Chapter 10

"Um, Ah'm Rogue and… who exactly are ya'll and why are ya in Remy's apartment?" a very confused and still embarrassed Rogue asked.

"We're the Acolytes. I'm Piotr and apologize for barging in on Gambit and you but would like to remind you we did knock."

"… Right…. Don't worry 'bout it Piotr but do ya mind tellin' meh what… YOU WORK FOR MAGNETO! DAMN IT LEBEAU AH'M GONNA KILL YA!" Everyone was incredibly confused. "Fucking asshole, what's in it for you? Ah'm sure you can get paid just as well for other jobs and find much prettier gals ta have one night stands with. Or maybe this is just your sick idea of payback for meh walkin' out on ya?

"And John, Ah know ya were pissed about the whole touchin' ya and putting out the fire but this? Ah didn't expect ya ta hate meh so much ya'd go along with ol' bucket head tryin' ta make meh a sacrifice for mutant kind! Ah thought ya were an ok guy, hell, Ah even thought ya were nahce but this… Do tell meh, where am Ah gonna be abducted to this tahme? Maybe somethin' more original, lahke fuckin' Big Ben so Ah can turn all of England inta mutants!"

"Uh, Rogue…"

"WHAT!"

"… 1: What the hell are you talking about? And 2: Did you know your accent gets thicker when you're mad?"

"…What do ya mean what am Ah talkin' 'bout?"

"Um, the mutant sacrifice thing and big ben…"

"Well, Ah figured after the Statue of Liberty it was the natural first…" she noticed his completely lost expression. "Don't tell meh the x-men didn't tell ya'll about Liberty Island?" Judging by the look on John's face they hadn't. "To make a long story short Mags decided, oh so brilliantly, 'Oh! That Rogue gal has powers to absorb others! If she touches me she can power mah machine to turn all o' New York into mutants and then we can rule the world, with me reigning supreme! Sure she'll die, but what's one person compared to mutant kind?' After that bucket head, the blue bitch, frog-boy and the oh-so-wonderful cat man kidnapped meh, Ah almost died but the x-men saved meh and Logan brought meh back ta life, and all Ah have ta show for it is some really disturbing knowledge about sex and booze and a couple o' white streaks. Now do ya get it?"

"…So… My boss killed you trying to turn New York into mutants so you could take over the world, Wolverine brought you back to life, you call Sabretooth cat boy, and Logan knows a lot about sex?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

"That's simple enough." Everyone aside from Rogue and John himself gaped at the pyromaniac. "What?"

"Don't worry about it Johnny, they just thought ya were an idiot and only now realized ya might actually have a brain."

"Oh. Ok."

"Uh, nooffenseRemybutyoureallyshould'vepickedagirlthatdoesn'thateyouremployersomuch."

"What?" was Remy's response.

"Ah think he said 'No offense, Remy, but you really should have picked a girl that… doesn't hate your employer so much?" Pietro nodded.

"Yeah, that's it."

"So… who all's part o' the acolytes?"

"Well, mydad'sleader. I'mPietro, that's Piotr, you alreadyknowRemyandJohn. Sabretooth's also a part of it."

"Oh joy. So, if ya aren't here for somethin' involvin' usin' meh, what are ya here for?"

"Gambit has a mission to go on. O' course, I'd forget about it to if I'd been having sex with you." John was rewarded for the statement by Rogue back-handing him.

"…Gambit, come here for a second," Pietro ordered. Gambit consented, and soon all the Acolytes that were there were huddled together. "Look, she knows about us and she's an x-man. Either she joins us or we have to kill her."

"Non."

"Look, I'm second in command and since my dad's not here I call the shots. If you don't want her dead you better get her to join us."

"Wait, if you just about fucked her, does that mean she's been joshin' everybody all this time and just didn't touch Bobby cuz he's repulsive?"

"Non, we just… Stay on topic, y' moron."

"Exactly. Ok, let's tell her what's-" Pietro got cut off, and the person who did it surprised them all immensely.

"Ah heard ya. Never gossip 'bout somebody with abnormally good senses. That's one thing Ah can thank Logan for. Now, lets get some things settled.Ah'm not an x-man anymore, wasn't when Ah got here. Ah just found out Ah could touch, and at least if Ah join the team it'll annoy the shit outta Magneto and Sabretooth. Does that give you your answer?"

Beaming, the psycho-but-loveable Saint John Allerdyce said, "Welcome to the Acolytes." Then, "Does this mean you didn't find Bobby repulsive?"

"Believe meh John, Ah'd fuck any of ya- meaning in the room, not all Acolytes- than Bobby any day o' the week.

I didn't give Piotr an accent because I really, really suck at it, so just use your imaginations and pretend he has one. Believe me, your imaginations work better than my typing-Russian-accent-skills. They really, really do... Remember, reviews make the world a better place! I'm going to wait till I have 15 reveiws to post the next chapter just to see how long it takes so yeah...
