Old Enemies New Friends

Gambit walked down the hall toward the professor's office. It was around 2 am so everyone was still up (2 am to all of them is like two in the afternoon.).

Gambit looked up as he heard footsteps coming down the hall toward him. When he saw who was coming he sighed Kao, Selene, Michael and even Rogue had talked to him about Scott and the leader's thoughts about him.

Well the vampires had warned him about Scott Rogue had gone one step further asking him (more like ordering him) to not get in to a large conflict with Cyclops. Gambit had agreed saying that if a fight started it would be Scott throwing the first punch.

As the two passed by each other Scott swerved ramming Gambit in to the wall. Normally Gambit would have taken that as the first punch but he already had his revenge.

Gambit had known Scott would try something like that, so when Scott rammed him Remy had charged his belt buckle.

Three...Two...One...Boom!

Gambit chuckled quietly to him self as he heard the buckle explode and a wave of laughter from the front hall.

Gambit continued down the hall when he heard more footsteps behind him. Remy had expected it to be Scott but when he turned around he found Kao and Rogue coming toward him.

Kao had a slight grin on her face well Rogue looked like a mother who couldn't get her son to behave. But when gambit looked in to her deep green eyes he saw an amused look and smiled at the approaching girls.

"I thought you promised me you wouldn't get in to any fights with Scott." Rogue asked wondering why she had even tried

Gambit shrugged "He threw the first punch." The Cajun said simply as he turned to knock on the door to the right of him.

"Come in Remy." The prof. said before Gambit had knocked.

"Does he get some kinda sick humor from doing that." Gambit asked as he opened the door and walked in Kao followed him in.

"You may come to Rogue." The prof. called out the door to the uncertain Goth.

"They're meeting me tonight." Gambit told the assembled audience which included Kao, Selene, Michael, Rogue and the professor.

Gambit had relived the meeting with Magneto telling them about the attack on the mall and his secret meeting with Pyro and Colossus. Remy had offered to speak to the acolytes on the X-men's behalf hoping to get two new members to the group.

"Where are you meeting them?" Prof X asked thoughts swirling through his head. If these two joined the X-men it would put magneto's team down to three members instead of six, which would disable some of Magneto's plans.

"I'm meeting them in the park" Remy told the prof.

"But there a couple things we would have to do before some of them could join." Gambit told the room thinking of what Magneto had hanging over Colossuses head.

"What kind of things?" Selene asked as she stared at Gambit her eyes never leaving his.

"With St. John it's the same thing you did with me just get rid of the collar, but it's different for Colossus...Magneto has his family hostage some where in Russia he can't and won't leave without them." He told them as he looked around the room to include everyone in the conversation.

So after much discussion a plan was created.

Gambit along with Kao and Rogue would go meet with the acolytes. Well Logan would take a few of the X-men to rescue the Rasputin family.

From what Gambit had gathered over the years the family wasn't heavily guarded.

"Are we all agreed?" the professor asked making sure everyone agreed on the plan. When no one said anything he nodded and they all left.

Gambit leaned against a tree in central park shuffling his cards. Rogue was beside him lost in thoughts of the future.

Kao sat in one of the tree branches above them staring out in to the shadows surrounding them.

"Rogue." Kao said quietly nudging the girl with her foot "Their here."

Rogue looked up to see the approaching acolytes, she put her hand in the air as Kao grabbed onto it and pulled Rogue in to the tree beside her. They had all agreed that Remy would talk to the acolytes and then Rogue and Kao would make their appearance.

Gambit looked up at Kao's words and grinned at the two approaching acolytes.

"Hey Remy what's up." Pyro asked putting his hands in his pockets as he looked around the park.

"Remy has a proposition for you mon amiss." Gambit told the two as he put his cards in one of the holders on his belts.

"Like what my friend." Colossus asked

"Well what if Remy told you he knew a way to be free of metal head." Remy said slyly watching the two react to this news.

Colossus sighed "I told you Remy I will not leave well my family is still in that mans hold." He said as he thought of his parents and his little sister.

"No Remy means free for good your family goes free the collar gone what if could make that happen for the two of you." Gambit told the two smiling.

"Are you serious mate free of Magneto for good?" Pyro asked hoping this wasn't some kind of sick joke.

"Remy serious we be free for good." Gambit said as he glanced up toward the tree branches where his other friends were hiding.

Both acolytes looked stunned for a minute before Pyro broke out of it.

"Well what are we waiting for tell us what we gotta do mate." John said grinning as Colossus nodded beside him.

Gambit nodded and then whistled the signal for Kao and Rogue to come out of hiding.

Rogue grabbed on to a branch and swung down well Kao stepped off the branch and landed on her feet well Rogue landed in a crouch.

Pyro and Colossus were stunned for a moment before both got ready for a fight of some kind. Colossus shifted in to his metal form well Pyro whipped out a lighter and formed a large fireball in his hand.

Gambit raised his hands as a sign of peace.

"Their friends mon amis their the ones who freed me." He said trying to calm the two.

"What did one eye blast you in to the ground first?" Pyro asked seemly giving his opinion on the X-men leader.

"Non Kao here helped me." Remy answered as he went in to story of how he had come to join the X-men. Rogue noticed that Remy left out how Kao, Selene and Michael were Vampires instead he called them quote 'an interesting kind of mutant.'

The story spanned over an hour as Gambit told how he had run in to Kao and they had both helped Selene and Michael fight some enemies and how the four come to the manor and been welcomed.

Kao and Rogue both added in their own parts through out the story but mostly left the telling to Remy.

After the story was over Pyro, Colossus and Gambit had gone off a little ways to talk.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Rogue asked glancing over at the trio for again.

Kao who was sitting in a tree again looked over at the group.

"Probably if they're going to join or not." Kao said as she leaned back and closed her eyes thinking.

Rogue leaned back against the tree glancing around the park. Then she heard a noise from her belt. Rogue and Kao both looked down to see her communicator light blinking.

Rogue picked to little device off her belt and placed it next to her ear. The professor's voice filtered through.

"Rogue the Rasputin has been rescued and will be arriving soon." He told her

"Ok professor we should be back soon." She said glancing over at the small group again.

"Good we'll see you soon." The prof. answered ad hung up.

Rogue hung the communicator on her belt again and stood up.

"What was that all about?" Kao asked looking at Rogue Rogue told Kao what the prof. had said as she began walking toward the trio.

Kao jumped down from the tree as she followed Rogue over to Gambit, Pyro and Colossus. Vampire behind Mutant.

When they were beside the group Rogue placed her hand on Remy's shoulder a silent request for him to let her in.

When he had moved aside Rogue walked into the centre of the circle and turned toward the metal man.

"Your family's safe." She told him simply

"They should be arriving soon." Koa said looking at her watch.

Colossus stared at the two females in front of him. Then he turned to Gambit.

"No more talk, Remy I will come with you and if I am welcome I will join the X-men." Colossus said standing tall.

Pyro looked between Gambit and the grinning Colossus "Don't even think about leaving me behind mates, I'm coming." He said

"Well then it's all settled." Remy said business like "Let's go you never know what kind of bad people there are in places like this." He continued as a bad joke seeing how everyone here had a bad record.

At the moment Pyro and Colossus were considered terrorists. Remy was still a thief no matter what anyone else said. Rogue had once been a brotherhood member and still pushed people away giving her the title as a cold person. And Kao well she went around drinking people's blood to live, enough said.

Selene looked out over the grounds searching for any sign that Kao and the other had returned from their mission of recruiting the other acolytes. Michael sat behind her using human mediation so that no one would be injured.

He opened one of his eyes to peek over at his girlfriend; she was in the same spot looking over the balcony at the grounds below. He sighed and closed his eyes.

Selene moved around restlessly what was taking them so long. Usually Selene wouldn't be so nervous but she had to be in this case. Selene had argued about the prof. decision to let Kao, Rogue and Remy go on their own. The prof. took it that Selene was worried about her cousin but that wasn't the only reason. Kao was different then the others if only they were among vampires then Kao would be safe. But Selene had given up that chance when she had fallen in love with a lycan turned Hybrid.

Kao didn't want the others to know about her about the prophecy it was a secret and none were to know about it. Then again a lot rided on Kao's shoulders not only the prophecy but if the elders were to die all power fell to Kao. She knew this, every vampire and lycan knew this, but Kao didn't want that power; not now.

So she hid from the world of vampires. And as she ran a power struggle came about powerful vampire fighting for the chance to rule and there began another war. One between vampires and lycans and another between powerful vampires. She turned her back on the grounds and decided to try and see them in her mediation. She had to be sure that Kao was alright at the moment the young vampire was in charge since all the vampire elders were dead and that was something that could be very dangerous.
