"So what mischeif did everyone get into today?" Hope asked waiting for a crazy story. Everyone looked at her and shook their heads and chatter began again. She finished her french fries and proceeded to ask a question thats been bothering her all day, "Why didnt Lance and Alex come again?"
No one really knew the answer, "probably skateboarding.." was the response from Rogue. Regina sipped her soda and added to the conversation, "Actually I think there was this music store I heard them talkin about before we left."
There were other conversations going on between the group, Shelby and Pietro arguing over some rollercoaster, Remy kind of just keeping to himself, Warren and Chaos trying to get Pyro to eat something (still sick ^-^) .... and then a cellphone rang.
Some of the chat just ended at the curious sound of 'enter sandman' chiming off her phone (lol i actually have that ring) and when Chaos lifted the phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen it said, "institute".
"Rogue did you check in with the Professor last night?" Chaos passed the phone to her.
"Nah, swamprat here brought me home too late ta cal anyone." (cue grin from remy and jealous glare from Hope.) Rogue picked up and the coversations continued again. "Hiya Professor ahm sorry i--.....oh....hold on..." she put the phone down and slid it down the table, Chaos raised her eyebrow as did Warren. Rogues face was contorted in worry and nervousness, paler than usual.
"Its Logan.."
Chaos put a hand to her mouth in disbeleif...and grabbed the phone covering the mouth peice and yelling at everyone to shush, Logan may be like a thousand miles away but he knows EVERYONES voices, even over the phone. Shelby and Hope looked at eachother in confusion but Regina knew who Logan was. She may have met him only once or twice but she knew what he was like when angry.
"Chaos." she nervously said into the phone, identifying who she was.
"Chaos. Its Logan." a gruff voice was on the other end.
"Uh, hey...Lo--"
"Cut the small talk, I heard Fire-boy's and Speedy's voices where the hell are you."
"Las Vegas?"
"REALLY?!! THATS WHERE I AM NOW AND I DONT SENSE YOU ANYWHERE NEAR BY." at this point she cringed and held the phone away from her face, and everyone could hear him. Warren went wide eyed and Remy snickered.. "oohh daa sneaky chere eesss innn troouubllleee..." he whispered tauntingly. Chaos glared. Some more loudness came from the phone and Chaos just put it on the table and stared at it. He was on to her. She then shook her head and picked the phone up again, interupting Logan saying, "why are you following me?!"
*click*
She was suprised he hung up on her, and she sure as hell wasnt aboutto call him back.. she shut the phone off and placed in on the table, she bit her lips and explained the situation.
"He's in Vegas. He knows thats not our plan.." her face down fell. "So whats the problem? Its not like hes gonna kill you or anything..." Hope reasoned. Everyone who knew the wolverine wide-eyed her and started yelling at her. She got up defensively and pointed her hands at them all. Quiet.
This had to be the first actual serious moment the group ever had between them, except for Remy, who was still grinning like mad.
"Wait, hows he callin in from tha city if tha cellphone said 'institute'?" Chaos lifted her face from her hands and looked at Warren with some hope. He shook his head,
"Theres 4 separate phones with the same numebr all branched to the same line." -- Chaos groaned. "Oh man he's gonna kill me.."
Remy stood up, "Well my Kay belle, you could ether sulk aroun' an' feel sorry for y'self, or y'could come wit me an m'cheres (gesture to Rogue Hope Shelby and Regina) to the 2nd avenue club place y'went to last night, what y'say?"
Chaos brushed the hair frmo her face and tiredly smiled at Remy. Everyone went back to theyre arguing and chatting normally. but Hope, was _still_ confused.
"WHO THE HELL IS LOGAN DAMN IT!!"
that earned a very intense and awkward silence from not only the table they all sat at...but the entire resturant as well.
After about 30 seconds, Regina moved to phone to Rogue, "NOW, call the professor."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lance and Alex walked down the street with their skateboards, bored. It seemed the farther they walked looking for a good spot, the trashier the place started to look. With older buildings, more bars, more barbed wire fences...and then. There is was.
Lance looked a store called L + J pawn. but there was a stairwell leading to underneath the store. With a glitching neon sign with the word "Candy" and the letters XXX. "ahhh my favorite combination of my favorite letter!!"
Alex looked at Lance and looked at the place. He was uneasy about it. It wasnt like he was a complete wimp, but he took smarter routes rather than being a typical idiot teenage boy. "Lance dude, what are you thinking about."
Lance grinned and started down the stairs. "Lance, no, if we're caught we'll die. Warren'll have our throats."
"Aww stop being a wimp...lets catch a show dude I havent seen a naked chick all freakin vacation and I'm due for a lapdance." He briskly said. Alex shaked his head and just followed Lance. No way they'd get caught...
The door was open and there were really gross looking biker guys all over the place, some pool tables...a bar. Yeahh cool shit they thought. It was somewhat dark, kinda crowded and grimey. the stage was the brightest thing in the room. Lance, after bumping into several dudes who didnt look too friendly, he finalyl found a spot to rest. He had a wicked grin on his face as he watched the selfrespectless women pole dance and slide all voer all the greasy fat guys who waved their dirty money.
Alex was disgusted with the people who hung out at these places. And he was even MORE angered when he saw some 40 something year old drunk guy snort a line of coke off some strippers abdominal.
They were there for about 2 hours just watching the trashed women with what we call 'city miles' on them (where they look older than they are) fly all over the place, show everything they have, dance on stage, taking the men who flashed better money then the rest into the backrooms. more drugs more booze...Lance himself was offered a hit from a pipe, and he took it. And then another...
Alex was surrounded by all of this. And now his best friend sat next to him throwing money and getting even more stoned. And what happened next was too fast for anyone to keep in line. From the stairwell you could see some pretty flashing lights, blues and reds infact. And some men, with guns pointed and they were screaming. Screaming at everyone. Within 15 seconds two people were already shot. One was dead. It took Lance a couple minutes to process what was going on..and when he did he knew he needed to get out of there. When we was going to use his powers, Alex tackled him. It was better they didn't know they were mutants, he thought. He was right. A stripper attempted to use some strange telekinesis power on one of the cops attacking a man she seemed to actually like considering she wouldnt leave him alone all night.
This girl, this girl who had literally no life for her, and who liked the guy she tried to help, was shot. Shot in the heart. Alex watched all of this in horror as he started to quiver and shake. It should be understood he had spent most of his time in Hawaii where tehre were beaches and wide green spaces...he did not like the city much and he certainly didn't like it anymore now that he just saw a stripper killed feet away.
Lance passed out. Alex laid down next to him pretending this wasnt happening. Before he knew anything else...he was hit over the head with a chair. He felt wet warm thick goo trickle down his neck, he felt a pool of it form underneath his face...he could taste...salt...and then he was out.
-----------------------------------------------
The sky was fading to dark. After letting everyone out at the entrance to the hotel and then parkign the car by himself, Pyro sighed and sat in the car for a few minutes by himself...with the engine off but the battery still on and playing the cd/radio. He couldnt tear away from this one particular song that played off of Remy's cd, he had never heard it before. Pyro's taste resided in that of techno/industrial...but this one song, called 'weightless', attracted him. It was kind of melancholy, piano, bass, kind of deep sounding. Especially these certain lyrics:
:.:: "You...you could be the one.." she whisprered,
"Listen, love is all you ever wanted...
all you'll ever need...(the song picks up for the last time)
another summer, your body weightless
in condensation, my heart learned to swim and the feelin,
has come again... ::.:
The song was over and he turned the entire car off and walked upstairs with certain thoughts on one person.
----------------------------------------------
meanwhile upstairs in the rooms, Shelby tripped Pietro while he raced for the bathroom and began giggling. For days now she has been using every chance she got at teasing him, living on her opinion, "Hes so CUTE when hes mad!" -- Pietro had begun to get tired of it, so he stood up turned to her and began screaming her off, "WHY-ARE-YOU-SUCH-A-BITCH-SHELBY?!!! WHAT-THE-HELL-DID-I-DO-TO-YOU?!?!?!"
She smirked and replied, "you ADHD, you walked in on my shower."
"WAY T'GO PIETRO!" came across the room from Remy. Pietro ignored it and just stomped away locking himself in the bathroom. Shelby felt slightly bad and walked to the door and banged on it, "Oh, c'mon Pietro!! I didnt mean it!!"
"SHUT-UP" came muffled from behind the door. Shelby got frustrated and banged on the door even more. Pyro had just walked in when he saw Shelby getting angry and pounding on the door with what looked like a flaming fist.
Infact, it actually was flaming... Rogue walked in from the opposite room through those nifty slide doors and was almost hit in the face with a char. "Hey!!" she exclaimed, Pyro heard her yell, looked to where the cause was and ran over to Shelby, threw her on the bed before serious damage was done to the bathroom door, and they didnt really feel like paying for anything damaged. "WHOA SHEL! Struth!! Honest guv sheila, shut off the fire before yer burn the chuffin' place downunda!"
She stopped the flame and pouted, lying on the bed with her hands under her head and taking deep breaths. Remy, who was busy playing solitair on the opposite bed, was too busy with his game to stop Shelby, but he did attempt to comfort Rogue without getting up. "Ah Chere, were you hurt? don worry, Remy make it all betta, jes come on over here and lay nexta him." he didnt even look up. Rogue just forced a "ha!" and left back to the other room where Chaos was playing the Sims with Hope on the bed Regina next to her reading a book and occasionally looking up to see what was going on.
"Oh no!!" Chaos exclaimed trying to sound like she really was upset.
"What?" Regina looked at the screen. She saw a lady in a dress suit holding a baby with a dialog box above her saying --Social Worker says: Oh My! It seems no one will take care of this baby! We'll just have to put her in the orphanage!--
"Theyre taking your baby?!" Regina raised an eyebrow after asking, and then added, "and why was it outside!?"
"It kept waking my people up...So i put it outside." Everyone chuckled under their breaths.
Hope was reading a ym magazine she stole from the receptionist desk when she said monotonously, "you'll never see the baby again."
Chaos said in an accentuated gangster tone "PSHH yeah right. That bitch aint goin no wheaz." grinned and pressed start. Rogue looked to the screen with a "what are you going to do?". Kay said nothing, she just built a fence around the Social Worker and that was that. If there were no doors, she wasn't going anywhere. All four of them just watched the social worker turn in every direction with a cloud over head with a picture of a door and a question mark.
"There. pet social worker." Rogue shook her head smiled and said, "alright, on that note, who wants to go to the pool with me?" Hope perked right up, jumped and declared, "I'LL GET MY BATHING SUIT!!!" and ran into the bathroom. Chaos pressed pause and looked at Regina, "I wonder when Lance and Alex will be back." Regina's response was interupted by Rogue.
"What about you Regina?"
"Nah I think i'll just hang here, its only 5:00 I dont feel like getting up and goin anywhere until later."
"Chaos?" Chaos looked at her sadly and looked back to the screen shaking her head slowly. Rogue covered her mouth.."oh...right...sorry.." and to avoid an awkward silence she leaned into the other room, "What about you Shel? Pool with me and Hope?"
"No! IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL--"
Remy and Pyro looked at her, "Shelby.." and then she gave up, "alright alright, but my suits in tehre he needs to come--" and in the middle of that sentence, the bathroom door flung open and out came both peices of the bikini strait at her, and the the door flung closed again. "--out" she finished. Everyone looked into the room and at Shelby and then went about their own buisness.
"Give me five minutes."
***About a half hour later, It was only Pyro Remy Chaos Pietro and Regina around. Pyro had just asked Remy about that song he heard. Apparently it was by some man named Thomas Dolby and the song was called Weightless.
" oh an' 'ey mate, where'd War go?" Pyro asked Remy who didnt even look up from his game, "Out for a flight i b'leive (swoop sound) .. ah wait he's back 'gan"
The door opened, Warren stepped in with wings flat against his back unlike a moment before. Pyro got off the bed and asked, "Hey Warren, y'think i could use your laptop, I want to look up the meanin to a song I heard in the car downunda in the garage." Warren waved him off saying, "Yeah sure its in the leather bag in the closet. Wheres Regina? I have to ask ehr something."
"In tha room with Kay-belle mon ami." Remy said as he shuffled his cards to start a new game. "Thanks. Oh and Pyro if you have a problem with that let Chaos know." he recieved a nod. Warren walked into the other room and found Chaos on the floor legs crossed and eyes glued to the screen, as well as Regina who was reading a paperback book she picked up from the convenience store across the diner, jsut who he was looking for.
"Hey Reg, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked with a tinge of nervousness in his voice. Regina looked up curiously, nodded, and saved the spot in her book. When she got up she looked at the screen and the Sim version of Chaos, one of her kids and a man.
"Hey Chaos, Logans hungry." she pointed to the one resembling Logan. Chaos dropped the controller and glared at Regina as she and Warren proceeded to go onto the balcony (the same balcony mind you that they took off on the night before).
"AHHH HES GONNNNA KILL MEE!!!" was heard even after the balcony doors were shut.
The both of them looked at eachotehr and grinned, poor Chaos.
"Whats up warren..?" Regina casually asked to break the silence.
"Well, I called around last night and early this morning, and i just went out to pick up what i bought." he reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. "What...what is that?"
"Ever go to an opera?"
"No.." tentatively said Regina.
He smiled, "Well, if you accept my invitation...we could see one tomarrow night? Its called Madam Butterfly, I've seen it countless times, its my favorite of any theatrical acts." he took the two tickets out. Regina reached out and took them and felt the smoothness of the fine feeling thick paper. She looked at him and smiled like a school girl asked out on a date for the first time, "I'd love too!!" she smiled and handed them back to him. As he tucked them back into theyre rightful place he explained, "It's at an elegant theater downtown, Andrew Jackson Hall. It starts at 9:00 and it'll probably be over around midnight. Is that alright?"
"Of course...oh man, I only have like 28 hours to find something to wear!!" she rushed back into hotel room and Warren followed behind closing the doors and returning to his own room. She madly ran through her closet searching for something nice enough to wear, even if she was a day early.
"Chaos!! Warren's taking me out to an opera!!" she exclaimed all excitedly. Chaos was paying no attention for she was busy trying to put a Sim fire Sim Chaos started.
"Chaos?"
"Huh..? oh..yeah, whatever...I like popcorn too.." she didnt take her eyes off the screen.
"CHAOS!!" she despretly tried to get her attention.
(the fire burned chaos's sim house down.) "WHAT?!" Kay threw the control at her but it stopped short becuase it was connected to the console. Regina rolled her eyes. "I'm going to an opera with Warren tomarrow night?"
"And so..?" Chaos got up and sat on the bed facing her. Regina let out an exasperated sigh. "And SO I need something to wear..have any ideas?"
"Actually..." Chaos brushed her hand through her pitch black and blood red hair.
"ANY NORMAL IDEAS!?"
"I take offense to that! My style is wayyyy cool."
"you scare children and other women with the way you dress."
"SERVES THEM RIGHT!" Kay shook a fist in the air. Regina shook her head with a raised eyebrow and returned to the closet. "your psycotic."
then Kay's cell phone rang.
--flashback five minutes before--
Warren walked into the room and placed the tickets down the desk next to the tv. Remy picked them up and read what they said, he whistled.. "Wow homme, y'have some class takin a lady you don know very well to de opera."
Warren turned from inside the closet across from the bathroom and grinned, "But definetly not as much class as you LeBeau."
"An' don' you forget it!" he grinned back.
Pyro wasnt paying attention to anything that was going on, he was too busy looking up that meaning to the song. He found it. and was jsut about to click on that one link when he slipped because a loud "CHAOS!!!" came from the other side of the wall. He pressed the back button and proceeded to click the link AGAIN when he missed AGAIN becuase of an even louder "WHAT?!!?" from the otehr room. Pyro was getting annoyed. Eventually he was able to click it and he read about the song.
It was about a girl having a nervous breakdown, sounds like a girl he knew. He read more about it when, Pietro finally came out of the bathroom. Pyro moved his attention over andsmirked over at Pietro, "Fahnally, I thought y'be checkin to see if y'were pregnant o'somethin, mate." Pietro glares at him and goes, "what the hell?"
Remy chuckles and adds, "Well, mon ami, with da way you were actin' wit Shelby, we startin to think maybe y'be on your period." All the guys in the room (save Pietro for obvious reasons) full heartedly laughed at him making Pietro steam. With a blur, all of the sudden all of Remy's cards were on the floor and Warrens computer was unplugged making Pyro loose his place. Remy and Pyro were jsut about to attack him when Chaos burst into the room holding her cell phone with Regina right behind her.
"You guys cut it out! DEAD serious."
Everyone froze and then regained their composure, "What's wrong girls?" Everyone was deeply concerned with the pale looks on their faces.
Regina answered, "Chaos just got a call from the Police, Lance was arrested and Alex was put in the hospital."
-------------------------------------------------------
enjoy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what mischeif did everyone get into today?" Hope asked waiting for a crazy story. Everyone looked at her and shook their heads and chatter began again. She finished her french fries and proceeded to ask a question thats been bothering her all day, "Why didnt Lance and Alex come again?"
No one really knew the answer, "probably skateboarding.." was the response from Rogue. Regina sipped her soda and added to the conversation, "Actually I think there was this music store I heard them talkin about before we left."

Some of the chat just ended at the curious sound of 'enter sandman' chiming off her phone (lol i actually have that ring) and when Chaos lifted the phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen it said, "institute".
"Rogue did you check in with the Professor last night?" Chaos passed the phone to her.
"Nah, swamprat here brought me home too late ta cal anyone." (cue grin from remy and jealous glare from Hope.) Rogue picked up and the coversations continued again. "Hiya Professor ahm sorry i--.....oh....hold on..." she put the phone down and slid it down the table, Chaos raised her eyebrow as did Warren. Rogues face was contorted in worry and nervousness, paler than usual.
"Its Logan.."
Chaos put a hand to her mouth in disbeleif...and grabbed the phone covering the mouth peice and yelling at everyone to shush, Logan may be like a thousand miles away but he knows EVERYONES voices, even over the phone.

Chaos brushed the hair frmo her face and tiredly smiled at Remy. Everyone went back to theyre arguing and chatting normally. but Hope, was _still_ confused.
"WHO THE HELL IS LOGAN DAMN IT!!"
that earned a very intense and awkward silence from not only the table they all sat at...but the entire resturant as well.
After about 30 seconds, Regina moved to phone to Rogue, "NOW, call the professor."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lance and Alex walked down the street with their skateboards, bored. It seemed the farther they walked looking for a good spot, the trashier the place started to look. With older buildings, more bars, more barbed wire fences...and then. There is was.

----------------------------------------------
meanwhile upstairs in the rooms, Shelby tripped Pietro while he raced for the bathroom and began giggling. For days now she has been using every chance she got at teasing him, living on her opinion, "Hes so CUTE when hes mad!" -- Pietro had begun to get tired of it, so he stood up turned to her and began screaming her off, "WHY-ARE-YOU-SUCH-A-BITCH-SHELBY?!!! WHAT-THE-HELL-DID-I-DO-TO-YOU?!?!?!"
She smirked and replied, "you ADHD, you walked in on my shower."
"WAY T'GO PIETRO!" came across the room from Remy. Pietro ignored it and just stomped away locking himself in the bathroom. Shelby felt slightly bad and walked to the door and banged on it, "Oh, c'mon Pietro!! I didnt mean it!!"
"SHUT-UP" came muffled from behind the door. Shelby got frustrated and banged on the door even more. Pyro had just walked in when he saw Shelby getting angry and pounding on the door with what looked like a flaming fist.

Regina's response was interupted by Rogue.
"What about you Regina?"
"Nah I think i'll just hang here, its only 5:00 I dont feel like getting up and goin anywhere until later."
"Chaos?" Chaos looked at her sadly and looked back to the screen shaking her head slowly. Rogue covered her mouth.."oh...right...sorry.." and to avoid an awkward silence she leaned into the other room, "What about you Shel? Pool with me and Hope?"
"No! IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL--"
Remy and Pyro looked at her, "Shelby.." and then she gave up, "alright alright, but my suits in tehre he needs to come--" and in the middle of that sentence, the bathroom door flung open and out came both peices of the bikini strait at her, and the the door flung closed again. "--out" she finished. Everyone looked into the room and at Shelby and then went about their own buisness.
"Give me five minutes."
***About a half hour later, It was only Pyro Remy Chaos Pietro and Regina around. Pyro had just asked Remy about that song he heard. Apparently it was by some man named Thomas Dolby and the song was called Weightless.
" oh an' 'ey mate, where'd War go?" Pyro asked Remy who didnt even look up from his game, "Out for a flight i b'leive (swoop sound) .. ah wait he's back 'gan"
The door opened, Warren stepped in with wings flat against his back unlike a moment before. Pyro got off the bed and asked, "Hey Warren, y'think i could use your laptop, I want to look up the meanin to a song I heard in the car downunda in the garage." Warren waved him off saying, "Yeah sure its in the leather bag in the closet. Wheres Regina? I have to ask ehr something."
"In tha room with Kay-belle mon ami." Remy said as he shuffled his cards to start a new game. "Thanks. Oh and Pyro if you have a problem with that let Chaos know." he recieved a nod. Warren walked into the other room and found Chaos on the floor legs crossed and eyes glued to the screen, as well as Regina who was reading a paperback book she picked up from the convenience store across the diner, jsut who he was looking for.
"Hey Reg, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked with a tinge of nervousness in his voice. Regina looked up curiously, nodded, and saved the spot in her book. When she got up she looked at the screen and the Sim version of Chaos, one of her kids and a man.
"Hey Chaos, Logans hungry." she pointed to the one resembling Logan. Chaos dropped the controller and glared at Regina as she and Warren proceeded to go onto the balcony (the same balcony mind you that they took off on the night before).
"AHHH HES GONNNNA KILL MEE!!!" was heard even after the balcony doors were shut.
The both of them looked at eachotehr and grinned, poor Chaos.
"Whats up warren..?" Regina casually asked to break the silence.
"Well, I called around last night and early this morning, and i just went out to pick up what i bought." he reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. "What...what is that?"
"Ever go to an opera?"
"No.." tentatively said Regina.
He smiled, "Well, if you accept my invitation...we could see one tomarrow night? Its called Madam Butterfly, I've seen it countless times, its my favorite of any theatrical acts." he took the two tickets out. Regina reached out and took them and felt the smoothness of the fine feeling thick paper. She looked at him and smiled like a school girl asked out on a date for the first time, "I'd love too!!" she smiled and handed them back to him. As he tucked them back into theyre rightful place he explained, "It's at an elegant theater downtown, Andrew Jackson Hall. It starts at 9:00 and it'll probably be over around midnight. Is that alright?"
"Of course...oh man, I only have like 28 hours to find something to wear!!" she rushed back into hotel room and Warren followed behind closing the doors and returning to his own room. She madly ran through her closet searching for something nice enough to wear, even if she was a day early.
"Chaos!! Warren's taking me out to an opera!!" she exclaimed all excitedly. Chaos was paying no attention for she was busy trying to put a Sim fire Sim Chaos started.
"Chaos?"
"Huh..? oh..yeah, whatever...I like popcorn too.." she didnt take her eyes off the screen.
"CHAOS!!" she despretly tried to get her attention.
(the fire burned chaos's sim house down.) "WHAT?!" Kay threw the control at her but it stopped short becuase it was connected to the console. Regina rolled her eyes. "I'm going to an opera with Warren tomarrow night?"
"And so..?" Chaos got up and sat on the bed facing her. Regina let out an exasperated sigh. "And SO I need something to wear..have any ideas?"
"Actually..." Chaos brushed her hand through her pitch black and blood red hair.
"ANY NORMAL IDEAS!?"
"I take offense to that! My style is wayyyy cool."
"you scare children and other women with the way you dress."
"SERVES THEM RIGHT!" Kay shook a fist in the air. Regina shook her head with a raised eyebrow and returned to the closet. "your psycotic."
then Kay's cell phone rang.
--flashback five minutes before--
Warren walked into the room and placed the tickets down the desk next to the tv. Remy picked them up and read what they said, he whistled.. "Wow homme, y'have some class takin a lady you don know very well to de opera."
Warren turned from inside the closet across from the bathroom and grinned, "But definetly not as much class as you LeBeau."
"An' don' you forget it!" he grinned back.
Pyro wasnt paying attention to anything that was going on, he was too busy looking up that meaning to the song. He found it. and was jsut about to click on that one link when he slipped because a loud "CHAOS!!!" came from the other side of the wall. He pressed the back button and proceeded to click the link AGAIN when he missed AGAIN becuase of an even louder "WHAT?!!?" from the otehr room. Pyro was getting annoyed. Eventually he was able to click it and he read about the song.
It was about a girl having a nervous breakdown, sounds like a girl he knew. He read more about it when, Pietro finally came out of the bathroom. Pyro moved his attention over andsmirked over at Pietro, "Fahnally, I thought y'be checkin to see if y'were pregnant o'somethin, mate." Pietro glares at him and goes, "what the hell?"
Remy chuckles and adds, "Well, mon ami, with da way you were actin' wit Shelby, we startin to think maybe y'be on your period." All the guys in the room (save Pietro for obvious reasons) full heartedly laughed at him making Pietro steam. With a blur, all of the sudden all of Remy's cards were on the floor and Warrens computer was unplugged making Pyro loose his place. Remy and Pyro were jsut about to attack him when Chaos burst into the room holding her cell phone with Regina right behind her.
"You guys cut it out! DEAD serious."
Everyone froze and then regained their composure, "What's wrong girls?" Everyone was deeply concerned with the pale looks on their faces.
Regina answered, "Chaos just got a call from the Police, Lance was arrested and Alex was put in the hospital."
