Emma

Bantam sighed. "This is a wild goose chase."
Trevor smiled. "You'll see, my friend. It will all be worth while in the end."
They continued their walking, and soon a small light was found. They were now outside of what seemed like the environment Emma was… but no… in front of them stood the very complex in where Emma rested. Trevor smiled and looked at his comrades. "We go now. It's a large building for just one woman. Let's take her down." He walked to the door. He quickly opened it and went inside.
The inside of the house was dark… small candles lit. Bantam turned on the lights, and all that was seen was the living room packed with things gathered up for many weeks. Broken toys… the true surroundings of an insane child. Trevor grunted. "I don't get it... the White Queen left the asylum months ago… she couldn't have been living here for so long… and yet look at all the junk she has. It's like she lived here since she was an infant."
One of his men held onto a doll lying on the ground. He looked up. "Poor girl… maybe she just wants to play?"
The leader spat on the ground. "Yeah right. Not likely." He glared at the new recruit. "HEY! WATCH OUT!"
Spikes came out from the doll, piercing the man in the hands brutally. He began bleeding.
*" Nuh uh… no one but my friends touch MY toys."*
Emma. Trevor laughed. "Friends? Now, White Queen, who are you fooling?"
*" No one invited you, Trevor. I suggest you leave… if you know what's best for you."*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week passed. Remy didn't heal all the way, but wanted to get back up… he wanted to actually show up for ONE day of school. Rogue already explained everything to Pietro… he was sworn to silence about it. Remy walked down the hall and Rogue saw him. She gasped. "What are you doing up?!"
He smirked. "Ain't y' s'posed t' be laughing, Chere?"
She folded her arms. "Remy, I'm serious! You're gonna die if-"
"I feel fine. Besides, de doc was alright wit it."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine. Get yourself injured."
He smiled. "Ah, you're jus' jealous de ot'er girls are lookin' at me."
She stopped. By God, the other girls in the hall WERE looking at him… she laughed. "Yeah, its because of your-" She stopped and looked at his eyes… something was extremely different. "Your eyes! What happened??!!"
He smiled. "De Professor gave me somet'ing to put over dem so dat no one suspects a t'ing."
Brown. As perfect as the shade in his hair. Rogue grunted. "And I'm NOT jealous." She walked to her locker and opened it. Remy leaned against the locker next to hers. "Yeah… Chere, about de kiss… what was dat you said about me never gettin' one?"
She could feel herself… … blush??? No way! She narrowed her eyes. "Don't think too much about it! It meant nothing." She closed the locker after gathering her things. He smiled. "Its not everyday dat I get a kiss so good it knocks me out for a week."
"Keep on talking and you'll be out for another week!"
He smiled. "You'd do dat for me?"
She growled. "Not by kissing, you moron!"
Once again, on the nerves…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chronomancer and his men were closing in slowly. Trevor growled. "I'm getting quite bored with this! Come out from the abyss, you bitch."
*"No… I like this game. Hide and go seek. I never played that as a child."*
Trevor looked at his men. "We're going to find her NOW." The men nodded and followed as Trevor began running from room to room. Soon he stopped in a room that was completely black. This was it. He narrowed his eyes. "Game's over. Come out and fight, White Queen."
A shadow slowly walked away from the walls. Her face was still unseen, but her presence was obvious. Trevor smiled. "You may start, comrades."
The new recruits began their attack on the visible shadow. She seemed to disappear after every punch and every throw, and every energy attack. She reappeared, with a swipe of a hand, all the attacking minions fell to the ground fatally injured by a blue blade-like attack from her hands. Bantam stepped back. "Maybe we should fight another day…"
Trevor growled and ran towards Emma. Bantam's eyes widened. "NO! CHRONOMANCER! YOU'LL DIE!"
He grabbed a hold of her neck, and ran her back against the wall. She was laughing. *"Is that all you got? I'm disappointed."* She grabbed his wrist that was holding her into the air and began to twist it. Trevor yelled in pain and let his grasp go. He checked his arm… It hurt. He began making a portal. "Bantam, get ready!" He yelled. The yellow-skinned man nodded and began finding a place for the portal to go. Trevor began the attack on Emma again.
"You're not going to win!"
She laughed. *"Face it! I'm more powerful than you can ever imagine! The world is mine, so face it! You'll see my ways soon enough!"*
"You just want to rule the world?" He threw several punches at her.
She smiled. *"You want to take control over it as well, I know. But I rightfully claimed it first. The seven mutants rebel now, but soon I will give them the power to become my mighty messengers. They will spread my reign and the humans will learn..."*
"IN YOUR DREAMS!" He landed a punch right on her face. She looked to the side in impact. Trevor growled. "The normals will learn MY way, AND the way of MY team. Your seven mutants will die and I will spoil your plans! The world is MINE, not YOURS to take!"
She looked at him, an angry look and feeling struck her. *"Chronomancer… I'm afraid you need to die now."*
The light reappeared in her hands. Her face was somewhat visible from the vibrant light of her power. She hit Trevor across the chest with it, and he fell to the ground. Bantam narrowed his eyes. "It's done, Chronomancer! We need to go NOW!"
Trevor slowly got up, but Emma ran up and kneed him on the face. Bantam quickly grabbed one of the henchmen that was still breathing and threw him in the portal. The life was taken and the portal was active. He grabbed Trevor and threw him in. Emma stood there and waited. *"Go… leave… I'll kill you the moment you are able to stand again, Chronomancer. I have other things to take care of with my seven mutants."*
Chronomancer's life was spared… but for how long?
The two arrived in their base from the portal. Bantam checked on his leader. "You're bleeding, Sir. Should I take you to a doctor or aid you here?"
"Here… ugn… damn her. One of these days, Bantam, we will get her."
He helped him up and over to the small infirmary in the complex. He rested him on the bed and sighed. "Shall I bring Shard here?"
"No…"
"Oh my God! What happened?!" Sure as it could be, it was Shard. She ran inside the infirmary and sat next to the man she loved. She touched the frame of his face. "Are you alright?"
"Shard, I'm slashed across the chest… ugn.." He removed his shirt to reveal the gruesome mark. Bantam took a damp towel and began cleaning it. Shard sighed. "Where are your new recruits?"
Trevor flinched from the pain. "Unrecruited." He looked back at Shard and pulled back her short silky blond hair. "Shard… how would you like to join me and Bantam when I get better to get the White Queen?"
She smiled. "I'd like that a lot…"
"Then it's done."
Shard soon made herself useful and helped Bantam get Trevor in healing order. She told Bantam soon to take lead of the followers until Trevor was feeling well again. Bantam nodded and took the post.

Remy sighed. What a day at school. He couldn't believe all the things he had missed and had to make up… awww, hell. He wasn't going to make all of it up any times soon, so why start now? He looked to see Rogue sitting at the front. He sighed and walked towards her. "We have NO classes toget'er… did you know dat, Chere?"
Rogue laughed. "Yeah, I know."
"Dat's no fair. I t'ink you're smart enough to be a senior. Come help me out." He smiled. She looked at him. "Nuh-uh. You have fun with your advanced classes and fail, and I'll do my own thing."
"Hey, hey! FAIL?"
Rogue smiled. "I'm not gonna repeat myself."
He grumbled. "How 'bout we get going back to de mansion?"
"Good idea."
When they arrived, Vincent was with the newer X-Men and was playing kickball with them. Remy smiled. "Amazing how dat man changed… He's so peaceful now."
Rogue nodded. "I know… where's Bishop, Betsy and Morph?"
Remy shrugged. "I reckon Bishop is in de danger room wit Betsy. As for Morph… probably wit Logan."
Rogue sat down and watched the kickball game. "Remy?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think Emma has in store for us?"
"I dunno, Chere." He looked at her. She looked bummed, or really deep in thought. He put his arm around her shoulder. "Don' worry so much." She glared at him. "Don't worry so little. How can you be so calm all the time? Its… inhuman." He laughed and stood up. "I have bigger t'ings in my mind, I guess."
Suddenly he felt a large pain in his chest and almost fell over. Rogue stood up and helped him. "Remy…? Are you alright?"
He clenched his teeth. "Not all de way healed… dammit…"
"Hold on. I'll get you to Mr. McCoy, and I'll bring whatever we eat tonight over, alright?"
"Sounds good." He held on tightly. It was excruciating.
