"Grab them!" Graydon shouted, his eyes narrowed and his teeth bared.
As Logan unsheathed his claws and got ready for a battle, the guards
holding blunderbusses suddenly found that their guns were iced over and
useless.
"Let go o' mah mama!"
Before anyone could register what was happening, a streak of green and yellow flew by and rammed into three of the guards, sending them smashing through the gates.
"Rogue?" Kurt asked, cocking an eyebrow. Rogue floated just above the ground, her green-gloved hands clenched in angry fists. Her chestnut hair was blown back, except for her white stripe, which fell over her green eyes. She looked over at Kurt and smiled faintly, before turning to the guard who was still holding Raven.
"Do Ah need ta repeat mahself, sugah?" she asked, slowly taking off one of her gloves. Before the guard could let go of Raven, Rogue had him by the throat with her bare hand. Everyone watched as the guard's body started to crumple into itself, his scream getting weaker as his face aged swiftly. When Rogue let go, he crumpled into a pile of dust.
"What are you waiting for you idiots?!" Graydon shouted, running back into his castle. "Get them!"
"We need to get our backs to the forest!" Logan shouted, impaling a charging soldier. Looking to the gates, he swore aloud as more soldiers blocked their path, aiming blunderbusses at them.
A loud whistling noise rang out as pink explosions erupted, shattering half of the blunderbusses. The thundering sound of hooves came from the east, followed by laughter.
"Look dis way, hommes!" Cards glowing a bright pink flew at the men and erupted in their faces, sending them flying. Remy Lebeau laughed, still charging forward on his horse, ramming into the ones who were still standing before he leapt off and hurled more charged cards at the enemy.
Shards of ice rained down on the soldier's barracks, making the roof collapse and trapping those who were still inside tightly. Bobby wasn't too far behind, falling more then leaping off of his own horse.
"I zhought I told you to stay vith Amanda!" Kurt shouted, laughing nonetheless at seeing him here when they needed it most.
"She's being taken care of by Meggan and her husband Brian." Bobby assured him, freezing the legs of some fleeing soldiers. "What's the plan?"
"Get in the forest!" Logan shouted, backing up. "We need a better plan since Raven screwed this one up!" Nodding, Bobby froze the front doors shut, before helping Kitty mount his horse and riding after the others into the trees.
They continued to run off until Logan finally had them go down into a ditch and stop. Growling, he vented his anger on a few shrubs as the others rested their legs. Finally, he took a deep breath and he let it out slowly, sheathing his claws at the same moment. He opened his mouth to say something when Raven stopped him.
"So this is the man you've decided to be with?" she demanded, narrowing her eyes dangerously. Remy looked at Rogue with raised eyebrows and wisely stepped behind her for a shield.
"Ah was gonna tell ya, mama." Rogue tried, smiling weakly. Snarling, Raven brushed the comment away with a wave of her hand, shaking her head.
"How may times have I told you that you have more important things to worry about then men?" she demanded. "How many times?! And you never even came to visit me in these four years you've been gone! This thief has made you forget your own mother!"
"That's not true, et's jus' that we've been really busy, mama. Ah jus' didn' have the time yet." Rogue insisted. Raven scoffed, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Busy stealing petty things I'll bet." She said. Remy frowned and stepped forward slightly.
"I've been takin' care o' 'er, Raven." He said, his red on black eyes as equally narrowed as Raven's. "An' Remy Lebeau don' steal petty t'ings either! We been goin' fo' de big stuff!" he added.
"Well good for you." Raven snapped, poking her finger into his chest. "It's nice to know my daughter is with an honorable thief!" she spat at him.
"Mama. . ." Rogue tried.
"Not another word! I'm ashamed of you and I'm not afraid to say it either!" Raven snapped, turning her back to her and stomping away to go brood by herself. Rogue sighed, looking at Kurt with raised eyebrows. Kurt sighed, walking after his mother.
"I'll talk to her for you." He said as he left. Silence filled the entire group for a few moments. Coughing faintly, Warren turned to Bobby with a raised eyebrow.
"How did you know to come find us?" he asked. Bobby shrugged, smiling faintly.
"When I brought Amanda to Brian and Meggan's house, some woman named Destiny was there having tea with them. When she touched my hand, she said she saw you guys in trouble and that I would find Remy and Rogue to go and help them. Then she mumbled some other stuff but you know, I have a short attention span so it all went down the drain from there." He said with a faint smile.
"Watch, we're going to get our asses kicked later and it'll be because you can't pay attention longer than two minutes." Scott snorted, shaking his head. Bobby shrugged.
"At least I saved your asses this time." He pointed out. Piotr laughed.
"Da, and I suppose that excuses you for screwing up before with our ambush plan?" he asked. Bobby's cheeks burned bright red and everyone laughed. Shaking his head, Hank cleaned his spectacles and he sat down under a tree.
"Well, since that plan has failed, I think we should all stay here and try to think of another way inside that castle. I'm sure we'll be able to think of something by the time Kurt and Raven get back from their talk." He said, wincing as he said the last bit. Rogue looked down at the ground, her hair falling in front of her eyes.
"She was really mad at me. . ." she said softly. Smiling, Remy placed an arm around her shoulders, rubbing her leather-covered arm lightly.
"Don' y' worry, chere." He assured her. "Kurt'll talk some sense inta y' mother." Sighing, Rogue rested her head on his shoulder.
"Ah hope so, sugah."
"Let go o' mah mama!"
Before anyone could register what was happening, a streak of green and yellow flew by and rammed into three of the guards, sending them smashing through the gates.
