A.N: sorry it took so long I had a stupid Research paper to finish, (Author shakes fist at Research paper that decided to go missing second hour and didn't show up till five min.s before it was due giving Dream Sprite a heart Attack.) any how, on with the story.
Ch.7- That night when the moon was green.
The Acolytes were taken back to the institute and were being fixed up by Beast in the med lab. Logan was sitting on a nearby desk, his arms cross and his face set in a scowl.
"Alright I want some answers, who were those people and why did they take the girls?"
Remy kept his eyes on the floor as Beast began swabbing a large gash across his arm with disinfectant.
"We do not work with them if that is what you are asking."
Piotr answered as he adjusted the sling that Beast insisted he wear for his sprained shoulder.
"Yea, we were just taking our Sheila's out for the night, we didn't mean for anything to happen...honest."
John had been the luckiest and only suffered a few scratches on his face and a slightly bruised rib.
"Ah know who dey were."
Everyone turned their attention to Remy.
"They call themselves the Hellfire Club, a wile back, before Ah joined wit da Acolytes Ah pulled a job on dem for a friend of mine."
"What did you do to them?"
Logan asked, not sure he wanted a reply
"Ah snuck in, stole some files, planted a few bombs, da usual stuff."
Logan opened his mouth to reply when the sound of metal being twisted alerted them to Magnetos arrival.
"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?"
Magneto barged into the med bay and his eyes focused on John.
"Aw crap!"
Pyro rolled off the table and hid behind it as Magneto threw everything that was metal him. Before Magneto could do any real damage the professor entered and tried to reason with the master of metal.
"Eric, please calm down."
"How can I do that Charles when the Hellfire Club has my daughter!?"
"What makes you think that?"
"I found this nailed to the front door of my base."
Magneto pulled a piece of paper out of his cloak and handed it to the professor who in turn read it aloud.
Magneto
We have Scarlet Witch, Rogue and Shadow Cat. Tell Pyro, Gambit, and Colossus to come to the Inner Circle in three days with the Gambit stole from us and a few other items that are listed below. If you do not meet our demands the girls will be killed and their bodies will be left for you to find.
Yours truly
The Hell fire Club
"That doesn't explain why you are attacking Pyro and not Gambit."
The professor stated as he looked up from the letter. Magneto reached into his cloak again and pulled out a video tape.
"I was going threw the security tapes and I came across this."
He handed the tape to Beast who then popped it into the VCR.
The Tape--
Wanda was sitting at the kitchen table reading a magazine, John came in and kissed her on the cheek as he passed by on his way to the fridge. He sat down across from her at the table and drank the soda he had gotten. They stared at each other for a moment and then in a blink of an eye Wanda and John was laying on the table with Wanda on top of him. She ripped the button down shirt he was wearing open as he unbuttoned her red vest.
Real life--
Before the video could get too steamy a metal chair was sent threw the TV screen effectively ending the broadcast. The room was silent as everyone stared at Pyro. Gambit was the first to break the silence.
"On da kitchen table?" We eat at dat table!"
"Sorry mate, I just sorta happened."
John ducked as a paper clip that had taken the shape of an arrow was shot at him. As he hid behind the bed again the Professor wheeled himself in between John and Magneto.
"Eric, how about we find Wanda and the others first, then you can go after John."
Magneto let or a soft growl and sat himself down on a nearby table. While he and the professor made plans the three Acolytes were trying to sneak away unnoticed. However with Logan around nothing went unnoticed.
"Where do you three think you're going?"
The three looked at each other not sure what to say.
"Uh, would you believe out for some fresh air and den to get some computer chips from NASA?" (one of the items on the list)
"No Gumbo, I don't"
"To bad mate cuse that's where we're go' in."
John started to walk out the door but he was pulled back by his shirt collar.
"Wrong answer Bub."
"Den where do you suppose we go?"
Gambit demanded, pulling John back to where he and Piotr stood.
A sadistic smile spread on Logan's face.
"You three ever heard of the Danger Room?"
They all took a step back and looked at each other. Remy pulled out a deck of cards from one of the many pockets in his coat and began shuffling them behind his back.
"Do you boys remember dat night, when da moon was green?"
"Da."
"Yea mate. And we counted down from 3..."
John pulled our his lighter and lit it, forming a fire ball in his hand.
"2"
Said Piotr as the metal armor came out of his skin.
"1"
Remy said as he charged up the entire deck. He and Pyro proceeded to throw the charged cards and fire ball at the wall behind them. Piotr then ran through the weakened wall with the other Acolytes following close behind. The three made their way out of the mansion stopping across the road behind a storage shed.
"Who would have thought dat the 'get ready to make a break for it' code would actually come in handy one day?"
"Da, I was sure you two were far too drunk that night to remember what it was."
They started to laugh at the memory of coming up with codes wile under the influence of beer. Once they finished laughing they looked at the letter Remy had taken from the Professor.
"After da chips we need ta hack into some banks and transfer a lot of money into their private account in Switzerland. Den we move some cargo from a ship dat's coming in tomorrow into a warehouse, pick up some precious gems from the Tiffany Vaults in New York, have everything done by midnight Thursday."
"Sounds simple enough mates."
"Da."
With that they began planning ways to collect both the items on the list and the girls who had captured there hearts.
AT THE HELLFIRE CLUB----
Rogue slowly opened her eyes. As she pushed herself up into a sitting position she looked around the prison like cell she was in and saw that she wasn't alone.
"Kitty? Wanda? What's going on?"
"Like I don't know, last thing I remember was kneeling over Piotr then it all went black."
The sound of heals clicking against stone alerted them to the presence of their captor. A woman appeared, she was dressed in a white suit and had long blonde hair, her face was hidden by the shadows.
"Hello. My name is Emma Frost, or the White Queen."
"What do you want with us?"
Wanda demanded, she too had woken up and was now glaring at the woman.
"It's simple really, my associates and I are holding you captive so that Magneto's Acolytes will have no choice but to meet out demands if they ever want to see you three alive again."
A guard appeared at the White Queen's side.
"Miss, your presence is requested in the ball room."
"Thank you, tell them I'll be there shortly."
The man left and Frost began to leave herself but stopped.
"Don't even try to escape. The collars on your necks block your powers and even if you somehow manage to get out of this cell we will be able to track you."
With that she left and the girls were again alone in the cell. The three moved to the fare side the cell across from the bars and leaned against the wall. Kitty rested her head against Wanda's shoulder, a worried look on her face.
"I hope the guys are ok."
"Don't worry Kit' they're the Acolytes for a reason."
Kitty took some comfort in Wanda's words and soon she fell asleep. Rogue and Wanda discussed the possibility of escape but they both knew their chances were slim to none.
About an hour later they too fell asleep.
