LONG NIGHTS

"Cyclops to Wolverine, what's your status?"

"Still nothing yet Cyc."

"Jean found some information about a club. Some guy was found inside unconscious."

"I'm all over it."

"Alright, but if she's been there, she's long gone."

"Avalanche, have you heard from Quicksilver yet?"

"No. He's probably still looking for her."

"Alright then. Found some information that might have led her to a club in town. Check it out for me won't you?"

"No problem."

"Oh, and do inform me when Pietro decides to tell us what is going on."

"Will do."

"What's ya business with momma anyhow?"

"Wait, she's your mother?" He said, trying to hide his shock.

"Adopted, whay?"

"She never told us that part." He mumbled.

"So, what did she tell ya, and who's us?"

"We're mutants, like you."

"Right, and Ah'm the Queen of England."

"Well then, its nice to meet you. Can't say I care much for tea though."

"Ha ha! Ya a barrel or riots."

"Try to be. Name's Pietro."

"Momma one too then." She growled out through her clenched teeth.

"You didn't know?"

"Naw, she nevah explained any of it. Just know that Kurt is."

"You know Kurt?"

"He is mah brother." She told him with pride.

"He's blue and fuzzy, and yet you don't believe me?" He sounded a little bit annoyed.

"Ah don't know ya."

"Point taken. She's our leader."

"Who?"

"Your mother, Raven. She's called Mystique."

"Figures, bossy 'nough." They laughed.

"We're the Brotherhood. We all live in New York."

"And ya'll came all the way down south fer lil ol' meh. Whay Ah suppose Ah should beh honored." She drawled out batting her lashes. He looked out the window and then mumbled,

"She does care about you, you know? As soon as she found out what happened, we were brought down here. Those thieves weren't exactly happy to see us." If she heard him, she acted like she didn't.

"Where ya want meh ta drop ya off at?"

"Oh, I'm not leaving you out of my sight." She took a quick look at him, and then back at the road.

"Ya kiddin' right?"

"No. If I did Mystique would kill me, and that is just not good for my rep."

"And what's your rep?" He sat up straight and smirked.

"Ladies man extrodinaire." She laughed.

"Remy, we can't stay here anymore. Somethin' bad happened at home."

"Can't let her go mon frere. Remy have ta find her."

"I know, just, phone dead."

"Quoi?"

"Ain't nobody there ta pick it up or somethin'. I don't know. Just know somethin' happened. I even tried the special line."

"You go back, see what's goin' on. Remy stay out here lookin'. Ya hear anythin' or find somethin' just call Remy, he go back."

"Fair 'nough. But be careful mon frere."

"Toujours."
