Last Time:
Remy, unable to resist her pleading took a bit of the cookie. He chewed it thoughtfully and his eyebrows shot up.
"Dieu," he said. "It is good."
John and Piotr each grabbed a cookie and tasted it, John having the same reaction as the rest of them grabbed as much as he could fit into his hands at one time. Piotr being more mature, just grabbed another cookie.
The girls laughed and they settled down with the guys and continued to watch The Notebook.
Half way into the movie they all fainted simultaneously.
Chapter 31- Mutants?
Chris watched Xavier's beach house from the rear view on the beach. Next to him stood David and Travis, they were all watching the house.
"How long will the powder take to kick in?" said David.
"They should be collapsing…now," said Chris looking at his watch as he did so.
"Let's go then," said Travis, eager to take the girls.
"Okay," said Chris. "Time for some action."
"Literally," said Travis. They all broke into the houses as quietly as they could. Once they got in they saw all the guys and girls in a dead faint on the floor.
"Well done," said David.
"Thanks," said Chris. He went over and picked Kitty up while David and Travis picked Wanda and Rogue up.
"That was a piece of cake," said Travis.
"Yeah, yeah," said David. "Let's just go?"
They went back out the way they came in. They tied the girls' wrists and ankles and put them, still unconscious in the back seats of their van. They climbed in, David driving, Travis shotgun (passenger's side) and Chris in the seat behind Travis, and drove to another house they had about forty minutes away.
"How long will they stay like this?" Travis asked Chris.
"About 75 minutes," said Chris.
"Good," said David as he continued to drive.
(-strawberrie-)
Rogue opened her eyes to find herself on an unfamiliar bed her wrists were tied together to the headboard and her legs were spread and tied to the foot boards.
'Damn, what happened?' she thought. 'All ah remembah is eating those cookies and candies and cupcakes while watching the movie…ugh, the food! Damn Travis!'
She looked around her; the room was mostly bare. She was lying on a queen-sized bed with maroon coverings. All that was in the room was a small closet, a dresser and a desk. There was nothing adorning the white walls. It looked as if the room was never used.
'Looks lahke whoeva took meh doesn't know that ah'm a mutant,' said Rogue as she used Kitty's powers and phased herself out of the bonds.
Just then Travis entered the room. He looked at her surprised.
"How'd you free yourself?" he asked her.
"Why am ah heah?" she replied.
"Because I deserve you and not that lying, cheating redneck," said Travis. In the blink of an eye she had strode across the room and punched him.
"Don't ya evah talk about Remy lahke that," she said.
He backhanded her.
"Don't you ever talk to me like that," he said. Just when Rogue was about to strike back Wanda and Kitty phased into the room.
"Thank God you're here," said Kitty.
"Come on Rogue, let's go," said Wanda. Kitty grabbed Rogue's arm.
Travis stood there in silent shock. "You're mutants?" he asked dubiously.
"No duh," said Kitty.
He turned and glared at Rogue. "This isn't over, freak," he said.
"The hell it's not!" said Rogue. She, Wanda and Kitty started to phase through the floor. "Ah'll show ya wah (why) it's nevah a good ideah ta mess with da Rogue." Rogue finished that end part just as they finished phasing through the floor and out of Travis' sight.
(-strawberrie-)
They ended up in the parlor of an empty house. Like the room Rogue was in, it was bare of anything that would show someone lived in the house.
"Where are we?" asked Kitty.
"Damn, ah shouldha absorbed Travis," said Rogue.
"Do you really want him inside your head?" asked Wanda.
"Good point," said Rogue.
"Let's go already!" said Kitty. They started to walk towards the front door.
"Not so fast," said a voice. They turned to see Chris, David and Travis standing at the foot of the stairs, guns drawn.
"One step and a bullet will go clean through you," said David.
The girls looked at each other and then burst out laughing.
"Shut up!" screamed Travis as he fired at them. All of a sudden the laughter stopped as Rogue used Jean's powers to stop the bullet mid air between the two of them. Then she had it hover slowly to her hand where it gently dropped into her palm. She looked at the guys, and using Magneto's powers she crushed their guns into balls and reshaped them so that one was a playing card, one was shaped to look like fire and the last was a paintbrush. Then she brought them over to her, Kitty and Wanda.
"Do ya think tha guys will lahke them?" asked Rogue, grinning.
Kitty and Wanda smiled evilly. "Of course," they said as they all took their respective "gift" for the guys.
"Bye-bye now," said Kitty as they turned and phased out of the house.
(-strawberrie-)
The girls looked around. They had no idea where they were.
"So what do we do now?" asked Wanda.
They all started to think, since none of them had a cell phone, money, or anyway of getting back without people looking at them strangely for being in their nightclothes.
Rogue sighed, angry with herself. "Duh, Ah'm a mutant with othah mutant's powahs," she said, "Ah really feel stupid."
She grabbed Wanda's hand and touched Kitty and teleported the three of them back to the house.
(-strawberrie-)
"Guys?" asked Kitty when they got there to find an empty house.
"Hello?" said Rogue. "Remy? John? Piotr?"
"They're probably out looking for us," said Wanda. "That's why they're not home."
Rogue and Kitty looked at Wanda. "Did whatevah they put in the cookies make meh dumb as well?" she asked. Wanda opened her mouth. "Don't ansah (answer) that."
Rogue walked upstairs into her and Remy's room.
:Remy: thought Rogue.
:Rogue? Rogue! Where are y'? Tell Remy what it looks like. What can y' see: replied Remy.
:Hmm, let's see, ah'm in a room with an adjoining bathroom. It had two beds, but someone pushed tha beds togetha, so it's now one. There are rose petals here and there, but they're old, as if they've been here foah awhile. Oh! And there's a pack of cards on a desk, in between two laptops, one dark green, and the other black.:
It was silent on Remy's end for a minute, due to him thinking.
:Chere, y're describin' our room.:
:Exactly. We're at home. Come back.:
There was silence on Remy's end again.
:Y; don't need us t' rescue y':
:Nope.:
There was some more silence, as Remy tried to comprehend the information.
:De petite, Wanda and y' are all back:
:Yeah. Come home so we can talk about it:
Rogue didn't hear or feel it, but she knew Remy blinked.
:Alright. Remy'll tell Piotr and John. We're all at Travis and dem's house, lookin' f' clues.:
:Okay, talk ta ya in a minute.:
:Okay:
Rogue ended the mind conversation and went back downstairs to the kitchen, where Wanda was eating a sandwich and Kitty was eating a salad.
"They're comin' over, they were at Travis and them's place," said Rogue.
Rogue got out some Chocolate Caramel ice cream she had bought with the money Remy gave her when she went to pick up his pack of cards and started to eat it.
She had gotten halfway when the guys burst into the house and looked frantically to see Rogue, Kitty and Wanda sitting at the dinner table as if nothing had happened.
The guys ran to their respective girls and kissed them passionately, while checking them for injuries.
They broke away when they ran out of air, but the guys continued to check to see if David and them did anything to their girls.
"We're fine," said Rogue, pushing Remy away slightly. She then stepped into his arms as Wanda and Kitty did the same.
"They couldn't have done anything to us, seeing as we're mutants and they weren't prepared for that," said Kitty.
"Which reminds meh," said Rogue. She turned to look at Remy. "And ya were actin' as if we were damsels that absolutely needed savin' from our boyfriends because?"
Remy looked cornered for a minute and then smiled sweetly. "Remy knew y' had it all under control, mais he wanted t' be there t' help, and make sure y' don't hurt y're beautiful self in anyway," he said.
Rogue smiled at him and patted him on the cheek while the others snickered.
"So what happened?" asked Piotr.
They all sat down and Kitty proceeded to explain what happened, and Rogue and Wanda interrupted a few times to tell their story. They gave the guys their gifts, which they accepted with smirks.
"Bastards," said John when they had finished.
"At least we trashed their house," said Piotr.
The girls' ears perked up. "What'd you do?" asked Wanda, very interested.
"Ya didn't steal anythin' did ya?" asked Rogue.
"Define 'steal'," said Remy.
"Remy," said Rogue.
Remy laughed. "No, Remy didn't steal," he said and then muttered, "Mistrustin' woman," under his breath.
"We burned a couple of things," said John.
"Crushed a couple of things," said Piotr.
"And a few t'ings went boom," said Remy while making little motions with his hands.
"And we used fire…" said John.
"And our fist…" said Piotr.
"And a few exploding pens…" said Remy.
"To write 'Pyro, Colossus and Gambit' into the wall," finished John.
The girls laughed.
"The cops are so going to be after us," said Kitty.
Piotr shrugged. "They have no proof," he said.
"But they know we're mutants, they saw us use our powers," said Kitty.
"Correction," said Remy. "Dey saw y' girls use y'r powers. And y'r powers couldn't have done what we did t' trash deir house."
"Well, mahne could have," said Rogue.
"But they didn't see y' use, dose powers," said Remy. "Dey jus saw y' stop a bullet and make figures with their guns. And dey saw Kitty phase. How could y' cause dat destruction wit y're powers?"
"True," said Kitty.
"And they don't have a solid testimony or whatever," said John. "They never actually saw us use our powers, so they can't say that we did it. They can't even say that we're mutants."
Kitty nodded.
"Let's go to bed," said Wanda. "I'm tired and most likely we've heard the last from the three of them."
Kitty, Wanda, Piotr and John got up and went to their bedrooms. Rogue and Remy stayed behind.
"Come on chere, let's go t' bed," said Remy. Rogue was sitting on his lap, half asleep.
"Carry meh please?" said Rogue sleepily.
Remy smiled, picked her up and carried her to their room. He carefully placed her on the bed and turned out the lights. Then got in bed beside her and pulled her tightly against him.
"Ah love ya Rem," said Rogue.
Remy smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "I love y' too," he said and they both fell asleep.
(-strawberrie-)
Piotr and Kitty were in bed indulging in slow, soft kisses in the darkness.
"Are you positive he didn't hurt you?" Piotr mumbled against her lips.
"Yeah," Kitty murmured. "He can't even touch me."
Piotr half smiled. "True," he said. He moved so that he was on top of her. His lips started to trail up her jaw line, towards her ear, which he bit playfully, and then they went down her neck to the hollow at the base of her throat. His hands caressed her, as if marking their territory on her.
Suddenly he stopped and looked into her eyes. "I love you Kitty," he said.
Kitty pulled his head down so that his lips met hers in a fervent kiss.
"I love you too Piotr," she said when they broke. "And no sex craving, woman-napping psycho is going to change that."
Piotr grinned. "Especially since that sex craving, woman-napping psycho can't do this…" he said.
(-strawberrie-)
John looked down at the sleeping Wanda in his arms.
"I know I couldn't have lost her, she's too strong for that, not to mention she's a mutant, but if that fucked up son of a bitch had done anything to Wanda I would have killed him nine times over," he thought.
Wanda opened her eyes to see John staring at her intently.
"John," Wanda said. "Go to sleep. It's over. Nothing happened."
"But…" said John.
"But nothing," said Wanda she closed her eyes again. "If you hadn't eaten the food then you would have stopped them, even though you did, we had the advantage, them not knowing we're mutants. There was no way we couldn't have come out unharmed."
"Unless they did what they wanted to do with you while you were unconscious," said John.
"But they didn't did they?" said Wanda, her eyes still closed. "And if they did we'd have killed them." She opened her eyes and looked at him. "I love you."
John smiled. "I know," he said. He kissed her. "And I love you too. I just don't want anything happening to you."
"I know," said Wanda. She snuggled up closer to him and closed her eyes. "But nothing will. If, for some reason, I can't use my powers I have you. I'll always have you."
"Damn straight," said John as he wrapped his arms around her and they both fell asleep.
(-no more strawberries-)
Awww. I realized I have had little romance in this ROMANCE story in the past couple of chapters, so I decided to add that little ending. I was originally going to end where Wanda says 'lets go to bed.'
Anyway, John's Surprise is next. Don't get too excited, it's not all that good.
