Date: July 26, 2003
A/N: This is going very slowly. V_V This sucks. WRITER'S BLOCK BLOWS!! =p
DISCLAIMER: I OWN REMY!! Nyah, nyah! =p *lawyers and a S.W.A.T. team pound on the front door* I'm kidding, of course! *pounding stops* ..Jeezah! V_V;; Kalli and Hanna are mine. So is Idget.
~~~~~~~~~ 99999999999999999999~~~~~~~~~
Kalli yawned and scratched her head, looking around the room and groaned. "Magneto really needs to hire an interior decorator. I know he's all Mr. Metal Man, but this fetish for the cold steel appeal has gone too far." She looked down at Idget and scratched behind his ears. Kalli rolled out of bed and made her way into the bathroom. She glared at her reflection. As always, her hair was sticking out at one end. The blue striped pajamas made her look pale. She scowled and begn removing her clothing then getting into the shower. She let out a sigh of relief as hot water poured onto her back. She smiled to herself, letting it massage her aching body. She had only been in there for a couple minutes until cold water came down upon her head. She screamed and looked up. She saw a small bucket clutched in a hand. She growled. "HANNA!!"
Kalli shut the water off and grabbed a towel and a robe from off the hanger. She heard giggles from behind the curtain. She smiled evily as she turned to water back on and soaked the tip of the towel. She shrugged on and tied the robe around her and pulled back the curtain. Hanna stood in the doorway, doubled up with the giggles. Kalli stepped out and twisted the towel, the evil grin growing bigger. Hanna noticed this and ran out of the room. Kalli chased her out of the room and down the hall. "Noo! Kalli stop!"
"No! I WILL BE GET MY REVENGE, HANNA-BANNA!" Kalli screamed back. She ran around the corner and ran into something hard and fell. "Oww.." she looked up and saw Remy looking down at her.
"Mornin', chere," Remy said, taking in her appearance. A smile spread upon his face. "Have a nice shower?" He lent her a hand.
Kalli ignored it and got up herself. She scowled at him and shoved him. "You were in on this!" Remy grinned and laughed.
"Remy could not resist, chere. Remy apologizes," He was still laughing. Kalli's brow furrowed, twisting the towel. Then with one quick motion, she cracked the wet tip of the towel at him. He clutched his butt where it hit him. Kalli grinned cheekily. Remy looked at her, as if he was hurt. He took the towel from her. Kalli knew he was going to repay the favor and took off in the opposite direction. She squealed as she heard a crack behind her. Remy chased her down the hall. Kalli ran into her room and jumped onto her bed, standing in the middle of it as he entered the room. Idget stared at her from the edge of the bed. Remy came in and closed the door with a malicious smile and approached her.
"Remy..Sweety. Kalli's sorry!" Kalli cried with a weak and forgiving smile. Remy shook his head and cracked her with the towel, getting her leg. Kalli gripped her leg and plopped down on the bed, giggling like mad. Remy came onto the bed and sat down next to her and threw the towel in the corner.
"Now we are even, chere," a cheeky grin appearing. Kalli sighed and shook her head while she tightened the robe around her, although she was still smiling. Remy tilted her chin up with one finger and leaned in to kiss her.
"Am I interupting anything?" Remy and Kalli turned and saw Hanna standing in the doorway looking smug.
"Actually...Yah, you are." Kalli stated, with a little smile and nod towards Remy. Hanna laughed. "What's up, Hanna-Banna?"
Hanna closed the door and came over to them. She held up an envelope. "You got a letter, Kal-Lick," Kalli exchanged glances with Remy and took the letter from her best friend. Remy sat up and scratched behind Idget's ears as Kalli opened the envelope. Kalli pulled the letter out.
'Dear Kalli,
By the time you get this, I will be on my way to New York. Xavier has contacted me and asked me to come and stay at the Institute. I have waited 16 years to see how you turned out. And I imagine you must be anxious to finally meet me. I have so much to tell you, and I bet you do, too. Be a good girl and don't give Remy too much of a hard time. I'll see you when I see you.
Love,
Avari.'
Kalli looked up at Remy, who had a quizical look on his face. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Hanna looked away with a smug smile. When Kalli pulled away, she asked, "What did you say to get her to come back?"
Remy shook his head and smiled. "Remy jus' used his wit an' charm, chere," Kalli chuckled as she rolled her eyes.
"So, did you get to talk to Magneto yet?" Kalli asked.
Hanna groaned. "Nah. He's still not back yet. Jesus! Where does a super-villian go nowadays?" She threw her hands up in frustration. Kalli just nodded her head in understanding.
"Yeah. Well," she looked up at Remy and Hanna. "I need to get dressed. Would you guys excuse me?" She got up and went to the dresser and pulled out some clothes from one of the drawers and went into the bathroom to change.
Hanna sat down at the head of the bed and clasped his hands together in her lap. "You know that Mystique kidnapped Kalli for him, right?" Remy nodded. "Why?"
Remy licked his bottom lips as he thought about how he was going to answer. "Magneto hasn't told Remy his plan. Imagine he t'inks Remy is too close to Kalli 'dat Remy might tell her,"
Hanna stared at him. "Do you reckon it's got something to do with Avari?"
Remy shrugged. "Possibly. I mean, why else would he pull out a lie such as 'she died from poison and internal bleeding'? Kalli knew he was lying. It's almost scary how she can sense t'ings like 'dat,"
The woman sighed to herself, staring at a picture of an infant. "The captian has turned on the seatbelt signal. We are expecting some turbulance," The stewardess's voice came from the front. The woman groaned while fastening her seatbelt. She put the picture back in her pocket and stared out the window, looking out at the ground below her. The airplane dipped low and it jolted as it made to land on the runway. As soon as the plane finally stopped, and the stewardess's voice came over the intercome to tell them to exit the plane, the woman grabbed her duffelbag from the compartment above her head and headed out.
The woman came through into the large lobby, and looked around. A woman with pale-white hair caught her attention. She was standing next to a smiling bald man in a wheelchair. ~Xavier,~ she thought. The man nodded. She made her way over to him.
"Hello, Avari."
