AN: Several things…
First off. I have a sad announcement that those who have read 'Twists of Fate' will know about. I'm going to have to slow down posts to one-two a week. Sorry, but life is a mean man.
Second. I'm going to cut the road trip a little short, so we can get this fic over in under 90 chapters.
Third. My co-author, Animeluvr1, has asked me to give her latest fic some publicity. And I will do so, but I will give you my totally professional opinion. The one that has told best friends that they look like shit, and that tells them they have BO on the day of a date.
THE FIC ROCKS!
It's a Tabby Fan's DREAM! And it has a Comic Character! It has humor by the crapload, romance to come (I hope anyways, that is it's genre) Action in the making, and lots more. Too many couples to shake a stick at, and of course, it's got some of the touches that my co-author so marvelously brings to this fic.
Go read BitterSweet! RIGHT NOW! I'm going to be even slower updating this until it has more reviews!
Also, for DBZ and CCS fans, her 5th Grade Saga is also a masterpiece.
Fourth… Romy fans, it's your time to shine! The next three chapters are so Romyfull, you'll wonder where it all came from. ::guards come in::
"You robbed the 'National Romy Vault!'"
You're my muses.
Jamie: Damn.
Chapter 60: Seductress
The X-Men landed in the marshes around New Orleans, the vehicles having been made to be able to do so. Disembarking onto fanboats, the X-Men headed to the city of Mardi Gras.
They disembarked into the actual city, and were shown to the Thieves Guild Compound by Remy.
Who was smacked on the head upon entry, with a wooden spoon.
"Dat's fo not writin'?"
Said a lady who Remy introduced as Tante Mattie. Several others entered the room.
"Es Bon to see you, mon frere." Said one of the men, as he walked over and clapped Remy on the shoulder. Other greetings came from the other late arrivals. After introductions were made, the X-Men were shown to their rooms.
As Remy sat in the drawing room, reading, a blond figure came through the door to his right.
"Remy." Said a sultry voice.
He turned his head ever so slightly to see the one person he never wanted to see again, but knew he would.
"Belladona." Responded Remy in a neutral tone.
She smiled and sashayed over to Remy. Her low cut top was bare inches away from being indecent, and her skirt could be said to be way too short, indecently so.
She sat on Remy's lap, and pulled his book down, forcing him to look into her cleavage.
Remy brought his face up to hers, and glared at her.
"Get off, Belle."
"What if I don't want to?" she asked, her voice sultry, her eyes carrying a 'come hither' look.
"Then I'll make you."
The blond looked up to see Rogue at the doorway.
"You are?"
"His girlfriend."
Belle grinned.
"One up on you girl, fiancé."
"EX-fiance." Retorted Remy. "And glad for it."
Rogue walked over, as Belle slipped off of Remy.
"Stay away from mah man."
"Hombre jus tol you I'm his ex-fiance."
"Ah ahlreadah knew. An ah don' care. The engagement was called off."
"So what, I wan to un-call it off."
"Deal with it." Said Rogue, as she took off her gloves.
Belledona grinned, and threw a punch. Rogue side-stepped, and placed her hand on Belle's cheek, knocking the young girl out. Slipping the gloves back on, she settled into Belle's former spot. Remy had gone back to reading during the fight, already knowing the outcome.
"Ah beleave this is mah seat, sugah."
"Oui, I'll move."
"No, ah'm talkin' ta her." Said Rogue, motioning to Belledona. With that, she placed a light kiss on Remy's lips, which progressed to far deeper, only ending when he felt the jolt of her power kick in.
"Whil yo a good girl, Rogue, I don' feel like sleepin fo the next nine hours. An I don' wan the hangover tha comes after."
Rogue laughed, and snuggled up on Remy's shoulder.
(Post Chapter AN: Short, sweet, to the point. This sets up the second chapter I have planned for here. Expect it sometime tomorrow.)
