Igamblelife: outing maybe but there's an ending coming up. The sick thing might be good for another time. As for the rebellion thing Angel's based off a kid I watch and she's hardly rebellious and two this chapter will be quite explanatory on why their behavior is so good. Thanks for reviewing.
Anything but Ordinary3: Here's your next chapter. My audience poll turns up..*checks list* fortunately 99.999999999% say fortunately. .1% says unfortunately. *hides the sister's bear who voted wrong* oops.

"You two stay here and don't move from that couch, okay?" Logan stares down at the two children curled up on the couch. "kay, Logan,"Tara says, smiling up at him before returning to the tv. Angel hadn't moved much in the last hour and lays curled up under a blanket with her eyes closed. Have to get Jean to check on her later... He waits a few moments longer, then walks to the briefing room where the other X-men were waiting. "About time, Logan. Are the demons behaving?"Scott questions, looking up from where he was being babied and soothed by Jean. Logan shrugs. "Guess so. They're watching tv or Tara is. I think Angel's sleeping...." "De petite fell asleep? Dat's good..What information is dere on dem?" Gambit looks around the table, forgetting for the moment that Rogue was eating his untouched food. Wow, maybe we should feed her more often.
Jean clears her throat. "It wasn't easy locating the boy the professor spoke about. He's like a shadow....vanishes as soon as you see him." "Big deal. Remy vanish just as fast. Old thieves trick, Jeannie." Rogue elbows him, lightly. "She's not done, yet, sugar." "Sorry, chere,"he mumbles as he begins to tap the card in his hand against the edge of the table. Jean clears her throat, loudly. "As I was saying before that....person, who does not deserve a name, interrupted me. The boy's name is Joseph and he knew Angel's parents who were also watching Tara after the girl ran away from the circus about ten months ago. From what he's said both her parents died in an anti-mutant riot the exact day they were abandoned here....." Gambit interrupts,"Wait, let Remy understand. De chil'ren have no one? Tara was part of a circus?" "Yes, Remy. Joseph couldn't tell us how long, but it seems he knew where the two were and brought some things by for them?" Logan and Gambit shift uncomfortably. "We found them, Jean. we just forgot,"Logan announces, concentrating on starting at the door.
Xavier interrupts by clearing his throat now. "Is there anything else Jean?" "Yes, the only other information we have is a reason for their behavior. Better then most five-year-olds; from what Joseph said there were alot of rules with behavior since her father was a mutant and her mother was normal." Rogue had stopped eating and was staring at her, somewhat shocked, mouth agape. Gambit leans over and pushes her mouth closed. "Quelqu'un pourrait penser que vous offriez un service. "(Someone could think you were offering a service.) *SMACK* "Ohhh, dismissed,"Scott announces, snickering seconds before he recieves a SMACK from Jean. Logan coughs, but Gambit suspects it covered a laugh as he rubs his bright red cheek; Rogue's slaps hurt more then normal even when she held back alot.
"Please, no more fighting. We have more pressing matters,"Hank announces, looking up from the book he was reading-the encylopedia of sound affects. The book vanishes into his fur a few moments later. Rogue sets down the now empty plate in front of Gambit. "So where do we go from here?"she questions, wiping her mouth. Logan coughs. "If you're done stuffing your face, darlin, we can figure out what to do with the two kids asleep in our rec room." "I say we sell them to a circus,"Scott announces with a dark scowl toward the door. *BAMPF* "Selling ze children to a circus is wrong and I refuse to allow it!" Kurt smacks Scott them teleports into the chair between Rogue and Storm. "Remy seconds de fuzzy one's motion!" Logan shakes his head,"No circus. They're not puppies, Scotty. They're people." Xavier clears his throat. "I'm going to leave the final decision to you, my x-men. I have other pressing matters to attend to,"he announces as he makes his way out of the room. Confused silence follow for a few moments. Jean breaks it with a loud annoying clearing of her throat.
"Any other suggestions on what to do with them?" Storm mumbles something, then yelps as first Gambit, then Logan kick her in the leg. "Sorry..." "Remy t'ink--" Rogue looks up at him. "Remy can't speak right now unless he drops the third person." Gambit sticks his tongue out at her and sulks; she rolls her eyes and pats the top of his head. "Good, swamp rat. It seems there's two options here...." "What would those be, Rogue?"Jean questions looking up from once again babying Scott. She sighs as if it was a chore to tear her attention away from her husband. "One, turn them over to authorities and let them deal with it or....two, we keep 'em." Gambit's hand goes up. "Remy say keep dem, keep dem, keep dem!" "NOOOOOOO!" Scott screams and runs toward the door, but misses and hits the wall, falling limp and unconscience at Hank's feet. "Oops..." "Any other suggestions?" Logan shrugs. "It wouldn't be that bad if we kept them...they keep things interesting." "I dunno..Think about the way we live. They'd almost always be in danger,,"Jean says, shifting her attention from her unconscience husband. Silence follows to allow thinking. Kurt shakes his head. "Just don't sell zim to ze circus and having them around wouldn't be that bad..." A few moments of silence follow, then something crashes and two shouts come from the rec room. "REMY!" "LOGAN!"

One more chapter after this. I had to make this the smallest bit serious to get to the discuss of what to do with Tara and Angel. I realize it's not that much to do with them, but aren't my cast of x-men great? *locks them back in their cages....er, rooms* Next chapter will be the last and will be the big moment-do they keep 'em or lose 'em? Tell me which you'd prefer...*sets up poll boxes and waits*
