Crazy Like Me

~*~*~

Kitty reluctantly walked down the hall with Remy who had now refused to let go of her hand. "Hey, you okay?"

He was clutching a raggedy looking teddy bear to his chest and his red on black eyes were fearful like a small child. He shook his head. "Remy wan' to g'home." he pouted.

Kitty sighed, then smiled at him kindly as she continued leading him along and up the stairs. "This *is* your home now. Don't worry, it'll all be-" she stopped herself as they neared the top of the stairs. "Oh no!" Kitty smacked herself in the forehead with her free hand. There's was no one on the steps where she'd left Logan. She stopped at the top of the stairs and grabbed her radio as Remy watched her curiously. "Um..anybody on this channel...I lost Logan."

Ororo's voice was who answered. "Kitty, I just brought Toad back to his room. I found him and Kurt in the lover levels where they had Logan tied to a desk chair with duct tape. Kurt teleported away before I could get to them."

Kitty sighed. "Thanks Storm, I guess I'll keep an eye out. Our new patient, Gambit is here so I gotta bring him to his room first."

Professor Xavier was in his office looking at a chart he'd made of all the patients that were successfully back in their rooms. So far; Toad, Jean, and Scott were in their rooms. That left; Bobby, Hank, John, Rogue, Logan, and Kurt. Kitty was taking Remy to his room, and that was already a safe bet he'd stay there since he didn't know his way around.

Erik walked into Charles' office, nudging a reluctant Beast inside. "I found him raiding the cupboards for Twinkies."

Hank smiled sheepishly, his face covered in crumbs.

"Thank you Erik." Xavier marked Beast off the list of rebel patients. "I'll take him to his room, you can help the others finish the round up."

Erik nodded, leaving Beast in the office, then swiftly turned and left the room.

"Come with me Hank." Charles smiled at the mutant, then began wheeling out into the hall. "No tricks alright?" he winked.

Hank smiled toothily and strode beside Xavier's chair like a loyal dog.

Kitty pushed open the door to a single room, leading Remy inside. "Here you go, it's your new room." she smiled.

Remy cautiously stepped inside, nibling on the old teddy bear's ear. His red and black eyes widened as he took in the room. It was a perfect match to his old room. He grinned widely, running inside and hopping on his bed.

"It's safe." Kitty told him with a kind smile. "You like it?"

"Oui, Remy like!" he grinned broadly, bouncing happily on the bed.

Kitty turned to leave the room. "I gotta go now, but I'll come back and see you okay?" she saw the mutant nod, then closed the door all the way and stepped outside into the hall.

Ororo had just gathered Bobby and locked him in his room, and was now checking the cafeteria again when she heard yelling coming from the rec room.

"What are you doing?! We don't wanna go to Canada tonight!! STOP TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO CANADA!!!"

Ororo quirked an eyebrow as she quietly made her way to the room, stopping just before the entrance and carefully peeking in. She saw Rogue pulling Logan (who was still duct taped to the chair) towards the center of the room where she began un-taping him as gently as possible.

"Will ya'll quit yer damn hollerin'!? I'm tryin' ta get'cha free ya big oaf!!"

Logan growled, his face twisting as he flinched when a long strip of tape was ripped from his arm. "OOWW!! Fred doesn't like duct tape!!!" he grumbled, staring at the red skin of his bare arm which was now stripped of hair.

"Aw, quit it ya big baby, it'll grow back." Rogue told him, rolling her eyes as she peeled the rest of the tape from Logan's shirt, freeing him from the wheely chair.

Ororo stepped into the room, her hands on her hips as she stared at the two. She sighed, because Logan's sleeping pills had worn off so she would need to give him more, but she didn't have any with her. "Alright you two, it's VERY late and you both need to be in your rooms."

Rogue crossed her arms and marched toward Ororo. "Fine ah'll go. Everyone's jus' runnin' around like crazy anyways." she grumbled.

"Logan?" Ororo glared at him, raising a delicate eyebrow before her glare turned to a gentle smile.

He stared at her blankly then got up from the chair he'd previously been stuck too. Logan frowned, then poked at his shoulder where there was remnants of tape stuck to his t-shirt. "I'm sticky." he mumbled before looking to Ororo innocently.

She couldn't help but smile. "Okay, we'll get you some new pajamas to wear alright Logan? Now come with me."

He looked to Ororo and started walking toward her slowly, when a puff of smoke errupted in front of him and Kurt stood grinning and swishing his tail. "NO!" Logan hollered. "I DON'T WANNA GO BACK WITH THE BLUE KID!"

"Kurt!" Ororo yelled, running forward to grab him and Logan before the elf boy could take off again.

Of course, it was too late. "Bye byeee!!!" Kurt waved, grinning devilishly as he grabbed Logan's arm and teleported away.

Ororo groaned, bowing her head as she picked up her radio. "Charles? I've got Rogue, I DID have Logan, but Kurt came in and took him away again."

Professor Xavier's voice answered through some static a few seconds later. "Alright, keep trying Ororo. Erik may need some help, he's currently pursuing John through the halls. We can round up Kurt and Logan after and be done with this."
