X-Men
Dawn of Destruction
A/n: Okay, you guys, this story is not getting any reviews! If you are reading this right now-review please! If you flame tell me why or else I'll be pissed. Thanks.
Last Chapter: After causing an explosion with his kinetic energy in the mall, Gambit flees with Iceman and Rogue. Once at safety, he kisses Rogue and collapses. Inside the chaotic mall, Moonstar and Thunderbird took on a fleet of mall police as well as the H.S.A.M.F. teenage staff and now all five mutants are on the run. Storm, Zee, and Nightcrawler return to the Institute and Cyclops is manipulated by Methane's powers.
"Mayhem at the Mall"
"Oh mah GOD!" gasped Rogue, clasping her mouth with her hand, "Oh mah God!"
Gambit lie before her on his back-his eyes looked upward warily and small plights of smoke were drifting from his mouth. He sputtered and gasped for breath, sucking in as much air as he could before his chest collapsed again.
"What happened?" Bobby asked, shoving aside his jealousy as he made his way over and grasped Rogue's shoulder.
Rogue felt the tears slice down her cheeks, "He kissed me-I didn't mean to hurt him! It's not mah fault-he kissed me!"
Bobby fell to his knees and jammed two of his fingers into Gambit's pressure point. Gambit sucked in a shaky breath and swallowed through an achy throat.
"He's still got a pulse", the Iceman confirmed, looking up at Rogue, who was wiping streaking tears from her face; "I think he'll be alright."
Rogue winced as she was brushed from behind. Kitty, Jubilee, Psylocke, and Magma stumbled forward. Rogue whimpered and stroked some of the renegade tears from her face.
"What's wrong?" Kitty asked, true concern etched in her eyes as she reached out for Rogue.
Rogue shrieked, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
The girl with the white-streaks running through her hair backed away from five pairs of eyes that stared at her with what? Judgment? Sorrow? Sympathy?
"Ah might hurt ya", she murmured to herself as she clutched her robed arms.
Bobby stared at her for a couple more seconds before turning to the rest of the girls, "Where's Neal and Danielle?"
Gambit murmured in response from his spot on the ground. He looked up through hazy eyes. Damn, were they still at the mall? It seemed like he had been unconscious forever. He looked over at Rogue-the poor thing was looking at him with tears welling in her eyes. He made eye contact with her and winked-just so she would know everything was okay.
"They're still inside", Jubilee answered, panic sweeping over her, "Now will someone tell me what is going on?"
"Wise guy down there", Bobby pointed down to where Gambit was slowly making his way to his feet, "decided that it would be fun if he blew up some teenage hate group. The mall caught on fire and now we are in BIG trouble."
"Great going", Psylocke snapped, crossing her arms.
Gambit finally got to his feet, rubbing the back of his head, "Ah shove it, Betsy. It ain't all my fault. Bobby-boy over there used his powers too."
"To put out the destruction YOU caused!" Bobby snapped in return.
Gambit shrugged and looked over at Rogue, "Now to the matter at hand- what the hell happened when I kissed you. I mean, I've heard of seeing fireworks during a first kiss, but never going into a coma."
Rogue looked at her feet. She knew he was just trying to lighten the mood, but it wasn't funny. Not after the incident that summer-when she had put the poor boy in her room into a coma for almost a year. She took a deep breath and crossed her arms, "Ah don't know what happened-you caught me off guard. My power is to take energy from your ability and use it at my will. Ah've never had somebody react that harshly to kissin' me before."
"Wimp", Bobby coughed, glancing over at the puzzled Gambit.
At least when they were going out he could actually withstand her kisses-he didn't collapse like a punk. Rogue glared at him angrily and turned herself away from the group.
"So where are Neal and Dani?"
Before anyone could answer, a long, blinding streak of fiery light raced across the parking lot. The mutants ducked and braced themselves as a mild explosion sent them stumbling back. Bobby smirked as Rogue toppled on top of him and he steadied her balance. From the rubble of nearby asphalt, Neal poked his head up with a smile and Danielle looked as if she were about to be sick.
"Neal-how many times has the Professor told you to gain more control over your power before you use it?" Bobby scolded.
Neal just smiled and got to his feet, "Ah, shut-up good little icicle boy. It got us out of there fast since we had NO BACK-UP." The tall, muscular Indian boy glared at Bobby, Rogue, and Gambit. Amara broke out of the group and embraced him, adding a peck to his cheek.
"I was worried", she said, as he returned the hug, "I thought you were hurt-or worse."
Danielle stumbled to her feet and made her way toward Gambit with a pissed-off look smothering her face, "You stupid punk! Do you know how much trouble you could've gotten us into?"
"You mean the trouble he DID get us into?" Neal snapped angrily.
Gambit put his hands up in mock fear, "Oh now what? Are they gonna picket sign their way around me? I am sooo scared."
Danielle clenched her fists. Bobby grabbed her shoulders just before she fought the urge to charge and slam her fists into that cocky Cajun's face. Rogue stood in front of the smirking patron.
"Ya'll need to calm down", Rogue said, "We've all had mistakes with our powers before!"
"I can't believe that you're sticking up for him!" Bobby snapped.
"Shut-up, Bobby", Kitty yelled, "You're just mad because Rogue is moving on and you're still stuck on her!"
Bobby blushed crisply as Rogue eyed him over and crossed her arms.
"The explosion wasn't supposed to be that big", Gambit tried to assure them, "It was just supposed to be a spark-to shut 'em up. I didn't mean to set the whole mall on fire."
"See?" Rogue snapped.
"And you believe him because?" Psylocke sneered.
Before another word could be interpreted, the gang of frightened mutants began screaming at each other. Bobby, Danielle, Neal, Psylocke, and Amara were screaming about how irresponsible Kitty, Rogue, and Jubilee were being for sticking up for Gambit. Just as the argument was heating up, a familiar, silver van pulled up beside them. A large, red X crossed the side.
The window rolled down and Wolverine poked his head out, "Well, Red, you were right. These little punks were up to no good. Get in the car- NOW!" In the passenger side seat, Bobby could make out Rachel sitting, cross-legged.
"You ratted on us?" Kitty accused as she crawled into a seat next to Jubilee.
Rachel peered back, offended, "No-I just had a vision, and a feeling that something was wrong. So I told the nearest supervisor I could find, which happened to be Wolverine."
"What happened?" came Wolverine's gruff, angry voice from the front seat.
Everyone began yelling at once and Rachel had to close her eyes just to keep her train of thought.
"SHUT-UP!" Wolverine screamed as he turned the van angrily, "Now, Bobby-boy, tell me what happened."
"Well", began Iceman, glancing at Gambit in his accomplishment. He proceeded to tell the whole story, exaggerating the explosion, and then went on to tell how the H.S.A.M.F. now knew him, Rogue, Gambit, Danielle, and Neal by face.
Rachel turned around and glanced angrily at the skinny, muscular mutant, "Why did you do that?"
Gambit rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He was sick of all these questions. Why was everyone always asking for initiative behind his acts? Why couldn't they just leave him alone?
Wolverine peeled out of the mall parking lot angrily-the silence piercing the inside. Little did they know that behind them, a long, white van was tracking their every move.
A/n: Okay, everything I said would happen in this chapter will happen next chapter, k? Uh, review, cuz this story has only five reviews and I was hoping for more.
