Sorry about this chapter, I kinda decided to add a few cliffhangers in here. Well, enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in here, I've tried to buy them with the few pennies I have, but they laughed at me. So until then I own nothing.
Jean and Scott had exited the hotel only a few minutes ago and were enjoying the fresh air. Scott had an arm wrapped around Jean's waist as she leaned her head against his chest. She felt much more at ease since he had sworn to her he only cared for her and not Emma.
"It's so beautiful here." Jean whispered to him. He smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head.
"Not as beautiful as you are." He told her. She smiled as she leaned further into his chest.
"Where do you think Magneto would hide? Like you said earlier, if he was here he would have made his move by now. Maybe his lackeys are here, but not him." Jean suggested to him. Scott nodded.
"That's what I've been thinking. Why would they take their time? They would have already attacked. When we get back, I am going to call the Professor and see if he can track them down again." He said to her as they turned the corner and came face to face with Bobby.
"Bobby, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hotel." Scott told the younger man as he released Jean. Bobby shrugged.
"I was getting bored in there, so I decided to take a walk. Is there anything wrong with that?" He asked the couple.
"No, but please tell someone before you leave." Jean told him.
"I would have come back, it's not like anything could happen to me. Besides, if I got attacked I could freeze them." Bobby said as he leaned against the wall.
"Until we know for sure Magneto is not here for sure, we want everyone to check in with us. What would you of done if you were ambushed?" Scott scolded the younger man for his foolishness.
"Well Storm and Wolverine left without checking in with you." Bobby countered Scott.
"Yes, but they went together, not by themselves." Scott said to him. He sighed. "Come along with us, until we get to back to the hotel."
"Fine." Bobby huffed as he straightened up. Jean and Scott started down the walkway he had just entered from. He turned around to watch them walk. A smile crept on his face as his eyes flashed yellow.
"Whatever you say." Mystique whispered as she followed behind them disguised at Bobby.
Back at the Hotel- Lobby
Remy and Rogue had decided to take a walk around the hotel since they couldn't leave it. Logan had warned them earlier before he left with Ororo that they were supposed to stay in the hotel, or he would skin Remy alive.
"So, what is it exactly y' people do?" Remy asked her. She had mentioned she was part of a group called the X-Men. He had heard the guy with glasses say something about it, but didn't know what he was talking about.
"We're a group of mutants that help other mutants. We live in a mansion, well it is actually a school that teaches mutants how ta use their powers. We've saved the world a few times since Ah joined. Who knows how many times it was saved by them before Ah joined." Rogue answered.
"And y' have one of those leather uniforms Gambit saw de hair man wear?" He asked her raising an eyebrow.
"Everyone in the group gets one when ya join." She answered him.
"Gotta model dat for moi later on." He winked down at her, causing her to blush. They saw Emma exit the elevator and started heading for the exit, but not before running into them.
"Oh, hello, what was your name again? It must have slipped my mind." Emma greeted the Southern couple.
"It's Rogue." She answered the blonde.
"I wasn't talking for your codename, what was your real name again? You do not need to be rude with me." Emma rolled her eyes at her.
"If Ah won't tell mah name ta most of the people back home, what makes ya think Ah'm tell ya mah name?" Rogue countered her. She really didn't like this woman's attitude toward her.
"Whatever." Emma said as she looked over at Remy, who was glaring at her. "And your Gambit, am I correct?" She asked him.
"Oui, dat I am." He answered her. 'What is with dis woman, I'm gettin' really bad vibes off her.' He thought to himself.
"Well I have things I need to do. I'll see you darlings later. Ta, ta." She turned away from them and began walking away from them.
"She rude, ain' she." Remy said as he looked down at Rogue.
"Yeah, Ah don't know why she is even here. She was supposed ta give us information, but it doesn't seem ta be right. Mostly all Ah've seen her do is go after Mr. Summers." She told him.
"Well, mebbe. If we lucky she won' come back, or better yet, a piano will fall from a window and hit her." He suggested. Rogue chuckled at his comment. He took her bare hand in his and kissed it. "Shall we go somewhere else, chere?" He asked her.
"Sure, Ah think Ah wanna change. Ah don't like this shirt." She answered him.
Downtown Paris
"Why don't we go back to the hotel and call, darlin?" Logan asked Storm as they stopped at a payphone.
"I don't want to disturb Jean and Scott. It will only take a minute. I want to make sure the Professor knows the kids have a test today." She answered him as she started dialing.
"You're a cruel woman." He told her with a chuckle.
"I'm sure you will find out how cruel I can be later." She winked at him as the Professor answered.
"Hello, thank you for calling-" Xavier began to say, but Ororo stopped him before he could continue.
"-Hello Professor, this is Storm." She said into the phone.
"Ah, it is good to hear from you. I was thinking about giving a call down there." The Xavier told her. Ororo raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Something felt very wrong.
"I forgot to tell Scott this yesterday when he talked to you." She was about to tell him about the test.
"You must be mistaken. I did not speak with Scott yesterday." He said to her. Ororo looked at Logan before she continued.
"But we were there when he talked to you. Your friend Emma called you and then Scott spoke with you." She told him.
"I do not have a friend named Emma, what was her last name?" The Professor asked in a worried tone.
"Frost." She answered.
"Oh my, this is not good. One of the reasons I had wanted to speak with one of you was because I had found out Magneto had hired a woman named Emma Frost. I do not know if she has joined his Brotherhood or not, but you must be cautious. You must warn Scott and the others of her and get away from her. I am sure Magneto won't be far behind." He warned her.
Ororo raised a hand over her mouth. "They are back at the hotel with her. I will speak with you later Professor, thank you for the information." She said to him as she hung up. Logan was standing there, waiting to hear what had made her so uneasy.
"What is it, darlin?" He asked her as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"He said he didn't talk with Scott yesterday and that Emma is working for Magneto." She responded as Logan growled.
"Damnit, we left the kids back there. We gotta go." He said as he took her hand as she took off into the air. They hoped they would be able to make it back before anything happened. Unfortunately, they wouldn't.
Roof of the Hotel
Bobby stood on the roof of the hotel overlooking the city deep in thought. "It's not fair. This wasn't supposed to happen." He whispered to himself. His time with Kitty hadn't been that long. He liked her, and didn't know how to tell her he was still with Rogue. He didn't want to tell Rogue he was cheating on her. He hoped everyone in the end would just work out.
He pounded his fist into the cement of the wall. Now he had lost Rogue, and Kitty would most likely find out about it, leaving him with no one. "I should have never lead her on." He said to himself as he heard the door to the roof open.
He sighed. He came up here to be alone, he didn't want to deal with anyone right now. 'Might as well go back to the room. Hopefully those two have left.' He thought to himself as he heard a clicking nose of a lighter click open and then close. He turned around to see an old friend standing behind him.
"Long time no see, Drake." Pyro smirked as he clicked open his lighter again. A flame appeared as he smirked at Bobby. "Let's solve that little question: can ice within stand fire?"
Inside the Hotel
"So after dis y' want to go get some lunch? Remy thought he saw a café in de hotel." He asked her.
Rogue put a finger to her lips like she was thinking about it. "Sounds like fun." She smiled at him as she opened the door to the women's room. Remy followed her in.
"Mebbe after dat we could go out somewhere. I know of de best places in Paris." He told her as she looked through a bag for a new shirt to put on.
"We'll have ta ask Scott or Logan when they come back. Otherwise, Ah'd love ta go with ya." She smiled at him.
"Gee, that does sound like fun." They heard a growl from the back of the room. Rogue threw the shirt down and quickly went to Remy's side. Remy pulled out his bo staff and held it protectively in front of Rogue and himself as Sabertooth stalked closer to them.
