Ch.7 - The next day
It was nearing noon and the Circus grounds were still quiet. Most were sleeping, exhausted from the previous night of entertaining the masses. Remy walked casually around the trailers hearing just the sound of radios and soft voices. When he reached his destination he straightened his trench coat and knocked quietly on Rogue's door. When Rogue answered she had measuring tape around her heck and a pin cushion in her hand.
"What is it?"
She asked and stepped aside for him to enter. Remy closed the door behind him as he went in.
"Morrnin chere, just came by ta see my favorite Southern bell."
It was then Remy saw Jamie standing in the middle of the trailer on top of a stool in a half made clown outfit.
"Rogue, a pin is sticking into my shoulder."
"Ah'm busy right now, can Ah meet up with you later Remy?"
"Sure thing chere, Ah'll just come back when your not working."
Remy made his way towards the door and paused before leaving.
"Ah be headen over to da food stands, you want anythin?"
Rogue was already measuring Jamie's arm.
"Yea, some fries would be nice."
"Ah see ya in a little bit den, by Jamie."
He left and wandered over to the food section, wile he was paying for the food Wanda ran over to him.
"Remy?"
He waited for her before gathering up his food.
"Yea?"
Wanda ordered a soda before starting.
"Could you do me a favor and come by my trailer tonight."
"What for?"
"There's a kid I want you to meet. I think he's a mutant and that his mutation has to do with his eyes. I thought since your mutation effects your eyes too he might feel better if you were there."
Remy thought about it then nodded.
"Ah'll be there, when do ya want me to show up?"
Wanda was given her soda and she paid for it.
"How dose around eight sound?"
"No problem."
She thanked him then left to go find John, she needed a fire going to cook some of her potions.
Piotr sat on the grass painting a sign that would go above the circus gates, Kitty was helping him.
"Thank you for helping me Katya."
Kitty was across from him on the other side of the sign.
"Like no problem."
They finished painting and stood back to appreciate their work. Piotr has his arm slung over Kitty's shoulders.
"Now we let it dry and then we like hang it up above the gates, it should be done by tonight."
Kitty had a spot of paint on her cheek. Piotr brushed it off for her.
"How about we get something to eat Katya, all this painting has made me hungry."
The two gathered their lunch and sat down together next to the tent.
A little way into the forest John was sitting in a tree. Wanda walked under him as she called out his name.
"John? John, where are you?"
He dropped a pine cone on her head then climbed a little higher to hide in the branches.
"What the? John are you up there?"
She didn't get an answer.
"John if that's you, you have three seconds to come down, 1 2 3."
When he didn't come down she sent hex bolts into the tree. He landed at her feet with a thud.
"Why did ya do that shelia?"
She crouched down to his eyelevel and patted his head.
"Aww, want me to kiss it and make it feel better?"
John smirked and pulled her into his lap.
"All your kisses make me fell better."
He kissed her neck then her cheek and then her lips.
At that moment Beast happened to be walking through the woods looking at the trees and he accidentally came across the two teenagers making out in the middle of the path. He quickly turned around and headed the other way.
Night fell again and everyone was getting ready for their performances, those in the big tent were behind it waiting to go in and doing last minuet warm ups.
"Raine, you're up next."
Rogue had the clipboard and was calling out names.
"I need the Acrobats to be ready in five and the Clowns are after them."
A group of Jamie's rushed buy and one of them tripped only to be caught by the others.
Across the circus grounds Remy was knocking on Wanda's door.
"Thank you for coming."
Wanda let him in and Remy saw that the Professor was also there.
"Hello Remy, I'm glad you came."
A knock at the door alerted them to Toby and his aunt's arrival. Before opening the door Wanda looked back.
"Remy, I think you might want to cover your eyes, you might scare the aunt."
Remy put sunglasses on and leaned against the wall casually as Wanda opened the door.
"Miss. Barkens, thank you for coming."
She led the woman and her nephew in and closed the door behind them.
"Miss. Barkens, this is the Professor."
"Hello."
"Miss. Barkens, could I speak with you alone?"
Wanda took Toby's hand and led him out of the trailer, Remy followed.
"Toby, this is my friend Remy."
She nodded towards Remy.
"Hello."
Remy kneeled down to be eye level with the boy.
"Why you wearin dose glasses?"
"My eyes scare people."
"Really? So do mine."
Remy pulled his sunglasses off and let the Toby see his eyes.
"Are they real?"
"Yea, dere real, so how bout you let me see yours?"
Toby removed his glasses. His eyes were purple, there was no pupil or any white, just purple.
"Those aren't scary, they just different."
The door was thrown open and the Aunt stormed out, she gasped when she saw her nephew's eyes and took a step back when she saw Remy's.
"O my god, you're all mutants!"
"Miss Barkens, please…"
The professor tried to calm her.
"No! Get away from me!"
"Aunt Clara?"
"Stay away from me you mutant!"
She ran out of the trailer and disappeared in the crowd. Toby stood there shaking, his eyes were filling with tears and his lips were trembling as he spoke in a soft whisper.
"Aunt Clara?"
Toby started to cry. Wanda fell to her knees and gathered the boy in her arms.
"Shuu, it's going to be alright."
Toby held onto her tightly crying into her shoulder.
"Professor, what if she tells somebody 'bout us?"
The professor watched as Wanda rocked Toby back and forth as he sat in her lap.
"Go find Logan and tell him about what happened, He'll know what to do."
Remy left to go find Logan and the professor approached Wanda.
"Take him to Rogue tomorrow, she might have some extra clothes for him. I'll have Storm bring a cot and some blankets for the boy later tonight."
The Professor left and Toby soon fell asleep in Wanda's lap. She gently carried him and tucked him into her bed.
That same night in a bar in town Miss. Barkens was speaking to a tall man. She told him about the circus and her nephew.
"Don't worry ma'am, the Friends Of Humanity will take care of this."
He said as he threw a dart towards the dart board.
