And here is chapter two, enjoy!
"Long time no see," Andrew said.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rogue asked coming down the stairs, pulling a black glove over her right hand as she did so.
"Looking for you silly," Amelia replied grinning, she looked around, "Did you think we were coming to join the X-men or something?"
"You may have, knowing you," Rogue replied coming to stand by Scott.
"That is, if you knew me, for I am an Acolyte," Amelia informed and Rogue's eyes widened.
"You're working for Magneto?" she demanded.
"What's the big deal anyway," Andrew asked looking from Rogue, to Amelia, to Professor Xavier.
"Magneto seeks to rule over mankind," Xavier stated coming forwards, the small crowd of teenage mutants parting for him.
"Duh," Amelia sneered.
"Doesn't every evil villain?" Andrew asked.
"Well yes, I suppose," Xavier agreed.
"Life is so cliché," Amelia drawled and then sighed heavily, "oh well, let's go bro, we got things to do."
"Wait," Xavier said and both stalled and looked at him. "You are welcome to join us here," there were some cried of disagreement.
"Thanks but no thanks," Amelia replied glaring pointedly at Kitty, Rogue looked over at her, she blushed and looked away.
"Yep, too much hostility," Andrew agreed nodding his head.
"Can I come?" Amelia looked at Rogue.
"Somehow I'm not sure the boss would be overly happy about that arrangement," Andrew protested.
"Skipping for joy," Amelia stated blandly.
"So that's a no," Rogue looked away.
"Tell you what, Andrew can bugger off and you and I spend some time together like old times yeh?" Amelia suggested.
"Yeh, okay," Rogue agreed but she still didn't sound too happy.
"Professor, I don't think this is such a good idea," Scott protested.
"May I be so bold as to ask, why the hell not?" Amelia stormed as her brother disappeared.
"Well," the Professor trailed off, "I'm not sure myself Scott. Amelia, why are you working for Magneto?" he asked suddenly.
All too soon for Kitty's stomach's taste Amelia was a skeleton again, "Look, I said to red," she said as she walked towards the Professor, "and now I'm telling you," she stopped right in front of him, "Mitts off my mind," she growled.
"I see," he replied lacing his fingers together, she returned back to her human form.
"We clear?" he nodded, "good," she grinned, "Rogue, what do you say, you and me?" Rogue nodded, "Great," she ran over to Rogue grabbed her hand and was half way to the door when she called back, "See you people," it was all over before anyone could really do anything about it.
---Amelia and Rogue---
"Where do you want to go first?" Amelia asked.
"You're on the country's most wanted list, I don't think there is anywhere we can go," Rogue said, her face showing her disappointment.
"Oh who cares, let's discuss something instead," Amelia suggested.
"Oh yeah like what?" Rogue looked anxious; she didn't like the look in her old friend's eyes.
"Your love life for example," Amelia grinned and Rogue blushed, "my God, there is someone, tell me, are they at the Institute, have I met them?"
"Yeh, you've probably met him by now," Rogue said rubbing the back of her head, Amelia smirked.
"He's an Acolyte," Rogue nodded, "I rock!" Rogue started to step slowly away as Amelia did random summersaults in mid air and skipped around in circles. "Which one is it Rogue? No way Magneto, I wouldn't think you'd go for Tin Head, Pietro's not your type, Pyro," she looked thoughtful, "not sure," Amelia's eyes widened, "but that leaves," Rogue turned red.
"Rogue fancies Remy, Rogue fancies Remy," Amelia started to chant while swaying form side to side.
"Shut it or I'll zap ya one," Rogue warned taking off one of her black gloves, flexing her fingers experimentally.
"Okay whatever," Amelia grinned and waved it off casually, Rogue grinned and launched at her, Rogue screamed, her fingers had come into contact with a skull.
"You can't hurt me like this you know," Amelia, the skeleton, informed.
"Can you change back now?" Rogue asked looked no less than slightly freaked out.
"Yeh," Amelia was back to her old self, "By the way," she looked Rogue in the eye, "how is the control coming along?"
Rogue looked away and rubbed her arm tentatively, "Not so good," she mumbled.
Amelia let out a deep breath and shook her head, "Rogue, I told you what you had to do, it's been three years, something must have happened?" Rogue refused to meet her eyes, "You haven't done anything have you?" Rogue shook her head. "Then you better start now, make up for lost time," Amelia grinned grabbing both of Rogue's hands.
"What if I hurt you?" Rogue asked.
"Darling, I'm the safest person you can practise worth," Amelia smirked.
---The Dome---
"Andrew, where is Amelia?" Magneto demanded coming up behind the young mutant.
"Busy," he replied and walked off.
"Don't use that tone with me," Magneto ordered.
"Look here magnet head, Amelia and I are not your lackeys, nor do we care for your cause, we're here to get experience and when we're done, we'll leave, this is a co-operation, strictly non-dominating relationship," Andrew smirked, "you follow?"
"You will obey me," Magneto roared raised his hand, several metal contraptions flew towards Andrew but he had already opened a portal and stepped through, the objects crashed into Magneto.
Andrew stuck his head back through the portal, "I said no dominating, I meant no dominating, don't try a stunt like that again," he warned and was gone.
---Remy Lebeau---
The currently depressed Cajun lay stretched out on his bed, his thoughts on prier events.
---Flashback---
He leaned with his arms crossed against a crate, thunder roared and lightning flashed in the distance as Storm dealt with Pyro. He sighed, fingering his deck of cards, shuffling them one handed while his other hand had its fingers wrapped around his metal pole.
He heard a gasp, and a slight shuffle, he pressed his ear to the crate and heard the scrapping of cloths against the rain-soaked wood. He stood up, no longer leaning on the crate, then she came around the corner, she gasped, he smiled, he had that effect on people. He gripped the first card on his deck, drew it out, showed it to her and smiled.
She looked at it; the King of Hearts, then she looked at him, the King of Hearts was his signature card. She reached up as their eyes locked and her tentative fingers touched the card, he brought it down between them. Smiling once more he lit it without a second thought, he grinned, saluted her, turned and made off with his metal pole leaving a dazed girl in his wake.
The rest of that day his thoughts had been filled with thoughts of the brunette with the white bangs either side of her shapely face. It wasn't until later that he found out what her power was; skin to skin contact meant lights out. To him, that sense of restriction only made her all the more enticing, a challenge, and what man doesn't like a challenge, especially when it comes to pretty girls.
---End Flashback---
Remy yawned and stretched out in his baggy black pants and tight, sleeveless black top. He smiled to himself as his mind slipped into the semiconscious state it was always in when he was asleep. Then his thoughts wondered to a certain green eyed beauty, why did she torment him so?
---Andrew---
There was mumbling coming from the room he shared with Gambit, the door was shut tight so the sounds were muffled and hard to decipher but from what he could hear the same thing was being repeated. Nasty mental images poured freely into his mind and Andrew shook his head to clear it before teleporting through the door and onto his bed so as to not make a sound and disturb his partner.
Remy turned over in his bed and muttered something under his breath, "Rogue," he whimpered.
"Okay," Andrew said to himself, "that is disturbing, I am not staying here," and with that, he was the out the room faster than Remy could say Rogue.
---Rogue and Amelia---
"Try again," Amelia instructed, Rogue closed her eyes in concentration then re-opened them slowly, "you ready?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah," Rogue said, Amelia held out her hands but Rogue looked apprehensive.
"Come on, just try," Amelia grinned and Rogue tentatively lowered her hands, her eyes shut tight, she clenched her teeth waiting for the surge of memories…they didn't come.
Rogue opened her eyes thinking she was going to see a skeleton Amelia but she was wrong, she looked at their hands, they were touching, skin to skin contact, Rogue grinned, "I," she was lost for words.
"Did it?" Amelia asked, Rogue grinned, "Let's keep practising," at that moment a portal opened about a metre away and Andrew stepped out.
"I refuse to room with him anymore," he announced, Amelia snorted.
"Got to go Rogue, can you find your own way back," Rogue nodded, "well, bye darling," she waved and they were both gone.
---Magneto's hide out---
"You'll never guess what I found out," Amelia taunted grinning.
"Do I want to know?" Andrew asking looking scarred.
"I don't think it would interest you, but it will give us something to do before we move onto phase two," Amelia smirked darkly.
"When are we planning on getting on with it anyway?" he asked scratching his back.
"When he's wrapped around our fingers," Amelia smirked, "then it will be all too easy. And in the meantime, we're going to set Rogue up with Remy," Andrew looked horrified.
"No, I am not getting involved," he made to run but she caught him round the neck, "get off!"
"Oh come on, it'll be fun, especially watching you make an idiot out of yourself," she smiled at her brother invitingly.
"That is the exact reason I do not want to get involved," he mumbled.
"It'll be easy, and anyway," her hand turned into bones only, she ran a bony finger over his neck, "what choice do you have?"
"I give," he sighed.
"Good, phase 1.5 is now underway," Amelia smirked, "and it's going to be so much fun."
-----
spectra2 - Thank you for your suggestion but the idea of this story is that Rogue ends up with Remy, so I'm not going to pair her up with Andrew.
FlamezBlaze1 - I don't know if Andrew should go after Wanda, I don't think he's quite her type, as for Amelia/Quicksilver, I might try that if other people suggest it.
evosmylife (nice name) - Andrew's power is instant transportation but through portals, rips in the space time continuum sort of idea, hope that clears that up, being behind sucks, I share your pain. Anyway, what epi are you up to anyway?
psychonite - Thanks
Flamming Fire Goddess - It's writing, not wrighting. ^_^;;; Anyway, it's Romy all the way but I don't know much about Piotr, only that he's Colossos yeh? Is there a connection in the series between Pyro and Wanda? I know nothing about Pyro, not even his real name, is it St John? Anyway, thanks for reviewing
