Pain

Rin woke to pounding on the door. She pulled the pillow over her head when the door was broken open. Wolverine pulled the pillow and blankets away.

"Get up Magneto wants to talk to us." Rin rolled away form him. He grabbed her putting her over his shoulder.

"Wolverine put me down." Rin said half asleep. He walked into Magneto's office putting Rin in a chair.

"Good morning all of you. Gambit and Pyro you two are going with Ice Angel and Angel on a hit. Gambit you break in, Pyro and Ice Angel will look for anything we can use. Now Angel when the man comes home knock him out until they find everything. When they're done put him in a sitting position and make it look like a suicide." He looked at Rin. "Rin wake up now." Rin shook her head.

"I heard you." She made her ears twitch. "I can't go anyway, 'Ro said, no defense or offence, no horses play, and no hurting Pyro." Rin rolled over in the chair.

"He won't fight back." Magneto stood.

"Look if this guy is smart he will have know something going to happen. He won't be alone and he'll have people watching his house. Or worse he'll be home and knock us out and who knows what will happen after that." Rin said in her sleep. Magneto opened an alcohol strip making Rin jump.

"There's no way that could happen." He left the strip open making Rin hold her nose.

"You can't guarantee that." Rin light the strip on fire and let go of her nose.

"You four are going and it will go to plan." Magneto put the fire out. "You are going."

"I'm hurt, 'Ro said I can't." Rin crossed her arms.

"You leave at noon." Magneto left the room with Wolverine and Sabertooth.

"That's not fair. I don't want to go. I want to sleep." Rin laid on the floor.

"Nothing will happen shela, I will protect you." Pyro stood over her.

"Look the best thing to do is not to do as he said." Rin stretched when she got off the floor.

"Sorry chere but Gambit would like ta keep his head." He walked over to the couch with Ice.

"No see we watch him find out a few things before we do the job. That way we do it but not as soon as we should." Rin paced thinking out loud.

"Rin sit you're driving me crazy. We will do as we are told but if something happens we go to your plan." Ice looked at Rin who stopped pacing.

"Fine." Rin gave in walking to her room and showered. She came back in combat, camo pants, black beater and gloves in her back pocket. Ice was in baggy black pants, combat boots, black corset and gloves in her hands. Not far behind was gambit in his trench coat, loss jeans, red and black t-shirt and gloves sticking out of one of the trench coats pockets. Pyro was late in loss jeans like Gambit's, an orange t-shirt and gloves on his hands.

"Maybe you should take off the gloves for now, you look weird." Rin said poking Pyro's hand.

"I drive with my gloves on." Pyro said.

"What car should we take." Ice asked.

"Yours." Rin smirked.

"Hey, not fair." Ice protested.

"You never paid me back for gas and you owe me big time." Rin started to walk out to the cars.

"How do I owe you?" Ice asked stopping her.

"I turned off all the cameras in the house so you could spend time with Gambit." Rin said pointing at the broken camera, Ice hit her. "Watch were you hit that was almost my side!"

"Sorry I didn't try it." Ice grabbed her keys.

"Yea right that's what they all say." Rin rolled her eyes, Gambit and Pyro slowly got into the car fearing for their lives.

Within 30 mins. they were at his house. They walked into the building and to his room. Gambit easily opened the door everyone went to work. Pyro and Ice Angel took files, tapes, money, the computer, laptop, and anything worth taking. Angel closed the windows and blinds listening for anything while Gambit opened file boxes, safes, and other things. They put everything in bags and backpacks. They were ready to go but the man hadn't come home yet so they sat and waited.

Angel heard footsteps and ran quickly to the door. She then heard the click of a shotgun and hit the floor before she was shot. The door opened and guns going off. The four split up so they would be harder to find. Ice Angel slipped the gun to Angel. She took aim and shot the man with the shotgun. Gambit kicked the shotgun to Ice Angel just missing getting shot. Ice shot the man with the rifle before he shot her. Another man grabbed her putting a pistol to her head. Ice Angel dropped the gun as she was told. His men stopped shooting letting gambit and Pyro see Ice. Angel hide aiming at the man behind Ice Angel. Ice saw her but didn't change how she was acting. Pyro and Gambit had guns put to there heads.

"There were four of them, one is missing?" The man with Ice Angle asked.

"I think we shot her sir." The man with Gambit answer. Pyro flinched and Gambit slowly shook his head. Ice knew what she was going to do and let her body go limp. A shot was rang out and the man dropped. Ice Angel grabbed the shotgun and gave Angel the pistol that was now on the floor.

"Drop it or die." Angel said aiming the pistol and her gun at the men's heads. Ice Angel cocked the shotgun and they dropped their guns. Pyro and Gambit walked way to get the bags. They heard two shots then a gun hit the floor as Ice Angel came back empty handed and Angel putting both guns down the back of her pants. "Now how do I make it look like suicide?" Angel said crossing her arms.

"Looks more like a battle field." Ice Angel said.

"We can always burn the place." Pyro pointed to some wires.

"That'll work." Ice Angel said looking at Angel who nodded.

"When did da two of ya become so good wit' a gun?" Gambit nodded to the dead body behind her.

"We saw Wolverine and Sabertooth do it all the time." Ice Angel said shrugging.

"Besides it's not that hard after you do it once. So we won't need to come to you." Angel smirked at them.

"Ya heard dat." Gambit rubbed his neck. She started the fire and they walked out of the house. When they got home the shooting and fire was on the news. No one knew what happened and no one was alive from the apartment. Everyone was standing behind Rin when they walked into Magneto's office.

"Oh, nothing will happen, it will go to plan, he won't fight back. Ice, Gambit, Pyro, and I were almost shot. Does that sound like everything was ok. We shot and killed five people and what did we do it for? We have no damn clue! He knew we were there, hell he almost shot my head off. And you just sit there like nothing happened. I can't believe I called you Unc." Rin's yelling was cut off.

"Now wait right there. I took you in, I raised you." He was cut off.

"No you didn't, Logan did. When I had a bad dream he came rushing into my room not you. When I had my first play at school not only was 'Ro and Logan there but Victor was there! And if he was with some girl and I called him, he came even if he was drunk and couldn't walk a straight line to save his life. You, you were never there, and now you aren't either. You're always gone, all we are to you are tools to do your dirty work." Rin hit the desk breaking it in half.

"That's not true you are all like my children." He stood looking hurt.

"Then start acting like it because Kara's growing up the same way. We are raising her." Rin walked out of the room. Everyone lingered before they went to the game room.

"That's something I want to never see again." Ice held onto Gambit.

"Gambit would hate ta be on da other end." Gambit rubbed Ice's shoulders.

"Why did shela go off like that though? She went into things that didn't even happen." Pyro laid on the couch.

"Pent up anger maybe. I mean she did lose both her parents early on and she didn't really have anyone looking after her." Ice looked at the door.

"But Wolverine and Storm were dere." Gambit looked confused.

"Not like parents would be there. They just came and went." Ice played with Gambit's hand.

"It was odd seeing her with that gun. She had this strange look when she had it." Pyro looked at Ice.

"Sorry I don't have the answer to that one." Ice shook her head. They walked to the weight room where they could here music blaring and the sound of padding being hit. Pyro went to walk in when Ice shook her head.

"Let her go. I think she needs time alone." They left Rin to herself. She didn't come out until Wolverine broke down the door and carried her to bed.
