Plus it never hurts to look at the situation from the outside. Hmm, when you say they look suspicious do you mean their clothes? Cause they aren't really seen, hence the reason they were black. Also, you do know it wasn't really in their back yard right? It was in their neighborhood, I was just saying 'backyard' to express that it was close to home, but it was not directly in their backyard, that would be stupid. It was a couple of blocks down from where they live. Also they aren't suspicious cause during the day they really act like normal people with jobs and such. The older Goths are 20. Wanda wasn't pretending to be married, she really was. As for Jubilee who cares if it's illegal lol. She's not drinking she's working.

OoOoOoOo Chapter 4 OoOoOoOo

"Dun dun...dundundun dun dun dun...da da da...dadada..."

"Jubilee, do you mind?" X-23 asked in an annoyed voice.

"What?" the Asian asked in an innocent voice.

"Stop humming, I know it seems like we're doing secret agent stuff but we really don't need a theme song."

Jubilee laughed, "Fine...It's not my fault I though it was to quiet."

"Hello, we're Assassins, we're suppose to be quiet loud mouth."

"Ouch that was harsh," Jubilee answered as they walked in back of the apartment they knew Roberto lived in. Thanks to Jubilee's super computer skills she had found out the addresses and also the fact that he owned a whole floor of the luxurious building.

Jubilee's hair was in a low pony tail and her out fit consisted of black tight pants that went just below her knee, a black bikini top that did cover a lot of her chest and a small sweater that just covered her chest area but left all her stomach in the open. A small yellow gem gleamed with the light that surrounding the building; it was her small belly button ring.

"So, what are we doing just walking around back here?" Jubes asked looking a bit bored.

"Stupid question," Lexa answered and opened a door she had found. "Come on." She commanded as she walked inside.

They both walked through a dark corridor in silence, keeping their ears and eyes alert for anything or anyone. After a while of passing many doors Lexa smiled and looked at a door marked, 'Security'.

"We're here..." she whispered and went through a bag Jubilee was holding.

"Whacah looking for?" Jubes asked in a whisper.

"The knockout gas..." she answered and then took out 5 little metal balls. She then opened the door slowly and when she looked inside she found about half a dozen guys looking at TV monitors, she guessed they were from all the cameras around. She rolled the balls inside the room and quietly shut it.

"Wanna do the honors?" X-23 asked Jubilee handing her a small device with a red button in the center.

"It would be my honor," she answered giggling silently and pushing the button. Less than a minute later they both heard loud thuds. Lexa smirked and opened the door too see a bunch of big belly men on the floor.

"Well, this makes the job easier right," she mumbled and started piling them up in chairs so that they woke up they wouldn't be too suspicious. "Alright, so you do your thing in here and I'll go up to his sweep," Lexa told Jubilee while getting ready to walk out the room.

"Wait a min."

"What?"

Jubilee looked through her small bag and took a white rectangle shaped device. "Here, take this and plug it into his computer."

X-23 looked at it curiously. "What does it do?"

"It downloads everything on his computer into it."

"Everything in his computer...into this small thing?"

"Yup."

"Alright, call me when you're done here," Lexa answered and walked out. She found herself walking through corridors until she found an elevator. When she got in it she went to the top floor where she knew Roberto was living. When the doors opened she found herself looking into a huge room.

It was a beautiful place. Expensive things decorated the large place beautifully and just by looking around Lexa knew that Roberto probably had walls taken out to make doors and make it look like a house. Before walking any steps forward though X-23 sniffed the air to make sure she was alone.

After finding she was she went directly to a room where Roberto's computer was blinking telling her it was in stand by mode. She plugged in Jubilee's device and saw that a little light turned red on it. She then left it alone and went into different rooms.

The rooms smelled of cologne, the scent bugged X-23. It wasn't that she didn't like the smell, it was just that she was used to a certain cologne...worn by a certain silver headed guy. Lexa shook her head getting back to the task at hand. The rooms also had a scent of women; Roberto's womanizing reputation seemed to be quite true. Lex wouldn't have been surprised if he had brought a different girl every night.

The place was tidy though telling her that he was living alone and maybe didn't spend that much time there except to sleep. As she continued her small adventure around his living quarters there was a ringing in her ear. She seemed a bit startled when she first heard it cause it had been very quiet but then she remembered it was just her phone.

"Ya?" she asked after pushing a small button on a wire that was connected to her earpiece.

"Where you at?"

"What do you care?"

"Well that was kinda cold. I haven't been able to reach any of you so I was just wondering Where you're at."

"Liar," Lexa stated smirking.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like...have you really called the others or was I your first choice? Cause I know for a fact Rogue or Wanda would have answered the phone..."

Lexa smirked, as she didn't get a response from the other line. She knew he was still on though, she could hear his small breaths on the receiver.

"So...are you gonna tell me where you are or what?" Pietro asked annoyed after a while of silence.

"I'm in Roberto Da Costa's bedroom..." she answered smirking at how naughty that had sounded. Being in his rivals' bedchamber.

"WHAT?"

"Calm down. I'm here scooping out the area so it'll be easier to kill him off."

"Oh..."

"What did you think I was doing here?" she asked letting her smile widen.

"I don't know."

"Ok...so what did you want? Have another hit for me or something?"

"No. I was just curious where you were. I haven't seen any of you in a while."

"Oh, well I'm here with Jubes, and Wanda and Amara are at the annual Da Costa Ball. I don't know where Rogue is."

"All right."

"Is that all?"

"...Ya..."

Lexa smiled a sweet smile, "Kay...Pietro..."

"Ya?"

"It's good hearing your voice..."

"I'm sure it is for you," he answered and Lexa could imagine the sly smirk that had appeared on his face. She rolled her eyes.

"Don't let that get to your head, we don't need you to get a bigger ego."

Laughter was heard on the other line and then a click. Lexa looked real annoyed now. 'The Bastard hung up on me...he calls me and the hangs up on me...asshole' she thought to herself and then continued her tour around Roberto's apartment.

After a while she went back to the computer and saw that Jubilee's device was blinking a green light this time. As if on cue she heard...

"X...i'm done. I'm on the roof..."

"All right. I'm done too. I'll see you in a bit.

"KK, see u soon"

OoOoOoOo Outside of Da Costa Ball OoOoOoOo

Rogue put on a smile as 'Officer Remy Lebeau' stared at her. She perked her eyebrow though at the fact that he was wearing his sunglasses.

"Isn't it a lil dark for shades?"

He smiled and turned is face away. "Oui...mais...I have a horrible tan around my eyes for wearing them during de day so...it's just better letting my complexion look even," he answered with a smile.

She nodded and then asked, "So Mr. Lebeau, what brings you here?"

"Funny, I was gonna ask y' de same ting."

"Ah'm her cause ah dropped off some friends," she answered and moved her head to the side where the building was. "Yah?"

"I was invited, Roberto Da Costa gets along wit the police force and he always invites us."

"Lucky," Anna answered.

"Y' wanna go? I can bring a guest."

Anna laughed at this; she looked at herself and back at him. "Yah...ah don't think so," she mumbled while getting some of her bangs out of her face and taking a puff of the cigarette. Remy nodded and looked up at the big building and then at the petite southern girl that had caught his attention.

"Well den...would y' mind If...I join ya?"

"Don't yah have a party tah attend?"

"Dey won't miss me, my partners' already in der and plus...I hate these kind of events...tuxs and me don get a long."

"That's to bad, yah sure look good in one," Anna whispered and thought Remy hadn't heard.

"Merci," he answered making her snap her head up to him to see a huge smirk on his face. Rogue rolled her eyes.

"So officer Lebeau..."

"Non, sil vous plait...call me, Remy."

She nodded, "So, Remy, what would yah like to do?" she asked wrapping her trench coat closer since it had gotten chilly.

Remy looked at her closely through his dark glasses. She was beautiful. White creamy skin, pouty lips, and that hair was very unique. He had to admit, he liked what he saw, and even more he liked how she said his name.

"How bout a walk? Or are y' gonna have to wait for yo...boy...friend?" Remy asked trying to sneak in a way to see if she was single.

"Actually it's just my friend, she has spare keys to mah car so ah'm sure she'll be fine," Anna answered putting emphasis on the 'she' knowing that that's the only reason he had even asked. While walking she carefully pressed a button that was controlling the communicating devices Amara, Wanda and herself had in their ears. She smirked when she turned it off knowing that she was going to get hell later on from two very pissed off assassins.

They then took off walking in silence for a couple of minutes, getting used to each other's company. That and the fact they were both strangers, but for some reason something about each other appealed to the other.

"Can I ask ya a Question?"

"Sure. It's a bit bettah than tha awkward silence no?" Anna asked with a small chuckle.

Remy smiled to himself and asked, "What were you doing...y'know walking by the crime scene yesterday?"

Anna looked at him with a perked eyebrow all while thinking, 'WTF...does he know something?' but out loud she said, "Is this a conversation or an investigation?"

"A bit of both I guess," he answered humorously.

"Ah was going tah work...ah work at hot topic and yup, that's all."

Remy nodded and they walked in silence for a couple more minutes, not knowing exactly what to talk about.

"So...if we're gonna be walking together we might as well get tah know each other."

"D'accord, whadda y' wanna know? I'm willing to answer jus about anything..."

Anna got a thoughtful look on her face, "Hmm what sexual position would yah prefer? JUST KIDDING!" she answered quickly and smiled. "Ah dunno, just tell me anything yah'd like to offer to a stranger ya just met."

"Well, I'm from de South, New Orleans. I have a broter name Henri, I've worked as an officer for four years now...um...I like dogs, I'm single, mon pere est an interesting man. Taught me a lot even though he's actually mon step-pere. I was orphaned when I was really young so I basically had to teach myself how to tough it out in de streets. Mon favorite color is red et black et I like taking long walks down de beach," he finessed making it sound as if he was thinking of putting a newspaper ad out. "Yo turn."

Anna was silent for a moment, she wasn't sure what she should and if had to make sure she didn't say too much, after all the cute guy next to her is a cop. "Ah was also an orphan actually. Born and raised in Mississippi where two kinds folks adopted me. Ah have a stepbrother...but honestly ah don't keep in touch with them anymore. Ah live with good friends ah've met over the years; ah guess yah can say work and a hobby brought us together. Ah love puppies, and like spicy foods. Green is mah favorite color...ah hate shopping...ah liahke alternative rock and...ah believe that ah'm quite a unique individual," she finished with a shrug and looked through the windows of some stores they were passing.

"I can agree with the last part for sure."

"No yah can't, yah don't know meh so how can yah tell that ah'm unique?"

Remy looked her up and down carefully, "Believe Remy on dis one chere...you can tell," he answered and things fell quiet between them.

"So, yah don't get along wit yo family?" he asked starting conversation again.

Anna's eyes narrowed a bit but Remy wasn't looking at her to notice. "Yah can say that...drama kinda consumed mah family after mah mother…died..." she answered slowly.

"Oh, desole."

"It's fiahne."

"How did it..."

"Heart failure. Raven had a very weak heart," she answered making it sounded like nothing out of an ordinary. Remy turned to look at her but she was still looking through some stores. Through the glass he could see her reflection, her face was expressionless so he wasn't sure how exactly she felt about talking about her mother.

"After she was buried ah stopped talking tah my brother...we just lost contact and ah found a new family," she finished never looking up at him. They walked in silence, mostly because he wasn't sure how to respond. He had barley met this girl and she had opened up to him, usually he would have acted like he cared but he found himself shock that he really did care. He just didn't know what he could do, touching her in a comforting way would most definitely be wrong, after all this was only their second encounter and deep in his heart he hoped it wouldn't be their last.

Deciding to break the silence once again he opened his mouth and said, "Death is..."

"Beautiful," he heard her say making him snap his head to her. He was about to ask her what she meant but stopped when he saw what she was looking at. They had stopped in front of jewelry store and Anna was looking at beautiful heart shaped emerald. It reminded him a lot of the necklace in the titanic movie. He smirked as he glanced at the shinning gem.

Anna looked at her watch and saw that half an hour had passed since she had closed the connection between herself, Amara and Wanda. She wondered how they were doing and her thoughts also went to Jubilee and Lexa. She turned back to her handsome companion and found him looking intently at the emerald heart she was fascinated by.

"Shall we go on?" she asked. It took him a couple of minutes to turn to her but when he did he had a charming smile in his face.

"Sure, where ta?"

"Well, we're close to mah house...mind walking meh?"

"It would be mon pleasure," he answered and surprised her by taking her hand and giving the back of it a soft kiss.

Rogue smiled, 'this is gonna be interesting' she thought as they continued their walk.

OoOoOoOo Da Costa Ball OoOoOoOo

"Uh...ya...Wanda Maximoff," Wanda responded after a couple of seconds. She held out her hand to shake with the redheaded officer. He took her hand and gave it a small shake and squeeze.

"Maximoff eh? Ya uh, married to Pietro?"

Wanda almost puked. "NO! Eww god no...he's my older brother."

"Oh," the guy answered and then laughed very loudly and sheepishly at himself. "Sorry about that shelia."

Wanda looked at the guy as if he was a dumbass, "I said my name was Wanda."

He stopped laughing and looked at her intrigued. He had barely met this girl and he already seemed to have annoyed her. Hopefully his blind date would go this way too, he thought to himself.

"Yes you did. Sorry bout that luv, where I'm from shelia is the slang for girl."

"Oh," she answered stupidly.

"So, if you are Pietro's sister then that must mean that you're the co-owner of Lensher Industries."

"That's right."

The guy smiled at her and tilted his head to the side. His eyes went from her head down to her toes, "My name's John. St. John Allerdyce. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," she answered nodding gently.

"So what is the heir of Erik Magnus Lensher, one of the Da Costa's rivals doing here at their annual ball?" he asked in a teasing manner.

Wanda perked an eyebrow at John, "I do believe that's the first time I have ever heard someone say my fathers full name. Were you a fan?"

"Your father was a powerful and good man. He donated a lot of money to the police department to help our cause of fighting crime and injustice. Many people, colleagues I work with and others at the department really admired him."

'Ya, father always had a lot of money to cover up his damn tracks,' Wanda thought silently and added; 'wonder if I got that from him'. She gave John a small smile, "I'm glad the memory of him still lives on and that it's a good one."

They stayed quiet for a while and looked at the people dancing ballroom style in the center. John took a sip of the drink in his hand and then looked back to the raven-haired beauty next to him.

"So, Ms. Maximoff, you haven't answered why the biggest rival of the Da Costa family is here," he stated in an amused tone.

Wanda gave a small sound between a chuckled and a sigh. "The Da Costa's and Maximoff's might have a business rivalry Mr. Allerdyce. But I'd like to think we don't let that get in between our personal affairs. We are very civil to each other and I actually got invited to this grand affair."

"Really? Where is your brother? He seems to be all about business and not about being civil."

"He may be older but I'm the mature one," she answered and turned to the redheaded cop. "I'm sorry to ask this but…Evan was an actual good friend of mine. I knew him since High school…we even dated for a while…have you…found any suspects to his death?" she asked in a whisper with an expression that seemed to show mourning and pain.

John looked sadly at her, "I'm afraid not yet. But don't worry, we're on the case and we will be able to find some more clues soon we hope."

"Yes, I hope so too," she answered and looked up and stared at the dancers again. John took another sip of his drink and smiled. He watched Wanda's eyes have a nice looked as she looked at the pairs dancing. He knew just how to turn her frown upside down.

"Ms. Maximoff, would you like to dance?"

Wanda was staring at the dancing pairs, but in reality she wasn't paying them any attention. From her earpiece she could hear Rogue talking to some guy. She noticed that they seemed a bit flirty. She was snapped out of their conversation by John who asked of she wanted to dance.

Wanda looked up at him and smirked, "Why…I'd love too.."

John smiled.

"…Unfortunately though…you stole my drink…so you're kinda on my bad side now."

John stopped smiling and looked at the drink in his hand. He then remembered how he had bumped into the Maximoff Princess in the first place, they both had reached out for the last drink the bartender had…and that drink was now in hand…half full.

"Uh…"

Wanda laughed making John look up at her startled and realized she had been joking. He joined her in laughing while thinking she was really cute, and she made him laugh, not many girls knew how to do that.

As they started walking towards the dance floor John stopped noticing that Wanda had stopped. He looked back at her to see her holding her ear.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Wanda couldn't hear John; her earpiece had exploded into static filling her head with pain. With out her noticing her right had holding her ear started glowing blue and then she heard a loud thud. She looked up to see John in front of her.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"Ya…I um…have a little headache," she answered. He nodded and then looked across the room where the thud had been heard. His officer instincts won the best of him and he said, "Sorry luv, I'm afraid I gotta postpone our dance. I'll be right back," he told her and went to investigate the crash.

Wanda watched him go and took the earpiece out of her ear. She glared at it. Rogue had closed the connection between them and that's what had caused the static. The only thought on her mind at the moment was, 'that bitch is gonna die'.

OoOoOoOo Nearby OoOoOoOo

Amara kept walking around but staying in a close range of Roberto's vision. He still hadn't seen her and that was fine with her. A lot of guys had come up to her asking if she wanted to dance but she decline. In her mind she was thinking of a way she could get Roberto's attention. She thought that maybe "bumping" into him might be the best solution, but as soon as that thought crossed her mind her brain exploded with static.

'Ahhhhh…wtf?' She thought as she put both her hands on her ears to cover them. She then realized that that only made the sound worse. She figured it was the earpiece and tried taking it out, making her walk around blindly and bumping into people who gave her strange looks and think she was drunk. As she finally was able to pull it out she looked up and smacked directly into someone.

"Ahhhh" a familiar female voice yelled. "Watch where you're going BITCH!"

Amara had a big sense of déjà vu and looked up to look at angry green eyes.

"Taryn? What's wrong?" a voice asked making Amara shut her eyes and groan. 'This was NOT my idea of how to bump into him' she though annoyed.

"This…this…bitch bumped into me and now I have wine all over my dress!"

Roberto looked at the girl in white and he slowly smirked as he recognized her. His smirk grew even more when he realized that Taryn hadn't recognized Amara.

"Well well well…this is certainly an odd coincidence," he told her.

Amara smiled and ignored Taryn who looked at her and then at Roberto. "Well, life has a way of coming back and kicking you in the ass I suppose."

"How did you get in?" he asked.

Before Amara could answer Taryn yelled, "IT'S YOU! The rude coffee girl! How the hell did you get in here? Are you stalking MY MAN?"

Amara rolled her eyes, "Sorry, I'm not desperate enough to stalk guys…but I wouldn't be surprised if you do that," she answered back making Taryn growl and Roberto give a small chuckle which he covered up as a cough when Taryn glared at him. "And for your information, I have an invitation," she added getting her invite out of a small white purse she had been carrying. Taryn quickly grabbed it to look it over but before she could say anything Roberto took from her and looked at it.

"Well, that is my signature and these are the invitations my parents send out so yeah…looks like this is the place you need to be," he told her giving it back to her making sure as she grabbed for it their hands touched.

"Thank you," she answered looking around like she didn't care about them.

"What? Roberto she messed up my dress? This is your party, can't you just kick her out?"

Roberto looked like he was thinking about it and after a while answered, "No…this is my party and I don't wanna cause a scandal. We should let Ms. Aquilla, enjoy herself."

Amara's eyes widened, he knew her last name. She knew for a fact her tag at the Bleu Café didn't have her whole name on it. Roberto smirked as he saw the shock in her eyes. Before she could say anything though Amara felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to look into beautiful blue eyes.

"Hello there, I've been admiring your beauty from afar and I was wondering if you'd like to dance?"

Amara looked up at the tall blond man and took a quick glance at Roberto who was frowning as he looked at the newcomer. She smirked, "I'd love to, after all I came to 'enjoy' myself," she answered while grinning at Roberto since she was mocking what he had said just a couple seconds ago.

"Excuse us," the guy said as he took Amara's hand and passed an annoyed Roberto.

"Ha, guess she won't be our problem now," Taryn said happily but frowned when Roberto answered.

"Taryn, shut up. Why don't you go change, you know I can't be seen with you with your dress looking like that. It looks like you pissed on yourself," he answered moodily while staring off at Amara and the mystery guy.

Taryn huffed and puffed and stormed away to get something else on. She just hoped that whatever it was would be classy and match her shoes and purse, which were also green like her dress. Roberto didn't even bother watching her go; his eyes were focused on the dark skinned waitress he had met earlier.

"Now that is a very weird coincidence," said a voice next to him. "It's the same beautiful girl from earlier right?"

"Ya…you were in charge of invitations Jason…who the hell is that guy?" he asked without looking at the disguised deformed mutant next to him.

Mastermind smiled, "A friend Roberto…believe me, he will be of great help later in the future, but for now just know that he is a friend."

Roberto nodded but his eyes never stopped narrowing at the male. Friend or no friend, if he turned out to be an obstacle in what Roberto wanted, he would go down.

Amara faked a smile as she danced with the stranger. Ya the guy was cute but honestly, she felt herself a lot more attracted to the millionaire she was suppose to seduce. But she knew that she wouldn't be able to snag Roberto yet, even though it seemed she had made an impression on him since he took the time to find out her full name. There was also another obstacle, Taryn. Amara would have to talk to Rogue about how to take her out of the picture.

"You seem deep in though."

Amara looked into the kind blue eyes, "Yes well, I don't get many offers like these."

"That surprises me, you look like the type of girl that can get any guy you want."

Amara chuckled, "Nope, guess looks can be deceiving," she answered.

"They certainly can," he responded and dipped her as the song ended.

"Well thank you for the dance…um…"

"Warren Worthington at your service."

Amara smiled kindly at him, "Thank you Warren, goodbye," and with that she walked away. Warren followed her with his eyes, and then he looked into a dark corner where he met beautiful smirking amethyst eyes. He then looked to the reason he was there; Jason Wyngarde and Roberto Da Costa were looking at him. He smiled but to his surprise Roberto gave him a dirty look and looked away. He gave mastermind a questioning look and he just made a hand gesture to forget about it. He nodded and walked to the dark corner…then disappeared from everyone else's sight.

OoOoOoOo On the Balcony OoOoOoOo

Amara stared down at the ground from the second story balcony and dropped her earpiece; she wondered what the hell made Rogue disconnect them like that. She was so busy with her thoughts she didn't notice someone was watching her closely.

"Beautiful night…"

She didn't look back, "Ya…looks way better in California though. If you find a place with building that have fluorescent lights you can actually see the stars at lot clearer."

"Your from California?"

"I've been there, but no. Anyway wouldn't you know? After all you somehow found out my last name right?"

Roberto smirked and leaned on the rail next to her. "What are you trying to say?"

"That you've had someone have a background check on me," she answered without trouble. "Found anything good?"

He laughed, "Don't get to cocky. I asked your boss for your name, though a background check isn't a bad idea," he answered.

She laughed with him. "Sure you can do that, or you can just ask. I'm not shy," she answered slyly. Roberto looked her up and down slowly.

"Is that a good thing?"

"I dunno, maybe you'll find out," she answered and the both smirked at each other.

"So Ms. Aquilla…"

"Yuck, Amara, Ms. Aquilla makes me feel old."

"And how old are you?"

"Nah nah nah, that's a rude question for a lady, but I'm legal if that gives you any clue," she answered with a wink.

Roberto laughed and Amara stopped leaning on the rail and looked at her watch.

"Well, it's been fun but I think I'm going to go."

Roberto stopped laughing and turned to her, "What you're pulling a Cinderella on me?" he asked and looked at the time.

She smiled, "Sure, would you like my slipper?"

"Ha ha, no really what's the hurry?"

"For me? None. For you? That," she answered and pointed at Taryn who was looking around for Roberto frantically. "She's bound to find us soon, I saw her looking a while ago," Amara answered with a grin.

"What you scared of Taryn?"

"Puh-leese, I can take her. But how bout this…would you like to meet me?"

"When?"

"This weekend, Club Kisses," Roberto acted like he was thinking about it. After waiting for a minute she started walking towards the door to go back inside, "I'm tired of waiting for your answer. Just meet me there at 9 on Saturday. Earlier today you said I didn't know how to treat royalty when I got in a fight with your little bitch. Just to tell you the obvious she's not royalty…I'll let you see how I treat Royalty next time we meet. Bye," she told him and walked off before he could get any words out. As he looked at her go he watched how nicely her hips swayed as she walked.

He smirked, "Looks like I got a date this Saturday," he told himself. He kept watching her until she faded away. Roberto admitted to himself that there was something special with this one. Usually girls giggled and acted shy when he hit on them but this one just played along…he liked that. She had an air on confidence that just turned him on, before he could complete his thoughts Taryn appeared in a yellow dress a lot like her puke green one.

"There you are…I've been looking all over for you…what are you doing out here alone?" she asked suspiciously.

Roberto turned his back on her and looked at the sky. "I was just admiring the view," he told her knowing she would have no idea of the double meaning.

OoOoOoOo Roberto's Building OoOoOoOo

Jubilee and Lexa looked down from the rooftop.

"We have everything we need right?" Jubes asked.

"Yup, you have your computer stuff and I know his place pretty well. I already have a plan in mind but I'll tell it when we're all together."

"Kay…so what now?"

"Rogue said to call her, hold on a min." Lexa got her cell phone out and dialed. She waited for Rogue to pick up but instead saw that her call was forwarded to voicemail. "That's weird…she won't answer. X-23 tried calling a couple more times but only got more frustrated when the same thing happened again. She dialed a number again but this time it was Wanda's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey, where the hell is Rogue? I've been trying to call her but she won't answer."

"Something tells me she's a bit occupied at the moment."

"With?"

"A guy, she closed her connection with me and Amara. Anyway you guys done?"

"Ya. That's what I'm calling about what do we do now?"

"I think you should just go home."

"Are you guys done?"

"Ya just about, Amara's talking to Roberto on the balcony."

"So everything is going as plan?"

"Looks like it."

"Alright then, I'll see you at home."

"K. Bye."

"Bye," Lexa hung up.

"What's up?"

"I think we just go home."

"But…Rogue drove us here," Jubilee answered. "How are we getting home?"

"I don't know…walking?"

Jubilee got an annoyed expression on her face but then she seemed deep in though about something. "Hey…"

"Ya?"

"Do you think it's ok if I stop by the bar I work in for a couple of minutes?"

Lexa perked an eyebrow, "Sure I suppose, but are you going that like?" she asked pointing at her outfit.

"Ya, I guess, not like we can change."

Lexa nodded but took of her trench coat and threw at Jubilee. "Wear that, it's still a bit suspicious but I think it's better than just the bra."

Jubilee smiled and gave X-23 her little chest coat. "I won't be long, you gonna be ok?"

X-23 rolled her eyes, "I'll always be alright."

Jubilee nodded as asked, "How are you gonna get home?"

Lexa looked at her cell phone, "I'll find a way," she answered and Jubilee started using the emergency stairs to get out of the building. Before she went out of hearing thought she heard Lexa whisper a small-frustrated growl.

Jubilee then buttoned up the top of the trench coat so her black bikini top would be well hidden and walked towards the bar which was only a couple of blocks down. When she arrived a couple minutes later she heard loud music and people were jumping up and down to the beat.

Jubilee walked over to a dark lonely corner where she knew many people wouldn't bug her. She took a quick look around and found that the place was a lot different from it looked in the morning; for one thing it was packed. Her eyes the looked over to the reason she had decided to come. Up on the stage stood Ray Crisp, his lips close to the mic as he poured his thoughts into a song.

His eyes opened as he felt eyes on him, all eyes were partially on him but he could feel that this look was different. His eyes skimmed through the crowd and stopped in a dark corner where he met almond ones. He smiled and kept singing.

When Jubilee saw that she had caught his eyes she gave Ray a small wave and then nodded to the music. After a couple of sings he stopped singing for an intermission and made his way to the dark corner. On his way many girls tried to talk to him, Jubilee rolled her eyes at this but stood indifferent.

"Hey," he greeted her after finally ditching all the fan girls.

"Hi," she answered sweetly. "You were great out there."

Ray blushed a bit and his hand came up to rub his head modestly, "Thanks, I don't think it was that great but ya."

Jubilee giggled, "Well take it from me, it was."

Ray smiled and leaned on the wall next to her, eyeing her outfit while he did. "You've been here long?" he asked.

"I've been around for a while," she answered.

"Ya, I was looking for you earlier but didn't see you."

Jubilee smiled, "Ya, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it but here I am."

"I'm glad," he answered. "Where did you come from?" he asked eyeing her outfit again.

"A costume party," she leaned over to him end got on her tippy ties, "Shhh…I'm a secret agent, don't tell anyone," she whispered and went back down.

Ray laughed and winked, "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." They both laughed and talked for a while until they heard a loud, "RAY CRISP! We NEED you on the STAGE!"

Jubilee and Ray looked up at the stage where Bobby was with the mic, they also noticed he was not giving them a friendly looked.

"Whoops, got to go," Ray mumbled.

"Good Luck," Jubilee told him and surprised them both by giving him a peck on the cheek. Jubilee felt a small shock on her lips bug ignored and it pulled away. Ray looked at her a bit shocked but then smile, mumbled thanks and went back towards the stage. She noticed that some girls around were glaring at her but she just smirked back at them. Seconds later the music started again, Jubes watched Ray for a couple of minutes but after he got into the music she left outside.

A big limo pulled up in front of her.

"Get in…"

"What the…oh it's you, geeze give me a heart attack, I thought I was about to get kidnap." Jubes heard laughter inside and stuck her head into the limo.

"See you got us a ride," she told Lexa.

"I always come through," X-23 answered. "Hop in."

Jubilee looked at Lex and at Pietro, their hair was a bit messed up and Jubilee could see that X-23's makeup was a bit smudged.

"Uh…do you think I can ride up with he driver?"

Lexa looked confused. "Why?"

"Cause I'm not sure I wanna go in there…looks like you guys were playing twister." Pietro laughed again but was shut up with Lexa smacked his shoulder.

"Shut up Pie."

"Ok," he answered while still smirking.

"Jubilee just get in," X-23 answered annoyed at both of them.

"Ok, but tell me where you guys haven't sit…or touched…you know what? Just tell me where you haven't breathed."

OoOoOoOo Assassin Mansion OoOoOoOo

"Wanda I really don't want to hear this right now."

"WELL YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HAVE TO CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA SHUT UP! NOW MIND TELLING ME WHAT THE BIG IDEA WAS?"

"What's going on?" Lexa asked walking inside the house t hear Wanda's shouting.

Amara was leaning on a door framed and turned to her, "Not much, Wanda is yelling at Rogue cause she caused an explosion of static to grace our ears when she disconnected us earlier tonight. She just seems to be ignoring her though…which I think is odd cause I'm scared and she's not even screaming at me."

"Ya, Rogue's immune to Wanda's temper. How long have they been at it?"

"Not long."

"Where are YOU GOING?"

"Out, MOM!" Rogue answered walking out of the room and seeing everyone else. "Oh, hello."

"Pietro, what are you doing here?" Wanda asked noticing him.

"I'm not sure," he answered and then looked at Lexa who shook her head at him.

"Where you going? We have a lot of things to talk about," X-23 asked.

"Shopping."

"Shopping? At this hour?" Amara asked confused.

"What are you stealing?" Wanda re-phrased.

"Guess yah'll have to find out tomorrow. We'll talk about the Da Costa business then," she answered and walked out in to the chilly night.

"So, what now?" Jubilee asked.

"I'm going to bed," Wanda answered and walked off to go to her guest bedroom.

"I'm taking a bath and then going to bed," Amara answered and followed the temperamental witch.

"I'm going to go change, do you wanna stay and watch a movie and stuff?" Lexa asked turning to Pietro.

"Sure," he answered with a shrug.

Jubilee looked from one to the other, "Well…I'm gonna go read…and stay away from you guys," she said in a teasing voice. She walked away while Pietro smirked and Lexa rolled her eyes. "Peace."

"Bye," they both answered and stood in the hall way as she left.

"What are we watching?" Pietro asked.

"I don't care, you pick," she answered as she walked to her room to change. Pietro watched her go with a thoughtful gaze on his face. He had been surprised when she called asking for a ride. She had called just as he was about to go into a meeting and he found himself unable to say no to her. So he canceled the meeting got a driver and went for her.

Pietro sighed and shook he's head. "I'm going soft," he mumbled to himself and went to check out the movies.

OoOoOoOo Jewelry store OoOoOoOo

Rogue smirked at how easy it had been to sneak inside the store and with her gloved fingers traced the outline of some of the cases. She looked around and didn't find anything interesting, except a beautiful cross with a ruby embedded in the middle. She decided to take that just to use it as a peace offering for Wanda.

She then went over for what she had really come for, the emerald heart.

She walked over to the case and her eye widened in shock at what she found…

OoOoOoOo Next Morning OoOoOoOo

Wanda woke up, stretched and started walking downstairs. She froze on the stairs when she caught sight of what was on the couch. There, under a blanket, looking nice and snuggly were Pietro and Lexa. Lexa's head was resting on Pietro's shoulder while his head leaned onto hers, his arm also seemed to be wrapped around her waist. Wanda hated herself for it, but she smiled.

She then walked into the kitchen where the other girls were already eating breakfast.

"Have you seen the happy couple?" Jubilee asked with a huge smirk.

"Yup," Wanda answered and noticed Rogue was looking at the news.

'Hello everyone, this is Vertigo Essex at a crime scene. Yes that's right, I said a crime scene. It seems that someone broke into Sefton Jewels and has stolen a very expensive Emerald heart. There was no clue who it might have been or what time it happened…'

Vertigo was still talking as they showed a picture of the beautiful jewel.

"Whoa…Rogue, that is a pretty neat accessory and it'll match anything you wear," Wanda commented.

Seconds later they all heard a 'crash'. Wanda looked at Rogue who had thrown her coffee cup into a wall that was very close to where Amara had been standing.

"What's up with you?"

"It was gone…" Rogue answered slowly.

"What?" Jubes asked.

"The fucken emerald heart…it was gone when ah got there…"

Everyone stood still and quiet as Rogue bitterly glared at the TV screen.
