OoOoOoOo Chapter 15 OoOoOoOo
John burst through the door getting the attention of all his teammates, they were all in the rec room and it was around this time at night that they were truly alone since the X-men had curfew (hehehe). Pietro looked up at his fire-loving friend who went over to where he was sitting and slumped down next to the quick boy.
"What up mon ami?" Remy asked watching John brush a hand on his face. Pietro and lance looked at the Pyromaniac as Blob and toad ignored and continued playing a video game.
John sighed and looked at Pietro, Pietro perked an eyebrow at him.
"Scarlet Witch is pregnant…" he replied hesitantly, Pietro's eyes looked like they were going to bulge out.
"WHAT? Who the hell…" Pietro yelled and started rambling while pacing around the room. Lance looked a bit shock by the news and watched his silver haired buddy with a bit of amusement. Remy who was shocked looked at John and then at Pietro…someone was gonna get yelled at soon.
"Whoa…when are you gonna tell de boss…or speedy for dat matter?" he asked in a low voice so only John could hear.
"I dunno mate…I'm gonna be a daddy me…a dad," John answered flabbergasted.
"Oui I know what you mean…you still a kid and now you gonna have one…what you tell de witch?" John stayed quiet and looked down giving Remy the wrong idea.
"You didn't tell 'er to get rid of it right?" he asked at his friend's silence.
"What…course not," he yelled getting everyone to look at his outburst. Pietro finally stopped pacing and ran to face John.
"How do you know this?"
"The shelia told me," John said stating the obvious.
Pietro was about to ask him another question when he stopped and studied the young Australians face. "Why would she tell…" he started slowly and stopped to look at Gambit who was looking at him with intense eyes. The room got quiet and even Fred and Todd stopped playing around.
"YOU…I'll KILL you," Pietro said grabbing a hold of John's neck realizing what his silence and Gambit's gaze meant. They fought a bit while Lance and Remy looked at them and Toad and blob went back to their game.
"You think we should stop them?" Lance asked.
Remy looked at his watch, "Non…jus a bit more," he mumbled and turned to look at the fighting mutants. Five minutes later Lance asked again, Remy shook his head and got in between the mutants pulling John back as Lance held on to the mad Quicksilver.
"Let me at him let me at him," Pietro shouted while John stuck his tongue out at him.
"Okay that's enough…stop," Lance yelled and the earth started to shake a bit.
"Oui…you both grown adults 'ere…now sit down and let's talk about this like civilized people," Remy added sitting John on the opposite couch from where Pietro was sitting.
"We're civilized?" Lance asked confused, Remy thought about it before answering.
"Well...not really but we either act like we are or we let dese two kill one another." All four mutants became quiet and sat on the couches with Pyro and quicksilver glaring at each other.
"Okay…so lets talk," Remy said hoping that one would speak, finally after five minutes of uncomfortable silence Pietro spoke.
"When? How? Why?" he asked angrily while glaring at the redhead.
"Dunno…one minute we were fighting the next minute we were fuc…"
"DON'T say that word when we're talking about MY SISTER," Pietro yelled not wanting to get the idea in his head. Everything got quiet again and Remy and Lance kept looking from one young Mutant to the other wondering who was going to say something.
"Do you even care about her?" Pietro asked glaring at John.
John looked up at Pietro and slowly answered, "Yea…I wouldn't 'ave done what I did if I 'adn't…and I bet I care about 'er as much as you care for the blue haired one…" Pietro's eyes softened at that.
Quicksilver studied John who looked pretty serious, the fact that Wanda wasn't stupid enough to just sleep with anyone came into his head. She wouldn't have done it…if she didn't want to. He sighed completing his thoughts and looked at the redhead.
"If you hurt h…" he started.
"I'd hurt myself before I hurt 'er." John spoke before Pietro could finish his sentence. Pietro nodded and both just stared at each other in mutual understanding.
"So…we all cool?" Remy asked. Both mutants nodded.
"Shake on it," Lance spoke up and got weird look from his friends. "What?" he asked.
"You spending too much time with de chat mon ami," Remy replied.
"Yea…before you know it he'll want us to give each other group hugs when one of us 'as to leave the room," John teased. Pietro smirked at Lance while John laughed hysterically and Remy chuckled, then he spoke again.
"What did you tell her when she told you?" Pietro asked curiously. John looked at him and answered…
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
"John…I'm Pregnant."
"What?" John asked stupidly.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Are you deaf…I said I'm pregnant," she almost yelled at him but calmed herself.
John looked at Wanda's face and slowly turned to look at her stomach which was hidden behind a big red sweater. Without warning he lifted it up along with her red tank top and looked at her bare tummy. It looked no different then when he had seen her naked but he ran a finger on her smooth skin noticing that her tummy was getting a bit hard. Of course it was hard with the muscle she had but this kind of hard was different from the first time he held her bare waist.
Wanda watched his movements wondering what was going on in his little brain (hehehe). She looked down at his head as his head looked up and theirs eyes met.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled breaking Wanda's heart. 'He doesn't want it' were the words going through her head but then she was interrupted by him.
"You probably didn't want this to happen…well at least not this early in life," he added with a small smile. She looked down at him confused but then got any doubts out of her head as she felt his fingers gently running circles around her pierced belly button.
"You're gonna keep that thing in there?" he asked playing with it.
She looked at him like he was stupid, "What do you think?"
He smiled sheepishly then turned serious again as he looked into her eyes.
"So…what are we gonna do?" he asked.
"I…I don't know…" she said looking a bit lost.
"Well I do know something…"
"What's that?"
"That we're gonna go through this together…" John whispered causing Wanda to give a small smile, she then felt John lightly kiss her stomach and his knees dropped to the ground as he rested his head on her lap sideways. Wanda started running a hand through his spiked hair and both stayed quiet wondering what the future hold for them…together.
'I didn't ask for this…I didn't want this now…but…now that I think about it…I wouldn't have it happening any other way' Wanda thought looking at her redheaded angel. They stayed quiet for a while until…
"You know…there's NO way yur gonna fight in that battle against Sinister."
"What…what do you mean I can't fight in the big battle…I AM going and I'm gonna kick ass."
"Nuh uh…yur not going anywhere in yur condition."
"And who's gonna stop me… you?" Wanda asked glaring as John looked up at her. They argued back and forth from then on.
OoOoOoOo End Flashback OoOoOoOo
"And that's what happened," John finished. Blob wiped a tear off his eye with the Kleenex Colossus gave him, next to him Todd who was crying too…but not because he thought it was beautiful but because he thought it was horrible.
"Wow…so when are you gonna propose?" Lance asked.
"What? Let's take it slow mate I just found out I'm gonna be a father lets not rush things too much," John answered turning as white as a sheet.
"Oui mon ami…let the garcon take dings one step at a time," Remy said chuckling at the pyromaniac.
"Well I guess we can't stop whatever happens," Pietro said a little more calmed down and letting the fact he was going to be an uncle sink in. "I just have one question…when are you gonna tell my dad?" He asked smirking. Lance and Remy looked at John who looked like he rather die then go up to the boss and say "I knocked up your daughter boss" they laughed at the image in their head while Pietro still smirked and John stood as still as a dead man.
OoOoOoOo MoE OoOoOoOo
Rogue walked into her room to find Wanda lying on her bed looking at the ceiling.
"How it go?" she asked as Wanda looked at her.
"Good…I guess."
"What do yah mean yah guess…what did he say."
"He said he'd be there for all of it…he also tried to get me out of the battle with sinister but like I'm gonna miss that."
"Maybe yah should," Rogue whispered looking at her.
"What?" Wand asked surprised.
"Well yahr gonna be a month now…are yah sure yah want to put it in danger?" While in the middle of the question X-23 walked in back in her regular pj's.
"Who's in danger?" she asked.
"I'm asking Wanda if she wants to put the baby in danger by battling."
"Ooh good thing to talk about…you know I read that the babies are the weakest in the womb during the first trimester," Lexa said sounding really smart getting a curious look from Wanda and rogue.
"What?" she asked.
"You read?" Rogue said sound skeptical.
"Ha ha ha ha" Lex answered dryly then both turned to look at the Goth on the bed.
"Look guys…thanks for the concern but don't forget who I am. Knowing me as well as you do I would have thought you would know nothing will stop me from being there…I'm not a piece of glass you know."
"We know…it's just…" Rogue started.
"I know…" Wanda answered looking at them both. The three stayed quiet.
"Where's Betts?" Wanda asked.
"She wanted to stay longer with Emma who will get her own room tomorrow." Rogue answered. "She's say's hi though," Wanda nodded.
"So what about you guys…have you've spent all this time with white Queen?"
"Hmph…Lexa didn't even go…she was too busy entertaining you're brother dear…" Rogue answered smirking at the youngest girl.
Lexa rolled her eyes, "Like you weren't off in some redeye demons arms," she said knowingly while Rogue's smirk left her face. Wanda perked an eyebrow at them.
"Something I should know about?" she asked.
"NO…" both answered looking at each other.
"Whatever…I don't have the energy to drag it out of you," Wanda answered closing her eyes.
"Ah guess we should start getting ready to sleep…" Rogue said staring at Starlet Witch's Peaceful face.
"Yea…especially since we didn't get any yesterday…I'm so tired I might just drop dead right here right now…" Lexa answered getting ready to lie on the bed.
"Well ah suggest yah go to your own and get some relaxing rest…we have a long week ahead of us." X-23 all of a sudden got Goosebumps on her arms.
"Yea…but hopefully it won't be our last," she whispered eerily making Wanda open her eyes.
"Lex…go get some sleep and get the bullshit out of your head…" she answered as she re closed her eyes.
"Yeah…we'll beat Sinister at his little game…I can guarantee that," Rogue answered mysteriously while looking out of her balcony window making herself look as if she could see miles away. Lexa looked at both of them before going into her own deep thoughts.
"Yea…you're probably right…well…'night," she said walking towards the door and opening it to let herself out. As she was about to close the door she poked her head through.
"Don't let the Aussies and Cajuns bite…"
"Hardy har har…" Rogue replied dryly as Wanda shouted, "LAME!" Lexa smirked and left the room, after hearing the door from across their room close Wanda spoke.
"What are you planning?"
"What do yah mean?"
"You guaranteed Sinister's plan isn't going to work…why are you so confident?"
"Cause we were the toughest bitches on his team," she answered while getting into her bed.
"I know you better than that you know…" Wanda answered unconvinced.
"Ah know…" Rogue answered and then they both shut up and quickly fell asleep getting the much-needed sleep.
OoOoOoOo Wednesday (4 days later) OoOoOoOo
Lexa was in the danger room kicking major ass…she was concentrating so hard she failed she had two people staring at her. As she slammed her fist and feet into the robotic Vertigo her thoughts were focused on hitting the robot so hard that it would break…she was hoping that she'd get a chance to do this to the real bitch…and in two days, she might get her wish.
The past couple of days had gone by faster than expected, the X-mansion was chaotic. People were running around like crazy all the time, everyone got up at 5 in the morning and everyone was scheduled individual training as well as group training to have everyone feel comfortable with each other and their fighting techniques. The adults ran the individual sessions…and unfortunately for X-23 the person who watched her train and helped was the person she wishes would drop dead. Actually all the girls were getting trained by the adults they liked the least…it was as if Xavier planned to get everyone on good terms…too bad no one told him the half the MoE members knew how to hold a grudge. Rogue had finished her training under the watchful eye of mystique after Scarlet Witch had beat the crap out of a Magneto look a like Robot as magneto watched her, and now there was X-23 jumping around trying to avoid the hit's the robot Vertigo was throwing at her listening to Wolverine as he instructed her. X-23 rolled her eyes at him as he heard him say that she shouldn't relay on her claws too much when she popped them out and thanked the heavens that soon it was going to be Betts turn with Ms. Perfect. As she looked at him she noticed the other person watching her…Quicksilver. She gave him a confused glance before dodging a kick from Robo-vertigo.
Wolverine watched as the machine hit X-23 after a couple of dodges and look at Pietro since it was obvious he was the reason for the distraction. He watched as Pietro's face was wincing when Lexa got hit straight in the gut and she fell to the ground. Logan went back to facing his young genetic copy who had gotten up and was looking a little more than pissed off.
"What exactly are you doing here?" he asked Quicksilver as his eyes followed Lexa's form through the simulation.
"Nothing really…just came to watch if X-23 is really as tough as she thinks when she fighting at her best," he answered.
"You're good at lying…too bad I can smell a lie a mile away…"
"What gave me away?" Pietro asked not denying the fact that he was sorta lying.
"The way your face cringes when she gets hurt…the way your eyes haven't left her since you've been here and…the fact her scent is all over you."
"Oh," he mumbled. As Logan was about to ask what was going on between them the simulation finished and a drenched in sweat X-23 came into the control room. She gave Pietro a puzzled look before looking at Wolverine and asking how she did. Logan looked down into her eyes which didn't hold as much hatred as the first day he met and then looked down at the danger room floor to find the vertigo look a like motionless on the floor without a head. He perked an eyebrow up at her.
"Since you left her headless I'm gonna say you did fine…over all progress it seems that you have actually gotten stronger."
"Good…" X-23 answered and looked at the broken robot with a wicked gleam in her eye. Pietro and Logan saw this and looked at each other then turned back to her. As if noting their discomfort at her evilness slipping out she turned to them with a 'what?' look making them quickly face somewhere else. Lexa forced herself not to roll her eyes...'you'd think they realize that just cause we're living here doesn't mean we'll change…at least not a lot' she told herself.
"Are we done?" she asked a bit annoyed.
"Yup…that's it for you today…er actually that's it for your individualsessions…looks like there won't be any tomorrow cause there is going to be a big team session including the adults. Lexa nodded and walked out the room being reluctantly followed by the speed demon. Logan watched them go and wondered what Magneto though about this new development…he probably didn't know since it seemed he didn't even know that his daughter was expecting a mini Pyro. Logan rolled his eyes and stared at the door to the control room seeing as Storm walked in.
"Something wrong Logan?"
"Nah…just thinking how wild things are getting," he answered the weather witch.
"Yes I know what you mean…there is a lot of tension around here now that we're so close."
"So you have a session right now?"
"Yes…" as she answered two people walked into the room. Storm looked at them and smiled.
"Right on time Mr. Alvers…kitty what are you doing her?"
"Oh I like came to cheer lance on…" she answered sweetly while blushing a bit.
"How thoughtful," storm answered nodding at lance to go down and start. As lance passed Logan he made a little snarling sound.
"Logan" Ororo said in a scolding voice. Lance passed and got down, as he looked up at the control room Kitty smiled and waved to him, he gave a sweet smile back at her. Logan rolled his eyes and got a glare from Storm making him give her a questioning look. She rolled her eyes at him, kitty watched them thinking they were acting like teenagers, she held in a chuckle and looked back down to her rock tumbler as he got started.
OoOoOoOo Locker Room OoOoOoOo
"So what was the honor of your visit?" Lexa asked as Pietro walked with her to the girls' locker room.
"What I can't come and make sure you don't get hurt?" he asked in mock anger. She rolled her eyes.
"You know you only came to see me in these tight clothes and in those hard to get into positions," she answered looking at him cockily.
"You know me to well," he answered smirking. She shook her head. "What? It's just…very interesting to see you bend the way you do…you're very flexi…you know that can be very handy soon," he said suggestively. Lexa chuckled as she felt his hand wrap around her waist.
"You wish," she responded to the comment.
"Bad answer…cause my wishes have been coming true all this week," he whispered into her ear while giving it small nibbles. She shivered as they stopped in front of the locker room door.
"Whatever," she said with a small smile. "Well I'm gonna take a shower so I'll talk to you later," she said trying to get out of his arms only to be pulled into him tighter. She felt his hot breath on her ear making her smile widened.
"How bout I join you?" he asked seductively. She pulled her self out of his arms and gave a smile before opening the door and started waking in.
"Awww…I can't even watch?" he asked moping as the door shut, he looked at it for a minute and when he was about to leave the door reopened and a hand dragged him inside.
"Had to make sure no one was in here," Lexa whispered as she pinned him to a wall and then started making out with him.
After they broke apart for breath Pietro asked, "So does this mean I get to watch…or join?" he asked with glazed eyes.
"Which ever one you want…" she answered walking away from him and starting one of the showers, the water fell down on her getting her all wet; he slowly walked towards her already knowing his decision.
OoOoOoOo Kitchen OoOoOoOo
"So how do you feel today?"
"I'm fine John sheesh you don't have to act like my doctor…that's what beast is here for," Wanda answered annoyed.
/I made a promise Said it everyday/
"Aw is my shelia feeling grumpy today?" John asked his voice sounding like if he was talking to a baby receiving a glare from his beloved. "Come on Wanda lighten up…anyway it's my job as the father and boyfriend to worry," he said giving his pouting girl a kiss on the forehead. "I know what will make you feel better!" he said going to the refrigerator and taking out what she had been craving for a while…strawberry ice cream.
"You sux…" she said glaring at him.
"I know…but you love me anyway," he answered smiling at her and handling a spoon to her, soon both were digging in not saying much. Suddenly a though popped in to John's head.
"Ahhh shelia…" he yelled scaring her.
"What?"
"That day at the club…did you drink an alcoholic drink?" he asked worriedly.
"Uh…yeah…so?" Wand answered looking puzzled.
"Don't you know what this means? Our baby might come out with problems because you drank while you are pregnant," he answered pacing around.
"Uh John…it was only one drink and anyway Mr. McCoy said everything was fine when I saw him this morning."
"Whoo..." he answered sitting down in the chair next to him putting a hand on his chest as if he had gotten a miner heart attack.
"So what do you think we should name the little tyke?"
"Uh…first I'd like to find out what the little 'tyke' is gonna be," she answered still eating her ice cream.
After a while of silence Wanda spoke up, "John…I think its time."
"YOU'RE HAVING THE BABY?"
Wanda looked at him as if he were an idiot, " Does it look like I'm going to have it now?" she asked annoyed pointing to her petite stomach.
"Oh…so what's it time for then?" he asked sitting down.
"I think it's time to tell magneto…"
"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY SHEILA? He'll kill us both," he yelled looking around to see if he was anywhere nearby.
"Are you seriously telling me that you're scared of him?"
"Duh…you should be too…" he answered looking around paranoid.
"Please I can take care of my father with one hand tied behind my back …" she replied getting up and going to the door.
"Where you going?" he asked.
"To tell him and your coming with…" she answered dragging him behind her with her power.
"No I don't wanna die…I'm too young," John shouted as she took him pass the rec room.
"Oh shut up and stop worrying for now…first I got to get my camera."
"Camera? What for?"
"So I can take a picture of his reaction…I wouldn't miss it for the world." she smiled wickedly.
"AHHH your gonna get us killed." John shouted as everyone in the room heard them as they passed by.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Lance had just gotten out of the shower since he's his DR session was over and was walking down the hall. He heard Pyro's cry for help for a second but ignored thinking the crazy Aussie was playing some kind of game. He continued walking and passed a lot of the junior recruits. He saw Ray and Jubilee shoving each other playfully while in front of them was Amara and Roberto holding hands, in her other hand was a single white rose. Lance perked an eyebrow… ' Amara and Roberto? When did this happen?' he asked himself but asked a different questioning out loud.
"Hey do you guys know where Kitty's at?" he asked them.
"Hmm…yeah we just left her alone in the rec room," Jubilee answered as Ray threw some of her hair up into her face. Jubilee looked at him annoyed and Amara and Roberto kept walking looking at each other not even noticing him.
"I think she said she was calling home…" Ray added to Lance's answer and got smacked in the back of the head by Jubilee who then ran past Lance to get away. Ray soon went after as Lance watched the four turn the corner, he rolled his eyes, "Kids" he mumbled and went in search for his pretty kitty. When he walked into the room he noticed that Kitty was on the phone and a couple of tears were running down her cheek, he immediately got worried and walked to her. Kitty saw him and gave him a weak smile that made him stop.
"Yeah Mom everything's going like totally fine…just ignore that bad feeling you're getting."
"No Mom I'm not lying," she answered the question through her teeth."
"Um…I'm not sure if I can make it next week…I'll like have to call you back and let you know after the weekend," she answered trying to keep her voice steady.
"Ok…like bye mom…I love you tell dad I said hi and that I love him too…bye."
She hung up the phone and that's when Lance continued his stroll to her. When he got to her he crouched down to her level and cupped her chin with one of his hands.
"You're too pretty to be crying kit…" he told her as he rubbed his thumb were tears had stained her face. She gave him a small smile.
"Why are you crying anyway?" he asked confused.
"I like not sure…guess all this has finally gotten to me…you I never really lied to my parents before."
"What part of that was a lie?"
"Isn't it like obvious? I told them everything was totally fine…does it look like everything is totally fine?" she asked him and looked through the window, he turned to look too and found that a lot of the mutants from different teams were outside fighting with each other trying to get stronger.
"You didn't lie to them…you should have told them you would be able to go next week…" he said not looking at her but as he said this she looked at him.
"No…because in order to tell them that we'd be saying that we're gonna win the battle," she said surprising him by losing the valley girl accent for a whole sentence. He looked down at her.
"We are going to win the battle…we don't know if anyone is going to die but we are going to win…and if anyone dies I can honestly tell you that you're going to be one of the survivors," he said confidently.
"Like how do you know?" Kitty asked staring deep into his brown orbs.
/Now I'm reading romance novels/
"Cause I'll be there next to you to make sure nothing happens to you…" he answered and looked away feeling a little shy, Kitty smile widened at this.
"Lance…that's is like totally sweet," she squealed and put her arms around his neck. "You know what you're like totally right," she said as their eyes were connecting again. "We are going to make it through this…together. And you know what? After this is all over…I want you to come with me…"
"Where?" he asked confused.
"Like duh to Illinois so you can like go see my parents and you can meet them."
"Uh…we've met…and I don't think it's a good idea…don't you remember I tried to kill all of you first time we met?"
"So…you tried killing me and I love you…" she answered and turned scarlet at the fact she had just admitted she loved him. Lance looked down at her shocked…she loved him? Kitty's head went down as she looked at her feet.
"Well…I guess maybe there's still hope that I may win them over," Kitty looked up after hearing him say this. When she looked at him she noticed he was leaning in towards her. Their lips touched for a moment and they he pulled away just a little since she could feel his breath on her lips.
"I love you too…Katherine Pyrde…" after he whispered this onto her lips the kisses again, this time it was more then a gentle kiss on the lips, their tongues were intertwining as their passion unleashed. Both with the same thought in their head…they had to survive…they would survive…for they had a future ahead of them…a future…together.
/And I'm dreaming of yesterday /
OoOoOoOo Xavier's office OoOoOoOo
"YOU'RE WHAT?" Magneto yelled out.
OoOoOoOo locker room OoOoOoOo
"Did you hear that?" X-23 asked Pietro who was pressed up against her as she leaned on the wall. Pietro stopped butterfly kissing her neck and collarbone. Both looked up at the ceiling as the water fell on them.
"Must have been the wind…"
"Pietro…we're not outside," she said in a 'your stupid' tone.
/This is home/
"Right…well who cares it probably wasn't important…" he answered and continued what he had stopped. Lexa kept looking at the ceiling with a confused look; she finally shrugged and enjoyed the felling of Pietro's lips and the water on her naked form.
/ Home/
OoOoOoOo Xavier's office OoOoOoOo
"I SAID I'm pregnant with John's baby," Wanda yelled back at her father while John coward behind her.
"YOU…you took my sweet little baby's innocence?" Magneto asked breathily while glaring at Pyro. By this time a lot of metal objects were flying around and Wanda was hexing them out of John's way.
"Uh…Magneto…boss…do you really think she's THAT innocent?" John asked as he hand pointed at Wanda's face like he was advertising her. Wanda rolled her eyes at both men while Eric growled. He was going to say something else to them but the door to the bathroom of Xavier's office opened to show a messy haired and dressed Mystique. Everyone started at each other in awkward silence at being caught in such a position.
"Uhhhhh…" Mystique said racking her brain for something to say.
"We…can explain…" Magneto replied as John's mouth hung wide open.
/And this is home
Home/
"Ew don't…well it seems we caught you in a bad time…so bye. We just wanted to let you know we are having a baby so you better give John some time off and…well I think that's it…John lets go," Wanda said walking out the door being closely followed by Pyro.
"Wait a minute we aren't done here!" Eric yelled after them.
"Whatever Magneto…I'm an adult so I can do whatever I want…anyway you never really cared about me before so do me a favor and don't start now…" Wanda yelled over her should her walked out, John did to but then poked his head into the room.
"Boss…you dog…" he smirked and almost got hit by a metal candlestick.
"'Ey what's that for? Anyway make sure you mates use a…" another candlestick flew his way and this one actually hit.
"Ow…just warning you…don wanna end up like…" a stapler flew towards John.
"I'm leaving I'm leaving…" John shouted as he ran to catch up to his girlfriend avoiding any more things thrown at him. As he reached Wanda he put his arms around her waist.
"Well…that was interesting…wasn't it luv?" he asked nuzzling her cheek.
"More like creepy…" she answered as they walked down the hall enjoying being in the pyromaniac's arms.
/This is home/
OoOoOoOo The roof (sometime later) OoOoOoOo
/I'd like to see the Riviera
And slow dance underneath the stars/
Rogue was sitting alone one the ceiling rail looking down at all the things happening down on the ground. There were no MoE members but one training with the rest of the X-men…but it didn't surprise her since it had been going on all week. Wanda, Lexa and herself would train with each other only if they were doing a team session unless it was a mandatory "All Mutants" session run by Prof. Xavier, sometimes they also included the guys but it wasn't a lot. Her emerald eyes followed all of Psylocke's movements…from when they had barley began the session and she successfully dodged everything thrown to her to the end where she was laughing and smiling at them all, especially Angel. She felt his presence before she heard him whisper into her ear.
"Dey be rumors…y'know."
"Ah know…" she answered not bothering to look at the handsome Cajun.
"Y'believe 'em cheri?" Remy asked putting his hands on her should and slowly dragging them down until he found her hands and hold both of them. Rogue leaned back into him her neck in the crook of his as she looked up at the sky…sunset was close.
/I'd like to watch the sun come up/
"Ah dunno…ah dunno anything right know…things will happen as the world wants them to happen…"
"Non…things will happen as people make choices…dere decisions will have an effect…mais if it does happen what will you do?"
"Nothing…there is nothing ah can do…"
Remy kissed her forehead as they kept looking down; he broke the silence after a while.
"You say y'don know anything…mais you do know something…" Rogue looked up to face him.
"And what would that be swamp rat?" she asked with a perked eyebrow.
"Y'know…you love moi…" he said charmingly.
"Whateva…"Rogue answered giggling a bit.
"Aw come on chere…Y'know you do…" he continued smiling at her.
"In yahr dreams Cajun…"
"Then dis Cajun will have good dreams tonight…" They both got quiet again as the sun slowly went down.
"Rogue…je…" Rogue looked up at him but before he could continue speaking the speaker come on.
"Will Gambit please come into the danger room…you're 10 minutes late…" Cyclops annoyed voice boomed all over the mansion, Remy smirked.
"Have to finish this later…desole mon Cherie but one eye calls." Before he left he cupped Rogue's cheek and passionately kissed her, Rogue moaned as his lips left hers. She watched him walk towards the door, before he left he winked and bowed then disappeared from sight.
/In a stranger's arms/
Rogue looked back down and found Betts in Warren's arms, as if knowing she was being watched Betts looked up and locked eyes with Rogue, her smile vanished. She told warren something and walked away from him…she walked inside. Rogue watched this with a bit on confusion...but she wouldn't be confused for long.
Betts walked onto the roof minutes later to find the fearless leader of the MoE watching everything below. She made a sound to let Rogue know she was there…but knew that Rogue already knew she was there…she knew she was going to see her. Betsy walked to the rail where Rogue was sitting and let her elbows rest on it.
"Hey luv."
"Hey."
"Feeling nervous? The day is getting closer and closer…"
"Ah know…" As rogue said this a breeze went by making both shiver. "So…yah've been having fun?" Rogue asked looking back down at the ground.
/This is home/
"Yea…guess they aren't so bad after you spend sometime with them," Betts mumbled. Rogue nodded and kept looking at the sky…the sun had been up minutes ago but now everything was growing dark and the wind was getting strong.
"It's gonna be a beautiful day…" Rogue mumbled more to herself then Elisabeth.
"What is?"
"It's gonna rain…" Betts looked up at the sky.
"Uh I don't know it looks pretty clear…"
"No…not today…it's going to rain…that day…"
"…oh…how is that good?"
"Ah dunno…just fits the atmosphere. Anyway yah know Wanda and Lex are gonna like this too…they love the rain…"
/This is home
Home/
"You all do…" Betts commented looking away from Rogue, Rogue turned to look at the purple haired Asian.
"Last time ah checked…yah liked the rain also…"
/home/
"I did…but I've found that there is a lot more to do when the sun's shining…" Rogue knew they were no longer talking about the weather as Betts kept looking down at the X-men who started to retreat inside, she stayed quiet.
Elisabeth sighed, "I've um…been talking to Prof. Xavier…"
"Ah figured that…" Rogue answered dryly.
"And Emma too…you already know what I'm trying to say…don't you," Betts said sadly.
/Home/
"It doesn't take a telepath…"
"Rogue…Marie…I don't know why…it calls to me…this place…I…" Betts tried explaining what she was feeling but found no helping words, and looking at Rogue's expressionless face didn't help her.
/I'm going crazy A little every day /
"After what happened with sinister…being in this place…for the first I feel safe and no remorse towards normal people…"
"…" Rogue didn't say anything nor did she turn too look at Psylocke.
/And everything I wanted/
Betts sighed heavier this time; "Rogue…I'm joining the X-men after this is over with…"
"…"
"Aren't you going to say anything to me?"
"…"
"Alright…you know where to find me if you need me…luv…" Betts replied slowly walking away from Rogue. She reached the door and looked at Rogue's back, with one last glance and sigh she walked inside.
Rogue turned around to catch a last glimpse as Psylocke started walking down the stairs…she started at the door for about five minutes…then turned back to the sky, which had turned darker in minutes.
/Is now driving me away/
OoOoOoOo A little later OoOoOoOo
Wanda walked onto the roof and found Rogue sitting in the position Elisabeth had described. She slowly walked towards her green-eyed gothic friend. Footsteps followed hers and as she reached one side of Rogue, Lexa had found herself on the other side.
/I woke this morning/
"She…just finished telling us…" Wanda mumbled as Rogue stared off into the sky.
"Are you going to let her leave…just like that?" Lexa asked looking at Rogue's face for any sudden expression that may give her the answer. Rogue turned sharply to look at her.
"Ya…I'm just gonna let her go…like that…"
"But…but…how…" Lexa started stuttering.
"Easy…she came to meh told meh she was gonna be an X-men and left…"
"And…your Ok with this?" Wanda asked.
"What does it matter what I think…or what any of you think…" Rogue said and looked at X-23 who looked in a state between being pissed and sad. "Elisabeth is a big girl…the oldest of us…she knows what she's doing."
"Why?" Lex asked a little heartbroken.
/To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions/
"Cause sometimes…you just gotta let go…" Rogue answered and turned back to the sky. Wanda sighed and looked up too, in a way hoping it was a dream, but then thinking it would be better this way…if it made Betts happy…and cause in the end that's what they wanted for each other…wasn't it? Lexa looked at the two MoE members left…and she said two because Betts had hinted that Emma wasn't going to be with them much longer…where one telepath goes…the other follows.
She looked towards the door where she knew Betts was standing, listening to everything that was just said. She gave Lexa a weak smile that wasn't returned. Without any expression X-23 turned away from her and looked up at the sky…the three Goths mind was on the battle…on their boys…and on the fact that they had just lost two of the people closest to them.
Betts watched the three…it broke her heart that she had actually decided to leave the Ministry of Evil…she bit her lip so no tears would flow down her cheeks. She felt a hand on her shoulders and turned to see Warren. She shut her eyes tightly and opened them no more tears threatening to come out
'No…I'm making the right choice…but…who says I'm not part of the MoE now?' as she questioned herself with this she gave warren a small smile and walked towards the rail. She leaned on it next to Wanda and looked up like the others.
'I'm sorry…' she told them telepathically.
'We know' were the three answers in response and not another word was said between them that night.
/And it's tearing yours apart…/
OoOoOoOo Friday OoOoOoOo
The day was dark and the sprinkling started to get stronger. Jean and Cyclops looked outside the window in the rec room where many of the others were…everyone was tense. As they were about to turn away from the window they saw something up in the sky…a figure…Apocalypse.
"It is time…" Strom said from behind the two young adults. As she said this lightening bolts surrounded the mansion. The lights went out and more lighting bolts appeared.
"Betts and Lex…I want you two to stay close to Wanda at all times…make sure she doesn't get hurt," Rogue whispered to the two as she put on a black hood over her face, both Goths nodded.
"Well here goes nothing," Nightcrawler mumbled as all of them started moving outside. When they got there the only person they saw was Apocalypse, then there was a pitch black moment and one of Storm's lightening bolt hit right in front of the mansion gates…showing unwanted intruders. They appeared as if out of thin air.
The X-men, Acolyte, and BoM were on one side, Sinister's alliance on the other. Sinister suddenly appeared and he smirked evilly at them all.
"How thoughtful you goodie two shoes…came to greet your guest…we thank you even though we'll probably have to kill you all to get what we came for," he spoke to them as the nasty boys chuckled at what he had said. Vertigo smirked and looked at Gambit…'hmmm he must feel lonely now that Roguey's gone' she thought to herself.
"Don be too sure we're de one's that are gonna get hurt homme," Gambit said taking his deck of cards out.
"Do you really think you'll be able to beat us when one of my groups was able to do it to you very easily?" he asked cockily.
"Well it's gonna be different now mate…cause you see we have a secret weapon," Pyro replied and as he did the mutants in the middle parted letting five cloaked figures walk through in a straight line and stand before all of them spreading out.
"Really…amuse us…" Sinister said with an evil smirk. As he said this one of the cloak figures started rising into the sky. A hand was visible and it grabbed the cloak…with a pull the cloak ripped off the person's body to show Rogue with narrowed eyes staring down at them.
/I drank your poison coz you told me its wine/
Sinister's eyes widened before threw a glare at a terror struck vertigo.
"Is this amusing enough…Sinister?" rogue asked from the sky. As she did he faced the other cloak figures. One of them started ripping the cloak from the inside as it ripped blue and black were seen, soon enough X-23's head was visible and the first thing she did was stare down Vertigo.
/Shame on you if you fooled me once/
"What's wrong Vertigo…you weren't expecting us?" she asked the blond girl whose eyes seemed like they would pop out.
/Shame on me if you fooled me twice/
"Funny how things turn out…huh mate?" Psylocke asked as she pulled her cloak off.
/I didn't know the price/
"Life is full of twist and turns so all I have to say to you all is…Surprise," White Queen said appearing from under one of the cloaks with an evil smirk to rival the one Sinister had before.
"You're secret weapon has now become ours…" magneto voice was heard as he pulled himself up into the air a few feet behind Rogue.
Sinister glared at them all, "I created you…and I'll easily destroy you…" he growled as Juggernaut slowly started walking towards them.
/You'll get yours eventually/
"Don't be too sure…" Scarlet Witch's said as her cloak started glowing blue and it flew off to show her, as they saw her they also saw her hands were glowing dark blue and she lifted a hand towards Juggernaut. Cane stared at her waiting for her attack…which never came. Rogue had seen the distraction and before he could see her coming she flew towards him and kicked him straight on his helmet. Juggernaut flew and crashed into the mansion gates, as this happened member of the X-men that could either float or fly rose into the air. Half the members of Sinister's group looked at Juggernaut as he forced himself up, the others kept their eye on their enemies.
/So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?/
Sinister kept his eyes on Rogue as she glared at him in return too.
"And so it begins…" she mouthed to him as a vile smirk appeared on her face as well on the other MoE members.
/You'll get yours; yes you'll get yours
Eventually/

OoOoOoOo Chapter 15 OoOoOoOo
John burst through the door getting the attention of all his teammates, they were all in the rec room and it was around this time at night that they were truly alone since the X-men had curfew (hehehe). Pietro looked up at his fire-loving friend who went over to where he was sitting and slumped down next to the quick boy.
"What up mon ami?" Remy asked watching John brush a hand on his face. Pietro and lance looked at the Pyromaniac as Blob and toad ignored and continued playing a video game.
John sighed and looked at Pietro, Pietro perked an eyebrow at him.
"Scarlet Witch is pregnant…" he replied hesitantly, Pietro's eyes looked like they were going to bulge out.
"WHAT? Who the hell…" Pietro yelled and started rambling while pacing around the room. Lance looked a bit shock by the news and watched his silver haired buddy with a bit of amusement. Remy who was shocked looked at John and then at Pietro…someone was gonna get yelled at soon.
"Whoa…when are you gonna tell de boss…or speedy for dat matter?" he asked in a low voice so only John could hear.
"I dunno mate…I'm gonna be a daddy me…a dad," John answered flabbergasted.
"Oui I know what you mean…you still a kid and now you gonna have one…what you tell de witch?" John stayed quiet and looked down giving Remy the wrong idea.
"You didn't tell 'er to get rid of it right?" he asked at his friend's silence.
"What…course not," he yelled getting everyone to look at his outburst. Pietro finally stopped pacing and ran to face John.
"How do you know this?"
"The shelia told me," John said stating the obvious.
Pietro was about to ask him another question when he stopped and studied the young Australians face. "Why would she tell…" he started slowly and stopped to look at Gambit who was looking at him with intense eyes. The room got quiet and even Fred and Todd stopped playing around.
"YOU…I'll KILL you," Pietro said grabbing a hold of John's neck realizing what his silence and Gambit's gaze meant. They fought a bit while Lance and Remy looked at them and Toad and blob went back to their game.
"You think we should stop them?" Lance asked.
Remy looked at his watch, "Non…jus a bit more," he mumbled and turned to look at the fighting mutants. Five minutes later Lance asked again, Remy shook his head and got in between the mutants pulling John back as Lance held on to the mad Quicksilver.
"Let me at him let me at him," Pietro shouted while John stuck his tongue out at him.
"Okay that's enough…stop," Lance yelled and the earth started to shake a bit.
"Oui…you both grown adults 'ere…now sit down and let's talk about this like civilized people," Remy added sitting John on the opposite couch from where Pietro was sitting.
"We're civilized?" Lance asked confused, Remy thought about it before answering.
"Well...not really but we either act like we are or we let dese two kill one another." All four mutants became quiet and sat on the couches with Pyro and quicksilver glaring at each other.
"Okay…so lets talk," Remy said hoping that one would speak, finally after five minutes of uncomfortable silence Pietro spoke.
"When? How? Why?" he asked angrily while glaring at the redhead.
"Dunno…one minute we were fighting the next minute we were fuc…"
"DON'T say that word when we're talking about MY SISTER," Pietro yelled not wanting to get the idea in his head. Everything got quiet again and Remy and Lance kept looking from one young Mutant to the other wondering who was going to say something.
"Do you even care about her?" Pietro asked glaring at John.
John looked up at Pietro and slowly answered, "Yea…I wouldn't 'ave done what I did if I 'adn't…and I bet I care about 'er as much as you care for the blue haired one…" Pietro's eyes softened at that.
Quicksilver studied John who looked pretty serious, the fact that Wanda wasn't stupid enough to just sleep with anyone came into his head. She wouldn't have done it…if she didn't want to. He sighed completing his thoughts and looked at the redhead.
"If you hurt h…" he started.
"I'd hurt myself before I hurt 'er." John spoke before Pietro could finish his sentence. Pietro nodded and both just stared at each other in mutual understanding.
"So…we all cool?" Remy asked. Both mutants nodded.
"Shake on it," Lance spoke up and got weird look from his friends. "What?" he asked.
"You spending too much time with de chat mon ami," Remy replied.
"Yea…before you know it he'll want us to give each other group hugs when one of us 'as to leave the room," John teased. Pietro smirked at Lance while John laughed hysterically and Remy chuckled, then he spoke again.
"What did you tell her when she told you?" Pietro asked curiously. John looked at him and answered…
OoOoOoOo Flashback OoOoOoOo
"John…I'm Pregnant."
"What?" John asked stupidly.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Are you deaf…I said I'm pregnant," she almost yelled at him but calmed herself.
John looked at Wanda's face and slowly turned to look at her stomach which was hidden behind a big red sweater. Without warning he lifted it up along with her red tank top and looked at her bare tummy. It looked no different then when he had seen her naked but he ran a finger on her smooth skin noticing that her tummy was getting a bit hard. Of course it was hard with the muscle she had but this kind of hard was different from the first time he held her bare waist.
Wanda watched his movements wondering what was going on in his little brain (hehehe). She looked down at his head as his head looked up and theirs eyes met.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled breaking Wanda's heart. 'He doesn't want it' were the words going through her head but then she was interrupted by him.
"You probably didn't want this to happen…well at least not this early in life," he added with a small smile. She looked down at him confused but then got any doubts out of her head as she felt his fingers gently running circles around her pierced belly button.
"You're gonna keep that thing in there?" he asked playing with it.
She looked at him like he was stupid, "What do you think?"
He smiled sheepishly then turned serious again as he looked into her eyes.
"So…what are we gonna do?" he asked.
"I…I don't know…" she said looking a bit lost.
"Well I do know something…"
"What's that?"
"That we're gonna go through this together…" John whispered causing Wanda to give a small smile, she then felt John lightly kiss her stomach and his knees dropped to the ground as he rested his head on her lap sideways. Wanda started running a hand through his spiked hair and both stayed quiet wondering what the future hold for them…together.
'I didn't ask for this…I didn't want this now…but…now that I think about it…I wouldn't have it happening any other way' Wanda thought looking at her redheaded angel. They stayed quiet for a while until…
"You know…there's NO way yur gonna fight in that battle against Sinister."
"What…what do you mean I can't fight in the big battle…I AM going and I'm gonna kick ass."
"Nuh uh…yur not going anywhere in yur condition."
"And who's gonna stop me… you?" Wanda asked glaring as John looked up at her. They argued back and forth from then on.
OoOoOoOo End Flashback OoOoOoOo
"And that's what happened," John finished. Blob wiped a tear off his eye with the Kleenex Colossus gave him, next to him Todd who was crying too…but not because he thought it was beautiful but because he thought it was horrible.
"Wow…so when are you gonna propose?" Lance asked.
"What? Let's take it slow mate I just found out I'm gonna be a father lets not rush things too much," John answered turning as white as a sheet.
"Oui mon ami…let the garcon take dings one step at a time," Remy said chuckling at the pyromaniac.
"Well I guess we can't stop whatever happens," Pietro said a little more calmed down and letting the fact he was going to be an uncle sink in. "I just have one question…when are you gonna tell my dad?" He asked smirking. Lance and Remy looked at John who looked like he rather die then go up to the boss and say "I knocked up your daughter boss" they laughed at the image in their head while Pietro still smirked and John stood as still as a dead man.
OoOoOoOo MoE OoOoOoOo
Rogue walked into her room to find Wanda lying on her bed looking at the ceiling.
"How it go?" she asked as Wanda looked at her.
"Good…I guess."
"What do yah mean yah guess…what did he say."
"He said he'd be there for all of it…he also tried to get me out of the battle with sinister but like I'm gonna miss that."
"Maybe yah should," Rogue whispered looking at her.
"What?" Wand asked surprised.
"Well yahr gonna be a month now…are yah sure yah want to put it in danger?" While in the middle of the question X-23 walked in back in her regular pj's.
"Who's in danger?" she asked.
"I'm asking Wanda if she wants to put the baby in danger by battling."
"Ooh good thing to talk about…you know I read that the babies are the weakest in the womb during the first trimester," Lexa said sounding really smart getting a curious look from Wanda and rogue.
"What?" she asked.
"You read?" Rogue said sound skeptical.
"Ha ha ha ha" Lex answered dryly then both turned to look at the Goth on the bed.
"Look guys…thanks for the concern but don't forget who I am. Knowing me as well as you do I would have thought you would know nothing will stop me from being there…I'm not a piece of glass you know."
"We know…it's just…" Rogue started.
"I know…" Wanda answered looking at them both. The three stayed quiet.
"Where's Betts?" Wanda asked.
"She wanted to stay longer with Emma who will get her own room tomorrow." Rogue answered. "She's say's hi though," Wanda nodded.
"So what about you guys…have you've spent all this time with white Queen?"
"Hmph…Lexa didn't even go…she was too busy entertaining you're brother dear…" Rogue answered smirking at the youngest girl.
Lexa rolled her eyes, "Like you weren't off in some redeye demons arms," she said knowingly while Rogue's smirk left her face. Wanda perked an eyebrow at them.
"Something I should know about?" she asked.
"NO…" both answered looking at each other.
"Whatever…I don't have the energy to drag it out of you," Wanda answered closing her eyes.
"Ah guess we should start getting ready to sleep…" Rogue said staring at Starlet Witch's Peaceful face.
"Yea…especially since we didn't get any yesterday…I'm so tired I might just drop dead right here right now…" Lexa answered getting ready to lie on the bed.
"Well ah suggest yah go to your own and get some relaxing rest…we have a long week ahead of us." X-23 all of a sudden got Goosebumps on her arms.
"Yea…but hopefully it won't be our last," she whispered eerily making Wanda open her eyes.
"Lex…go get some sleep and get the bullshit out of your head…" she answered as she re closed her eyes.
"Yeah…we'll beat Sinister at his little game…I can guarantee that," Rogue answered mysteriously while looking out of her balcony window making herself look as if she could see miles away. Lexa looked at both of them before going into her own deep thoughts.
"Yea…you're probably right…well…'night," she said walking towards the door and opening it to let herself out. As she was about to close the door she poked her head through.
"Don't let the Aussies and Cajuns bite…"
"Hardy har har…" Rogue replied dryly as Wanda shouted, "LAME!" Lexa smirked and left the room, after hearing the door from across their room close Wanda spoke.
"What are you planning?"
"What do yah mean?"
"You guaranteed Sinister's plan isn't going to work…why are you so confident?"
"Cause we were the toughest bitches on his team," she answered while getting into her bed.
"I know you better than that you know…" Wanda answered unconvinced.
"Ah know…" Rogue answered and then they both shut up and quickly fell asleep getting the much-needed sleep.
OoOoOoOo Wednesday (4 days later) OoOoOoOo
Lexa was in the danger room kicking major ass…she was concentrating so hard she failed she had two people staring at her. As she slammed her fist and feet into the robotic Vertigo her thoughts were focused on hitting the robot so hard that it would break…she was hoping that she'd get a chance to do this to the real bitch…and in two days, she might get her wish.
The past couple of days had gone by faster than expected, the X-mansion was chaotic. People were running around like crazy all the time, everyone got up at 5 in the morning and everyone was scheduled individual training as well as group training to have everyone feel comfortable with each other and their fighting techniques. The adults ran the individual sessions…and unfortunately for X-23 the person who watched her train and helped was the person she wishes would drop dead. Actually all the girls were getting trained by the adults they liked the least…it was as if Xavier planned to get everyone on good terms…too bad no one told him the half the MoE members knew how to hold a grudge. Rogue had finished her training under the watchful eye of mystique after Scarlet Witch had beat the crap out of a Magneto look a like Robot as magneto watched her, and now there was X-23 jumping around trying to avoid the hit's the robot Vertigo was throwing at her listening to Wolverine as he instructed her. X-23 rolled her eyes at him as he heard him say that she shouldn't relay on her claws too much when she popped them out and thanked the heavens that soon it was going to be Betts turn with Ms. Perfect. As she looked at him she noticed the other person watching her…Quicksilver. She gave him a confused glance before dodging a kick from Robo-vertigo.
Wolverine watched as the machine hit X-23 after a couple of dodges and look at Pietro since it was obvious he was the reason for the distraction. He watched as Pietro's face was wincing when Lexa got hit straight in the gut and she fell to the ground. Logan went back to facing his young genetic copy who had gotten up and was looking a little more than pissed off.
"What exactly are you doing here?" he asked Quicksilver as his eyes followed Lexa's form through the simulation.
"Nothing really…just came to watch if X-23 is really as tough as she thinks when she fighting at her best," he answered.
"You're good at lying…too bad I can smell a lie a mile away…"
"What gave me away?" Pietro asked not denying the fact that he was sorta lying.
"The way your face cringes when she gets hurt…the way your eyes haven't left her since you've been here and…the fact her scent is all over you."
"Oh," he mumbled. As Logan was about to ask what was going on between them the simulation finished and a drenched in sweat X-23 came into the control room. She gave Pietro a puzzled look before looking at Wolverine and asking how she did. Logan looked down into her eyes which didn't hold as much hatred as the first day he met and then looked down at the danger room floor to find the vertigo look a like motionless on the floor without a head. He perked an eyebrow up at her.
"Since you left her headless I'm gonna say you did fine…over all progress it seems that you have actually gotten stronger."
"Good…" X-23 answered and looked at the broken robot with a wicked gleam in her eye. Pietro and Logan saw this and looked at each other then turned back to her. As if noting their discomfort at her evilness slipping out she turned to them with a 'what?' look making them quickly face somewhere else. Lexa forced herself not to roll her eyes...'you'd think they realize that just cause we're living here doesn't mean we'll change…at least not a lot' she told herself.
"Are we done?" she asked a bit annoyed.
"Yup…that's it for you today…er actually that's it for your individualsessions…looks like there won't be any tomorrow cause there is going to be a big team session including the adults. Lexa nodded and walked out the room being reluctantly followed by the speed demon. Logan watched them go and wondered what Magneto though about this new development…he probably didn't know since it seemed he didn't even know that his daughter was expecting a mini Pyro. Logan rolled his eyes and stared at the door to the control room seeing as Storm walked in.
"Something wrong Logan?"
"Nah…just thinking how wild things are getting," he answered the weather witch.
"Yes I know what you mean…there is a lot of tension around here now that we're so close."
"So you have a session right now?"
"Yes…" as she answered two people walked into the room. Storm looked at them and smiled.
"Right on time Mr. Alvers…kitty what are you doing her?"
"Oh I like came to cheer lance on…" she answered sweetly while blushing a bit.
"How thoughtful," storm answered nodding at lance to go down and start. As lance passed Logan he made a little snarling sound.
"Logan" Ororo said in a scolding voice. Lance passed and got down, as he looked up at the control room Kitty smiled and waved to him, he gave a sweet smile back at her. Logan rolled his eyes and got a glare from Storm making him give her a questioning look. She rolled her eyes at him, kitty watched them thinking they were acting like teenagers, she held in a chuckle and looked back down to her rock tumbler as he got started.
OoOoOoOo Locker Room OoOoOoOo
"So what was the honor of your visit?" Lexa asked as Pietro walked with her to the girls' locker room.
"What I can't come and make sure you don't get hurt?" he asked in mock anger. She rolled her eyes.
"You know you only came to see me in these tight clothes and in those hard to get into positions," she answered looking at him cockily.
"You know me to well," he answered smirking. She shook her head. "What? It's just…very interesting to see you bend the way you do…you're very flexi…you know that can be very handy soon," he said suggestively. Lexa chuckled as she felt his hand wrap around her waist.
"You wish," she responded to the comment.
"Bad answer…cause my wishes have been coming true all this week," he whispered into her ear while giving it small nibbles. She shivered as they stopped in front of the locker room door.
"Whatever," she said with a small smile. "Well I'm gonna take a shower so I'll talk to you later," she said trying to get out of his arms only to be pulled into him tighter. She felt his hot breath on her ear making her smile widened.
"How bout I join you?" he asked seductively. She pulled her self out of his arms and gave a smile before opening the door and started waking in.
"Awww…I can't even watch?" he asked moping as the door shut, he looked at it for a minute and when he was about to leave the door reopened and a hand dragged him inside.
"Had to make sure no one was in here," Lexa whispered as she pinned him to a wall and then started making out with him.
After they broke apart for breath Pietro asked, "So does this mean I get to watch…or join?" he asked with glazed eyes.
"Which ever one you want…" she answered walking away from him and starting one of the showers, the water fell down on her getting her all wet; he slowly walked towards her already knowing his decision.
OoOoOoOo Kitchen OoOoOoOo
"So how do you feel today?"
"I'm fine John sheesh you don't have to act like my doctor…that's what beast is here for," Wanda answered annoyed.
/I made a promise Said it everyday/
"Aw is my shelia feeling grumpy today?" John asked his voice sounding like if he was talking to a baby receiving a glare from his beloved. "Come on Wanda lighten up…anyway it's my job as the father and boyfriend to worry," he said giving his pouting girl a kiss on the forehead. "I know what will make you feel better!" he said going to the refrigerator and taking out what she had been craving for a while…strawberry ice cream.
"You sux…" she said glaring at him.
"I know…but you love me anyway," he answered smiling at her and handling a spoon to her, soon both were digging in not saying much. Suddenly a though popped in to John's head.
"Ahhh shelia…" he yelled scaring her.
"What?"
"That day at the club…did you drink an alcoholic drink?" he asked worriedly.
"Uh…yeah…so?" Wand answered looking puzzled.
"Don't you know what this means? Our baby might come out with problems because you drank while you are pregnant," he answered pacing around.
"Uh John…it was only one drink and anyway Mr. McCoy said everything was fine when I saw him this morning."
"Whoo..." he answered sitting down in the chair next to him putting a hand on his chest as if he had gotten a miner heart attack.
"So what do you think we should name the little tyke?"
"Uh…first I'd like to find out what the little 'tyke' is gonna be," she answered still eating her ice cream.
After a while of silence Wanda spoke up, "John…I think its time."
"YOU'RE HAVING THE BABY?"
Wanda looked at him as if he were an idiot, " Does it look like I'm going to have it now?" she asked annoyed pointing to her petite stomach.
"Oh…so what's it time for then?" he asked sitting down.
"I think it's time to tell magneto…"
"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY SHEILA? He'll kill us both," he yelled looking around to see if he was anywhere nearby.
"Are you seriously telling me that you're scared of him?"
"Duh…you should be too…" he answered looking around paranoid.
"Please I can take care of my father with one hand tied behind my back …" she replied getting up and going to the door.
"Where you going?" he asked.
"To tell him and your coming with…" she answered dragging him behind her with her power.
"No I don't wanna die…I'm too young," John shouted as she took him pass the rec room.
"Oh shut up and stop worrying for now…first I got to get my camera."
"Camera? What for?"
"So I can take a picture of his reaction…I wouldn't miss it for the world." she smiled wickedly.
"AHHH your gonna get us killed." John shouted as everyone in the room heard them as they passed by.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Lance had just gotten out of the shower since he's his DR session was over and was walking down the hall. He heard Pyro's cry for help for a second but ignored thinking the crazy Aussie was playing some kind of game. He continued walking and passed a lot of the junior recruits. He saw Ray and Jubilee shoving each other playfully while in front of them was Amara and Roberto holding hands, in her other hand was a single white rose. Lance perked an eyebrow… ' Amara and Roberto? When did this happen?' he asked himself but asked a different questioning out loud.
"Hey do you guys know where Kitty's at?" he asked them.
"Hmm…yeah we just left her alone in the rec room," Jubilee answered as Ray threw some of her hair up into her face. Jubilee looked at him annoyed and Amara and Roberto kept walking looking at each other not even noticing him.
"I think she said she was calling home…" Ray added to Lance's answer and got smacked in the back of the head by Jubilee who then ran past Lance to get away. Ray soon went after as Lance watched the four turn the corner, he rolled his eyes, "Kids" he mumbled and went in search for his pretty kitty. When he walked into the room he noticed that Kitty was on the phone and a couple of tears were running down her cheek, he immediately got worried and walked to her. Kitty saw him and gave him a weak smile that made him stop.
"Yeah Mom everything's going like totally fine…just ignore that bad feeling you're getting."
"No Mom I'm not lying," she answered the question through her teeth."
"Um…I'm not sure if I can make it next week…I'll like have to call you back and let you know after the weekend," she answered trying to keep her voice steady.
"Ok…like bye mom…I love you tell dad I said hi and that I love him too…bye."
She hung up the phone and that's when Lance continued his stroll to her. When he got to her he crouched down to her level and cupped her chin with one of his hands.
"You're too pretty to be crying kit…" he told her as he rubbed his thumb were tears had stained her face. She gave him a small smile.
"Why are you crying anyway?" he asked confused.
"I like not sure…guess all this has finally gotten to me…you I never really lied to my parents before."
"What part of that was a lie?"
"Isn't it like obvious? I told them everything was totally fine…does it look like everything is totally fine?" she asked him and looked through the window, he turned to look too and found that a lot of the mutants from different teams were outside fighting with each other trying to get stronger.
"You didn't lie to them…you should have told them you would be able to go next week…" he said not looking at her but as he said this she looked at him.
"No…because in order to tell them that we'd be saying that we're gonna win the battle," she said surprising him by losing the valley girl accent for a whole sentence. He looked down at her.
"We are going to win the battle…we don't know if anyone is going to die but we are going to win…and if anyone dies I can honestly tell you that you're going to be one of the survivors," he said confidently.
"Like how do you know?" Kitty asked staring deep into his brown orbs.
/Now I'm reading romance novels/
"Cause I'll be there next to you to make sure nothing happens to you…" he answered and looked away feeling a little shy, Kitty smile widened at this.
"Lance…that's is like totally sweet," she squealed and put her arms around his neck. "You know what you're like totally right," she said as their eyes were connecting again. "We are going to make it through this…together. And you know what? After this is all over…I want you to come with me…"
"Where?" he asked confused.
"Like duh to Illinois so you can like go see my parents and you can meet them."
"Uh…we've met…and I don't think it's a good idea…don't you remember I tried to kill all of you first time we met?"
"So…you tried killing me and I love you…" she answered and turned scarlet at the fact she had just admitted she loved him. Lance looked down at her shocked…she loved him? Kitty's head went down as she looked at her feet.
"Well…I guess maybe there's still hope that I may win them over," Kitty looked up after hearing him say this. When she looked at him she noticed he was leaning in towards her. Their lips touched for a moment and they he pulled away just a little since she could feel his breath on her lips.
"I love you too…Katherine Pyrde…" after he whispered this onto her lips the kisses again, this time it was more then a gentle kiss on the lips, their tongues were intertwining as their passion unleashed. Both with the same thought in their head…they had to survive…they would survive…for they had a future ahead of them…a future…together.
/And I'm dreaming of yesterday /
OoOoOoOo Xavier's office OoOoOoOo
"YOU'RE WHAT?" Magneto yelled out.
OoOoOoOo locker room OoOoOoOo
"Did you hear that?" X-23 asked Pietro who was pressed up against her as she leaned on the wall. Pietro stopped butterfly kissing her neck and collarbone. Both looked up at the ceiling as the water fell on them.
"Must have been the wind…"
"Pietro…we're not outside," she said in a 'your stupid' tone.
/This is home/
"Right…well who cares it probably wasn't important…" he answered and continued what he had stopped. Lexa kept looking at the ceiling with a confused look; she finally shrugged and enjoyed the felling of Pietro's lips and the water on her naked form.
/ Home/
OoOoOoOo Xavier's office OoOoOoOo
"I SAID I'm pregnant with John's baby," Wanda yelled back at her father while John coward behind her.
"YOU…you took my sweet little baby's innocence?" Magneto asked breathily while glaring at Pyro. By this time a lot of metal objects were flying around and Wanda was hexing them out of John's way.
"Uh…Magneto…boss…do you really think she's THAT innocent?" John asked as he hand pointed at Wanda's face like he was advertising her. Wanda rolled her eyes at both men while Eric growled. He was going to say something else to them but the door to the bathroom of Xavier's office opened to show a messy haired and dressed Mystique. Everyone started at each other in awkward silence at being caught in such a position.
"Uhhhhh…" Mystique said racking her brain for something to say.
"We…can explain…" Magneto replied as John's mouth hung wide open.
/And this is home
Home/
"Ew don't…well it seems we caught you in a bad time…so bye. We just wanted to let you know we are having a baby so you better give John some time off and…well I think that's it…John lets go," Wanda said walking out the door being closely followed by Pyro.
"Wait a minute we aren't done here!" Eric yelled after them.
"Whatever Magneto…I'm an adult so I can do whatever I want…anyway you never really cared about me before so do me a favor and don't start now…" Wanda yelled over her should her walked out, John did to but then poked his head into the room.
"Boss…you dog…" he smirked and almost got hit by a metal candlestick.
"'Ey what's that for? Anyway make sure you mates use a…" another candlestick flew his way and this one actually hit.
"Ow…just warning you…don wanna end up like…" a stapler flew towards John.
"I'm leaving I'm leaving…" John shouted as he ran to catch up to his girlfriend avoiding any more things thrown at him. As he reached Wanda he put his arms around her waist.
"Well…that was interesting…wasn't it luv?" he asked nuzzling her cheek.
"More like creepy…" she answered as they walked down the hall enjoying being in the pyromaniac's arms.
/This is home/
OoOoOoOo The roof (sometime later) OoOoOoOo
/I'd like to see the Riviera
And slow dance underneath the stars/
Rogue was sitting alone one the ceiling rail looking down at all the things happening down on the ground. There were no MoE members but one training with the rest of the X-men…but it didn't surprise her since it had been going on all week. Wanda, Lexa and herself would train with each other only if they were doing a team session unless it was a mandatory "All Mutants" session run by Prof. Xavier, sometimes they also included the guys but it wasn't a lot. Her emerald eyes followed all of Psylocke's movements…from when they had barley began the session and she successfully dodged everything thrown to her to the end where she was laughing and smiling at them all, especially Angel. She felt his presence before she heard him whisper into her ear.
"Dey be rumors…y'know."
"Ah know…" she answered not bothering to look at the handsome Cajun.
"Y'believe 'em cheri?" Remy asked putting his hands on her should and slowly dragging them down until he found her hands and hold both of them. Rogue leaned back into him her neck in the crook of his as she looked up at the sky…sunset was close.
/I'd like to watch the sun come up/
"Ah dunno…ah dunno anything right know…things will happen as the world wants them to happen…"
"Non…things will happen as people make choices…dere decisions will have an effect…mais if it does happen what will you do?"
"Nothing…there is nothing ah can do…"
Remy kissed her forehead as they kept looking down; he broke the silence after a while.
"You say y'don know anything…mais you do know something…" Rogue looked up to face him.
"And what would that be swamp rat?" she asked with a perked eyebrow.
"Y'know…you love moi…" he said charmingly.
"Whateva…"Rogue answered giggling a bit.
"Aw come on chere…Y'know you do…" he continued smiling at her.
"In yahr dreams Cajun…"
"Then dis Cajun will have good dreams tonight…" They both got quiet again as the sun slowly went down.
"Rogue…je…" Rogue looked up at him but before he could continue speaking the speaker come on.
"Will Gambit please come into the danger room…you're 10 minutes late…" Cyclops annoyed voice boomed all over the mansion, Remy smirked.
"Have to finish this later…desole mon Cherie but one eye calls." Before he left he cupped Rogue's cheek and passionately kissed her, Rogue moaned as his lips left hers. She watched him walk towards the door, before he left he winked and bowed then disappeared from sight.
/In a stranger's arms/
Rogue looked back down and found Betts in Warren's arms, as if knowing she was being watched Betts looked up and locked eyes with Rogue, her smile vanished. She told warren something and walked away from him…she walked inside. Rogue watched this with a bit on confusion...but she wouldn't be confused for long.
Betts walked onto the roof minutes later to find the fearless leader of the MoE watching everything below. She made a sound to let Rogue know she was there…but knew that Rogue already knew she was there…she knew she was going to see her. Betsy walked to the rail where Rogue was sitting and let her elbows rest on it.
"Hey luv."
"Hey."
"Feeling nervous? The day is getting closer and closer…"
"Ah know…" As rogue said this a breeze went by making both shiver. "So…yah've been having fun?" Rogue asked looking back down at the ground.
/This is home/
"Yea…guess they aren't so bad after you spend sometime with them," Betts mumbled. Rogue nodded and kept looking at the sky…the sun had been up minutes ago but now everything was growing dark and the wind was getting strong.
"It's gonna be a beautiful day…" Rogue mumbled more to herself then Elisabeth.
"What is?"
"It's gonna rain…" Betts looked up at the sky.
"Uh I don't know it looks pretty clear…"
"No…not today…it's going to rain…that day…"
"…oh…how is that good?"
"Ah dunno…just fits the atmosphere. Anyway yah know Wanda and Lex are gonna like this too…they love the rain…"
/This is home
Home/
"You all do…" Betts commented looking away from Rogue, Rogue turned to look at the purple haired Asian.
"Last time ah checked…yah liked the rain also…"
/home/
"I did…but I've found that there is a lot more to do when the sun's shining…" Rogue knew they were no longer talking about the weather as Betts kept looking down at the X-men who started to retreat inside, she stayed quiet.
Elisabeth sighed, "I've um…been talking to Prof. Xavier…"
"Ah figured that…" Rogue answered dryly.
"And Emma too…you already know what I'm trying to say…don't you," Betts said sadly.
/Home/
"It doesn't take a telepath…"
"Rogue…Marie…I don't know why…it calls to me…this place…I…" Betts tried explaining what she was feeling but found no helping words, and looking at Rogue's expressionless face didn't help her.
/I'm going crazy A little every day /
"After what happened with sinister…being in this place…for the first I feel safe and no remorse towards normal people…"
"…" Rogue didn't say anything nor did she turn too look at Psylocke.
/And everything I wanted/
Betts sighed heavier this time; "Rogue…I'm joining the X-men after this is over with…"
"…"
"Aren't you going to say anything to me?"
"…"
"Alright…you know where to find me if you need me…luv…" Betts replied slowly walking away from Rogue. She reached the door and looked at Rogue's back, with one last glance and sigh she walked inside.
Rogue turned around to catch a last glimpse as Psylocke started walking down the stairs…she started at the door for about five minutes…then turned back to the sky, which had turned darker in minutes.
/Is now driving me away/
OoOoOoOo A little later OoOoOoOo
Wanda walked onto the roof and found Rogue sitting in the position Elisabeth had described. She slowly walked towards her green-eyed gothic friend. Footsteps followed hers and as she reached one side of Rogue, Lexa had found herself on the other side.
/I woke this morning/
"She…just finished telling us…" Wanda mumbled as Rogue stared off into the sky.
"Are you going to let her leave…just like that?" Lexa asked looking at Rogue's face for any sudden expression that may give her the answer. Rogue turned sharply to look at her.
"Ya…I'm just gonna let her go…like that…"
"But…but…how…" Lexa started stuttering.
"Easy…she came to meh told meh she was gonna be an X-men and left…"
"And…your Ok with this?" Wanda asked.
"What does it matter what I think…or what any of you think…" Rogue said and looked at X-23 who looked in a state between being pissed and sad. "Elisabeth is a big girl…the oldest of us…she knows what she's doing."
"Why?" Lex asked a little heartbroken.
/To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions/
"Cause sometimes…you just gotta let go…" Rogue answered and turned back to the sky. Wanda sighed and looked up too, in a way hoping it was a dream, but then thinking it would be better this way…if it made Betts happy…and cause in the end that's what they wanted for each other…wasn't it? Lexa looked at the two MoE members left…and she said two because Betts had hinted that Emma wasn't going to be with them much longer…where one telepath goes…the other follows.
She looked towards the door where she knew Betts was standing, listening to everything that was just said. She gave Lexa a weak smile that wasn't returned. Without any expression X-23 turned away from her and looked up at the sky…the three Goths mind was on the battle…on their boys…and on the fact that they had just lost two of the people closest to them.
Betts watched the three…it broke her heart that she had actually decided to leave the Ministry of Evil…she bit her lip so no tears would flow down her cheeks. She felt a hand on her shoulders and turned to see Warren. She shut her eyes tightly and opened them no more tears threatening to come out
'No…I'm making the right choice…but…who says I'm not part of the MoE now?' as she questioned herself with this she gave warren a small smile and walked towards the rail. She leaned on it next to Wanda and looked up like the others.
'I'm sorry…' she told them telepathically.
'We know' were the three answers in response and not another word was said between them that night.
/And it's tearing yours apart…/
OoOoOoOo Friday OoOoOoOo
The day was dark and the sprinkling started to get stronger. Jean and Cyclops looked outside the window in the rec room where many of the others were…everyone was tense. As they were about to turn away from the window they saw something up in the sky…a figure…Apocalypse.
"It is time…" Strom said from behind the two young adults. As she said this lightening bolts surrounded the mansion. The lights went out and more lighting bolts appeared.
"Betts and Lex…I want you two to stay close to Wanda at all times…make sure she doesn't get hurt," Rogue whispered to the two as she put on a black hood over her face, both Goths nodded.
"Well here goes nothing," Nightcrawler mumbled as all of them started moving outside. When they got there the only person they saw was Apocalypse, then there was a pitch black moment and one of Storm's lightening bolt hit right in front of the mansion gates…showing unwanted intruders. They appeared as if out of thin air.
The X-men, Acolyte, and BoM were on one side, Sinister's alliance on the other. Sinister suddenly appeared and he smirked evilly at them all.
"How thoughtful you goodie two shoes…came to greet your guest…we thank you even though we'll probably have to kill you all to get what we came for," he spoke to them as the nasty boys chuckled at what he had said. Vertigo smirked and looked at Gambit…'hmmm he must feel lonely now that Roguey's gone' she thought to herself.
"Don be too sure we're de one's that are gonna get hurt homme," Gambit said taking his deck of cards out.
"Do you really think you'll be able to beat us when one of my groups was able to do it to you very easily?" he asked cockily.
"Well it's gonna be different now mate…cause you see we have a secret weapon," Pyro replied and as he did the mutants in the middle parted letting five cloaked figures walk through in a straight line and stand before all of them spreading out.
"Really…amuse us…" Sinister said with an evil smirk. As he said this one of the cloak figures started rising into the sky. A hand was visible and it grabbed the cloak…with a pull the cloak ripped off the person's body to show Rogue with narrowed eyes staring down at them.
/I drank your poison coz you told me its wine/
Sinister's eyes widened before threw a glare at a terror struck vertigo.
"Is this amusing enough…Sinister?" rogue asked from the sky. As she did he faced the other cloak figures. One of them started ripping the cloak from the inside as it ripped blue and black were seen, soon enough X-23's head was visible and the first thing she did was stare down Vertigo.
/Shame on you if you fooled me once/
"What's wrong Vertigo…you weren't expecting us?" she asked the blond girl whose eyes seemed like they would pop out.
/Shame on me if you fooled me twice/
"Funny how things turn out…huh mate?" Psylocke asked as she pulled her cloak off.
/I didn't know the price/
"Life is full of twist and turns so all I have to say to you all is…Surprise," White Queen said appearing from under one of the cloaks with an evil smirk to rival the one Sinister had before.
"You're secret weapon has now become ours…" magneto voice was heard as he pulled himself up into the air a few feet behind Rogue.
Sinister glared at them all, "I created you…and I'll easily destroy you…" he growled as Juggernaut slowly started walking towards them.
/You'll get yours eventually/
"Don't be too sure…" Scarlet Witch's said as her cloak started glowing blue and it flew off to show her, as they saw her they also saw her hands were glowing dark blue and she lifted a hand towards Juggernaut. Cane stared at her waiting for her attack…which never came. Rogue had seen the distraction and before he could see her coming she flew towards him and kicked him straight on his helmet. Juggernaut flew and crashed into the mansion gates, as this happened member of the X-men that could either float or fly rose into the air. Half the members of Sinister's group looked at Juggernaut as he forced himself up, the others kept their eye on their enemies.
/So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?/
Sinister kept his eyes on Rogue as she glared at him in return too.
"And so it begins…" she mouthed to him as a vile smirk appeared on her face as well on the other MoE members.
/You'll get yours; yes you'll get yours
Eventually/
