Author's Note-

Callian- Ya know, I hadn't even thought about the irony of Kitty making kitten noises until you pointed it out. We finally start to find out what's going on with the others here.

MutantFreek- That's what I thought when I heard the song for the first time too. I've just been waiting for the chance to use it. I'm glad I"m one of you favorites.

GambitsRogue- Romantic is what I was going for, some fluff before the mini fight.

ishandahalf- It's the longest I've ever gone in a story without sex. Here you go, maybe not as quick as a crack addicted rabbit but hey...

JamaykanQueen89- There will be more sex, just later on through the story.

The Plan Comes Through

You think I only think about you
When we're both in the same room
I'm only here to witness
The remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
A game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
-Barenaked Ladies
Still in the hotel

Kitty woke up in Pete's arms and blinked. "Pete?"

"Yeah?" he asked sitting up groggily.

"Um... good morning."

Pete smiled kissing her gently. "Mornin', grasshopper." He yawned leaning back. "Shower?"

"Yeah." He stood and stretched, unbothered by his nakedness. She stood slowly blushing a little as his eyes moved over her.

"God, you're so bloody beautiful," Pete said walking over to her and kissing her slowly. She smiled looking up into his eyes. She had never believed that she was even pretty but with Pete she actually felt like she was beautiful. She stretched her legs. "Still sore?"

"A little, but last night was worth it."

He smiled. "That's good to hear." He kissed her again before the two made their way into the bathroom.

New Orleans

"So, how was de trip?" Remy asked as Logan pulled in.

"Don't ask," Logan said getting out of the car.

"Where are de others?"

Logan smirked. "What others?"

"You are very lucky that I'm so forgiving," Betsy said as she pulled in behind him. She turned to Remy. "He left the kids at the bus stop when he went to rent that monstrosity he calls a car. I had to hike back to find them and rent a car."

"That was yer own choice, darlin'," Logan said. "I told you, you could ride with me." He turned to Remy. "Next time you take the kids." He looked around. "Speaking of kids, where are they?"

Betsy's eyes widened. "Oh no. I forgot them." Pete's Thunderbird pulled up and Bobby and Jubilee got out along with Kitty and Pete.

"Look what we found," Pete said.

"Can we keep them?" Kitty asked like a little girl. "They're housebroken and everything."

"No," Logan said. "They go straight to the shelter."

"Take us with you on the way home," Jubilee pleaded with Kitty. "He's a big, scary man."

"Let's move," Remy said. "Jubilee, you get Bobby ready. Pete, Logan, go change. You, chat, look fine."

Kitty smiled. "I know." She had chosen a black sweater and a black leather skirt along with sandals in case she had to run. Remy handed her a gun, a spare round of ammo, and a silencer. She checked the safety before putting it into her purse.

Remy looked at Kitty for a few seconds before raising one eyebrow. "Y' know, petite, Remy was jokin' about de hotel room."

Kitty's eyes widened. "How...? But... You..."

"Try formin' a complete sentence, petite," Remy smiled.

"How?"

"It be obvious. Y' just have more confidence. Plus, Wisdom hasn't been dis relaxed in months."

Kitty raised both of her eyebrows. "We're about to go on a mission. Pete's just as nervous as the rest of us."

"Oui, but he's still more relaxed den ever." Pete came out in a pair of black jeans and a black sweater. Logan was dressed in a dark green t- shirt, a black jacket, and a pair of black slacks.

"Bobby," Remy said as the younger man approached. "Trés manifique Good job, firecracker." Jubilee smiled at the compliment.

"I feel stupid," Bobby said.

"Don't worry, mate," Pete said. "It's not how you feel it's how you it's how you look." He grinned. "Of course, the bad news is you look stupid. Ow!" Pete rubbed his stomach where Kitty's elbow had hit. "Damn it, Kitty."

"You deserved it," Kitty said.

"This goes against me better judgment," Pete said. He handed a spar set of keys to Kitty. "Ya know where yer goin' right?"

"Yeah," Kitty said. Pete pulled her into his arms.

"Be careful, luv."

"You too," Kitty said.

"We'll be dere around eight," Remy told Kitty and Jubilee. "You two should be in place by den."

"We'll go ahead and head over now," Kitty gave Remy a quick hug. "Just get her out."

"Remy will. Bobby, y'r ride'll be here in ten minutes. Bon chance, mes amis." Betsy and the guys, minus Bobby piled into Logan's car and the girls got into Pete's thunderbird.

"So," Jubilee said as Kitty drove through the heart of New Orleans. "How was the trip?"

Kitty smiled. "It was okay."

"I knew it!" Jubilee exclaimed. "You had sex."

"Is there a sign on my forehead?"

"It was in your smile. Tell me about it."

"No."

"But-"

"No." Kitty pulled off the road. "C'mon, we walk from here." The two trekked almost thirty minutes until they reached a fence. "Take my hand. I'll phase us through." They walked to a tree overlooking the mansion. The two girls climbed as high as they could and Kitty got out their walkie- talkie.

"We're in place," she informed the others.

"Bobby's already moving," Betsy informed the two girls. "And we're on our way."

"How do we know she's here?" Jubilee asked as Kitty turned the walkie- talkie off.

"We're relying on hope," Kitty said. "The professor just saw that she was in New Orleans." Kitty paused staring at the mansion. "If one thing goes wrong..."

"I know," Jubilee said. "How was it?"

"Jubes," Kitty growled.

"I don't want details, but it's a simple question."

"Fantastic. One of the best nights of my life. Happy?"

"No," Jubilee said. "But thank you." They sat in silence for almost twenty minutes.

"There they are," Kitty said.

"Please let this work," Jubilee prayed. The other four got in with no problem. Kitty watched their progress through binoculars as Jubilee kept an eye out. Kitty finally couldn't see them anymore. The girls waited for some sign for almost an hour before they heard some gunshots, a few explosions, and a yell.

Kitty brought the pistol up, too the safety off, and put the silencer on. The four came running out, Logan was holding an unconscious Rogue. She took each of the people following her friends down before grabbing Jubilee's hand and jumping out of the tree phasing so they landed safely. She kept a hold of Jubilee's hand as the two of them ran back to Pete's car turning back every once in a while to make sure they safe.

"We're okay," Betsy told them.

"So are we," Kitty said. "We'll see you guys at the mansion." The girls took off and drove back to the thieves' headquarters. Jubilee jumped out, running to the house, and straight into Bobby's arms.

"Next time," Bobby said, "one of you get to do this."

"I don't think we'd pass as Remy," Kitty said. They had dressed Bobby in some of Remy's clothing and dyed his hair. Logan's car pulled up and everyone piled out. Remy was carrying Rogue protectively in his arms. Even though she was awake, and not very happy.

"Put meh down, you Neanderthal!" Rogue exclaimed struggling despite his tight grip. "Ah'm still mad at ya!"

"Remy concocts a brilliant plan and risks life and limb ta save his chére and she still won't forgive him," Remy pouted.

"Swamp rat, Ah swear, if mah feet aren't on that ground in ten seconds-" she was cut off by Remy's lips. She closed her eyes losing herself in the touch of his lips. The kiss went on for a while until Rogue finally pulled away.

"Y' didn' absorb Remy," the Cajun said with a wide, boyish grin. She wouldn't admit it but when Remy smiled like that she could feel her heart start pounding in her chest.

Rogue almost smiled. "Only because Ah don't want yer perverted thoughts in mah head."

"Whatever y' want ta believe," he said still smiling.

Pete walked over to Kitty and hugged her tightly. "You did fantastic, grasshopper."

"I hope I didn't hurt anyone," Kitty said.

"Kit, luv, you shot them, they're gonna be hurt." She frowned. "But I'm sure it won't be serious. Yer good, luv, I'm sure they're okay."

"Where are we?" Rogue asked. "And what happened?"

"We're at Remy's house," Remy told her reluctantly setting her on her feet.

"Remy actually did come up with a good plan," Kitty said. "I was stationed outside to cover them. Bobby dressed up like Remy and went here so they wouldn't catch on. The guys and Betsy went inside to rescue you."

"We were caught," Betsy said. "But two former agents, a trained thief, and a ninja make a pretty good team."

"You were an agent?" Rogue asked.

"SHIELD," Logan said.

"Why are y' lurkin' on de front porch?" an elderly African American woman asked. "Get in here, boy." Remy's face spit into a wide grin and he walked in hugging the woman.

"Dis be T'ante Mattie," Remy said. "And mon pére, Jean-Luc." Remy embraced his father. "Dis is Kitty Pryde, Pete Wisdom, Logan, Betsy Braddock, Jubilee Lee, and Bobby Drake."

"Bonjour," Jean-Luc smiled. "Welcome ta my home." The others walked in.
