Chapter Four: Argument
Damia, Kitty, Kurt, and Amara all hopped into Scott's car. Scott was talking with Jean, who was sitting in the driver's seat in her SUV. Damia and Kitty had to tell John and Lance that they were unable to attend the practice for English class that day.
"Vat is taking Scott so long?" Kurt asked, as he turned to see what was holding Scott up.
"Jean." Kitty replied.
"Zat's it!" Kurt yelled and teleported out of the car. He had been in a hurry to get home, because he had a study date with Amanda at four, and it was three thirty.
"I agree with him." Amara said, after Kurt had poofed out of the car.
"Arvo!" (Afternoon) John yelled as he walked toward the red convertible.
"JOHN!" Damia gasped, she was surprised that he was coming anywhere near Scott. She had thought them mortal enemies or something along those lines.
"Happy to see me?" He asked and bent down to be at eye level.
"Of course." Damia smiled. ^^Why wouldn't I be? ^^
"Ace (good), so why can't you come today?" John asked.
"Well," Damia didn't know what to say. "Scott." Was all she managed to say.
"Oh, so I guess that if that bastard comes over here, he's going to give be one hell of an ear bashing?" (Tell me off) John smiled, then continued "But, it'll be worth it sense I'll be talking to a Sheila like yourself." He winked at her; he noticed her staring at him with a humorous look on her face. "What?" He asked.
"I guess your right about that ear bashing." Scott said from behind him.
"Fuck!" John jumped from the surprise. "You sure are a pesky bloke (guy)!"
"I think you should leave." Scott commanded him.
"Listen mate, we aren't fighting at the moment for puppies or a happy Chrissie (Christmas), so why don't you buzz off?" (Leave.) John told him rudely.
"Listen, I don't want to hurt you so go." Scott commanded him to leave for the second time.
"I'd like to see you try mate." John replied egging Scott on.
"Stop it!" Damia told the two. "What is your problem?"
"It's not me, it's this fruit loop (fool) that's got the problem." John explained.
"What?!" Scott began "You're the one over here!"
"It's a fucking free country mate!" John shouted; he didn't get this guy. Why couldn't he talk to Damia, without all the hassle? "I just want to talk to the Sheila!"
"Well, we have to go sorry." Scott said.
"Wait," Damia replied, and got out of the car. She got close to John, and whispered in his ear. "Meet me at the park at ten tonight, near the picnic tables."
John smiled and walked away giving Scott the one finger salute.
"Asswhole." Scott muttered under his breathe.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As Scott entered the driveway of the mansion, and into the garage an unexpected call filled their minds.
Get suited up, and meet me in the conference room.
"Great what is it now?" Amara complained, mostly because she had tons of homework to do, and fighting Magneto's army was a waste of time at the moment. But, she knew she had to and that there way no way out of it.
"Hey Scott," Damia called to him before he left the garage and head into the mansion.
The turned and looked at her. "Yeah?"
"We need to talk, okay?"
"Sure, later though." And with that he left them.
"What is with him?!" Damia cried, and stormed into the house.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
"Thank you for coming." The professor told them. "It seems Magneto has struck again, and is on the move. It appears that he is headed to some army station, and I need you to stop him before he gets there."
"Is this about that wiper outer machine?" Bobby asked him.
"Yes, Beast and I were able to locate it, and it appears that the base is where it is kept." Professor X explained.
"Alright then, let's move." Scott commanded, and every one headed to the Blackbird.
Damia sat in one of the seats next to Scott; she was partnered with him for reasons only the professor knew, which where for them to sort out the differences that have come between their friendship. When the Blackbird landed the two got out of the jet, and to the woods near the side entrance of the base. Damia leaned against a tree, and Scott stood ever watchful.
Cyclops, Venus they won't be here for another twenty minutes so stay in position.
Right. Cyclops replied, Venus just nodded.
"Well, it seems we have time, so I think we should talk." Venus told him.
"Not now, we're on a mission." He told her.
She just rolled her eyes. "Listen, whatever is between you and Pyro is in the past. He hasn't done anything, and I really don't understand why I am unable to communicate or even look at the guy." She said a hint of anger in her tone.
"He's a bad guy. Look what we are up to now! He's involved! Do you want to associate with someone like that?!" He snapped back at her.
Her eyes widened, Venus had never been someone quick to anger, but if provoked she would be on you like a mouse on a piece of cheese. "Excuse me? No!" She got in his face her eyes filled with rage. ^^Who the hell does he think he is? Zeus? He needs to be put in his place once and for all! ^^ "You have absolutely no right in telling me who I can or can't associate with. It's my business, and it damn well isn't any of your concern. I like John, okay? Do you get that? Does that penetrate your thick ass skull at all?"
A red flash crossed Cyclops visor, he was furious. ^^How dare she talk to me that way! ^^ He stared down at her "You're new; you haven't a God damn clue as to what the fuck is going on! You come here, and assume-"
"I have assumed nothing! And who are you to tell me I'm under you?! I don't think you're the Professor! And I'm sorry that you hate them so much. But, oh well. I don't care! You can hate them all you want, but to expect everyone else to be the same way? That's just plan stupidity. Yes, I know he's involved with this. We are as well, why else would we be here?" She yelled at him furiously.
They didn't know it, but they had obtained quite the audience. Jean had heard the conversation, and told Kitty, who most likely spread the word some how. Most of them were in disbelief that Damia had voiced her opinion to Scott. She was new, and he was in charge.she had some guts. The only other person brave enough to do that was Rogue and she and Scott had settled their differences.
"That's not what I meant!" Scott roared in reply. "I mean-"
"I know exactly what you mean!" Damia screamed. "You think it's black and white, no in between. Well I hate to ruin you stupid view of good and evil, but just because they work for him doesn't make them bad. There's good in there somewhere deep down. Can't you stop trying to be the fucking jerk and see what's truly going on?!"
"I see what goes on! You want to get it on with one of them! And don't tell me whose good and bad, I know what's what!" Scott told her firmly "I think you're the one who needs to check their definition of good! Just because a guy indicates he likes you-"
"Looks like Summers can't keep his team together?" Avalanche mocked him. Apparently the enemy had arrived. They used the object of surprise sense all of the team seemed to be paying more attention to Venus' and Cyclops' argument than to the task at hand.
Both of the arguers glared at the rock tumbler. Scott shot a blast at him, and Venus made some roots grab hold of his feet and journey up his body slowly entrapping him.
"Stay out of this Alvers!" Scott yelled, he was already pissed off at Venus, and wasn't in the mood for Lance's taunts. Fortunately Lance couldn't reply because the roots were already to his head and one acted like a gag, so he couldn't speak.
"Listen guys, this isn't like the time to fight." ShadowCat told them, hoping they'd stop.
Venus nodded, knowing that they had been interrupted and it was no use to argue now. "Alright ladies, and gentlemen," she was acting odd "Let's play." The team hadn't ever seen this side of Venus before. Actually it was the side she used when she was fighting a battle, and right now, this was a big battle in her mind. The others followed her lead and began to fight.
Quicksilver had decided he wanted to play with Venus and she had automatically obliged. "Hey pretty one," The speedster cooed. "Care to start where we left off?"
She cocked an eyebrow "And where's that?" She thought for a moment, unintentionally allowing Pietro to give her a smack in the jaw. "Oh yes," she rubbed her jaw. "Teaching you some manners." She blew him a kiss, and he fell under her spell causing him to slow down.
"See," Pietro said haughtily "Everyone wants a piece of Pietro." He smiled happily. She waved to one of the trees and its branch grew and grabbed Pietro by the ankle. He hung upside down, and he struggled to get lose, but the more he tried the more the tree's branch looped around him. She walked away happy with her handy work, enjoying the sound of Pietro screaming for someone to get him down.
Suddenly a hand hit her in the stomach; she looked up to see Avalanche. She guessed he wasn't happy about her shutting him up. "How'd you get lose?" she asked.
He gave her a smirk "Pyro burned the root to the ground."
"Oh, well then I guess I need to have a talk with him." She walked around him, but he got back into her path.
"I haven't had my fun yet." Lance said with a smile that made her cringe. But, fortunately before he could do any major damage she saw a blaze of red light hit Avalanche in the back. Cyclops. She ran and got away from Rocky boy.
"Where ya heading?" She heard someone ask; Pyro.
"Not this way." She said and turned to the other direction.
"Ah ah ah, Sheila." Flames past her sides barely touching her.
"Did you intend on missing?" she turned to ask him. He looked at his feet; she took that as a no. She had no intension on fighting him, and he wasn't to keen on the idea either. But, they had to do what they had to do. They both understood that. "Ready then?" she asked him.
He managed a smile, and nodded.
Professor, tell Storm to make it rain, on my command. Venus asked him telepathically.
Are you hurt?
No, but I will be.
I'll wait for the command then.
Venus leaped from the ground and ran at Pyro; he stood in battle stance ready for an attack. She flicked her wrist and a strand of grass began to grow very long in length, when it had grown as long as she wanted she pulled in hard because it had gotten thick; ripping it from its hold on the earth. She lashed the blade of grass at him, it hit his shoulder causing his suit to rip letting the whip cut him. He just grited his teeth, and aimed at her.
Now! She screamed mentally. The clouds turned gray filling with water, and when the cloud could hold no more it poured down to the surface. Unfortunately the flames had already hit Venus on the right arm, her suit burned off. The rain put out the flames, but it had left a third degree burn.
She stared at Pyro sadly, ^^Why? I don't want to fight him. ^^ his eyes looked full of concern. She closed her eyes and lifted her face to the sky letting the drops of water fall on her, helping her to heal. The clouds spat the rain forcefully, and she accepted it thankfully. It gave her strength. She knew that the rain gave Pyro a disadvantage as well as it did some of her team mates. She threw her whip again at Pyro, but this time letting go of it. The green whip flung around Pyro numerous times around his body, causing him to lose his balance. He fell to the ground, and Venus walked over to him. She looked down at him, and crouched down close to him. Tears were falling from her eyes, but the only evidence of them was that her eyes were red, and her face flushed. He looked up at her, he was helpless his team mates were carried away fighting or had left. She looked at his expression; it was blank like one would look at a funeral. He knew what she had to do, knock him unconscious with her kiss.
"What you waiting for love?" He asked her managing a smile.
She leaned her face to his concentrating on the poison coming to her lips, her face closing in the space between them. His head actually moved as much as it could to meet her, but she hesitated.
"Let's make this one a pash." (A passionate kiss.) He said with a smile, waiting. He wanted her anyway he could have her, even if it was in battle and an attack.
She made the poison retreat and leaned in closing up the space completely. She kissed him lovingly, and caressed his tongue with hers. His lips were wet from the rain. When she ended it she stared into his eyes, and then kissed his forehead.
He kept his eyes closed expecting to see his vision blur and then go black. But, surprisingly he didn't, it took him a moment to realize that she hadn't used her poison on him. A small smile crossed his lips. ^^Maybe she does feel the same way.^^
