Here's the next chapter! I only got 6 reviews! That's a good start right?
Why don't people like my angel stories? Oh well. Oh and I'd like to thank
everyone that came up with some codenames for Belle. But I think I'll stick
with Harpy. Thanx much!
Chapter Six: Taking Chances
Pyro sat on his couch, trying to rearrange his thoughts. No longer can he go to Bayville just to hang around. Neither could Remy. But he wasn't as upset as him. He couldn't imagine why he would be upset for not going to some dumb school anyway. But every second, Belle would always come to mind. Suddenly, a hot pink flyer was moved into Pyro's face. He jumped up and saw Remy looking down at him with his signature smirk.
"Lookit dis." He said.
Pyro took it from his partner's hand and silently read it. He looked up from the paper and raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
"And why are ya' showin' me this?"
"Magz wants us ta' go. Figured dat we take some girls along."
"Like yer Rogue?" asked Pyro with a grin.
"Y' know it." Smiled Remy as he shuffled through his deck of cards.
Pyro leaned back, trying to think. "But who am I gonna bring?"
"Remy heard last night from Chere' that Belle's spendin' da night dere. She seemed quite excited."
A small smirk came across the firestarter's lips. "Ya' thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
"Less get goin' before they leave." Told Remy.
~*~
"Have a good time Belle." Called Warren from his cell-phone.
Belle was already at the Xavier Institute and was on Kitty's phone. She smiled and toyed with her silver hoop earring.
"I will. Bye Warren."
Belle placed the phone back on its cradle and turned to Kitty who was fixing her hair to her regular ponytail.
"So what's with this codename business?" asked Belle as she laid back on Kitty's bed.
Kitty turned to her friend and thought for a moment.
"Well, all of us have codenames like mine, Shadowcat. And Evan's is Spyke. You can have one or you can just be Belle."
Belle wanted to be included. She figured it would be fun to have a codename.
"How about.. Harpy?"
"Seems angelic. Okay then. Your new codename is Harpy!"
Belle grabbed a ponytail from her mini back-pack and tied her hair up into a ponytail. Then took out a black clip that matched her black turtle neck and loose olive green stretch jeans, and pinned the ponytail to her head, making it spike up. Suddenly, strands of hair fell from her new look, framing her face exactly like Kitty's. They looked at each other then giggled.
"Nice look Harpy." Laughed Kitty.
"Why thank you Shadowcat." Giggled Belle.
Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared in-between them. Belle shrieked for a moment, backing into the wall until she saw Kurt standing with his usual hairstyle. He looked at his watch then turned to them. "Guten tag Belle and Keety! Lance iz downstairs."
Kitty nodded and thanked Kurt as she went out the door. Belle stood up and followed after slipping on her favorite black suede coat. She rushed down the stairs as Kitty phased through the stairway and reached the door. "Like, hi Lance!" she giggled. Belle approached the door and waved at Lance. "Hey." She looked around and suddenly felt an urge to just walk around outside. Then someone caught her attention from outside. There was Rogue sitting up on a branch on the tree by her room. Belle whispered something in Kitty's ear and left to see the punk rocker girl.
"What are you doing here alone?" asked Belle as she leaned against the tree's stump area.
Rogue looked down and smiled at angel mutant. She jumped down and landed on her feet.
"Oh just lookin' at the stars. Ah don't have anything better ta do."
"Oh really Chere'?"
Belle and Rogue turned. They both saw Remy and Pyro heading their way. Looking casual as usual. Rogue crossed her arms while Belle sat in place. She caught Pyro looking straight at her until he moved his attention away from her. "An' whut are yuh doin' here swamp rat?" "Oh just lookin' fer some girls ta go somewhere wit." Said Pyro. Belle stood up and brushed her pants, trying to relieve herself from dirt. "Where?" "To de firework show. Y' wanna come?" Remy asked them both. The girls raised their eyebrows at each other with sly smirks. Rogue planted her hands on her hips as Belle crossed her arms. "Sure. Let's get goin'. We'll call the prof. when we get there."
~*~
They arrived right after the mall opened for its New Years Eve firework show. The group moved through the mall, talking to one another and gazing at their sales and food courts. Rogue was locked onto Remy's arm while Pyro and Belle walked beside each other, just listening to Remy and Rogue's silly conversations. Finally, Belle decided to speak.
"So.. I heard you can control fire." She asked.
Pyro seemed happy to start a conversation other than listening to Remy and Rogue sweet talk and insult each other.
"Yeah. Ya' wanna see?"
Belle smirked. "Sure."
Pyro gestured the insulting couple to go into the smoothie parlor for some smoothies. They went inside and ordered 4 berry smoothies. When their orders had arrived, Pyro took out his lighter and moved his hand around it as Belle watched in awe. As Remy and Rogue were still insulting each other, Pyro finally started stroking the flame when it formed into a mini dragon. It blew out a burst of flame as it stomped around in one place. Belle arched an eyebrow and grabbed a cup of water from the empty table near by.
"You wanna see something?" she asked with a smirk.
Pyro laughed. "Ya' think ya' can stop my dragon?"
"Of course." Belle said playfully.
She scooped her hand inside and concentrated, as she lifted her hand out, a ball of water was floating in her hand. Belle moved her other hand, moving the ball, forming it into a girl dancing. Pyro scoffed and brought the dragon closer to the water dancer.
"Honestly Pyro, my dancer can kick your dragon's ass any day." Belle said.
"A saucy girl aren't ya'? Well watch this!"
Pyro moved his hand, making the dragon head over to the dancer when suddenly Rogue bumped into Belle, making her dancer splash against the dragon. Extinguishing Pyro's creation. They both turned and glared at the southern girl as she smiled at them. "Ah'm sorry ya'll. Got outta hand there." She said.
Belle's glare slowly turned to normal then she started to giggle. Pyro switched and looked to Belle who was covering her mouth from laughing. Before they knew it, everyone was laughing. Remy turned to Pyro who was laughing along with Belle. He couldn't help but notice how his partner never was so happy with a girl like Belle. Suddenly, a waitress stepped in the middle of the room and waved a neon pink flyer around.
"Hey everyone! The fireworks will be starting in 10 minutes! Head out to the beach now to get good views!"
Belle stood up, letting Rogue get out with her smoothie. The guys did the same and waited for the next thing. Rogue flipped a strand of hair back out of her face. "Should we get goin' now?"
"Might as well. Remy don't wanna be in de back." They started out and walked outside of the mall. When they arrived at the beach, they looked around, seeing everyone tried to get there as soon as possible. Chairs and benches sat around in scattered places. Belle saw a bench right in front of the tide. They all followed her and sat on the benches. Pyro turned to Belle who was sitting next to him. "Ya' only wanted to sit by the tide so ya' could control the water huh?"
Belle nodded. She then turned to him when he turned to face the tide.
"Why are they showing us fireworks when New Years Eve is only 3 days away?"
"Dunno. Maybe so they could get rid of their bloody sales."
Belle made her mouth into an O and looked up at the skies. She took a deep breath and sighed as the stars twinkled above. "So, how was life before ya' were adopted by Angel?"
Belle's head moved from the sky then to Pyro who was looking at the sand. She didn't know what to say. "It was good I guess. I lived with my grandparents most of my life."
"Did ya' know yer parents?"
Belle was surprised to know Pyro was curious about her. No one except Warren asked. "Not really. My grandparents told me they just disappeared. But I'm guessing they didn't want to tell me they died. I don't know why."
"Maybe they're trying to protect ya'?"
Belle shrugged. Her heart felt like it was going to collapse the more she explained to Pyro about her family. She felt tears threatening to fall against the cold damp sand.
"Belle? Ya' alright? I didn't mean ta-"
"No, I'm fine. It's alright."
Belle stood up and started for the entrance until Pyro turned and watched her.
"Are ya' sure? Where ya' goin'?"
"I'm gonna get my smoothie. I'll be right back." She called.
Belle felt her hair fly back with the gentle sea breezes. The tears threatened again as she closed her eyes tight trying to prevent them. Memories struck her like sharp stones when they flashed through her mind. But it felt like someone was making her remember. When Belle was reaching the entrance, something went past her. She looked to her left and saw a shadow walk up to her. There stood Magneto with his face hidden behind his helmet. "What do you want?" her voice grew sharp. Belle shot her hand out and noticed it went through him. She rubbed her eyes to find him gone. Belle sighed and walked inside.
~*~
Pyro looked back down at the sand as he blocked the wind from blowing out the flame, coming out of his lighter's mouth. He hoped that he didn't hurt Belle's feelings, discussing about her past life. He shook his head, ridding the thoughts about her. Once again, he didn't know why.
"I'm back."
Pyro turned and saw Belle take her seat again by Pyro. She handed him one of the smoothies from her hand. He looked at her confusingly.
"You left yours there too." She said.
"Oh, thanks." He replied.
Belle looked up and saw kids playing around in the water. She arched an eyebrow when she saw a toddler run away from her big brother, towards the deeper parts. She didn't know why they would go playing around in the water when it was cold. Instead, Belle shrugged and turned back to Pyro who was spinning his finger around the flame on the lighter. Then the little girl caught her attention again. She was in the deeper part with an inflatable chair, waving happily to Belle.
"Hi lady!"
Belle moved her head up and more then waved to the girl. Then when she was looking back to Pyro, the little girl shrieked. Belle lashed her head back up and saw the girl trying to swim. When she was just at the tip of the deep end and shore, the toddler waved to Belle again.
"Lady, come play with me!"
Belle caught Pyro glimpsing at her again and stood up. She placed her smoothie down and walked towards the water. She bent down and watched the toddler try and balance herself from the strong waves. Belle took off her socks and shoes then stuck her feet in the water, rising up to the shore.
"Aw go on and play with the girl Belle. She won't bite!" said Rogue as she pulled herself away from Remy.
Belle smiled and turned to Rogue. She crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow at her friend.
"Honestly, you think I'd go in the water when in January?"
Suddenly, Belle felt something hit her ankles hard, she stumbled then fell, pushing the toddler back into the water. She rolled into the deep water then jumped up, trying to see. Belle pulled her coat up more, trying to hide her wings when she heard the toddler from behind. She lashed around and saw her trying to swim against the waves, trying to call for her. Belle started for the girl, trying not to swallow the salt water. Pyro stood up immediately as Rogue and Remy did the same. They saw a crying woman run right past them, calling for the girl. As Belle was getting closer to her, she felt something pull her leg. Something metal and cold. Again it pulled, dragging her under.
"Belle!! Where'd yuh go?!" shouted Rogue as she walked over to the damp sand area.
Pyro ran up beside Rogue, looking around frantically for Belle. He didn't know why, probably because it was the right thing. At least that's what he thought. Suddenly, they saw a hand push the girl to the shore. The girl was on her hands and knees, panting hard until the woman scooped her up.
"Belle!!" shouted Rogue impatiently.
There was no sign of her. Rogue shoved Pyro against the water, forcing him to go. He lashed to her.
"What are ya' doin'?!"
"Go out there and find Belle!!"
"Let Remy do it!" he snapped back.
"He's out searching for help!!"
Pyro clenched his fists and ran into the water. (That sheila's lucky I'm willin' to risk my lighter for her.) Suddenly, he saw Belle bob her head up. He swam over to her as she gasped for air.
"Belle!! Get back to shore!" he shouted.
Belle glared at him as she pulled at her leg.
"There's something dragging me down!!"
She moved her hands a bit above the water and circled them around. Finally, the water slowly began to spread apart making them see what was dragging her down. What they saw was a heavy metal pipe tied onto her ankle. When they touched the sand and the water was spreaded into a circle around them, Belle began trying to slip her ankle out.
"Why doncha just fly!?" suggested Pyro impatiently.
Belle looked at him like he was stupid. "I don't want them knowing I'm different!"
Pyro sighed then came closer to Belle, trying to help slip her ankle out.
"Then make a wave that will cover ya' until ya' get somewhere!"
She sighed then passed her coat to Pyro. Her wings spreaded out as she tried to rise out of the water. Finally, when she did she flew up, moving her hands up making the water rise like a tsunami.
"I'll meet you at the mall rooftop!"
With that, Belle flew off towards the mall. Pyro stood in place as he watched her try and control her tsunami. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Even though he'd seen Angel's wings, he didn't imagine a girl like Belle to have wings.
~*~
Belle collapsed on the rooftop, her wings were tired from flapping with water on them. She was once again gasping for air until she saw Magneto step out of the shadows beside her. "You don't want them knowing you're different."
Belle sat up, and twisted her hair, releasing the salt water from it.
"Your point being?"
"Belle, admit it. You want to be with someone you can be safe with correct?"
"I already have them."
"Join the acolytes Belle. We're planning to make humans understand us. The X-Men are just waiting until they realize it themselves."
Suddenly, Magneto's head lashed to the side. He then disappeared back in the shadows as Remy, Rogue, and Pyro arrived at the rooftop.
"Oh Belle, yuh don't look so good. Let's get back."
Belle stood up and twisted her hair again. "Yeah, I need a shower.."
Sorry if that was weird to you all. It's pretty hard to think of ways to get Magz to make Belle join the acolytes. But I have something big coming up! Bwahahahaha! Reviews and comments please!
