CHAPTER 6
Armed Forces
The four men froze and looked toward the closed door.
"ROGUE!" Kitty shouted again.
The four boys leapt from their seats and raced toward the door. They knew all too well that if anything happened to the two girls they'd have a severely pissed off Wolverine and a psychopathic shape shifter to deal with, which would cause even more problems for Magneto who would naturally blame them. They did not want to face any consequences.
The door flew open and revealed Kitty sitting up in Remy's bed and Rogue lying lifelessly on the floor beside her.
"Merde. What de hell happened in here?" Remy asked when he saw Rogue lying limply on the ground beside the bed.
"Something like smashed through the window. It was a dart or something. I don't know, but it hit Rogue and now." Kitty trailed off at the sound of helicopters circling the building.
"They hit her wit a tranquilizer. Dis many drugs in a femme cant be good fo' her." Remy said.
"Somethin tells me they don't just wanna stop in for a bit of pizza mates." John said, looking up at the ceiling.
"No really?" Pietro asked sarcastically.
"So much for your apartment mate. We've got to bale NOW!" John said, grabbing his lighter off the counter and throwing on his coat.
"Gambit, Pyro is right. We need to get out of here. If we do not then." Piotr was interrupted by the sound of a loud speaker coming on.
"Mutants, we are ordering that you evacuate the premises immediately." The man on the loud speaker said.
"Alright, alright Remys comin." Gambit said carefully picking Rogue up in his arms and carrying her out the door.
Kitty stood up and put her right foot forward but her legs still didn't want to hold her up so she fell into Pietro's arms. She too was drugged when she and Rogue were caught outside.
She blushed furiously when her face landed in his chest and besides her head, she couldn't move.
Pietro looked around and saw that the others were getting set to make a break for it and he was the only one not doing something constructive.
He sighed at the realization that he'd have to be the one carrying the Valley girl.
He sighed exasperatedly again and picked her up bridal style.
Kitty was so taken back by his actions she nearly fell out of his arms but he was holding her securely so he didn't say anything. It was either this or the firing squad out front.
Trust me Pryde, I'm hating this just as much as you so." Pietro trailed off when he noticed Kitty's body had gotten less tense then a moment ago.
He looked down at her and saw that she had fallen asleep in his arms and was out like a light.
Kitty had now entered the stage of falling asleep randomly that Rogue had been in from the drug before the Valley girl woke up.

Rogue woke up and cleared her blurry vision. "Huh? What's goin on? What happened?" Rogue asked.
She looked around and saw Remy rummaging through one of the chests in the closet and taking out various weapons and about twelve decks of cards.
She also noticed Pyro emptying the fridge of it's contents and Piotr was staring at the wall as if judging on how to make the most efficient hole in it.
The men glanced at her before continuing with their tasks.
"Remy what thah hell is goin on?" Rogue asked.
Remy opened his mouth but before he could answer another voice echoed on the loud speaker.
"We're giving you five more minutes to evacuate the premises and surrender before we come in after you mutants." The voice said, answering Rogue's question for Remy.
"Dat answer yo' question?" Remy asked, stuffing a book of matches and a few lighters in with the rest of the stuff in his bag.
"Pretty much.." Rogue said quietly.
"Good. Now Remy tinks we betta be high tailin it outta here befo' de nice firin sqaud decides ta pop in fo' a visit. Remy said, motioning to Pyro to hurry it up with the food.
"Wait! What about Kitty?" Rogue asked, looking around frantically for her friend who was nowhere in site.
"Settle down petite." Remy said, trying to calm her down.
"Yeah cool it Roguey she's right here." Pietro said, walking into the room.
Everyone gaped at the site of Pietro holding a sleeping Kitty in his arms.
"Don't say a word. Not one word." Pietro said, glaring at the lot of them.
"Everybody get ready. Remy gotta go grab sometin." He said, and without another word he left into one of the rooms.
"Uh.question. How exactly do ya'll plan on gettin' outta here? The front door is kinda bein gaurdin bah the SWAT team incase ya haven't noticed. Rogue asked.
"Simple Sheila. We go through the back door." Pyro stated.
"Um.this place doesn't have a back door." Rogue replied.
"Not yet it doesn't." Pietro said, motioning toward Piotr.
Rogue watched as the tall Russian boy morphed into his metallic armor and ran toward the back wall going right through it. He suddenly dropped down and landed in the alley below, making a huge dent in the pavement.
The other three winced and looked down through the hole.
"Maybe we shoulda reminded the bloke that we were on the third floor." John suggested.
"Ya think?" Rogue asked sarcastically.
"Well at least we have a door now." Pietro put in, stepping away from the hole.
"Mon Dui!" Remy exclaimed, smacking his hand to his forehead, coming out of the room. "What have ya done ta Remy's apartment? Remy asked, gaping at the huge hole in his wall.
"Well we had to make a hole. Its our only way out." John explained.
"What a bunch of morons!" Remy exclaimed to himself in his first language.
Rogue wanted to call him on his comment but decided not to. As far as he knew she only spoke English. Little did he know she was just about fluent in French. How could you live in the South just about all your life and not be?
She decided that sense he didn't know, she wasn't going to tell him. The less he knew about her the better as far as she was concerned.
"Got a better idea mate?" John inquired.
"Oui. Remy woulda gone wit sometin a lil mo' subtle like climbin down de fire escape!" Remy said, practically shouting the last five words and pointing to the window in the kitchen.
The other mutants groaned when they saw that there was indeed a fire escape.
"Hey Rem, watcha got in the bag?" John asked, pointing to the bag in his hand.
"Nothin important. Jus' some o' Remy's stuff." He answered.
"Did your bag just move?" Pietro asked.
"Riight, sure mon ami. No mo' boos fo de bosses son." Remy said.
"What ever. I'm just seeing things I guess." Pietro reassured himself and readjusted Kitty in his arms.
"Change of plans mate, we're goin down the fire escape instead. Meet us at the bottom of the ladder." John yelled down to Piotr who threw his hands up in the air in exasperation and started going on in Russian.
"Hey! I heard my name in that mess of foreign jibberish!" Pyro yelled.
"Come on John. We gotta leave now!" Pietro said, speeding down the ladder with Kitty.
"Right behind ya mate." John said, following Quick Silver's lead.
"You comin mate?" John asked Remy.
"Oui. Remy'll be right down." Remy said.
Gambit picked up his other bag and swung it over it shoulder. He then grinned at Rogue and before she could move from her seat on the couch he did the same with her.
"This is so embarrassing." She groaned in a low voice so he wouldn't hear, though he did.
"Oui, but ya look so adorable when ya embarrassed. Specially wit dat blush risin cross yo' face." He commented, his grin widening.
Rogue sighed. "Ah sware if mah friends find out about this yer gonna be one sorry Cajun." She threatened.
He ignored the warning and continued down the rusted ladder.

Logan slowly walked over to all the commotion coming from the coffee house. He saw the police cars and the helicopter on the top of the building. He also saw the man with the loud speaker and could hear the words he was yelling through it from far away.
"Great. Just what I needed." Logan growled.
"Now how in the hell am I supposed to get them outta there with all the uproar goin on around here?" He asked himself.
Just then a group of men came bolting out of the front of the building.
"Well?" The lead man asked them.
"Their gone sir. There was a rather large hole in their wall and it looks as if they may have thought about jumping, but it looks as though they chose the fire escape." One of the other men explained.
"Damn it! Who the hell was supposed to be guarding the fire escape?" The leader asked, annoyed with his incompetent men and the mutants that slipped through their fingers.
"I was sir." Another man said, stepping out of the group.
He was in a uniform that was now blackened and smoldered for the most part. His face was black in some parts like he had been caught in a fire and his spiked up hair was singed and smoking.
"I tried to hold them back but." He stopped and looked out himself, pointing out the obvious.
"Oh of all the." The leader shouted, throwing his hands up in the air in aggravation before walking off to the car.
"I don't know what he's so grouchy about." The burnt man grumbled. "I was the one that came in contact with a pyromaniac mutant."
Logan rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Oh this should be fun. Now we've got the rest of the whole God damned city to look for em in." He said before putting on his helmet.
He started up his bike and heard the engine roar. Then he heard another engine, but not his own. He looked around him and saw two motorcycles and a jeep with the top down. He growled when he saw Rogue and Kitty being shoved into the car hurridly. Rogue was yelling at one of the boys which made Logan very relieved. Just to see that they were okay was enough. He also noticed Kitty's unconscious body.
"Acolytes." He growled.
He would have called after them but decided it was best to just follow them for now incase he attracted a seen. He didn't want anyone attacking the Acolytes while they had Rogue and Kitty.
