Chapter 3

Magneto stood there stoic as ever just watching over the scene before him. He still had no idea how to go about the situation at hand. Gambit was still asleep and Mystique had now moved on to other cutlery. If only Magneto had known what went on in the past week it would be so much easier to just handle the overall situation and stop Mystique from finding the hedge clippers or the chainsaw.

Little did Mags know how quickly his wish would be granted.

There came a knock at the door.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. I mean they were in a secret lair for cripes' sake and last time they checked no one had placed an advertisement in the paper pin pointing their location.

The knock came again.

Now everyone's gaze was on their fearless leader.

"Wanda, go see who's at the door," Magneto ordered.

Wanda got off the couch and walked down the hall to the door. She opened it slowly not quite sure what to expect. Much to her surprise she found a FedEx guy standing on the other side.

"The name's Merf, you the lady of the house?" he asked while standing knee deep in snow in his tight, oversized, brown shorts (I'm assuming Mag's hideout is still at the ski slope.)

"Uh-I guess," Wanda responded, a little off guard, Merf couldn't have been more than 4'11".

"Sign here," said Merf handing Wanda a pen and a clipboard.

Wanda signed still a little shell shocked. Whenever she looked at him all she could picture was a racetrack in a tight red and white spandex suit with a race horse behind him. She smirked a little as he handed her a small, thin package wrapped in plain brown paper and twine, "Thanks."

With that Merf left and Wanda went back inside.

"Who was it?" her twin asked.

"A FedEx guy named Merf."

"What?!" Pietro looked at his sister in confusion.

"He had me sign for this." said Wanda tossing the package to her father, "There's no return address."

Magneto removed the paper to find a CD case with a yellow sticky tab on it that read 'Play Me'.

Magneto raised a platinum eyebrow, "Anyone up for a movie?"

----------------

DING DONG! The doorbell at the institute rang.

"I'll get it!" yelled Kitty leaping up from the couch.

She sprinted to the door and threw it open to find-

"The name's Merf, sign here please," he said handing Kitty a clipboard. "Uh, like thanks," said Kitty when Merf handed her a package nearly identical to the one he had handed Wanda.

"The things a jockey has to do in the off season," muttered Merf as he stalked back to the FedEx truck.

"What was that about?" asked Logan walking into the main hall.

"I don't know. He had me sign for this," said Kitty holding up the small package.

Wolverine made quick work of the paper to find a CD case with a sticky note that read 'Play Me'.

"What the?" Wolverine looked at Kitty.

"I'll go see if anyone is up for a movie," said Kitty before phasing through a wall.

Within five minutes everyone, minus Rogue of course, was sitting the commons room, just as over at Magneto's.

Mag's and Wolverine popped the disks in at the same time.

(A.N: The two teams are watching the movie at the same time, but I'm going to switch back and forth between the groups to give you their reactions to what they see. Just bare with me on this, I'm going to make it a un-confusing as possible, but if you feel in the dark at some point tell me in a review and I'll try and fix it. It's complicated, but I'm the one doing all the work, so just sit tight.)

At first there was a shaky image of a luxurious, burgundy couch upholstered (did I spell this right?) in a heavy tapestry like cloth, then it evened out. Then two people sat down, a man and a woman. The man looked to be about 21 or 22 and the woman about 20. The man had light brown hair, hazel eyes and Gambit's build only maybe an inch or two taller. The woman had a medium sized build, blues eyes and dirty blonde hair and was about 3 or 4 inches shorter than the man. They were dressed casually.

"You're prob'ly wonderin' who we are." said the man, "I suppose de beginnin' is de best place for introductions. I'm Henri (I believe this would pronounced 'On-ree' and I'm pretty sure this character does exist in the comics if I am correct in my research, please correct me if I'm wrong.), Gambit's older brother. And dis is Madeline (Ok, I made this character up I know Belle has an older brother, but I don't know about any other sibs), Belladonna's older sister, don't worry we'll get to Belle later."

"Dis is a reality documentary of what went on dis past week wid Rogue," explained Madeline, "Henri and I are in a photography course in college and we needed a topic to do our movie on."

"When we first were paired together we were rather-" Henri trailed off.

"Peeved," offered Madeline, "don' worry we'll explain later."

"Exactly, Mads. So we needed a topic and den Remy an' Rogue fell into our laps."

"We realize you need to punish dem, but who can punish dem better den us, old siblings?" said Mads with a wicked smile.

"I tink you mean embarrass," said Henri smiling like the Cheshire Cat.
