"Everyone move out the way," said Logon as he entered the danger room, leaning over her he checked for a pulse "Good she's still breathing" he said

"Some one get Hank" he said

"Ok" said Rahne as she ran out the room

"She tried to save mah, she didn't know that I'm invincible" said Rogue looking at Logon

"Its she gonna be ok" asked Kitty leaning over him to look at Hope

"I don't know kid"

"How'd the Shelia know that thing had repaired itself anyway?" asked Pyro

"Good question Mon ami, but Gambit t'ink a better question is how the t'ing repaired itself, non"

"That is a good question, one in which I will find the answer to" said Logon sternly

"Hey" whispered Hope as she stirred beside Logon

"Don't get up kiddo, your hurt pretty bad"

"I'm fine, I've had more scraps than this before" she responded as she tried to sit up "Oh that thing sure did a number on me huh," she said as she looked at the cut

"Please Hope stay still, Hank will be down in a minute" said Kitty

"Look I'm fine... seriously, I heal pretty fast"

"How come" asked Jamie

"I don't really know, but I guess it has something to do with my powers being the four element".

"Ah yes, the four element supposing what the universe is made of, fire, water, wind and earth. A theory that both Galen and Hippocrates supported" said Beast as he made his way over to Hope. "Now I hear you took quite a hit from a tentacle, for our dear friend Rogue, who for future reference is near indestructible"

"Really, well ain't I just the fool" said Hope laughing, "Next time I'll remember that"

"It is quite alright, now let me examine the wound," he said as he looked at her side

"Fascinating"

"What's fascinating chuck?" asked Logan

"Well, the wound is near healed, obviously not a good as your would have but the skin has resealed itself, really remarkable"

"It healed? Good" said Hope jumping up "Some can I go now, I hate the attention"

"Well I'd like to do some tests..."

"Please, I'd really like some air," said Hope pouting

"I see no reason why," said Logon slowly

"Thanks uncle L," said Hope smiling as she walked out the room

"That girl is remarkable"

"Veah" said Kurt


"You ok Rogue" asked Gambit as he walked into her room the next morning "You were pretty quiet at dinner last night"

"Am always quite swamprat" she said

"Vrai"

"What can ah do for you then?" asked Rogue sensing that he wanted to ask her something

"Nothin"

"Swamprat don't make me beat it out of you"

"Ok, Gambit was just wondering why you never thanked the belle yesterday"

"No time to" said Rogue quickly as she stood up from her bed

"You make the time today though, qui"

"Qui, now get out ma room so ah can change" said Rogue

"But Gambit like what the chere is wearing now" he said looking at her PJ's

"Get out swamprat, before I knock ya through that wall"

"Ok I'm going," he said


Hope climbed out of her window and then flew towards the ground; quietly she crept towards the garage and made her way over to one of the motorbikes.

"What do you t'hink your doing?" said Gambit stepping in front of Hope's bike

"I'm going for a ride" she responded

"But curfew is in a hour"

"Yeah"

"So the chere likes to play dangerously, huh"

Ignoring his comment Hope said "I know you want to come, so grab a bike and lets go before Logan catches us"

"D'accord" he said as he hopped on the bike nearest to her "let's go"

"What's that sound?" asked Kitty as she moved towards the window

"Oh my God, that Hope and Gambit on motorbikes, leaving the mansion one hour before curfew"

"No way, Gambit ain't stupid enough to do that"

"Really, well it looks like Hope found a way to persuade him" joked Kitty raising her eyebrows "It looks like you might be getting some competition"

"What for that swamprat? I don't think so, Hope can have him"

"So you wouldn't mind if Hope and Gambit got it together"

"Nope, now how many times do I have to remind ya, were just friends"

"Until it's true" she responded


"Where we going?" asked Gambit

"To a club"

"Gambit don't do club's, and beside where you know that except mutants"

"Everywhere, where they're to dumb not to spot one"

"Well I afraid Gambit's eyes gonna give it away"

"Please that's no problem at all, just follow my lead," said Hope as she walked towards a building called The Block

"Hang on can't you read" said a tall muscular man pointing to the No mutants allowed sign

"We can read just fine," said Hope

"Well then get going"

"Why? We aren't mutant"

"Oh please both of your eyes are blood red"

"Ever heard of contacts" responded Hope as she moved her hand towards her eyes, when she removed it her eyes were normal

"Fine" said the man "But you shouldn't wear things like that it will get you into trouble"

"Ok" she said as she slid past the guy

"That was quite a show chere" said Gambit as he followed her to a table in the far corner

"Yeah well" she said as she changed her eyes back to fiery red

"Why do you do that?" he asked as he took a seat

"Do what" she asked

"Make your eyes look like Gambit, when you could be normal"

"Normal? Please who want to be normal? Sure for a while I hated my powers... still do actually, but I'm proud of being a mutant. Why would I want to hide the true me, Look at all these so-called normal people all they do is hate, they have nothing better to do than persecute another race because, what they have nothing better to do with there lives. At least we mutant ain't like that" she said quickly with a hit of angry in her voice

"That is very deep ma chere. Do you know je vous trouve très intéressant" he replied thinking she didn't know what he meant

"Why thank you, I find you interesting to" she counted

"You speak French," he asked

"Qui, I've travelled a lot of places picking up a few languages here and there. Besides you didn't think you and Rogue were the only ones that spoke French did you"

"I must admit Gambit thought that"

"Don't worry about it, I'm going to spook Kurt when I start speaking to him in German to"

"You do know Rogue and Kurt are famillie"

"Yeah" there was a small pause

"About Rogue..."

"Nothing to say Gambit, it's fine she'll say thanks in her own time"

"It's Remy, and Rogue really is a good fillie"

"Well Remy hopefully I'll find out soon"


"Merde (shit) , we are late"

"Logon gonna kill us"

"The Kitchen light is on, something is going on"

"Good then lets sneak in" she said as she pulled Gambit into the mansion

"Freeze" said Logan, as they were half way up the stair

"Hey uncle L" said Hope smiling

"Don't try it kid, now get in the kitchen," he said "You to Cajun"

As they entered the kitchen the sound of an argument could be heard

"No way professor, not after she tried to kill us" said a brown haired kid with red shade

"Yeah, she tried to kill us," said Ray

"That was wrong yes, but we must give her a chance"

"Yeah, well what happens if she goes crazy again and tries to kill us," continue Scott

"She won't if you don't give her any reason to"

"Like we gave her last time," he shouted

"What's going on?" asked Hope to Logan

"Some new recruits X23 and Warren"

"They have not mentioned nothin' of this Warren guy, just this X23 why?"

"Because I tried to kill em" said a small girl with long brown hair.
