The Truth Hurts
Chapter XI: Bad Boys
By: Michelle
"Alright guys, ten minutes til." Logan yelled around the field. "Head back and get changed for your next class."
Remy watched as the students rushed back to the school. I'm not ready to head inside yet. This was kinda fun.
Logan threw a ball up in the air and caught it. "You want to hit a few before we head in."
"Sure, Monsieur." Remy picked up a bat and stood at home plate waiting for Logan's first pitch.
Logan stared straight at Remy. How about a fast ball Gumbo?
Remy took his first swing. Swoosh.
"Strike one. You suppose to hit the ball." Logan laughed as Remy threw him back the ball. "Not the air."
Swoosh. Remy swung again, only to miss the ball again.
'Strike Two." Logan picked. "Come on Gumbo."
Remy smiled. You son of a bitch. This one is going miles high. He pulled off his trench coat and flexed his muscles in his navy muscle shirt. He walked back over to home plate and glared at Logan with his red and black eyes as he tightened his grip on the bat.
Logan gazed at Remy with the ball in his hand. Try this pitch Gumbo.
Everything seemed in slow motion as Remy made his last swing.
Crack.
^^^^^^^
Ororo erased the board and prepared for her next class. Only a few students had taken their seats. They still had another few minutes before class started. She sat behind her desk and waited for the rest of the students to arrive.
Crash.
Ororo jumped as the baseball shattered her window and knocked the globe off her desk. Logan. She rushed over the window to see Remy and Logan outside with baseball bats and gloves. Those two. Her eyes turned a pearly shade of white.
^^^^^^
"You pissed her off now." Logan looked at the broken window where the angry weather goddess stood.
"What you think she gonna do?" Remy asked as the sky darkened.
"I ain't standing here to find out."
The two of them took off running towards the school as the rain poured down on them and lightening flashed around.
^^^^^^
Remy hung his trench coat on the rack as he and Logan stood at the door soaking wet. Now I know how chere felt last night.
The two split up to go change their clothes. As Remy walked down the hallway, he watched as the students hurried to their next classes. I wonder where Rogue is.
Bobby noticed him coming down the hallway as he and Rogue split to head to their next classes. Damn Cajun. I'll show you. He walked past Remy and purposely bumped into him knowing he was soaking wet.
Remy turned now shaking and full of frost.
"Ooops."
Ooops, my ass. Remy glared at him hard and debated about charging him up. He didn't. Instead, he turned and continued down the hall. Two can play this game.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Later that day….
Remy held a small ball of paper in his hand as he and Logan walked in Storm's classroom with a new glass for her window. She was teaching mythology now, another class Bobby had with her.
Remy smiled at Rogue, who was also in the class as he and Logan proceeded down the aisle between her and Bobby. That's when he dropped the charged paper ball on his desk. Bobby just glared at him as he made his way down the aisle.
"Alright class." Ororo addressed the class. "While Remy and Logan are putting in the new window, why don't everyone pass up their essays due today."
Bobby pulled out his essay and laid it on his desk on top of the unnoticed paper ball.
Pop.
He waved his hands in his face as bits of paper and smoke flew around him. What the hell? He picked up his essay which now had a large hole in it. You son of a bitch. He looked up to see Remy giving him a guilty smile.
Ooops. Remy lipped from the front of the room as he watched Bobby's nostrils flare.
"Bobby, your paper." Ororo asked looking down at him.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Monroe." Bobby explained. "I must have left my revised copy at the computer."
"Hand it to me at the end of the day then."
"Yes Ma'am." Bobby nodded and looked back over to Remy who was helping Logan set the new window in. This means war Cajun.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After classes…
Kurt wrapped his arms around Ororo's waist and kissed her neck.
"So, how was your day?" Ororo sighed feeling his warm breath against her neck.
"Vere should I start?"
Ororo laughed softly. "That bad huh."
"Yeah." Kurt turned her around. "But the ending is good." He wrapped his tail around her waist and kissed her lips. I love you Ororo.
She replied by wrapping her arms around his neck and running her fingers through her hair as the kiss deepened. I love you Kurt.
"Hey Lovebirds."
Ororo and Kurt jumped and pulled apart. Damn Logan. Just scared the shit out of us why don't you.
"What is it Logan?" Ororo asked quite frustrated.
"Chuck wants everyone downstairs." Logan stated. "Something about that debate tomorrow."
"Ve're coming." Kurt grabbed her hand and they followed Logan to Xavier's office.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bobby took a yogurt out of the fridge as he waited for Rogue to get finished with her talk with Jubilee and Kitty. He sat at the table and anxiously opened the yogurt. Mmmm. My favorite. Strawberry and banana.
He rolled his eyes as Remy entered the kitchen. "What the fuck are you doing in here?" He spat thankful none of the other students or teachers were around.
"What? Remy can't have a drink." He answered and took a bottle of Coke out of the cabinet. He took the cap and charged it up. Then, he tossed it at Bobby's feet.
Bobby jumped at the mini-explosion then looked down at his new, now burned tennis shoes.
"Dat's for freezing mon deck of cards." Remy slammed the iced cubed deck in the sink.
Bobby focused on the drink and held out him hand sending a freezing blast to the Coke bottle.
"Oh now you pushed Remy." He said turning the bottle upside down seeing the Coke completely frozen.
Bobby smiled at that remark and took a bite of his yogurt. "What are you going to do? Blow up the Coke bottle." Fucking Cajun. I dare you. I just dare you.
Remy glared at the yogurt and his eyes began to flicker with power as his concentration grew stronger.
Bobby shook his head unaware of what Remy's intentions were. Dumb ass.
Splat.
Remy laughed as he looked at the yogurt splattered all over Bobby's face. Remy good, non.
Bobby wiped his face with a towel and stood up. "Oh, you are getting it now."
"Bring it on." Remy challenged as he dropped the bottle next to the cards.
"Hey you guys."
Both forgot their intentions of killing each other and turned to the hypnotizing beauty standing in the door way.
"Hey Rogue!"
"Bonjour ma belle![1]"
She smiled as the two greeted her. She tucked her white streaks behind her ears. Why were they staring at me like that? She blushed, nearly forgetting what to say. "Ummm, Professor Xavier wants us to go to his office."
Bobby rushed over and wrapped his arm carefully around her waist and proceeded to walk with her out the door.
Rogue turned her head to see Remy still standing in the kitchen. Damn, he looks good without that bulky trench coat on. "You too Remy."
Après vous, mon amour![2] He watched as she faced forward again and followed her and Bobby to Xavier's office.
[1] Good afternoon, my beautiful!
[2] After you, my love.
