Chapter two
She watched the two guys from the corner. She quietly sipped her drink. The bartender had tried to cut her off, and he had been surprised to find that all the alcohol she had been drinking had not affected her yet. She prided herself on the idea that she could out drink almost any person she ever came into contact with. The negative aspect of this though was the fact that it took a hell of a lot of money to get her drunk, which is exactly where she wanted to be. She reached in the pocket of her leather pants and retrieved the cash she had on her. She had barely enough to cover her current bill. She looked over at the guys who were playing pool. They were her age maybe a little older. They looked like your typical rich frat guys. The blonde set up his shot and missed. She decided that if she really wanted to get drunk she would have to have a little fun.
"You call that a shot!" She yelled loudly at the boys.
"I suppose you can do better." She stepped out of the shadows, and the boy gapped. She looked like one of those vixens that you see in the movies. She was decked out in black leather low-riders, and a red shirt. It showed just enough of her figure and skin to get a person going, but enough clothing to remain mysterious.
"Hi, I'm Jeremy." The blonde said offering his hand. She ignored it.
"Wanda. I have 200 dollars that says I can do a damn better job." She replied, sitting on the edge of the pool table.
"Interesting proposition, lets see the money." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a load of cash. This was almost going to be too easy. She looked down. He scoffed, "You don't have any money, do you?" She shook her head. "Well, never mind then, who is stupid enough to make that huge of a bet when the other person has no money? Now if you'll excuse us, my friend and I were playing a game."
"No problem," she said running her fingers through her shoulder length hair. He turned around, and she made her move. She ran her hands up his back and around his waste. She moved her head next to his. "I think I can give you something worth more than 200 dollars." She whispered in his ear, kissing his earlobe. "Whaddya say, love?" She said running her hands further down his body, and placing them on his pockets. She spun him around and laced her fingers through the belt loops on his pants. She pulled him so close he couldn't get any closer. "Can little Jeremy come out and play?" His friend nearly spit out his beer at the site in front of him. Jeremy pushed her away. To him she didn't look like a pool player.
"You're on."
"I'll break." She said in her flirty tone. She had been right. This was far to easy. He quickly and nervously placed the balls on the table. He stood back and watched. She bent down and took aim. She looked up at him and blew him a kiss. A few moments later all the solids were gone, and she had won the game. He had not even gotten a chance to go.
"That's impossible." He said gawking at the table.
"Highly improbable." She corrected smiling. She went for the money.
"Hey sweetheart, how about double or nothing?"
~~~~~~~~
The three x-men walked into the bat, and at first glance. It looked like your average young adult type bar. It looked pretty empty considering it was really late at night. They quickly found a table and sat down.
"Do you two want anything?" Scott asked them.
"Scott, we're on a mission. I don't think we should be drinking." Jean stated.
"Scotch on the rocks." Rogue said almost at the same time. Jean looked at her strangely. "What?"
"Are you sure you never absorbed the Cajun?" Scott asked her laughing. Rogue never touched him skin to skin. She had said she respected his privacy to much to enter his mind, but it was still amazing how his attitude still wore off on her.
"No, Ah didn't." She stated bluntly.
~~~~~~~~
Jeremy went first with a look a sheer determination etched on his face. He glanced up at her first, big mistake. She smiled at him seductively, and he ended up missing what should have been a sure shot. Wanda walked around the table looking for her best shot, and in only two more turns she had easily beaten him.
"Sorry, love," she said, reaching for the money. He grabbed her arm before she could get to it. His face got this violent glaze on it.
"I don't think so. You cheated."
"Come on a bet is a bet."
~~~~~~~
Scott came back with Rogue's drink.
"That looks like a pool room back there." he said nodding toward it.
"I don't like this. We know nothing about this person, and we're just sitting here waiting for something to happen." Jean replied.
"Thank ya, Mr. And Mrs. Obvious." Rogue piped up. They looked at her, most of the night she hd acted like she didn't understand any thing that was going on. Their thoughts were interrupted by a crash coming from the pool room. All three looked at each other before running towards the back room. Scott looked down and saw a waitress, who had tripped, sending her tray crashing down around her.
"False alarm," he said. He then surveyed the room. His eyes stopped at the site of a young couple arguing. He couldn't hear what was being said, but the boy looked awfully angry.
"You should know that by acting like a slut you can ruin any guy's chance at a decent pool game." He finally yelled at her. Her eyes got small and full of rage. She quickly fought her urges to hex him into next week.
"I won far and square, love. Four hundred dollars."
"You cheated! You used your body to seduce me, make me a bad pool player so you could make a few bucks."
"I watched you. You weren't that good to begin with. Didn't have to do a thing." She scoffed.
"You're not taking my money. You cheated." He said finally taking both of her arms in his hands and holding her tightly. Scott saw this, and before he could call out to Jean to have her knock the guy out, he saw the girl duck and spin out of his grasp. The boy was startled, and never saw the girl's kick coming. She power kicked him directly on the chest and sent him flying in to the wall. The guy got up really quickly and ran out with his friend.
"That's why they call it hustling." Wanda said to herself quietly. She grabbed the money. Scot couldn't help but watch the girl. He had yet to see her face. The waitress and themselves had been the only people to see what happened. The girl then walked out the other side of the pool room and over to the bar.
"Listen," she said to the bartender as she reached in her pocket for the money she just won. She slammed it on the bar in front of her.
"Don't you think you have had enough already?" He asked her interrupting her.
"You shouldn't interrupt people when they are talking. It is rude. Here is your damn money. I want you to serve me until either A) I tell you to stop or B) I pass out. Got it?" He nodded and served her a shot of what she had been drinking all night. She gulped it down fast. "Keep it coming."
Scott, Rogue, and Jean were all in agreement. They were not even going to attempt to talk to the girl until she had calmed down. They sat back down at their table and watched the girl drink away. They had no idea how she could still be standing, but they could hear her speech starting to slur like she was tipsy. She called the bartender over again.
"Do you know what is more rude then when people interrupt you?" The bartender shook his head. "When people fucking stare at you for a half hour!" She yelled spinning around and looking directly at the three x-men. Rogue gasped. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Scott is that..?" Jean asked as Scott nodded his head. He could see some amount of rage filling her eyes at the sight of her old enemy.
"Wanda calm down." He said to her softly.
"You have got to be kidding me?" she said to herself. "Why would I need to calm down? I'm here just minding my own damn business, drowning my sorrows in some fine redneck liquor, and you look at me and bother me like I'm the one with the problem." Scott could see that he upset her, but also that she did need to calm down. He has seen what her powers can do when she is in a rage, and if she was drunk then she wouldn't be able to control them. The large tv in the corner had begun to spark and other things shake.
"Jean," he said.
"On it," she said placing her hands o her temples, straining to get into Wanda's mind. "She's got mental blocks."
Wanda saw what Jean had tried to do, and this just angered her further.
"Don't fuck with me. If memory serves me correctly, I kicked all your asses, single handed."
"I've had a power surge since then." Jean said in a threatening manner hoping to scare the girl.
"So have I." Wanda said in a smug response. She then turned around and continued to drink, and while her mood had calmed, the objects in the room had not. Scott looked at Rogue who was already gone. He glanced back at Wanda in time to see her fall passed out from her chair, and Rogue standing over her with an ungloved hand.
"What now?" Jean said.
"I guess we'll take her back to the institute." Scott said picking Wanda up.
AN: I hope that was long enough. I just want to thank my reviewers so far. I also want to warn them that I am a college student so to chapters coming out this close together will be a rarity. Any one who has been in college knows that there is almost a cycle to college work. You won't have that much to do and then you will have tons of tests and papers in the same week. I will try to update as often as possible probably once a week, unless it has been particularly chaotic.
Damn-my-name-was-taken : Depending on how much time I have to work on the chapter will determine its length. I always dislike reading short chapters so I will try to make them as long as possible. There will also probably a slight cliff hanger every chapter. I have to keep you guys coming back. You may think the accents are alright now, but I am from Tennessee so I can do a southern accent. It is gonna be horrible when Gambit comes along.
Mysterious Moonlight - The new recruits are still at the mansion. It kind of a circle of like lion king thing. The new recruits are in the highschool roles filled by the other x-men during the run of the show. There are also new new recruits. I won't write to much about them, because I suck and they will all end up big Mary Sues.
stAte : Dude I am so gonna fix that. I have been writing far to many english papers in perfect words.
