Pain to the Acolyte Boys
Kitty and Pietro made it into the bus just as the rain started to pour down in buckets. Pietro, though fast as he was, had gotten drenched while keeping Kitty fairly dry in his arms.
The rain soaked his already tight fitting shirt and outlined his muscular chest, making Kitty blush and gawk every time she got a glance at him.
"Well I see you two got caught in the rain." Piotr said, looking up from his book. He had woken up and was now reading a novel while John slept silently, save for the occasional mumbling in his sleep.
Colossus noticed Kitty looking down at Pietro's chest every few seconds when the boy wasn't looking and she blushed profusely when she was caught, looking away so the tall Russian couldn't see her crimson face.
She noticed that she was still in Pietro's arms. It felt weird, but now it was in a good sort of way instead of the bad weird like before. She had her arms still clinging to his neck so she wouldn't fall, not that he'd actually let her drop.
"Um. . . . Pietro?" She asked.
"Yeah? What is it?" He asked, not looking her in the eyes.
"Do you think you could maybe like put me down?" She asked.
Pietro flushed when he noticed he was still holding her bridal style and he also picked up on the smirk and muffled laugh the Russian had let slip out at her comment.
Pietro regained his cool and opened his arms, dropping her carelessly to the floor. She had chosen that second to let go of his neck so she fell roughly on her butt.
"Like thanks a lot." She grumbled from the floor as the two boys looked down at her.
"No problem." The Speedster said, sitting down on the chair and putting his feet up on the small table in front of him.
Piotr eyed him curiously.
"Well I'm gonna go like see if Rogue is awake or not." Kitty said, walking toward the door to the other room.
"Fine by me." Pietro said in a tone that suggested he couldn't care less if she decided to hurl herself off a cliff at the moment.
Kitty's face flashed a hurt expression at his tone but it was gone in an instant and he hadn't caught it. Piotr however, had.
When she quietly opened the door and stepped in, closing it behind her Piotr raised an eyebrow quizzically at Pietro, staring at him in thought.
"What!?" Pietro snapped at the older mutant's staring.
"Nothing, nothing." Piotr said quickly, returning to his novel.
"Just thought you'd want to be nicer to the girl if you wanted her to like you." He said, not looking up from his book.
"What!?" Pietro asked a little louder then he'd meant.
"Nothing, nothing." Piotr said once more, not meeting eyes with the speed demon.

Kitty slowly peeked into the dim-lit room and saw that it was empty. She then noticed the lump under the blankets on the bed and realized it had to be Rogue.
She slowly and quietly walked over to the bed, about to tap Rogue's form gently to wake her up.
She her hand was inches from the lump when it moved around.
"Gambit get ya filthy hands off meh." Rogue's muffled voice said from beneath the blankets as the lump moved and became to different lumps.
Kitty's eyes widened and before she knew what she was doing she took the hardback encyclopedia and slammed in over the bigger of the two lumps.
"Get off of her you creep." Kitty exclaimed as he hit the lump that was Gambit for a second time.
A muffled grunt and an 'Ow!' could be heard from underneath the quilts followed by a few choice words that Kitty couldn't decipher because they were in another language.
Colossus and Pietro rushed into the room when they heard Kitty's angry and somewhat astonished voice from the other room. They stood behind her and looked at the two lumps she was staring at.
"What's that?" Colossus asked, referring to the lumps.
Before Kitty could answer, the covers lifted off the two lumps revealing a somewhat shocked Rogue and a severely pissed and confused Remy who was rubbing his head. She had apparently gotten him right on the scull both times.
"Did that answer your question?" Pietro asked, smirking.
"Now why'd ya go an' do dat petite? Remy was jus' havin a lil fun." Remy sulked, still massaging his head.
"Yeah well I think you've like had enough fun for a while." Kitty said, raising the book up over her head again.
"Okay, okay. No need t' get violent petite." He said, putting his hands up in defense and climbing out of the bed, leaving Rogue smirking.
Rogue all of a sudden burst into laughter. The others looked at her strangely like she was crazy.
She stopped laughing and saw the dumbfounded looks on their faces, which made her laugh even harder.
"Like what's so funny Rogue?" Kitty asked, confused more then ever now.
After Rogue calmed herself and stopped laughing, she looked up at her friend and took a deep breath.
"Think about it. If Gambit gets all hurt and wimpy when Kitty tries ta hurt him, Ah wonder how he's gonna do when Logan gets to him after all this." Rogue explained.
Kitty grinned along with Pietro and Piotr, who smiled slightly.
Remy however let out a very audible gulp at her words.
"Yeah like he's totally gonna make Gambit into Cajun shish cabob after he finds out what Gambit was doing." Kitty said, giggling at the expression on Remy's face.
"Oh yeah man, I completely forgot about Wolverine. You're gonna die when Roguey tells him what you've been doing." Pietro told his friend, giving him a pat on the back.
"Maybe we shoul' talk bout sometin else now non?" Remy suggested, tugging on the collar of his shirt because of how hot he was getting at the subject of him getting sliced and diced.
"Ah'm gettin' outta this bed and stretchin mah legs." Rogue announced, yawning and reaching her arms into the air, stretching, showing off her midriff.
Remy stared at her until she snapped her fingers in his face, snapping him out of his trance.
"Hey Cajun, didn't anybody ever tell ya, it aint nice ta stare." She said, walking past him and swinging her hips in the process. Remy watched her backside as she left the room and smiled.
"Ah told ya not ta stare Swamp Rat." She said, without even turning around.
Remy didn't look away or blush or anything. He just grinned from ear to ear at her as she retreated with Kitty at her heals.
Pietro let out a long, low whistle.
"Somebody's got it bad." He said to Gambit.
"Yeah, an' yo' one t' talk homme." Remy said, noticing how Pietro too was checking out another certain X-girl.
"What?" Pietro asked as the other two boys smirked at him.
"Yeah so she's a little hot. Anybody with eyes could see that. But it doesn't mean I like her or anything!" Pietro said, storming off into the room where Rogue and Kitty were.

"Alright Kurt, now let's not panic. I'm sure Amara is fine. She's very capable of handling herself in a situation like this." Storm said, though not fully believing herself.
"Zen vhere is she?" He asked, looking across the murky waters.
"I don't know, but we will find her." Ororro said confidently. Her coolness and level-headedness made Kurt feel a little better but not much.
"Great, so now ve've lost Kitty, Rogue, ond now Amara. How could zings possibly get any vorse?" Kurt asked, throwing his hands up in frustration.
A perceptible clicking sound of a rifle being loaded was heard followed by the gruff voice of a man.
"Freeze muties."

"Logan did you find the girls yet?" Hank asked through the link.
"No not yet. Cyclops and Red are both here lookin with me though so that should help." He answered.
"Alright. Well report back if you have any new information and we'll do the same." Hank said over the static.
"Will do." Logan said, ending the conversation and closing his end of the com link.

Rogue and Kitty both stared intently at Pyro's sleeping form.
"What'dya think he's dreamin about?" Rogue asked her friend.
"The boys said he always dreamed about girls when he talked in his sleep so my bet is on that." Kitty answered.
The other three boys sat and or stood in the corner, watching the girls.
"How does Pyro get all de attention from de femmes when de homme ain' even awake!?" Remy asked.
"Maybe you're just loosing your touch 'Swamp Rat'. Pietro said, making fun of Rogue's name for him.
"Hey Speedy, Ah'm the only one who calls him that ya hear?" Rogue said, turning to face the boys.
"Aw chere, Remy didn' know y' cared." Remy remarked.
"Don't get ya hopes up Swamp Rat. Ah just don't like people usin mah material." She said coolly.
"Sure chere. What eva y' say." Remy said, beginning to shuffle a deck of cards expertly without really paying attention to them.
"Mphmrfle" Pyro said into his pillow. He turned over in his sleep so he was facing the ceiling.
"I wonder what 'lucky girl' Pyro has his eyes on." Kitty said sarcastically, not able to stifle her giggle.
"Probably just dreamin about a lighter or somethin." Rogue mused.
"Yeah you're probably right. I mean I haven't heard him say any actual words or anything." Kitty said.
All of a sudden their small conversation was interrupted by John letting out a mumbled sentence that was still hearable by the people on the bus, unfortunately for him.
"Mmm. You can light my fire any day Amara!" He said in a very slight husky voice.
Rogue and Kitty stopped laughing when he talked and they both gaped at him, shocked and dumbfounded.
Piotr, Remy and Pietro were now watching intently to see what would happen. They didn't know what was going on, but whatever John had said had gotten the girls shaken up.
"You don't think. . . ." Kitty started.
"No. . .no it can't be. Ah mean of all thah girls in thah world he'd dream about. . . ." Rogue stopped midway in sentence, still as shocked as kitty.
Both the girl's eyes were still wide in surprise.
"But Rogue." Kitty began.
"Yeah?"
"Exactly like how many girls named Amara do you like think there are around here?" Kitty asked, looking toward the other girl.
"One." Rogue said in what sounded awfully close to a growl.
"Now wait Rogue, we should probably get the story straight first." Kitty said.
"That Ah can do." Rogue said, removing her right glove and quickly tapping Pyro on the face.
"Hey she can't do that!" Pietro exclaimed.
"Relax Maximoff. The Professor told her if she absorbed someone just a little while they were dreaming that she'd get their dreams instead of their memories, which is why you need to shut up so she can concentrate and pull away before she gets anymore then the dream." Kitty explained.
"So she can control her powers?" Remy asked with a little hope.
"No. Just transfer them to do other things if she concentrates really hard. Plus she has to have a good idea of what they're dreaming about." Kitty explained.
"Merde." Remy mumbled. He was hoping she could touch.
Rogue pulled away a millisecond after she'd tapped him and staggered back a bit. She shut her eyes and replayed the dream he was having in her own head.
The mutants stared at her intently, waiting for her to say or do something.
Suddenly her eyes shot open and they all leapt back.
"Well?" Kitty asked.
Rogue answered by scowling and glaring at John's sleeping form.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kitty said, and Rogue nodded.
The next thing the three boys knew. . . WHAM!
Kitty and Rogue had both taken pillows and swung them down hard at John who woke with an oof, ow and a "bloody hell Sheilas What's wrong with you lot?"
"You Perv!" Kitty yelled.
"She's fourteen ya nit!" Rogue scolded, hurling the pillow at him once more.
"What were you thinking?" Kitty continued.
"She's you're enemy. And did Ah mention she's FOURTEEN!?" Rogue exclaimed again.
"Ow!" A pillow was stuffed in his face.
"Bloody" Another pillow.
"Hell." And another pillow.
"What are you talking-" And another.
"About?" And another.
"Easy dere chere. Remy tinks Johns learned his lesson non?" Remy said, wrapping his arms around Rogue's waist and pulling her into him, away from the dazed Pyro.
"Pietro a little help here!" John said as Kitty continued to pummel him with a smaller pillow.
"What do you want me to do?" Pietro asked, clearly amused as Kitty beat up the older boy with the cushion.
"Any. . . Ow! Thing!" John said.
Pietro sighed tiredly and walked over to Kitty who was unaware of his presence.
"Uh, Kitty?" He said, avoiding her small wrath.
"What?" She asked, a little fuming.
"Uh. . ." Pietro looked around quickly and picked up a pillow that was three times the size of the one she was currently using to beat John with.
"Here you go. This should be more effective." Pietro said, handing her the pillow.
"WHAT!?" Pyro exclaimed.
"Thanks." Kitty said, getting an evil grin.
"I thought you said you'd help!" John exclaimed as Pietro stood back and watched Kitty with amusement.
"No, You said for me to do anything. So I did." Pietro said, trying to contain his smile.

"Get away from my fishing boat you freaks." The gruff man demanded, shining a flashlight in their faces.
Kurt looked to Storm for an answer.
"Please sir, we are just looking for our lost friend." Storm tried to explain.
"Another mutie? Get off my dock." The man said harshly.
"Come on Kurt, we'll have to walk up the beach and rent a boat." Storm said, walking in the direction away from the man's boat.
Kurt just stood where he was however. "But von't zat take anozer hour at least?" Kurt asked.
Storm sighed. "Yes Kurt, but it's the only way without using one of the rental boats here and they're not going to let us." Storm said, continuing on her walk.
Kurt just stood there. "Get lost you furry freak." The man said when Kurt didn't move.
Kurt looked at the man sadly and turned on his holowatch.
"Kurt come on." Storm called.
"No." He said, walking over to the man.
"Kurt?" Storm asked.
"Listen you. My friend is out zere all alone. Yes she is a mutant but she is also only fourteen years old. She could be in trouble or drowning right now ond if you don't let us rent one of your boats I might loose her forever. Please sir, I am truly sorry if you do not like mutants but I can't loose my friend. I've already lost so much because of this mutant issue. Don't take away my chance to save a girl's life as well." Kurt pleaded with puppy dog eyes and truly honest, pathetic tone in his voice.
Kurt stared into the man's eyes and Storm kept looking from Kurt to the man in surprise at the teen's heart filled words.
The man broke away from his glare and his face softened to a sympathetic look.
The man looked Kurt in the eyes again and sighed in an exasperated defeat.
"Here." The man said finally tossing Kurt a set of keys. Kurt was about to catch them with his tail but thought it best not to.
Kurt looked from the keys in his hands to the older man in confusion.
The older man looked around as if checking to see if they were alone before speaking.
"The keys go to the rental at the end of the docks. It's a speedboat but she's not the fastest in these waters. It's the best I've got so hurry up and go find your friend. I want the boat back by morning." The man explained, addressing Storm for the last part.
"Yes, thank you so much for your help." Storm said graciously.
"Yeah, yeah. Well the boy said something that made me want to give you another chance so don't go proving me wrong by not bringing it back in time." The man said gruffly.
Ororro smiled warmly at the man and thanked him once again.
"Well I'd better get back to work. Gotta have this fishing boat fixed in half an hour or I loose a whole load of fish." The man said pointing to the ship with the huge hole in it.
"Miss Munroe he'll never get it done in time. Can't you just. . . you know." Kurt whispered, twirling his fingers in the air.
Storm nodded. "Erm. . . Perhaps I can be of assistance." Ororro said, stepping up next to the man examining the gaping hole in his fishing boat.
"Yeah? Your power have anything to do with fixing boats?" The man asked sarcastically, only it was more to himself then anyone else.
"Not exactly. But I can do this." Storm said, and without anymore warning she nodded to Kurt who told the man to hold onto something. The man held onto the dock as a gust of wind came while the white haired woman levitated above them. Her eyes changed to completely white and the water started swirling around.
"What the Hell is she doing?" The man yelled over the winds.
"Just vatch." Kurt told him.
The two males watched as the wind got stronger and the water lifted. Then all of a sudden a huge amount of water was thrown into his fishing net by the wind and then the winds calmed and Ororro stopped levitating, returning to her normal eye color.
"Is that enough?" Storm asked.
The man turned and gaped, his mouth hung open in amazement at what he saw.
His biggest fishing net was filled with hundreds of fish.
"How-How did you do that? Why did you do that?" The man asked, still staring in amazement.
"It is my power. My gift. And as for why I did it, you helped us, so we helped you. Not all mutants use their powers against human kind. In fact very few do compared to those who spend their lives training to protect humans and hiding from them all at the same time." Storm explained.
The man nodded in understanding.
Storm turned to leave when she heard him say it.
"Thank you. I guess this does prove not all mutants are bad." The man said.
"Exactly." Storm said, before accompanying Kurt who was untying the rope connecting the boat to the dock.

Please sir, I am truly sorry if you do not like mutants but I can't loose my friend. I've already lost so much because of this mutant issue. Don't take away my chance to save a girl's life as well." Kurt pleaded with puppy dog eyes and truly honest, pathetic tone in his voice.
Kurt stared into the man's eyes and Storm kept looking from Kurt to the man in surprise at the teen's heart filled words.
The man broke away from his glare and his face softened to a sympathetic look.
The man looked Kurt in the eyes again and sighed in an exasperated defeat.
"Here." The man said finally tossing Kurt a set of keys. Kurt was about to catch them with his tail but thought it best not to.
Kurt looked from the keys in his hands to the older man in confusion.
The older man looked around as if checking to see if they were alone before speaking.
"The keys go to the rental at the end of the docks. It's a speedboat but she's not the fastest in these waters. It's the best I've got so hurry up and go find your friend. I want the boat back by morning." The man explained, addressing Storm for the last part.
"Yes, thank you so much for your help." Storm said graciously.
"Yeah, yeah. Well the boy said something that made me want to give you another chance so don't go proving me wrong by not bringing it back in time." The man said gruffly.
Ororro smiled warmly at the man and thanked him once again.
"Well I'd better get back to work. Gotta have this fishing boat fixed in half an hour or I loose a whole load of fish." The man said pointing to the ship with the huge hole in it.
"Miss Munroe he'll never get it done in time. Can't you just. . . you know." Kurt whispered, twirling his fingers in the air.
Storm nodded. "Erm. . . Perhaps I can be of assistance." Ororro said, stepping up next to the man examining the gaping hole in his fishing boat.
"Yeah? Your power have anything to do with fixing boats?" The man asked sarcastically, only it was more to himself then anyone else.
"Not exactly. But I can do this." Storm said, and without anymore warning she nodded to Kurt who told the man to hold onto something. The man held onto the dock as a gust of wind came while the white haired woman levitated above them. Her eyes changed to completely white and the water started swirling around.
"What the Hell is she doing?" The man yelled over the winds.
"Just vatch." Kurt told him.
The two males watched as the wind got stronger and the water lifted. Then all of a sudden a huge amount of water was thrown into his fishing net by the wind and then the winds calmed and Ororro stopped levitating, returning to her normal eye color.
"Is that enough?" Storm asked.
The man turned and gaped, his mouth hung open in amazement at what he saw.
His biggest fishing net was filled with hundreds of fish.
"How-How did you do that? Why did you do that?" The man asked, still staring in amazement.
"It is my power. My gift. And as for why I did it, you helped us, so we helped you. Not all mutants use their powers against human kind. In fact very few do compared to those who spend their lives training to protect humans and hiding from them all at the same time." Storm explained.
The man nodded in understanding.
Storm turned to leave when she heard him say it.
"Thank you. I guess this does prove not all mutants are bad." The man said.
"Exactly." Storm said, before accompanying Kurt who was untying the rope connecting the boat to the dock.
