TROUBLE

"Stay low, I smell trouble."

"What is is Wolverine?"

"Brotherhood's here."

"What? How would they know?"

"Don't know, but that just means one thing."

"Yeah trouble."

"Kitty, get Cyclops on the communicator and tell him what's going on. I'm going to go and see what I can find out."

"Sure." Click. "Cyclops, this is Shadowcat. The Brotherhood's down here snooping around."

"Great. There's bound to be trouble. We will be there in a few minutes. Try to avoid a confrontation."

"Aaaahh."

"Ggrrrr."

"Um Cyclops, it's too late for that."

"Alright, we're on our way."

"Well, if'n Ah'm stuck with ya, Ah need to go back ta mah motel room and get mah stuff." He smirked.

"You don't have to do that for me. We can both stay-"

"Dream on lover boy, Ah don't trust ya as far as Ah can throw ya."

"Oh, but Anna-"

"And quit callin' meh that. Mah name's Rogue now."

"Alright Rogue, you're telling me that you aren't tired."

"Don't matter, I don't trust ya. Ya work with her."

"How about this, right now, I work for you." Then he wiggled his eyebrows at her. She smiled and shook her head.

"Ya really gotta get some good lines if'n ya a real ladies man sugah."

When Cyclops and Jean arrived at the club, they found the fight going on in the parking lot. Wolverine was trying to take on Blob and Toad, while Kitty was defending herself from Avalanche and trying to talk some sense into him .Kitty and Avalanche stopped fighting as Cyclops asked, "Why do you want the girl Avalanche?"

"Don't know what your talking about One Eye."

"Then why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

"This is pointless."

"You're right about that." Then he rolled back his eyes and the ground started to shake. Jean used her telekinesis and hurled him into a nearby car. Then they all retreated back to the task at hand. There was competition, so she had to be important if they knew about her, and they had to get there first.

"Ann-Rogue. You have been driving all night, don't you want to take a nap or something."

"No." he sighed.

"Well, can we stop somewhere so we can get something to eat, maybe use a bathroom or something?"

"Sounds good, Ah could use some coffee." she turned off of the freeway onto the first exit and found a mall close by. 'Ah could use some new stuff.'

"A mall?"

"Got a bettah idea?"

"Hey, you're the southerner, and we're in the south. Plus it's your car, so you know best." She smiled.

"And don't ya forget it."

As they went walking through the stores, she noticed a small Starbucks and drank her much needed coffee.

"So, what are we going to do in her?" He asked her as he raised an eyebrow.

"Ah could use some more clothes. Mah, um, skin condition was a lil recent and Ah don't exactly have too many clothes ta keep meh well and covered."

"That sucks. Someone like you shouldn't have to be so covered up." 'Is he actually flirting with meh? Whay in the world would anybody want somebody they can't touch?'

"Are ya tryin' ta get on mah good side, sugah?" 'Wow, is she actually taking the bait?'

"Maybe, is it working?" 'Well, he is kinda cute, even if'n he's a bit delusional.'

"Not yet, but go ahead and keep tryin'." He smiled as they went off to shop.

"Remy could definitely use a rest." He sighed. "Where are ya chere?" He had been looking for her all night and nothing. But then, just as he was about to pass this mall, he saw Belle's car.

'Dere ain't no way nobody 'round here got a car like dat.' He drove up and parked right next to it and peeked inside. 'Dis definitely her.'
