"What exactly are we looking for?" asked a drained Lance, they had been walking for sometime in the woods and it was starting to get irritating to watch Pietro speed back and forth. Again Pietro zoomed back to them and grinned, running around then quickly. A small wind started to pick up as his momentum increased, causing dirt and little twigs to hit them.
"Dammit just go on ahead Pietro!" groaned Lance, quickly getting dizzy from his friend's exercise.
Pietro quipped, "Ahh but what am I looking for?" For once he paused and looked over to his sister.
"We're looking for Marie!" Wanda shrieked, tired of their useless antics. 'I don't know why I enlisted them, they aren't saving time.' Wanda looked over the group once more, before deciding how much time she had actually wasted with
'creating a bond with her teammates'.
"Whose Marie?" Fred asked confused, scratching his head slightly. The rest of the Brotherhood asked similar questions, which made Wanda pause in her step and turn back to look at them. 'So Roguey never told them eh? Sorry partner but I guess I'll have to tell them your little secret.'
"Marie is your old member, the Rogue."
"Hey! This isn't funny shit Wanda! First off we never had a member by the name ~the~ Rogue but we had a family member who did go by ~Rogue~!" Lance yelled, pissed off at her sense of humor. The rest of the members grunted in agreement with their leader.
Wanda looked hysterical, "A joke? You think I ran my ass around for five hours with YOU for a joke? If I had been lying why in the hell would drag it out this long? I DON'T JOKE! I AM SERIOUS, IF YOU DON'T HELP ME FIND HER THEN I SWEAR BY ALL THAT IS HOLY YOU SHALL REGRET IT!"
By now she had worked herself up and had red flame surrounding her, and a fire encircling the guys.
"If you are really telling us the truth then let us out!" Fred offered as a peace treaty.
"Yea yo! Once a member of the Brotherhood ALWAYS a member of the Brotherhood!" Todd encouraged. The others started chanting along with him until Wanda relented and allowed them out of their fiery prisons.
Pietro was the first off, zooming down the dead path. The rest of the group was doomed to follow him, unable to slow him down or catch up. He glanced side to side for any clue as to where Rogue had gone or stumbled. He saw a glint of sliver and stopped dead in his tracks. Going over he picked up the tiny little charm and swung it into his palm.
It was a necklace, very inexpensive yet intricate piece was tired onto the black jewelry rope. It was a silver ring; many little lines of metal swirled together to form on joint piece on the band where a gem lay. Pietro shrugged at the necklace and threw it around his neck. He heard quick footsteps and a little quaking of the ground (Freddy running would have to cause a little vibrations!). Quicksilver cast a glance around the area and saw something twitch, moving clover he noticed a hand protruding from a branch. He was about to touch it but the rest of the Brotherhood arrived to see him squatting over a bush.
"What'cha looking at?" Todd asked, flicking his tongue out at a nearby fly. Pietro stood up and ever so slowly turned towards them. Wanda went pale at what she saw around his neck. 'Why is he wearing that and where did he get it?'
"You guys I think I found Rogue."
~~~ On The Road ~~~
Logan picked up his communicator and looked at it. Personally he would rather just go into the woods and find Rogue herself but the smell of the brotherhood was just too great in the surrounding area. He couldn't chance that they were also in the forest, he may be strong but he knew he wouldn't be able to beat all of them. Sighing he placed pushed the on switch.
"Jean, Cyclops I've got something here. Head over towards the path in the park near the mall; Logan out."
"Ok Logan, we're heading your way. Jean out."
"Same here. Scott out." He tossed the device back onto his belt. Logan sniffed the air once again and revved his engine. Wolverine inhaled deeply through his nostrils, picking up the scent of Rogue ~and~ the brotherhood, both seemed to increase greatly although Rogue's was older. Pausing at a small entrance into the dense woods he hopped off his bike.
A car engine was rumbling in the background. Logan looked over his shoulder and noted that Jean and Scott must of grouped together before coming. Shrugging it off he headed inside the forest area. 'They'll be able to track their way'
~~~ With Scott/Jean ~~~
"Hey like stop Jean, isn't that bike Logan's?" Kitty pointed towards Logan's discarded motorcycle. Jean slowed down the vehicle to get a closer examination of the bike. It was Logan's bike. She waved over Scott. He paced over to her side and looked to where Kitty was pointing.
"It's Logan's bike, he can't be too far ahead." Jean explained to everyone who had gathered around.
Kurt punched one fist into the other and with a determined look added, "Come on guys, we have to find Rogue!" They grunted their agreement before running down the path of dead plants. A high feminine scream hit their ears and they began to sprint down the anomalous trail.
IF: Who is screaming? Is Rogue awake? What about those two weirdo guys?
Wanda: Whoa slow down yo! OMG I sound like Todd!
IF: ::cackles evilly:: ::receives glare from muse:: ummm I mean uh epp!
Wanda: ::rolls her eyes at IF:: Yea well tell us what ya think, Karma should be up soon.

Wanda: Oh no, that means…

Wanda: Ohhhhh I think I'm ill.
IF: Well rest up, you'll need it! Sorry for the short X-men point, they'll be in if more next chapter!
Wanda: hehehehehe
IF: What?
Wanda: Well most of the time author's are apologizing for not having enough Brotherhood and more X-Man but you did the exact opposite.
IF: harharhar, you know what I should start typing on my computer too~
Wanda: ::mutters to self:: Dammit I gotta know when to quit!
