Ok, I put new song lyrics in here, I was going for comedy ok?? It doesn't make sense I know but still its funny to me. I'm sorry for ripping off Lady Trunks. I had read her song fic before and I wanted to use it. I jsut couldn't remeber that she was that one that wrote it so I couldn't give her credit. But I changed it, so I hope its ok!! I'm very sorry!!

The sequel to Dreams of the Wind. The title might not make much sense now, but hopefully it will soon!

Quick As Silver Part 2

The mansion.......

Everyone except Pietro was in the cafeteria eating their evening meal. Rogue was beginning to worry. 'He has to know Ah wasn't mad earlier. Well, maybe a lil mad. But the lil bugger should have known to stay out of mah stuff. But still its not like him to miss dinner.' At about that time the lights flickered out. "Like, what's going on?" Kitty asked into the darkness. Just then the lights flared to life, and standing in the middle of the X-table with a microphone was Pietro.
Music began to play in the background, softly at first then slowly getting louder. Pietro flashed Rogue a smile and began to sing:

I'm just a simple girl In a high-tech digital world I really try to understand All the powers that rule this land They say Miss J's big butt is boss Kate Moss can't find a job In a world of post-modern fad What was good now is bad It's not hard to understand Just follow this simple plan

Pietro made a big show of knelling in front of Rogue.
Follow your heart Your intuition It will lead you in the right direction Let go of your mind Your intuition It's easy to find Just follow your heart, baby

Pietro grabbed Rogue's hand, kissing it and pulling her out of her seat.
You look at me but you're not quite sure Am I it or could you get more? You learn cool from magazines You learn love from Charlie Sheen If you want me let me know I promise I won't say no

Pietro dropped her hand, brushing a kiss against her cheek, before starting to make his way around the entire
Cafeteria.
Follow your heart Your intuition It will lead you in the right direction Let go of your mind Your intuition It's easy to find Just follow your heart, baby

He dramatically jumped back up onto the table.
You got something that you want me to sell? Sell your sin, just cash in You got something that you want me to tell? You'll love me, wait and see If you want me Don't play games I promise it won't be in vain

He walked to the center and turned to the crowd.
Follow your heart Your intuition It will lead you in the right direction Let go of your mind Your intuition It's easy to find Just follow your heart, baby

Pietro strutted around the table before Knelling in front of Rogue again.

And the music died down. The whole cafeteria was quiet waiting for Rogue's reaction. She finally mumbled, "All Ah did was hide a couple of damn Pixie Stixs from the boy." She looked at Pietro and practically screamed, "Now will you get off the damn table before Ah come up there and drag you off mahself." Pietro jumped down and wrapped his arms around Rogue. "Aww, you know you love me Sweet Cheeks." And he reached around and pinched her butt.
"PIETRO" Rogue screamed as she pushed him away. The whole cafeteria burst into laughter. Even the Professor. Evan spoke up, "Hey Maximoff! You gonna add a karaoke competition to along with game night?" Pietro glared at him, "You just wish you had moves like this Daniels." He twirled Rogue around and dipped her low over his arm. Then he leaned down and kissed her in front of everybody. When he pulled away and straightened her up she was blushing.
Dinner continued on as usual, and after a while people began to leave the room. First went Kitty and Lance. On their way to a movie. Then Scott, Jean, and Evan left. The two red heads were catching a movie to, they were dropping Evan off since he was spending the night with a skateboarding buddy in town. After a while the Professor, Storm, and Dr. McCoy left. They always went into town on Saturday nights. Some sort of poetry reading thing at a local coffee shop. Not long after they left Logan went to. Getting on his bike and heading for a bar. That left Rogue and Pietro sitting in the cafteria by themselves as Pietro finished his meal. The cook had even given him an extra piece of chocolate cake for his "outstanding dinner theater."
After Pietro finished off his cake he winked at Rogue. "Hey babe. How about a rematch? My M & M's , your Pixie Stix, winner takes all?" His was wagging his eyebrows suggestively. That was never a good thing, but Rogue agreed to the challenge. The easiest way to find out what he was up to was to play along.
Pietro pulled all of the couch pillows onto the floor to make themselves a place to sit while Rogue loaded the Playstation. It wasn't long until Pietro was cursing under his breath because Rogue had beaten him again. Pietro pouted and fell back on the pillows staring at the ceiling. Rogue leaned over him. "I see the pout, but you haven't accused me of cheating yet. What's wrong?" Before she knew what hit her Pietro grabbed Rogue and flipped over on top of her. "Wounded pride and M & M's are a high price for me to pay, but it's all worth it to get you in a position like this."
Rogue smirked. She knew he had been up to something, so she decided to play alone. Pietro began to kiss his way down her neck. "You know, you're really good at that game. I could use someone like you on my staff." His hands were working their way underneath her shirt. Rogue chuckled, "I'm flattered, but my hands aren't going anywhere near you staff." (Charlie's Angels) The sad look on his face made her chuckle. She brought her leg up around in a move Logan had shown her and regained her position on top. "At least, not yet that is." She said with a wink. Moving faster then the human eye, or any other eye for that matter, could see Pietro scooped Rogue up in his arms and ran to his room, locking the door behind him.

Outside the Mansion......

A shadowy figure was hidden in the trees, watching as the institute was slowly evacuated. Gleaming white teeth flashed underneath a pair of red on black eyes. 'Dis be easier then Remy thought,' the figure thought to himself. 'In and out. Not even de Wolverine will know I been der.' As the gates closed behind the final resident Gambit readied his bow staff. In one fluid motion he was up and over the fence, and making his way through the wooded area towards the mansion. He stealthily made his way up to a second story balcony and picked the lock on the sliding glass door.
His first objective was to find the room that Pietro occupied. Silently running through the halls, using the shadows as cover should anyone turn the corner, Remy located the door with Pietro's name on it. He was reaching for his lock pick when he heard muffled voices inside. Gambit back tracked to the air vent at the far end of the hall and hoisted himself up into it. He made his way back to the room without making a sound. Peering through the vent he witnessed a surprising sight.
It was his belle. The one from the battle. And she was in bed with, Merde that was Magneto's brat. Remy closed his eyes, he couldn't bare to watch. He had always been a sucker for a pretty face, he knew that. But why did the sight of this girl with another man bother him so much? He heard their whispered words through the vent. 'So the girl's name is Rogue huh?' he thought as he crawled his way out of the vent. When he reached the hallway something dawned on him. Magneto had made all of the Acolytes memorize what files he had collected on the X-Men. The girl labeled Rogue was suppose to be unable to touch. If Magneto's files were accurate, how could Pietro be making love to said girl right now?
Gambit shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. This was not the time or the place. He would worry about it later. Instead of heading to the first floor elevator access, Gambit made his way upstairs. From the third floor he should be able to enter the elevator shaft and in doing so get to the basement without using the elevator itself.
Within two minutes flat, Gambit was standing in the basement corridor. He smirked to himself, 'Two minutes? Gambit hadn't lost his touch no?' Frowning he quickly made his way to the first door he saw, trying to shake the thoughts of touching the beautiful girl upstairs that had just made themselves known in his brain. The room he entered was the watch tower to the Danger room. He could easily tap into the computer and copy all the data on their training, but he didn't.
He didn't like Magneto. The only reason he worked for him was because he had some dirt on him from his past. He hadn't been instructed to get information on any X-Man but Pietro, so he left the room, computer files intact. Making his way down the hall he noticed a door that was labeled 'Med Lab.' Any information concerning Pietro would be kept in there.
Gambit easily picked the lock and let himself in. Thankfully the computer was turned on. 'These must not care about safe guarding and pass wording their information from each other,' Remy thought to himself. 'I bet they think this place is safe against infiltration. Oh well, that just makes it easier for me.' Remy sat at the computer pulling up all of the files registered to Pietro. There were quite a few which surprised him. He silently waited as copies were made.
The last thing he did before exiting was walk into the big steel freezer. Pulling his trench coat tight to keep out the chill Gambit searched for the samples of Pietro's blood they must have taken. When he found them he grimaced. They were next to Rogue's blood samples. In fact, the two sets of samples shared a tray. Taking one of Pietro's containers he turned to leave, but turned back and also took one of Rogue's blood samples on an impulse.
With the information he had come for safely stored in the many pockets of his coat Remy made his exit. Climbing up the elevator shaft and making his way to the balcony. Before closing and relocking the door he sent one last look in the direction of Pietro's room. His eyes were filled with sadness and some other unreadable emotion. Underneath the shadow of darkness Gambit left the mansion as silently and as stealthily as he had come. With no one aware of his presence.
