Please read and review.

The four Acolytes stood on the side of the freeway trying to catch a ride. They had been standing there for about two hours and Piotr was getting restless, amusing himself by randomly changing his fingers into metal and back.

"Could ya cut that out?" Remy asked, "That clickin' is gettin' on my nerves!" Piotr frowned but obeyed the antsy Cajun.

"Me hungry…" Sabertooth growled putting a hand on his stomach.

"Shut up!" Remy snapped turning on Victor. He growled in response and plopped down on the dusty ground, his ugly face in his hands and pouted.

"Hey it's a car!" Pyro suddenly blurted out, "I think it's comin' this way mates!" Pyro put on his friendliest face, and it started to pull over for them. It was about to stop until Sabertooth stood up.

"Dear Lord!" the driver exclaimed speeding away. Remy scowled and cursed and you could tell he was in a very bad mood. Piotr just looked bored and began doing that thing with his fingers again.

"That was the fourth car that changed its mind! There must be something wrong…but what?" Pyro puzzled. Remy rolled his eyes and started walking away. "Hey, where do ya think you're going?" Pyro shrieked after him. Remy didn't respond and kept walking. "Hmph, fine! Go back to Magneto! We'll have all the fun," Pyro yelled sticking out his tongue. Piotr rolled his eyes at the childish younger mutant.

"Hey, look," Sabertooth grunted as a convertible pulled up.

"Need a ride?" the driver asked pulling down her sunglasses.

"Yes actually," Pyro answered.

She grinned, "What's your name cutie?"

"Oh, my name's John, and this is Piotr and Victor. There was Remy too, but…"

"They're coming! Oh sorry…I don't…have enough room!" she said, staring at Sabertooth like she was going to barf. The convertible sped away just like the car before had. Pyro cussed and pulled out his lighter, using the fire to calm himself.

"Well somebody's mad," Remy commented who was suddenly standing back with them again.

"What are you doing back?" Pyro asked spitefully, putting away his lighter.

"I was just takin' a pee…why? Is that a crime?"

"I guess not," muttered John.

"So, what'd I miss?" he asked almost cheerfully.

"Just another car. I don't get it… they're always about to let us in before they drive away," Pyro pouted.

"Face it, we're never gonna get a ride if he's with us," Gambit answered jerking his thumb over his shoulder at Sabertooth. Sabertooth was blissfully unaware of the conversation about him, and was satisfying his hunger by plucking ants and other various insects off the ground. They stared at him in disgust as he made happy smacking sounds licking the ants off his fingers.

"Yummy!" Sabertooth squealed, getting on his hands and knees to find more bugs humming "Hakuna Matata" to himself.

"Ohhhhh… that's why they never pick us up," Pyro said joyfully putting two-and-two together. Piotr rolled his eyes a second time trying to remind himself why he was sticking with these idiots. To get back at Magneto of course! Stealing the money and going to Las Vegas was the perfect way to show old Bucket Head he was not the boss of them…right? Piotr sighed. At least it was a start. Of course the reason they were hitchhiking was because Magneto never let them use cars, only those fancy metal orbs. This all made no sense to the quiet Russian giant, though. If they stole so much money then why couldn't they spend a little bit of it to rent a car or something.

"Piotr? Heeellloo? Anybody home?"

"Looks ta me like the lights are on, but nobody's home." Piotr was sucked out of his thoughts by John and Remy.

"Hmmm?" he mumbled.

"Great! We've finally made contact! What a success!" Pyro joked. Piotr frowned his usual I'm confused-and-upset-and-deeply-troubled-at-the-same-time frown at them.

"Hey guys, it's another car," Gambit pointed at the approaching vehicle. Pyro waved, but once again glimpsed Sabertooth and sped away.

"JESUS CHRIST!" Pyro screamed shoving Sabertooth into the middle of the street where he was run over. His powers allowed him to survive the first car and he might of survived if it was only one. Piotr, Remy, and John stared on in awe as their comrade was run over by a motorcycle, an SUV, a UPS truck, an 18-wheeler, and finally after one last dying shriek was just a carcass on the road.

Yes Sabertooth is dead...for now.
