yae yang: Well for Jamie you'll have to wait until the next story for a few new characters that are coming in, and Vincent's new power will effect him for the rest of his life.

Eden: crap you mean I've been doing that? Sorry I guess the spell/grammar check keeps missing it, I'll try and do better.

BlackRoseApocalyps: sorry Sinister makes things interesting, plus the guy's immortal, kinda hard to kill. Oh and if you think the FOH need a good butt kicking you're really going to be pissed at them soon.

ENTER DAYTRIPPER

CHAPTER 12: GOOD TIMES GONE BAD

It had been a couple of days since Vincent woke up and the new revelation of his abilities.

Forge was looking for Xavier. He had thought long and hard about this and he wanted to see him. It took in a little while since the place was huge, but found him in the library. Apparently looking through a book but he couldn't see what it was, only that it was old.

"Hey Professor, can I talk to you?" Forge asked him.

Xavier looked up from the old book and placed it on the table. Forge could see it had some kind of drawing in it, also it seemed to be in Japanese, or Chinese, he couldn't tell the difference.

He noticed the Professor looking at him waiting to go on. "Oh sorry, well first off I should be done figuring out that reconbinator with Hank in a few days, so we will know what exactly that thing does and if it can be harmful."

He paused not sure of how to proceed. "Go on Forge." Xavier gently said to him.

"Well I've been thinking a lot, and I was wondering...could I take up your offer and come here?" Forge knew Xavier would say yes, but there was that doubt in the back of his mind that had always plagued him about this.

Xavier smiled up at him, and Forge felt a little easier. "Of course why is it that you wanted to stay though?"

Forge gave a small sigh. "For starters my parents have been great, I mean to them I came back from the dead, but it's not easy for them to care for me now, I mean they're getting close to retirement and I feel like a burden sometimes." She said sadly.

"That and all the friends I have now are here, I mean all my old friends have grown up moved away and have families of their own now. I also feel like I belong here, I don't feel like an outcast like I did back in the 70's trying to hide my mutation, here I can be who I am."

"Well you are always were welcome to come here, and I'm glade you decided to stay Forge." Xavier said to him.

Forge smiled broadly. "Thanks Professor! This means a lot to me." He was about to turn around when he remembered the book. "Oh by the way what is that you're reading?"

Xavier picked up the book and handed it to Forge. Forge looked through the book and was amazed at the images on the pages. If he didn't know any better he'd swear those were mutants.

"Reading might not be the right word, since Vincent or Logan are the only ones that can read or speak Japanese." Xavier said with a small smile on his face. "It's a book that Vincent's old master gave to him, it tells of legends of great warriors with unique powers."

Forge looked up from the book. "You think they were mutants?"

Xavier nodded. "I believe some of these stories could have been influenced by mutants yes, Vincent showed me this book a while ago, and I must say it gives a great example of how long mutants might have been around for all these years, since some of those stories are centuries old."

"Whoa." Forge said.

"Indeed, so why don't you tell the others the good news, I believe most of them are by the pool." Xavier said.

At the pool most of the students were enjoying the summer's day. The boys were mostly in either the pool of having a water gun fight, Jamie wining since he had a whole army at his command.

The girls had mostly seated themselves together in a row sunbathing. While this caused most of the boys were in the pool, at least those that had their girlfriends there stealing glances at their girlfriends in swimsuits.

Vincent had walked out and staked a claim on the ground for a tan. He had gotten over his insecurities of his scars around everyone, since they've all seen them and knew the story behind them now.

Even Amanda who Kurt had told the story too, though seeing the scars and remembering the story still sent chills down her spine that people could do that to children. "It wasn't fare." Amanda said to herself.

Amara who was sitting beside her heard her and looked to where she was looking. "I know, but what in life is fare?"

Amanda turned to her and took a deep sigh, remembering what had happened to her family. "Yeah I guess life isn't fare at times." She said sadly.

"Oh come on girls, don't get all down this is most likely one of the few days when things are going go right and we don't need any negativity." Tabitha who was next to Amara said to them both. "Come on just enjoy the day."

Both girls looked at her then at each other. "She's got a point." Amanda said while Amara nodded her head.

"Good so why don't we sit back and enjoy the show." Tabitha said with that mischievous smile of hers. Both girls looked confused until they saw Rogue come out for the first time in her new swimsuit she got since she could touch again.

They all turned just in time to see Vincent see her. It was amusing to see his jaw drop and just stare at her with his eyes nearly bulging out of his head. Rogue was a little self-conscious at first but the look on her boyfriend's face was priceless.

She casually walked up to him, sat down and with her hand shut his mouth for him. He snapped out of it. "Wow." Was the only thing he could say.

She smiled at him and laid down on her front. "Could ya do meh a favor and put some sunscreen on mah back?"

Vincent looked around for some and quickly got it, he was putting it on his hands when he suddenly stopped. "Whoa, déjà vu. Remember the last time this happened?"

Rogue did remember. She was actually looking forward to it, since the gloves where off, this time for good. She remembered how well she liked someone wasn't afraid to touch her, and thought to how now not only was he her boyfriend but now could do this with bare hands also.

This time she really did enjoy his touch. After he had finished she returned the favor of course and was so glad she didn't need gloves any longer.

Several of the girls were watching this with smiles on. "You know ever since that day I knew there was something that might totally happen with those two." Kitty said.

"Well those two are a nice couple, plus I think she has the right idea." Tabitha said. She reached out to the sunscreen and looked for Sam. "Hey Sam!" Sam turned his head from the others and looked to Tabitha. "Care to give a girl a hand?" She seductively said to him.

At first his face was nothing but a surprise then he got a huge smile plastered on his face and walked over. Several of the girls giggled at Sam's face and of Tabitha's attitude.

FOH BUILDING

Creed surveyed the mercenaries he hired for the job, he didn't want anything leading back to the FOH just in case, and he really didn't want Xavier to find out where his brats were going to be taken too.

He hired himself the beast mercenaries he could find, but three of them would get the harder targets since they were the best.

"Alright listen up." Creed said to them. "The team one will take the target known as Rogue." He saw three men nod their heads, he knew she could be dangerous if she touched them, and since they were never alone, it seemed wise to make sure the numbers were on their side.

"Team two will take the kid, Jamie." Again another group of three nodded their heads.

"That will leave the last three to you three." Creed said to the three main mercenaries. These were the best of the best here, and on most of the world as well.

"Bullseye." He said to a bald man sitting in a chair. He had on a long dark coat with bulls eye on his chest. (AN: kind of a cross between the movie version and the comic version) "I want you to take the Amanda girl." He smiled as he looked at a photo of the girl in a file he was given.

"Gauntlet." Creed said next. A man with a gruesome face with a cybernetic eye looked over at him. "I want you to take the Jubilation girl."

Then he looked at the last of the mercenaries. "Deadpool I want-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" He yelled out as he saw him 'drawing' on his desk with a knife.

Deadpool looked up at him. "What?" he asked innocently. "I got bored and this desk needed some character to it."

Creed looked on the desk and saw a cartoon like figure of Deadpool with lots of guns and lots of ladies surrounding him. Creed looked back at him with full furry. "Do you realize how much that desks costs? WAIT! Don't answer that, just get the wolf girl." He handed him her file.

"And remember we need them ALIVE." Creed said looking at Bullseye and Deadpool knowing their reputations.

"What?" They both asked.

****

A little later that day Vincent thought of how wonderful the day was going and decided to improve it. He already had a few things planned and ready now it was time to call in a favor.

He caught up to Scott in the hallway. "Hey Scott got a minute?"

Scott turned around at him and shrugged. "Sure, what's up?"

Vincent grinned at him. "Remember that...favor...you own me?" He noticed Scott swallow heard and nod his head. "Well I need your car for the night, no questions asked."

"For what?" He nearly demanded but remembered it wouldn't be wise to piss off someone like him, blackmail or no blackmail.

"That's a question, besides if you don't I might just let it slip that-"He started but Scott interrupted him.

"Alright-alright, just be careful with it." Scott groaned.

"Thanks" He said smiling and went on his way to find Rogue. He found her in her room reading. "Can I come in?"

She looked up from her book and smiled. "Sure what do ya what?"

"Well I've been thinking." He said and sat down next to her. "We've been going out for over a month now and I wanted to take you somewhere special for tonight."

Rogue raised an eyebrow, wondering what he meant.

"I want to take you out for dinner, I know this Italian restaurant and I think you'll like it, so what do you say?" He asked her.

She didn't know what to say, this was her first dinner date and did a quick inventory of her dresses. "Ah sure ah guess, it's just that ah'm not sure ah have anythin' to wear."

He smiled at her. "Don't worry you we don't have to go all out, but anything you wear for an outing would be great, plus you'd look great in anything."

She blushed slightly at his comment. "You really do must have a silver tongue don't cha sugar?"

"You know it beautiful." He said leaning in slightly. "So you think you got something to wear?"

She smiled a little at him and leaned in as well. "Y'all just have to wait an see." And planted a kiss on his lips, then she pulled back. "Now git, ah got a lot to do if ah'm goin' to get ready."

Vincent laughed slightly to himself. "Alright I'll see you later."

The rest of the mutants were a little bored, some of them were in the rec room some watching the TV, okay they were arguing about what to watch.

Amanda and Kurt were sitting together on the roof, even since she could teleport it was one of the few places in the house where they could both get to and not have to worry about being interrupted.

"I like this, it's nice up here." Amanda said to Kurt. They were currently leaning against each other's shoulder and Kurt had his tail wrapped around her waist.

"Ja I know, I come up here vhen I need some peace and quiet or just to be alone, and now a place to be with just you." Kurt said to her.

"That's so sweat of you Kurt." Amanda said she hugged him slightly and after a few minutes of silence she spoke up again. "You know we should go out and do something."

"Really like vhat?" he asked her.

She shrugged. "Just anything, we've been sitting in here for the past few days and I think some of the others could use something to do."

Kurt had to agree, some of them could need a day out. "Vell let's see what some of them vant to do zen." They then both teleported back inside the mansion.

They rounded up some of the other that didn't either already have plans or were already gone. They got Rahne, Jubilee, Bobby and decided they could go to the mall for something to do.

Kurt was in the driver seat of the van being the one with the license to drive alone. Amanda was next to him and the others were already in the back.

"Hey where are the others anyway?" Jubilee asked them.

Bobby though of where the others where and then recounted what he knew. "Well Jamie, Ray, and Roberto went to the park, Scott and Jean are doing something, Kitty was doing something on the computer and told me she was busy and Amara, Tabitha, and Sam are in the rec room teaching Amara the finer arts of pool."

"Tabitha and Sam play pool?" Amanda asked.

"Oh yeah they do it all the time together, it one of the things they like to do as a couple since they're both into it, not to mention really good." Jubilee said to her.

"Vell are ve all ready?" Kurt asked them, when he got a chorus of yeses, he took off to the mall.

Unfortunately they didn't notice that they where being followed there by several people.

****

It was just after 6:15 when Vincent went to Rogue's room to get her for their date. He was wearing some of his better clothes, basically a dark shirt tucked in, and a pair a deep blue jeans. When he knocked and the door opened, and his jaw dropped.

She was wearing long black boots, a gray skirt that went down to past her knees with a slit on side. She had on a black top and a purple scarf around her neck.

"Wow you look great." He managed to say. "Oh and here." From behind his back he produced a few long stem red roses he had gotten earlier that day.

Rogue was slightly speechless and took the flowers. "Thanks." She said looking at them. "Ah see the thorns were taken out."

Vincent smiled. "I thought it more appropriate."

Rogue looked a little confuses then remembered that day when he held her that time and what he said to her. [AN: see Enter Mayhem Chapter 17]

She shook her head wondering how she could have forgotten that. She was glad he had a photographic memory. She went to place them in something in her room and they were off.

They got outside and Rogue was surprised that he went to Scott's car and pulled out the keys for it.

"How did ya get Scott's car, he nevah let's anyone take it." She asked.

Vincent just smiled at her as he went to open the passenger door for her. "Let's just say...he owned me a favor."

Little did they know they were being watched, for across the street a van was parked out front. "There she is one of our targets." One of the men said.

"Looks like she's going on a date with one of the others." The guy next to him said.

"Hey Spencer!" The first one yelled up front who was driving the van. "The red car that pulls out, follow it."

"Got it." They heard him say from upfront.

"I'm going to see what the files that Creed guy gave us on the other one so we know what we'll be up against." The other said looking trough the laptop next to him.

NEXT UP CHAPTER 13: TAKEN

The mercenaries strike in the next chapter will they succeed, who will be taken, find out next chapter...(man did that sound a little too much like the old Batman TV series or what?)

Oh and remember to review please!
