In the last Chapter, Chaos DID NOT like how her past was explained. So if you say anything about it.... please just shove it up your nose. i have not said anything much so far and that's probably for good reason but now I shall sing my favorite song!

Ahem, The itsy bitsy spider crawled into mamas bed, crawled upon her hubby and bit him in the head, mama lay there sleepin' while Herby laid there dead, and the itsy bitsy spider crawled outta mamas bed. YAY!

Regina smacked Warren with her hand playfully. Neither of them had hit the

emergency button yet but after both had gotten fully dressed Regina pushed

it and the elevator moved with a little jolt. Reg, who had forgotten that

that happens was caught off balance slightly and bumped into an

already-close-enough Warren.

He just smiled at her and put his arm over her shoulders. And the two

proceeded to go out the doors. They were met by stares of a few people who

sat around the lobby and then the clerk who asked "What happened to the

elevator?"

Both of them stubbled for a good explanation and Warren was the first "The

emergency button got stuck after I accidentally pushed it."

With that Regina remembered what she was wearing and she pushed the button

back to their floor while blushing a deep deep red. The bell DING!ed and

they went back went towards the door, which happened to be all the way down

the hall and around the corner.

"Ok," Remy began. (a/n: to hell...with..accents...) "once upon a time...far

far away in a land called, Las Vegas, Pyro and I, after the Acolytes,

uhm..one of outlaw groups in newyork, broke up, we went out to make some

money buy putting all the casinos out of business" he smirked at himself at

remember those dealer's faces when he always had the right hand. Shaking it

off he continued, "We made a grand total of 150,000 dollars the 3 days we

were there and a couple thousand more before we decided it was enough."

"And 150,000 wasn't enough the first time around...?" Hope asked with wide

eyes. She had never seen so much money in her life. Remy put out yet another

cigarette and grinned, "Not when your a road warrior like Remy is!" Hope

rolled her eyes, and looked at him to continue.

"So we went ta celebrate at some bar down in de less...nicer part of Lady

Luck's territory. Remy wasn't too crazy 'bout it--but Pahro did cuz of de

crazy music playin dat he likes...techno/gothishh pshh." he shook his head

slightly to get the sounds he remember out of his head. "So..and Remy won't

lie to ya fille, Remy danced wit many girls--but y'know what kinda girls

like dat stuff...all de same to me. Remy sure he coulda had any single one

o'dem," his face brightening as if to purposely annoy Hope with his flaring

ego. She groaned and he laughed waving her off like he was just kidding.

"So Pahro an' Remy sat at de bar drinking...well...Remy was drinkin, Pyro

was jes orderin every single typa shot out dere only to light em all on fire

(cue Hopes sudden laughter). Den tiem went by as we discussed plans for de

future, when another bartender took over..." he trailed.

"Chaos?" she asked, eyes off him and onto her straw in the glass of water.

Remy didn't give an answer answer and only continued, "Remember dat night so

vividly, she looked different from now though, her hair was long...kinda

like yours is, an' de tips o'it were blue. She had the normal body like

everyone else, shoulders matchin' none o'dat metal shit she was cursed wit

now." he closed his eyes, "still wore black though..some things'll never

change." he thought for a moment and tried to avoid the rest of the story.

"So we became good friends, came back to newyork an' here we are now." he

finished quickly sipping his drink.

She dropped the straw in her glass and raised an eyebrow at him. "Yeah

right. Then why did you haver to be so undercover later on...? And what

about those--"

"Alright alright I'm sorry. Jeez, I'll keep going." he knew he was caught

and he was somewhat annoyed. "Long story short, I asked her to dance, we

danced, we got drunk....just like we do almost everynight, and things went a

little further--"

"How much further..?" she asked, and without even knowing it, leaned in on

the table staring him down. Remy, a little nervous, hid it with his grin

and sat back staring right at her with amusement. "Why, Cher, are you so

curious..?" she didn't know what to say, so he just took the moment to his

advantage and bluntly said, "...we had wild crazy sex. you want full detail

fille?"

Hope, clenching her teeth, yelled, "NO!" making other customers stare at her

(including Remy with that damn grin) for few moments and then go one with

whatever they were doing before. She blushed crimson and narrowed her eyes

at Remy. "Hope, it was in de past though...I mean it, and again Remy won't

lie to ya, it was an ongoin bestfriends-wit-benefits relationship." he lit

another cigarette. Not knowing what to really say, Hope's eyes were

downcast...not really wanting to look at Remy. Remy sighed and leaned

foreward.

"If it makes ya feel any better...Chaos was the one attemptin on doin the

one-night-stand the night we met." he waited for the shock look on her face.

Instead all that was heard murmered was, "...smart girl..". She looked up

smiling slightly to see the priceless look on his face. He really did have

an ego problem. She looked back at her drink, "So..why the sneaking

around..?"

"Ah, not one o' de best moments in Remy's life." he began with a sigh. "Lets

see...well we stayed wit Chaos in her chop shop for about a year. By dis

time I knew she was a mu'ant, I knew the first night actually..or de morning

after anyway" he grinned. "She woke up before Remy did and when she was just

about out the door o'de hotel room, he grabbed her arm suddenly...only to be

nearly electrocuted. According to her an' Pyro, I was out for two days. She

took me to her place above the chopshop and we jes kinda...lived there wit

her and 'er coyote from then on..we di'nt really have a place to go."

"And...? Why sneaking around?"

He hushed her by putting a gloved finger to her mouth, "I'm gettin there.

After a while, Pyro an I started noticin things 'bout her. She'd get a lot

more sick, her skin turned a crazy greyish color...something wasn't healthy

bout her. Like how Ray Crisp, one o' Xaviers kids, can jes use static

electricity from around, Kaybelle couldn't do that. She had to store it, an'

we didn't know how, nor did we ask questions...until her veins started

burstin." he said, Hopes mouth slightly ajar at the morbid thought. Remy

took one of her arms and pushed the sleeve up.

"Dis, whole underside.." he stroke slightly from the wrist to the elbow,

"was bleedin what looked like mercury...chunks of steel and whatnot were

bulgin through her skin, and we couldn't really do anythin about it...like

how she sparks when she's angry--it was 12 times worse den that." he let go

of her arm. "So we called out the X-men to take us to the Professor...but

y'see, the X-men didn't take kindly to Remy an Pyro...and she needed help

bad. We told em we didn't know her, she was a stranger and dat was dat, they

wouldn't think she was one o'us and they'd accept her." he really didnt look

like he wanted to talk about it anymore.

Hope sat still with her mouth slightly hung open. Remy just stared at the

table when he saw her expression. She quickly shut her jaw and then started

to play with the napkin. Soon both of their new drinks were set down and the

two each took a sip.

Remy changed the subject in his favor and hers as well. "Do ya like dis

place Cher?"

"It's quite nice, though I could hardly read the menu." she stated softly.

Remy's laugh relaxed her more and she giggled at her own stupidity slightly.

For he had flipped the menu to the back were it said the exact same as the

inside just translated to english.

As Pietro had shot up, it caused Shelby to fall off the bed and onto the

floor with a small 'thmp' sound. Then Pietro ran out of the room and off in

his fast manner and that left Shelby with Chaos. Speaking of Chaos she was

still standing there in front of Shelby with a big smirk on her face. Her

hair was also sopping wet and dripping on the floor. Though it might've been

wet the dye in her hair for her front bangs was faded closely to just not

being there.

Chaos suddenly went into a laughing riot. Even to the point of where

electricity had begun to show on the surface of her skin. Shelby sat on the

bed and started to laugh along, though we're not really sure why.

Chaos began to rummage around the room as the laughter started to slow down.

"Hey Kay mind if I ask you somethin'?"

"Sure why the hell not."

"Do you think my dad will try to find me again like last time?" Shelby

replied with a more serious tone.

Chaos just went over to get her clothes and looked for the dye she needed

for her hair (its best to have the hair clean when re-dying!! ...friendly

note from poison.),"I dunno. It's hard to think he could find you here.

Where's the last place you saw him?"

"Somewhere around Alabama ..... I think damnit." she responded and fell back

into the bed and looked over towards the door Chaos had went back through to

go change."Well if he comes to find you, I'll round up Pyro Remy and we can

gangbang him." she called out. Shelby's eyes went wide and tried her best to

keep the mental images from her mind. "..oh man, that's NOT cool!! ewww." and

more laughing could be heard from the bathroom. "Hey to just change the

subject, can I use the rest of your dye?"

Chaos replied by exiting the bathroom, and contemplating yelling "go to

hell"...but instead starting thinking about how she was pretty tired of that

color. So she threw the small bottle at her and saying "yeah, whatever..do

you know how to use it?" she asked her. Shelby went through some of the

directions and said, "Yeah..I think so."

Chaos went back into the bathroom, saying "if you need help done fret to

ask."

"Thanks!" she called back and put it in her backpack."I'm gonna go see if I

can find Pietro, I'll be back in a while."

-

Chaos stared at herself in the mirror. Her hair had dried more and her bangs

were even more faded. Though it didn't really phase her if some roots

were showing. There was something more on her mind. "ohh mann that was such

an awesome dream.." she mentally whined. Staring at her herself, and

whatching her own self get mad, she screamed "AHH DAMN YOU TO HELL WARREN!!!

....I think I need some time alone."
