Viktor Creed stares at the two children that now lay at his feet, tangled up. He growls again as one of them yells,"Kitty cat!" "Kitty's not nice, Angel,"the second one says, hiding slightly behind the other as both stand now facing him. He stares at them with a smile. "Hello, children. Why would you be out at this time of night?" One blinks as if confused. "Kitty talks? Creepyness.." "Always wanted talkin' kitty cat,"the other answers, poking him in the stomache. Viktor growls. "I ain't no damn kitty cat. Why would two children your size be out at this time?" "What time is this time? Tara and me just want Remy..." "and Logan!"the second one pipes up, still staying behind the other. So they're looking for the infamous Gambit and my old friend, Wolverine. I think I'll leave them somewhere for him to find them,Viktor thinks with a smile as he looks down at the two children. Neither one of them seemed unable to stop staring at him.
"Kitty know where Remy is?" "Logan, too?" "Yes, I'll take you to them both...I'm an old friend,"he says, watching their reactions. The two hesitate for a moment, then nod. "On, Kitty! Angel's impa....wants Remy." Viktor scowls. The kid's third person was almost as irritating as Gambit's. He smiles and picks up one of the children in each arm; he wasn't trusting them to walk as they'd probaly run off. The child in his left arm begins to kick and struggle. "Bad Kitty! Put me down!" The other seems unaffected for the most part. "Ohhh, grass!" The one on the left continues to struggle, but the right one begins to sing. "I'm Hank the ate, I am, I am. I got married to the window next door she's been married seven times and everyone was a windower....second verse, same as the first...."(xRDx: I'm aware these aren't the real words, but she's five...what do you expect? Five-years don't get the right words. I know)Viktor growls at her as he walks toward the woods, carrying them both; Magneto would be pleased. The growl is unaffective on the child as she continues singing.
"Third verse, worse then the first!" "Would you please shut up, you little brat?"he demands glowering at her as the other one gives up trying to get lose and settles for punching him every now and then. "Down, down, down!" "I'm hank the ate, I am..." Viktor's patience slowly drains away as the song continues. Four and a half verses later he lost what little patience he had left and drops both children, uncerimoniously on the ground. "Bad kitty!" "Kitty's mean..is Logan 'round here?" He growls,"Not there yet." The one in yellow who wouldn't shut up singing glares at him. "Angel thinks kitty lies. Kitty don't know Remy or Logan,"she says, emphasizing Remy's name diffrently as she stands,"Kitty lies." Viktor scowls. Why am I doing this again? No reward is worth this.. "I want Logan,"the other announces, rubbing at her eyes as tears begin to form. "I can't take this...if you stop crying I'll give you ice cream when we get to....Remy and Logan,"he lies, trying to smile at the children and managing a smirk. Smiles come to their faces. "Ice scream! Kitty good...."

"Where de hell are dey?"Gambit demands, slumping down into his chair as Storm and Jean return from the upstairs part of the mansion. They had just announced Angel and Tara were missing, again. Charles massages his head with his eyes closed as the others slump around the table; all appear less then thrilled with this new development. Logan scowls,"And why'd the alarm go off? Was something there or just a damn bird?" "Charles is thinking, Logan....just releax,"Jean says, soothingly, glancing toward the door as Scott walks past once again with a load of his clothes, soaking wet from the pool still. Loud groans accompany this, then silence as Hank begins to read some book that strangely resembled....the latest Anne Rice book?
Xavier lifts his head a few moments later. "Logan, Remy, relax. We've found them.....you're not going to like where they are..." "Let me guess....baked in a pie?"Rogue guesses, earning a disapproving look from everyone,"Jeez, wasn't aware it was a crime to joke." "Please, Rogue. They're safe for the moment.....the phone will ring in 12 seconds. Scott, answer it....." The other X-Men trade looks as Hank stuffs the book back into his fur somewhere. Logan scratches his head. Where did he keep them? An image comes to his mind and he shudders. Nevermind. The phone rings exactly 12 seconds later; Scott picks up. "X-Mansion. Scott speaking...." There's silence for a moment. "They're where?" The phone drops from his hand and he stares at them, mouth wide open. Logan growls and picks the phone up from his grasp.
"Where the hell are the kids and who the hell is this?" "Nice to talk to you, too, Logan,"a voice growls in his ear over the strained sound of some rap song and screaming. "Saber....don't play with me." He laughs. "Play with you? Sure, Wolvie....I believe I have something that belongs to you,"he mocks, moving the phone from the sound of movement,"Kid, come here." Tara's voice comes over the phone. "Hey, Logan! Kitty nice and we gots tape." The off key sound of some tv theme song comes from the background followed by Sabertooth's command of "shut up". "What the hell are they doing there?"Logan demands, releasing the blades on one hand as he listens to the noise grow louder. Viktor's reply is short and to the point. "Kidnapping, ransom, making you pay, typical bad guy business, Wolvie...." Logan snorts. "Ransom? Typical bad guy business? Give me a break...." A click comes over the phone as the others watch him confused. Toad's voice speaks,"Please come get the demon spawn! You're paying enough just by having them around!" Something thumps and the sound of tape being torn comes. "Bad froggy, bad, bad, bad, froggy,"a quiet voice, Angel's, says in the background.
Logan laughs, knowing the kids were giving them all hell from the sounds of it and from the brief time they'd spent with the two. "Sorry, but you took them your responsiblity.." "Logan!"Jean, Storm, and Rogue all shout disapprovingly as Bobby and Jubilee cheer, joyously. Viktor's reply is simple. "We'll return them...meet me at the park and they're yours. Both of them. The little brats could make anyone wish for death! They're more revenge then I could ever give you! Take them back! Take them back! TAKE THEM BACK!" The phone clicks in his ear and Logan hangs up with a smirk. The X-women glower at him. "You're just going to leave them, Logan?"Jean asks, staring at him, shocked. He shakes his head. "Nope... if we meet old Saber in the park he'll return them. Brotherhood's not much good with kids..." Silence echoes for a few moments.
"Kitty know where Remy is?" "Logan, too?" "Yes, I'll take you to them both...I'm an old friend,"he says, watching their reactions. The two hesitate for a moment, then nod. "On, Kitty!
