Chapter 11 : You Are
Date: July 28, 2003
A/N: More fluff!! Maybe Kalli and Remy finally get to have their kiss. Isn't it wonderful! ^_^;;
DISCLAIMER: I wanna marry Remy. But, what about all the hopeless girlies who want him also? *thinks* HAHAHAH!! Suckers! Well, except for you, RogueVampyr. WE CAN SHARE HIM! I can have him for the first month, then you have him the second month. Then we can switch-out every other month. Sound fair? We can make it work! HAHA! ^_^ But, in all seriousness, all X-Men characters, except Avari, Kalli, Hanna, and Idget, belong to Marvel... V_V

Avari had always wondered what went in Xavier's manor. She descended the master staircase and peeked in the door windows down the halls and watched as classes went on. A moment later, while looking into a biology class, a bell sounded from somwhere. Doors opened and children flooded out, chattering about homework and who so-and-so is dating. Typical teen stuff. Avari waited until the children have passed and continued down the hall. She paused and leaned on a wall. She must have done something, because a wall slided open, revealing an elevator. Curious, Avari stepped inside and the door slided close behind her. The elevator slowly made its way down until the door slided open again. The scenery changed from wooden walls and floors to white walls and steel floor.
"Great..a flashback of my past at Magneto's.." she said to herself, rolling her eyes as she exited the elevator and went down the long hall. Avari peaked in the doors of dark rooms as she passed. She came to one door that didn't have a window for her to peak in. She pressed her ear to it, then checked down the hall to make sure no one was coming. She tried to open the door, but it appeared to be locked. She grunted as she kicked with all her might to open it. It didn't budge.
"You don't want to go in there," called a voice behind her. Avari jumped and spun around, only to meet a pair of dark brown eyes. Logan stared down at her, a small smile on his face.
Avari's eyebrow twitched. She was annoyed. "Great...Why not, Wolvie?"
Logan shook his head. "So. How'd you find yerself down here?"
Avari shrugged. "Got lost?" She just realized that Logan had his shirt off and was sweating. She wished he wasn't shirtless, it was distracting her. Logan sensed this and smirked.
"Well, you should go back above ground. I was fixing to wrap things up, until I heard you making a racket out here," he said, pointing the door. He smiled and turned and left. Avari was curious where he went, and followed him.
She slipped inside before the door shut. She stood up and looked around. It was a gym. Avari wondered how the X-Team stayed in shape. Now she felt stupid. She sighed and sat cross-legged on a chair near the door as the sound of a shower turning on reached her ears. Avari stared at her hands for a couple minutes until the shower creaked off. "What am I doing in here anyway?" She asked herself.
"Yeah, really," came the same gruff voice she heard. Avari jerked and stood up, and saw Wolverine staring at her. She noticed he was dripping wet and a towel was wrapped around his waist. Avari mentally slapped herself when she realized she was admiring his body. "What ARE you doing here?"
Avari scratched the back of her neck nervously. Then a thought struck her. With a flirty smile, she said, "Waiting for you,"
Logan raised an eyebrow at her, slicking the water off his head with his hand. He turned and disppeared into the locker room muttering, "Women.."
Avari smirked and ran her hand through her silky hair. 'This'll be fun toying with him,'
Kalli was lying on her bed again, Idget right next to her. She was petting him as she stared up at the ceiling. She was frowning. "What the hell am I still doing here? What is holding me back from returning to the manor?" She looked over at Idget. "Do you think I'm just afraid of leaving Hanna behind? And Remy?" Idget moaned and rolled over on his back. Kalli rolled her eyes. "You are no help,"
There came a soft knock on her door. Kalli groaned. "COME IN!" She yelled. The door opened, and Remy stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He strided over to her and sat on the edge next to her. Kalli noticed that he was looking anxious. "What is it, sweety?"
Remy looked down at her and tenderly brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "Ah t'ink.." He paused, trying to phrase what he was going to say. "Ah t'ink Remy has feelin's for vous,"
Kalli stared up at him, looking slightly confused. "What do ya mean, Remy?" He looked into her eyes.
"Ever since vous came to 'de Brotherhood, vous have changed mah life. Vous bein' around has enlightened mah heart. Vous are beautiful, smart, funny, crazy, and so much more," Remy said ackwardly. Kalli tilted her head to the side to see Remy clearly. He leaned over her, and placed his hand next to her arm to support himself. With his other hand, he ran it across her face in an affectionate type of way. "Ah know we only met a few days ago, but vous are all Ah ever t'ink about."
Kalli's heart beat quickened slightly. She gazed up at him, searching for something. She found joy and hope and love. Kalli chuckled nervously. "Boy, is this awkward," Remy nodded hoplessly, slowly sitting up and looked away. Kalli reached up and tenderly pressed a palm on his cheek. She felt his anxiety. "Gambit.."
Remy looked back down at her. He stared longingly into her stormy grey eyes. He could tell that she was harboring the same feelings for him. He leaned down and hesitated about an inch from her lips. Remy was waiting for the possible interruption from Hanna, who always seems to enter the room before knocking. Kalli furrowed her brow and leaned up ever so slightly, her lips meeting his for the first time.
"Soo..the Wolverine, eh?" she patted his arm with a cheezy grin.
Wolverine rolled his eyes as Avari strolled along side of him towards the game room. "Yeah, that's right. I'm the Wolverine," He was getting tired of the female who was following him around the manor. He was heading towards the garage to work on the motorcycle he's been putting together for the past week. Logan was afraid that Avari would distract him.
"So, where we heading?" Avari said, walking backwards and facing him. She still had that cheezy grin on her face.
"WE aren't heading anywhere. I'm goin' to the garage. You..well, can go somewhere else and bug somebody else," Logan stated bluntly. Avari frowned at him.
"Aw you're no fun, Wolvie! You're interresting. I like interrestin' people. So, therefore, I like you,"
Logan said sarcasticly, "I'm flattered. And don't call me Wolvie. That bugs the hell out of me,"
Avari salutted. "Yes, sir, Wolvie, sir!" Logan rolled his eyes as they rounded a corner. Avari linked her arm through his with a plastered smirk on her face.
"Hello, Logan," said a voice behind them. They turned and saw Scott staring at them, his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
Logan growled slightly. "What the hell do ya want, One-Eye?"
"I see you've got yourself a new girl to hit on. Maybe now you can leave Jean alone," Scott replied, a nasty tone to his voice. Logan pulled away from Avari, who stared at Scott.
"Cyclops, right?" Scott looked at her, and nodded slightly. "You honestly need to pull that stick out of your ass if you want anybody else around here to like you,"
Scott scowled at her and turned and left. Logan burst out laughing. "Ya know? I think I might take a liking to you after all,"
*~*~*
A/N: Yah..sorry for the dely. Anyway. FLUFFY CHAPTER! While I was writing the end of this, I was thinking about Kurt. Poor Kurt will be hurt in the long-run. Kurt likes Kalli, who likes Remy. Who should I hook Kurt with? And, maybe, I'm trying to pair Logan and Avari up. HAHAHHAHA!! Tell me what you guys think. Oh! One of my friends drew Hanna and Kalli for me, after my request in a letter. I will scan and add the URL to the pics in the next chapter. I think Ewin did an EXCELLENT job!! ^_^
