Chapter 9
AN EXPECTED ARRIVAL
Harry's Bar
Wolverine growled as Jubilee sank the 8 ball yet again beating himfor the fourth straight time. "Igive up where did you learn to play like that?"
Jubilee smiled sweetly "Gumbo taught me in Madripoor last Summer".
"What the hell were you doing in a place like Madripoor" glared Logan
"Well Remy said he needed a partner for an assignment he was doing for one of his ex-girlfriends" answered Jubilee stiffly not at all happy with Logans overprotective attitude towards her.
Logan looked up warily "who was she?"
"An old friend of yours called Viper" smirked Jubilee
Logan threw down his cue in disgust "God aint there any phsyco babe that guy hasn't slept with"
Jubilee laughed grabbing her beer and heading back to the table where the other mutants were sitting.
Cain & Frenzy were busy trying to out Arm wrestle each other , while Alex Wraith & Bishop seemed to be talking about how the X-Terminators wuld stack up to the X-Men in a fight.
"Where did Sage go" asked Logan looking around.
Bishop nodded his head towards the Restrooms "She said the testosterone level was making her ill"
Logan laughed "what were you guys doing to make her say that"
Bishop grinned hiking a thumb towards Cain & Frenzy at a nearby table "wasn't us it was those two"
Logan scratched his head looking at the two combatants"Are they still at it?what in Sam hell could they be arguing about now"
Cain grinned"give it up babe nobody stops the Juggernaught"
Frenzy grunts sweat pouring down her face as she refuses to lose.She leans slowly forward giving cain a good look down her shirt while licking her lips "are you sure about nothing?"
Cain sits there stunned not realising until he feels his hand slammed into the table that he'd lost.
Grinning Frenzy blows him a kiss"No hard feelings sweetcheeks".
Cain grabs her kissing her hard on the lips"nope none at all"
Cain walks back towards the main table followed by a slightly bemused , but grinning Frenzy.
Logan grins as they approach"so who won?"
Cain & Frenzy exchanged a look before both saying "I DID"
Sage returns to a sight of all the mutants laughing while being glared at by Cain and Frenzy.
sliding in beside Bishop Sage looks around "I am not even going to ask"
Wraith grinned at her"prob for the best Tess"
Sage gave him a withering look at the familiarity with her name "so why is there all this secrecy regarding the upcoming mission"
Wraith shrugged "I'm as much in the dark as the rest of you".
Logan watched Alex & Jubilee exchange an uneasy glance "what do you know that we don't" he asked.
Alex put a hand on Jubilee's shoulder to prevent her answering Logan"It will all be made clear once a couple of old friends turn up.until then our orders are not to say anything"
Logan also noticed Frenzy & Link look uneasy.
Cain sat there staring into his empty mu "so does anyone have any idea what will happen after the mission?"
Alex & the X-Terminators exchanged a weird smile kind of Predatory.
Jubilee sighed sadly "well everyone thinks there will be a fight when we try to leave."
Logan shrugged "I don't see why if Chuck supports you"
Alex leans back in his chair "because by that time Remy doesn't think he will support us anymore"
Link silent until then speaks up "if Remy thinks there will be trouble, you can basically count on it."
Logan grunts" well as long as Jubilee is with you guys I won't cross you".
Cain looks over at Frenzy"you can count me out to"
Bishop & Sage share a look before nodding their agreement.
"You shouldn't make offers like that mon amies without realising what you are getting into" said Remy from behind them having overheard the end of the conversation as he walked in.
His team grinned at him while he sat down beside Jubilee.
Alex looked at his friend seeming like the only one to notice anything wrong"What's up Rem"
Remy just shook his head as if it was nothing.
"I take it the meeting didn't go too well" asked Wraith
Remy sighed "Scott will cause us problems I think. We may have to take steps"
Alex just nodded surprising Logan with how easily he accepted the suggestion.
Logan grinned "your not serious Cajun".
Remy gave him a look that he had never seen it was a look he saw every time in the mirror the look of a man who would do whatever it takes to do what needs to be done.
Remy looked away from Logan "I will do whatever I have to".
Whatever Logan was about to say was cut off by the beping of his X-Men communicator "All X-Men return to the mansion code omega"
Without a word everyone headed back to the van while Remy went towards his bike.
When they all reached the mansion they piled out of the van stunned at the scene before them.
Sabretooth was holding Scott up by his throat in mid air while the X-Men were trying to push past Drayven Tsunami & Flashback who seemed to be protecting Sabretooth.
