Chapter 8: The Cajun Conundrum
The next day Wanda was in the commons room, pacing in front of the phone. She hadn't gotten a hold of Henri (On-ree), only left a message on his voice mail. Wanda just hoped he called soon because she was at her wits end with Gambit.
RING!-RING!
Wanda pounced on the phone, "Hello?-Kitty?!-Uh ya, he's right here," she covered the receiver with her hand and shouted, "PETEY!"
Colossus came down the with his sketch book under his arm, "Da?" he asked.
"Kitty's on the phone," said Wanda, "and make it fast!-I'm expecting a call!"
"BANG!-BANG!-BANG!
"Hold that thought," said Wanda as she handed the phone to Petey the phone and went to answer the door.
Piotr lifted the phone to his ear, "Katya?-Da, he's still in his room. How is Rogue?-That bad?!"
-------------
Wanda walked down the hall muttering to herself, "What a time for Merf to show up!" (Hotel Management ref.)
She threw the door open and much to her surprise rather then seeing the familiar sight of a half frozen and extremely pissed FedEx guy, she saw-
"Henri? Mads? Belle?!" needless to say Wanda was shocked, "What are you doing here?"
"It's a lon' story," said Henri.
"I've got time," said Wanda leaning against the door frame.
"Could we discuss dis inside befo' my tits crack off?!" asked Mads.
"Oh, sure-sorry," said Wanda who up until now forget the three standing in front her were up to their knees in snow.
SLAM!
Wanda dropped the door as a cold gust of wind threatened to invade the warmth of the hallway.
"Funny," said Henri as he brushed the snow off of his shoes, "I din' think silicon could freeze.
"You son'bitch!" yelled Mads as she proceeded to kick Henri in the shin.
"Serves you right fo' makin' shit up!" declared Mads with a cocky smile.
"De two o' you," said an exasperated Belle as she stared down the hall.
-------------
It didn't take much to realize the new comers were attracting a lot off attention when they sat down in the commons room.
"Uh-Katya, I have to go," said Piotr as he placed the the phone back on the receiver.
Pyro did a double take, "You're the ones from the movie, right?"
"Uh-oui," said Henri.
"That's one bitchin' couch you have, Mate," said St. John.
"Tanks-I tink," said Henri more than a little weirded out.
Before long all the Acolytes, minus Remy of course, were assembled in the commons room.
"Explain this to me one more time!" said Magneto in a dangerous tone as she glared at his daughter.
"Well, when you left last night I called the operator and got Henri's cell phone number and left a message on his voice mail to call me back." said Wanda.
"So, why are they here?!" demanded her father.
"Um-" Wanda looked over to the three on the couch.
"It's like this," said Mads looking to Henri.
"Uh-right," said Henri hesitantly, "When I got Wanda's call yest'day mon pere (my father) and Tante Matie were in de room. Remy does something like dis after ev'ry break up. And while mon pere jus' roll his eyes an' goes back t' work when Remy refuses to come out of his room, but Tante Matie always plays into it."
"Lon' story short," said Belle sarcastically, "Jean-Luc an' Tante Matie got into a fight-obviously Tante Matie won-Dat's why were here!"
"So," said Henri, "I go in, check on Remy, take de Polaroid, go back to New Owlins, show Tante Matie an' ev'rybody's happy." He produced a Polaroid from his duffle bag.
"Sounds like a plan," said Mystique crossing her arms and looking toward Magneto.
"First door on the left," said Magneto gesturing to the hall.
"Merci," said Henri as he rose from the couch with the camera and headed down the hall.
5 minutes later Henri came back down the hall and picked up his duffle bag.
"Time to go?" asked Mads.
"Non-time to unpack," Henri corrected her.
"QUOI?!" Belle jumped to her feet.
"Is it really dat bad?!" asked Mads.
"I couldn't even get 'im to look at me," said Henri, "an' you know what dat means." He looked directly at Belle.
"Damage control," grumbled Belle crossing her arms.
"Well, while you two are doin' dat," said Mads pulling her sweatshirt cuff back to reveal a phone number.
"De hell is dat?!" asked Belle grabbing her younger sister's arm.
"'meber when we were searched by airport security-Ever wonder why it took over an hour?" asked Mads as innocently as possible.
"Why does dat not surprise me?" Belle rolled her eyes and lifter her duffle bag.
"Colossus, show them to their rooms," ordered Magneto.
"Here, I'll take that," said Piotr as Belle handled him one of the duffle bags.
THUNK!-Colossus arm went straight down and the bag hit the floor, "What the- ?!"
"Dat's probl'y Belle's make-up case," said Henri sarcastically.
"Firstly," said Belle-
POW!-she gave Henri a dead arm.
"AH!" exclaimed Henri in an incredible amount of pain.
"Secondly," Belle continued, "It's not mine, it's Mads," she said looking at her sister.
Everyone was staring at Mads.
"Quoi?" asked Mads, "I brought some 'extra entertainment' jus' incase we 'ad to stay."
"'Extra entertainment'?" Mystique raised an eyebrow.
"Oui," said Mads, "De photo album from de movie, which by de way we got an 'A' on."
-------------
That's right not only is Remy's family back, but also the illusive photo album and all the embarrassing stories of Remy's past-MWAHAHAHA!
