Well...I've been been a horrible little updater...maybe I'm punishing all the lurkers for NOT REVIEWING! Heh heh...

A treat for all of the good people who DID REVIEW!

unForgiVingTearS- Thanks for the review! You make me happy. And Pyro showed up last chapter, but I'm planning on using him (and Piotr) more (not like I plan, but I bet it'll happen)

Pyro Lady- Thanks for your faith, as I'm not sure where this is going or how good it's going to be when it gets there...but it's nice to knowsomeone doesn't think I'll screw this up.

StormShadow- Thanks, I wasn't sure whether I liked that part or not. It seemed a little too cliche to me, but then I'm anal about stuff like that, so I was probably overreacting.

I found the line button. I'm so proud of myself.

Roughly two hours ageRemy's voice had gone out because Magneto had screamed it hoarse. Mastermind had then taken full advantage of his telepathy and continued the verbal battle telepathically.

Now, three hours later, the fight finally seemed to be coming to a close. Mastermind's telepathic efforts had exhausted him, and withoutMastermind's telepathy Magneto couldn't say anything, since he'd worn out Gambit's voice.

Mastermind and Magneto stared at each other for several seconds, before Magneto spun Gambit's body around with a loud growl and winced at the pain said growl caused.

(Well, all in all, I think that went really well!) Gambit snorted, doing the mental equiavalent of rolling his eyes.

(Just shut up,) Magneto ordered back, not daring to use Gambit's damaged vocal cords again.

(I mean, come on, let's count what we won! My voice is gone because you stood there screaming at Mastermind for a good two or three hours, which you can do because you were INSIDE MY BODY, which you still ARE, by the way. I think I should get some say in what you do with MY BODY, seeing as how it is MY BODY,) Remy went on.

(I mean it, Gambit; I will not tolerate any backtalk from you!) Magneto warned.

(I won't 'tolerate' you destroying my body!) Remy snapped back.

(So your voice is gone! It isn't as if you could use it anyway!) Magneto angrily pointed out. He/Gambit stomped into the kitchen and pulled the cough syrup out of the cabinet, then took a swig straight from the bottle.

(You drink straight from the carton? Gross,) Remy said.

"I'm going to go call Charles," Magneto announced aloud, as the cough syrup had coated his throat, thus making it possible for him to talk.

(Wonderful. I'm sure that will be a great help!)

"Are you always this sarcastic?" Magneto asked.

(Are you always so uptight?) Magneto/Gambit walked into Magneto's study.

Sitting down behind his desk, Magneto reached for the phone and pressed '1,' which was Charles' number on the speed dial.

"Hello, this is Charles Xavier speaking," Xavier answered on the third ring.

"Charles? It's so good to hear your voice. I'm convinced that I am surrounded by idiots and maniacs," Magneto said. But he said it in Gambit's voice.

"May I inquire as to who is speaking?" Xavier asked, unable to place the voice.

"It's me, Charles, who else would it be?" Magneto asked, forgetting that Xavier could only hear Gambit's voice.

(You're in my body, dipshit!)

(I don't approve of that language, Gambit!) Magneto mentally snapped back.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I know who you are," Xavier said. He was beginning to think that this was some sort of prank call.

"It's me, Magnus—"

"It this some sort of joke?" Xavier interrupted, "I think I could recognize the voice of one of my closest friends!"

"Let me explain, Charles—" Magneto scowled as Xavier hung up.

(Well, that went well.)

"Shut up."

My problem of lacking a plot is happening again...must...get...plot...

Disclaimer- Once there was a magical cow. It was so magical that everyone was happy. So happy, in fact, that no one ever did anything bad and everything was peachy. Then, one day, randomly, the cow died, and the world came crashing down.

PLEASE REVIEW! I swore I wouldn't beg...but I NEED reviews!

I'll give a cookie to anyone who knows what the chapter name is referencing. People who don't know can call the people who do know nerds.
