Pyro reread the file of Rahne Sinclair, absorbing the facts absently and concentrating more on her beautiful face.

        "Hey, Johnny?" Gambit nudged his teammate. After convincing Colossus and Sabertooth to help him wake St John, they had tried cold water, hot water, hitting him, yelling into his ear, making loud noises, tickling him and pinching him. None of these worked. Finally, Sabertooth simply pulled the file from his hands.

        "Yaaahh!" Pyro jumped a foot in the air and only then realized he was wet. "…I hate you guys," he mumbled as he shuffled off to change. And just in time, too. Magneto called the Acolytes to battle.

        As expected, the X-men were there. Pyro managed to battle Rahne. Unfortunately, he had to really hurt her.

        When the battle was over, Pyro looked sadly at where Rahne lay unconscious. Quickly, he strode over to her, pressed a kiss to her cheek and went back to the metal spheres.
