Chapter 2: When it rains it Pours
It was noon. Wolverine and Sabertooth had dropped them off at 4 am. That was only 7 hours earlier. In that reasonably short time they had not only lost the supplies while crossing a river, gotten off course twice, walked through a field of poison ivy and into a bees' hive, but now they had come face to face with a hungry bobcat.
And wouldn't you know they were trapped on a cliff over a raging river complete with white water rapids.
"Remiahnd me ta kill Logan if we live through this!" said Rogue.
"I'll like help you," said Kitty.
"An' Gambit gon' watch!"
"Guess that means we get to kill Sabertooth, Mates," said Pyro looking at Piotr and Wanda.
"Oh, no," said Wanda, "I'm going to kill Magneto for this!"
They were able to fend off the cat but in the process they loosened the rock they were standing on.
"This won't hold us much longer!" said St. John.
"Like what now?" asked Kitty.
"Jump!" ordered Rogue.
"In to the river?!" yelled Kitty.
"Got any better ideas?" asked Rogue.
"N-N-No," said Kitty trembling at the thought of jumping from a cliff, "Well here goes-"
She jumped and landed safely in the water. Colossus soon followed along with Wanda.
"I wish I could jump like that, Mate," said St. John.
"Wish granted, mon ami," said Gambit as he pushed John over the edge. Then he took Rogue in his arms and leapt from the teetering ledge.
They were washed at least three miles down river.
Sitting on the grassy bank of the river they wrung themselves out.
"Katya, are you alright?" asked Piotr.
"Ya, I'm ok. Like was that a rush or what?" asked Kitty as she adjusted her pony tale.
"Dat was some scary shit!" declared Remy.
"The important part is we're all alright," said Rogue.
"Who are you kidding?!" asked Wanda, "We all almost died back there!"
"She-er-Wanda's got a point." said Pyro, "This situation can't get any worse."
(Ok people, we all know when someone says that it always gets worse. So without further ado-)
KRACK-BOOM!-The sky unzipped and rain fell in long, hard sheets.
"No fuckin' way," said Rogue miserably.
"Well at least we can't get any wetter," said Kitty in her usual perky tone.
"Shove it!" said Rogue.
-------------
The tired teens eventually found a cave and started a fire. They decided to stay there and wait out the storm.
When the fire died down Kitty and Colossus went to go find more wood-that was over a half hour ago.
"That's it, c'mon Remy, lets go fiahnd some more wood. Gawd only knows when we'll see Kitty or Colossus again. He's probably bangin' her brains out." said Rogue rising to her feet.
"Right behind you, Chere," said Gambit.
Once Remy and Rogue were out of sight Wanda shook out her sweatshirt. Leaves cascaded all over the cave floor.
John raised an eyebrow.
"I thought they'd never leave," said Wanda.
"What's with the leaves?" asked John.
"We're going to play a game." said Wanda as she took off her shirt and bra, "It's called: Adam and Evil."
-------------
Meanwhile the rain had tapered off a bit, Remy and Rogue stood in a small clearing collecting twigs that weren't soaked through.
Rogue stood up and looked over at Remy, "We need to talk-"
(Here it is folks the moment you've all been dreading-Get your tissues ready!-You have been warned!)
"Quoi, Cher?" asked Remy standing up.
"We need to cool it."
"Remy not to sure he understand."
"It's our fault-If we hadn't been in everyone's faces about our relationship we wouldn't be here."
"Cher-"
"No, hear me out." The rain masked Rogue's tears, "We all could have diahed earlier today and it would have been mah fault because Ah asked you ta help me and ya did."
"Dat's not yo fault if someone died, Chere," said Gambit, "Fuzzy an' Kitty- Cat were de one's who left us here ta rot!"
"No, Logan has every riaght ta be mad afta that fight Ah picked with him (Hotel Management ref.)"
"Non, Cher, Wolvie just can't take a joke dat's all," insisted the Cajun with a faux grin.
"Still, it's probably best to lay low fer awhile. Ah mean none of this would have happened if we were Scott and Jean," just their names left a bad taste in Rogue's mouth.
"Does (long 'o') two gonna die virgins, Cher, after really long, really dull lives!" argued Remy.
"Yer riaght, but they'll always have everyone else's approval-We went to far, ya know that."
"Oui, but since when does Cher care?" asked Remy who was beginning yo loose his composure.
"Since it put other people than us in real danger-Look around you were in the middle of nowhere! If someone was seriously injured they would be cold (dead) before any form of paramedic could even get out here. You know Ah'm right!"
"Oui, Remy knows. So, how long we gon' 'cool it'?"
"Ah don't know," said Rogue wrapping her arms around her torso, "Ah don't know."
-------------
Well there you have it-but fear not we all know it's not forever. Sure things will get bad for a little while, but all will be mended by the finale. When have I let you down?
More to come-MWAHAHAHAH!
