Protests and Premonitions
Thank you all who reviewed, and the suggestions will work themselves in. thanks a ton! Here it goes! ************************************************************************
"Why have you asked to see me?"
"I have seen a threat in your future, as well as the futures of all mutants," the mutant known as Irene told the master of magnetism.
They were in Magneto's warehouse along with the other Acolytes listening intently to the blind woman's visions of the future. She would never come to see Magneto under any circumstance, as she hated the man as much as Mystique, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Especially if the tragic future she saw was centered around the girl who was like a daughter to her, Rogue.
"What have you seen?"
"A boy, he holds the potential to destroy thousands of mutants in the future, including you."
"Alright, lets just say we go down and have an old fashioned BBQ like in the outback, and that'll be the end of that bloke!" a fire-loving henchman of Magneto interjected while raising a flame into his hand.
"No! If there is any suspicion that a mutant was involved in this, the effects of this will be more devastating," Irene replied.
"You can see the future, what do you suggest we do?" Magneto asked, annoyed at the fact that another mutant knew more than he did.
"The Rogue is the safest assurance we have for a secure future."
"You talkin' about that vampire Sheila?! Damn! What makes you think she'll come with us?" the Aussie blabbed, but was soon shut up with a hit to the back of his head by a stern looking Russian saying "shut up". The Aussie looked back at Irene muttering about damn Russians and having ice stuck up their butt.
"She will come, take away what she holds dearest to her, and she will come," Irene sighed, almost ashamed of herself for what she was revealing, "threaten the only family the girl has ever known, and she will come."
"And if she refuses." Magneto began to ask.
"She won't, she made that mistake before."

"Yer sayin' ya want me an' Remy ta go ta a mutant protest rally?!!" Rogue asked in disbelief. "Ah'm sorry professah, but that's a death trap!"
"No Rogue, I believe you two to be very capable of yourselves, I have complete confidence in the both of you," Xavier said crossing his fingers in front of his face.
"Mon ami, what are we suppos' ta do at dis place?" Remy asked with the same confusion as Rogue.
"I simply want you to survey the area, find a crowd number. Remy, with your empathy I want you to tell whether the bystanders support the action or not. But most of all, I want the both of you to keep your eyes open for Magneto and his Acolytes. I have no doubt that they will show up and stop the event."
"Then why shoul' we trah ta stop em'?" Rogue asked.
"Because if mutants are to be accepted, we must not fight others. It would be seen as an act of terror, and if my suspicions are correct about Magneto, he will be there."
"Remy don' like dis non professor," he sighed and ran his hand through his hair with frustration, "but you never led Remy de wrong way befor', he'll go. Chere?" he asked as a smile played on his lips looking at Rogue.
She looked away from them both torn between the decision, when Professor Xavier asked in Rogue's mind, "I could always ask Jean to accompany Remy to the protest."
"When do we leave?" she said a little too eagerly but stared straight into Xavier's eyes.
"As soon as the two of you are ready, the protest is in New York City and begins in two hours from what I have gathered."
Remy and Rogue nodded and walked out of the office and towards the living room. "Well, this should be fun, no chere?"
"Oh yeah, jus' mah ideah of a great tihme, helpin' people who hate us."
"Could be alotta fun later chere, we could spend some of de professor's money in de city," Remy pointed out.
"Since when did ya evah need his money Cajun? Yer a thief."
"True, so ye sayin' we could have a good time anywhere, huh chere?" he said winking at her suggestively.
"Don' worry sugah, ah'll prolly get killed there befor' ah have ah good tahme with ya," she said dripping with sarcasm and a smile working a way to her face to tease him.
Smirking at the comment, Remy grabbed four packs of cards and his trench coat and followed Rogue to the garage. "Remy like de view chere, he coul' get use to it, no?"
"No! Now get in tha car!"
"No chere, Remy don' like cars, we ride in style," he said making his way to Logan's bike.
"He'll kill us Remy!"
"If you afraid chere, we can take the jeep," he said pushing all the right buttons to get her to do what he wanted.
"Ah'm not scared!" she grabbed the helmet and hopped on behind Remy.
"Good, hold on chere, Remy gonna take you places you only dream of before," he said suggestively. Rogue rolled her eyes and was about to snap back but the bike took off in full speed as she held on for her life.
End of chapter 2! But there will be a ton more romy, so don't worry. And some cool new things with Rogue's power.
