Destined To Be
'Lovers' Quarrel
(Remy)
My mind is numb. It won't work. Merde! How could she? After all... How could she do this?
I clear my face and put the mask on once more. I nearly lost myself when I tossed ma chere her shirt; nearly screaming: WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!?!
After all, it was obvious. Who wouldn't know what they were doing?
I walked with them out of the portal and froze when I saw a girl that looked remarkably like Rogue.
I heard Rogue gasp and call out from behind me. "Faith?"
(Warren)
I froze, looking from Rogue to 'Faith' and back again.
"Okay... Anyone else confused?"
Gambit raised his hand. "You ain't alone mon ami."
"I'm her half-sister. Anyway, Rogue, the fuzzy blue rat is back that way," I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb before continuing. "He kinda got in my way and I didn't want to have to go through our initial Convo again so I drained 'im. All I have to say is, he forgives ya. Now go wake him up before one of the others kill him."
Rogue nodded, sending an apologetic look at Warren she ran down the hall.
I stood there, looking at the both of them. I was in black leather pants and a black leather top, which showed a bit more of my cleavage then it would it if I were wearing a bikini top, and heeled black boots.
"So..."
I almost hit myself when I realized what I said. Then I immediately made up for it by turning to the Cajun and asking, "Is there any more of you or is you and blue boy the only ones?"
He smiled, trying to charm me; it wasn't working, "Just us. But then again a belle femme like you is all the reward Remy LeBeau needs."
I rolled my eyes, sighing as I place a hand on my hip. "Oh and my sis is a bonus?"
He seemed at lost for words for a second and I liked him that way. But he had to go and ruin it by opening his big fat ugly mouth. "Now Fai-"
In a nanosecond my Sais were against his neck. "Finish that sentence and you won't be able to wear a hat. Got me?"
He grinned and nodded.
I rolled my eyes once again, putting the blades away. I looked around us and sighed. "Come on before someone tries to kill you... Oh wait. You," She pointed at Gambit before continuing sarcastically. "Wait here."
He gave me a look before turning around; hearing a noise behind him.
A cheetah stood there; ready to pounce. He looked like he'd die of fright for a second before getting into battle stance.
Sighing I walked forward and pushed him back. Standing before her I gave her a disapproving look.
"Now Ashley. I'm disappointed. These guys are fine, or else they'd be dead already. Now go get your 'bloody' boy-toy and tell him to meet up with the rest of the gang and me in the Conference Room."
After I finished speaking she just sat there, looking at me. I raised an eyebrow. "Well are you going or not?"
She stayed there looking behind me, at Gambit.
"Ohh..." I continued. "You want to fight. Well how about me and you have a go?"
Then she moved; to get as far away from me as possible. She ran down the hall to get her 'boy-toy'.
I turned and looked to the boys behind me. "Well are we gonna go or not?"
They nodded and followed me down the opposite corridor.
(Warren)
I couldn't help but sneaking peaks at this Faith. She looked so much like Rogue, and yet she was completely different. I caught myself staring in an inappropriate area once and immediately pulled my eyes away.
Unfortunately, I had been caught. She gave me one of the girly smiles and batted her eyes at me. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." (A/N: 1)
Knowing that she was being sarcastic and that I had feelings for Rogue. I shook my head and turned my eyes away from her again.
This time, I didn't look back.
(Rogue)
Half An Hour Later
Everyone was gathered in the Conference Room. I sighed and looked around. I had just met Alec, AKA Blood Reaver, and Electra, AKA Spark, along with Kenz, AKA Advance, and Jeffery, AKA Toner. My gaze locked with Gambit's and for a moment I saw his rage, it made me shiver and look away.
I closed my eyes and spoke softly, "So could we start dis thang with someone tellin' me whay I'm here?"
Everyone of Faith's little group looked down, except for Faith herself.
"Because you're the only one that could stop him. They thought it was me at first but I don't have the last qualification. So I was told to bring you here to see if you did."
"Stop who chere?"
"Apocalypse."
There was a hushed silence, disturbed only by a few whispers.
"Wha… What?"
"Look sis, Apocalypse, if he is resurrected; which I think he will be, is going to be more powerful then any mutant here except for the two of us. Hell Boss was afraid of him 'til a few months ago. Anyway, the person that stopped him in the past was our ancestor: Behl. She was his…" She stopped for a moment before spitting out the first word in 'obvious' disgust.
" Mistress. He hit her though, every now and then. So finally she got tired of him and told his priests to seal him into the machine. They feared her more than Apocalypse, so they obeyed her. Though they couldn't seal him completely, which is where she came in. 'She walked forward, towards his malevolent tomb and placed her bleeding hand upon the lock and sealed it with her life blood.' She died to stop him." Faith stopped there, we could tell the story was not yet completely told but we knew that if we asked, Faith would glare at us, hurt us, or worse, and we can't deal with that right now.
She looked away and sat on the edge of the table before leaping atop it and standing on it.
"So dey want Chere to stop him?"
"Yes Remy, they want Rogue to stop him."
"Excuse me," Warren stated softly. "But if this… 'Behl' had to die to stop him then doesn't that mean..."
He trailed off when Faith shot him a glare that would make Apocalypse himself tremble.
She didn't answer him, so we all knew the answer.
"What's de last qualification?"
Gambit's question brought me out of my shock.
Faith looked down at him and frowned before answering.
(Faith)
" ' The new one will come, She who has faced evil with many faces, triumphed over powers weilded by no others. She will face her mother and be taken into the Tomb of the Great Evil. She who has chosen death over life shall give the death kiss to the evil one and they shall fall into darkness. Her loved ones shall save her if she takes from them what she will need to sustain life. Yet if true love is not found she who is darker then her light will die.'"
I stopped there, looking them over.
They looked confused.
"I have no mother." I stated simply. "But from what I hear… You do."
Rogue nodded weakly, "She's not mah real mom but I guess she might count."
I sighed, "M—Sister, I am sorry to bring this upon you."
"Ah—Ah haveta... To save… Ah haveta..."
I nodded weakly, cursing my emotions as my eyes slowly filled with tears. Her accent always got worse when she was upset or close to crying.
I looked down, unable to face her; I walked from the room slowly.
I ignored their stunned faces and went to my own chambers, once there...
I did the thing I haven't done since I was a child,
I wept.
(No POV)
Rogue stood there in shock, her mouth opening and closing like a fish until it snapped shut and she ran from the room, ran down the halls getting lost and not caring.
Everyone in the room was still in shock and reacted to slowly to stop her.
None of the Cythyons had heard of the prophecy, they just knew of her being the one.
Still in shock, no one noticed Remy LeBeau, Master Thief, slip from the room.
(Remy)
Ma poor Chere. She was so upset I hope I find her before she does somethin' stupid... Non, Ma Chere wouldn't do that... would she?
I followed the evidence of her passing until I stopped in front of the room with wide berth to find Rogue sittin' on a long metal table in what looked like a Hospital Wing.
I sighed softly and walked up behind her.
"Wa—Oh." She had started to turn towards me with a lighter expression when once she saw it was me, it darkened.
I stiffened at the mention of his name, the earlier events coming back to me.
I snapped.
"What?!? Expecting your 'boy-toy' to come and comfort and you'd accept it but when you see me you don't want help?!?! What am I second-best?!?!"
Her eyes widened at me, and if I wasn't so upset I would've apologized.
" You DARE say that! YOU DARE T'INK THAT AH WOULD SELL MAHSELF OFF TO HIM LIKE THAT?!?! WHAY SHOULD YO' GIVE A DAMN ANYWAY?!?! AREN'T YOU THE KING OF HEARTS?! SHOULDN'T YOU BE OFF WITH SOME GIRL OR STALKIN' MAH SISTAH?!?! DON'T YOU EVEN THINK THAT AH WOULD DO SOMETHIN' SO LOW!"
I winced, then whispered, deadly calm.
"You're right chere. Why should I care? After I all I'm just de one dat came all de way here de second I knew where you were just because I happened to hear you were taken. Why should I care dat I've been thinkin' of all de horrible dings dat could've happened ta you, while you were layin' on yo' bed screwin' some guy. Why should I care huh? BECAUSE I GIVE A DAMN!!"
She winced and had the decency to look away, ashamed.
"You act like I'm any different to you then all those other girls you look at, you know the ones... dey have the poles and dey take off deir clothes while dancin' aroun' 'em."
I winced, "You may think badly of yourself chere, but dat dun mean everyone else does."
I turned and walked out, I was half way down the hall when I heard running footsteps rapidly approaching me, I turned swiftly and braced myself for a beating... but I got the opposite then what I ever expected.
She threw herself in my arms and kissed me thoroughly on the mouth.
Not to say it wasn't a good surprise, I kissed her back, softly, gently so as not to scare her away, and then I realized...
She had just had an emotional fit... She just learned that it was her or de world. So whom else would she throw herself at other than the closest one near her, especially after he admits that he cares?
I pushed her away roughly, causing her to fall on her butt.
"Sorry chere," I hissed, "Remy dun take leftovers."
With that I turned and walked down the hall, I didn't look back. I was scared that If I did, If I turned, I would have went back and given her what she wanted, so I just kept walking, hoping that I would make it out of the hall without turning... and I did.
A/N:
1.) Warren is ahead in the poles so hince the staring and oogling. Besides she looks like Rogue and he never saw her in such clothes before, he got thoroughly turned on!
MAN THAT TOOK A WHILE!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry to EVERYONE that waited so long for that!!
Man I must've gotten 30 death threats before I finished it!
::Whistles:: There was this REALLY inventive one with a ceiling fan and being hung by my toes while being smothered in pink… ::shudder:: That one scared the crap outta me so I started writing it, then I stopped for a while and JUST now I say, ' hey didn't I write that chapter... OH CRAP I DIDN'T FINISH IT!'
LMAO!
I'm up at 3am finishing this story for you guys so that I'm not pink for the rest of my life, hoping that my step-brother is really sleeping.
::grin::
So how'd you like it? I know I promised that Rogue would hit 'em but I didn't think that would've fit in with the chapter so maybe later she'll kick his ass... I don't know.
