DEDICATION AND A BIG THANK YOU: Emerald/Zozma Lionheart. She helped me with this chapter, by writing the beautiful action scene that you see here. This chapter wouldn't be possible without her, well maybe I could've attempted it, but it wouldn't have turned out nice.
I just did a bit of editing, the whole dialogue thing, and well the events other than "the" scene.
Enough rambling.
**~**
~~~FLASHBACK~~~
"- And I can tell you that a lot of friends of Kitty's are seriously angry with Remy for leaving her. So now Kitty is hurting, because of Remy and sort of because of you. Get the picture," Pietro had finally finished his speech for the 4th time, and he wasn't in the mood to repeat it for the fifth.
But by the look of Lance's face, and of the major shaking going down it seemed that the "speech" had finally sunk in.
And by Pietro's instinct he ran out of their as fast as he could, figuring that maybe telling Lance wasn't a good idea.
~~~FLASHBACK HAS ENDED~~~
Remy looked at Kitty after she had just spoken her words. He hadn't had a chance to say anything, because the building began to shake.
"Lance," she gasped, putting a hand over her mouth, "Who could've told him?"
Just then Pietro entered the room, and after a few more moments the shaking stopped.
"Umm.... you can blame that on me. I sorta told him about the whole yeah."
"You... what!!" Kitty exclaimed.
/Please don't make this any worse than it already is!!/ Kitty prayed to whatever power there was out there./
"Remy bettah go," and just as he said that he ran up to Kitty's window, unlatched the hook, and jumped out.
If another person Kitty and Pietro would have thought suicide, but hey it was Remy two stories up isn't a problem.
"Where'shegoing??" Pietro asked quickly.
"I have no idea. Probably not far, more so the woods outside here. It's a hiding place...." Kitty went off.
/This is such a mess, and it pretty much revolves around me./ Kitty thought miserably to herself.
"I'm going to find Lance," Kitty told him, "Maybe calm him down a bit."
Though the words were spoken, they weren't exactly possible.
"Besides, umm..... the adults, plus everyone else will be swarming around here in minutes."
Just on cue, Rogue and Jubilee entered the room with frantic faces.
"Kit, ah saw Lance run out tha doors, was that his rumblin'," Rogue asked.
"He said something to himself, crazy stuff, umm.... that there was something in the woods that he needed to go find, and that you sent him there," Jubilee added.
"He had this crazy look in his eyes and-" Rogue's news was instantly cut of as Kitty ran out the room.
"He's out to get Remy...."
And for Kitty who had experienced Lance's temper, she knew that he was mad.
And Remy was the punching bag to take it all out on.
*~*
Lance straightened his jacket out and stalked deeper into the forest. His black leather jacket had snagged on a tree branch and his already frayed temper was about to snap. He thought back to the mansion and the guests currently living in it; himself, the Brotherhood, and the Acolytes had all been forced there one way or another. He thought about one Acolyte in particular.
Remy.
The suave Cajun had successfully ruined his love life, according to Pietro. Right when he decided to get back with his pretty Kitty, the dashing mutant had to sweep her off her feet into his arms. Even though at the moment Remy was in no position to call him and Kitty lovers, since he left her, it didn't mean he was off the hook.
The ground trembled menacingly and Lance tried to get his raging emotions under control. However his control attempts were not working; he was too pissed off to care.
Fortunately, the reason for his anger had decided to take refuge in the very woods Lance was in, or more so the very woods Lance was hiding in. You'd hide too, if Wolverine threatened to kill you for breaking his Half-pint's heart. Well, he knew that was going to happen, and he wasn't going to stick around to hear it.
Somewhere along his path Lance had found his treasure.
"Hey Rocky!" The heart-stealing Cajun waved at Lance, not as friend, but not as an enemy. 'Till today.
"Just the rat I was looking for?" The rock-tumbler scowled angrily at Remy, who looked calm and collected, considering he was about to have the living daylights beaten out of him, at least in Lance's mind that was going to happen.
"No need for de name callin'. Remy was just takin' a walk, and don't want no trouble 'ere." Remy flicked the ashes of his cigarette onto the ground and leaned casually against a tree.
He didn't leave the mansion necessarily for a walk, he knew Lance would come out here, and he didn't want him to get lonely. Though he wasn't about to announce it or anything.
"Sorry Cajun. For what you did you're deserving the trouble. " Lance snarled and clenched his fists. Remy rolled his red-on-black eyes and tossed the cigarette away.
"Why are y' so angry at Remy?" Remy pretended to look curious, but on closer speculation he proved to be amused by Lance's actions.
"One for trying to take Kitty away, and secondly for hurting her. You bastard! You don't deserve her, and from what I hear you don't even have her anymore. So trust when I say you never will." Lance spat angrily.
Remy's eyes narrowed as his somewhat of a lecture was told. Sure, he realized that he made a mistake, but no need to rub it in his face.
"Remy tinks dat you don't deserve ta say a ting about her. Leaving her for anot'er girl, Remy's mistake was a bit smaller den yours. Your fooling yourself if y' tink dat your going ta get her back." Remy grinned coldly.
Lance answered by slamming his right fist into the tree next to Remy's ear. Remy scowled and ducked under Lance's arm.
"Non powers. Se battre," Remy ordered. He knew what was coming, but he didn't want to stop it. He just made it sure that it was played out fairly.
"Don't need them to win this!" Lance snapped back and lowered himself into a fighting stance.
Remy followed and Lance made the first move towards Remy.
Remy ducked low and kneaded Lance in the stomach. He grunted and planted an uppercut on Remy's chin. Remy winced slightly before rolling to the left and sweeping Lance's legs out from under him. Lance toppled to the ground and lunged at Remy. The two rolled around on the forest floor, trying to pin the other one down.
Lance succeeded and started punching Remy, who struggled to get Lance off of him.
Finally he shoved Lance off and stood up, though with a black eye to show for his success.
He kicked Lance in the ribs, repeatedly. Lance staggered to his feet and swung his left fist at Remy's face, giving him an open lip. Remy was knocked back off his feet and retreated slightly to gather his bearings.
Lance grabbed Remy by the collar and slammed him against the tree. Remy rammed his head against Lance's and grimaced at the bruise he knew was forming on his forehead.
Lance let go and stumbled backwards. Remy gasped for the breath he had lost while pinned to the tree. Lance snarled and the ground shook ominously. Remy scowled and grabbed Lance's leather jacket.
"Non powers! If Remy were ta let go…" Remy trailed off sinisterly.
"Let him go now!" the small voice of Kitty was heard much louder than what it was to the two not so good-looking boys.
"Come ta help Remy, chat," he said not bearing the chance to look over his shoulder. By then he would see the cold, no warmth held blue eyes that were trying desperately to fight back the tears.
"I don't know what the hell the two of you are fighting for, but if my guess is right you lost it by the first swung you made. Now I repeat let him go. Mr. Logan isn't here. Nor is anyone else. But if you don't want his claws near you get back to the mansion, now," the authority in Kitty's voice made the two slightly scared of what she would do if they wouldn't stop.
"Tell that to him. He-" Lance's partial excuse was cut off.
"Shut the Fuck up (A/N: I know Kitty doesn't swear, but she's angry. If you can't imagine it TRY!! It's like having Rogue or Wanda giggle.)!! JUST GO! Don't touch each other! Just go back there, get yourselves cleaned up, and for all I care jump off a cliff. Just stop with whatever childish game you are playing."
Remy's grip slackened as he heard the slight sniffle from Kitty. He glared at Lance once more, and removed his hands from his collar. He took a step back, as Lance regained composure.
Lance walked up to Kitty and whispered, "Look Kit. Umm.... I'm sorry, but-"
Kitty met his eyes evenly.
"I'm tired of it. Everything. We were okay, Lance. After all that happened we were okay. But now after this, just forget it."
Lance stared at her, hurt. Yet, he didn't stay to hear anymore of it or to try to change her mind, because he it was a lost cause.
He left, and started his journey back to the mansion. Which wasn't going to be easy for he probably had a broken rib, and many bruises forming, but he wasn't about to ask for help.
That left only Remy and Kitty in the forest.
"Remy knows dat sorry isn't goin' ta help much. But y' have ta know dat-"
"That what? That you care for me. That the only reason you did what you did was to fight for me. That if we just put all this behind it'll all be okay. We will have a nice life together, even have a couple of kids together.
"Do you expect me to put on an act here, Remy?"
"Kitty. Don't-"
"Don't what?? No, let's give it a try. You say that your sorry, and here let me practice my part."
At first Kitty's words were cut deep with anger, and tiny sense of hurt. But her next words were completely emotionless. Her eyes were empty, and nothing Remy saw reminded him of his Kitty, neither her anger or kindness.
"Oh, Remy. Lance is nothing to me. Your the only one. I'm sorry I ever doubted it. This fight, was just another piece of evidence that your trying to win my heart. And now that you've proven yourself we can go back in there together, together in love too. You'll kiss me, and I'll melt, and from then on I'll forget everything. I'll forget of the tears I've cried, and even how you left me. Sure Remy, I'll forget everything......
"Is that the way you want it Remy??"
Remy looked at her searching for some kind of reason on how this was just a dream, and he would soon wake up to find Kitty once more in his arms.
But as searched he knew this was all reality, his reality.
Kitty looked at him once more, and formed a cold forced smile.
And then with a turn of her heel she left him.
Just like he had done to her.
**~~**
And that part is done. Writing this part was hard. I had to make Kitty mean, really cold. Also I was kind of trying to decide if I should put them together there, or make it harder. Well you've read it, and you know the answer. Review and tell me what you think!
*somekindafreaky~ The poem that good.. wow, first time for everything!! I promise I'm not lying. "Scout's Honor." I loved that part, too. Please don't make me feel your wrath! Here's your update.
*DemonRogue~ Hope their confrontation doesn't disappoint you.
*Emerald/Zozma Lionheart~ I know poor speedy. Let's just hope Kitty gets over her anger before Pietro comes into all of this. And yes big stuff will happen, with your help that is!!!
*And to everyone else that I may have missed, by accident, thanks a lot for your wonderful comments!!
