Friday (6 days later)
"Has white queen come to report any battles yet?" Nathan Essex asked Vertigo who had walked into his office seconds before.
"No sir…it seems like the MoE hasn't attacked the X-men or magneto's team for a couple of days."
"Well what the hell is wrong?"
"We aren't sure Mr. Sinister but Deathstrike has informed us that their covers have been blown…maybe they keeping a low profile and staying away from them for that reason."
"Something's not right," Sinister mumbled. "Get all the Nasty boys here," he commanded and watched Vertigo walk out the room. Minutes later all the members were in the office along with Vertigo.
"I need four of you to follow the MoE girls…something's not right and I want to know what. I want those of you that'll go to report back to me later tonight. They all nodded and waited for him to assign whom they'd be following.
"Vertigo you'll follow Rogue, Gorgeous George…Scarlet Witch, Ruckus…Psylocke, and Ramrod…X-23." They nodded and walked out the leaving the other two members of their team with sinister.
"As for you two… " She turned and looked at Slab and Hairbag, "Go make sure our guest are doing OK." Slab and Hairbag walked out of the office leaving sinister alone with his thoughts.
'Why do I get the feeling that something is going to go terribly wrong?' he asked himself.
======= JONDA =======
John yawned as the teenagers walked out of the chemistry lab at Bayville high and new ones came stumbling in. He had volunteered to help Mr. McCoy as an assistant at school…of course he was only doing it for one reason…Scarlet witch. After they had arrived at the x-mansion on Saturday and told everyone everything that had happened, Beast mentioned he had 'Wendy' in one of his Chemistry classes. So there he was wanting to see her…the bad thing was that he had been there since Monday and she hadn't gone at all. The bell that indicated class had started rang and he looked around the room…no Wanda. Mr. McCoy started his lectures on which elements were metals in the periodic table when the door to the classroom opened.
"Sorry I'm…late," Wanda, said walking in and coming face to face with John.
/When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see/
"That's quite alright Ms. Frost (They all use Emma's last name in school except for Betts…sry I forgot to mention that earlier). She nodded and walked to her seat. The class period went by fast and for that Wanda was thankful. She wanted to get out of that room as soon as possible. John started at her most of the period and she knew he wanted to talk…but she didn't. Soon the bell rang and Wanda quickly gathered her things to leave, as she was about to walk to the door Mr. McCoy called to her.
"I'd like to see you for a moment Ms…Maximoff." (I had him use that last name on purpose) Wanda looked up at him, he was standing behind his desk and John was next to him. She watched as all the others left the room and she found herself alone with them. She started walking towards them.
/When I pretend to forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can/
Beast noticed that she looked like she was getting ready to attacked so he spoke, "Don't worry this isn't X-men related…I just wanted to give you all the homework you've missed this week," he said and smiled getting a confused look from her. John just looking at her and she avoided eye contact with him. As Mr. McCoy was going to go ahead and tell her what she missed the intercom speaker came on.
"Can all teachers please report to the faculty lounge for a brief meeting."
Mr. McCoy looked up at the speaker, "I'm afraid I'll have to leave, but my assistant Mr. Allerdyce can give you what you need." he said and started walking way.
"That's evil Beast," she snarled talking about the fact he was leaving her alone with Pyro.
"There is nothing I can do…and I believe evil is YOUR specialty," he answered with a smile and walked out the door leaving both young mutants alone.
"Can you just give me the work?" Wanda asked John without looking at him.
"No, I think we have to talk shelia."
"You know what forget the fucken work…I'm leaving," she said and got her stuff and headed for the door.
"Wanda…" he called out to her making her stop. She didn't stop because he had called out to her but because of what he had called out…he had never called her Wanda before.
She stood still were she had stopped and the bag in her hand dropped to the floor. This was what she had been avoiding for a whole week and now it was happening…and she didn't know what the outcome would be. John walked behind her grabbed her by the shoulders turning her to face him. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. He hands which here on her shoulders slowly traveled down her arm to her writs. He easily took her watch off and she was herself. Not Scarlet Witch…not 'Wendy'…she was Wanda. (Meaning she wearing ordinary clothes with her ordinary hair…just in case some of you didn't get it…lol)
She looked at him curiously not knowing what to expect from the red-haired fire obsessed Australian. John did what he had planned…to have her in his arms…but now that she was there he didn't know what to do or what to say…so he said the first thing that popped up.
"Where you've been this week?"
"What does that matter?" she asked coldly with her eyes narrowed.
"I've…I've missed you," he said stuttering, her eyes softened.
"You've missed a lie," she answered as he ran a hand through some of her hair and slowly dragged a finger down to her cheek and then to her chin lifting it up.
"No…I've missed you," he answered, as his lips were mere inches away from hers.
/But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay/
"We can't do…" she was cut off by his lips; she was fighting to not enjoy it or respond but failed. When they broke apart Wanda spoke.
"That's the last time you'll feel my lips."
"Why?" he asked angrily.
"Because…you have to get the fact that I'M your enemy engraved in your brain…we can't do this…it's like betraying out team."
"You're forgetting that we've already betrayed our team…that night at the museum. It's now that you know my true identity that you running away…why?"
"You don't have to know why…can't you just be satisfied that you've had fun and leave at that. Why do you care…It's not like you love me or anything."
/I'm just trying to bend the truth/
He stayed quiet and she stared up at him waiting for him to say something, they both heard the door opened behind them. When they looked they found that it was Mr. McCoy, but he wasn't alone. Amara and Jubilee walked in behind him. Amara first looked at Wanda with shock and them she quickly transformed herself to fire noticing that her enemy was in front of her boyfriend. Wanda turned away from her and looked at her feet before looking back at John who had released her but still had her watch in his hands. She quickly hexed the watch to her hands and faced Pyro with cold sapphire eyes. He still hadn't said anything…
"I'll get you my pretty…" Scarlet Witch snarled up at him and then backed away from him, she turned around and walked towards the three X-men who were by the door. As she was about to pass magma she turned to look at her.
"…And your little bitch too," she added and continued walking towards the closed door. Meanwhile Jubilee was holding Amara back as she seemed to want to go after the fiery witch.
Wanda stopped a couple of feet from the doors and addressed Beast without looking at him, "Mr. McCoy…I don't need the homework…I came today to tell you this will be the last time you'll see me in class." When she finished she continued to head towards the door…then she heard John's voice.
"I do…"
She stopped in her tracks, slowly her hand came up in front of her, and her fist was clenched and pointing at the door. It started to glow blue and the door suddenly blew off the hinges and fell outside many feet away. She kept walking…
/I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be/
"And that doesn't help us at all," she said and walked out the door leaving three confused X-men wondering what John had meant.
John watched her slowly disappear he wanted to ran after her but something was stopping him…but if he had gone after her and looked into her eyes…he would have seen the same emotion that was in his…sadness.
/So I'm lying my way from you/
"John…" Amara started.
"Shut up Amara…I don't wanna fucken explain myself," he said and walked into another room that was Mr. McCoys office. He walked in…never knowing that someone had seen everything that had happened between him and Scarlet Witch.
======= ANLOCKE =======
Warren watched his students leave and then found himself all alone in his big classroom; he sighed and sat down in front of his desk burring his head in his hands. The one thing on his mind…that one thing that had been in his mind all week was…Elisabeth Braddock. He still couldn't believe it…Elisabeth was Psylocke.
/No, no turning back now
I want to be pushed aside/
'Someone must really hate me' he thought to himself. He was busy feeling sad about the whole situation he didn't notice someone was staring at him from the opening of the classroom…until he heard the heels walking down the stairs. He looked up startled and found the person he had been thinking about walking down. She was wearing a short purple skirt and a matching tank top, her hair was also purple.
/So let me go
No, no turning back now/
"I don't think the man upstairs hates you mate…after all…aren't you an angel?" she spoke first. He got up from his seat and took a couple of paces towards her and stopped as she walked up in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked emotionless not knowing whether to act as an X-men should and be a little colder to his enemy, or act like the man he was and showed he cared for the purple haired vixen.
"What's wrong Warren? Your not happy to see me luv?" she asked walking closer and having her toes touch his. He didn't answer.
/Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone/
She sighed, "I came to see you…obviously." He still didn't respond even as he put her hand on his cheek so she kept talking.
"As Elisabeth a woman…I'm here to tell I care about you Warren…I really do," she said softly her voice seemed to crack and she gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. She cleared her throat and continued, "As Elisabeth Braddock your student…I'm here to tell you I'm dropping the class," as she said this she backed away from him and looked down at the floor. She took a foot back, "As Psylocke," she stared and looked up at him with mischievous eyes, "I'm here to tell you that if you get in my way during battle I won't hesitate to bring you down…no matter what I feel for you," she finished coldly.
/No turning back now
Anywhere on my own/
"Did you really come all the way down here just to say that?" he asked coldly letting the X-men in him out.
"No…" she answered her eyes softening, "Like I said before…I wanted to see you," before he could answer they both heard the door to the class room shut and they turned to see who had entered. Only to find themselves alone in the room…someone hadn't entered…they had left.
Betts turned to look at him again, her cold eyes returning. "The doors to Sinister's Hell are opening…when you along with the other X-men go to try and stop us…I'll be there to welcome you…Angel." She turned away from him and stated to walk back up the stairs.
/'Cause I can see
No, no turning back now/
Warren watched her and thought, 'What about us?'
Betsy turned to look down at him when she reached the top.
"We were a dream Warren…and it's time for one of us to wake up," after she said that she walked out the door.
/The very worst part of you
Is me/
======= X-IETRO =======
"Hey Pie, how bout we go on a date tonight…it's been a while since we've done something Romantic," Crystal asked her boyfriend during lunch as she sat on his lap. He didn't answer he just looked out at in space…lost in his own thoughts.
"Pietro…are you listening?" Crystal asked getting annoyed.
"Yea" Pietro answered and looked at her.
"Is something wrong?" she asked worriedly.
'Yea…I'm here having lunch with you…when I would usually be off eating in Lance's jeep with…' he stopped himself from saying her name.
"No" he answered his girlfriend out loud. Crystal smiled.
"So how bout it then?"
"Sure" he answered not knowing what he had agreed to since he hadn't been listening. He looked and smiled at her smile. He then felt eyes on him so he quickly looked around and found where the stare was coming from…and who it was from. From across him in a far distance he found a girl…with bluish black hair…staring right at him with blue eyes.
"YAY" he turned away from the girl to look at Crystal.
"It' s gonna be lots of fun…anyway I'll be back in a couple of minutes kay baby? I have to go to the little girls room," she said getting off his lap.
"Alright" he answered and watched her go.
/I remember what they taught to me/
Lexa watched Crystal get up and leave Pietro, she closed her eyes…knowing that when they'd open he would be in front of her. She didn't know because she could pick up his scent even though she could…she knew because she knew him, and she was right. As her eyes open the met sapphire eyes looking down at her…they were in a state between anger and confusion.
"Hello Quicksilver."
/Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be/
"X-23" he answered curtly. "What are you doing here…like that?" he asked looking at her noticing she didn't look like she was going to class since her hair and eyes were blue.
"Well it seems you didn't miss me much this week…did you?"
"Why should I miss someone who did noting but lie to me since we've met?"
"Why are you answering a question with a question? And what do you mean I've lied to you since we've met?"
/Remember listening to all of that and this again/
"You should know since you're the liar. How come you played along this whole time? You've made this whole thing difficult," he yelled at her.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Lexa asked confused and then it dawned on her.
He thought she knew who he was from the beginning…that she had been playing a game. "You're so fucken dumb if you think I knew you were quicksilver," she lashed out at him.
"How could you have not known? You've easily picked up my scent in every battle we've been in…what makes meeting me at school any different?" he asked getting in her face.
Lexa didn't answer…she didn't know what to answer. She didn't know why her scents senses had seem to stop working while she was with Pietro…she hadn't even noticed that they stopped working around him until she found out he was quicksilver, but now that she knew she could easily pick up the scent…and they were the same. He's face being that close to hers didn't really help what she was feeling, he smelled like he usually did but it was also mixed with cologne and some sweat since he had just finished P.E. Lexa was being enticed by it and her eyes closed just letting it all in. She opened to find Pietro looking strangely at her.
/So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and/
"You know what…just forget it," she whispered. She then started to back away. "I really just came to try and clear this up and tell you that I'm leaving school so don't bother waiting for me at lunch…even though you probably weren't anyway," saying that she turned her back on him and started walking way.
"So that's it? Your just gonna leave this like this?" he yelled at her making her stop. She quickly turned around and glared at him.
"What the FUCK is THIS?" she asked getting back in his face again. "I'm you friend by day and your enemy by night…we can't do that anymore knowing the truth," she snapped.
/Trying to bend the truth/
"Well all THIS wouldn't have happened if YOU had kept you distance…especially if you knew that I was Quicksilver," he snapped back.
"Fuck you Pietro…I already told you I didn't know…if I had know I wouldn't have come anywhere near you…especially if I had known we'd get this close and that I'd actually fall…" she stopped herself from finishing the sentence. Pietro looked at her, his eyes widened at the thought about what she was going to say.
"Especially if you knew you were gonna fall what? Finish the damn sentence," he commanded quietly.
/The more I push the more I'm pulling away/
"I think you should leave," she whispered not finishing what she had started; he looked confused and looked over to where she gave a small nod. Crystal was back from the bathroom and from the looks of it she was looking for her boyfriend.
"You don't wanna keep her waiting…right?" he looked at his girlfriend and then turned to look at Lexa who was staring solemnly at the floor. He started to walk away and felt a hand on his wrist, he turned back to see what it was she wanted but came in contact with her lips. He responded without thinking…all he wanted at the moment was to taste her lips…which he had thought about ever since she had kissed him in the park. She broke the kiss and looked up at him to see that his eyes were close and his face seemed peaceful…he slowly opened his eyes. She knew the look in his eyes…it was a look she and the others got a lot from other guys…it was longing.
"Sorry…I just had to figure something out…and that was the only thing that would have given me an answer," she said and backed away from him.
/'Cause I'm
Lying my way from you/
"I'll see you on the battlefield…Quicksilver," saying that she turned away from him. She walked away and eyes looking down at the floor and when she looked up she saw something she wasn't expecting. Wanda was leaning on a wall straight ahead of her looking smug. Lexa rolled her eyes.
"How long have you been here?" she asked.
"Not long…actually I just caught the last part," her smirk faded and she looked at her twin brother who was staring at them. "Come on…we have better things to do," she said after and walked towards the parking lot having X-23 follow close behind.
"Are you planning to speak to Lady D yet?" Wanda asked.
"Deathstrike can kiss my ass for all I care."
"I'll take that as a NO."
"Good observation," Lexa answered bitterly. Wanda gave her a side glance and kept walking.
Pietro watched his sister and Lexa leave he gave a frustrated sigh and walked back to his girlfriend, if he had stayed he would have seen the trees that were huddled together near by break apart.
Ramrod watched the Scarlet witch and X-23 get in a blue convertible, and then he looked towards the young man he recognized as quicksilver and gave a sight frown.
'Sinister is not going to like what I've seen' he thought to himself and walked through the portal that had appeared behind him.
======= MoE =======
Remy slowly walked up to the steps of the big looking mansion. He didn't know what had made him decide to come and look for her…maybe the fact that she hadn't picked up any of his calls on their private phones, she hadn't gone to see him, and the MoE had strangely enough stayed out of trouble for that entire week. He was worried that maybe something had happened to her…even thought maybe it would be better off to forget her.
He looked at the door in front of him deciding whether he should really be doing this, unconsciously he pressed the doorbell. The door opened to show a blonde lady with her hair up in a ponytail she looked at him weirdly.
"Can I help you?" she asked not recognizing him. Remy moved his hand to his image inducer and flicked it making his unusual eyes appear. The white queens eyes widened.
'Shit…how do they know where we live?' she asked herself and called telepathically to the people in the house to get their butts downstairs immediately.
"Emma what's wrong? Yuriko asked walking into the room and finding Gambit in front of their doorstep. Her nails slowly came out and her head tilted to the side curiously looking at him.
Emma looked behind him and noticed he was alone…how weird didn't he know coming alone was a suicide mission. Her thoughts were interrupted by the only Goth in the house.
"What the hell is going on? Rogue asked and noticed Gambit in front of the open door; she stopped walking and looked at him.
"Looks like we have company," Deathstrike answered and looked at him dangerously.
Before either adult could attack Rogue walked in front of him getting in the others way.
"It's okay…I'll handle this," she said and got a confused look from the adults in return. Rogue turned to look at them, "He's here to see me." With that she flicked his image inducer making brown eye appear and she grabbed her own watch which was on a table near the door. White Queen and Deathstrike looked at her still confused, Rogue looked at them expecting them to leave and give her some privacy but since they didn't even move she pushed gambit out of the doorway and closed the door behind her walking outside.
"I think there's something she's not telling us," Deathstrike mumbled looking at the closed door.
" I think your right," Emma responded and started to walk out of the room feeling another presence in the mansion.
======= ROMY =======
/No, no turning back now/
"What in the hell are you thinking coming here knowing who we are and also showing up with your image inducer off. If I weren't home you would have probably ended up dead you know?" Rogue scolded Gambit who was walking closely behind. "What are you doing here anyway?" she asked as she reached the streets sidewalk.
"I came to see why you 'aven't picked up my calls cheri," he responded as he stopped next to her. She slowly took something out from her pocket and handed it to him. Remy looked down at the item in his hand…it was a hunter green cell phone…and it looked like it had been smashed in half.
/I want to be pushed aside
So let me go/
"Does that answer your question?"
"Oui" they both just stood still for a couple of seconds in awkward silence. They had never had trouble talking…as Remy and 'Anna' or as Gambit and Rogue…so why was it so hard now as?
She started walking down the sidewalk trying to figure out what to say, he was also thinking about what he should say as he walked next to her. Finally she said what she was thinking.
"This sucks."
"What?" he asked as she looked at him like he was stupid.
"THIS! We thought we were in a fairy tale love only to find out it was all a lie."
/No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life/
"Cruel irony...mais it wasn't all a lie…was it?" he asked looking at her face.
"Non," she answered and looked up at him lovingly.
"You know what else sucks?" she asked turning away from him.
"Quoi?"
"I somehow knew…that's why that day at the pyramid I didn't absorb your memories…I was in denial," she said shaking side to side slightly. They stopped at the cross light and crossed the street, walking down back towards the house but on the opposite side of it.
"I should have known too…like it wasn't obvious from the fact that I thought you were Rogue that first time we made love."
"You're lucky we're the same person…or else I would have had to kick you ass for thinking about someone else while screwing me," she answered with a small smile.
He went silent and thought about something for a while then he spoke.
/I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now/
"Why are we taking this so calmly?"
"I don't know…I guess it's as if we knew down in our hearts something like this would happen."
"So what now?" he asked as he stopped in front of his motorcycle, which was parked across the street from the mansion. She stopped and looked at him.
"Remy do you believe that everything in life is already planned…or do you think that we make our own destiny's?"
"Remy makes his own destiny…that's why he's come this far," he answered, Rogue rolled her eyes at the third person thing even though she had gotten used it.
"Then what happens next is up to you…" she flicked his image inducer making his beautiful red on black eyes appear. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed the button on her watch making her emerald eyes along with her brown hair with two white stripes appear. As their lips got closer a car stopped in front of them. Rogue turned to find Lex and Wanda both staring at her. They looked for about a second and then Wanda opened the garage door to park the car in.
/Anywhere on my own
'Cause I can see/
Rogue looked at them and then turned to look at him making up here mind to what she was going to do. "Ah believe everything in life happens for a reason…and yah know why this happened?
"Non…porquoi?"
"So that yah can get on yah bike right now and go to the X-mansion…and next time we meet your going to play hero and try to kick mah ass." She pulled him into a big passionate kiss and then pulled away pushing the button to show her fake image.
"Our fairytale love doesn't have a happy ending Remy…" was the last thing she said, she then backed away from him and started crossing the street towards her house. Since she wasn't looking she failed to see the car going straight towards her, it stopped inches from her.
"Rogue you stupid git…you're so lucky I didn't hit you…do you have any idea how much it would cost me to have this jeep repaired!" Elisabeth Braddock shouted from the drivers' seat of her purple jeep. Rogue looked at her and smirked then kept walking. Psylocke gave a frustrated yell and then spotted Gambit.
"Oh hey Gambit" she said and looked at him…he looked like he had seen a ghost. Betts started strangely at him but figured out he had gotten a minor heart attack thinking Rogue was going to get run over. She shrugged and opened the garage door to park her jeep, when she did the garage door closed.
/No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you/
Remy snapped himself out of the trance he was in and looked to Rogue who was barley reaching the door. She opened the door and looked at him, she had her fake look on. Then she turned into herself by taking the watch off…he stared at her and she stared back…then suddenly she slammed the door shut.
Gambit started at the shut door.
"Remy makes his own destiny cheri…and I'm not planning to give up on you jus yet," he whispered and then got on his jeep and headed for the X-men Mansion.
Four people watched him go, Scarlet Witch and X-23 from a window upstairs. Rogue from a window downstairs was peeking out; as soon as he was gone she gave a small sigh and turned her back on the window. Her head lightly hit the window as she leaned on it. The last person that was watching was on the roof and was smirking evilly.
"You've been a bad girl haven't you Rogue? Bad…in a bad way…" the blond snickered and left as sneakily as she had appeared.
/The very worst part of you
Is me/
======= Sinister's base =======
"Are you all sure of what you saw?" Sinister asked angrily at all the mutants that had arrived and reported on what they had seen the MoE girls do. They all shook in fear for a couple of seconds before anyone spoke.
"Yes Mr. Sinister we wouldn't lie about something like this…especially if it could endanger your plan to destroy Xavier," Gorgeous George answered.
"Did anyone of you get close enough to listen to a conversation?" Sinister asked still in a sour mood.
"I was to far away," Vertigo answered.
"I had the impression that all you wanted us to do was watch them…I could have gotten close enough but I didn't know that was your command," Ramrod answered politely hoping to not get yelled at.
"I was in another room…forgive me Mr. Sinister," Gorgeous George answered.
"I just watched from a distance and escaped before she could find out I was watching," Ruckus was the last to respond.
"This could foil my plans…are you sure the guys you saw them with are part of Xavier and Magneto's team?" he asked once again.
"I'm positive…Gambit is a man that cannot be easily forgotten," Vertigo commented.
"I know it was someone from the enemy since others showed up," Gorgeous George answered.
"I recognized him as Quicksilver when he ran to her."
"I sneaked in with she addressed him by the name of Angel."
Sinister growled in frustration, "This is a bad time for them to grow hearts."
"Sorry to interrupt Mr. Sinister but how do we know they haven't betrayed us? They haven't been here for a week and they haven't battled in that time either…sounds pretty suspicious to me," Vertigo commented tying to looking innocent.
"If they have it will ruin my plans…I have no choice but to have them eliminated," he said gravely since he would be getting rid of his secret weapons to defeating Xavier, but now he had the alliance of Apocalypse, Omega Red, the inner circle, Juggernaut, and he stilled had many people that worked for him. Maybe he didn't need them anymore…but he wouldn't let the X-men have them either…they had to die.
"Vertigo…I have a special job for you…" Sinister said. Vertigo threw an evil smile at him.

Friday (6 days later)
"Has white queen come to report any battles yet?" Nathan Essex asked Vertigo who had walked into his office seconds before.
"No sir…it seems like the MoE hasn't attacked the X-men or magneto's team for a couple of days."
"Well what the hell is wrong?"
"We aren't sure Mr. Sinister but Deathstrike has informed us that their covers have been blown…maybe they keeping a low profile and staying away from them for that reason."
"Something's not right," Sinister mumbled. "Get all the Nasty boys here," he commanded and watched Vertigo walk out the room. Minutes later all the members were in the office along with Vertigo.
"I need four of you to follow the MoE girls…something's not right and I want to know what. I want those of you that'll go to report back to me later tonight. They all nodded and waited for him to assign whom they'd be following.
"Vertigo you'll follow Rogue, Gorgeous George…Scarlet Witch, Ruckus…Psylocke, and Ramrod…X-23." They nodded and walked out the leaving the other two members of their team with sinister.
"As for you two… " She turned and looked at Slab and Hairbag, "Go make sure our guest are doing OK." Slab and Hairbag walked out of the office leaving sinister alone with his thoughts.
'Why do I get the feeling that something is going to go terribly wrong?' he asked himself.
======= JONDA =======
John yawned as the teenagers walked out of the chemistry lab at Bayville high and new ones came stumbling in. He had volunteered to help Mr. McCoy as an assistant at school…of course he was only doing it for one reason…Scarlet witch. After they had arrived at the x-mansion on Saturday and told everyone everything that had happened, Beast mentioned he had 'Wendy' in one of his Chemistry classes. So there he was wanting to see her…the bad thing was that he had been there since Monday and she hadn't gone at all. The bell that indicated class had started rang and he looked around the room…no Wanda. Mr. McCoy started his lectures on which elements were metals in the periodic table when the door to the classroom opened.
"Sorry I'm…late," Wanda, said walking in and coming face to face with John.
/When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see/
"That's quite alright Ms. Frost (They all use Emma's last name in school except for Betts…sry I forgot to mention that earlier). She nodded and walked to her seat. The class period went by fast and for that Wanda was thankful. She wanted to get out of that room as soon as possible. John started at her most of the period and she knew he wanted to talk…but she didn't. Soon the bell rang and Wanda quickly gathered her things to leave, as she was about to walk to the door Mr. McCoy called to her.
"I'd like to see you for a moment Ms…Maximoff." (I had him use that last name on purpose) Wanda looked up at him, he was standing behind his desk and John was next to him. She watched as all the others left the room and she found herself alone with them. She started walking towards them.
/When I pretend to forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can/
Beast noticed that she looked like she was getting ready to attacked so he spoke, "Don't worry this isn't X-men related…I just wanted to give you all the homework you've missed this week," he said and smiled getting a confused look from her. John just looking at her and she avoided eye contact with him. As Mr. McCoy was going to go ahead and tell her what she missed the intercom speaker came on.
"Can all teachers please report to the faculty lounge for a brief meeting."
Mr. McCoy looked up at the speaker, "I'm afraid I'll have to leave, but my assistant Mr. Allerdyce can give you what you need." he said and started walking way.
"That's evil Beast," she snarled talking about the fact he was leaving her alone with Pyro.
"There is nothing I can do…and I believe evil is YOUR specialty," he answered with a smile and walked out the door leaving both young mutants alone.
"Can you just give me the work?" Wanda asked John without looking at him.
"No, I think we have to talk shelia."
"You know what forget the fucken work…I'm leaving," she said and got her stuff and headed for the door.
"Wanda…" he called out to her making her stop. She didn't stop because he had called out to her but because of what he had called out…he had never called her Wanda before.
She stood still were she had stopped and the bag in her hand dropped to the floor. This was what she had been avoiding for a whole week and now it was happening…and she didn't know what the outcome would be. John walked behind her grabbed her by the shoulders turning her to face him. She looked up at him and he looked down at her. He hands which here on her shoulders slowly traveled down her arm to her writs. He easily took her watch off and she was herself. Not Scarlet Witch…not 'Wendy'…she was Wanda. (Meaning she wearing ordinary clothes with her ordinary hair…just in case some of you didn't get it…lol)
She looked at him curiously not knowing what to expect from the red-haired fire obsessed Australian. John did what he had planned…to have her in his arms…but now that she was there he didn't know what to do or what to say…so he said the first thing that popped up.
"Where you've been this week?"
"What does that matter?" she asked coldly with her eyes narrowed.
"I've…I've missed you," he said stuttering, her eyes softened.
"You've missed a lie," she answered as he ran a hand through some of her hair and slowly dragged a finger down to her cheek and then to her chin lifting it up.
"No…I've missed you," he answered, as his lips were mere inches away from hers.
/But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay/
"We can't do…" she was cut off by his lips; she was fighting to not enjoy it or respond but failed. When they broke apart Wanda spoke.
"That's the last time you'll feel my lips."
"Why?" he asked angrily.
"Because…you have to get the fact that I'M your enemy engraved in your brain…we can't do this…it's like betraying out team."
"You're forgetting that we've already betrayed our team…that night at the museum. It's now that you know my true identity that you running away…why?"
"You don't have to know why…can't you just be satisfied that you've had fun and leave at that. Why do you care…It's not like you love me or anything."
/I'm just trying to bend the truth/
He stayed quiet and she stared up at him waiting for him to say something, they both heard the door opened behind them. When they looked they found that it was Mr. McCoy, but he wasn't alone. Amara and Jubilee walked in behind him. Amara first looked at Wanda with shock and them she quickly transformed herself to fire noticing that her enemy was in front of her boyfriend. Wanda turned away from her and looked at her feet before looking back at John who had released her but still had her watch in his hands. She quickly hexed the watch to her hands and faced Pyro with cold sapphire eyes. He still hadn't said anything…
"I'll get you my pretty…" Scarlet Witch snarled up at him and then backed away from him, she turned around and walked towards the three X-men who were by the door. As she was about to pass magma she turned to look at her.
"…And your little bitch too," she added and continued walking towards the closed door. Meanwhile Jubilee was holding Amara back as she seemed to want to go after the fiery witch.
Wanda stopped a couple of feet from the doors and addressed Beast without looking at him, "Mr. McCoy…I don't need the homework…I came today to tell you this will be the last time you'll see me in class." When she finished she continued to head towards the door…then she heard John's voice.
"I do…"
She stopped in her tracks, slowly her hand came up in front of her, and her fist was clenched and pointing at the door. It started to glow blue and the door suddenly blew off the hinges and fell outside many feet away. She kept walking…
/I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be/
"And that doesn't help us at all," she said and walked out the door leaving three confused X-men wondering what John had meant.
John watched her slowly disappear he wanted to ran after her but something was stopping him…but if he had gone after her and looked into her eyes…he would have seen the same emotion that was in his…sadness.
/So I'm lying my way from you/
"John…" Amara started.
"Shut up Amara…I don't wanna fucken explain myself," he said and walked into another room that was Mr. McCoys office. He walked in…never knowing that someone had seen everything that had happened between him and Scarlet Witch.
======= ANLOCKE =======
Warren watched his students leave and then found himself all alone in his big classroom; he sighed and sat down in front of his desk burring his head in his hands. The one thing on his mind…that one thing that had been in his mind all week was…Elisabeth Braddock. He still couldn't believe it…Elisabeth was Psylocke.
/No, no turning back now
I want to be pushed aside/
'Someone must really hate me' he thought to himself. He was busy feeling sad about the whole situation he didn't notice someone was staring at him from the opening of the classroom…until he heard the heels walking down the stairs. He looked up startled and found the person he had been thinking about walking down. She was wearing a short purple skirt and a matching tank top, her hair was also purple.
/So let me go
No, no turning back now/
"I don't think the man upstairs hates you mate…after all…aren't you an angel?" she spoke first. He got up from his seat and took a couple of paces towards her and stopped as she walked up in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked emotionless not knowing whether to act as an X-men should and be a little colder to his enemy, or act like the man he was and showed he cared for the purple haired vixen.
"What's wrong Warren? Your not happy to see me luv?" she asked walking closer and having her toes touch his. He didn't answer.
/Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone/
She sighed, "I came to see you…obviously." He still didn't respond even as he put her hand on his cheek so she kept talking.
"As Elisabeth a woman…I'm here to tell I care about you Warren…I really do," she said softly her voice seemed to crack and she gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. She cleared her throat and continued, "As Elisabeth Braddock your student…I'm here to tell you I'm dropping the class," as she said this she backed away from him and looked down at the floor. She took a foot back, "As Psylocke," she stared and looked up at him with mischievous eyes, "I'm here to tell you that if you get in my way during battle I won't hesitate to bring you down…no matter what I feel for you," she finished coldly.
/No turning back now
Anywhere on my own/
"Did you really come all the way down here just to say that?" he asked coldly letting the X-men in him out.
"No…" she answered her eyes softening, "Like I said before…I wanted to see you," before he could answer they both heard the door to the class room shut and they turned to see who had entered. Only to find themselves alone in the room…someone hadn't entered…they had left.
Betts turned to look at him again, her cold eyes returning. "The doors to Sinister's Hell are opening…when you along with the other X-men go to try and stop us…I'll be there to welcome you…Angel." She turned away from him and stated to walk back up the stairs.
/'Cause I can see
No, no turning back now/
Warren watched her and thought, 'What about us?'
Betsy turned to look down at him when she reached the top.
"We were a dream Warren…and it's time for one of us to wake up," after she said that she walked out the door.
/The very worst part of you
Is me/
======= X-IETRO =======
"Hey Pie, how bout we go on a date tonight…it's been a while since we've done something Romantic," Crystal asked her boyfriend during lunch as she sat on his lap. He didn't answer he just looked out at in space…lost in his own thoughts.
"Pietro…are you listening?" Crystal asked getting annoyed.
"Yea" Pietro answered and looked at her.
"Is something wrong?" she asked worriedly.
'Yea…I'm here having lunch with you…when I would usually be off eating in Lance's jeep with…' he stopped himself from saying her name.
"No" he answered his girlfriend out loud. Crystal smiled.
"So how bout it then?"
"Sure" he answered not knowing what he had agreed to since he hadn't been listening. He looked and smiled at her smile. He then felt eyes on him so he quickly looked around and found where the stare was coming from…and who it was from. From across him in a far distance he found a girl…with bluish black hair…staring right at him with blue eyes.
"YAY" he turned away from the girl to look at Crystal.
"It' s gonna be lots of fun…anyway I'll be back in a couple of minutes kay baby? I have to go to the little girls room," she said getting off his lap.
"Alright" he answered and watched her go.
/I remember what they taught to me/
Lexa watched Crystal get up and leave Pietro, she closed her eyes…knowing that when they'd open he would be in front of her. She didn't know because she could pick up his scent even though she could…she knew because she knew him, and she was right. As her eyes open the met sapphire eyes looking down at her…they were in a state between anger and confusion.
"Hello Quicksilver."
/Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be/
"X-23" he answered curtly. "What are you doing here…like that?" he asked looking at her noticing she didn't look like she was going to class since her hair and eyes were blue.
"Well it seems you didn't miss me much this week…did you?"
"Why should I miss someone who did noting but lie to me since we've met?"
"Why are you answering a question with a question? And what do you mean I've lied to you since we've met?"
/Remember listening to all of that and this again/
"You should know since you're the liar. How come you played along this whole time? You've made this whole thing difficult," he yelled at her.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Lexa asked confused and then it dawned on her.
He thought she knew who he was from the beginning…that she had been playing a game. "You're so fucken dumb if you think I knew you were quicksilver," she lashed out at him.
"How could you have not known? You've easily picked up my scent in every battle we've been in…what makes meeting me at school any different?" he asked getting in her face.
Lexa didn't answer…she didn't know what to answer. She didn't know why her scents senses had seem to stop working while she was with Pietro…she hadn't even noticed that they stopped working around him until she found out he was quicksilver, but now that she knew she could easily pick up the scent…and they were the same. He's face being that close to hers didn't really help what she was feeling, he smelled like he usually did but it was also mixed with cologne and some sweat since he had just finished P.E. Lexa was being enticed by it and her eyes closed just letting it all in. She opened to find Pietro looking strangely at her.
/So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and/
"You know what…just forget it," she whispered. She then started to back away. "I really just came to try and clear this up and tell you that I'm leaving school so don't bother waiting for me at lunch…even though you probably weren't anyway," saying that she turned her back on him and started walking way.
"So that's it? Your just gonna leave this like this?" he yelled at her making her stop. She quickly turned around and glared at him.
"What the FUCK is THIS?" she asked getting back in his face again. "I'm you friend by day and your enemy by night…we can't do that anymore knowing the truth," she snapped.
/Trying to bend the truth/
"Well all THIS wouldn't have happened if YOU had kept you distance…especially if you knew that I was Quicksilver," he snapped back.
"Fuck you Pietro…I already told you I didn't know…if I had know I wouldn't have come anywhere near you…especially if I had known we'd get this close and that I'd actually fall…" she stopped herself from finishing the sentence. Pietro looked at her, his eyes widened at the thought about what she was going to say.
"Especially if you knew you were gonna fall what? Finish the damn sentence," he commanded quietly.
/The more I push the more I'm pulling away/
"I think you should leave," she whispered not finishing what she had started; he looked confused and looked over to where she gave a small nod. Crystal was back from the bathroom and from the looks of it she was looking for her boyfriend.
"You don't wanna keep her waiting…right?" he looked at his girlfriend and then turned to look at Lexa who was staring solemnly at the floor. He started to walk away and felt a hand on his wrist, he turned back to see what it was she wanted but came in contact with her lips. He responded without thinking…all he wanted at the moment was to taste her lips…which he had thought about ever since she had kissed him in the park. She broke the kiss and looked up at him to see that his eyes were close and his face seemed peaceful…he slowly opened his eyes. She knew the look in his eyes…it was a look she and the others got a lot from other guys…it was longing.
"Sorry…I just had to figure something out…and that was the only thing that would have given me an answer," she said and backed away from him.
/'Cause I'm
Lying my way from you/
"I'll see you on the battlefield…Quicksilver," saying that she turned away from him. She walked away and eyes looking down at the floor and when she looked up she saw something she wasn't expecting. Wanda was leaning on a wall straight ahead of her looking smug. Lexa rolled her eyes.
"How long have you been here?" she asked.
"Not long…actually I just caught the last part," her smirk faded and she looked at her twin brother who was staring at them. "Come on…we have better things to do," she said after and walked towards the parking lot having X-23 follow close behind.
"Are you planning to speak to Lady D yet?" Wanda asked.
"Deathstrike can kiss my ass for all I care."
"I'll take that as a NO."
"Good observation," Lexa answered bitterly. Wanda gave her a side glance and kept walking.
Pietro watched his sister and Lexa leave he gave a frustrated sigh and walked back to his girlfriend, if he had stayed he would have seen the trees that were huddled together near by break apart.
Ramrod watched the Scarlet witch and X-23 get in a blue convertible, and then he looked towards the young man he recognized as quicksilver and gave a sight frown.
'Sinister is not going to like what I've seen' he thought to himself and walked through the portal that had appeared behind him.
======= MoE =======
Remy slowly walked up to the steps of the big looking mansion. He didn't know what had made him decide to come and look for her…maybe the fact that she hadn't picked up any of his calls on their private phones, she hadn't gone to see him, and the MoE had strangely enough stayed out of trouble for that entire week. He was worried that maybe something had happened to her…even thought maybe it would be better off to forget her.
He looked at the door in front of him deciding whether he should really be doing this, unconsciously he pressed the doorbell. The door opened to show a blonde lady with her hair up in a ponytail she looked at him weirdly.
"Can I help you?" she asked not recognizing him. Remy moved his hand to his image inducer and flicked it making his unusual eyes appear. The white queens eyes widened.
'Shit…how do they know where we live?' she asked herself and called telepathically to the people in the house to get their butts downstairs immediately.
"Emma what's wrong? Yuriko asked walking into the room and finding Gambit in front of their doorstep. Her nails slowly came out and her head tilted to the side curiously looking at him.
Emma looked behind him and noticed he was alone…how weird didn't he know coming alone was a suicide mission. Her thoughts were interrupted by the only Goth in the house.
"What the hell is going on? Rogue asked and noticed Gambit in front of the open door; she stopped walking and looked at him.
"Looks like we have company," Deathstrike answered and looked at him dangerously.
Before either adult could attack Rogue walked in front of him getting in the others way.
"It's okay…I'll handle this," she said and got a confused look from the adults in return. Rogue turned to look at them, "He's here to see me." With that she flicked his image inducer making brown eye appear and she grabbed her own watch which was on a table near the door. White Queen and Deathstrike looked at her still confused, Rogue looked at them expecting them to leave and give her some privacy but since they didn't even move she pushed gambit out of the doorway and closed the door behind her walking outside.
"I think there's something she's not telling us," Deathstrike mumbled looking at the closed door.
" I think your right," Emma responded and started to walk out of the room feeling another presence in the mansion.
======= ROMY =======
/No, no turning back now/
"What in the hell are you thinking coming here knowing who we are and also showing up with your image inducer off. If I weren't home you would have probably ended up dead you know?" Rogue scolded Gambit who was walking closely behind. "What are you doing here anyway?" she asked as she reached the streets sidewalk.
"I came to see why you 'aven't picked up my calls cheri," he responded as he stopped next to her. She slowly took something out from her pocket and handed it to him. Remy looked down at the item in his hand…it was a hunter green cell phone…and it looked like it had been smashed in half.
/I want to be pushed aside
So let me go/
"Does that answer your question?"
"Oui" they both just stood still for a couple of seconds in awkward silence. They had never had trouble talking…as Remy and 'Anna' or as Gambit and Rogue…so why was it so hard now as?
She started walking down the sidewalk trying to figure out what to say, he was also thinking about what he should say as he walked next to her. Finally she said what she was thinking.
"This sucks."
"What?" he asked as she looked at him like he was stupid.
"THIS! We thought we were in a fairy tale love only to find out it was all a lie."
/No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life/
"Cruel irony...mais it wasn't all a lie…was it?" he asked looking at her face.
"Non," she answered and looked up at him lovingly.
"You know what else sucks?" she asked turning away from him.
"Quoi?"
"I somehow knew…that's why that day at the pyramid I didn't absorb your memories…I was in denial," she said shaking side to side slightly. They stopped at the cross light and crossed the street, walking down back towards the house but on the opposite side of it.
"I should have known too…like it wasn't obvious from the fact that I thought you were Rogue that first time we made love."
"You're lucky we're the same person…or else I would have had to kick you ass for thinking about someone else while screwing me," she answered with a small smile.
He went silent and thought about something for a while then he spoke.
/I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now/
"Why are we taking this so calmly?"
"I don't know…I guess it's as if we knew down in our hearts something like this would happen."
"So what now?" he asked as he stopped in front of his motorcycle, which was parked across the street from the mansion. She stopped and looked at him.
"Remy do you believe that everything in life is already planned…or do you think that we make our own destiny's?"
"Remy makes his own destiny…that's why he's come this far," he answered, Rogue rolled her eyes at the third person thing even though she had gotten used it.
"Then what happens next is up to you…" she flicked his image inducer making his beautiful red on black eyes appear. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed the button on her watch making her emerald eyes along with her brown hair with two white stripes appear. As their lips got closer a car stopped in front of them. Rogue turned to find Lex and Wanda both staring at her. They looked for about a second and then Wanda opened the garage door to park the car in.
/Anywhere on my own
'Cause I can see/
Rogue looked at them and then turned to look at him making up here mind to what she was going to do. "Ah believe everything in life happens for a reason…and yah know why this happened?
"Non…porquoi?"
"So that yah can get on yah bike right now and go to the X-mansion…and next time we meet your going to play hero and try to kick mah ass." She pulled him into a big passionate kiss and then pulled away pushing the button to show her fake image.
"Our fairytale love doesn't have a happy ending Remy…" was the last thing she said, she then backed away from him and started crossing the street towards her house. Since she wasn't looking she failed to see the car going straight towards her, it stopped inches from her.
"Rogue you stupid git…you're so lucky I didn't hit you…do you have any idea how much it would cost me to have this jeep repaired!" Elisabeth Braddock shouted from the drivers' seat of her purple jeep. Rogue looked at her and smirked then kept walking. Psylocke gave a frustrated yell and then spotted Gambit.
"Oh hey Gambit" she said and looked at him…he looked like he had seen a ghost. Betts started strangely at him but figured out he had gotten a minor heart attack thinking Rogue was going to get run over. She shrugged and opened the garage door to park her jeep, when she did the garage door closed.
/No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you/
Remy snapped himself out of the trance he was in and looked to Rogue who was barley reaching the door. She opened the door and looked at him, she had her fake look on. Then she turned into herself by taking the watch off…he stared at her and she stared back…then suddenly she slammed the door shut.
Gambit started at the shut door.
"Remy makes his own destiny cheri…and I'm not planning to give up on you jus yet," he whispered and then got on his jeep and headed for the X-men Mansion.
Four people watched him go, Scarlet Witch and X-23 from a window upstairs. Rogue from a window downstairs was peeking out; as soon as he was gone she gave a small sigh and turned her back on the window. Her head lightly hit the window as she leaned on it. The last person that was watching was on the roof and was smirking evilly.
"You've been a bad girl haven't you Rogue? Bad…in a bad way…" the blond snickered and left as sneakily as she had appeared.
/The very worst part of you
Is me/
======= Sinister's base =======
"Are you all sure of what you saw?" Sinister asked angrily at all the mutants that had arrived and reported on what they had seen the MoE girls do. They all shook in fear for a couple of seconds before anyone spoke.
"Yes Mr. Sinister we wouldn't lie about something like this…especially if it could endanger your plan to destroy Xavier," Gorgeous George answered.
"Did anyone of you get close enough to listen to a conversation?" Sinister asked still in a sour mood.
"I was to far away," Vertigo answered.
"I had the impression that all you wanted us to do was watch them…I could have gotten close enough but I didn't know that was your command," Ramrod answered politely hoping to not get yelled at.
"I was in another room…forgive me Mr. Sinister," Gorgeous George answered.
"I just watched from a distance and escaped before she could find out I was watching," Ruckus was the last to respond.
"This could foil my plans…are you sure the guys you saw them with are part of Xavier and Magneto's team?" he asked once again.
"I'm positive…Gambit is a man that cannot be easily forgotten," Vertigo commented.
"I know it was someone from the enemy since others showed up," Gorgeous George answered.
"I recognized him as Quicksilver when he ran to her."
"I sneaked in with she addressed him by the name of Angel."
Sinister growled in frustration, "This is a bad time for them to grow hearts."
"Sorry to interrupt Mr. Sinister but how do we know they haven't betrayed us? They haven't been here for a week and they haven't battled in that time either…sounds pretty suspicious to me," Vertigo commented tying to looking innocent.
"If they have it will ruin my plans…I have no choice but to have them eliminated," he said gravely since he would be getting rid of his secret weapons to defeating Xavier, but now he had the alliance of Apocalypse, Omega Red, the inner circle, Juggernaut, and he stilled had many people that worked for him. Maybe he didn't need them anymore…but he wouldn't let the X-men have them either…they had to die.
"Vertigo…I have a special job for you…" Sinister said. Vertigo threw an evil smile at him.
======= TBC =======
