Pietro Maximoff was just standing there telling Evan and Forge all about
the Black Pearl, when all three of them heard Rogue plunge into the water.
"Well-aren't-you-guys-going-to-save-her," Quicksilver questioned, speaking
now in his regular voice.
"I can't swim man." Evan said in a shocked voice.
The speed demon turned his head to glance at the other. But Forge just shook his head and that was signal that he could not swim. /Great... Just Great. / Pietro thought as he took off all of his gear. "Don't lose this X- Geek," he said shoving all of his belongings into Evan's arms.
Turning around he dived into the water, and propelled himself like a torpedo towards the girl, but she was still at the bottom by the time he reached her. With his speed he began to pull her to the surface, but the weight of the dress was slowing him down. He ripped off the dress and continued up to the surface. As he reached the docks, Evan and Forge help him put Rogue on the deck.
"Not breathing," Forge worried as he starred at Wolverine's Daughter worrying as heck.
"Out of the way then," He shouted at the guard grabbing the knife along the way. The guards starred in terror as they watched him straddle her and hold the knife above her chest. Their terror subsided as Quicksilver cut through the cords of the corset, and handed the remains to Forge.
Almost immediately Rogue began to cough, and Pietro jumped out of the way. Even though he would love to still be on the woman as she jerked up when she started coughing, he had reason to suspect that he might be a pirate after all.
"I never would have thought of that," He heard Evan say as he watched Rogue. Quickly he diverted his glance to stare at him.
"Clearly you've never been to Myanmar" Pietro turned his gaze back to Rogue and noticed the gold medallion hanging around her neck. "Where-did-you-get- that?" He talked fast, but she understood his words. He didn't get a chance to hear the answer, because as soon as he asked the question other X-men guards, Admiral Logan Depp, and Commodore Scott Summers decided to come.
"On your feet," Scott said his new sword under the pirate's chin. Pietro proudly stood up, and looked the commodore in the eye. Wolverine pulled his daughter towards him put a black coat over her.
"Rogue, you ok kid?" He looked over his daughter to make sure that she was.
"Yes, Ah'm fahne dad." That was when Logan noticed the broken corset in Forge's hand. The scowl that had come across his face caused Forge to drop the corset and pointed at the speed demon. Logan only became more angry, and extracted both of his claws.
"Kill him." The admiral was pointing at Pietro.
"Father, Commodore... Do you really expect to kill mah rescuer?" Rogue asked.
"Well I guess a thanks is in order." Scott finally spoke and shook Quicksilver's hand. Scott grabbed the pirate's wrist and pulled the bottom of his sleeve back, revealing a patch of skin that was burnt and looked exactly like the letters that were on the medallion. "Looks like we've had a brush with the East India Morlock Company, huh? Pirate?" He lifted the sleeve a little further to reveal a silver demon looking like it was ready to run. "Let's see you must be Pietro Maximoff, son of the pirate who captains the so-called 'Black Pearl'."
"Actually it's Captian Pietro Maximoff."
"Really? I don't see your ship."
"Actually I'm in the market."
"He said he was here to commondere one sir." Forge pipped up. "These are his." He handed over all of the stuff that Pietro had shoved into his hands earlier.
Cyclops spoke as he went through the small amount of items, "Let's see, a pistol with no extra shots or powder, a compass that doesn't point north." He paused for a moment and pulled the speed demons sword part way out, reveals the unstained metal. "And I half expected it to be made out of wood." He closed the sword. "You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
"But you have heard of me." Pietro quipped, and soon regretted it, because they put the iron cuffs on him, and they also began to walk towards the prison.
As they walked, Rogue stepped between Logan, and Scott, and Pietro. "Father, Commodore, pirate or not, he saved mah lahfe." She had no idea what was going on but for some reason she was defending the lustful speed demon. But the tatooed face had caught her eye and she acted almost immediately.
"No good deed can redeem a man a lifetime of wickedness." Cyclops angerly replied.
"Hopefully enough to redeem him of death." Pietro looked hopeful as he said these words, but it didn't seem like they'd work.
It was then that the commodore made his mistake of stepping towards Rogue. She without thinking stepped backwards, and was caught when Pietro put the chain that linked his cuffs around her. The guards had raised their guns ready to shoot, and Rogue was broken free of her hypnotic state. Logan Depp was pleading with the guards to put down their weapons, until finally they did.
"I knew you'd warm up to me." He whispered in her ear. Everyone turned away in disgust as Quicksilver licked the Goth's neck. /Mmm... she tastes good./ The speed demon thought as he brought his head away. Rogue willed her powers to work, but they were instead they were doing the exact opposite. /Dang it why aren't mah powers working?/ Rogue though very confused now. Pietro then turned his head towards Cyclops. "My junkers and my hat please." When Scott didn't comply the speed demon spoke again, "Commodore!" Scott reluctantly handed them over. Quicksilver now turned his attention back to Rogue. "So it's Rogue isn't it?"
"It's Miss Depp to ya." Rogue snapped back.
"Well Miss Depp if you'll be so kind..." He smiled as he watched everyone roll there eyes in disgust. "Careful on the good stuff," he whispered.
"Bite me." Rogue frowned at him.
"Where," Pietro questioned. The question how ever earned him a hard punch in his stomache. It was a moment like this that Logan was proud of his daughter. Rogue turned back around not wanting to face the pirate any more. "Gentlamen... Lady..." Hepaused for a moment and starred at Scott. "X-geek... You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captian Pietro Maximoff." With his last words, he lifted the chain above her head and pushed her back to the gaurds. Upon doing this he sped off.
"I can't swim man." Evan said in a shocked voice.
The speed demon turned his head to glance at the other. But Forge just shook his head and that was signal that he could not swim. /Great... Just Great. / Pietro thought as he took off all of his gear. "Don't lose this X- Geek," he said shoving all of his belongings into Evan's arms.
