"Talking"

'Thinking'

Chapter 4- The arrival

'Soon I will arrive in the United States and then…he will pay…' thought a very angry, young boy.

There were people all around her; they were holding needles and other medical objects. She was scared. She didn't understand why this was happening to her, she didn't do anything wrong, not intentionally. She wanted all of them to just go away, she wanted to go home to her father and her brother, surely they had forgiven her already, after all she had lost her mother recently. It was then that the needle was closing in on her arm and the doctors piercing eyes were on it and with a scream she woke up.

Wanda held her head in both her hands as if that would keep those dreams away; she had been having them ever since she had left the asylum and always woke up at the same moment. She reluctantly got up to go to the bathroom; she splashed some water on her face, looked in the mirror and noticed the bags under her eyes. That's when she went back to her room to look at the clock.

"04:30 A.M. just great," she mumbled to herself as she got under the covers and closed her eyes in the vain hope of falling asleep.

09:30 A.M. That Same Day

Mystique was home, so of course the boys were tense, and she kept pacing back and forth.

"It makes no sense! Why would Magneto expose himself like this? My contact in the military informed me that they think a mutant took down that plane… but why would he do that?" Mystique spoke out loud, frustrated.

Against any common sense he had Toad decided to speak, he stepped forward and said, "Well… who says it was him? We are a species in ascension you know!"

'Idiot!' thought Wanda, with indifference.

'Poor man, he died so young,' thought Lance, with pity for his amphibious friend.

'I knew that that big tongue of his would get him into trouble someday, I just didn't know it would be this kind,' Pietro reflected in amusement.

'Toad and his big mouth,' Thought Tabitha, thinking how stupid can a guy be.

'Toad…may he rest in peace,' thought Fred fearing for his friend physical entity.

Mystique turned, started walking slowly kind of like a cat and smiled sweetly at him. Once he was in arms reach she held him up by the collar of his shirt and said with a dangerously low tone of voice, "Do you think that I'm an idiot? After I get the info I went to the place and checked it out; no one could bend metal like that."

She screamed at him, as she threw him across the room. "All of you better be ready for some action because I will find out where Magneto is and when I do I will know where your loyalty lies." The last part was meant for Pietro as she stared directly at him.

At That Time At Big Apple's Shore

After a long trip to America Kevin had finally reached the shore; he was in New York City. But he was aware that the journey wasn't over quite yet. He still had to make it to Bayville and that was in upstate New York. Kevin had no idea in how to get there until he saw that a train was heading that way. Kevin boarded it and waited for what seemed to be a lifetime for that train to start moving.

At That Time That Same Day

Remy was driving his Austin Martin Vanquish and by this side was X-23; she seemed more relaxed now. At least she hadn't glared at him for a good 20 minutes.

'Remy has t' admit dat she is cute! Not as cute as chere, but pretty enough for Johnny boy… maybe she can help him forget about de bosses daughter,' Remy pondered while giving X-23 a few quick glances. 'Remy had enough of watching Johnny sulk around; he must get back in de saddle! Mon Dius… Remy makes dat sound like de fille is some kind of horse! Would Remy be in for it if Tante Matie had heard you say dat!'

X-23 snuck a look at the southern man that was sitting next to her; he seemed to have what resembled a lost look on his face, like he was somewhere else. But her own attention was claimed as the car pulled over into the parking lot of a rather large building, which seemed pretty nice on the outside.

Remy got out of the car, walked around it and opened the door for X-23, giving her his hand, she looked at it and rolled her eyes while thinking, 'Who are you trying to impress?' as she got up and headed toward this so called mall without any help from anyone.

As entered the mall Remy took her hand and directed her to a store. As they approached the entrance a lady smiled at them and said, "May I help you? Are you two looking for something special?"

Remy smirked, he just couldn't help it, it was stronger than him. He put his arm around her waist and said- still wearing his trademark smirk- "Well…anything ma chere wears is special but if you will please show us de sexiest lingerie you have here we would appreciate it."

That had got them a sassy look from the sales girl and once again Remy couldn't help to add, "I just woke up today and hated all of it, you know… people should keep updating t' keep deir significant other interested."

To say that X-23 was upset would be an understatement, her blood was boiling and before she could say anything the sales girl directed her to the dressing room and placed at least 50 skimpy outfits in there so she could try them on. As she looked at the pile of clothes that just kept on coming she decided, this day was really going to suck!

Back At the Train

Kevin looked around and saw what seemed like a happy, normal family; mom, dad and a kid, they were all smiling and talking, they seemed genuinely happy. Kevin frowned and looked away.

Kevin's face turned into one of pure hate as he thought, 'It's not fair… I should have one of those too… he took that away from me, all the bad that happened to me was all his fault; it's his fault that I'm miserable, he will pay!'

Launch Time

X-23 was tired, all she did was go to stores, try on clothes that either Remy, or the sales woman chose. Remy would tell her if she looked good or bad in them, then she would take them to the counter pay for them then do it again in another store. She now had lingerie, pants, shorts, skirts, shirts, tops and shoes; most of the items were dark, she especially liked dark blue. And she got a new haircut, even though she hated it she had to admit, Remy had excellent taste. He had told her that they would be done in an hour or two, something about perfumes and make-up, but now they would eat.

They sat across from each other. Remy had told her not to expect fine cuisine, but she thought the food was decent enough.

X-23 had noticed a crowded 0table; there were at least 7 girls that were splitting their time between ogling Gambit and the guy that was sitting at their table. X-23 had to admit that the guy was probably the best looking guy that she had ever seen, but then again she had only been out for a couple of hours. The girls seemed to laugh at everything that the guy said it was annoying as hell.

Remy followed X-23's sight line and smirked at the sight that he had encountered. Soon their food arrived, yet that seemed to go unnoticed to Remy's companion, X-23, as well as a sapphire-eyed boy sitting near by. Something that didn't go unnoticed to Remy was that the sapphire eyes that just recently had recognized him were no longer on him but on his "date".

Pietro's Table

Pietro was having a good day, he was taking a few girls out, and he was good looking as always. Most importantly, his hair hadn't put up a fight this morning, and now for the cherry on top of the cake, Remy, the so called King of Hearts and as far as Pietro was concerned only rival as ultimate player (sure Lance could be competition, but Kitty Cat had taken care of removing him off the market and the Australian wasn't exactly easy competition, but still in Pietro's mind Remy was the one to fear) Remy was there and his date couldn't take her eyes of the dazzling Pietro. He was going to humiliate Gambit and let him know that he was the master of seduction and that Bayville was his territory.

Back at Remy's Table

Remy kept looking at X-23 then at Pietro, Pietro, X-23, X-23 Pietro and so on, and then it hit him; he could have some fun with this.

"Remy t'inks dat blue eyes dere likes you chere!" Remy said with his most innocent smile. "You like what you see too, non!"

X-23 blushed at the comment but then put herself together and glared at the smiling Cajun.

"Oh come on petite…admit it! You have been staring at de homme for de last five minutes!" Remy said as he got up. "Remy will pay our check so we can get back t' shopping my chere."

Back at Pietro's table

"Oh Pietro you are so cute!" said the girl that was standing at his right.

"Yeah…that's great Sherlie," Pietro said absently, while liking his lips. 'It's time to work your charm, good looking,' Pietro thought as he watched Remy leave, probably to pay the bill.

"Sherlie? Who the hell is Sherlie?" asked the girl angrily, after all she had been sitting near him for at least half an hour and he hadn't heard a word, not even her name.

Back at X-23's table

A torrent of wind blew by and X-23 picked up a scent; it smelled really good, it smelled like really expensive cologne that a woman tried to talk Remy into buying just moments ago.

"Well…hello good looking!" said Pietro as he took the sit next to X-23's.

X-23 jumped slightly in surprise, but then resumed her glaring; she crossed her arms over her chest and asked in an annoyed tone, "What do you want?"

Pietro was taken back by her cold tone of voice but quickly shock it off. "Just wanted to talk…so how long have you known Gambit?" he asked, convincing himself that she was just playing hard to get, after all if Remy could play this girl why couldn't he? 'Come on babe, just surrender to Daddy,' he thought, smirking his most charming smirk.

"Gambit? Oh you mean Remy? A day or two take it or leave it!" she answered with a constant frown that clearly showed that she wasn't going to give in to him anytime soon.

'A day and he got a date with this ice cube? Damn the guy is good!' Pietro thought, he then noticed that Remy was walking towards the table. 'This calls for desperate measures,' he thought.

With a swift move Pietro placed a hand behind her head and another on her back and pulled her close, then kissed her with all his might. X-23 was taken aback, there was a conflagration of emotions, there was pleasure from the kiss but mostly there was rage. 'When this is over this albino rat is going to be castrated!' X-23 thought, angrily. As they broke apart Pietro looked up to see a smiling Cajun and then noticed the very, very pissed of girl. X-23 grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and literally dragged him to an isolated place near the bathrooms were nobody could see them and slammed him against the wall. Her face was red with rage; Remy on the other hand was laughing so hard that looked like he might need oxygen.

"What is wrong with you…you moron?" X-23 yelled.

"What! Just moments ago you seemed to like it…like me!" Pietro said just to spite Remy, but it seemed to cause the opposite effect, Remy began to laugh even harder as he watched X-23's expression go from mad to absolute, mortal hate.

"What!" X-23 yelled while extending a claw and pointing it towards his lower regions. "Try to get this through your thick skull I like cancer better than you, you egotistical jerk; do that again and I will chop it off, you pigment-less ass!"

X-23 then let go of him and headed towards a shop that Remy had mentioned earlier.

"Pietro you stud," Remy said between laughs. "Dat was real smooth mon ami, too bad your friends weren't here t' take notes."

"That…that…bitch! She is an ice cube… telling me that I'm an albino rat! Threatening me!" Pietro shrieked in disbelief; looking at X-23's ass, "Man…our kids are going to be good looking!"

Meanwhile at the X-mansion

It was a peaceful day at the X-mansion; all was well until a student's scream was heard.

"When…Who like ate my cookies! KURT!" Kitty screamed.

In the rec room

"Oops…got to go Jeanny!" Kurt said before he vanished in a puff of smoke.

Jean broke down laughing as Kitty phased through the door and asked in a rather upset tone "Where…is…like…Kurt!"

"Uh… not here!" Jean answered, half frightened because she had never seen Kitty this upset and half amused over the whole situation.

As Kitty was running off she bumped against something hard…or rather someone, as she looked up she saw who she bumped against and asked with a rather diabolical expression. "Have you like seen Kurt?"

"I think I saw him by the pool just now," Answered Scott, feeling sorry for his furry teammate.

"When I, like find him, he will so be sorry, because we will finally see if his insides are like blue too," Kitty said harshly.

As Scott entered the rec room he noticed that Jean was the only one there.

"So…Jean… how are you?" Scott asked nervously while looking out the window.

"Fine…you?" Jean answered, feeling awkward.

"Good! Want to go check out a movie or something?" Scott blurted out.

"Yes! I mean… I'd love to," Jean answered with a huge smile.

These two have been tiptoeing around the fact that they have feelings for each other since they brook up with Taryn and Duncan. Everybody had already noticed it, including someone that had had a monumental crush on Scott, Rogue.

Jean didn't want to hurt her; yes even though the two of them aren't the best of friends she still liked and admired the Goth. She had been through a lot and Jean didn't want to make it any harder for her to be around people than it already was. That was the first reason why Jean hadn't already asked Scott out, but now that she and Rogue had had a strange, but good conversation where the younger girl had admitted that her crush on Scott had ceased to exist, Jean head was way more tranquil. She had been able to see that Rogue was being honest that she truly had been over Scott, not only was she over him she also had a new crush. Jean hadn't been able to find out whom, but that didn't really matter.

"I'll pass by your room at ten P.M. ok?" Scott asked not waiting for her to reconsider.

"That will be fine," Jean said.

At a bookstore in the mall

Rogue was looking through the horror/suspense section when she spotted someone in the perfume shop right across from the bookstore. That person had also noticed her and he smirked. She saw that he was talking to someone in there and then walked out to the bookstore and his date walked along side him. They were both carrying a lot of bags; the girl that he had brought with him had a frown on her face and stood in front of Rogue, looking at her from head to toe.

'Nice outfit! Why didn't he take me to her shop!' X-23 thought as she looked at the Goth standing in front of her over.

'What are you looking at? So you have nice clothes big deal,' Thought Rogue while looking at the "competition".

"Who is this?" Rogue asked a little more aggressively than she was going for.

"I like her!" X-23 stated as she turned to face the Cajun. "Much better than the girls that spend all day trying to get into your pants."

Rogue smiled at that and thought 'I misjudged her.'

"I'm his…" X-23 started.

"She be a friend of Pietro's," interrupted Remy with a smirk.

"Ah friend! Of Pietro's?" Rogue replied, with a perked eyebrow.

At the mention of that name X-23's face turned red, she had been asking questions about that guy to Remy.

She turned back to Remy and told him in a dangerous tone, "When I find a way, and believe me I will, you and that…that albino rat will meet, shall we say, an unfortunate accident."

Gambit smirked as Rogue asked him what all that was about. Remy simply answered that love was a blind, but beautiful thing, while he watched X-23 make her way through the many horror books.

"So…mon amour…how about a kiss?" Remy asked flirtatiously while eyeing her carefully.

"Do ya have ah death wish! Want ta end up in ah coma!" Rogue answered with a sigh.

"Maybe it will be worth it, non!" Remy answered with his trademark smirk.

At the Bayville Train Station 02:00 A.M.

Kevin walked out of the train to be greeted by no one. With the exception of a few people that had come to pick up their loved ones and the people that worked there, the station was empty. He was tired and hungry, something that he had never been before. His mother had always brought him food at what appeared to him to be the same time. He had a routine and now that he found himself out of it, despite his physical needs, he felt good, he was out of the cocoon that he had been forced to be in for so long.

"Bayville… here I am finally!" Kevin simply stated.
