OoOoOoOo Chapter 6 OoOoOoOo
"Where they hell should we be looking?" Brain asked as Brandon and himself walked a couple feet away from the jet.
"I don't know but our parents will probably be back any minute now so we better do something quick.."
"Like?"
"TIME FREEZE!" Brandon yelled while his hands went up and stretched in front of him. When he opened his eyes everything was quiet and he turned to look at his brother who had a foot in the air about to put it down and his mouth was opened as he was speaking.
"That's a good look for you," Brandon mumbled to him and tapped him on the shoulder making his look a like snap out of the time freezing spell.
"What the…" Brain said as he started falling.
"I stopped time…it won't last long so do your stuff," Brandon told him looking around. Brain nodded and I a blink of an eye zoomed past his twin ready to look all over the place. After a bout a minute Brandon heard Brain yelling for a him a couple of yards away. When he got there he found the two little people they were looking for. Both had a lolly pop in their hands raising it to be put it in their mouths.
"Okay…un freeze time," Brain told his brother, Brandon snapped his finger ending the time spell. Anna and Christina blinked and looked around.
"Ey' wen did you get here…" Christina asked in her tiny voice.
"CHRISTINA MAXIMOFF WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT!" Brain yelled and ignored her question.
Brandon ignored his twin and looked at the Popsicles they had, "Tina…where did you get those?" he asked making her stop wincing at Brain and look at the older sibling.
"De purtty ladie gave em to us…"
"What lady?"
"Da lady in black," Anna answered looking around as if wanting to point her out but there was nothing there.
"Don't put that in your mouth," Brandon snapped taking then candy from Christina and then doing the same to Anna. "Come on before you two get us in big trouble," he told them nodding for them to walk ahead of him back towards the jet.
"Why did you take them away?" Brain asked his brother as they walked a couple feet away.
"Cause…mom wouldn't give Tina candy this early in the morning…and if I remember correctly…she didn't have candy with her…"
"So?"
"So who knows where the hell they got this from…" he answered his eyes scanning the area around them, his ice blue eyes narrowed at not being able to understand where the treats had come from.
OoOoOoOo 2nd underground floor OoOoOoOo
X-23's eyes flashed dangerously around.
"What?" Rogue whispered as Lexa looked up at the ceiling.
"…Nothing…" she answered after a while and soon after there was nothing but silence.
"THIS IS BORING AND POINTLESS!" Wanda broke the silence and had her yell echo thought out the abounded base.
"Shh Luv…you never know if anyone else is here," John told her and looked around cautiously.
"Don't you think if there was someone here, Lex would have found their scent already?" Pietro asked rolling his eyes at his in law.
"Dats true…also if dere was someone 'ere why 'avent dey attack us?" Remy asked sneakily walking behind everyone and scaring them by showing up out of nowhere.
"Stop doing THAT!" John yelled at him making the Cajun laugh. Pietro shook his head at them, "Kids," he mumbled.
"Hey we're not the ones with teenage hormones," John countered.
Pietro smirked, "And having teenage hormones is bad why?" John opened his mouth to answer but then closed it and looked thoughtful wondering if they was a down side to it.
"Can yah morons shut up?" Rogue asked as she and the other were trying to keep going with some silence.
"Y' tell 'em chere," Remy told her proudly.
"Ah was talkin tah yah too," Rogue told him making the smirk on his face disappear.
After a while Rogue sighed and kept walking through some of the corridors, as she looked around memories of their first meetings flashed through her head. The darkness that surrounded them, the pleasure of knowing that they would be the best, feelings they had had at the tender age of 16 came back for seconds at a time as the walked through the different rooms.
"Wanda's right…we're just wasting our time here," she murmured as they headed back towards the entrance.
"Well…at least we weren't at the X-mansion taking orders from anybody," Pietro remarked not liking the idea of being bosses around by Scott or Jean.
"Yeah…being here beats getting crowded by our 'parent' figures," Rogue answered remembering how Raven had acted with her and the kids when they had arrived, sugary sweet but Rogue wouldn't fall for anything that women would say ever again.
"Come on…they aren't that bad anymore," Lexa told them only to get glared at. She and wolverine had smoothed things over so she really didn't care about hating him.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Funny how some things didn't change at all…but others did," she mumbled looking at Lexa who glared at her at the moment.
"Can yah guys just shut up? You're giving meh a headache," Rogue told them.
"Remy thinks it's time to go," Remy whined.
"Why?" Pietro asked.
"cause we 'aven't found anything and we've been 'ere a while…I dink it's ok to say Sinisters not 'ere."
"Mates gotta point," John remarked and stretched.
"Fihne fihne yah bunch of whiners lets go," Rogue replied annoyed. Wanda shook her head and turned to start walking back but noticed X-23 looking ahead and stiff as stone.
"Lex?" she asked getting no reaction from her. Wanda looked over down at the empty hall X-23 was very focused on.
"What is it?" Rogue asked walking over to the dark skinned girl. X-23 didn't answer but at the moment she started running right into it.
"Lexa?" Pietro called out and soon caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
"Let me go Pietro!"
"No, what the hell is wrong?" he asked keeping a firm grip on her as she kept trying to get away.
"She's here," Lex answered and looked at Rogue.
"Who's here?" Rogue asked her eyes narrowing, all of the walked towards Pietro and Lexa but then stooped as they heard the noise. It sounded like nails on chalk board, the sound piercing through out the large base. Rogue involuntary felt a shiver down her spine while Wanda grew Goosebumps at the sound.
"Deathstrike…" Wanda mumbled while Lexa nodded and still tried to get away from Pietro. He reluctantly let her go and watched as the three girls walked at a fast pace towards where the sound was coming from. Right when they got to the place where it seemed the sound was coming from around the corner the light black out leaving them in the dark. Lexa gave a yelp making Pietro feel his way around to find her.
"What is it?" he asked as he touched a shoulder.
"Uh…Wrong person homme," Remy told him taking his hand off his shoulder.
"Whoops," Pietro said felling around in the dark again as John laughed. He felt a hand grab him.
"Why'd you scream?" he asked knowing it was Lexa.
"Cause…it caught me by surprised," she answered hotly.
"Who turned the lights out?" Wanda asked annoyed.
"Dunno…but the noise is gone." Rogue told her.
"Oui…" Remy answered as the lights started flickering on and off then permanently staying on.
"She's gone…" Lexa mumbled as she looked around and her senses were at full alert. As soon as the words left her mouth the screens in all the rooms turned on making Rogue and Wanda jump at the surprise.
"What the…" Wanda started but stopped when she looked at what the screens were playing.
"Its…" Lexa started but got interrupted by Rogue.
"Us." Lexa mutely nodded and looked at the screen which held them at the tender age of 16. The screens were glowing with images of them when they were barley starting out, training sessions with Deathstrike and White Queen. They watched as the sound on the screens became loud and aloud them to hear what they were saying…
OoOoOoOo TV Screens OoOoOoOo
"To be the best…the greatest you must works as a team," Emma told them while walking back and forth as they stood in a line.
X-23 was impatiently tapping her foot and rolled her eyes. Elisabeth blew a bubble and popped it making it big 'pop' echo threw the room. Wanda was staring at a wall while Rogue looked at Deathstrike who was preparing them for their first training session.
"To work together you must trust each other…without no trust there is no way of winning…"
"What exactly are we even fighting for?" Rogue asked turning to look at the older woman.
"We're her to do Sinisters biddings…whatever they maybe…if you're are going to doubt doing anything we suggest you leave now…however it is uncertain if you will leave alive," Deathstrike answered. The young girls looked at her a bit surprised at her coldness.
"Gee…so glad that the people here are friendly," Rogue muttered sarcastically getting a small smirk from X-23. It was the first time she had shown emotion since they had been there which had been a two days.
"You all have great potential…that's why you're here. Because you've got what it takes to dominate…now it's your choice if you really want to stay here…but like Yuriko said…it's not guaranteed that you'll make it out of here alive…whether you stay OR leave…"
"Well?" Deathstrike asked walking next to White Queen as both faced them.
"Ah thought ah'd made it clear that I was staying…after all I did pass that test Sinister gave meh," Rogue answered.
"Sinister has something I want," X-23 answered her face going stoic once again. Wanda nodded and answered, "I'm staying" while Betts smiled at Emma knowing she knew what her answer was.
"Very well…welcome to the ministry…"
"What's that? The gay name of Sinisters group?" X-23 asked, the others looking at her in surprised since it was her first time talking.
"No…it's jus yours," Emma answered knowing that the young girl was going to be hard to train with her attitude, but then again seemed to have attitude.
"Great…then it's just our gay name," she replied getting a glare from Deathstrike who wasn't liking the younger girls confidence.
"Think of it what you want but that is now what you are…"
"Whateva…what now? Do we get fancy badges or sumthing?" Rogue asked joining with X-23 to show that their joining was almost 'forced'.
Emma sighed, 'I'm gonna be growing wrinkles before I should' she thought as she looked at them. "No you'll stat training tomorrow morning…be prepared. The first session you'll have is just to prove how powerful you really are…we suggest you start getting to know each other since you'll be spending a lot of time together," she told them dismissing them by giving a small nod when she finished. They walked out of the room and towards the rooms they had been assigned to by Morph.
"Tell me why we're doing this again?" Yuriko asked.
"Cause it was Sinisters orders…"
"Did he have to give us such smart mouths?"
"No…but you never know…sometimes that trait is a good thing," Emma answered and soon walked out the room herself to report to Sinister.
OoOoOoOo static OoOoOoOo
"That was…weird," Lexa mumbled as she stared at the fizzing screen a couple of feet away.
"Wow…you guys were bitchy even at that age?" John asked only to get elbowed by Wanda.
"Some habits die hard," Rogue answered while wondering why Deathstrike had activated the screens to show this. She was about to open her mouth to say something else but was stopped with the static on the TV stopped and went back showed another base.
OoOoOoOo TV OoOoOoOo
(17 year old MoE)
"Well congratulations, I'm glad to say that…" Emma stopped not knowing how to phrase it.
"You've made us…proud…Sinister is proud," Deathstrike told them. They all looked smirked knowing that they deserved the praise.
"Girls gotta do what a girls gotta do," X-23 remarked while running a hand through her brown hair which held new blue streaks.
"Yes well…you guys did what you had to do…"
"Is this you're way of telling us we've graduated or something?" Wanda asked. Yuriko smiled at this shook her head.
"Oh no…that year was just kids play…" she answered devilishly. "We think you're ready to play with the big kids now," she answered and as she did the doors to their training room opened to show half a dozen people.
Elisabeth looked at every single one of them, she had seen them before hanging around the bases but none of them really ever talked. The guys were to creepy looking and the girl looked like a total slut.
"Meet the Nasty Boys and Vertigo…you'll be battling with them today to prove to us how much you've improved…" Emma told them looking at all the mutants in the room carefully.
"Are yah sure we're still not doing 'kids play'?" Rogue asked as she looked at them.
"Believe it…this groups is Sinisters best group…unless others can surpass them," Yuriko answered with a confident smile looking at the for girls who were wearing sweat pants and tank tops.
X-23 smirked as she shared a look with Wanda. They both then looked at Betts who just held her attention to the opposition. They turned to them too and waited for what they knew would come out of Rogue's mouth…
"Then what the fuck are we waiting fohr?" as soon as the southern drawl vanished both groups ran towards each other, as they made contact the screen went into a bright light and showed another clip of the past.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Why exactly are we moving?" Rogue asked before attacking her food.
"Sinister thinks you're ready to go on real important missions. Play time's over," she said giving them all serious eye contact.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
(As the TV changed scenery Rogue closed her eyes knowing the scene that was going on in front of them and knowing the screams that would follow soon from their old 'new' looks. She shared a look with Wanda who was looking at the haircut the image inducer had given her with great dislike)
"Come on. Go look at yourselves even if you don't want," Deathstrike said nudging them all downstairs. The four went into the living room and made their way towards the big mirror over the couch. When they all saw their reflections…they screamed.
"Are we gonna be stuck like this forever?" Lexa asked pulling on her hair.
"No you big baby," Emma said taking her watch off and letting her look back into the mirror to find her regular appearance.
"They're only illusions," Deathstrike added.
"Oh, then why does it feel so real?" Wanda asked while checking out her hair, which went up to her ears.
"Because in order for others to believe it's real it must look and feel real," Emma answered her question.
"Oh I get it," Elizabeth said.
"So we can't leave the house looking like our selves, we have to look like this?" Rogue asked.
The White Queen nodded at her.
(The guys mouth opened as the recognized the looks the girls had and remembered that that was the way they looked when they first had met)
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
(The screens changed once again. X-23 looked at it closely remembering the feeling she had had that day…the great feeling of superiority)
"Please…have mercy." X-23's fist stopped right in front of his eyes; she looked at him and then tilted her head to the side.
"Mercy…sorry that's not in my vocabulary," seconds after she said that there was a 'Snikt' and no more talk from him.
(Quick static and change of scene)
A dark girl with intense blue eyes looked straight into the camera and smirked. She then did what sounded like a whistle to them and watched as the other three young ladies walked towards them. The girl who had bluish black hair backed away from the camera and gave view to the other girls.
One with dark purple hair looked like she was walking through the air as she floated up and looked at the camera. The one dressed in red threw her hand at two light polls and they came to life lifting her up around the waist to get her in better view. The last one crossed her arms from the ground and slowly seems to fly up into a better camera view.
"Hello…X-men," the violet haired one spoke.
"I'm Psylocke…and we're here to give you a message," she smiled evilly. Before she could say anything else the one with midnight hair disappeared. The three watched her leave.
Psylocke kept talking and said, "That's Rogue and that's…"
"I can say my own name," the girl with short shoulder length hair and red tips said looking at the purpled haired girl.
"Then say it," came the southern drawl next to her.
"Scarlet Witch," she said now looking very annoyed. X-23 returned but came with something else. It was a body…a police officers body…and his eyes looked like they were dug out of his eyes sockets. She put her fingers on his cheeks and squished them together so they could open.
"Mercy," she said in a deep voice. While moving the lips. She then looked at the camera, "What is Mercy?" she asked in a light voice and then without hesitation she let the body drop with a big 'Thud' on the ground.
"That's X-23...anyway you know in life…there's a time to stand and fight," Psylocke said.
"And then there's a time to run and hide," X-23 spat out.
"We suggest…" Scarlet Witch continued.
"You run," Rogue finished and her eyes seem to have an evil glint in them. After saying the officer's body seemed to float back up to where the camera was. Psylocke raised her hand towards it psychic knives were thrown into it, the body started glowing blue and flew to the background and hit the floor hard. They all smirked as they heard the big 'Thud'. While that happened something went 'snikt' and two claws popped out of X-23's hands, Scarlet Witch's hands turned a darker blue and the head of the light polls started to face the camera and hiss as if they were snakes. Rogue just looked at the camera, her face seemed to be getting closer to it but far enough to still see the chaos the others were making. Without warning her fist came up and threw a punch at the camera…seconds later there was nothing but static…
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
X-23 was outside in the backyard sitting down under a tree her back leaning on it. It was dark and cold…She took a deep breath and both her hands went up to her head and went through her midnight hair
…
Wanda was in her room, her body in the middle of the bed and she was looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes, which would usually be cold and full of anger after battles were surprisingly, empty looking. Wanda bolted straight up on her bed…she really was feeling sick and she did feel like throwing. She ran to her bathroom and the door shut behind her…
…
Rogue was sitting on the floor with her back leaning on her bed; in her arms was an acoustic guitar. She was interrupted by a cell phone ringing. Rogue turned to look at the hunter green phone…Remy had given it to her…it was their private line. He was the only one that had the number…they had decided to do it like that so no one would ever interrupt them by wanting to use the phone. She reluctantly picked it up…A solitary tear fell down her cheek as the cell phone hit the wall across her…breaking in half and leaving a dent in the wall.
(Remy eyes widened as he recognized the cell phone…and suddenly the memories of the past went through his head. As if it had all happened the day before…)
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Dat was de day…" he said out loud having everyone look at him as the screens went back to a static position.
"What day?" Pietro asked his eyes still focused on the tv, the look on Lexa's face as she sat leaning on the tree playing over and over in his head. She looked so hurt, he wondered what it was that had gotten her to look like that.
"Dat was de day…at de museum…" Remy mumbled and looked at Rogue who avoided eye contact with him. "Dat was me who called…"
"Yeah…" Rogue answered in a daze while Lexa rubbed her face with her hands.
"What the hell is she playing at?" Wanda asked thinking about Deathstrike, as if she had heard the screens turned back on only to show a smug looking Deathstrike.
"You can change your team…you can change your looks," she told them making the girls feel as if she was right there in front of them talking. "…but…you can't change who you are…or the evilness that runs through your veins…remember that," she ended making the screen suddenly flash and show many scenes of them training and that first major mission where they has destroyed Sefton Enterprises.
Wanda looked at it all curiously, Lady Deathstrike's voice repeating the words she had just said over and over again. Rogue's mouth opened to say something but before she could a low noise was heard making Lexa who was standing ext to her snap her head to the side only to see something that she wish was an illusion.
The kids stood there a couple feet away, all of them looking at the screens. Odile and Nikki looking the most startled as the scene with X-23 and the cop came up again.
Rogue groaned as she looked at them while Wanda mumbled a small 'shit'. Lexa on the other had her eyes narrow and turn to the screen, with a quick movement that proved she had had some training with Quicksilver her fist hit the screen in front of her at the same time her claws came out. With a couple of sparks coming out of the broken television screen the others screens playing the small clips started turning off like if hitting the first one had caused a chain reaction.
"That BITCH!" Lexa yelled and as the last computer screen went blank, the power turned of leaving the parents alone with the shocked children…everything engulfed by darkness.
OoOoOoOo minutes later OoOoOoOo
Lexa had a pen in between her fore fingers and she kept twirling it around and around between her fingers. She was walking ahead of everyone else and everything was quiet. No one spoke unless they weren't sure if they were walking in the right direction to the exit. Pietro was walking close behind being a little thankful that none of his kids were there. Then again they were obviously going to find out that their mother was an evil murder, and since they weren't their to witness it meant they would be telling them.
John and Wanda were walking on the sides of the group, Wanda noticed that Chris, Ben and Nikki kept giving her side glances as if asking silently asking if that was really her they saw on the screens. She put her face forward to avoid the question, for now at least. John had his lighter up above his head, the thoughts in his head were that hi flame thrower would be a big help right now.
Rogue and Remy were at the end of the group. Their kids walking a couple feet in front of them and the familiar sound of 'shuffle shuffle' of cards. Rogue turned to look at Remy but noticed he wasn't the one doing the shuffling, her next guess was Odile who was the only other Lebeau that always carried cards with her.
"Stop it," Pierre told her making her look up at him. "Y're annoying people," he told her. Instead of listening though she rolled her eyes at him and shuffled the cards faster making the sound increase in volume and in speed.
"Odile," Remy told her in a stern voice making her stop. A couple of minutes later they found the exit and went outside to where the X-jet awaited them with two silver haired teenagers in front of it.
Nikki blinked and remembered why she had urged them to come back up. "What was it?" she asked them.
Before they could answer Lexa's eyes traveled around the ground getting narrowed. She walked up to her twin and grabbed the lolly pops which were still in Brandon's hands.
"Where's Christina?" she asked looking intently at the candy.
"Inside the jet."
"Where did she get this?" she demanded.
"What is it Lex?" Rogue asked.
Lexa ignored her looked up into Brandon's eyes. "She said she got it from a Lady wearing black…"
"That stupid whor…"
"Lexa?"
"Deathstrike got to Anna and Christina," she answered and quickly walked into the jet to look for the little girls closely being followed by Rogue who was now wearing a pissed off expression.
Wanda looked surprised and looked at the rest of the teenagers, "What the hell were you guys thinking leaving here?" she asked in a not very happy tone.
"We wanted to see if we could have been any help, why you didn't want us to find out about your dark secret?" Ben asked in a lighter but similar tone.
Wanda stayed quiet for a couple of seconds, "No…one of their main people was here and if Anna or Tina had been the chosen one WHAT THEN? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT SHIT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN?" she asked the 16 year old. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING LEAVING THE 8 YEAR OLDS WITH 'NO' POWERS ALONE?" She yelled at him and the others before quickly walking inside to make sure everything was ok with Matthew and the other kids.
"She's gotta point," John told them following her.
"We didn leave Y' here cause of dere secret…y' were gonna fin out 'ventually…we left you 'ere cause we knew that if anything went wrong y'd be strong enough to protect de oders…maybe dis was our fault by puttin so much trust in y'," Remy remarked walking into the jet having half of the teenagers lower their heads to look at the ground. Pietro stood with them for a couple of minutes, finally she started walking into the jet as well giving them a "let's go" behind his shoulder. The reluctantly and slowly followed.
Inside Rogue and Lexa were talking to Anna-Marie and Christina.
"Okay so what's the new rule?" Rogue asked them.
"No talkin tah strangers," Anna answered getting a smile from her mom.
"That's right, you got that?" Lexa asked Christina who nodded eagerly.
"C'est tres bon," Remy told Anna who smiled at her dad.
"Lets head back," Pietro told them after making sure all the teenagers got on the jet.
"Yeah, looks like we'll have something important to talk about," Wanda answered looking out the window of where she was sitting. John was next to her with Matt leaning on of their legs between them.
"What did you find mama?" he asked.
"A big Rat," was the only thing she said and stayed quiet.
"I she talking about us or the woman named Deathstrike?" Odile asked Chris as they sat down in their spots.
"Dunno…hopefully not us…I don't like being called a rat," he answered and brought out a black beanie and put down low on his orange hair. Odile nodded and looked out her window, seconds later she felt something fall on her lap and looked to see that Chris had offered her his CD player. She smiled and put the head phones over her ears, while wondering what to think about the secret her mom had kept from all of them.
"Did you see that coming?" Etienne asked Nikki who shook her head.
"No…but I do see something happing," she answered smiling and looking over at Chris and Odile. Etienne followed her gaze.
"Do ah wanna know?"
"Since you're a guy…no," she answered wisely and sank deep into her seat.
"Nough said," he answered and sank into his seat as well. Behind them Ben and Pierre were talking in hushed voices, the rest of the kids enjoyed the movie that was playing and thanked the lord that Lexa had picked the movie and it wasn't as bad as Barney.
OoOoOoOo X-mansion OoOoOoOo
Remy landed the X-jet in the hanger and stretched after turning it off. The kids eagerly got out having gotten tired of sitting down for a long amount of time. Rogue got up and was about to get off when Wanda softly called her name.
"What?" she asked.
"Look," she answered and pointed. Wanda and Rogue smiled as John and Remy looked too. John had a sly smile on his face while Remy's eyes narrowed and flashed.
"Told ya," Nikki told Etienne as they walked off. Ben and Pierre also looked, Ben rolled his eyes while Pierre mimicked his father expression and threw the 'evil eye' at Chris.
"AWWWWW…we're gonna be in laws," John told them all. Chris was sleeping in the seat slouching while Odile's head rested on his shoulder, the ear phones were now being unused on her lap . Rogue and Wanda couldn't help but smiled while John thought 'That's my boy'. Remy on the other hand looked like he was ready to go in for the kill.
"Should we wake them up?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah…we can't leave them here," Rogue answered.
"'ere let Remy wake 'em up," Remy told them and started walking towards them only to be grabbed by Rogue and dragged out of the large jet.
"Chris," John called to him smiling, the boy stirred but didn't wake. Wanda waited as John tried calling him a couple of more times. Finally getting fed up her hands turned blue and her hand rose towards the two teenagers. The CD player in Odile's lap started glowing blue and within seconds a loud rock noise blared out of the head phones which near both their ears. The both jumped up at the loud noise and accidentally banged their heads together. When they looked up they saw John laughing at them while Wanda just shook her head and walked out.
Chris and Odile looked at each other and suddenly blushed at how close they were. Chris quickly got up and walked out while his dad gave him a wink, Odile looked a little startled but soon followed without saying a word or even looking at Pyro.
Rogue was barley going to enter the X-men rec room when Elisabeth quickly walked out and almost bumped into her.
"There you are luv, we've been waiting for you. Did you find anything?" she asked not wanting to get into her head and find out.
"Get all the adults together, we're having a meeting," Rogue answered and walked away looking like she was heading to the professors office. Betts looked after her but didn't move until rogue said , "now" behind her shoulder. Nodding not caring that Rogue hadn't noticed Betts closed her eyes and gave a telepathic message to everyone she could find.
OoOoOoOo Rec Room OoOoOoOo
Odile and Chris walked into the room to find that all the other kids where there sitting. Nikki and Etienne looked at each other than at them and smiled. Pierre glared at Chris while Ben patted him on the back feeling his pain.
"Wat's goin on?" Odile asked them out loud and took a seat next to Caitlin and Rachel who were sitting on a long couch.
"We don't know…but I just got a message from Psylocke that stated all adults go to the professors office," Rachel answered and took her time to admire Brandon who was listening but looking at Victoria.
"I bet it concerns us." Ben spoke up when things got silence.
"Yea but what can we do about it?" Brain asked looking at Rachel with pity since his brother didn't notice her.
"What do you mean what can we do…we need…I don't know a way to find out what their saying…" Ben answered half talking to himself.
"Well Einstein, we're waiting," Odile told him as some of the younger mutants looked at him impatiently.
OoOoOoOo Prof. X- Office OoOoOoOo
"What happened? Did you find something? Is this why we're having the secret meeting?" jean blurted out a thousand questions as she walked in.
"Secret? Puleeze…who wants to bet the kids know we're up here?" Lexa asked shaking her head in an annoyed matter. Everyone talked for a while until Rogue finally got tired of all the noise and hit her hand on the professors desk making a small dent in it.
The professor who was next to Logan winced a little but decided that it was to late now. Next to Wolverine stood Storm, intently looking at Rogue wondering what was going on.
"Finally someone shut them up." Everyone looked at Magneto who had spoken with Mystique standing next to him in human form.
"Just what I was thinking," she muttered getting a couple of glares.
"ANYWAY…what's up luv?" Betts asked as the room got silent.
"He knows we're here…and he knows we're looking…"
"What? How do you know?" Emma asked looking thoughtful by the news.
"Yuriko was at the base…" Lexa answered with a far away look in her eyes.
"Did she attack?"
"Yes…not physically but emotionally…" Wanda answered.
"What do you mean?" Jean asked.
"She got within reach of the younger children…" Rogue answered and looked down at her feet in a thinking position.
"Oh gosh, they're all ok right?" Kitty asked worrying.
"Yeah…she wasn't after them…this was just a warning," X-23 answered.
"So much for a wild goose chase," Lance mumbled.
"What does the warning mean?" Jean asked after a couple minutes of silence.
"He knows we're here…he knows we're looking…we made the first move and his caught on to us," Betts answered running the situation through her head.
"He's gonna…"
"Maybe we should talk about this elsewhere…" Magneto interrupted his daughter getting a glare.
"Why?" Raven asked looking up at him. He eyes traveled across the room, everyone also noticed X-23, Wolfsbane and Wolverine looking around the room in an odd manor. Kitty looked towards the door of the study and noticed a small brown cat sneaking around under the furniture, her eyes narrowed.
"CAITLIN ALVERS YOU'RE IN SOOO MUCH TROUBLE…" as Kitty voice echoed through the silent room the cat quickly made it's way to the opened window making everyone look and catch a small glimpse of white wings. Betts smacked her palm to her forehead and Warren closed his eyes.
"Victoria…" he told Betts.
"yeah…" Rogue's eyes narrowed and she glared at Remy giving him the evil eye as she walked towards the open window and looked outside. Remy sighed and prayed that Etienne, Pierre or Odile where far far away. If they weren't Rogue was going to bitch to him about the fact they were sneaky because of him and Henri who taught them the sly sneaky way that thieves. Rogue looked outside and all around trying to find clues that might have told her certain Lebeau's had been around.
While she was doing that John nudged Wanda getting a 'what' look from her. He pointed above him where an air vent stood, that wasn't the interesting thing though. What was was that a puff of smoke was quickly disappearing into it. Wanda's eyes narrowed as he hands turned blue and as the doors to the office snapped open.
OoOoOoOo Rec Room OoOoOoOo
"Shit…shit shit shit," Odile mumbled quickly walking into the from closely followed by Etienne and Pierre.
"Did you guys get caught?" Ben asked as they almost ran in. As he asked a brown cat ran into the from the window. It stood still but quickly grew and then turned into the oldest Alvers child.
"We're in deep shit…"
"Yeah I covered that," Odile remarked and Victoria flew in through the window.
"maybe they didn't see us all?" Chris asked suddenly appearing.
"Oui…I mean we be de best of de best…Oncle Henri et pere trained us…I tink we good," Pierre told his siblings.
"that's what you think…" all of them froze and looked to the door way. Even the smaller kids who had no idea what was going on turned to the door way.
"Mama!" Anna-Marie yelled as she saw her mother standing in mid air in the door way.
"I knew this was a bad idea, "Nikki muttered.
"How?" Ben asked getting her to roll her eyes.
"I saw it how do you think?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Cause you're to stupid to LISTEN," she answered and they all turned back to Rogue.
"ha ha…Hello belle mere…" Odile answered cheerfully.
"Somethang wrong?" Etienne asked looking at Pierre who was wincing. At the moment the only thing going through his head were curses for being an empath.
"Ah dunno…"
"You tell us?" Wanda finished for her as she appeared behind her being followed by Elisabeth while Rogue brought up a playing card.
"Hear anything to your liking?" Kitty asked phasing through the ceiling and to the side wall to get to the ground.
"Uh…not really…" Chris answered hoping that the truth would make the upset mothers in front of them go easier on them.
"Some kids never learn," Lexa remarked walking up behind Elisabeth and Wanda with an evil smirk. "By they way…just in case you don't get the message…you're in trouble," she told them in laymen's term.
OoOoOoOo Later OoOoOoOo
"Je ne peux pas le croire... comment ils pourrait ha dejadonos aquí!" Pierre yelled and muttered a couple more things in French.
"Uh...Translation?" Jamie asked Odile who was watching her older brother pace back and forth in the rec room. Etienne was sitting next to her with his head in his hands. The other teenage mutants were sitting around in lounge chairs and on the couches also watching the 15 year old Cajun. Near by in one of the corners was Danielle playing "Life" with the younger kids who were ignoring the others.
"He said 'I can't believe it...how could they have left us here'..." Odile answered as he eyeballs followed all of Pierre's moves. "Shit...shit shit shit shit shit shit shit..." she continued as Pierre started murmuring "Merde" over and over again.
"Thanks I get the point," Jamie answered as both Lebeau children kept saying the naughty words that Danielle was trying to distract the kids away from. "Anyway...you guys kinda deserve being left behind...you DID spy on them," Jamie told them matter-a-factly.
"No we didn't," Brandon answered.
"Oh really? You just didn't get caught RED-HANDED!" he answered rolling his eyes.
"Ok so we did but we didn't hear anything we already didn't know," Brain told him.
"But now we're probably missing all the great details and stuff we didn't know," Ben said and sighed disappointedly.
"Well you've only got yourselves to blame..." Jamie answered.
"Do you know where they went?" Nikki asked.
"No and even if I did I wouldn't tell you..."
"Why? Do you want to baby sit a bunch of teenagers?" Caitlin asked.
"No but some of your mothers would kill me if I let you go," Jamie answered looking around paranoid as if waiting for one of them to pop out.
"So Y' knew wat de be capable of?" Pierre asked finally stopping his pacing.
"Who doesn't?" Everyone turned to look at the new voices.
"Obviously they didn't dork," a woman's voice answered
"Obviously..." Bobby Drake answered.
"So tell us again why we're here?" Tabitha asked Danielle who turned to look at her.
"Hey it's not our fault that you two came back from your vacation early and now are stuck here with us and all these other whiners," she answered looking at all the teens.
"So...why did we come back early?" Tabitha asked Bobby.
"Cause you said 'Oh I know…lets surprise everyone at the mansion by going home early!'" he answered in a high pitch voice only to get smacked in the back of the head by the shoulder length blonde.
"Ow what the fu.."
"Shut it, there's children present," Tabitha told him and walked into the room.
"Hmm…women," he mumbled out loud getting a lot of head nodding agreeing with him that women were difficult.
"Pig…" Nikki told Etienne who was nodding as Odile smiled charmingly to Chris who was also nodding only to throw a card at him that missed him by an inch.
"Bien…if we aint getting the answers from out parents then y' answer…" Pierre told Bobby and Jamie after some thinking. The four adults in the room looked at each other then at him and Ben who were standing in the center of the room.
"We'll only answer the questions we think we should tell you," Bobby answered after getting a nod from Tabby.
"Fine," Ben answered with a shrug.
"What do you wanna know?" Jamie asked.
"About the past…our parents past…" Ben answered quietly.
OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo
The jet stopped in the middle of nowhere and soon all the adults walked out.
"This was your great hideout?" Wanda asked her father looking at the nothingness around here.
"No…this is just a place I know we won't be disturbed or spied on…"
"We're in the middle of nowhere…" she argued.
"Exactly," he answered.
"It's cold here," Jubilee whined to Ray as they got off.
"Do you guys think it was a good idea coming? I mean theirs only 4 adults with a bout 2 dozen children," Rahne told everyone.
"Their adults what could go wrong?" X-23 asked.
"Uh…they could be driven to madness since they younger ones might be very annoying," Amara suggested.
"OR they could…" Kitty didn't get to finish since Rogue interrupted.
"They'll be fine, more than half the people there know how to take care of themselves…right now ah think we should be thinking more about Sinister…"
"Right…where did we leave off?" Jean asked.
"Je ne sais pas lets just get this talk over wit," Remy answered looking at Rogue.
"Ah thinks it's safe to say he's gonna attack soon…" Rogue answered and looked at the other MoE members.
"Yeah…either he's gonna attack soon or getting that close to the children was an invitation to go to him…" Lexa answered.
"But we don't even know where he's at…how can that be an invitation…" Wanda asked.
"I dunno!" Lexa answered and drove her fingers through her hair.
"GRR…this is like a big ass chess game," Betts growled out frustrated. At these words Professor Xavier and Magneto looked at each other.
"A chess game…" Eric mumbled.
"They made the first move looking for him…it's Sinister move…" Charles remarked to now on in particular.
"What are they going on about?" Lance asked.
"Got no clue…" Ray answered while Roberto gave the old men weird looks.
"It's like a chess game," magneto replied and looked at both his children, "You made the first move…now it's his turn."
"You don't think?" Storm turned to look at Logan who nodded gravely and then looked at Lexa.
"…He's at the mansion…" Rogue spoke out what everyone was thinking.
OoOoOoOo X-Mansion Gates OoOoOoOo
A large purple portal opened allowing many feet to walk out and stand before the large household.
"When the parents go out of town…the children come out to play…what do you boys say we play with them?" a voice asked in a low voice but everything was quiet enough that she was heard. Her companions smiled, Vertigo looked over to the mansion and smirked as well.
"Lets have some fun…" she told them and started making her way forward.
