Kidnapped, Yeah THAT'S Original

"Oh pointing a gun at us, yeah that's scary," Rogue sniffed. "Obviously you have no clue who we are or else you wouldn't do such a stupid thing!"

"Oh I know more about you than I think you do," Belladonna grinned. "IMMOBILUIUS XANRANAX!" Her other hand glowed as she intoned the magic words.

Suddenly all the mutants in the place were surrounded by a personal forcefields. (All the humans in the place had headed for the hills as soon as Belladonna took out the gun.) "I…I can't move…" Wanda gasped.

"Yes it's a rather handy little spell," Belladonna grinned. "Shame I couldn't freeze your mouths as well."

"Your magic's improved," Remy grunted.

"Fire hot rage is a great motivator for studying," Belladonna told him. "That and the desire for revenge. Let's just say you're lucky I decided not to use my mutant abilities on you…for now."

"Mutant abilities?" Pietro asked. "She's a mutant?"

"And a magic wielder?" Althea asked.

"Yes on both counts," Remy sighed.

"What a wonderful combination," Lance said sarcastically. "And you had to tick her off didn't you?"

"You have no idea," Belladonna growled. "How could you leave me like that Remy? So what if you blew up Juilen into a million pieces? Big whoop! That's no reason to leave me!"

"Most girls would be a bit upset if I killed their only brother," Remy said.

"Well I'm not like most girls," Belladonna sniffed. "What really ticked me off is that you left me at the altar!"

"He what?" Rogue glared at Remy. "What the hell is she talking about?"

"Yeah inquiring minds wanna know!" Pietro shouted.

"Your entire family was trying to kill me!" Remy shouted. "I think it was safe to say the wedding was off!"

"WEDDING?" Rogue screamed. "WHAT WEDDING?"

"Our wedding dear," Belladonna took out a strange looking bomb. "AND YOUR FUNERAL!" She threw it at them.

"Look out!" Rogue screamed. The next thing everyone knew there was smoke and darkness everywhere.

Pietro was the first to recover. "What happened?" He sat up. He saw there were ambulances and police all over the place.

"We were hoping you'd tell us," Roadblock grunted. Logan and Shipwreck were there as well.

The other mutants started to recover. "What hit us?" Kitty moaned. "Hey we can move again?"

"Oh goody…" Todd groaned. "Now we can move."

"So what happened?" Shipwreck asked. "The cops say you got into an argument with some nut with a gun."

"Yeah but it wasn't our idea," Wanda grunted. "She's an old girlfriend of Remy's. What did she hit us with?"

"Knock out gas…" Logan grunted. "Cute…"

"What are you doing here?" Tabitha coughed.

"We came to track all of you down," Logan told her. "And to try and keep you from causing any trouble. Obviously we were a little late."

"Where's Rogue?" Remy looked around.

"We didn't see her," Logan frowned. "We thought she might have taken off before."

"No she was with us," Remy said.

"She's gone now," Althea told her. "Belladonna must have taken her."

"Gee I wonder why?" Kurt glared at Remy.

"It's not Remy's fault!" Remy shouted. "I didn't tell her to take her!"

"Why is it always Rogue that gets kidnapped?" Kitty stomped her foot.

"You wanna take her place be my guest," Wanda told her.

"What I really want to know is exactly who is that woman!" Kurt glared at Remy. "What does she want with Rogue and what was all that about you leaving her at the altar?"

"We were sort of…engaged to be married," Remy fidgeted. "Almost were. Maybe I should tell you the whole story."

"That might be a good idea," Logan folded his arms. "Who exactly are we talking about here?"

"Yeah who is this magic wielding mutant that's got your number?" Todd asked.

"She's a mutant? And she can use magic?" Logan's jaw dropped. "Not exactly a good combination for people you want to tick off!"

"Tell me about it," Remy groaned. "Her name is Belladonna Bordeaux. You know Remy was part of the Thieves Guild right?"

"Yeah," Logan nodded. "Let me guess, a member of the club?"

"No a more like a member of a rival club," Remy told them. "The Assassins Guild."

"The Assassins Guild?" Roadblock asked. "The Assassins Guild?"

"You've heard of them?" Logan asked.

"Oh yeah," Shipwreck nodded. "It's said the Jugglers have their number on speed dial."

"Half their business is with members of the US Government," Roadblock nodded. "And the other half is their enemies."

"You're kidding me," Kitty's jaw dropped.

"I wish," Shipwreck grunted. "They're one of the top three most feared assassin for hire groups in the world."

"Top three?" Tabitha blinked. "That doesn't sound so bad."

"You don't know the other two on the list," Shipwreck pointed out. "The only reason is that number two is into demonic possession and number one is semi retired. But still extremely deadly. So deadly nobody wants to hire the guy. Too afraid of him and his clan."

"Guy? You saying there's one man that's the most feared assassin on the planet?" Remy remarked.

"Yeah but he doesn't exactly go around killing people anymore," Althea grinned. "But that's not important right now. Let's get back to this Belladonna nut."

"Are you saying she's part of the infamous Assassin's Guild?" Logan asked.

"No…" Remy took a deep breath. "She's now the head of the Assassin's Guild. And Remy used to be her fiancée."

"What?" Kurt's eyes widened.

"Boy Rogue sure is unlucky when it comes to people isn't she?" Pietro whistled.

"Yeah and I thought her relatives were bad enough," Tabitha remarked.

Oh no, Rogue's been kidnapped! Again. This is starting to become some kind of running joke. But Rogue's not laughing when she wakes up! But you will! Read and review!
