Chapter four -
'Damn, she's hot' was all that came to mind as Pietro checked out the girl he had run into from head to foot, then back up to her face. He saw her grinning and he snapped out of his gaze just in time to hear her say something.
"Whoops…sorry about that," she told him never losing the smirk on her face.
"Oh…it's ok," he answered gaining a smirk himself. He watched as she walked past him and hurriedly turned to see her back. "Hey…" he called out to her making her stop right in her tracks…
"Yeah?" she asked turning her face over her shoulder.
"Uh…are you new around here?" he asked. "I mean...I've never seen you around and stuff…" he asked trying to make it sound casual as he started walking up to her.
She smiled at him, "You can say that…I'm not new but I guess you can say my dad's been hiding me from the public," she answered and gazed at the boys that had been staring at her.
Pietro smiled also and said, "Well I'm not surprised…he' probably scared someone will find you and take you away."
"You think so? That's okay…I'm not really easy to take away…and plus…I bite," she commented grinning.
Pietro smirked at the naughty image she had just given him. "I'm Pietro Maximoff," he told her stretching his hand out to her. Lexa looked at carefully but soon put hers in his.
"Lexa Creed…"
"Lexa…that's a weird name…"
"Funny I could say the same about you…Pietro…" she countered making him chuckle.
"It's weird…but I never said it wasn't beautiful," he replied charmingly. "it defiantly fits you," he added.
"My aren't you quite the charmer…" she commented smirking at his game.
"Only to the ones I find interesting," he replied making her smirk get wider. She liked this guy…he was quick and slick. "So where you heading?" he asked her.
"To get something to eat…some friends are probably waiting."
"Oh…friend eh? As in a boyfriend maybe?" he asked.
She smirked at the fact that he wasn't being very secretive about trying to find out if she was single. "No…actually it's someone's who like my sister and her boyfriend…I'm the third wheel," she joked.
"Is that a way of trying to tell me your single?" he asked.
"Maybe…why would you like to know?" she asked smiling.
"You know…"
"No I don't…mind telling me?" she teased knowing very well why he asked.
Pietro smirked at her. 'Finally…a change from the easy hoes around here,' he thought to himself as he watched the new girl play hard to get. "I'll tell you why I wanna know…if you allow me to go with you and keep you company while your buying your food," he answered wanting to talk to her a bit more.
Lexa made it look like she was thinking about it, after about a minute of silence that was almost killing Pietro she smiled and answered, "Why not."
She then started walking towards the store, Pietro looked at her walk away admiring the view, she stopped and looked back at him with a confused look saying 'what are you waiting for?' Pietro smirked and slowly followed not wanting to make it look like he was pretty excited about it. When he reached her he passed her and let her be the one to catch up with her.
Lexa rolled her eyes when he did this, 'Human boys…they're dorks and very weak…but…this is one…just happens to be a very, very cute one,' she told herself and caught up to him, then they both started another conversation.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Wanda leaned on the car looking foe Lexa as John put the supplies they had bought in the trunk. When he was done he walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"What's wrong luv?" he asked her.
"I told her 10 and she goes off and thinks it's be nice to go ahead and get an extra 10," she growled.
"Aw let her…she's young, beautiful, single…maybe she's looking for a guy to satisfy her needs?"
"I would be okay with that if we were at the camp…here we're just surrounded by humans…why would she want to entertain herself with one of those?"
John shrugged, "Maybe she just got really hungry and she's pigging out," he offered.
"Whatever," if she's not back here in five we're leaving without her," Wand replied grumpily while John just smiled and slowly started giving her kisses on the cheek. For that moment while his lips were on her skin Wanda forgot all about the fact she was pissed at her friend for not following directions.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
Lexa laughed as Pietro walked along side her, they were walking back to the parking lot.
"You know I was suppose to leave with the people I came with like 15 minutes ago," she told him, "I wouldn't be surprised if they left without me."
"If they did I could always give you a ride," he told her. Lexa stopped smiling at him, she had barley met this guy and yeah she though he was hot and yeah she'd like to get to know him but he was a complete stranger, telling him where she lived wouldn't be smart. Not to mention her dad would kill her if he knew she was even talking to a human boy, he of course thought that if you're going to be with someone it had to be someone of their kind.
"That's sweet…but then again knowing her, she's being distracted by John who's probably stalling so I'd get my butt over there," she replied and stopped walking as she saw that the car was in fact there.
"Oh…too bad…I guess this is where we…yeah," he told her looking around.
"Yeah…" she answered and turned to walk away.
"Wait…" he told her making her turn to him. She then watched as he took a small piece of paper out and a pen from his back pocket and started scribbling on it. He finished and walked up to her and gave it to her. Lexa opened it and saw seven digits on it, she smirked and looked up at him with a perked eyebrow.
"I would have asked for yours but since we barley met I thought it might be inappropriate," he told her with a charming smile.
She crumbled the paper and held it in her fist as he watched a bit surprised, then he watched as she took the pen away from him and grabbed his wrist. As he held his hand and started scribbling something on it he couldn't help but notice how soft her skin was. She finished and let his hand go, Pietro looked down and looked at a seven digit number then looked back up to her while she smirked.
"Call me but make sure it's not to late like at 2 in the morning. I get grumpy when I don't get my beauty sleep," she told him winking.
"Like you even need it," he replied in a flirty voice. She gave a small chuckled and turned away from him walking towards Wanda and John. As she was getting farther away Lexa looked at the crumbled piece of paper and whispered to herself, "I'll keep this…just in case…" an put it in her pocket.
Pietro watched her as she got smaller and the distance between them got larger. To say he was smitten would be an understatement. "Lexa Creed…" he whispered to himself knowing he'd remember that name. He then looked at his hand which held her phone number and smirked, this had been a good day…with that thought in mind he started walking towards his car ready to leave.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
"So whatcha think 'bout de tour cheri?" Remy asked after he had shown Rogue all around.
"Fihane Ah guess but tha people need ta learn ta be a lil nicer," she answered looking around.
Remy gave a small smiled at this, "Don worry chere, does girls can' touch y' while y' avec moi," Remy answered knowing she was talking about his fan club.
"Actually Cajun they wouldn't be able ta touch meh even if yah weren't here," she answered letting him know she could handle herself.
"Really…y' good at fighting?"
"Ah don't know…yah wanna try meh?" she asked him making him smirk.
"Is dat a challenge?"
"Mahbe it is…mahbe it isn't…take it however yah want ta," she told him making his grin widened.
"Oui Remy definitely tinks dat was a challenge," he told her smiling down at her. "So chere tell moi de time and place and Remy'll be dere…"
"Whenever yah want Swampy…Ah'll be ready for yah," she answered smiling back, she however stopped smiling when she heard…
"ROGUE!"
She turned to see Jack stamping his way over to her and not looking very happy. "Oh no…" she mumbled rolling her eyes.
"Quoi?" Remy asked.
"Nothing…it's just mah big brother bout ta go all protective on yah ass…" she answered making it sound like it was nothing.
"Oh…should Remy be worried chere?"
"Mahbe…lets see how yah do against an angry older brothah…if yah can't handle him…ya'll nevah be at mah level," she responded and watched as Jack walked closer to them. 'Oh well…better Jack then dad' Rogue thought to herself preparing herself for what ever may come.
Jack finally reached them, coming to a stop in front of them. Just before he had reached them Remy put his arm around Rogue's waist, pulling her closer to him. She had given little struggle, sensing what he was trying to do and knowing that if anything happened, he would be the one to get his ass kicked.
"What tha hell do yah think yah doin?" Jack asked Remy, giving him a cold glare that was, if possible, colder than Rogue's own 'death glare'. He had been the one who taught her how to perfect the glare.
"Who? Moi?" Remy asked with mock confusion.
"Yes yah. Get yer filthy hands off mah sister." Jack growled.
"Nah, Remy's hands be jus' fine where dey at now." Remy gave Jack one of his 'Devil may care' grins as Rogue shook her head. 'There is nothing' possibly more stupid ta say ta mah brother.' Rogue thought.
"Remove yer hands now and step away from mah sister." Jack said slowly, each word dripping with venom.
"Qui? Dey jus' gonn' be on 'er later." Remy said without thinking. Rogue's eyes widened. 'Proved meh wrong. What a dumb ass, but at least he's a hot dumb ass.'
Jack growled and lunged at Remy, tackling him to the ground. Jack started punching Remy, and Remy did the same, while both tried to block the other's hits. Right when Remy had pushed Jack off of him with the help of his trusty Bo-staff, only to be charged at once they were both standing, Wanda's car pulled up. Wanda, Lexa and John got out of the car and just stood there starring at the two males fighting when Wanda looked to Rogue who was just standing there shaking her head.
"Over protective brother act?" Wanda asked her.
Rogue nodded.
"Should we stop them?"
"Nah, they'll get tired…eventually." Rogue said back. Wanda rolled her eyes and looked to John.
"Go break it up." Wanda told her boyfriend.
"Nuh-uh." John said shaking his head.
"Who else is going to? And besides Jack's your friend." Wanda said pointedly.
"I don't care, have you seen what Jack's done to mates who try to break up his fights?" John said but it had no effect, Wanda was already pushing him towards the still fighting males. John sighed and looked for an opening where he could stop this. He saw it, Jack was moving back from Remy who was on the ground and Jack was just about to jump at him. John quickly lunged into Jack who was in mid-jump and they both went tumbling to the ground.
"What'd yah think yer doin'?" Jack asked glaring at his friend.
"Well someone had to stop yuh before you two killed each other." John said as he stood up and offered jack a hand. Jack took the hand and got up turning his glare towards Remy who was already standing up and leaning on his Bo-staff. Jack growled something not understandable towards Remy and walked off, ignoring his bruises and cuts.
Rogue sighed and turned to Remy. "Yah should lean when ta stop while yah ahead." And with that she started jogging to catch up with her brother, hopefully she could knock some sense into him.
"Remy de one in pain and everybody be blamin' him fo' everythin'. Even 'ere Remy get no respect!" Remy said grumpily.
"I'm sure you did something worthy of getting your ass kicked by an over-protective brother who has the same patience as his father. You do know who their father is right?" Lexa said.
"Non, tell me who is de man who's daughter is tres belle?" Remy asked. Lexa, Wanda and John's eyes all widened at this. Everyone knew who Logan was, didn't they?
"You mean to tell me that you don't know who Logan is?" Wanda asked.
"Non, who is de homme?"
"He's Victor's brother--"
"Half brother luv." John interrupted.
"Right. He's Victor's half brother and is just as fierce as him. You do not want to get on his bad side. And he's even more protective of Rogue then Jack is since she's his only daughter." Wanda told him.
"Ever heard of the Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Mammoth?" Lexa asked suddenly.
"O' course Remy heard of dem, every werewolf know's 'bout dem, dey be de homes dat fought and killed de army of Humanity. Pourquoi?"
"Then I'm guessing that you know that Victor is Sabertooth?"
"Oui."
"Wolverine is Logan and Mammoth is, was, their brother Gregory."
"Merde."
"Exactly." Lexa said as she went to the car to grab some bags before she headed inside.
"Good luck with 'wooing' Rogue mate, you'll need it." John said as he too grabbed some bags and followed Lexa in.
"Just remember that Jack and Logan won't be the only ones you'll have to worry about if you hurt her." and with that Wanda shut the trunk and walked away with the last bags in her arms.
OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo
"Jack c'mon, tell meh whats wrong." Rogue said as she power walked behind her brother to keep up with him.
"Nothin's wrong. Why are yah still following' meh?" Jack said somewhat angrily, though none of the anger was directed to Rogue.
"Liah. How come yah get so over protective now? Yah never used to be like this. Ah mean yeah, yah would threaten any guy that tried ta ask meh out but yah would never try ta kick his ass right when yah met them." Rogue said, trying to figure out what made this so different from the other times.
"It's different now." was all Jack said as he stopped and stood still, his back still facing his sister.
"Why?"
"Because we lost mom, because we lost uncle Greg and tha pack, because Ah almost lost mah sister and my father. We're in a different place now Rogue, a different pack. Sure we might visited this place as kids all tha time but we don't know tha area as well as we did back in Mississippi. We don't know tha threats here nor tha humans. How are we supposed to know that those damn huntas aren't here too just waitin' ta make their move?" Jack said, his voice full of pent up emotions.
"Jack…" Rogue trailed off as Jack started talking again this time facing her as he looked her in the eye.
"Ah just don't want at lose yah or dad. I'm just watching out for yah, and until he can show meh that Ah can trust him Ah'm gonna keep doin' this "protective brother" thing."
"Can yah at least try not at beat tha crap outta him? Ah mean we heal fast but yah still hurt him bad."
"Not my fault Ah'm tha better fighter and won." Jack said smirking.
Rogue just rolled her eyes at him.
"Ah'll try." Jack said with a slight smile. Jack then gave Rogue a slight push in the direction that they had come from.
"Go get some of tha others and see if they wanna run tonight. It's almost full moon and Ah'm just itchin' at change." Rogue's ears perked up slightly and her eyes lit up. She loved to run and she too and been itching to change.
"Ah'll race yah back." Rogue said and she took off in the direction towards the cabins.
OoOoOoOo Later that night OoOoOoOo
"Who's all going?" Lexa asked Rogue who was asking her if she wanted to come running that night.
"Meh, Jack, Wanda, John, Rahne, Remy, Jubs and some Russian guy." Rogue answered back.
"Okay, count me in. When are we going?"
"Riaght--"Rogue was cut off as another voice started speaking.
"Ah, Rogue so nice to see you again, I hope I'm not interrupting something.." a voice called out to them. Rogue and Lexa turned around and came face to face with Hank McCoy.
"Hey Mista McCoy, nah we were just goin' out for a run." Rogue answered him as she gave him a hug.
"Oh they didn't tell you? There is a pack meeting in a couple of minutes, I was sent out here to look for the rest of the pack."
"Damn." Lexa said and then slapped her hand over her mouth as she realized that she just cursed in front of the most respected pack member.
Hank gave a short laugh. "It's okay my dear, I realized that young people curse, who wouldn't growing up with Creeds and Howletts all around?" Hank joked. It was a well known fact that Victor and Logan didn't have the cleanest language around.
"Now if you two would be so kind as to help me find the others I would be most grateful."
"Sure we know where they are. Are we meeting in the clearing or inside?" Lexa asked.
"The clearing."
"Okay we'll meet ya'll there." Rogue said as she and Lexa took off to get the others and inform them of the meeting.
