Hola friends!! And welcome to another chapter of Returning to a World Once
Forgotten. I've finally found some time to work on my first story but it
won't be enough time until I get out of school. Anyway like I promised
there will be another booth opening for couples!!
Gambit/Layla (I have this thing for bad boys.)
Logan/Layla (My favorite couple!!!)
Pietro/Layla (I don't know how to spell his name.^.^;;)
Also I'm closing the booth for who the villain should be. Even though I haven't been typing lately you guys haven't been reviewing so I don't know who you guys want to be the villain so I'm picking!!! And it will be a surprise.
Gambit: It' 'bout time you start typin' 'gain cher'. I was wonderin' what was gonna happen to me. ::walks into the room with a grin on his face::
Tenshi: Oh I would never forget about you Gamby. Blame my absence on the teachers at my school and all the homework they have been assigning us. .
Logan: Look Cajun. I think Layla would be more than happy to end up with me instead of you. ::he stepped into the room holding a wrench and covered in oil::
Layla: Oh I feel so loved right now. Now all we need is Pietro. Speaking of which has anyone seen him lately? ::Gambit and Logan look away and start whistling:: O.k.
Tenshi: Anyway it's time to get on with the story so let's begin!! ::shouts of "where is he?" can be heard in the background:: ^.^;;;
_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
See me.
See me glaring.
See me glaring and struggling.
See me glaring and struggling to get at Gambit who is lying on a bed with an ice pack on his head.
Ok let's backtrack to the front door. Well for one thing I couldn't hit him anymore because Xavier used his powers to hold me in place while Ororo and Jean picked up Gambit and took him to the infirmary. When Xavier released me, I would've gone after the other three but Scott played big brother and held me in place. I could've easily gotten away but I didn't want to tear of his arms in the process. Wondering where Logan is? He is standing off to the side watching everything with amused eyes. Yeah I would be laughing too if he was the one in this position too. As you can tell I'm starting to slightly forgive him but don't say nothin'. As for the kids, well Xavier decided to send them away. I bet those kids are starting to get really fed up with being sent away. I know I would.
Anyway, after Jean and Ororo headed to the infirmary, Xavier turned straight towards me and asked me what exactly happened. I told him what Gambit said, and what exactly I did to him. Then came the question from Scott on how I met him in the first place. Geez, you find out a guy is your long lost brother, and he wants to go all-protective on you in one day. Well, I told them all what happened, and to say the least, Scott wasn't a happy camper. Logan was standing at my side and there was something in his eyes that I couldn't quite comprehend. Right when I was about to figure out what the look was it vanished as if it wasn't there in the first place. Oh well. there is always the next time.
"So are we going to go visit are new guest and find out exactly why he followed me? Oh and don't worry I'm not going to hurt him." Xavier nodded his head and we all walked down the hall with Xavier in the lead, Scott in behind him, me at his side and Logan bringing up the rear. When we finally reached our destination I couldn't help but burst out laughing. For one, Gambit looked as if he stuck a fork in the light socket too many times. Then, add the fact that he had a large knot on the side of his head that was bruising quite quickly.
"Well. I see Jean and Ororo completed my job for me." By now I was using the doorframe as a prop to keep me from falling to the floor. Scott ran straight towards Jean and Ororo and tried to calm them down, and in the process occasionally having to dodge a few flying objects. Logan stood a few feet from me with a smirk on his face as he watched Xavier wheel over to Gambit and check if he was okay. I say. give him a few minutes. He'll probably bounce back then. (A.N. For all the people out there who love Gambit.SORRY!!! It's his turn to be picked on, but don't worry, Pietro will be getting the same treatment.)
"I shoulda stayed 'way if'n I wanted t' get deep fried." Gambit groaned as he slowly sat up with his back against the bedpost. "On da other han', I was tenderized an' cooked by three lovely ladies." If Gambit was paying attention at this moment he would've noticed Scott looking at him and if I could see his eyes I am certain I would see fire.
"You know Cajun, if you keep talking you may accidentally put your foot in your mouth again." I stated, finally getting my bearings in order, and finding a chair to sit in. Gambit looked over at me and smiled one of his smiles that I had a feeling would make a woman weak in the knees. Well this is one woman that won't work on. "Question Cajun. Exactly why did you come here? Or better yet, how did you know I was here in the first place?"
"Well for one ting I heard from a good source dat a big army was 'eadin' in dis area." This caused me to jump out of my chair, knocking it over in the process. "Also ya left ya wallet at da ba'."
"Shit. they've already discovered the area I'm in." I couldn't help but let loose a loud roar and slamming a fist into the wall behind me leaving a reasonable sized whole. My tail was lashing out behind me giving another clue that I was really pissed.
"Who is after you Layla, and why exactly are you so worried about them finding you?" asked Jean. She was already at my side with a first aid kit and was cleaning the cuts off of my knuckles. I pulled my hand away and shoved my hands into my pocket hissing slightly in pain. Jean nodded her head and stepped away from me and back to Scott's side.
"It's the same people who took you away last time isn't it?" Scott questioned. I could see his face turning red letting everyone know that he was starting to get really pissed off. Well I can tell you one thing. He isn't more pissed off than I am. If you can imagine what the world would look like when it is about to explode then that is how I am feeling right now.
"Look Scott I can take care of myself." He scoffed at that, and that just caused the scowl on my face to deepen more. "Trust me on this one. If I'm the one who had to survive with them for twenty years, then I think I would be the one to know how they tick. So like I said before I'll handle this on my own."
"You know cher," all eyes turned towards Gambit as he stood up from the bed with an icepack on his head. "Dey jus' tryin' t' make sure ya don' get hurt. I may not know dem well, but as much as I seen dey love ya, some more den others..." You know the more he talks, the more I want to beat him to a bloody pulp. He has no clue what the hell I've been through.
"You're not getting involved and that's final." This was a loosing battle and I knew it. How you ask? Their body language just screamed stubborn.
"Sorry girlie but there really is no way you can get rid of those four. Believe me I tried." I glared at Logan out the corner of my eyes and wrapped my tail around my waist. I muttered a few things (A.N. I know you all know who Bernie Mack is then that is how much cussing she was doing) and it caused Logan to laugh. "Sometimes I wonder if you really are related to 'Four Eyes' with that attitude of yours."
"I don't care what you think, so will you please shut up furball before I decided to cut out your tongue and keep it as a necklace!" As you can tell I was not in a joking mood and I would follow through with my threats if push came to shove. Logan was about to say something, but he glanced over at Xavier first, and whatever he saw made him stay in his place and growl at me.
"Layla, as much as you would want to face this by yourself, you are considered among family here and family sticks together no matter what. Now, you also must realize that if you tell us not to fight that we will follow you no matter what." This came from the ever-quiet Ororo and lately whenever she had anything to say you listened to her, even though sometimes you just wanted to tear off your ears and run sometimes. I looked at her for a second, and then began to think about what she said. She does have a point and I sure as hell know that Scott is going to follow no matter what. Jean will undoubtedly follow Scott because she loves him and Logan will follow because he likes Jean. Not to mention for good measures Ororo will follow along. The only person who won't be following would be Xavier, because he has to make sure the school stays in one piece. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of defeat, and I heard a few sighs of relief erupting around the room. Hey, wait a minute. why would Logan be sighing?
"So cher where we goin'?" Once again all eyes shifted towards Gambit as he set the icepack down and stood next to Xavier. I raised an eyebrow and I was so tempted to ask what he was on and if I could have some.
"You're not going anywhere Cajun. You're going to stay out of my way or I'm going to have to send a few jolts of electricity through your system." And for good measures I formed a ball of electricity into my hands and let it hover a few inches above my palm.
"Don' dink ya will hurt me 'gain cher. Dis time ol' Remy be prepared." He put his hand into the inside of his trench coat and pulled out a card. I was about to ask what it was before but was cut short when the card began to glow and bright orange. If I didn't know any better I would swear that looked like it was going to explode.
"Layla he does have a point you know. I mean he is the one who told us the problem in the first place. So maybe he could help us track them down." Scott reasoned with a mildly pleading look of please-try-to-be-nice-to-the- insane-person-because-it-could-mean-your-life.
"Fine, you can come, but I swear if you start bugging me I will personally toss you into a river and electrocute you. If anyone needs me I will be in my room." With that I turned around and headed out the door past Logan. When I stepped to his side, I looked up at him and noticed that he was already staring down at me. Once there was that look in his eyes and I couldn't shake this feeling off that my life was going to get more complicated from this moment on.

Tenshi: Well this wasn't my best work but at least I've finally been able to get out another chapter. ::Gambit comes into the room looking slightly upset:: What's wrong Gamby?
Gambit: Layla took my cards an' fightin' staff, an' won' give 'em back 'til I tell 'er where Pietro is. She hid Logan's liquor an' boy is 'e pissed.
Tenshi: What exactly did you do with Pietro? The last time I saw him, he was heading towards the gym.
Gambit: Sorry cher' but even if ya cute, I still won' tell ya where we hid 'im.
Tenshi: Oh well it's not my stuff she stole in the first place, so I have nothing to worry about. Well until next time readers. And hopefully this time I can get a chapter out sooner.
Gambit/Layla (I have this thing for bad boys.)
