Chapter Twelve: Party Crasher

"Okay, I'm done." Kitty phased out of the bathroom door, combing her hair with her fingers. She patted the light blue faded baggy jeans and looked up. Pietro was once again looking out the door. She walked over and phased her head through his stomach.
"Whoa geez Pryde!" he shouted.
She turned her head up to him. "What? I had to see you know."
Pietro moved back into the room as Kitty phased out and sat on the bed. She yawned and glanced over at the alarm clock.
"It's midnight."
"You tired?"
Kitty looked to him and found him looking in the mirror. Suddenly, another bang was heard on the wall where they last heard it. Kitty shot up, clenching her fist. Pietro walked over to the door and turned back to her.
"Wanna go check?"
She nodded and walked over to him. As Pietro was about to go out the door, she grabbed his shoulder making him turn to her.
"I know a shortcut."
Kitty grabbed Pietro's hand gently and walked over to the wall. She ran through, pulling Pietro behind her. They ended up in another room and stopped in their tracks before they could move again.
"R-Rogue? Remy? You guys-"
Pietro leaned against the wall as Kitty watched Rogue pull on her silk see through shirt. After she pulled up her tank top sleeve, she walked over to the mirror to fix her hair.
"Did you guys have fun?" asked Pietro with a wide grin.
Rogue shot him an evil look through the mirror. "Shut up."
"Oh come on Rogue, admit it."
She threw the brush towards the back of the room as she glanced over to Remy who was sleeping quietly. Rogue couldn't help but snicker.
"So whut happened?"
Kitty and Pietro exchanged glances and gave her a small smile. "Oh nothing. We just made up and all."
Rogue walked over to Kitty for a moment then over to Pietro. She grinned and pulled his cheek as he howled in pain.
"Hey! That's my money maker!! No touching!" he shouted as he sped over to the other side of the room.
Kitty giggled a bit until Rogue walked back over to her.
"Ah could sware yuh two were not only makin' up. But makin' out!"
Kitty glanced over to Pietro again and saw him rubbing his cheek. She walked over and moved his hand away.
"Geez Rogue! How hard did you like, pinch him?"
Rogue planted her hands on her hips and shifted sides. "Pretty hard."
Suddenly, screams and shouts were heard in the main room where everyone was dancing. Rogue shrugged and headed out as Pietro and Kitty followed out.

Hopping around the lights and stage was Sabertooth, seeming pretty angry. He looked down and saw Kitty looking up in fear following Pietro around. What bothered him most was when he saw a quick glance of their hands holding as they raced through the screaming crowds.

"Pietro! Slow down!" screamed Kitty as she tried not to run into people.
Pietro had no time to slow down. Sabertooth definitely wasn't allowed to be in here and knowing Scott and the other X-Men, they'd want to mess up the party just to get rid of him. Kitty tried to keep up with Pietro as he continued to race past until she tripped and fell straight to the ground. Her arm stung with pain with she saw a broken glass below her. She sat up and gripped her arm tight. Kitty looked up and realized Pietro was no where in the crowd. She looked down and saw her bleeding. She grew weakened and tried to stay awake.

Rogue raced back into the room where Remy was sleeping. When she got in, he was snoring like there was no tomorrow. Rogue leaped onto the bed and shook him violently.
"Remy! Wake up! We got trouble!"
He shot up and rubbed his eyes to focus. When his red demon like eyes met Rogue's gray eyes, he smiled then yawned.
"Hmmm? What's wrong Chere'? You don't look very happy."
"No shit Ah'm not happy! Sabertooth's out there runnin' a muck!"
Remy stood up and took out a deck of cards then began shuffling them. Rogue began to panic. (How can he be so calm at a time like this?!!) He began to walk out the door as Rogue followed him out.

"Kitty! Kitty!?" Pietro gritted his teeth impatiently. He finally found out he had lost Kitty in the crowd. Groups of couples raced around, trying to find a way outside of the mansion.
"Dammit. Where is she?!"
Pietro raced back, trying to look through the flashing neon lights to find her. As he took another step, he heard something crunching under his shoe. Pietro looked down and saw Kitty lying on the ground fainted. He crouched down and lifted her shoulders and head up then noticed she was bleeding on her arm from the broken glass.
"Quicksilver."
Pietro turned and saw Sabertooth lifting a fist, ready to knock him down. When he shot out to get him, Pietro moved aside with Kitty.
"You're just too slow."
Sabertooth, after coming back from his punch, quickly went down and clawed Pietro's leg. He knew he was off guard. Pietro stumbled a bit and grinned.
"You think that's gonna stop me?"
Rogue came up behind Pietro and pulled him away as he carried Kitty.
"Let's get goin' to the cabins! We'll be safer there!"

Outside, Remy waited for Rogue and the others to get out as he continued to shuffle his cards quickly. When he saw Pietro racing out with Rogue behind him, Remy picked up a card randomly from the deck then charged it up.
"Hmmm, a queen of spades?" He turned to Pietro and Rogue. He noticed Kitty was unconscious in his arms. "Is she gonna be alright?"
Pietro quickly nodded. "We're gonna get going."
When Pietro sped off, Rogue turned to Remy.
"Get going! Remy will meet you dere."
Rogue felt tears stinging her eyes for some reason.
"Remy, no, come with us. Ah don't want yuh here so then yuh can get hurt."
The Cajun turned to Rogue and threw the card off to the side as it exploded. He grabbed one of Rogue's gloved hands and looked at her straight in the eye.
"Chere', don't worry 'bout Remy."
Remy spreaded out the cards like a fan and showed them to Rogue, gesturing for her to choose one. She quickly chose one and held it tight with her cold gloved fingers.
"Queen of hearts." She mumbled.
Remy smiled and faced the mansion. No one else was coming out except for the shocks and lights flashing around. Rogue smiled then raced off with the card he had given her. He began shuffling the cards once more, charging the whole deck as it glowed a bright orange red color.
"Dis is dedicated to you Chere'!"

Silly Remy. Hopefully he will NOT make the cards explode while they're in his hands!! But wait.. I control the story. I can make Remy die if I want to!! But don't worry, I won't. I promise!!
