"Rise an' shine."
Rogue opened her eyes and looked at Remy at the doorway. She jumped up and threw a pillow at him. "If you EVER do that to me again, I'm going to kill you!" She growled. Remy laughed. "Sorry, I t'ought you'd be ok wit greetin' ya in de mornin'."
Rogue sighed, but smiled. "We leaving after breakfast?"
"Yep. So, better get up soon while I still intend t' beat the shit outta Emma."
Shard followed her brother, hands in her pockets, and headphones covering her ears. Bishop sighed. "Shard, you're going to have to stay here while me and the others go." She folded her arms. "What am I supposed to do when you're gone? Knit a sweater?"
Bishop groaned and shook his head. "Why won't you go skateboarding or something? Evan would probably like the company." She shrugged. "Sure, whatever. Just get back in one piece, ok? And give a good one to Trevor if you ever come across him." Bishop rose an eyebrow. "You hate him now?"
"Duh. The jerk didn't come to get me. Bishop…I'm sorry for being so brainless."
Bishop laughed. "It's alright. Happens all the time."
"HEY!"
"Gotta go, little sis. Take care of yourself."
Rogue kicked Remy from under the table. "Hurry up! You ate enough, you pig!" He looked up from his plate. "I can't go venturin' in an empty stomach, Chere." Kitty gulped down her orange juice, and wiped the remains off her lips. She yawned. "I'm ready to go. Come on, you guys!" Rogue leaned back on the chair and kicked Remy one more time. "Hurrrry!"
He stood up and put his dishes in the sink. He folded his arms and looked at Rogue. "No fair, y' got boots." He kicked one of the legs and Rogue fell to the ground. He laughed a little and kept walking. "You jerk!" Rogue got back up and ran towards him, he turned around and she stopped. He smiled at her… she couldn't help but smile back. For the past couple of days they never really joked around so much, because of "Vincent's Death". It was nice to be able to fool around. Remy opened the door. "Ready?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yeah." She grabbed his hand and walked out the door. Kitty blinked in puzzlement. What just happened there? It soon just got to her. "Holy crap! When did THEY hook up???" She jumped off the counter and ran after the couple.
They flew the jet to the place they last spotted Emma. They landed and searched around. The place was completely barren… no sign of clues of where Emma could've possibly went. From behind the nearby trees, Trevor appeared, with his right hand man Bantam and another henchman. Bishop aimed his gun as quickly as possible to his foe… but Chronomancer seemed interested in something else other than capturing Emma's Messengers. Bishop grunted. "What do you want?"
Trevor paced himself slowly to the small group of X-Men. He folded his arms and smiled. "Looking for Emma and got to a dead end, no?"
Bishop growled. "Tell us something we DON'T know."
Trevor gave Bishop a cold glare and looked at the others. "Believe it or not… I have a proposition for you."
Betsy placed her hands on her hips. "Proposition? Puh-lease."
Trevor smirked. "Well then… alright," he sighed, "I am, after all, one of the only ways to get to Emma. But if you're going to be THAT way… good luck, fools."
Remy groaned. "Hold up. Tell us de proposition."
"I help you to Emma… and… well… then I have a better advantage on beating her."
Bishop narrowed his eyes. "Yeah right! This smells fishy to me! What the hell are you up to, Trevor?"
Betsy hit Bishop on the side and shook her head. "What's the catch, Chronomancer?"
He laughed a little. "No catch… really… …"
Kitty's eyes widened. "WHAT? You're kidding!" Something just didn't seem right about this.
He looked at the younger girl. "Oh… I'm not kidding."
Betsy sighed. "What do we have to lose? He's our only way over there." She looked at Morph. "What do you think?"
The older man nodded. "I'm with you… and besides… we out number him. He tries anything: Bam! Fork in the eye." Betsy sighed again and shook her head. Sure, Morph was older than all of them… but he could sure as well take things as lightly as Vincent used to. Betsy nodded to Chronomancer. "Deal… but only for you to get us there. If you start pushing us around-"
"No reason to. Now… we have an agreement?"
"… …Yeah."
Rogue folded her arms. "I DON'T trust him, Remy."
Remy nodded, his hand on her shoulder. "Makes two o' us."
They all flew to the Pacific Ocean. Chronomancer smiled. "Alright… hover the jet right here. Me and my friends will be on the nose of this thing." Pietro rose an eyebrow. "What are you insane?!"
Trevor smiled. "Probably, but this is the only DIRECT way to go."
He folded his arms… "Whatever… YOUR funeral."
So, Chronomancer went to the nose of the jet with his two companions. He rose his hand and a small disk was made from his hands. Bantam looked unhappy, but pushed the other henchman in the disk, soon the man disappearing, and the disk turning a bloody red. Remy's eyes widened as he observed the process… they just killed their comrade.
Rogue was asleep. Heh… go figure. Remy looked down at her and suddenly the whole jet jolted. Chronomancer went back inside the jet, Bantam waiting for him outside. Remy ran to Trevor and grabbed him around his collar, hitting him against the side of the jet. Chronomancer smiled. "Why so mad?"
"Was dis just a trick?"
He laughed a little. "No… of course not… Oh… gotta go." He punched Remy aside the face and threw a small device in the middle of the jet. He soon jumped out. Pietro narrowed his eyes to see the small device was in fact, a bomb. Warp speed, he grabbed the bomb and threw it out the window. Bishop hit his fists together. "DAMMIT! I KNEW he wasn't to be trusted!" He looked out the window… err… up where the window was now. Chronomancer and his friend disappeared. But… the portal was so big it was sucking the whole jet in.
Rogue, of course, woke up when the jet jolted. Morph looked out the window. "Shit! Everyone! Hold on! This is going to be a bumpy landing!"
Betsy ducked as well as Pietro, Morph got a hold of Kitty, Bishop kneeled down and covered his face, Remy held Rogue close to him. The jet slowly began to fall apart. Obviously… this wasn't to finish them off… that was what the bomb was for… but at the moment it looked like they were going to fall for their doom. Kitty sneered. "Where are we GOING??!!!"
Morph grunted. "I'd LOVE to tell ya… but I'd have to answer falling to our watery graves."
"Oh! Thanks! That makes me SOOOO relieved!" Rogue yelled. Remy looked at Betsy. "Yo! Psylocke! Can't you make us land slowly?"
She closed her eyes. "I'll try." She touched her temples, and the jet remained moving at its pace. Betsy screamed. "DAMMIT! I CAN'T!"
Kitty screamed louder. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIE!"
Morph growled. "No! Come on!! Don't give up!"
Kitty sniffed. "Well, Mr. Smarty-Pants… YOU turn into a bird… or SOMETHING!!!"
Morph "Yeah right. I can't turn into one!! But I'll see what I can do…" he focused… tried to change his shape…but… no go. "AUGH! WHAT'S GOING ON???!"
Bishop sighed. "The only resort is to jump and hope we all meet each other."
Pietro smirked. "Hmm, staying here and crash, or jump from God knows how high! I like THEM odds!"
Rogue closed her eyes. "We HAVE to try! Let's do it! Count of three."
"1…"
"2…"
"3!!!!!!
