Chapter 12: Arms and the Answer
I own nothing and I'm not too thrilled about it, so let's just drop the subject, shall we? And as a side note I would just like to say that no I didn't die! School started up again and all my free time just went- ziiiiiiip-out the window, DAMMIT! But fear not, for I have no intentions of abandoning this story or any other of my stories.
-And now, let's pick up where we last left off-
"Oh-uh-Victor-I don't know," said Storm rather hesitantly.
"What's not to know?" asked Victor.
"I mean-I-" stammered Ororo.
"Yer stallin'," purred Creed chuckling.
"Yes, but-I just don't want you to feel pressured to-" Storm trailed of, "just because I'm-"
Victor sighed, "I don't do things because I have to; I do things because I want to."
Storm took the pen and the paper-then froze.
"Now what?!" asked an exasperated Vic.
"I need a second opinion," said Ororo dismissively.
"A second opinion?!" Victor was dumbfounded, "From who?!"
"I don't-OW!" Storm rubbed her side.
Victor laughed, "There's your second opinion."
"I guess I can't argue with that," Ororo said smiling as she signed the marriage license she held in her hand, "Mmmph?!"
Victor wrapped his arms around Storm and kissed her for the first time as his wife.
Storm pushed away after a few seconds, "Don't tell anyone," she warned.
"Why?" asked Victor.
"I just don't want anyone to know yet. That's all," Storm looked away.
Victor sighed. He knew she was concerned with the way the other mutants might react, "Alright."
Ororo leaned over and kissed her husband, "Thank you."
Victor tucked the license into the drawer of the nightstand as Storm lay down to sleep and then turned out the light.
"Ugh," Storm groaned rolling onto her side.
"You alright?" asked Victor ready to spring into action.
"I'm fine," she assured him sleepily, "I just have the Brazilian soccer team practicing during the off season in my stomach."
He laughed as he pulled Ororo into his chest and started to rub her stomach, "Ok, boys, let's give Mom a break."
"I just hope this isn't the beginning of a trend," sighed Storm knowing far too well how much of a hell raiser her husband was.
-------------
Meanwhile Mystique and Magneto headed back to bed, leaving Rogue to sleep on the couch.
Once they reached their room Mystique sank down into the bed, "I can't take many more of these outbursts."
"I know," concurred Magneto, "I can't remember the last time I was this tired."
"Too tired for-" Mystique trailed off, raising an eyebrow quizzically.
"I'm never-that-tired!" said Magneto with a wicked grin.
*click*-The room went dark.
"ERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!" screamed Mystique.
-------------
Rogue jolted awake, "What was that?"
"Ugh, Mystique and Magneto are at it again," groaned Toad as he headed for the coffee maker.
"Damn," said Rouge settling back into the couch, "and Ah thought Kitty and Colossus were loud!"
Toad couldn't help but smirk when Rogue wrapped a throw pillow around her head as Mystique and Magneto got increasingly louder.
------------
Later that morning the boys woke up slowly on John's bed. It started with a thin stream of sunlight coming through a gap in the heavy, navy blue curtains-the beam was hitting John in the eye, naturally he rolled over, only by doing so he rolled on top of Bobby.
Bobby in his mostly unconscious state figured John was Rogue and started to stoke "her" hair.
"Mmmmhhh?" John didn't find this gesture to be so out of place, generally Mystique woke him by gently stroking his hair, "Time to get up already?"
"Damn, Rogue, when did you cut your hair and since when do you have a cold?" asked Bobby.
There was a pause-
Both boys' eyes shot open-
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
------------
"What the hell?!" Rogue sat up on the couch again and looked around.
She didn't see any one.
"Well, Ah'm up now," she sighed as she padded over to the refrigerator.
She opened the door and grimaced at the left-overs staring her in the face.
SLAM!-Rogue threw the door shut before she gagged.
"What's this?" Marie peeled a note off the door.
It read as follows:
Went to change the oil in the helicopter and give it a tune up.
Back later,
Toad and Sabretooth
PS-And for the love of everything unholy do not under any circumstances go near Magneto and Mystique's room. They generally go for a quickie after they wake up and they'll kill anyone who gets in the way!
Rogue put the note down and headed down the hall to check on Storm after that "little" out burst last night.
-------------
"DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK?!" exclaimed Bobby shoving John off of him.
"DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK YOURSELF?!" yelled John wrinkling his nose in disgust.
"DUDE, I thought you were Rogue!"
"DUDE, I thought you were Mystique!"
"DUDE!"
"DUDE!
There was a pause-
"This never happened," said Bobby cautiously.
"Damn straight it didn't," said John backing away from the bed.
"Wanna go watch football?" asked Bobby.
"Sounds like a plan," said John.
-------------
knock, knock-Rogue wrapped lightly on the door, ½ hoping Storm was still asleep.
"Come in," came Storm's voice.
Marie breathed a silent sigh of relief and thought, "At least it sounds like she's in a better mood."
Still Rogue entered cautiously and much to she surprise she found Storm combing her hair at the vanity with a huge smile on her face.
"Uh, Storm are you alright?"
"Yes Rogue, I'm fine." said Storm, "Why?"
"Oh, Ah just wanted see if you had had breakfast yet." Rogue said coyly.
"Oh, yes, Vic and I had breakfast earlier." said Storm, "Did the note he left say when he was coming back?"
"Um, no it didn't," said Marie taken by surprise at Storm's question considering last night she couldn't seem to get far enough away from him, "whahy?"
"No reason," said Storm listlessly.
Marie just shrugged it off and chalked it up to hormones. "Ah, swear you two are startin' to act like an old married couple.
"Married?!-W-Who said anything about married?" said Storm defensively, "That's ridiculous!"
"It's just a fig-yah of speech." said Rogue giggling, "It's not like he proposed and you said 'yes'."
Storm's smile faded.
"Oh mah GAWD!" Rogue stood there staring wide eyed.
Storm spun around, "Rogue you can't tell anyone!" she warned in a severe tone.
"Ah promise. Ah won't tell anyone!" said Rogue excitedly, "Now Ah want details!"
"Rogue, I think you're going to be disappointed. There's not much to tell." admitted Storm.
"Please!" Rogue begged.
2 min. later-
Rogue arched an eyebrow, "That's it?! The two of you signed a marriage license."
"I know it's anticlimactic, but-Ow!-*they* talked me into it," said Ro a little winded as she rubbed her side.
"Do they kick a lot?" asked Marie.
"All day and night." Ororo gave a weary but content sigh, "See-"
Ororo put Marie's hand on her stomach-
"Whoa-" Rogue jumped at the kick, "they're definitely Sabretooth's."
-------------
Later that day-
All the teens had reconvened in the lab and were for the most part just sitting around (just as a side note Bobby and John weren't making eye contact).
All of a sudden the fax machine went off.
John walked over and picked up a sheet of paper, "Uh, guys yer not gonna believe this-"
"What?" asked Bobby.
"I guess school just started again today and Cyke was nice enough to fax over your homework." John said with a smirk.
"That sick BASTARD!" exclaimed Rogue.
"I know!" said Bobby, "This is technically still a hostage situation and all he's worried about is us doing homework?!"
"He must not think you're in any immediate danger," said John.
"That sadistic mother-" Bobby began as Toad walked in.
"I take it I missed something," said Toad.
"Cyke, faxed over Bobby and Rogue's homework, apparently school started today," explained John.
"Wasn't that nice of him," said Toad laughing.
Rogue crossed her arms, "Gawd, some days Ah whish he'd just point a gun up his ass and fire!"
All three men fell out laughing.
"So?" asked Toad, "What are you going to do to counter act this?"
"Hhhhmmm," Rogue smiled thoughtfully, "Ah have a plan."
The boys looked at each other.
"This won't end well," sighed Bobby.
"Don't I know it," said John recalling his little water trauma.
"Abandon ship," said Toad looking over at the boys, "Women and mutants first!"
