Chapter 8
Rogue woke up to a very nice feeling. She felt so good she didn't feel like getting up so she pulled the covers closer to her.
Mmm smells like spices...wait a minute...I don't have blankets that smell like spices Rogue eyes quickly opened and she sat up in the bed that wasn't hers. She looked around after getting used to the sunlight and found a room with lots of red and black.
Where am I? She thought while looking at the red drapes around the bed. She was still confused until she spotted the many packs of opened poker cards.
Gambit she thought. As if he had heard her, Remy walked into the room...wearing nothing but a towel. Rogue's jaw opened at what she saw and Remy had no idea she was up.
Whoa Rogue thought while watching little drops of water from his hair fall onto his muscular chest. Remy was looking in a mirror and was about to remove the towel when he caught Rogue starring.
"Chere" he said surprised while turning around to stare at her.
"Ummm...I...uh...just woke up," Rogue said stuttering. Remy smirked at her reaction and saw that she was still starting. (Well duh she has a better view now...lol )
"Like what you see?" he asked her. That snapped Rogue out of her dream state and quickly pulled the covers over her head.
"What's going on? What time is it? What am I doing here?"
"Whoa, chere calm down. Remy'll answer your questions after he gets dressed...now stay under those covers...unless you'd like to watch?" he said with a smirk.
"You wish," she yelled at him. After a couple of minutes he told her it was okay to look.
"So what time is it?" she asked him while making sure he was really dressed and found him watching her.
"It's 10 Mon Cherie" he said.
"WHAT? Why didn't you wake me up? What about school?"
"No worries chere, you slept pretty late last night so Remy told the others to go without you and that he'd take care of you. Anyway I thought you might want to think about everything that's happened and maybe come up with a plan or something."
"Yeah," Rogue answered after a while.
"So chere, you know anyone who has something against you?"
"No...well maybe, but I don't think they'd so any thing like this."
"What about Wanda, did she have any enemies?"
"Not that I know of," Rogue said then stared out a window to look at two birds sing on a tree branch.
Remy went and sat next to her and but his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure she's okay," he said.
Rogue looked at him with lots of gentleness then said, "I think you should be having this conversation with Pyro...he seemed real troubled."
"That's cause the Homme blames himself."
"Guess he really cares about her."
"Oui."
After he said that they just stared at each other for a couple of minutes and then Remy stared leaning in towards her.
Rogue's eye's shut and she felt his breath on her lips, when he was about to go in for the kill...a big shattering noise was heard from downstairs. (Damn)
Rogue looked at Remy and then the both hurried downstairs to see what the noise was. When they got there they saw that the living room window was broken. On the ground there was a rock with a piece of paper wrapped around it and glass was everywhere on the floor.
"Hi, hello, excuse me can you hear us?" the mad cheerleader asked John.
"Hmmm...oh what do you want?" John nastily said while looking up at them.
"uhh...how dare you. You now we might have to rethink going out with you," she snapped at him.
"Whatever" was the only thing he said.
"Fine then" she yelled at him and both cheerleaders marched out of the gym.
"Good riddance," John mumbled to himself and then just stared at a wall non- stop.
"You know, just sitting there and looking at the wall makes you look pretty stupid," A voice said.
John looked up to find Wanda a couple feet away from him wearing black heels, a short red skirt, and a black halter-top.
"Wanda...you're here," he said surprised.
"Yeah...and I've been looking all over for you," she said in a sexy voice while she walked over to him. When she was in front of him she got on him, straddling him.
John hugged her closer to his body and his face lifted as hers leaned in to his. Both of their lips met and John licked Wanda's lips causing her mouth to open and allow his tongue to probe the inside of her mouth. She started to respond fiercely with the same passion that he was, but then her head was pulled back and she screamed in agony.
"John...help me" was the last ting she said before screaming again.
Hearing Wanda scream cause John to open his eyes and when they were wide opened he noticed that he was still in Gym with all his classmates running around like idiots.
He looked around and wondered what had happened but what he didn't know was that the weird event or daydream he just had, happened somewhere else...
John...Wanda woke up to a feeling of pain. When her eyes opened she found a girl her age with blonde curls and blue eyes staring at her. She was also paying more attention to the fact that the pieces of blond shit was pulling her hair back making her neck bend back too.
"Bonjour petite, glad to see you've finally awaken."
Wanda tried to respond but that's when she noticed that she was gagged and her legs and arms were tied up. She started fidgeting and moving around tiring to get the ropes off. She was about to use her powers when the blonde girl started speaking.
"Don't worry you won't be alone for long...some one will be joining you very soon," she said with an evil smirk and walked out of the room closing the door and leaving Wanda in the dark.
What the heck is going on and where the hell am I? Wanda thought while looking around only to see nothing. She tried using her powers but it was useless since her hands were bonded together.
I've got to get out of here..............................what the hell was I dreaming about before that bitch woke me up...I was with...never mind...let me focus on how I'm gonna get out instead
Pietro ditched gym; he was out on a cliff looking at nothing but the blue ocean.
"Do you come her often?"
Pietro turned around to find X-23 looking at the ocean too. He looked at her from head to toe.
"When did you go change?" he asked noticing that she wasn't wearing what she was wearing when they got to school. Lexa was wearing shorts that went up to mid thigh on her and a blue shirt that showed her bellybutton and had the straps go down to her shoulders.
"Before coming here," she answered.
"How did you know I was here?"
"After going to the mansion to change I went to back to school, noticed you weren't there so I sniffed you out and my nose led me here."
Pietro turned back to looking at the ocean.
"So do you come here often?" she asked again while going and sitting her next to him.
"When I want to be alone and think," was how he responded.
"Well that's to bad!" she said.
"What is?"
"That your not gonna be alone this time...meaning...I'm not leaving"
"Whatever" he said a little annoyed. "Won't you get in trouble for leaving 6th period, don't you X-geeks have a code against missing class?"
"Yeah...but I though being here was more important."
"Why?"
"I dunno, it just feels right...being here. So how do you feel? I mean it's your twin out there."
"We aren't really that close...you know," he said and turned to stare at X- 23. "I mean...I've always looked up to my father and followed him, but Wanda always been independent and wanting to do things her way. Sometimes I forget we're related."
"Wanda doesn't like to be pushed...you're a lot like her, you just don't know it...Anyway you say you're not close, if that's true why are you worried?" Lex asked.
"Cause she's still my sister." Pietro said and after that they were quiet and just enjoyed each other's company for a couple on minutes until Pietro realized something.
"Hey can't you find Wanda...you know the way you found me?" he asked Lex.
"Yeah, I've already thought of that...but I'm waiting."
"For what?" Pietro asked and then watched as Lexa took out a blue cell phone from her back pocket.
"A call"
"From who?"
"Rogue"
"What? Why are we waiting for when we might be able to find Wanda now?"
"Cause Rogue feels pretty responsible about what happened ands she's thinking of a plan to rescue Wanda."
"So," asked Pietro.
"So...I'm going to go with what she comes up with"
"Why?"
"Because we work as a team and if we're going to find Wanda, I think Rogue's the key."
"So what are we suppose to do until Rogue comes up with a brilliant idea?" Pietro asked sarcastically.
"Well you can act like a little bitch...or be patient and cooperate," Lexa snapped at him making Pietro shut up.
After a while Pietro got uncomfortable by all the silence so he turned back to X-23 and saw that her eyes were closed and her face was tilted up towards the sky. He took this time to study her closely...from her body up to the sharp features of her face and then up to her hair.
Lexa opened her eyes and turned to him, "What?" she asked annoyed.
"Nothing" he said and went back to looking at the ocean.
Weirdo...a cute weirdo but a weirdo none the less Lex thought and then turned back to the ocean too.
"So you related to wolverine?" Pietro asked.
"How could you tell?"
"The claws, the attitude...your temper" Lexa quickly turned back to face him. He thought he was gonna get punched or something but what she did shocked him...she laughed. He looked at her and smiled, Guess she's not that bad...for an X-geek.
Rogue was sitting on one of the couches in the brotherhoods living room watching Gambit replace the window that had been broken that morning. In her hand was the piece of paper that was around the rock. It read:
"Who's sending these cards?
Don't bother to wonder
On Valentine's Day
You'll be six feet under"
Whoever or whatever is doing this seems to always be watching
"Chere you okay?" Remy asked worried at the fact that she hadn't said much.
"Huh...yeah fine...I think it's time I went home though," she said getting up.
"Remy'll go with you," he answered quickly.
"That's OK," Rogue said walking towards the door.
"Non chere, Remy going with you," Remy said grabbing her hand.
"I'm not a little girl gambit," Rogue yelled at him.
"I don't care, I'm not letting you go home alone."
"I'll be fine," Rogue yelled getting into his face.
"I'm not taking the risk," he answered getting into her face.
The both just glared at each other until, "aghh...fine" Rogue said opening the door.
Gambit followed her thinking, this belle femme is gonna be the death of me
Rogue walked into the mansion and slammed the door behind her. She was making her way upstairs but was stropped by Wolverine.
"Where you been stripes?"
"Nowhere."
"Did you go to school?"
"What makes you think I didn't."
"School called," he said getting closer.
"Stripes" he growled when he got close enough to smell her, "Why do you smell like one of Magneto's lackey?"
"Can we talk about this later...I have other things to do right now," she said and walked past him.
"Stripes?"
"Later" she said walking towards Lexa and Betts room. She walked in only to find it empty.
She walked over to the desk and found a note from Betsy saying, "I asked warren out as an apology for the black eye you gave him. I'll be back later luv ya - Betts"
Hmm...were is Lexa? Rogue thought while looking around the room.
Lexa climbed up to her bedroom and opened the balcony window to get in. She didn't want to go through the front door and bump into Logan. She was so busy giving a small chuckle she didn't notice the cold glare thrown her way.
"Where in hell have you been?" Came a voice behind her. Lex jumped up and turned around.
"Rogue! You scared the crap out of me, what's the big idea?"
"You still haven't answered my question?"
"Well were should I begin...MOM."
"Don't give me that attitude...anyway don't you know how to answer your cell phone I've left tons of messages. And I got a new card today. So where have you been?"
"I've been...hanging out with...Pietro."
"Maximoff?"
"Yeah he's pretty cool you know," Lex said while looking at the floor.
"That's great Wanda's missing and you went on a date with her brother."
"It wasn't a date."
"Uhuh...whatever."
"It wasn't...I was giving him moral support, I mean it is his sister that's missing."
"So what did you guys do?" Rogue asked in her normal tone of voice now that she wasn't that angry.
"We just hung out and talked. So did anything happen?"
"If you had answered your phone you would know. I got another card and I was helping Gambit repair the window in the BoM living room."
"Why? It was fine when we left in the morning."
"Yeah, but somebody decided to give a big hole."
"Did you see who it was?" Lexa asked.
"Does it look like I saw who it was." Rogue snapped.
"Damn...what has you ticked today?" Lexa asked getting annoyed at Rogue's attitude.
"Gambit, Logan...all men"
"What did they do?"
"They treat me like a little girl that's what they do," Rogue almost yelled.
"Whoa, calm down. Here let me but some music on maybe that'll help," Lex said while walking to her stereo and turning the radio on.
/ Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh... I've had it up to here! /
"Isn't that appropriate," Lex said while smirking at Rogue and turning the volume down.
"Ha Ha Ha" Rogue answered dryly.
"Where's Betts?" Lex asked hoping to get Rogue in a better mood.
"Out with Warren...it looks like you gave him a black eye." Rogue said while giving the note to her.
"Whoops...remind me to apologize. So where's this new card they send you?"
Rogue, Lexa...may I please see you in my office Professor Xavier's voice rang through their heads before Rogue could answer.
"Don't say anything about Wanda," Rogue said and walked out of the room with X-23 behind her.
They both walked in to his office to find him, storm, and wolverine waiting.
"Hello girls please sit down," Prof X told them.
"Principal Kelly called to inform us that you Rogue missed the whole day of school and you Lexa missed 6th period. Care to explain?" Prof X asked kindly.
"And we'd also like to know where you went this morning?" Storm added. Wolverine just stared at them like if he was ready to bite their heads off.
"Ummm...we got hungry," Lex said.
"At three o'clock in the morning?" Logan growled.
"Is anything even open at that time?" Strom asked.
"Uh Wendy's?" Lex said.
"Jack in the box?" Rogue said.
Then both of the looked at each other and said "Doughnut Shop". All three adults looked at the teenage girls like they were crazy.
"Ok Ok, you caught us. We were at the BoM," Lexa said trying to sound dramatic. Rogue turned and glared at her but Lex kept talking.
"The had a party so we snuck out and went. Anyway it's been a while since they've caused trouble so our lives have been pretty boring," Lexa said dramatically.
"We need a little action in our lives!!" Rogue said playing along with Lex.
"We'll let it go this time," The Prof said while Ororo stared at the girls and Wolverine looked like he was about to protest.
"Now, do any of you have any idea to where Kitty is?" Prof X asked.
"Kitty? No," Lexa answered.
"She's probably with Lance," Rogue said.
"Ok...your dismissed," and then both Goths left.
"Well at least that explains why they smell of the Brotherhood and Acolyte" Wolverine said, "But I feel like they're hiding something...I'm going to find out what," he said while walking towards the door.
"Logan wait," Storm, said grabbing on to his arm. "They are big girls. I think you should leave them alone."
"Ororo is right. They'll come to us if the need help." Prof X said while smirking at what he was seeing.
"Fine" Logan answered while looking at Storm who was still holding his arm.
"Wow like a whole day has gone by with Wanda missing," Kitty said while looking through the window of lance's jeep.
"I know...I didn't want to go back to the house cause I bet John and Pietro are fighting about who has the best idea to rescue her," Lance answered.
"Aww how cute, they have a little competition going on."
"Kitty it's not cute...they don't agree on anything, yet their goal is the same. You think they'd work together instead of fight."
Both Kitty and Lance stayed quiet for a while until he spoke up.
"Thanks for staying the whole day with me. Do you think you'll get in trouble?"
"Probably, but it's okay. I had fun," Kitty said while smiling at Lance.
"Well, we're here," Lance, said stooping in front of the mansion.
"Ok, I'll talk to you tomorrow,"
"Alright," Lance said as kitty leaned into his side of the car and gave a big kiss.
"Bye," Kitty said walking away.
"Bye," Lance said with a goofy smile on his face.
Kitty walked into her room exhausted.
"Had a talk with Logan?" Rogue asked.
"Yeah,"
"What did he say?" Lexa asked.
"He told me to call next time if I was gonna be out past 6," Kitty said while jumping on her bed.
"So what did you and Lance do?"
"Nothing...we just wanted to get away from everything that's happening," Kitty said and got up and walked into the balcony. She looked up at the stars, sighed and smiled.
"Young Love," Rogue said smiling and Lex just rolled her eyes.
"Damn it," Lance said realizing he was running out of gas. He stopped at a gas station and paid then he filled it up. After he realized he was hungry so he went back in the store to get some food. He grabbed a Pepsi and some hot cheetos. He was about to pay when he spotted a pink kitten stuffed animal.
This is perfect for Kitty he thought while grabbing it and going to pay. Then smiling he went to the parking lot but stopped when he felt a big pain in the back of his head.
As he was falling to the ground, the last thing he saw before blacking out was a wrench and the pink kitten hit the pavement.

After a while Pietro got uncomfortable by all the silence so he turned back to X-23 and saw that her eyes were closed and her face was tilted up towards the sky. He took this time to study her closely...from her body up to the sharp features of her face and then up to her hair.
Lexa opened her eyes and turned to him, "What?" she asked annoyed.
"Nothing" he said and went back to looking at the ocean.
Weirdo...a cute weirdo but a weirdo none the less Lex thought and then turned back to the ocean too.
"So you related to wolverine?" Pietro asked.
"How could you tell?"
"The claws, the attitude...your temper" Lexa quickly turned back to face him. He thought he was gonna get punched or something but what she did shocked him...she laughed. He looked at her and smiled, Guess she's not that bad...for an X-geek.
Rogue was sitting on one of the couches in the brotherhoods living room watching Gambit replace the window that had been broken that morning. In her hand was the piece of paper that was around the rock. It read:
"Who's sending these cards?
Don't bother to wonder
On Valentine's Day
You'll be six feet under"
Whoever or whatever is doing this seems to always be watching
"Chere you okay?" Remy asked worried at the fact that she hadn't said much.
"Huh...yeah fine...I think it's time I went home though," she said getting up.
"Remy'll go with you," he answered quickly.
"That's OK," Rogue said walking towards the door.
"Non chere, Remy going with you," Remy said grabbing her hand.
"I'm not a little girl gambit," Rogue yelled at him.
"I don't care, I'm not letting you go home alone."
"I'll be fine," Rogue yelled getting into his face.
"I'm not taking the risk," he answered getting into her face.
The both just glared at each other until, "aghh...fine" Rogue said opening the door.
Gambit followed her thinking, this belle femme is gonna be the death of me
Rogue walked into the mansion and slammed the door behind her. She was making her way upstairs but was stropped by Wolverine.
"Where you been stripes?"
"Nowhere."
"Did you go to school?"
"What makes you think I didn't."
"School called," he said getting closer.
"Stripes" he growled when he got close enough to smell her, "Why do you smell like one of Magneto's lackey?"
"Can we talk about this later...I have other things to do right now," she said and walked past him.
"Stripes?"
"Later" she said walking towards Lexa and Betts room. She walked in only to find it empty.
She walked over to the desk and found a note from Betsy saying, "I asked warren out as an apology for the black eye you gave him. I'll be back later luv ya - Betts"
Hmm...were is Lexa? Rogue thought while looking around the room.
Lexa climbed up to her bedroom and opened the balcony window to get in. She didn't want to go through the front door and bump into Logan. She was so busy giving a small chuckle she didn't notice the cold glare thrown her way.
"Where in hell have you been?" Came a voice behind her. Lex jumped up and turned around.
"Rogue! You scared the crap out of me, what's the big idea?"
"You still haven't answered my question?"
"Well were should I begin...MOM."
"Don't give me that attitude...anyway don't you know how to answer your cell phone I've left tons of messages. And I got a new card today. So where have you been?"
"I've been...hanging out with...Pietro."
"Maximoff?"
"Yeah he's pretty cool you know," Lex said while looking at the floor.
"That's great Wanda's missing and you went on a date with her brother."
"It wasn't a date."
"Uhuh...whatever."
"It wasn't...I was giving him moral support, I mean it is his sister that's missing."
"So what did you guys do?" Rogue asked in her normal tone of voice now that she wasn't that angry.
"We just hung out and talked. So did anything happen?"
"If you had answered your phone you would know. I got another card and I was helping Gambit repair the window in the BoM living room."
"Why? It was fine when we left in the morning."
"Yeah, but somebody decided to give a big hole."
"Did you see who it was?" Lexa asked.
"Does it look like I saw who it was." Rogue snapped.
"Damn...what has you ticked today?" Lexa asked getting annoyed at Rogue's attitude.
"Gambit, Logan...all men"
"What did they do?"
"They treat me like a little girl that's what they do," Rogue almost yelled.
"Whoa, calm down. Here let me but some music on maybe that'll help," Lex said while walking to her stereo and turning the radio on.
/ Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh... I've had it up to here! /
"Isn't that appropriate," Lex said while smirking at Rogue and turning the volume down.
"Ha Ha Ha" Rogue answered dryly.
"Where's Betts?" Lex asked hoping to get Rogue in a better mood.
"Out with Warren...it looks like you gave him a black eye." Rogue said while giving the note to her.
"Whoops...remind me to apologize. So where's this new card they send you?"
Rogue, Lexa...may I please see you in my office Professor Xavier's voice rang through their heads before Rogue could answer.
"Don't say anything about Wanda," Rogue said and walked out of the room with X-23 behind her.
They both walked in to his office to find him, storm, and wolverine waiting.
"Hello girls please sit down," Prof X told them.
"Principal Kelly called to inform us that you Rogue missed the whole day of school and you Lexa missed 6th period. Care to explain?" Prof X asked kindly.
"And we'd also like to know where you went this morning?" Storm added. Wolverine just stared at them like if he was ready to bite their heads off.
"Ummm...we got hungry," Lex said.
"At three o'clock in the morning?" Logan growled.
"Is anything even open at that time?" Strom asked.
"Uh Wendy's?" Lex said.
"Jack in the box?" Rogue said.
Then both of the looked at each other and said "Doughnut Shop". All three adults looked at the teenage girls like they were crazy.
"Ok Ok, you caught us. We were at the BoM," Lexa said trying to sound dramatic. Rogue turned and glared at her but Lex kept talking.
"The had a party so we snuck out and went. Anyway it's been a while since they've caused trouble so our lives have been pretty boring," Lexa said dramatically.
"We need a little action in our lives!!" Rogue said playing along with Lex.
"We'll let it go this time," The Prof said while Ororo stared at the girls and Wolverine looked like he was about to protest.
"Now, do any of you have any idea to where Kitty is?" Prof X asked.
"Kitty? No," Lexa answered.
"She's probably with Lance," Rogue said.
"Ok...your dismissed," and then both Goths left.
"Well at least that explains why they smell of the Brotherhood and Acolyte" Wolverine said, "But I feel like they're hiding something...I'm going to find out what," he said while walking towards the door.
"Logan wait," Storm, said grabbing on to his arm. "They are big girls. I think you should leave them alone."
"Ororo is right. They'll come to us if the need help." Prof X said while smirking at what he was seeing.
"Fine" Logan answered while looking at Storm who was still holding his arm.
"Wow like a whole day has gone by with Wanda missing," Kitty said while looking through the window of lance's jeep.
"I know...I didn't want to go back to the house cause I bet John and Pietro are fighting about who has the best idea to rescue her," Lance answered.
"Aww how cute, they have a little competition going on."
"Kitty it's not cute...they don't agree on anything, yet their goal is the same. You think they'd work together instead of fight."
Both Kitty and Lance stayed quiet for a while until he spoke up.
"Thanks for staying the whole day with me. Do you think you'll get in trouble?"
"Probably, but it's okay. I had fun," Kitty said while smiling at Lance.
"Well, we're here," Lance, said stooping in front of the mansion.
"Ok, I'll talk to you tomorrow,"
"Alright," Lance said as kitty leaned into his side of the car and gave a big kiss.
"Bye," Kitty said walking away.
"Bye," Lance said with a goofy smile on his face.
Kitty walked into her room exhausted.
"Had a talk with Logan?" Rogue asked.
"Yeah,"
"What did he say?" Lexa asked.
"He told me to call next time if I was gonna be out past 6," Kitty said while jumping on her bed.
"So what did you and Lance do?"
"Nothing...we just wanted to get away from everything that's happening," Kitty said and got up and walked into the balcony. She looked up at the stars, sighed and smiled.
"Young Love," Rogue said smiling and Lex just rolled her eyes.
"Damn it," Lance said realizing he was running out of gas. He stopped at a gas station and paid then he filled it up. After he realized he was hungry so he went back in the store to get some food. He grabbed a Pepsi and some hot cheetos. He was about to pay when he spotted a pink kitten stuffed animal.
This is perfect for Kitty he thought while grabbing it and going to pay. Then smiling he went to the parking lot but stopped when he felt a big pain in the back of his head.
As he was falling to the ground, the last thing he saw before blacking out was a wrench and the pink kitten hit the pavement.
