Chapter Five
Bobby and Allesandre were heading down the stairs to go into town with Savanna, Marcos, Alexis, Amara, Jubilee, Roberto and Remy two days later when the door swung open and Scott walked in leading a tall blonde teenage boy.
"Where are you two off to?" He asked, dropping the suitcase he was carrying on the floor.
"We're going into town with some of the others." Bobby answered calmly.
"Ciao." Allesandre greeted, extending a hand to the new boy. "Are you a student here, or just visiting?" She asked, smiling at him.
"Student." The boy mumbled, giving Allesandre a subtle once over. Bobby noticed it however and shot the teen a look as if to say 'mine, hands off'.
"This is Nikolai Rosenberg." Scott introduced. "He's from Russia."
"Nice to meet you Nikolai." Allesandre said with a large smile.
"We really should get going Allesandre, or the others will be mad."
"Si, si." Allesandre said, turning back to the new student. "I will see you when we get back, no?" She asked. The boy nodded in response. "Good! It was very nice meeting you Nikolai." Allesandre stated, and followed Bobby out the door.

"How about this?" Alexis asked, holding up a poster for Savanna and Allesandre to see.
Savanna wrinkled her nose. "No way." She stated. "Here's an idea. How about I worry about the posters and you two worry about the curtains and stuff." She suggested.
"Good idea." Alexis agreed. "I'm getting sick of all the white in our room."
"All the rooms at the Institute are like that." Allesandre put in. "Too boring for me."
"Make sure you get something DARK!" Savanna called after the departing pair.
"Are you staying at the Institute dear?" An elderly woman who had seemingly appeared out of thin air, asked.
"Yeah." Savanna said, eyeing the woman warily. Before her eyes the woman changed into a blue skinned mutant with red hair.
"Mystique." Savanna greeted coolly.
"Mystique raised her eyebrow in surprise. "You know me?"
"I read the old mission reports."
"If you read the old mission reports the you know that the X-Men are a bunch a goody too shoes. Now honestly dear, do you think that the Institute is the right place for you, a girl who has lived on the edge her whole life?"
"What, you want me to join the Brotherhood?" Savanna asked, a hint of a laugh in her voice.
"You are welcome of course."
"Thanks but no thanks. I think I have a better chance at the Institute. I want to do good. So I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline." That said the girl turned on her heel and walked away.
"You stay away from dem Mystique." Remy said as her stepped out from behind a near by poster display.
"And if I don't?" Mystique asked, turning to look at the Cajun.
"Then we be playin' cards, Remy's way, mon amie."

"Remy, I'm curious." Alexis began. "Today Jubilee told me that you and Peter used to fight against the X-Men, but neither of you seem the. evil kind. Why were you with Magneto?"
The rec room went silent at Alexis' question and they all turned to look at Remy.
Remy sighed. "Turn off de TV. Chere." He said quietly to Rogue.
Rogue nodded slightly and grabbed the remote, switching off the TV.
"When Magneto wants something, he goes all out to get it." Remy began as he looked at the people in the room. "Ol' Bucket Head 'proached me when I still be wit' de Guild. He offered me a place in de Acolytes an' I declined. Nex' day I go home an' mon pere is gone. Magneto show up little while later an' tell me dat if I want to see mon pere 'gain I had to join de Acolytes, so I joined. 'Parently de same t'ing happened to Pete. Magneto kidnapped his kid sister, dat's why he was dere. We stayed wit' Magneto fer two years, till I got beat by de X-men an' dey brought me back here."
"Ah must point out, that it was me who beat the swamp rat." Rogue put in.
"I let you beat me, chere." Remy said with a grin.
"Just get on with the story Cajun" Jubilee said from her spot between Ray and Sam.
"De X-Men convinced me t' tell dem why I was wit' Magneto an' dey offered t' help. So dey helped me break mon pere an' Illyana out. Our families went into hidin' an' me 'n' Pete joined de X-Men." Remy finished with a flourish.
"That's just the toned down version." Bobby stated, shifting Allesandre, who was sitting on his lap so he could see everyone. "I was there. Man, I thought I was going to die at the ripe old age of 16."
"We were all sad when he came back." Tabitha whispered in Savanna's ear.
"Hey!" Bobby protested with a pout.
"What are you guys still doing up?" Scoot asked, poking his head into the rec room. "It's past curfew. Come one, bed."
I must say that I hate writing Remy's accent, love reading it! Hate writing it.
