Chapter 8 - Wednesday Part I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" . . . Yes, I quite agree, nothing like some cheesy 80's music at 2am is there? It isn't like anyone out there is even listening . . ."
Kurt groaned as his radio alarm clock went off. He glanced at it - it was indeed 2:00. He was about to roll over and fall back asleep, but he then remembered why he was up.
"Ah yes, ze boat, ze money, ze schwester (pronounced schvester - means sister)." Kurt mumbled to himself as he clambered out of his nice, warm bed and into his cold uniform. He was aching all over from the excessive training yesterday. Though Rogue always complained about the Cajun, really he did save her life. She was pretty lucky. As soon as Kurt thought this, he mentally slapped himself.
'That was very stupid!' Kurt thought in annoyance, 'She's been kidnapped and you call her lucky!'
Kurt stumbled backwards, tripping over some clothes that were strewn on the floor, and fell right over.
'Aarrgh. Damn mornings!' he thought, and teleported downstairs.
*
Storm stood up from her dressing table, and moved towards the window. Why did she have to take the money? She wasn't by far the best fighter or anything, and any thoughts of it being because she was 'the sensible one' were wiped out because Kurt was going with her! She knew she shouldn't worry, that they knew almost all that was happening - but something at the back of her mind told her everything that was going to go wrong, that they would die . . . Ororo Monroe shook these thoughts out of her head, and walked calmly out of her room to meet the others downstairs.
*
Remy sat on a metal ridge in the Rec. room (AN is that what its called? Oh well, it is now ^_~), twirling his stick in between his fingers while waiting for all of the X-men and BoM to join the rest of them downstairs. So far, Scott, Jean, Kurt, Kitty, Storm, the Professor (and of course himself!) were waiting. Amara, Bobby, Ray, Roberto, Rahne, Jamie, Jubilee and Sam (have I missed any? Tell me if I have!) were all stood around in their pyjamas.
"Professor? If we aren't fighting, can't we just go to bed?" Bobby asked. "I'm tired."
"No Bobby. Rogue passed on a message to us through Gambit, saying everything living had to be out and well away from the mansion."
"Why?" Jubilee asked.
"We don't know."
Suddenly the door burst open and Evan zoomed in on his skateboard. He said a trademark sentence,
"Erm, am I late?"
"No Evan. We are simply waiting for the Brotherhood." The Professor answered. Remy kept on fiddling with various sticks and cards, Scott eyeing them warily.
"What's wrong mes ami? Don't y' trust Remy?" Scott ignored these questions, and asked the Professor one,
"Professor, where are the Loserhood? I don't trust them, they must be up to something."
"Ja, I agree. Should I pop up und see them?" Kurt asked eagerly.
"If you must, Kurt. However it is not - " BAMF " - necessary . . . " the Professor trailed off, shaking his head slightly in an amused way at the young boy. (AN Well I know Kurt isn't young young, but he is next to the wrinkly bald dude in a wheelchair! Oh - no offence to wrinkly bald dudes in wheelchairs)
A few seconds later Kurt bamfed back in to the room. "Ze Brotherhood! Zey're gone!"
*
"Heh heh, this was a great plan of mine, yo?"
"Shut up Toad, this was my idea."
"Quicksilver! Toad! Shut up, will ya?! We're going for the stealth plan here!" Lance whispered to the bickering mutants.
"Yeah, yeah, stealth plan!" Fred echoed, as he couldn't think of anything else to say. Pietro and Todd silenced, (for once!) as they all crouched in their hiding places - Lance: a shadowed wall outside the gym, Pietro: on the roof, keeping lookout, Todd: also keeping lookout up a nearby tree, Fred: hidden behind a large bush. (Well he couldn't hide behind a small one!)
Lance peered around a corner of the gymnasium wall. "The coast is clear!" he whispered into the intercoms they pinched from the X-mansion.
"Yo, what's the plan again?" Todd asked.
Lance growled slightly in annoyance, and said into the intercom so they could all hear, "Ok. Mystique, Magneto, Sabretooth and that other girl Remy didn't see, just that she's blonde - "
"Oh, well blondes are dumb anyway." Pietro interrupted, grinning. (AN I have nothing against blondes, it's just the kind of thing Pietro would say)
"Hey!" said Fred, who's blonde.
Lance blew into the intercom, causing a loud and painful noise in the others' ears, and making them shut up.
"Thank-you." Lance said, then continued, "Yeah, anyway, they're all sleeping in the storeroom. The problem is, Rogue and Wolverine are in there too. I saw the two through the window, they're hanging off the roof beam by a piece of metal."
"That must be Magneto, yo, I can tell."
"Dad? Why would he kidnap my friend? I don't get it."
"Anyway. So, I was thinking - Quicksilver could you zoom Toad inside the room, then he could climb up the walls and undo the metal tying them up."
"Uh, yeah, sure I could, but Toad hasn't got enough strength to unbend the metal."
"I do! I do!" Fred said excitedly, actually being able to fit a word in.
"Yeah, no offence Blob, but you're not exactly - well - easy to carry in." Pietro said a bit awkwardly.
"Hey, I got an idea, yo!" Todd piped up, "Quicksilver could zing back to the mansion, grab Miss Prep and come back here!"
"Yeah," Pietro said, catching on, "Then she could use her tele-whateverness to make Dad float, and we could get his skin to touch Rogue's!"
"Then Rogue could use his magnetic power to undo the metal bindings and escape!" Lance finished.
"Yeah! That's great!" Fred celebrated.
"So, am I zing-ing, Avalanche?" Pietro asked.
"Sure are."
In a flask of silver and green, Pietro disappeared off the roof and into the mansion, where all were angry at the Brotherhood's absence. They were stood around debating ("Now whadda we do? They were part of the plan!") when a silver haired, silver tongued mutant appeared, and said in his fast talking way as he grabbed Jean's arm, "Excuse me, may I borrow?" and disappeared again, this time with her.
"Hey! Maximoff! Come back here with Jean!" Scott yelled after him, doin' an angry little dance like the tribal dudes at the beginning of 'African Storm'. But Pietro was long gone, and in a few seconds, appeared back outside the gym, hidden by shadows, and accompanied by Jean.
"Pietro! Oh my god you jerk why did you do that?" Jean gabbed, too loud.
"Shut up Red and listen to me." Lance whispered angrily, "We have this other plan . . . " He explained to Jean their plan, but after he'd finished, she simply closed her eyes and shook her head, nose in the air.
"I'm sorry, Lance but did you really expect me to help you? You're just using me. You never help the X-men, see, you ran away again . . . " Jean lectured, really loudly.
"Jean! Shut it! You'll wake Magneto!" Lance hissed.
"Oh, suuuure, Lance, Magneto's really gonna hear me talk as quietly as this . . . "
"If this is her quiet, I wouldn't wanna see her loud, yo." Todd whispered to Fred, who nodded and shrugged.
" . . . and besides, your plan wouldn't work anyway, it's a really bad plan, yeah, it would never work, and Rogue wouldn't help, she wouldn't do anything just so everyone could suffer - "
"Ooh! Sounds like someone is a little jealous!" Pietro said in a teasing manner, "Don't you want big, handsome Scott to rescue Rogue instead of yoooouuuu?"
"Shut up! I totally am not jealous!" Jean yelled.
"Pietro! Shut up! You're making it worse!" Lance whispered angrily. Indeed, Pietro had made it worse. Jean was now yelling at top of her voice.
"Shut up yo you'll wake Magneto!" Toad whispered urgently, trying to catch the floating things around them and throwing them into the bushes.
"Oh, I'm so sure, Todd Tolanski! And I bet Mystique's there too eh? And Sabretooth?" Jean asked sarcastically, her voice filling the night air all around.
"Actually, yeah, they are."
"And are they all doing the can-can too?"
Todd grinned at the mental image, and answered, "Well, you'll have to ask them yourself!"
"Ok then, I will, next time I see them. But in the mean time, I'll be going home, because I doubt I'll be seeing any of them in a looooooooong time." She was going to fly back to the mansion, but she noticed all the Brotherhood were staring at something behind her. She turned, and hit her head off something. Looking up, three tall figures, and a smaller one, all wearing long black robes with hoods that cover their faces were stood in front of her. She'd banged into the lead one, and it said,
"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you."
