Chapter 11: The Plan
Needless to say Rogue needed to be sedated, Logan needed an icepack and Remy needed to eat something before he passed out again.
Neither teen was in any condition to talk by the end of the afternoon.
So after a turkey and cheese with mayo on rye Hank checked Remy's gashes one last time then let Magneto take him home.
-------------
Magneto, Mystique, Piotr, Mads, Henri and Belle had taken Gambit to Xavier's, while Creed had left earlier that morning to pull a job in Connecticut. Now you all know what that means (author shudders) John and Wanda were home alone-ALL AFTERNOON!
*squeak*-The doorknob gave small whine as Magneto used his powers to open it.
Once in side it was quiet-too quiet. They all looked at each other and against their better judgment continued down the hall to the threshold of the commons room. Just as they were about to enter they heard a sound that could have made even Sabertooth turn and run the other way-
"Ha-Ha, I have you now Cat Woman!" yelled St. John in an Australian accent.
"You'll never catch me, Batman!" shouted Wanda, "because I'll catch you first."
Wanda ran into the commons room in a full blown cat woman outfit, including the whip with St. John bounding in behind her dressed as none other than the Dark Knight himself.
"Is that so?" asked the faux Caped Crusader finally catching up.
"Yes, it is," said Wanda as she wrapped the whip around his shoulders and pulled him down to the floor on top of her.
*Ahem!*-Magneto cleared his throat.
Both John and Wanda looked up at the same time.
"DAD?!" exclaimed Wanda, "how long have you been there?"
"Long enough-'Cat Woman'. Now if you wish to keep all of your nine live in tact I suggest you head towards your room. And that goes double for you- 'Batman'," said Magneto glaring a Pyro.
"Point taken," said Wanda.
"Back to the Batcave it is," said Py quickly.
The two teen terrors beat a hasty retreat back to their separate rooms.
"Now what?" asked Henri who was trying to stabilize his only somewhat conscious brother-Damn Hank and his precious pain killers.
"Now Gambit is going to lay down in my office where I can keep watch over him, while I go through some ancient documents and all of you come up with a plan."
"I tink we can handle dat," said Belle confidently.
And so after getting Remy situated on the couch in Magneto's office everyone including Wanda and John who snuck out of their rooms still in costume of course!, while Magneto and Mystique tended to Gambit.
"Vhat are ve going to do, Comrades?" asked Colossus miserably.
"I don' know," said Mads flipping through the photo album.
"Ideas anyone?!" asked Henri frantically.
"How 'bout you ask de two playin' tonsil hockey?" asked Belle shooting a death glare towards Wanda and St. John who were right in the middle of a very involved-shall we say-make out session.
"I vouldn't," warned Piotr, "they have a tendency to attack whoever interrupts them."
Mads chuckled a little as she looked at the photo album.
"How can you laugh at time like dis?!" asked Henri rather horrified.
"I was jus' lookin' back at de time when Rem busted Julian (Belle and Mads older brother) fo' t'rowin' dat rave at Dad's summa 'ome in de country. I'll never forget Rem used de PA system in Jean-Luc's office at de restaurant to bust Jules while Jean-Luc an' Dad were in de middle of negotiations."
"Damn, Magnus beat him so bad he was limpin' fo' a week," laughed Henri.
"Dat's it!" exclaimed Mads triumphantly leaping to her feet.
"Quoi?" asked Mads, "You fin'lly figured out how Rogue can get Remy an' Julian in bed fo' a manage toi (a threesome, I doubt I spelled that right)?"
SWAT!-Belle smacked her little sister up side the head.
"De hell de matta wid you?!" scolded Belle.
"Ow!" yelped Mads.
"Rogue isn't Julian's type!" said Belle sternly.
"Type?" Colossus had never heard the word used in such a context.
"Ya, you know type like Julian only likes size 0 blondes with double D's." Mads explained.
Now Piotr was only even more confused, what did numbers and letters have to do with women?! He would just have to ask Katya later.
"Anyway you said somet'ing about a plan?" Henri inquired.
"Oh, oui," said Belle, "we can use de PA system at de school. All you have to do is lure Remy to de principal's office, den turn on de intercom widout him knowin' an' jus start talkin' about Rogue."
"What about de principal?" asked Mads.
"I tink we can arrange a little distraction, don' you?" said her older sister with a smirk.
"I suppose it could, in t'eory, work," said Henri skeptically.
"What do you mean 'in t'eory'?! It's foolproof!" insisted Belle, "Take it o' leave it!"
"I'll take it on one condition," said Henri.
"Oh, really an' what's that?" asked Belle.
"We use walkie-talkies an' code names," said Henri.
"Ok, technically dat's two conditions, mais (but) since I'm in a good mood I'll agree to your terms."
"Bon (Good)," said Henri, "Now to work out de details."

Meanwhile in Magneto's office-
Remy was completely buried under a comforter and sound a sleep on his boss' couch and totally oblivious to what was happening in the commons room let alone the room he was in.
Don't get me wrong now, everything had started out innocently enough with Magneto sorting through various bills and loose paper on his desk while Mystique filed her nails as she sat on another couch, opposite the one Remy was a sleep on. As the Master of Magnetism made his way through the mountains of paperwork he came across one of Wanda's metal barrettes. He picked it up and looked at it-
"Raven, where did I go wrong?" he asked as he made the small metal object float about an inch above his palm.
"I don't know, some kids are harder than others," said Mystique focusing intently on one nail in particular as she thought, "Probably when you put her in an insane asylum!"
"I never had this kind of disobedience from Pietro," said Magneto still looking at the object floating above his hand.
"Well, boys and girls are different," said Mystique dismissively as she moved on to the next nail-"Brownnoser," she thought to herself.
"Do you think I've been too hard on her?" he asked.
"Huh?" Mystique looked up.
"With the whole Pyro incident I mean."
"She's a teenager she needs someone to discipline her and besides it's not as if you have no control in the relationship, you are Pyro's boss," said Mystique.
"He's probably banging her back out as we speak," she thought.
"I suppose," said Magneto, "I guess I should just be happy she hasn't brought home a human yet."
Mystique grumbled to herself. Kurt had better pray she never find out where his little girlfriend lived! She didn't spend 10 hours in labor just so he could date a human and she was going to make for damn sure he never forgot that!
Magneto sighed and put the barrette down, "How long until Friday?" (he he)
Mystique looked at her watch, "Three days, seven hours and twelve minutes." She said miserably.
"I'm sorry I asked," groaned Magneto.
"Well, considering we both have free time now-" said Mystique with a wicked glint in her eye.
"What about Gambit?" asked Eric shooting a glance over to the unconscious heap on his couch.
Mystique threw the file over her shoulder, "We'll just be quiet," she assured him as she walked up to the desk chair and straddled his hips.
-------------
Back it the kitchen-
"It's perfect!" exclaimed Henri.
"Now all we 'ave ta do is pray Remy doesn't screw it up some'ow," said Mads.
"Make sure to 'ave 'im dere on time!" Belle warned Henri.
"Don' worry he'll be dere if I 'ave to drag 'im kickin' an' sreamin'!" declared Henri.
