONE with a mutant ability that-
A card approached him… charged up. He smiled and did his attack, taking the affect of the card and deflecting it towards the normal attackers whom bared guns. Quickly, while the attackers were stunned, he ran past them, knocking down a few and climbed up the fire escape. "Yo! Bro! Here!" He looked down to see his sister, who threw his gun to him. He grabbed it. "Thanks…Now get out of here, Shard!" The girl nodded and began running. His eyes remained down to see Remy and Rogue. He had no time to say anything, so he plainly went all the way up the fire escape and to the top of the building. Remy followed, along with Rogue.
"Hey! What's goin' on?" Remy called to the young man.
Quickly, he turned around and shot at Remy with the gun… almost hitting his foot. The guy sighed and placed the gun inside his pocket. "Thanks for the save there…"
Remy smiled. "No pro."
Rogue looked from one man to the other. "Uh… who IS this guy?"
Remy looked at the man… it was easy to tell who he was from the "M" mark on his right eye… his sister, Shard had it too. "Dis here is Bishop…"
"Bishop…"
He grunted and kept running. Remy grabbed Rogue's hand. "C'mon! We need to keep on moving."
Rogue rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, thanks. It really helps to know when I'm still confused about what's going on!"
Remy looked ahead of himself. Bishop was jumping buildings, he had to do so as well to catch up. He grabbed Rogue and picked her up. "Here we go." He jumped one. Rogue growled. "Well? What's going on?"
Remy looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Oh sure Rogue… I know because I was here for longer dan three hours!" He, of course, was returning the sarcasm. Bishop soon climbed down another fire escape. Rogue and Remy remained following. Bishop grumbled. "What are you doing following me too, LeBeau?"
"I don t'ink you have enough time t' talk, right? De main way to escape is t' keep on moving, non?"
Bishop smirked. "Oh, right. You'd know that, huh?" He began running again. They followed. He climbed over a fence and ran back to an apartment building. He looked back. "If you want to come inside, that's fine. Try not to draw attention to yourself."
Rogue looked at Bishop's gun… it looked advanced. She looked up at him. "Where'd you get this?"
Bishop grabbed it from the table. "It was a necessity where I was from…"
Shard sat down, bringing pizza. Bishop looked at her and smiled. "You ordered it didn't you?"
She grunted. "YOU try running like a mad chicken and cooking!"
Bishop laughed and took a slice. Remy leaned back. "So what did you do?"
"Ahh, the government is on my back. They know I'm a mutant… and they know I have an 'illegal gun'… heh… illegal my ass."
"They can't be trying t' track y' down for dat… can dey?"
Bishop looked at him. "If there was another reason, I don't know." He was lying… but Remy let it slide this once.
Rogue looked at Bishop and Shard. "Have any of you… been attacked by a girl named Emma?"
Bishop looked at his sister. She looked back at him. Bishop sighed. "Not attacked… a girl has been talking to me, though… some pointless shit about life… I just ignore her… and the truth about what was going on… I'm not being followed because of my gun and the government. I'm being followed because I'm Emma's next victim."
"She'll be attacking you, soon… you should come wit us, mon ami. Rogue and I suffered de same t'ing."
"I don't know, LeBeau… I've seen the future and it ain't pretty… are you sure its wise for all of us to be bunched together? Maybe that's what little ol' Emma wants. Her buddy, Chronomancer is already on the move…"
"Chronomancer?"
Shard nodded. "Trevor Fitzroy… he used to be such… well… never mind. He never really was good… always a pain in the ass… but… he's worse than he has ever been… but…" She blushed.
Bishop rolled his eyes. "Come off it. Trevor is our enemy."
She grumbled softly. "Maybe YOURS."
Rogue groaned. "Don't tell me we have to beat this Chronomancer guy…."
Bishop nodded. "It's one of the obstacles to go through if you want to get Lady Frost. He hates her more than anybody… I think he's trying to beat her to the punch."
Without warning, people crashed through the window of Bishop and Shard's apartment. A group of people appeared… Bishop grabbed his gun, pointed it to the incoming attackers and guarded his little sister. The man who appeared to be the leader of them all was Chronomancer, who stood in the middle of them all… he looked at Shard, and then to Bishop. He smirked.
Bishop almost pulled the trigger, but his sister grabbed his hand. He looked at her. "DON'T DO IT!" She cried. Remy stood up and glared at the attackers. "Dis dem? Perfect. I thought t'ings were gettin' a little dull here."
Rogue grunted. "You're never satisfied are you? You just looove a good fight."
He smiled at her. "Damn straight."
