Hey Peeps!
YAY! I'm so glad you guyz liked the coffee bit and I got so many questions and guesses about the cat. (which means I got a lot of reviews)
Hehe! *Claps hands together in happiness at all the reviews*
Hope you like this chapter but first I have some review questions to answer. I didn't answer them all. Only the ones with questions but I love you all and if I ever get a school week that doesn't have a test to study for then I'll totally reply all that write.or will try.
Thanx for everyone who reviewed.
Oh and btw I suggest you all read my review answer for keebler-elmo incase some of you may have had the same question but didn't ask. This explains why Xavier can't contact Kitty and Rogue telepathically. Thanx so much keebs for thinking to ask. :P

Sarah-Crysala-Thanx for the review. Glad you liked the last chapter. I'd tell you where the cat came from but I'd have to Kill you..lol, I'm just playin with ya. I'd tell ya but it'd be pointless cause you're going to find out in this chapter anyways. I agree with you fully about Rogue's tendency to Keep reviewing.
Ishandahalf- haha. Yes everyone seemed to enjoy the coffee bit. I was hoping they would. I luv ur quick like a bunny on crack analogy. Would you mind terribly if I used it as a quote said by one of the characters in possible future chapters? Just wondering. No pressure. Thanx for reviewing.
keebler-elmo- Okay I was waiting for someone to ask this question. Okay I hope others are reading this as well so I don't have to repeat. Well it's like this; Xavier can't contact someone when they're unconscious. (Turn of the Rogue) and when Rogue was awake he was busy with the rioters. Jean saw Rogue when Rogue was awake though. But Jean doesn't have as much power as Xavier telepathically so she couldn't contact them, only see them. Kitty just woke up as well so he couldn't contact her either. Plus they both kept drifting in and out of consciousness because of the drugs. As of now the girls are too far away now and Xavier can't contact them because of the distance between them. That answer your question?

CHAPTER 9 Marie
"Looks like we have a stow away." Kitty said, walking out of the room Rogue was in and sealing the entrance so her voice wouldn't wake the Goth girl.
The boys all looked up at her from what they were doing, except for Colossus who was now driving, and saw her holding a small cat in her arms.
The teens all stared in surprise at what she had found. All except Remy.
"Where'd ya find that thing Sheila?" John asked, examining the cat from where he was seated with his lighter in his hand.
"She's not a thing, she's a cat." Kitty shot back.
"She?" John asked.
"Yes she." Kitty told him.
"Aw will you look at that? Now Kitty has a Kitty of her own." Pietro mocked, making fun of the valley girl's name.
"Oh like just shut up Pietro." She told him, stroking the kitten between the ears and under the neck as it purred gently in response.
"So does the little ball of fuzz have a name?" John asked.
"Um..well there's no collar if that's what you mean." Kitty answered, checking the feline's neck for some form of identification.
"So it doesn't have a name then?" Pietro asked.
"Yes it does." Kitty said.
Pietro raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"I just don't know what it is. But I'm sure it has a name." Kitty added.
Pietro and John both rolled their eyes.
"What is it with Sheilas and little animals?" Pyro murmured to Pietro who shrugged, not knowing the answer.
"De fille be right. It does have name." Remy said, walking over to Kitty. The other two boys stopped snickering to each other and looked up at Remy.
"And I suppose you know what the name is then." Pietro said with skepticism.
"Oui. Remy did name it after all." He said, scratching the cat's neck while it was still in Kitty's arms.
Kitty, Pietro, and John all stared at him as if his head was on fire.
"What?" He asked, turning back to the boys.
"You named it?" Pietro asked in disbelief.
"Its yours?" John questioned in shock as well.
"Oui, y' got a problem wit dat?" Remy asked, staring at them coldly with his red on black eyes.
"No, no problem mate. Its just..well you don't really seem like the type to be keeping a pet." John said.
"Yeah, you can't even keep Sabretooth under control." Pietro added.
The two boys were trying more then anything to stifle their laughter that was starting to leak out the longer they talked.
"Dat be cause nobody can keep dat man unda control. 'Cept yo' pere o' course." Remy added.
"Well that's because my father is a very powerful man." Pietro said with a certain vanity thinking that he would be as powerful as his father someday.
"Yeah, it must take an awful lot of power to go around blackmailing and forcing people to be your lackeys." John mumbled in an audible tone.
Colossus looked back at the others during the red light at John's comment.
Pietro and Remy both turned their gazes from glaring at Pyro to seeing if Kitty had heard, which she had, and back to glaring at John.
"Whoops. Sorry mates, slip of the tongue." John said Sheepishly.
"You didn't just hear any of that alright Sheila?" John told Kitty who nodded her head quickly.
Being alone in a bus miles away from everyone else with the enemy was starting to make her feel a little more unnerved. She'd feel a lot better when Rogue was awake and with her.
Remy picked up the fear that was starting to get bigger in her and he smacked Pyro on the back of the head.
"OW! What the bloody hell was that for mate?" John asked, rubbing the back of his head.
"Fo' scarin de fille." Remy answered.
Kitty smiled inwardly in relief. At least this enemy was a whole lot less hostile and friendlier then Mystique or Sabretooth.
They were teenagers, just like her..well not just like her but they were still only in their teenage years and for some reason until this moment Kitty had seen them as grown men on the side of icky badness.
"So what's her name Gambit?" She asked, referring to the now sleeping kitten in her arms.
"Oh, her name be Marie." He told her.
"Marie? That's a pretty name. How'd you come up with it?" Kitty asked as the cat started to stir in her arms but only slightly.
Remy shrugged. "Dunno.Guess she jus' looks like a Marie." Gambit told her.
"Really? She looks more like an Angela to me. Or maybe a Tabbitha." John said, laughing.
"Oh Oh wait! I know! Tiffany!..or how about Claire." Pietro said, laughing as well.
Kitty just scowled at them.
"Don't listen to those airheads Remy." She told him, though he never did.
"I think it's like totally sweet that you named her like that." Kitty said.
"Yeah, that's because you're a girl, which means Remy's doing stuff that girls do." Pietro said. The two boys were now practically howling. It wasn't even that funny.
"Yeah, well incase you didn't notice, Remy's the one that's like getting all the attention from the girls around him." She said, referring to the many women at the rest stops, toll booths and other cars during traffic jams that couldn't take their eyes off of him. They were practically drooling over him and he wasn't even paying attention to them.
"And you two haven't gotten a single girl to look your way sense we've started this little expedition so obviously what he's doing is more effective with the ladies then what you two or doing." Kitty glared at them and put her hands on her hips.
The two boys stopped laughing and looked dumbfounded at her.
Remy just smirked at the scene. So the kitty had some spunk in her after all.
Kitty, who was looking satisfied by her speech's effect on the two speechless boys, returned to Gambit.
"She musta gotten outta de back room. How'd ya find her?" He asked.
"Well actually she found me." Kitty replied. Gambit gave her a knowing look. "She be sittin on top o' ya when ya woke up?" He asked, though the tone in his voice told her he'd already known the answer.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" She asked curiously.
Remy smiled down at her briefly. Dat what she does. When people are sleepin she feels de need ta climb up on em an' scare de hell outta dem when dey wake up if she's sittin dere starin at ya when y' open yo' eyes." Gambit explained.
"Oh. Well then be thankful Marie decided to like climb on me and not Rogue. She fell asleep in one of those chairs back there. She's still asleep." Kitty told Remy.
"Why Remy be dankful dat Marie didn' get ta Rogue instead o' you?" He asked with confusion.
"Because she like totally hates cats. I don't know why. She just does." Kitty answered, sitting down on the couch next to Pietro without really noticing he was there. Nor did she care much. She was still tired and she wanted to sit down.
"Why do ya tink she hates cats?" Remy asked.
"Because when we were like on our way to the beach one afternoon she was getting into the car and a cat walked up to her and she was all like "Scat! I hate cats." So yeah, she just does. I don't know why." Kitty explained.
(A/N Yes that was a scene from an X-men: Evolution episode.)
"That would make me believe she hated cats." John said, flicking his lighter off and on.
"Yeah, she hated it when Mystique shifted into a cat when she was living with the Brotherhood." Pietro recalled.
"So if I were you I would be sure to like keep Marie out of site when Rogue wakes up, or else your going to have a dead cat and a very cranky, pissed off Rogue." Kitty told Remy who nodded in understanding at the idea.
The cat started to squirm in Kitty's hold and obviously wanted to walk around like hyper little kittens like to do. Kitty knelt down and put the cat on the ground.
There was a moment of silence when Pietro looked around in puzzlement at his surroundings.
"What is it?" Kitty asked, curious as to what he was looking for.
"Shh! I'm trying to see where it's coming from." Pietro told her.
"Where what's coming from?" She asked, now getting confused at his odd behavior.
"That sound." Pietro said.
Kitty strained her ears and listened for something unusual. She was about to give up and conclude that Pietro was either making fun of how gullible she was or he was just going insane but then she heard it too.
It was like a heavy breathing or a cat purring but it sounded to human for a cat. They looked at each other in confusion and listened again, trying to figure out what the sound was. Suddenly Pietro looked in one direction and rolled his eyes.
"It figures." He said.
"What?" She asked.
Pietro pointed over to where the noise was coming from.
Kitty followed his finger and her eyes landed on John, who was sleeping on the other couch, snoring every once in a while.
"How does he fall asleep so quickly like that?" Kitty asked.
"This coming from sleeping beauty herself." Pietro said, referring to how Kitty had been falling asleep every five minutes the past two days.
"Hey, I got drugged okay. What's his excuse?" She asked, pointing at John.
John mumbled something in his sleep about the Pizza Palace.
"Does he do that often?" She asked Quick Silver.
"Only when he's dreaming. Usually it has something to do with girls." Pietro commented.
Kitty rolled her eyes, though it was probably true.
"Hey, where'd Gambit go?" She asked, looking around the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Remy poked his head inside the room Rogue was sleeping in. He saw her limp form curled up in the chair just as Kitty had said.
He walked over to her, without making any noise, and knelt down beside her so their faces were close.
He wanted to say something to her. He wanted to flirt with her and leave her in thought while she slept. He wanted to annoy her and get a kick out of how riled up she would get. All these things were very easy to do, the only thing that had to be done was to wake her up.
He reached his hand over to her shoulder but stopped it in mid-air, contemplating his moves. For some annoying reason he just couldn't bring himself to wake her. She looked so peaceful and at ease.
If he were to wake her, he would be taking that all away from her and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He had this urge to touch her. Maybe it was because of her powers. Remy had always gone after the challenges in life and a girl deprived of his touch was definitely his kind of challenge.
He settled on just gazing at her for a full five minutes in silence and deep thought, watching her sleep. Her every detail and feature. The way her chest moved up and down slightly as she slept, the white bangs that fell into her face that Remy wanted to brush back, the soft sound of her breathing, all these things he found extraordinary about her for some reason.
He thought about it for a minute and figured that if she stayed asleep in that position for very long she'd have a neck ache or something like that but he still didn't want to wake her.
The Cajun smiled at his own smarts as he swiftly scooped her up in his arms and swung her onto the bed Kitty had been occupying before. He was so stealthy and quick that when he gently placed her warm body onto the bed that she sank into she hadn't even moved or show any signs of being even remotely awake.
He grabbed the hem of the blankets and pulled them up around her body, keeping her warm and comfortable. Her head to her chest was out of the blanket so she could still breathe and Remy could still watch her.
Remy stroked her forehead where her fair bangs were with his gloved hand and kissed her on the top of her head before pulling away and standing up.
He sat down in the chair that she'd been in a minute before and put his feet up on the table near them. Putting his hands behind his head and leaning back, Remy watched his sleeping beauty rest.
He wanted more then anything to beat his challenge right then and kiss her full lips so she would wake up like in the fairytale, Sleeping Beauty.
Unfortunately Remy knew all too well that Fairytales were far from reality so he doubted his sleeping beauty would follow the same rules as the one in the fairytale.
He sighed in defeat as he watched her breathe contently, lost to the world and all of her surroundings for the time being. One question came to Remy's mind as he stared at his beauty. "Why can't fairytales come true?"

"Alright Amara, you and Kurt take the docks and the shipping area. They might try to leave by boat. Storm will be waiting for us in the blackbird while we split up and Jean and I will be looking out for Logan in the place we said we'd meet him at." Scott explained to the small group.
They had finally managed to get in touch with Logan but only long enough for him to give them coordinates of where he was going to meet them. He'd lost the Acolytes a few miles back when they apparently switched transportation and traded their first car for a bus.
Logan wasn't exactly sure how they'd manage to stay out of his site or anyone else's for that matter seeing how the thing they were driving was probably the biggest thing on the partially empty freeway in the town they were in.
"Right. Okay so we'll keep an eye out for Rogue and Kitty, but what about the Acolytes? What if we see them but not Rogue or Kitty? Should we get their attention?" Amara asked the leader.
After a moment of thinking Scott answered. "Yes, but do it as subtle as possible. We don't want them getting paranoid and taking off again while they have Kitty and Rogue with them."
"Alright team, everyone understand their assignments?" He asked.
Everyone nodded a yes, except Orroro who was busy in the front of the jet, steering and conversing with Hank about the mission so far and future plans.
"Okay then, let's show em' how the X-men do it." Scott said.
Kurt gave him a military like salute and grabbed onto Amara's wrist, porting them as close to the docks as he could get.
After the sulfur had dispersed, Jean and Scott took a pair of communicators and a new one for Logan and were on their way as well.
