Chapter 3

/I can't believe I let that Cajun talk me into doing this!/ Rogue was leaning down beneath the stirring wheel trying to remember which wire to cut. She was replying the whole scene in her head from when he pushed her into the car until he told her she trusted him. /Like hell I do! And why does he keep on flirting with me?/

* He's probably telling you those things to like get under your skin. * Not to mention your skin is poison, so there is no point in hoping for something else. /Well I didn't ask you Sabbey./ With a mental push Sabertooth was behind the wall again and it was just her and Kitty.

* That pout of his was like sooooo cute. And the way he said 'You don't think I'm sexy?' A mental image came to her mind of Kitty falling with her hand on her heart and another on her head. Rogue just made a snorting noise in her mind.

* What you don't think he's sexy? * Who does mein schwester think is sexy? /Kurt.../ * Rogue-and Remy-siting-in-a-tree. /Stop that Pietro/ * Stripes aren't you too young to be thinking like that? /Logan!/ * Well she is at that age. /Storm.../ * K~I~S~S~I~N~G.

/Sorry.../ Before anyone could say anything to stop her she pushed them all back. Sometimes she feels really sorry about doing that like right now, but she has to do it and they understand. Thinking back to what Kitty was saying before everyone came in she had to admit she was right. /I would have to be blind not to notice how sexy he is. But it doesn't mean I have to do anything about it./ She gave out a sigh and went back to guessing what wire to cut.

~~~~~~~~

Remy was crouched down behind some boxes listening to what the person in charge was saying.

"This is going to be a surprise attack! We will use all these tanks and cars stored here." The Cajun looked around and spotted the vehicles that he was talking about . /Guess I should do something with them, but how I am going to get to those cars?/ There was no way to actually touch them right in front of the soldiers without being spotted, but he might be able to do something to them from behind that pile of big crates towering over all of the cars. /These people are dumb./

"The mutants haven't left yet and hopefully not attacking has put them into a false sense of security. It seems they are waiting for something, but we have to act fast."

Remy looked over at Rogue and saw that she was working and didn't hear anything that was said. There was a big open space ahead that he needed to go through.

Before he could run though, there was a sound of a car starting up. /Perfect timing./ When everyone's head was turned he ran across to the crates easily jumping over the obstacles that got in his way until he was able to duck behind the tower of crates. /Hope this works./ In each hand he held a couple of charged cards which he threw against the stacks of crates causing them to fall on the cars. More cards appeared in his hands and were thrown at the people coming after him. When they were trying to avoid the assault he ran to the right heading towards the exit when a car barely hit his side. In the driver seat was a very pissed of southern gal. Remy threw some cards behind the car and then got into the passenger seat. The car sped off as soon as he was inside, heading towards the north side of the building.

~~~~~~~~

"Ah was the DISTRACTION!" Rogue screamed at the top of her lungs as she nearly missed a tree.

"Oui, now could yo' watch where yo'r goin'!" The car crashed into some barrels to avoid hitting another car. "Who taught yo' to drive?"

"Logan," she muttered as she stopped the car.

"Merde." To the side of his window was a wall only 1 inch away. "What 'appened to de side window?"

"It broke afta it hit that lamppost 'member? Afta ah jumped offa that ramp." When Rogue looked at Remy he was so pale and the door he was holding onto was changing colors. She was a much better driver than this, but after what the Cajun did he deserved to be a little scared.

"Ya can let go now." Rogue smirked when his eyes widened at what he was doing. He quickly uncharged the door then turned to get out.

"Mind movin'?" There was no way out except going through Rogue's door and it didn't look like she was going to be moving any time soon. He thought of using his powers but she wasn't looking at him. "Yo'r friends be waitin' for yo'."

"That they are." She wasn't moving still.

"Fine." He leaned back against the seat and got an idea. Making his voice sound low and husky he said, "Since we're in a car..." One of his hands moved to her left thigh and started to stroke it.

"Hands off Swamp Rat!" His other hand was on her side, and he started to lean forward. At the same time she moved back against the car door, now looking him in the eyes. Her eyes were wide with surprise and the look he was giving her was making her slightly blush. But before he could get any closer she reached behind her and opened the door falling down on her butt again. Then she scrambled to her feet and moved away as he smugly got out of the car.

"Ya...Ya..." No word seemed right enough. So instead of saying one she walked away.

~~~~~~~~

"So is stripes up there?" Everybody had been waiting 10 minutes for Beast's reply and were beginning to get edgy especially when that freak quake hit them.

"None of you noticed that Rogue was missing?" Scott was talking to everyone trying to find out what they know. It turned out no one paid much attention to her.

"Rogue can take care of herself, yo. So better to look out for ourselves, right?" Whatever he said wasn't the right answer. Both Scott and Logan looked like they were going to tackle him.

[Jean?]

[Yes, Beast] Jean said it aloud and then put her hand to her head to indicate that she was using her telepathy. The others turned to watch her.

[She isn't here, and the others say the last time she was seen was right before the red lights came on.]

[Everyone here have been saying the same thing. Beast you stay up there and tell us if you spot Rogue coming.]

[All right.] The connection ended and she put her hand down. She looked at the others and shook her head.

"Why haven't they sent someone at us for awhile?" Bobby asked. The others got what he meant to say: are they going after Rogue instead or have they caught her?

"Maybe their just planning some sort of all out attack" Storm aid as she was flying in the sky keeping a look out.

"We should stop wasting time standing here and find her!" Logan had his claws out and everyone knew this time they wouldn't be able to stop him from going.

"Find who?" Everyone turned and were met by the sight of Rogue glaring at them.

"We need ta git outa here." She pointed out with a scowl on her face. "And all of ya'll stop staring at mah!"

Jean quickly used her power to tell Beast to land. When she looked at Rogue she could have sworn she looked upset or angry, like something happened. Well something did happen, they forgot her.

Nobody said anything, they would find out later what had happened. After seeing Rogue was fine Logan didn't say a word he just went onboard and sat in front with Beast. Even the others when they piled in were quite, only whispering to one another. No one needed to say anything they all knew what the other was thinking. It was in the way they acted and on their faces. Everyone was feeling guilty.

So when she wanted to sit alone with her head on the window no one said anything about it. She pretended to look uninterested, that she was sleeping or trying to sleep. But really she was scanning the ground trying to find something, and she did. By a car stood a man with piercing red eyes directed upwards. Easy to find if one knows their there. Her mouth twitched but smoothed out suddenly except for one side that tilted up slightly. Because to the side of the Cajun, only 5 feet away, stood a girl with white stripes in her hair looking up at the jet.
