A/N- I'm not going to go to the X-Men/Broody/Magneto on the Asteroid. I'm
just saying that it all happened. I know that this is probably one of the
worst chapters that I have ever written but I am running out of ideas! I
really am. But I've almost got the Kimy worked out!
DemonRogue13- Thanks!

"Wonder if the Shelia listened to you."
"She may trust Remy, but she never listens ta him."
"Don't say that. She may have listened." Melinda says.
"Doubtful. Kitty never listens." Piotr says.
"Yeah. Remy told her ta not go in de house after her cousin when the house was burnin an she went. Mon Chere has no sense! Remy had ta save her."
"That's not what happened." Piotr says.
"Dat's how Remy remembers it."
"Well, I think that I trust Piotr on this." Melinda says. "Did you ever get a different answer out of Kitty?"
"Non. Mon chere hasn't given Remy an answer."
"Did you ever bloody ask her?"
"She knows." Remy says. "And why are ya talkin ta Remy like he be an idiot?"
"I'm keeping my mouth shut." Melinda says.
"Dat's a change. Ya always say bad things about Remy."
"You just seem to like people insulting you. Kitty does it all the time and you never say anything to her."
"Mon chere just likes ta tease Remy is all."
"And we all bloody know that you don't believe that."
"Why didn't Magneto invite us with him?" Melinda asks changing the subject.
"Something about wanting to bloody keep us a secret from Xavier until 'it was time.'"
"That's great. Look at the loyalty from 'our leader'. He just leaves us here! Damn! Damn! Damn! Now even I envy Kitty!"
"Do ya want Remy dat bad fille?"
"No. She gets to go to whatever he's planning, or at least she has the chance. She gets to go on missions. Hell, she'll probably have more fun there in a day then we'll have this whole time."
"She has to bloody put up with Sarah."
"Where did she go? She may be my sister, but I don't ever know what she's doing. It's beyond me how anyone understands her, or even likes her."
"The brotherhood." Pyro says. "I heard Pietro whining about it when Mags called him in the other day. Her and Avalanche are-"
"Don't finish dat sentence! Remy don't want ta know. Rocky always did have bad taste."
"I heard that he might be going for your Shelia. Tell me that that wouldn't make you mad and I'll have to say that you're lying."
"Remy be mad if he touched her. He'll get Remy's callin card."
"Really scary." Melinda says rolling her eyes. "And then my sister will jump you and hump your leg or something the second that you walk in the door."
"Don't remind Remy. Mon Chere is enough trouble, Remy don't need more."
"Well I think that you are going to get it no matter what." Melinda says.
"Remy just can't help lookin dis good." (A/N- KRS, I just had to. I thought that you would like it though.)
"Call her cell. If she doesn't bloody answer then we know where she is."
"Dat's a good idea." Remy says leaving the room. Remy enters another room and dials the number. The phone rings several times before the voice mail answers.
"Hey It's Kitty I can't-"
"Like what are you doing?"
"Kate, I'm trying- Kurt!"
"What are you doing?" He asks.
"Recording my voicemail message."
"You know that you want my voice on there." He says.
"No I don't! Kurt! Great, now I have to do this again. Get out before I-"
"Dat's odd." Remy says hanging up the phone. He walks back into their poker room.
"Did she answer?" Melinda asks.
"Non."
"You got her bloody voicemail didn't you?"
"Yes."
"that's what I bloody got when I tried to call the Shelia. It's odd. One of us has to ask who that bloody guy is. He sounded a lot like you."
"Kitty is playing Remy!" Melinda says covering her mouth with her hands. She starts laughing so hard she falls out of her chair.
"Remy don't think it's funny."
"Call her in a few bloody hours. Either Mags plan will have blown up by then or she'll be on our team again."
"Melinda! Stop dat laughing! It's not funny!"
"Remy! It really is. You have tried so hard for this girl who just completely blows you off half the time and then she plays you." Melinda says between giggles.
-Elsewhere-
"You know Rogue, after this mission that Magneto has planned Mystique will take your spot on the Acolytes." Sarah taunts her.
"Kit will see right though her. Ah know it. Kit's not stupid ya know."
"She's not an Acolyte anymore. She's an X-Man. You know a few weeks ago Mystique posed as you. Really pissed Kitty off. She won't be on speaking terms with you and they won't be coming to look for you either."
"Ya don't know them. Ya don't know what they think."
"Oh I know. They all bought Mystique's act. She found Kitty and Remy together.... He was on top of her."
"Never! Kit isn't that kind of girl! She'd kill him first!"
"I don't know. Kitty never did have a fucking backbone and that Cajun is so irresistible. My question is why didn't it happen earlier. Mystique is going to let Xavier know about it. Kitty will be kicked out of the X-Men for good."
"Ya don't know a thing. Kit is smarter than ya. She knows that it wasn't meh. Ah bet she knows what ta say if Mystique brings up that story posed as meh."
"No, Kitty's a fucking fool. She has now taken two men from me."
"Who got a brain now?"
"You're fucking evil. She first stole Remy-"
"He was neva yours."
"Yes he was! Now she is fucking stealing Lance. And I have given him so much! How dare she! I'll kill her!"
"No ya won't! Ah won't let ya!"
"You can't fucking do anything! I'll get her! Guards! Teach her a lesson or two about messing with me, and then I'll go and personally teach Kitty a lesson.... Or more like five."
"Ya can't touch her. Kit's not stupid enough ta let ya. And if ya touched her what would Remy do? What about yer other guy?"
"Shut up! They will fucking thank me! Knock the fucking shit out of her!" Sarah tells the guards and then leaves.
-Later-
"What to fucking do about Kitty? She is a pain in my fucking ass." Sarah sits on her bed. "I got no fun out of watching them beat her. It did nothing for me. I need new fucking entertainment. Lance is no fun, this house is no fun. Maybe Pietro? No.... he listened to Kitty, that stupid prude. She takes everything too seriously. I'm going to have to fucking kick her ass. I'm going to go pay her a visit. There is no way she got to fucking go to whatever they are planning." Sarah gets up and leaves starting toward the institute.
-that night-
"So what did you like think of what was happening Kit? I know that you like totally used to work for Magneto." Kate asks.
"I didn't think that he would do that. It's just-"Her cell phone rings. "Hello."
"Hello chere." Remy says.
"Hey. What's wrong."
"Kit! That is like Sarah out there."
"I have to call you back, ok."
"But chere-"
"Don't give me that. I'm about to go kick Sarah's butt." Kitty hangs up her cell phone and phases outside to meet Sarah. "Barrett, what do you want?"
"Just to give you a message."
"Which is?"
"I'm going to kill you."
"How'd you get past security?"
"I have ways."
"What are you really here for. We already found out that you are no match for me." Kate ran outside followed by several X-Men. "Kate, I can handle this. You didn't need to get everyone in the mansion out here."
"I like didn't, they totally followed me."
"I can handle her. I've done this before, trust me."
"You can't handle me!" Sarah says flying into the air. Kitty uses her powers and runs up to her.
"Yes I can!"
"No you can't!" Kate says snapping a black bracelet onto Kitty's wrist. "Bye Bye!" Sarah says as Kitty starts to rapidly fall out of the sky.
"I can't stop!" Kitty screams. Right then Kurt bamps up and catches her and bamps to the ground. "Thanks. I can't use my powers. I'd have died." Kitty says looking up to where Sarah still was nearly 100 feet up above them.
"I'll save you anytime."
"Kurt!" Kitty says play slapping him. "Ouch, this thing is killing me. It hurts." Kitty jumps out of his arms.
"So you are fucking playing Remy!" Sarah says.
"Remy and I were never dating. We were never more than friends with benefits, if we were even that. You can't play someone you are not with."
"So you led him on."
"What is this thing that you put on me Sarah?" Kitty asks trying to pull off the bracelet. "How do I get it off?"
"Like I'd tell you. Actually I will. It takes a kind of metal that can cut through anything, but it may not always work. You'll get weaker and weaker until then Pryde. I'd say in a few hours you'll be bedridden." Sarah flies off.
"I feel dizzy. Did anyone understand her?"
"It was a riddle." Xavier says. "I believe that Logan may be able to cut through it with his claws."
"Are you sure that that is safe?"
"We must try." Xavier says.
"Ok, we need to hurry." Kitty says. "Wow, I'm tired. This thing is going to kill me."
"It like totally won't." Kate says. "You'll totally be ok."
"Just get this thing off of me. It's really getting heavy."
-later at the Acolytes-
"Yeah, Pietro heard them bloody talking about it a few days ago. It may not come off of her because of her power, poor Shelia."
"Sarah is going ta die!" Remy says "And Remy's gonna see ta it."
"No! don't!" Melinda says. "She may be the only way to get it off of her! Don't! Not even Sarah deserves that! Remy!" Melinda runs in front of him. "She just wants you! If she wants you I can manifest something that looks like you! Remy! Listen to me!"
"She's going to bloody kill her! Melinda you're not going to stop either of us. She's still our teammate. We have to protect her. We need her."
"No!" Melinda holds her arms out crying. "I won't let you kill my sister! She's the only family I have left!"
-Xavier's-
"This isn't good Chuck. I cut her trying to cut it. She won't cry out, she just lays there. Do you think that her old teammates will come?"
"It is possible. If they do we must allow them to see her. We don't not want to see what may happen if we do not."
"So you're sayin Sabertooth could show up here and I have to allow it?"
"I don't believe he will. But we don't know his team. We don't know if they even know. Knowing Kitty she got close to most if not all of them, it's just her personality. You saw how everyone here warmed up to her quickly, even you."
"You've got a point Chuck, everyone does seem to like her, other than Sarah."
"Hey Kate," Kitty says between pants. "Get me my cell phone."
"Ok." Kate returns a few minutes later. "Like who are you going to call?"
"We wouldn't want the Acolytes all in here ready for a fight would we?" Kitty says jokingly. "Even though I'm not one of them, I'm sure that we're all still friends, and they all hate Sarah to begin with."
"Ok." Kitty dials the number.
-Acolytes-
"Remy! Don't! I'll just go and give her what she wants. I can give her anything remember." Melinda says. "Please let me try to reason with her." Melinda pleads. "If you go now, you'll give Kitty away. They'll know that she's a fake."
"Remy knows what he's doing." Remy says.
"No, you don't. I don't care what I have to manifest. You are staying here!" Right then the phone rings and Piotr answers it.
"Hello.... Ok." Piotr laughs to himself. "She says that she wants to talk to the Swamp Rat. That she isn't going to let him be stupid."
Remy just raises an eyebrow at Piotr and takes the phone. "Remy's not stupid."
"That's just the Swamp Rat I wanted to hear from. If you come here you are going to leave missing something that you value, the same thing goes if you go near Sarah. Let Melinda go to her. Let Melinda manifest whatever Sarah wants and then she'll tell us how to take his thing off. Please-"
"Remy hears you."
"Thank you. Tell the others that only Melinda is to go talk to her. And she isn't allowed to harm her. I want a fair fight when I get out of this bed. I demand one."
"Doesn't mean Remy's going ta listen. Remy hears that Pietro knew all along."
"Then someone needs to do more than threaten Pietro. Remy, just be patient. You'll see what I do to Sarah. I seem to have the eye of her current interest. I may use that to my advantage since you know why she has done this to me. She mentioned you after she put this on me."
"What did she say?"
"She said that I led you on, that I played you."
"Chere, Remy doesn't think that, but what did you say mon chere?"
"I asked her how I could play you if we were only friends with benefits at the most."
"Not dat Remy hasn't tried ta be more."
"You're right. It is all me. Rem, right now I can't even leave this bed that's the effect this thing has. It's bad. Nothing can cut it. I don't know what they are going to do."
"If dey can't, we will, Remy promise ya dat."
"Thank you. Good Night Remy, and don't forget what I said." Kitty hangs up.
"What did you Shelia bloody say."
"We're not ta go after Sarah, only Melinda can. She said ta manifest whatever it took ta make her happy, but dat she'll have her revenge."
"Knowing the bloody Shelia she's planning it now."
"Yeah, probably, but I'm going to go deal with Sarah. Knowing my luck she'll want Remy. A believable Remy will be hard to manifest!" Melinda says as she walks out the front door.
"Remy doesn't want ta think about dat."
"I agree. That is bloody scary, but it's funny too."
-Xavier's-
"Who'd you call Half-Pint."
"The Acolytes. I heard you talking, I didn't want trouble. Even though I'm not one of them, they found out what happened and they were ready to kill Sarah. They found out from mouthy Maximoff."
"You seem to be in good spirits." Xavier comments.
"Yeah, I know why she did this. I know how to get my revenge. This isn't the first time that Sarah has nearly killed me, but I'm assuming that you both know about the fire."
"Yes, we heard from Kate."
"Well, she was behind that. I had her kicked out of the Acolytes. Right after my cousin's funeral I came back to find her there. I was furious. I yelled at Magneto, I yelled at all the guys, but after I told them they all wanted her gone. She thought that I did something to them. If this Lance guy truly is interested in me, this will be the third guy in under a year that she has lost to me that I haven't even dated. We have a history. This doesn't amaze me at all. I want this thing off and I don't care how it comes off."
"Look kid, I'm not about to chop your hand off to get this off."
"Sabertooth trained me with bracelets and chokers like this one. He always had to cut them off with those claws of his. But I doubt that this one will come off like that since it actually manipulates my power."
"Why did he train you with those?" Xavier asks.
"After the robbery six months ago when I found out that Kate could cancel my powers he started. He said that if I ever fought her that I wouldn't be able to use them, so I might as well get used to not having them. They are just more work then they are worth sometimes. Looks like I'm out for a while."
"Don't say that." Storm says entering the room. "Kate, you need to go to bed now. School tomorrow." Kate leaves the room. "They are a gift."
"I never said that I think that all the time. I guess that I'm out of the Danger Room for a while." Kitty says causing all of the adults to laugh. "But Professor, I would like to ask you for a favor?"
==========
Not one of my best chapters. I kind of like it. Anyone want to guess what Sarah will want? Ha! It may not be as obvious as you think, but if I can't get an idea it just may be. I really am running out of ideas! I can't think of anything! What will Kitty's favor be? What will the Acolytes do with one of their own possibly in a possibly deadly situation?

"The Acolytes. I heard you talking, I didn't want trouble. Even though I'm not one of them, they found out what happened and they were ready to kill Sarah. They found out from mouthy Maximoff."
"You seem to be in good spirits." Xavier comments.
"Yeah, I know why she did this. I know how to get my revenge. This isn't the first time that Sarah has nearly killed me, but I'm assuming that you both know about the fire."
"Yes, we heard from Kate."
"Well, she was behind that. I had her kicked out of the Acolytes. Right after my cousin's funeral I came back to find her there. I was furious. I yelled at Magneto, I yelled at all the guys, but after I told them they all wanted her gone. She thought that I did something to them. If this Lance guy truly is interested in me, this will be the third guy in under a year that she has lost to me that I haven't even dated. We have a history. This doesn't amaze me at all. I want this thing off and I don't care how it comes off."
"Look kid, I'm not about to chop your hand off to get this off."
"Sabertooth trained me with bracelets and chokers like this one. He always had to cut them off with those claws of his. But I doubt that this one will come off like that since it actually manipulates my power."
"Why did he train you with those?" Xavier asks.
"After the robbery six months ago when I found out that Kate could cancel my powers he started. He said that if I ever fought her that I wouldn't be able to use them, so I might as well get used to not having them. They are just more work then they are worth sometimes. Looks like I'm out for a while."
"Don't say that." Storm says entering the room. "Kate, you need to go to bed now. School tomorrow." Kate leaves the room. "They are a gift."
"I never said that I think that all the time. I guess that I'm out of the Danger Room for a while." Kitty says causing all of the adults to laugh. "But Professor, I would like to ask you for a favor?"
==========
Not one of my best chapters. I kind of like it. Anyone want to guess what Sarah will want? Ha! It may not be as obvious as you think, but if I can't get an idea it just may be. I really am running out of ideas! I can't think of anything! What will Kitty's favor be? What will the Acolytes do with one of their own possibly in a possibly deadly situation?
