"Ello mate!" Remy was greeted as he walked back into the base. "Have fun last night?"
"A gentleman never kisses and tells." He replied.
"Since when have you been a gentleman Lebeau?" John continued.
"Bloody hell! Will you two shut up?" An accented voice called from the couch.
"Wisdom has a bit of a hangover." John informed Remy.
"I do not!" Wisdom called from the couch, "You two are just being bloody loud."
"Does Wisdom have a hangover from last night?" A tired looking Betsy asked as she entered the living room.
"Oui." Remy replied.
"Serves him right," Betsy continued, "I've never seen anyone drink that much." She moved from the doorway, onto the couch. Remy took the opportunity to observe her figure as she sauntered across the room.
"May Remy say dat y' look tres bon today petit." He flashed her a flirtatious smile that caused her to blush.
The cloaked girl felt her chest tighten as she neared the base that she knew her family stayed in, or at least part of it anyways. She sighed. Now is as good of a time as any she thought as she turned the doorknob.
She was surprised at the barren state of the base. From the information the professor supplied she knew that the base's occupants were largely male, with the exception of a recently admitted female. She slowly rose up the stairs pulling the hood of her cloak off. It didn't take her long to find the room she was searching for.
She entered to find it empty of all life forms. She moved slowly through the room observing everything before she finally settled at the desk near the window. She looked through the papers that were on it, lost in thought. Suddenly the door flew open.
"Who the hell are you?" A cold voice called from behind her.
"What's the matter," the cloaked girl responded, "you don't remember me?" She spun around in the chair to face the person at the door.
There was a moment of silence.
"Anna," the voice choked out, "oh my God Anna!"
Rogue sat motionless as the girl with the red and black hair rushed toward her, with tears in her eyes. Rogue had seen her sister cry before, but it had been when she was a child, when it was because Pietro was playing with her favorite toy. This, however, was something entirely different. Rogue could not tell if her sister's sobs were happy or sad, though she had a hunch it was a mixture of the two. All she knew was that her sister's tears were caused by her disappearance. And that thought disturbed her.
"Wanda," she said finally wrapping her arms around the girl, "It's alright, everything is gonna be alright."
"So how do you two like working for old buckethead?" John asked the new recruits.
"I suppose its better than who I was working for before." Pete shrugged.
"And you sheila?" John continued.
"Same here," Betsy responded, "I worked for the same people Pete did. I guess we used Eric as a way out."
"Looks like y' got somethin' in common wit all o' us." Remy muttered.
"Except for Pietro," Poitr spoke for the first time.
"Who's Pietro?" Betsy asked.
"Daddy's little boy." John said in a sarcastic tone.
"Pathetic," Remy stated.
Rogue sat on the couch in the brotherhood mansion. She was amazed at the girl sitting in front of her. It had been so long since she had last seen her sister. She was completely different. And most of that is your own fault she thought guiltily. Wanda had filled her in on the details of her family. Things had definitely gone downhill over that past five years. Rogue couldn't help but wonder if that would have happened if she had not disappeared.
"So Wanda," Rogue started trying to get her mind off the subject, "why aren't yah at school?"
"Well Raven isn't much of a warden. I don't have to do anything I don't want to do." Rogue paused. The subject she had been waiting for had finally come up.
"Why are yah here Wanda?"
"What?"
"Here of all places. Wanda yah know what that woman is capable of, what she has done."
"I know Anna…Rogue. But, after everything that happened, what Dad did to me, I just couldn't…" she trailed off.
"Ah know. What dad did tah yah was really shitty, but Ah want yah tah leave."
"What? Where would I go?"
"Anywhere yah want tah. I understand that yah don't want tah go tah Eric, but there are othah choices besides that madwoman."
"Who, Xavier?"
"He's a good man. He'll do everything he can tah help yah."
"Well it would piss dad off." They laughed
"Seriously, Wanda, please do this, for meh?"
"OK. I'll do it."
Remy sat in the living room with all of the decent residents of the base. He found himself paying more than usual attention to Betsy. She may jus be de challenge Remy's been waiting f'. All he has t' do is get her away from Worthington. Dat won be t' hard, Remy thought, After all, it won be de first time Remy's stolen a fille. Remy thoughts were interrupted, when what felt like a small earthquake shook the inhabitants of the base.
"Did you guys feel something?" Betsy asked.
"Felt like it came from outside." The mutants that occupied the living room all made for the door curious to see what had caused the disturbance.
"Bloody hell!" Pete exclaimed as they were greeted by the sight of three large robots outside the base door.
"Sentinels!" Someone yelled and they all immediately prepared to fight.
Before anything could be done, Pete was hit by one of the sentinels and immediately knocked out. Betsy and Poitr moved in to attack the closest one, causing damage wherever possible. Pyro lit up his flamethrowers, sending animal shaped flames toward the next robot. This left Remy alone to face the third and final one.
Rogue left the institute for the second time that day after dropping Wanda, along with all of her possessions, off. A wave of nausea ran through her as she moved closer to her next destination. Something was wrong, she knew it. She finally rounded a corner and approached her destination. Instantly she knew why she had been feeling uneasy.
The Acolytes had been fighting with the sentinels for thirty minutes and only Betsy and Poitr had managed to take the robot they had been fighting down. Remy Lebeau, however, was preoccupied with his own sentinel. He jumped out of the way of the large metal robot just in time to hear Betsy yell, "Remy, watch out!"
He looked up to see that the sentinel John had been fighting was about to crush his body. He had no time to move. Remy closed his eyes and prepared for the inevitable pain that would accompany his death. He waited in anticipation but nothing happened. Remy opened his eyes to find himself in the arm of the most beautiful girl, no woman, he had ever seen. She had long wavy auburn hair, that was offset by two white stripe in the front that created an almost halo around her. He took note of the feathery angel wings that sprouted from her back and flapped gently as she carried him through the air.
"Mon Dieu, M' dead!"
"Not yet Sugah," her thickly accented voiced replied as they touched the ground. "Yah alright?" She drawled.
"M' fine" he replied.
Before he could say anything else she took flight. Remy took the opportunity to admire her body as she flew up toward the last remaining sentinel. His fantasies, however, were transformed into worry, as he noticed her flying full speed toward the solid metal robot. At the rate she was flying there was no way she was going to be able to stop in time. He was however surprised when she hit the sentinel and came out the other side, leaving a gaping whole in the middle. With that swift moment, the robot fell into a useless pile on the ground.
Authors note: I hope you guys liked it. This was my first action scene so hope I did ok. Oh and if you're wondering why I knocked Pete out its becuase I'm not sure what his power is. Anyways please review and tell me what you think.
