Chapter 1: Wake Up Call
Disclaimer ~ I don't own any of the characters-so far and it pisses me off!- just in case you were wondering.
It was 3:30 am-A.M. PEOPLE!-When Kitty and Rogue received a rude awakening from an uncharacteristically chipper Canadian.
WHAM!!!!
The door to Rogue and Kitty's room flew open.
"MOVE IT!" yelled Logan.
The girls didn't stir.
SKNIT!
RIIIIIIIIIP!
SLASH!
SLIT!
SLICE!
Before the girls knew what happened their bed sheets lay in a jagged pile on the floor.
"GODDAMN IT, LOGAN!" cursed Rogue, "HAVE YA LOST WHAT WAS LEFT OF YER MIAHND?!"
"Ya, Mr. Logan it's like 3:30." complained Kitty.
"Be down in the garage in 10," said Logan walking out the door.
-------------
Over at the Acolytes Creed had woken St. John, Wanda, Remy and Piotr in the same fashion as Wolverine woke the girls. They were all standing in the commons room ½ dead.
"Kitty-cat it be too damn early fo' de games!" warned a weary Remy.
"No game." said Sabertooth heading for the door, "Time to go."
"Go where?" whined Wanda.
"Now that would ruin the surprise," said Creed sarcastically as he motioned for them to head out to the pick-up.
Remy sighed, "Dis bites!"
"You can say that again, Mate," said St. John.
"Da, Comrade," said Piotr.
"I third the statement," said Wanda.
"Quit yer whining and jump in the back!" ordered Creed.
They all knew better than to fight with a man who was wanted in the lower 48 states for murder, arson and God knows what else. Reluctantly they climbed in.
-------------
After thirty minutes of driving the headlights of the two vehicles crossed in a dirt clearing miles from any paved roads.
Once all the kids had lined up in the glow from the headlights Wolverine and Creed explained their mission.
"You have two days to reach Devil's Peak." said Wolverine, "We'll be waiting for you with the X-Jet at sundown on the second day."
"A map, a compass and one bag of supplies-that's it," said Creed dropping a the rations at their feet.
"What no flashlight? Or Matches?!" asked Wanda as she went through the bag.
"Oh right," said Logan as he reached into the passenger's side and pulled out a glass jar with a thin yellow tin cover.
SKNIT!
Wolverine put three slits in the top. Then put it in Rogue's hand.
"What am Ah supposed ta do with this catch fiahflies?!"
"Now yer getting' it," said Wolverine as he and Creed headed back to their vehicles.
"See ya in two days," said Creed half laughing.
"Wait you're like abandoning us?!" yelped Kitty in distress.
Her only answer was the backfiring of both trucks as they drove off into what was left of the night.
"OMG!" yelled Kitty, "THEY LIKE TOTALLY ABANDONED US!"
