Chapter 10
Lexa followed Rogue after she walked off.
"Rogue...are you sure you want Gambit breaking the code cause you know he's right...he is the enemy."
"Right now I don't care Lex. I just want to find Lance and Wanda and the main reason they're missing is me."
"What if he uses it against us?"
"He won't...or we could just change the codes after we find them. Kitty can do it cause you know she's good with computers."
"Then why don't we just ask her to break the code?"
"Cause she's not thinking straight. The only place her minds at right now is Lance lala land."
"What if he gets caught?"
"Then we tell them it's my fault...and get a couple of hours in the danger room."
"Auggg there is no point in arguing with you is there? Why do you have to be soo stubborn?"
"I dunno...so does this mean you think my plan sucks?"
"No cause of course your right we do have to find Wanda, but I do have a question...who are you gonna make a long distance call to?" Lexa asked.
"I'll tell you later tonight. Now time to go to class cause your gonna be late."
"Fine but promise to tell me when I get home," Lex said.
"I will and call me if you get anything on Lance," Rogue yelled to her as Lexa walked away.
"I will," she called back.
4th Period Geometry
"Do you think we'll find anything on Wanda she's been gone for two days," Pietro asked the person who was sitting next to him and someone he had a lot in common with. (coughplayascough).
"Je ne sais pas. Guess you'll find out after school." Gambit told Quicksilver.
"What about you...you think breaking the X-men security code is gonna be easy?"
"Oui, they don't call me the best for no reason," Remy replied cockily.
Pietro snickered at that and then said, "What are you gonna after all this goes by and my dad finds out you have access to their system?"
"Je ne sais pas," Gambit replied and looked out the window. Et that's the reason I don't wanna do this. In the end I'm gonna be forced to chose between Mon job ET Mon heart. What's gonna be Mon choice? Remy thought.
5th period Geometry
"So shelia, you want us to get started right after school?" Pyro asked Rogue.
"Yeah."
"You OK?"
"Yeah."
"Are you listening?"
"Yeah."
"Are you really a mate trapped in a sheilas body?"
"Yea...what NO!"
"Aha so you weren't listening to me."
"Well sorry but ah'm kinda busy thinking...something you should try once in a while."
"Ouch...no wonder your friends with Wanda. You guys share that bitchy attitude."
"Yeah...but for some reason that bitchy attitude seems to attract you and Gambit," Rogue told him.
"Gambits feelings haven't gone unnoticed I see."
"No...and neither the ones you have for Wanda," Rogue countered.
"Aghh...why does everyone...Scarlet and I...Agghh," John said frustrated. Rogue smirked at least that got him to shut-up she thought.
6th period Home EC
"Katherine pay attention! Your burning your muffins...you do know this is half your grade," Kitty's teacher yelled at her. Kitty looked up at her expressionless.
"Oh right...I'm like working on it," she said while taking her burned muffins out of the oven.
Oh Lance...I'll find you she thought while turning to face out the window.
6th Period Gym
Lexa was dressed in her gym clothes and looking for a certain speed demon. She smelled him before she saw him, which was natural since he had grabbed her and ran like hell.
"What's the big idea?" she asked when they finally stopped behind the locker rooms.
"Nothing just thought we should save our energy for the big search party after school."
"Ok...so what do you wanna do?"
"I dunno know...talk I guess," Pietro answered.
"Hey," Lexa said after a few minutes of awkward silence. Pietro looked over to her.
"I didn't know you had a ring," she said while grabbing Pietros hand to get a better look at the silver ring on his hand.
"Yeah...well you know, girls are to busy looking at something else that they never really notice the ring," Pietro said cockily.
"Phtt...whatever. Surprise surprise...it's a Q for quicksilver right?" Lexa said talking about the engraved letter in the center of the ring.
"Yeah" Pietro said looking at the blue streaks in her hair.
"I still can't believe you did that to your hair," he told her.
Lexa gave a small chuckle before saying, "What...I wanted something new and different. You know Wanda did something to her hair also."
"Not surprised" he said and then kept quiet as she kept inspecting his ring.
"It looks good...your hair," Pietro said in almost a whispered after a couple of seconds.
Lexa brought her head up to look at him.
"Thanks," she murmured as he leaned in towards her. Their lips met and the both just got lost in their embrace. So soft was all that Pietro could think as his hands wrapped around her waist. Lexa's hands slowly sliped up to his neck. Pietro started sucking on her lips making Lexs mouth open and allowing his tongue to enter. They finally stopped for air and Lex looked up at Pietro as he looked down at her.
"Oh God," was the only thing she said and then let go of him, walked out of embrace and ran off.
"Shit" Pietro mumbled to himself as he ran a hand through his hair and watched her leave.
6th Period French
"Ok class today you have to go outside and draw anything you'd like. I thought this would be a fun assignment since we're learning about Van Gaul." The French teacher told her class. Rogue and Remy walked out the door last.
"So chere what do you wanna draw?"
"Je ne sais pas," she said while sitting on a bench. Gambit studied her as she sat there and then noticed that her foot was tapping the ground.
Didn't think Mon chere had a nervous habit he thought while going and standing behind her. He put his hands on her back and when Rogue felt them she stared to stand only to have him pull her back down.
"Chere you got to relax," he told her as he started giving her a massage. Rogue frowned but after a while started to relax and enjoy it.
"So why are you so stressed out?"
"Yah know probably cause of everything that's going on, whether we'll find Wanda and Lance,
Who the hell is after me, whether you'll get caught," Rogue said looking far away in the distance.
"Why not just tell de adults in the mansion what's going on?"
"Ah got them in this mess and I'm gonna get 'em out," Rogue said talking about lance and Wanda.
"It'd be easier if you had their help," Remy told her.
"Ah wanna do this on my own...yah know prove that I can do it on my own without the adult supervision."
"You wanna prove that you're not a petite fille?"
"Ya...show some independence...Ah guess," Remy stopped massaging her back and slowly moved his finger from her neck down to her spine making her shiver.
"What exactly are you planning bebe?" Gambit asked her curiously after watching her reaction to his touch.
"Ah'm gonna give 'em what they want...moi. In exchange for Wanda and Lance."
"Quoi" he said letting his hands leave her body and walking around to face her.
"If they want meh they can have meh...but it ain't gonna be pretty."
"Chere I can't let you do that."
"It ain't your decision to make. The only thing yah should worry 'bout is getting caught while sneaking in."
"Mais you don't know who it is...Remy don't think it's a good idea."
"What? Sneaking into the mansion or meh meeting mah stalker?"
"C'est mon job to sneak into places so it's de stalker thing Remy don't like."
"Well Rogue don't care what Remy thinks so Remy can just go off and cry lahke a little girl," Rogue said sarcastically.
"Chere you wound me," Remy said putting a hand to his heart and then squatting down so that her eyes could meet his brown (image inducer or whatever it's called).
"Ah can do worse," she said.
"I'm sure ya can...look I'm just worried," Remy said with lots of sincerity as his eyes turned the normal red and black.
Rogue just looked in his eyes and got lost in his handsome features.
"Yes," Remy looked confused and said, "What?"
"I'll...go out with you on Saturday," Rogue said while looking down at the ground feeling a little embarrassed. Remy smiled at her and the put his finger under her chin bringing it up so their eyes could meet. Rogue was blushing lightly but wasn't very noticeable under all her make-up.
"I'm glad," Remy said giving her his charming smile. He stared to move in towards her when Rogue said, "Don't."
"Why not Mon chere?" he asked as she felt his breath on her lips.
"Cause ah don't wanna hurt yah," she said closing her eyes.
"ROGUE!" Rogue opened her eyes and tilted her head to see who had called her.
"Lex?"
"Hey Gambit," Lexa said with an eyebrow raised.
"Bonjour petite"
"Can I borrow Rogue for a minute?"
"D'accord"
"Thanks," Lexa said grabbing Rogue by the arm and drag ginger her away.
"What was that about?" Lex asked Rogue smirking.
"Ah'm not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure...you were about to kiss Gambit."
"No he was about to kiss meh...anyway why aren't ya in class?"
"Right the reason I came to find you...Pietro...kissed me," X-23 said looking at the ground.
"What...you kissed...how?"
"We were talking and then all of a sudden his tongue was in my mouth," Lex said.
"Well...how do you feel about it?" rogue asked.
"I DUNNO...I guess I kinda...liked it," Lexa said smiling wide. Rogue just stared at the person who had come to be like a sister to her in awe.
"So you kissed him back?"
"Yeah."
"And you're here...how can you be here?"
"I...ran off."
"What...yah idiot...go back there."
"Why?"
"This is Pietro...you probably bruised his ego."
"I don't know what to say...I've never been in this kinda situation. I was raised to be a killing machine not a kissing one."
"Calm down. Go back, talk about, and just see what happens," Rogue advised.
"Easy for you to say you're not in this kinda mess...oh wait...you kind are aren't ya?" Lexa said with a small smile.
"Yeah...ah guess ah am, but we gotta fix these problems cause we already have other things ta handle."
"I guess."
"Go back to Pietro."
"Alright, guess I'll talk to you at home."
"k"
"Bye"
"Later"
Lexa found Pietro sitting with his head in his hands behind the locker rooms.
"Hey" she said as he looked up to see who it was.
"Hey" he said getting up. "Look...about that..." Pietro stared but was interrupted by Lexa's lips. When she backed away Pietro stared at her in shock but then asked, "What now?"
"I don't know you tell me...I've heard you're a professional at this," Lexa said smirking.
"Well...we definitely have something going on. Maybe we should...go out?"
"In what way?"
"What do you mean?"
"Go out like Boyfriend/Girlfriend or go out on dates?"
"I dunno...do you...wanna be my girlfriend?" Pietro asked while putting his arms around her waist. (Lol is that corny?'...Aww but it's cute...isn't it?")
"Hmmm...I dunno," Lex said while making it look like she was thinking. "I guess I will, but I have to warn you...if you break my heart you'll die," Lexa said while wrapping her hands around his neck.
"I'll remember that," Pietro said leaning while leaning in for a kiss.
Lexa gave a small giggle and said, "Good" then shut up to enjoy the make- out session.
Rogue walked back to find Gambit flirting with five other girls. She rolled her eyes and just started walking away from the sight. Gambit looked up just in time to see Rogue turn.
Shit he thought and ran over to her.
"Chere...where you going?" he asked while Rogue ignored him and kept walking.
"Rogue" Remy said and grabbed her hand making her stop.
"Gambit let go," she demanded.
"Aww chere are you jealous?"
"WHAT?" Rogue said turning to face him. "I have no reason to be jealous...I just have to worry about so many other things I don't have time for this B.S. Don't forget about your job after school," she said pulling her arm free.
"What about de talk X-23 disturbed as from?"
"Je ne sais pas," she said and walked away just as the bell rang. Remy just stood there and watched her leave.
After School
Kitty was waiting outside of lance's jeep for the others. Lexa was going to be driving and they were supposed to give John and Pietro a ride to the mall.
"'Ey Sheila," Pyro said.
"Hey" Kitty said with no enthusiasm.
"Worried about Rocky?"
"Yeah"
"Hey" Lexa and Pietro said showing up.
"Hey mates," Pyro said turning to them and saw that they were holding hands. (--??). Kitty also noticed this but decided to keep quiet...for now. The four got in the jeep a couple of seconds later and ended up at the mall in less than ten minutes.
"Ok guys remember to call us and Rogue if you find anything," Lexa told them.
"Will do," Pietro said while staring at her intensely.
"Alright then...bye," she said and drove off.
"Ok let's get this party started," Pyro said while walking towards the entrance of the mall being followed by a silver haired cutie pie.
"So...like what's new?" Kitty asked Lex.
"Not much."
"Really...so what's up with you and Pietro holding hands before?"
"That was friendly moral support."
"Uhhuh...and you and Rogue love Britney Spears."
"That's a lie."
"Exactly"
"Whatever," Lexa said turning into the gas station.
"I'll ask questions and you sniff around," Kitty said.
"Fine by me."
"Wait hold it!" Kitty yelled surprising Lexa.
"What?" Lexa asked.
"What's this?" Kitty asked holding Lexa's hand up towards the sun and watched as something glittered.
"Well Well Well...if it isn't a silver ring with a Q," Kitty said with a sarcastic tone.
"Let's talk about this later Kit, we have a job to do," Lexa said smirking.
"Fine...but Rogue's gonna love hearing this," Kitty said smirking.
"Oh yeah, she'll be thrilled," Lexa said sarcastically while walking in the opposite direction as kitty.
"You never know" Kitty said walking towards the gas stations mini mart.
"We'll meet in what...five?" Kitty asked.
"Yeah"
"She went that way you stupid Aussie."
"No mate I'm telling you...she went that way," Pyro said pointing in the opposite direction that Pietro was pointing.
"She's my sister, she's my twin and I'm telling you she went that way."
"You wanna bet?" John asked him.
"How much?"
"Winner gets whatever they want," John said.
"Alright I'm game and I still think she went that way," Pietro said pointing to the left.
"Well your wrong...she went that way," Pyro said confidently.
"How do you know?"
"Because that's the way to the house, if she'd gone the other way she'd be an idiot."
Realization dawned on Pietro, "Damit" he said. "Ok what do you want?"
"Nothing...yet. Come on we got work to do," John said walking in the same direction Wanda had less than 48 hours ago.
"So uh what are we looking for exactly?"
"Dunno mate...maybe somebody saw what happened."
"So why don't you ask," Pietro said.
"No you ask."
"No you."
"Noooo You," john said.
"You infinity," Pietro said triumphantly. John rolled his eyes.
"Fine but when we find Wanda she's gonna be happier with me," John said with a dreamy smile thinking about the ways she might thanks him.
"Then I'll ask" Pietro said interrupting John's thoughts.
"No I will"
"No I will"
"No you told me to do it so I will!"
"Nooo...I wanna..."
"Ok stop stop stop...if we're gonna find Wanda we have to work together."
"Well that's gonna be hard especially if we argue all the time."
"No shit Sherlock," Pyro said.
"Ok then let's stop and think," Pietro said while walking down the street with a pyromaniac close behind. "Maybe she dropped something," Pietro added.
"Hopefully she dropped her cell phone...cause it'll be easy to know it's her...you know it's red and has that weird cross on the cover," Pyro said while looking at the floor.
"mmmhmmm" Pietro said also looking down.
A couple seconds later they looked at each other and said in unison, "Her cell phone."
Rogue got out of Scott's car and walked into the mansion to find Warren waiting for them.
"Hey guys!" he called to everybody who arrived. Elizabeth walked in and greeted him.
"Just waiting to tell you all that the adults have left," Warren said.
"What do you mean?" the fearless leader asked.
"Well they said that Juggernaut escaped again so they went to stop him," Warren said.
"Alone...sometimes all of us combined can't beat him," Jean said sounding worried.
"They said they had a plan," Warren shrugged.
"When will they come back?" Rogue asked.
"They said it might take a while but they'd probably be back by Saturday." Rogue nodded to the answer and walked upstairs taking the phone in the hall with her. Walking into her room and making sure to lock the door she dialed a number and waited for a replay. Finally someone picked up.
"I knew you would call," said the voice in the other end.
"If you knew I would call you also know what I want to know," Rogue said.
"Yes of course for I've seen what has happened."
"Don't stall Irene...I don't have time."
"Rogue the answer to all the problems is in front of your face. You're just not being smart and you're being blinded by a powerful emotion."
"What are yah talking 'bout Irene?"
"All in good time my child."
"Look ah didn't call to get inta a family reunion...can yah help meh find mah friends or not?" Rogue asked irritated.
"I see you're still upset about Raven and the fact that we didn't tell you the truth." Rogue didn't respond to the statement. Irene sighed but then kept talking.
"I have not seen that far into the future to tell you where your friends are...but as we speak another of your soldiers is falling."
"What? Who?" Rogue asked as Irene stayed quiet. "Irene tell me who?" Rogue yelled into the phone.
"Someone who is very important to you...you better hurry," and she hung up leaving a confused Rogue. Rogue turned around towards the balcony but that's when she noticed she wasn't alone.
"Gambit?" Rogue said in shock to the Cajun behind her, "What are yah doing here?"
"I thought this was Mon job."
"How long ya been here?" she asked.
"Long enough...what's wrong chere you don't look so good. Who was that you were talkin ta?"
"Someone who knows all."
"Destiny...what she say?"
"I'm not sure" Rogue said while still in confusion. A couple of seconds later she finally realized what was going on.
"Oh Gawd...LEX" Rogue yelled.
"Quoi wrong?" Gambit asked a little confused.
"C'mon gambit yah got ta get me to that gas station now," Rogue yelled while grabbing his arm and dragging him towards her door.
"What about the code for de cameras?"
"Do that later we have to do something al little more important right now," she said.
"Chere...I think you're forgetting that I'm not really welcomed here." He told her as she tried dragging him downstairs.
"right...meet meh in front of the gates," she said letting him go and walking down the hall as Gambit jumped of the balcony and landed as graceful as a cat on the ground.
"Hey so umm...like did you see this guy here late last night?' Kitty asked the guy at the counter while batting her eyes and showing a picture of lance to him.
"Uhh..."
Lexa was outside sniffing around and having a conversation in her head, just trying to see how things connect.
Well the Cajun scent that's all over the cards is definitely here. Why would anyone want to hurt Rogue...especially on Valentine's Day. It's not like she'd doing any...Gambit. OMG why haven't any of us pieced this together. Rogue's going out with Gambit on Saturday, which just happens to be Valentine's, and the scent on the cards, is Cajun, which is what Gambit is. They're after Rogue cause of GAMBIT. It has to be someone he knows...I gotta tell them Lexa said getting ready to turn but with all the excitement of piecing things together she failed to notice the Cajun scent had gotten stronger, and before she realized it a hand was covering her nose and mouth with some kind of cloth...that was soaked in ammonia. (is that what the liquid is? Cause I have no idea ???)
As she started to lose conciseness she thought Rogue...got...to...leave...sign and with her last strength she slipped Pietro's ring off and it dropped onto the pavement in silence. She started making protesting noise and the person who was trying to take her failed to notice that he hit her comlink.
Pietro and John were about to try and call Wanda's cell when all of a sudden Lexa's phone went off scaring both mutants.
"What the..." Pyro said.
"It must be Lexa...remember their comlinks are connected to their cell phones. Here let me get it............Hello?" Pietro said. All he heard was what sounded like Lexa's voice struggling with someone and then he heard it.
"Don't worry fillie...it will soon be over." and then Lexa's voice stopped.
"Lexa?...Lexa?..." Pietro said and then everything went silent.
"Mate what's wrong?" Pyro asked but before he finished Pietro was long gone.
Pietro arrived at the gas station in less than a minute and looked around in less than 30 seconds. He stopped when he noticed something on the ground when he picked it up his eyes widened in horror...his ring.
Rogue and Gambit arrived less than five minutes after her call to Irene and when they got there they found Quicksilver looking at something dumb struck.
Kitty noticed the southern couple arrive, "Thanks," she told the counter boy and walked out.
"Like what are you guys doing here?" she asked confused.
Rogue walked up to Pietro and kitty and gambit followed her.
"Where's Pyro and X-23?" she asked him anxiously.
"Like Pietro where'd you come from?" Kitty asked. Pietro ignored Kitty's question and kept looking at the ring.
"Pyro's on that street Wanda disappeared from...but Lexa's...gone..." he said and just looked at the ring. Kitty noticed the ring by then and her eyes opened wide.
"ah'm to late," Rogue said and fainted...the last thing she heard and felt was Gambit calling out 'chere' and feeling him catch her.

Chapter 10
Lexa followed Rogue after she walked off.
"Rogue...are you sure you want Gambit breaking the code cause you know he's right...he is the enemy."
"Right now I don't care Lex. I just want to find Lance and Wanda and the main reason they're missing is me."
"What if he uses it against us?"
"He won't...or we could just change the codes after we find them. Kitty can do it cause you know she's good with computers."
"Then why don't we just ask her to break the code?"
"Cause she's not thinking straight. The only place her minds at right now is Lance lala land."
"What if he gets caught?"
"Then we tell them it's my fault...and get a couple of hours in the danger room."
"Auggg there is no point in arguing with you is there? Why do you have to be soo stubborn?"
"I dunno...so does this mean you think my plan sucks?"
"No cause of course your right we do have to find Wanda, but I do have a question...who are you gonna make a long distance call to?" Lexa asked.
"I'll tell you later tonight. Now time to go to class cause your gonna be late."
"Fine but promise to tell me when I get home," Lex said.
"I will and call me if you get anything on Lance," Rogue yelled to her as Lexa walked away.
"I will," she called back.
4th Period Geometry
"Do you think we'll find anything on Wanda she's been gone for two days," Pietro asked the person who was sitting next to him and someone he had a lot in common with. (coughplayascough).
"Je ne sais pas. Guess you'll find out after school." Gambit told Quicksilver.
"What about you...you think breaking the X-men security code is gonna be easy?"
"Oui, they don't call me the best for no reason," Remy replied cockily.
Pietro snickered at that and then said, "What are you gonna after all this goes by and my dad finds out you have access to their system?"
"Je ne sais pas," Gambit replied and looked out the window. Et that's the reason I don't wanna do this. In the end I'm gonna be forced to chose between Mon job ET Mon heart. What's gonna be Mon choice? Remy thought.
5th period Geometry
"So shelia, you want us to get started right after school?" Pyro asked Rogue.
"Yeah."
"You OK?"
"Yeah."
"Are you listening?"
"Yeah."
"Are you really a mate trapped in a sheilas body?"
"Yea...what NO!"
"Aha so you weren't listening to me."
"Well sorry but ah'm kinda busy thinking...something you should try once in a while."
"Ouch...no wonder your friends with Wanda. You guys share that bitchy attitude."
"Yeah...but for some reason that bitchy attitude seems to attract you and Gambit," Rogue told him.
"Gambits feelings haven't gone unnoticed I see."
"No...and neither the ones you have for Wanda," Rogue countered.
"Aghh...why does everyone...Scarlet and I...Agghh," John said frustrated. Rogue smirked at least that got him to shut-up she thought.
6th period Home EC
"Katherine pay attention! Your burning your muffins...you do know this is half your grade," Kitty's teacher yelled at her. Kitty looked up at her expressionless.
"Oh right...I'm like working on it," she said while taking her burned muffins out of the oven.
Oh Lance...I'll find you she thought while turning to face out the window.
6th Period Gym
Lexa was dressed in her gym clothes and looking for a certain speed demon. She smelled him before she saw him, which was natural since he had grabbed her and ran like hell.
"What's the big idea?" she asked when they finally stopped behind the locker rooms.
"Nothing just thought we should save our energy for the big search party after school."
"Ok...so what do you wanna do?"
"I dunno know...talk I guess," Pietro answered.
"Hey," Lexa said after a few minutes of awkward silence. Pietro looked over to her.
"I didn't know you had a ring," she said while grabbing Pietros hand to get a better look at the silver ring on his hand.
"Yeah...well you know, girls are to busy looking at something else that they never really notice the ring," Pietro said cockily.
"Phtt...whatever. Surprise surprise...it's a Q for quicksilver right?" Lexa said talking about the engraved letter in the center of the ring.
"Yeah" Pietro said looking at the blue streaks in her hair.
"I still can't believe you did that to your hair," he told her.
Lexa gave a small chuckle before saying, "What...I wanted something new and different. You know Wanda did something to her hair also."
"Not surprised" he said and then kept quiet as she kept inspecting his ring.
"It looks good...your hair," Pietro said in almost a whispered after a couple of seconds.
Lexa brought her head up to look at him.
"Thanks," she murmured as he leaned in towards her. Their lips met and the both just got lost in their embrace. So soft was all that Pietro could think as his hands wrapped around her waist. Lexa's hands slowly sliped up to his neck. Pietro started sucking on her lips making Lexs mouth open and allowing his tongue to enter. They finally stopped for air and Lex looked up at Pietro as he looked down at her.
"Oh God," was the only thing she said and then let go of him, walked out of embrace and ran off.
"Shit" Pietro mumbled to himself as he ran a hand through his hair and watched her leave.
6th Period French
"Ok class today you have to go outside and draw anything you'd like. I thought this would be a fun assignment since we're learning about Van Gaul." The French teacher told her class. Rogue and Remy walked out the door last.
"So chere what do you wanna draw?"
"Je ne sais pas," she said while sitting on a bench. Gambit studied her as she sat there and then noticed that her foot was tapping the ground.
Didn't think Mon chere had a nervous habit he thought while going and standing behind her. He put his hands on her back and when Rogue felt them she stared to stand only to have him pull her back down.
"Chere you got to relax," he told her as he started giving her a massage. Rogue frowned but after a while started to relax and enjoy it.
"So why are you so stressed out?"
"Yah know probably cause of everything that's going on, whether we'll find Wanda and Lance,
Who the hell is after me, whether you'll get caught," Rogue said looking far away in the distance.
"Why not just tell de adults in the mansion what's going on?"
"Ah got them in this mess and I'm gonna get 'em out," Rogue said talking about lance and Wanda.
"It'd be easier if you had their help," Remy told her.
"Ah wanna do this on my own...yah know prove that I can do it on my own without the adult supervision."
"You wanna prove that you're not a petite fille?"
"Ya...show some independence...Ah guess," Remy stopped massaging her back and slowly moved his finger from her neck down to her spine making her shiver.
"What exactly are you planning bebe?" Gambit asked her curiously after watching her reaction to his touch.
"Ah'm gonna give 'em what they want...moi. In exchange for Wanda and Lance."
"Quoi" he said letting his hands leave her body and walking around to face her.
"If they want meh they can have meh...but it ain't gonna be pretty."
"Chere I can't let you do that."
"It ain't your decision to make. The only thing yah should worry 'bout is getting caught while sneaking in."
"Mais you don't know who it is...Remy don't think it's a good idea."
"What? Sneaking into the mansion or meh meeting mah stalker?"
"C'est mon job to sneak into places so it's de stalker thing Remy don't like."
"Well Rogue don't care what Remy thinks so Remy can just go off and cry lahke a little girl," Rogue said sarcastically.
"Chere you wound me," Remy said putting a hand to his heart and then squatting down so that her eyes could meet his brown (image inducer or whatever it's called).
"Ah can do worse," she said.
"I'm sure ya can...look I'm just worried," Remy said with lots of sincerity as his eyes turned the normal red and black.
Rogue just looked in his eyes and got lost in his handsome features.
"Yes," Remy looked confused and said, "What?"
"I'll...go out with you on Saturday," Rogue said while looking down at the ground feeling a little embarrassed. Remy smiled at her and the put his finger under her chin bringing it up so their eyes could meet. Rogue was blushing lightly but wasn't very noticeable under all her make-up.
"I'm glad," Remy said giving her his charming smile. He stared to move in towards her when Rogue said, "Don't."
"Why not Mon chere?" he asked as she felt his breath on her lips.
"Cause ah don't wanna hurt yah," she said closing her eyes.
"ROGUE!" Rogue opened her eyes and tilted her head to see who had called her.
"Lex?"
"Hey Gambit," Lexa said with an eyebrow raised.
"Bonjour petite"
"Can I borrow Rogue for a minute?"
"D'accord"
"Thanks," Lexa said grabbing Rogue by the arm and drag ginger her away.
"What was that about?" Lex asked Rogue smirking.
"Ah'm not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure...you were about to kiss Gambit."
"No he was about to kiss meh...anyway why aren't ya in class?"
"Right the reason I came to find you...Pietro...kissed me," X-23 said looking at the ground.
"What...you kissed...how?"
"We were talking and then all of a sudden his tongue was in my mouth," Lex said.
"Well...how do you feel about it?" rogue asked.
"I DUNNO...I guess I kinda...liked it," Lexa said smiling wide. Rogue just stared at the person who had come to be like a sister to her in awe.
"So you kissed him back?"
"Yeah."
"And you're here...how can you be here?"
"I...ran off."
"What...yah idiot...go back there."
"Why?"
"This is Pietro...you probably bruised his ego."
"I don't know what to say...I've never been in this kinda situation. I was raised to be a killing machine not a kissing one."
"Calm down. Go back, talk about, and just see what happens," Rogue advised.
"Easy for you to say you're not in this kinda mess...oh wait...you kind are aren't ya?" Lexa said with a small smile.
"Yeah...ah guess ah am, but we gotta fix these problems cause we already have other things ta handle."
"I guess."
"Go back to Pietro."
"Alright, guess I'll talk to you at home."
"k"
"Bye"
"Later"
Lexa found Pietro sitting with his head in his hands behind the locker rooms.
"Hey" she said as he looked up to see who it was.
"Hey" he said getting up. "Look...about that..." Pietro stared but was interrupted by Lexa's lips. When she backed away Pietro stared at her in shock but then asked, "What now?"
"I don't know you tell me...I've heard you're a professional at this," Lexa said smirking.
"Well...we definitely have something going on. Maybe we should...go out?"
"In what way?"
"What do you mean?"
"Go out like Boyfriend/Girlfriend or go out on dates?"
"I dunno...do you...wanna be my girlfriend?" Pietro asked while putting his arms around her waist. (Lol is that corny?'...Aww but it's cute...isn't it?")
"Hmmm...I dunno," Lex said while making it look like she was thinking. "I guess I will, but I have to warn you...if you break my heart you'll die," Lexa said while wrapping her hands around his neck.
"I'll remember that," Pietro said leaning while leaning in for a kiss.
Lexa gave a small giggle and said, "Good" then shut up to enjoy the make- out session.
Rogue walked back to find Gambit flirting with five other girls. She rolled her eyes and just started walking away from the sight. Gambit looked up just in time to see Rogue turn.
Shit he thought and ran over to her.
"Chere...where you going?" he asked while Rogue ignored him and kept walking.
"Rogue" Remy said and grabbed her hand making her stop.
"Gambit let go," she demanded.
"Aww chere are you jealous?"
"WHAT?" Rogue said turning to face him. "I have no reason to be jealous...I just have to worry about so many other things I don't have time for this B.S. Don't forget about your job after school," she said pulling her arm free.
"What about de talk X-23 disturbed as from?"
"Je ne sais pas," she said and walked away just as the bell rang. Remy just stood there and watched her leave.
After School
Kitty was waiting outside of lance's jeep for the others. Lexa was going to be driving and they were supposed to give John and Pietro a ride to the mall.
"'Ey Sheila," Pyro said.
"Hey" Kitty said with no enthusiasm.
"Worried about Rocky?"
"Yeah"
"Hey" Lexa and Pietro said showing up.
"Hey mates," Pyro said turning to them and saw that they were holding hands. (--??). Kitty also noticed this but decided to keep quiet...for now. The four got in the jeep a couple of seconds later and ended up at the mall in less than ten minutes.
"Ok guys remember to call us and Rogue if you find anything," Lexa told them.
"Will do," Pietro said while staring at her intensely.
"Alright then...bye," she said and drove off.
"Ok let's get this party started," Pyro said while walking towards the entrance of the mall being followed by a silver haired cutie pie.
"So...like what's new?" Kitty asked Lex.
"Not much."
"Really...so what's up with you and Pietro holding hands before?"
"That was friendly moral support."
"Uhhuh...and you and Rogue love Britney Spears."
"That's a lie."
"Exactly"
"Whatever," Lexa said turning into the gas station.
"I'll ask questions and you sniff around," Kitty said.
"Fine by me."
"Wait hold it!" Kitty yelled surprising Lexa.
"What?" Lexa asked.
"What's this?" Kitty asked holding Lexa's hand up towards the sun and watched as something glittered.
"Well Well Well...if it isn't a silver ring with a Q," Kitty said with a sarcastic tone.
"Let's talk about this later Kit, we have a job to do," Lexa said smirking.
"Fine...but Rogue's gonna love hearing this," Kitty said smirking.
"Oh yeah, she'll be thrilled," Lexa said sarcastically while walking in the opposite direction as kitty.
"You never know" Kitty said walking towards the gas stations mini mart.
"We'll meet in what...five?" Kitty asked.
"Yeah"
"She went that way you stupid Aussie."
"No mate I'm telling you...she went that way," Pyro said pointing in the opposite direction that Pietro was pointing.
"She's my sister, she's my twin and I'm telling you she went that way."
"You wanna bet?" John asked him.
"How much?"
"Winner gets whatever they want," John said.
"Alright I'm game and I still think she went that way," Pietro said pointing to the left.
"Well your wrong...she went that way," Pyro said confidently.
"How do you know?"
"Because that's the way to the house, if she'd gone the other way she'd be an idiot."
Realization dawned on Pietro, "Damit" he said. "Ok what do you want?"
"Nothing...yet. Come on we got work to do," John said walking in the same direction Wanda had less than 48 hours ago.
"So uh what are we looking for exactly?"
"Dunno mate...maybe somebody saw what happened."
"So why don't you ask," Pietro said.
"No you ask."
"No you."
"Noooo You," john said.
"You infinity," Pietro said triumphantly. John rolled his eyes.
"Fine but when we find Wanda she's gonna be happier with me," John said with a dreamy smile thinking about the ways she might thanks him.
"Then I'll ask" Pietro said interrupting John's thoughts.
"No I will"
"No I will"
"No you told me to do it so I will!"
"Nooo...I wanna..."
"Ok stop stop stop...if we're gonna find Wanda we have to work together."
"Well that's gonna be hard especially if we argue all the time."
"No shit Sherlock," Pyro said.
"Ok then let's stop and think," Pietro said while walking down the street with a pyromaniac close behind. "Maybe she dropped something," Pietro added.
"Hopefully she dropped her cell phone...cause it'll be easy to know it's her...you know it's red and has that weird cross on the cover," Pyro said while looking at the floor.
"mmmhmmm" Pietro said also looking down.
A couple seconds later they looked at each other and said in unison, "Her cell phone."
Rogue got out of Scott's car and walked into the mansion to find Warren waiting for them.
"Hey guys!" he called to everybody who arrived. Elizabeth walked in and greeted him.
"Just waiting to tell you all that the adults have left," Warren said.
"What do you mean?" the fearless leader asked.
"Well they said that Juggernaut escaped again so they went to stop him," Warren said.
"Alone...sometimes all of us combined can't beat him," Jean said sounding worried.
"They said they had a plan," Warren shrugged.
"When will they come back?" Rogue asked.
"They said it might take a while but they'd probably be back by Saturday." Rogue nodded to the answer and walked upstairs taking the phone in the hall with her. Walking into her room and making sure to lock the door she dialed a number and waited for a replay. Finally someone picked up.
"I knew you would call," said the voice in the other end.
"If you knew I would call you also know what I want to know," Rogue said.
"Yes of course for I've seen what has happened."
"Don't stall Irene...I don't have time."
"Rogue the answer to all the problems is in front of your face. You're just not being smart and you're being blinded by a powerful emotion."
"What are yah talking 'bout Irene?"
"All in good time my child."
"Look ah didn't call to get inta a family reunion...can yah help meh find mah friends or not?" Rogue asked irritated.
"I see you're still upset about Raven and the fact that we didn't tell you the truth." Rogue didn't respond to the statement. Irene sighed but then kept talking.
"I have not seen that far into the future to tell you where your friends are...but as we speak another of your soldiers is falling."
"What? Who?" Rogue asked as Irene stayed quiet. "Irene tell me who?" Rogue yelled into the phone.
"Someone who is very important to you...you better hurry," and she hung up leaving a confused Rogue. Rogue turned around towards the balcony but that's when she noticed she wasn't alone.
"Gambit?" Rogue said in shock to the Cajun behind her, "What are yah doing here?"
"I thought this was Mon job."
"How long ya been here?" she asked.
"Long enough...what's wrong chere you don't look so good. Who was that you were talkin ta?"
"Someone who knows all."
"Destiny...what she say?"
"I'm not sure" Rogue said while still in confusion. A couple of seconds later she finally realized what was going on.
"Oh Gawd...LEX" Rogue yelled.
"Quoi wrong?" Gambit asked a little confused.
"C'mon gambit yah got ta get me to that gas station now," Rogue yelled while grabbing his arm and dragging him towards her door.
"What about the code for de cameras?"
"Do that later we have to do something al little more important right now," she said.
"Chere...I think you're forgetting that I'm not really welcomed here." He told her as she tried dragging him downstairs.
"right...meet meh in front of the gates," she said letting him go and walking down the hall as Gambit jumped of the balcony and landed as graceful as a cat on the ground.
"Hey so umm...like did you see this guy here late last night?' Kitty asked the guy at the counter while batting her eyes and showing a picture of lance to him.
"Uhh..."
Lexa was outside sniffing around and having a conversation in her head, just trying to see how things connect.
Well the Cajun scent that's all over the cards is definitely here. Why would anyone want to hurt Rogue...especially on Valentine's Day. It's not like she'd doing any...Gambit. OMG why haven't any of us pieced this together. Rogue's going out with Gambit on Saturday, which just happens to be Valentine's, and the scent on the cards, is Cajun, which is what Gambit is. They're after Rogue cause of GAMBIT. It has to be someone he knows...I gotta tell them Lexa said getting ready to turn but with all the excitement of piecing things together she failed to notice the Cajun scent had gotten stronger, and before she realized it a hand was covering her nose and mouth with some kind of cloth...that was soaked in ammonia. (is that what the liquid is? Cause I have no idea ???)
As she started to lose conciseness she thought Rogue...got...to...leave...sign and with her last strength she slipped Pietro's ring off and it dropped onto the pavement in silence. She started making protesting noise and the person who was trying to take her failed to notice that he hit her comlink.
Pietro and John were about to try and call Wanda's cell when all of a sudden Lexa's phone went off scaring both mutants.
"What the..." Pyro said.
"It must be Lexa...remember their comlinks are connected to their cell phones. Here let me get it............Hello?" Pietro said. All he heard was what sounded like Lexa's voice struggling with someone and then he heard it.
"Don't worry fillie...it will soon be over." and then Lexa's voice stopped.
"Lexa?...Lexa?..." Pietro said and then everything went silent.
"Mate what's wrong?" Pyro asked but before he finished Pietro was long gone.
Pietro arrived at the gas station in less than a minute and looked around in less than 30 seconds. He stopped when he noticed something on the ground when he picked it up his eyes widened in horror...his ring.
Rogue and Gambit arrived less than five minutes after her call to Irene and when they got there they found Quicksilver looking at something dumb struck.
Kitty noticed the southern couple arrive, "Thanks," she told the counter boy and walked out.
"Like what are you guys doing here?" she asked confused.
Rogue walked up to Pietro and kitty and gambit followed her.
"Where's Pyro and X-23?" she asked him anxiously.
"Like Pietro where'd you come from?" Kitty asked. Pietro ignored Kitty's question and kept looking at the ring.
"Pyro's on that street Wanda disappeared from...but Lexa's...gone..." he said and just looked at the ring. Kitty noticed the ring by then and her eyes opened wide.
"ah'm to late," Rogue said and fainted...the last thing she heard and felt was Gambit calling out 'chere' and feeling him catch her.
