Disclaimer: I don't own any of the x men characters. But I do own Rune
(teehee I control her yay!) oh and Chris Mant and his gang are also mine!
Heheh god I'm so evil.
Two days later they were shacked up at a cheap chain hotel down the street
from the black and green club. Looking out the window Rune watched people
walking up and down the street. A door slamming shook Rune out of her
reverie, as Logan walked into the room.
"Scott says we're on tonight"
"Good I'm about to go crazy in this room" Rune got up and grabbed an apple
and rolled between her fingers. Dropping it she picked it up then put it
back on the kitchen bench.
"Whose gonna be on the inside with me?"
"All of us"
"Is Storm gonna wear a wig?" Rune turned to face Logan sitting on the couch
"No, why would she"
"Her white hair it's too noticeable and inside the club it'll be even
worse"
"I'll tell her to wear a hat" Logan replied dryly.
"Oh and tonight I'll need you to keep your distance" Logan looked at her
"Is that a request?"
"Yes"
"Why?" Logan asked his voice getting harder by the minute
"Because if anything goes wrong I want all of you to get out then and
there" Rune sat next to Logan "Promise me Logan" he didn't look at her
"Logan"
"What?" annoyed he looked straight at her and was shocked to see real fear
for him
"Promise me" begrudgingly Logan nodded "Thank you" Rune smiled and got to
go when Logan grabbed her wrist. Pulling her down he kissed Rune gently on
the lips. Pulling back slightly Rune looked at Logan's eyes then he hugged
her tightly to his chest. She could hear his heart beat.
"It's okay Logan I won't be going anywhere"

That night Rune wore tight fitting black pants and a silver halter neck
top. Jean and Storm wore similar clothing and Storm had her white hair
tucked neatly under a hat, on Rune's insistence. Logan and Scott wore dark
clothing and both looked slightly menacing. At the door Rune flicked her
hair back as the bouncer eyed her and the others and then looking at him
with a smile, he noticed her green eyes.
"Alright you and the ladies can go in but you male friends will have to
wait in line" sending a warning glance to Logan she smiled and nodded.
"That's okay bad luck guys" she smiled reassuringly at Logan and followed
Jean and Storm inside.

Inside the club grunge play loudly over the speakers and strobe lights
flashed. Grabbing onto Jean's arm she motioned for her and Storm to go to
one of the small tables just off the dance floor. She herself walked over
to the bar. Sitting down she glanced at the bar tender, it was a woman with
black hair and green eyes like Rune herself except she was taller than Rune
and had a red streak running down the back of her hair. There was also a
man who was bald but had a black goatee and green eyes. He was Rune's
height and quite muscular. Rune let her hair fall in front of her eyes.
"What can I get you?" Rune heard a woman ask her. Slowly she looked up and
smiled
"I want a bloody drink!" Rune yelled smiling while the other woman gapped
at her.
"Rune oh my god! I thought you were dead!"
"Far from it Minny!" Rune grinned at her old friend "Listen I need to talk
to you and Brian about something about Black and Green" Minny nodded "Oh
and" Rune leaned in closer "keep my presence quiet okay" Minny nodded "I
come over and talk to you as soon as I can get off" Rune gripped Minny's
forearm in an old friendly gesture and then walked back to Jean and Storm.
Leaning in close so they could hear Rune told them what was going on. Soon
Minny came over with a tray of glasses.
"Sorry about this but Chris has spies right through this joint so if you
want to keep quiet I have to pretend I'm working"
"That's fine Minny"
"We can't talk now but come to my place tomorrow afternoon, Brian will be
there"
"Where is your place?" Rune asked
"At the end of Elle Street, right next to the old warehouses"
"See you there" and with that Minny left
"Where's Elle Street?"
"Not far from here" looking around Rune scanned the crowd "I'm going to see
who else I can spot stay here" getting up Rune walked onto the dance floor.
Soon she was pressed against some guy who was grinding away while trying
(and failing) not to seem obvious when he stared at Rune's chest. Carefully
Rune looked at the faces in half-light. Looking across the room a strobe
light flashed across a face she thought she recognised. She saw the face
again. It was coming towards her. Carefully ditching her dance partner she
tried to get through the crush to get back to Jean and Storm. She felt two
hands grab her shoulders.
"Play nice Rune and you won't get hurt" Looking around Rune saw four men
surrounding her. It was hard to tell if they were a part of Black and
Green.
"Take her out the back" one of the men said then to Rune "Don't cause a
fight now" seeing no other option Rune nodded. She would comply for the
moment. Looking around she tried to catch Storm or Jean's eye but she
couldn't see them.
