Chapter 12: All is Mended
7:30 am-Magneto's lair
The adults were in the kitchen drinking coffee and reading various sections of the paper, while the younger members suited up for what one would assume to be battle. The teens, and I mean all the teens including those from the BOM and the Institute-minus Rogue of course, were totally decked out in camouflage and waterproof mascara (How Much Embarassment Can 2 Mutants Take ref.), checking their equipment i.e. walkie-talkies (What were you expecting a GPS System?! There only teenagers-they're on a budget!)
Henri had just returned From Magneto's office with Remy who was still half asleep-come now, we all know Remy's not a morning person.
"Just stay dere!" Henri propped his brother up against a wall while he got his coat out of the closet.
"You got it, Monsiuer Metalico."
Mystique and Magneto looked at each other in horror, I guess they underestimated the retention of Gambit's subconscious.
Wanda turned up her nose and headed for the door, but not before calling her father a, "Hypocrite!"
Magneto just sighed. He knew confronting Wanda on the matter would only prove to be suicide.
THUD!-Remy sank to the floor still mostly asleep.
"Merde!" exclaimed Henri when he saw Gambit slumped over on the floor.
"Dis is bad," sighed Mads.
"Damn it, Remy," swore Belle, "get yo ass in gear!"
So while Henri pulled Remy back to his feet Mads grabbed some coffee to go.
"Move out!" ordered Belle.
With that everyone filed out to the waiting cars.
"Think their plan will work?" asked Mystique not looking up from her section of the paper.
"No," answered all three men unanimously (Magneto, Mastermind and Creed).
-------------
Bayville High
8:15 am
Everyone was in position in the bushes surrounding the campus as Logan pulled up with Rogue on the back of his motorcycle. As she dismounted he handed her backpack to her.
"If yer shoulder starts botherin' ya, call me."
"Don't count on it," grumbled Rogue under her breath as she walked away.
"Ok, well I'll pick you up later then-" ventured Logan.
"Don't bother, I'll walk!" yelled Rogue over her shoulder.
"Are you still mad about what happened to Gambit yesterday?" asked Wolverine.
"Whadda you think?!" exclaimed Rogue rather exasperated.
Logan rolled his eyes, "You can't stay mad forever!"
"Don't hold your breath!" shouted Rogue as she headed off to homeroom.
Logan growled as he revved the engine and sped off, why hadn't he just stayed with Shield. It would have saved him many a migraine!
"Damn that Sheila needs to get laid," commented Pyro from the bushes.
POW!-Wanda slapped Py's shoulder.
"OW!" yelped Py grasping his shoulder, "-you are so gonna make that up ta me later."
"Don't worry," said Wanda with a smirk, "I'll make it up to you."
-------------
Henri was in the boys bathroom with Remy and a walkie-talkie (not a good combo, but I'm sure you already deduced that on your own).
"Batman, Cat Woman-are you dere?" asked Henri.
"Ya, mate, were here," John responded for both him and Wanda.
"Bon," said Henri, "get into position."
"On it, Mate," said St. John, "Ova and out *Static*"
Henri changed the frequency, "Fox Lady (Belle) an' Wild Bitch (Mads), you dere?"
"Oui, Double Oh Sexy (Henri), we here?" answered Mads.
"Commence operation: Distract Kelly," ordered Henri.
"We on it! *static*" said Mads.
Henri changed the frequency again, "Hercules an' Xena, come in."
"We're here," responded Scott for both he and Jean (Oh come on you knew Scott and Jean were going to have lame names!)
"Get into position-" ordered Henri.
"Were on each other-I mean IT, we're on it!" said Scott.
"Oh, Not again," groaned Jean.
-------------
Belle and Mads approached Kelly in three piece business suits as he was headed to his office with briefcase and paper in hand.
He looked up rather confused, "Can I help you?"
"Oui-I mean yes," said Mads trying to remember how to drop her accent, "we are from the American school board on a routine surprise inspection."
"Surprise inspection?!" asked Kelly in retort, "I wasn't informed of anything like this!"
"Of course you weren't" said Belle, "Den-er-Then it wouldn't be a surprise!"
"We're going to need a complete tour of your facilities," said Mads.
"Right now?!" asked Kelly, "I haven't even checked in with my secretary yet!"
"Don' worry we did it for you," insisted Belle.
"Uh-alright," Kelly seceded, "I guess we can start with the athletic field."
-------------
Meanwhile Jean had made Kelly's secretary think it was Wednesday, her day off, while Scott acted as the look out.
They started back down the hall and just when they thought they were in the clear, who did they see, but-
"Rogue!" said Scott hoarsely.
"Quick in here," Jean yanked Scott through the nearest door and slammed it shut.
"Uh, Jean, this is the janitor's closet," said Scott once Rogue had passed by.
"I'm aware if that, Scott," said Jean leaning forward it turn the knob, "Oh no!"
"Were locked in, aren't we?" asked Scott.
"Ya, I think it's safe to say we are," said Jean.
"Wanna-you know-" Scott trailed off.
"Why not?" said Jean as she jumped into Scott's arms.
CLUNK!
"What was that?" asked Jean.
"I just stepped in a bucket." said Scott.
-------------
"She just went into her English class," said Wanda informed Henri over the wakie-talkie.
"Uh, Shi-er Wanda, we got problems," said St. John pointing down the hall.
Who was coming down the hall, but Mads, Belle and Kelly-
"Quick in here!" said Wanda hastily as she yanked Pyro into the girls' bathroom.
"Whoa-how come the Sheila's get a couch?!" asked a be wildered Py.
"Sometimes women just need to lie down!" explained Wanda.
"Lay down?-Reeealy?" asked Py slyly, "Feel like makin' that dead arm up to me?"
"What do you think?" asked Wanda as she pounced on John.
-------------
Meanwhile Kitty and Piotr, a.k.a. "the man o' steel" and "Lois Lane" were supposed to looking out for Wolverine who had a tendency to check in on Rogue at random ever since the incident with Mystique. But of course as we all know Kitty and Piotr were not looking out for Wolverine-
Rather the "Man o' Steel was finally getting it on with "Lois Lane" in the acclaimed phone booth.
"da-Da-DA! (yes-Yes-YES!)" screamed Kitty-so far that was the only Russian she had learned.
"Wait, Katya," Piotr paused for a minute, "I thought we were supposed to be something."
"Like we are doing something!" said Kitty.
"Da, but I thought we were supposed to be doing something else." persisted Piotr.
"Whatever it was I'm sure it's not like-that-important." said Kitty as she traced the outline of Piotr's ear with her tongue.
"I see your point," said Piotr as he started right where he left off.
-------------
"Time to put dis plan into action," said Henri as he dragged Remy down de hall and into Kelly's office.
"Dis isn't gonna work, Henri," grumbled Remy as they entered the principal's office.
"Sure it will," said Henri with a huge grin.
-------------
Rogue had just sat down in class and opened her textbook when the PA system was switched on.
"Great," thought Rogue miserably, "Now what? Fish sticks instead of meatloaf for lunch?!"
"Henri dis won't work!" insisted Gambit over the PA system.
"It has to work," said Henri, "you still love her don' you, Rem?"
"Oui! Remy never stopped, but dat's beyond de point as lon' as uncomfortable wid me around her hommes Remy'll do as she asks and keep his distance." said Gambit sadly.
"Wow!" said the girl next to Rogue, "I would kill for a guy like that."
Rogue ran out in the middle of class and down to the principle's office. She threw the door open and jumped on Remy, bringing him to the ground in an earth shattering hug.
"Damn, Chere, what so lon'-Gambit was startin' t worry!"
"You know me, Cajun, Ah had to change planes in Dallas," said Rogue in jest.
"What about Wolvie?" asked Remy.
"He's a big boy, he can deal with it, Sugah," said Rogue.
"Well den, Gambit, guess de only question left be yo' place o' mine?"
SKNIT!-guess who was standing in the doorway-oh, come on I'll give you three guesses and no the first two don't count.
Rogue looked up and sighed, "Gawddamn it, Logan-Could your tiahming be any worse?! Ah swear-"
"Stripes, I'm not in the mood," growled Wolverine.
"Really?" asked Rogue coyly as she looked from Logan to Gambit and raised an eyebrow, "because Ah am."
"Say no more," said Gambit getting to his feet.
In one fowl swoop he had lifted Rogue in his arms and started to walk back down the hall.
"Oh, Logan, tell the Professor Ah'm not gonna make to dinner toniahgh." Rogue yelled as Gambit carried her down the hall.
"I will do no such thing!" shouted Logan, "Now stop playing around and come back here, so I can take you home!"
SLAM!-Too late Gambit and Rogue were already in the parking lot.
"DAMNIT!" Wolverine's growling dropped into his chest.
"Well dat's gratitude for you," said Henri sarcastically after his brother as he turned the PA system.
-------------
The next morning around 11:30 at Mags' complex Wanda burst into the conference room again as her father was briefing the adult Acolytes on their next battle plan-needless to say he was less than amused.
"Wanda what is the meaning of this?!-Don't tell me it's about Gambit and Rogue again!" her father sighed.
"Oh, no," said Wanda, "they're still asleep."
"Then why are you here?" asked her father growing annoyed.
"I was just wondering if we had a hacksaw," said Wanda.
"What do you need a hacksaw for?!" asked Magneto rather disturbed at the request.
"Foot in the lint trap again?" inquired Mystique raising an eyebrow.
"No," Wanda shook her head, "belt in the garbage disposal."
All the adults looked at her like she had three heads.
"There's a hacksaw in the garage-Do I want to know how Pyro found himself in this situation?" asked her father.
"No, no you really don't said Wanda as she headed for the door.
~Fin~
