THANKS a lot guys, for reviewing my story; it just encourages me to do my work better than ever! Yeah one more thing, it may take a while for me to upload some of the chapters because you know writing takes time and since I'm doing two stories at a time it may take a while. Another thing, that there's a little teeny weeny cursing.
Chapter 2:Trouble in the NYC…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolverine and Gambit had just ordered drinks and were now sitting on the barstools; Gambit the Cajun charmer was already surrounded by flock of girls and was obviously flirting with them. However Logan on the other hand obviously seemed to be annoyed by the crowded girls and decided to take one of the seats near the corner of the club. "Damn this Cajun…" Came a slow gruff as he went to the specified position.
*****
Without any caring, Rogue entered the bar and moved along the dancing people in the dim, dark light of the cloud. She was fortunate enough that people didn't notice her collar, either it was the new technology that people couldn't recognize the broad metal *necklace* she was wearing, or it was that people were too busy into their own fun filled lives dancing all around in the dark environment of the club not even bothering to see what was going on around them.
*Ah hope people don' recognize meh…its been a tough day. Heck mah whole life has been tough! Well ah think ah should come down heah sugah, haven't ah created enough problems for the day?*
She then found an empty seat near a tall guy with auburn hair and and went there to pick it up.
"Damn, dis be too hot…" With that he took off his brown trench coat and slid it behind him, which fell to the floor near rogue's foot. He didn't notice and busied himself talking to the blonde with her hands in his.
When rogue saw that the handsome guy wouldn't pay attention to any thing except for the blonde girl sitting next to him and his back was already facing her, she decided to take advantage of the moment. She slowly reached to the floor and took the trench coat in her hands…*hmm, this maight come in handy…hope he don't notice it…ah could cover this damn collar with this thang.*
She quietly grabbed the trench coat and walked up straight to the other corner of the bar. As she passed pass the weird hairdo, Wolverine became cautious due to his inability of picking up scents, as he smelled a strange scent in the surroundings. Instantly his sight caught a glimpse of a girl with an unusual streak of white hair in the front but something else was familiar about her. *That looks like gumbo's trench coat. But then she also had his scent on her. *That's definitely gumbo's trench coat. * He got up from his seat and went up to gambit…who was continuously flirting with the blonde.
He took gambit by his T-shirt's collar and asked with a growl. "Hey Cajun, I think ya have a trench coat with ya which ya always carry, where is it?"
Gambit grinned. "What? Gambit jus' left it……." He turned around to see but it wasn't there. "Damn Mon'ami, Gambit didn' know people steal cothes nowadays…he 'tink it's been a pretty long time since gambit last went on a stealin' mission, neh?"
When Logan picked up the same scent, which he had picked up first, he became a little curious about the strange little thing that just happened. "We've got a problem gumbo, ya see that person? I've got a strange about this that something ain't right." He pointed to the person whose head was hidden beneath the collar of the trench coat and was walking fast out of the club.
He nodded. "Les' get goin'"
They started walking after her and when she found herself being followed by two strange looking guys, her steps automatically became faster. With that Wolverine and Gambit started walking at a greater pace. She couldn't bear being in the prison for the rest of her life again so she started running and they followed her. Suddenly she realized that she had come to the same place where the man had shouted at her and realized that FOH agents were already there.
Rogue ran straight and found a dark alley at the left side of the side walk and quickly slipped in. Meanwhile when wolverine shed his claws, the friends of humanity started attacking him, gambit on the other hand was fast, and quick, he headed into the empty dark street at his left side which led the way straight where the person was hiding. Quickly and quietly, he made his way to the person and since it was dark, he couldn't see the person's face, before he or she could attack, gambit punched her hard in the face.
"Oomph!" He suddenly came to the realization as the car lights shaded her face bright that the thief was a beautiful femme with white streak in her long auburn hair and huge emerald green eyes. She was heavenly beautiful, just like an angel. Gorgeous long auburn hair with curls at the end and an unusual white strip and bangs in the front. Soft, pink lips curled into a small cry and she fell to the floor, eyes shut closed with her hands on nose and cheek.
"I…I didn't mean t' hurt you…"
She fell to the floor, pushing backwards on the ground, she got up and started to run again but he quickly grasped her left wrist in his hand and turned her towards him with full force and flipped her around so that both his hands formed a ring around her waist. Holding her by the waist as her back was facing his front, he saw the suppression collar from the nape of her neck. Besides it would have been too easy for him to tell because of its broad metal that could be seen easily from over his trench coat. Beast had shown it to him a few days ago and told him that this was the new technology that FOHs could use to harm the mutants in so many ways.
"YOU be a mutant!? Look…girl no need t' be afraid of…Remy's not gonna hurt you." She started kicking and made tremendous efforts to pull out of his tight grasp.
"Uh…let gooooo!" She cried.
He released her as he got a hard blow in the balls and she ran, leaving an angry Cajun. "What de hell?! C'mon girl, we're just tryin' to help you! Come back here!
Her head was now spinning like a football due to the blow she got in the face, She turned to head while running to see if he was still chasing her, instead, she felt severe pain in her right leg.
"Crunchhhh!"
She kicked her leg as hard as she could to get the black German Shepherd away from her, whose perilous, sharp teeth were dug in her calf. Realizing frightfully that a dog had bit her, she started shouting in vain. The FOH agents had left their dogs to pick up senses and traces of the girl. It was just a matter of seconds the dog had bit her, than he ran away barking along the street.
"Aaaaaaaah! You son of a bitch!" She yowled at the dog. A wet and warm liquid spreaded widely all over the leg and wound leaving it all red. She stumbled on to the ground and collapsed.
"Wrong move, Mon' dogie…" Gambit smirked. He had charged his card throwing it to the dog's tail who had bit rogue.
It had only been 5 seconds since she collapsed but she could see the handsome guy over her with hazy eyes. "Didn't gambit tell you not t' run away??" He whispered.
The violet and purple colored bruises on her shapely cheeks made him feel ashamed for punching her that hard. He crouched down near her prone body, slid his arm under her waist carefully, and scooped her up gently into his arms. She looked like a rag doll, so limp in his strong, muscular arms. He was amazed that she was still conscious but he could hear her soft, painful moans with his excellent hearing ability. She now dozed off and floated into a dusky black cloud of darkness…
*****
Wolverine alone had taken care of the few FOHs who were about fifteen to twenty in number. Gambit brought her to his jeep and placed her carefully on the back seat.
"She smells of dogs."
Gambit shook his head slightly at the mess that had taken place in the town half an hour ago and clicked the door shut.
"Let's get goin'…"
To be continued…
