Bobby heard a scream. It was a kind of high pitched scream he knew had to belong to none other than Amara Aquilla. He ran toward the noise, but couldn't find her. He heard the sounds of hesitation, and turned the corner. What he saw would stick in his mind forever. Amara, writhing on the ground in pain, clutching a bloody leg. He ran up to her. "Amara? Can you hear me? You have to calm down!" He said to her.

She was screeching. Bobby had no clue what to do, but he kew that fat lug had better run. Now. He was surprised she had held out this long without her powers going psycho, but now, the ground around them seemed to be melting. He sort of wished there was something he could do to help, so he created an ice body-cast, so she couldn't move from her current position. He had no idea what he was doing and hoped he wasn't hurting her by picking her up now.

He fell, weighted down by both Amara and the ice. Blob took her from him. "Where to?" He asked. Bobby thought for a moment, and replied "We have to find Logan and Storm." But they didn't have to look very long. As it turned out, Logan and Storm had been following her screams.

Logan looked at the ice-bound princess and nodded quickly. "Bring her to the jet. Hank might be able to save her." Then he looked at Blob. "Give her here, I'll take it from this point." And Blob complied.

(No accents in this segment, I'm only half awake, and can't concenrate to write them.)

Back at the mansion, everyone was a nervous wreck. Everyone knew their lines, but they weren't quite sure about their acting, or maybe even how they looked. Rogue was in fact wearing a dress, and was shaking so bad she looked ready to cry. It was just before dress rehearsal, backstage, and Jamie was keeping everyone in order.

"Don't worry, you'll do fine!" Remy told Rogue. She was sitting, shaking like the proverbial leaf, and Remy was trying to calm her down. "You want the truth?" She asked, looking at him. Into his eyes.

"Every time." He said casually, placing a hand on her shoulder and sitting next to him. "Well, it's not really y acting that's botherig me. It's more the fact that, what if the attacker strikes again? What if they do during the play and hurt innocent bystandards? What then?" She asked, nervously.

Remy looked her in the eyes. "Rogue, they won't attack. And I promise if they do, I will hunt them down, and make every waking moment for them a living hell." He said all this surely, and calmly. Rogue couldn't help but trust him.

A/N: I didn't like the number in my screen name, so I changed it. As you can see, I am now "The Hell Brat". Anyway, sorry for the not updating thing, I had written myself into a corner, until I remembered to put Bobby to use. *grins* REVIEW!
