Kitty sighed. "Man, I thought there'd be more stores."
Kurt followed, holding boxes and boxes of "souvenirs". He looked at the sky. "Oh Gott, PLEASE let this be her last shopping bag!"
Kitty laughed. "Alright, alright. I guess I overdid it a little…"
"A LITTLE??"
Kurt couldn't believe the things that Kitty was buying. Sequenced sandals, glitter pink lip gloss, eight different kinds of capris, zillions of hair clips and scrunchies, a pink tank with rine stones… fancy little sunglasses… and that wasn't even the beginning of her shopping craze!
(A/N: I just had to do that for Lyra Silvertongue ~_^)
As they walked, they bumped into Betsy and Vincent. Kitty scratched her head. "So… umm… found anything?"
Betsy folded her arms. "No… every time I ask Golem, he doesn't say anything."
Vincent looked at her. "Something's happening… I can feel it."
Betsy wanted to laugh right in his face… but somehow, she felt it too. "Where do you think its coming from?" She asked.
Golem turned towards the north end. "There…"
Kurt almost dropped the shopping bags. "Let's go!"
Kitty looked at him. "We drop this off, and then we go…alright?"
Betsy and Vincent were already on their way. Betsy looked back. "Tell Xavier… I'll give him a message through the mind later if it's serious."
She looked over at Vincent… it almost seemed like too much work to keep an eye on him… but she couldn't finish the suspicion yet. Vincent looked at her. "They're up in the building three blocks away."
She blinked… how did he know that?
"Shard are you insane? He's our enemy!"
"You don't know that!"
"I THINK I would know after being chased by him all day!"
As the two were arguing, Remy and Rogue… for once… were actually working together. "I'll take de ones at de right, you take de ones at de left. Got dat?"
Rogue nodded. "Yeah…"
They were outnumbered… Remy drew a deck of cards in his hands. He moved towards the enemies to the right side of the room and shot the cards at all of them. Rogue took the ones at the left as agreed…
Chronomancer in the other hand stood aside, as if he was waiting to go one on one with Bishop. Soon, Vincent and Betsy appeared. They helped with the number problem. Soon Bishop stopped his quarreling. "Shard, you stay out of my way, you hear?"
She didn't want to listen… she didn't want her brother to attack Trevor… she sighed. What choice did she have?
Bishop aimed his gun. "You want a fight? Bring it."
Chronomancer smiled and began the attack. He wasn't going to let Bishop get away...
Betsy threw punches and kicks. She looked at Remy. "What's going on? Who are these people?"
Remy threw several more cards. "Dey hate Emma too… dey are trying t' reach Bishop before Emma does."
Betsy flipped back. "Oh? Who's Bishop?"
"De fifth one o' us." He dodged and punched the next person's stomach. From behind him, another attacker was going to hit him. Quickly, Rogue reacted and absorbed the attacker's energy. She looked at Remy. "I don't think this is the time to talk. We kind of have guests here."
Remy smirked. "Yeah, you're right. T'anks, Chere." He took out his weapon and continued fighting. Betsy looked over to see Vincent… just… standing there, doing nothing. She growled. "Golem! Make yourself useful you-"
Before she was able to finish what she was saying a mighty punch had hit her to the ground. Rogue looked back to see her comrade down. "Hold on Psylocke!" Just in time, the X-Jet appeared. The attackers soon ran for their lives and Chronomancer seemed to get the better of Bishop. He too, escaped. Remy ran to Bishop's aide. "You alright, mon ami?"
Bishop grunted and stood up. "Where'd he go?"
Shard sighed. "I'm sorry, bro… you probably would've gotten him if…"
He sighed. "Don't sweat it, sis. Don't interfere again, and we'll call it even."
Rogue helped Betsy up. "She won't have to interfere again… Bishop, you can come with us and we can stop whatever was started… we can end this together."
Bishop grunted and looked at the ground. "What good is it? Even if we get to Emma, she'll still do whatever the hell she pleases… or whatever she's planning." He looked at Remy. "I appreciate the help… but I can't go with you. I have to-"
"Bishop, I don really t'ink you have a choice here. Stayin' here puts your sister in danger. If you come wit us, you get a fighting chance… you don have t' do dis alone. What's de point to stay and fight if dere is not'ing you can do?"
Bishop smirked. "I thought I'd never hear those words from your mouth, LeBeau."
Kitty growled from the X-Jet. "Hey! Come on! It's GOING to look suspicious to have a jet next to an apartment building, come on!"
Bishop said his good-byes to his sister. Rogue and the rest entered inside the jet, along with the newest mutant.
"GOLEM! I HAVE THE RIGHT MIND TO THROW YOU RIGHT OUT OF THIS JET!" Betsy yelled. Vincent sat, his hands clasped together and his head down… as if he was a little boy that had gotten in trouble for taking a cookie from the cookie jar. Logan sighed. "It's no use yelling at him, Betsy. You're obviously not getting to him." The claws from his knuckles came out as he looked at Golem.
Kitty jumped. "Hold on! Hold on! Look at him! You should at least find out if he's sorry!"
They all looked at the muscular man. He looked at Betsy. "What?"
"Apologize." She was about ready to punch him.
He closed his eyes. "It wasn't my fight. Why should I?"
"WASN'T YOUR FIGHT??!!!" Betsy stood up. Vincent looked at her. "I'm sorry I made you mad. I'm NOT sorry for not fighting."
Remy smirked and leaned back. "Leave de man alone… he has a point."
They looked at Remy. He looked deep in thought. He was thinking about what he had just said to Bishop; about working together… once he thought about it, his attitude almost completely changed. He opened his eyes and looked at Rogue. Did SHE change him? No… yes… maybe…
Rogue sighed. "Well, out of the subject… where's are next spot, Betsy?"
"I'm still trying to find that out, Rogue, hold your horses."
They all returned to Bayville as Betsy looked up certain places with Professor Xavier. Vincent was sent elsewhere, and Betsy began to show Bishop around with Kitty. Kurt gladly rested on the couch. Rogue sat in the front of the mansion and looked at the street. It was getting dark. Remy stood next to her. "Mind if I sit down?"
She closed her eyes. "Sure, go ahead."
He sat and nudged her shoulder. "So, what are you doin'?"
She looked at him. "Wondering…"
"… about…?"
She sighed. "All kinds of things. Where I'm heading… … what I want to do from here on out…"
He smirked. "Well you know you're goin' t' go wit me t' find de other people and beat Emma… or whatever you choose t' do wit the whole situation… what other t'ings are you wondering about in de lines of where you're headed?"
She looked away. Silence replaced her words. Remy smiled. "You know, Chere… ever since I met you… you taught me t' trust in others… I guess Emma helped do dat too. An' I wan' you t' know, I wouldn't trade anyt'ing in de world… if I were never to meet you… Hell, I'd go find Emma herself and ASK her t' attack me."
She looked back at him. "What are you rambling about, Remy?"
He suspired. "Do you t'ink you'll take my memories if I kissed you?"
She stood up. Her eyes pierced right into his… what… what did Remy want anyway? They were friends… and besides, Rogue wasn't about to hurt him by kissing him. She had completely given up on kissing. Yes. Uh huh. That's right! Remy stood up. "Never mind… dat was a stupid question. I'll see you tomorrow." He walked back inside.
Rogue felt her heart race. She sat back down and looked at the door. Was she being attacked again…? No…no voices… her heart was still beating… but what was going on with her? Remy… … why did his question get her so raveled up? She hated herself. It was just a dumb boy. And heck, she can't even start anything even if she wanted to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After leaving the clutches of Emma, Vincent began to read. It fascinated him. The words, the questions in his mind. He was thinking, and he wasn't getting yelled at for it. Maybe he liked being away from Emma. He could feel his self-potential rising. There was so much that he could do… alone or not. He had a mind, a brain… but… it would only go for a certain extent. He sighed and turned the page. When will it be when they come across Emma? What will she do to him?
