OoOoOoOo Chapter 5 OoOoOoOo

"That's...odd," Wanda stated after a couple minutes of silence.

"Ya, what are the odds of two thieves going after the same thingon the same night," Amara commented.

"You know what that reminds me of? Oceans Twelve," Jubilee told them making them all look at her with 'what does that have to do with anything' looks. "What? I was just saying..."

Rogue rolled her eyes and her leg bounced up and down impatiently. If there was anything she really hated, it was losing.This little incident had her blood boiling and she could feel that she really needed to take it out on something.

"Well, you look like you might be ready to go after Roberto personally, though you can't really do that so might as well talk about what we found out yesterday," Wanda said and sat down next to her best friend.

"Ya," Rogue answered. "Someone go wake thehorn dogs on the couch."

Jubilee smirked and laughed then walked out the kitchen to go wake them up.

"You know, I'm starting to get the feeling he might actually be serious about her," Wanda told them.

"He bettah be, her heart gets broken and his heart will be ripped out and eaten for dinner."

"Remind me not to eat on that night" Amara stated and threw away the rest of her coffee losing her appetite.

"You guys talk big but guess we might have to wait and see if you can back it up," a voice told them.The three girls looked up to see Pietro walking in while stretching.

"Honestly, I don't think saying that in a room full of cold hearted killers is right," Lexa told him walking in behind him and Jubilee followed her in too.

"Yup, you never know, we might decided to kill you here and now," Jubes told him smirking.

Pietro turned to look at her and made a 'ya right' comment. When he turned around again he saw a knife wheezing through the air heading straight for him. His eyes widened a bit and then closed. When he opened them again he saw Lexa's hand in front of him, slightly bleeding since she had caught the blade.

Pietro looked at Amara who was smirking. "You were saying?" she asked. All the girls smirked as Pietro took a seat next to his sister. X-23 went and washed the knife and put her bleeding hand under luke warm water.

"Ouch, sorry about that," Amara whispered to her.

"It's nothing, I've felt worse things," she answered.

"Ok people. We're gathered here today..."

"OMG who's getting married?" Jubes shouted only to get a bagel thrown at her making it smack her right on the forehead. "Ow..."

Lexa laughed, "Wow, I guess we shouldn't mess with Rogue today, she must be pissed to aim that good. What's up your ass?"

"Lets not gothere," Wanda told her and looked back to Rogue. "Ok, what are we gathered here today for?"

"To talk about the Roberto Da Costa issue. So tell me what yah got?"

"I didn't get anything. I was there to baby sit and that's what I was doing, unlike you, who the hell knows what you were doing," Wanda answered.

Rogue rolled her eyes, "I see you're still bitchy about last night. Here I got you something bitch," she answered and threw her a little scarlet pouch. While Wanda opened it Rogue turned her attention to Lex and Jubilee.

"Well I know how we can do the assassination. I can make a small model and show it to you later but tosummarize it in words: There's a balcony next to his kitchen, actually there's a balcony almost in all the rooms, but that's beside the point.I can go up through the emergency stairs or I'll find a way in. I'll go through the kitchen, which has a door to his living room. There Amara can be strutting her stuff. While she's doing whatever to him I can get him with knock out gas...and I say knock out gas because we're going to need Amara out of the building in order for her to not be a suspect. Once I get there and have him unconscious, Amara leaves. I let him come too, kill him off and when he gets found and the police come, they will determine hour of death. Amara won't be suspected because she would have been long gone AND, she'll have to make sure to get the attendance attention when she leaves so he can become her witness getting her off with a clean alibi."

Rogue smiled for the first time that morning, "Ah love the way you think X. Seems yah'll already have that whole thing plan."

"Yup," Lexa answered beaming, she loved being praised.

"But...ah'm gonna have tah add something tah that."

"What?"

"First off we're gonna need all the security cameras off, Jubes ah'm sure yah'll be able tah do that. Secondly, ah want all of us at the scene checking out the situation from different views and angles."

"That seems like a good plan, AND, I will be able to shut down the cameras from the outside. Yesterday I had X-23 download all the files on Roberto's computer, which I'm happy to say included blueprints of the apartment and the codes of his security camera's including hidden ones. So I can just go into them and turn off the cams from online."

"This just seems tah be getting easier and easier..." Rogue commented and looked at Amara who was silent and looking at the floor looking deep in thought.

"So, when do we act?" Wanda asked while glaring at Pietro who stole the doughnut on her plate and ate it deliciously in front of her.

"That depends."

"On?" Lex asked.

"Amara...how did it go?" Rogue asked making the dark skinned girl look up at her.

"It went as planned. I got his attention and I told him to meet me on Saturday at club Kisses. He didn't really say he'd show cause I let my impatience get the best of me but I think he'll show."

"Then that's it, if he shows up we do it then," Rogue answered and slammed her hand on the kitchen table as to make it official. The others smiled and talked about it a bit. Rogue looked back to Amara who didn't join the conversation.

Feeling eyes on her Amara looked and met her leaders emerald orbs. She smirked and winked then turned and looked out the window, going back to a thoughtful expression.

Rogue looked at her back but then looked at the clock, "Guys, aren't we all forgetting something?"

"What?" Jubes asked while drinking some orange juice.

"Work."

"Shit." (Lexa)

"Crap." (Amara)

"Ahh I'm gonna be late!" (Jubilee)

With that the three stormed upstairs in a hurry to change. Rogue then looked at Wanda and Pietro with a perked eyebrow.

"We're our own bosses, who cares if we're late," Wanda told her while putting on the cross Rogue had gotten her.

"Yah guys sux," Rogue told them and went to change, today seemed like it was going to be a sucky day.

OoOoOoOoLater that day - Hot TopicOoOoOoOo

Rogue rested her elbow on the counter. There weren't many customers in the store today so it was really boring. She had changed the radio station about ten times because no good music was going on, not that it really mattered. Her head was on other things. The Roberto Da Costa issue, the fact that someone stole something she had really liked and looked forwarded to wearing, and oddly enough she also felt that Remy Lebeau was swirling around in her mind.

He had walked her all the way home last night, making him miss the Da Costa ball and making her ditch her leader duties of supervising the situation. She wasn't to worried about that, she knew Wanda could handle the job, but she was a bit worried that she had agreed to walk home with him. As a long time Assassin now, she knew it wasn't smart to let people get close. Mainly because if they were ever attacked friends and loved ones would be the first to go. Also there was the fact that she in a profession that couldn't afford distractions.

As she thought of the word Distraction her mind went to Amara. The young girl seemed very out of it that morning. Rogue had a thought about what was wrong, but she prayed to the heavens...or hell which is most likely where they were going, that she was wrong about what she thought the problem might be. After a couple seconds of not thinking anything and putting a stick of gum in her mouth her mind went back to the one distraction she shouldn't want...Remy Lebeau.

An Assassins worst enemy, a cop. He was charming, he was cute, and he just seemed like a fun guy to hang out with. He had left her in front of the house, giving the back of her hand another peck and telling her that they should do that again sometime. Then he had given her his number, and they parted ways. For some reason that was just engraved her mind. She wanted to say yes to the offer and maybe call him up...but...should she risk it? Assassins and Cops just don't mix...

'ring ring ring'

"Hot topic how may ah help yah?"

"By answering you're damn cell phone" -click-

Rogue perked her eyebrow and then looked at her cell phone, which was on the counter. It was vibrating. 'Shit,' she thought as she picked it up and saw that it was Wanda.
"Hey."

"10 missed calls, what's on your mind that you didn't even see the phone ringing?"

"Tah much shit."

"Still mad about the mystery thief?"

"Ya, that among other things."

"Need to talk about it?"

"Nah, what's up?"

"I think it's time..."

"For?"

"For that little job I want to do."

"Oh, that. This mean yahr gonna want mah and Lex's help?"

"Ya, I think it'd be easier."

"Do yah want tah do it today?"

"Yes..."

"Yah sure yah wanna do it?"

"Hell yes, I'm tired of having to see her face everyday. She took the day off so that's why I think it'd be the best time to do it."

"Have yah called X?"

"No i'm about to after we hang up."

"Ok, where and what time should we meet?"

"Hmmm, meet me at my office during Lunch time."

"Ok then, see yah then."

"K, bye."

Rogue hung up her cell and looked around at the still empty store. She smirked, 'Finahlly, something tah get my head off things,' she thought to herself and looked at her watch. 11:30, in half an hour hell would be raised.

OoOoOoOoLe Cafe BleuOoOoOoOo

Amara sat quietly at one of the tables and watched the other waitress serve some of the customers. She was currently on her 10 minute break and having nothing better to do she just sat down and got lost in her thoughts. She kept remembering the odd look Rogue had given her that morning, it was as if she could read her soul or something. For some odd reason as she thought about her leader she also remembered her home...Nova Roma...the place she had desperately run away from.

Sure being a Princess seemed like a fabulous life...and for a while it was, but she didn't realize how much she loved her freedom until it was almost taken from her. They forced her to run...they forced her to leave the throne...and even though they were her family members, she hoped they rot in hell.

"Anyone ever tell you, you look cute when you're thinking?"

Amara looked up into dark brown eyes. She smirked, she wasn't expecting to see him so soon...but she would be lying if she said she was disappointed.

"No, you have the honor of being the first."

"Lucky me," Roberto answered and sat across from her. Amara looked behind him curiously, her eyes skimming outside the window.

"Where's your personal whore?"

Roberto smirked; he loved thecleverness and wording the girl before him used. Something about her tone, her words, her looks kept pulling him towards her as if she was a magnet. "I came alone," he answered after a while of admiring her.

"Wow, that's a surprise. I didn't think the good looking Roberto Da Costa ever went anywhere alone."

"I came alone but who said I was leaving alone?"

Amara perked an eyebrow at him. "Really now, what ever do you mean?"

"Well, I can assure you that I'm going to leave with something very sweet," as he said this his eyes traveled from her face down to her chest, then to her waist and then to her legs. "Something chocolaty..."

Amara smiled, she loved the way he looked at her. Geeze she was in lust at the moment. 'Why the hell does he have to be so damn good looking?' she asked herself. "Well then," she asked, while her foot rubbed against his under the table. "What do you want?"

Roberto stopped smirking and looked at her deeply not sure of himself. He leaned forward andopened his mouth slowly. She leaned forwardto listen.

"I want...a chocolate chip muffin..."

Amara looked at him without any expression, she then burst out laughing. He smiled and watched her keep laughing for a couple of seconds. She then stopped and smiled, looked at her watch and got up.

"You're lucky, my 10 minutes are up," she told him andstartedto walk away but turned and asked. "Would you like milk with that?"

"Eh, why not," he answered and watched her walk away to the back of the counter.While waiting for her return he asked himself what the hell he was doing there. It was his month anniversary with Taryn he was in a cafe asking a beautiful waitress to get him a chocolate chip muffin, something he could get from his own home. He sighed and smiled beside himself, so what if he was with Amara instead of Taryn, everyone knew he liked women. There just seemed to be something extra special about this girl.

"That'll be $8.50," she told him when she came back. He gave her a 20 and got up.

"Hold on I'll give you change."

"Keep it, see you Saturday," he told her with a wink and walked out. Amara smirked and looked after him but then frowned. 'Guess this means it's a done deal...you'll be dead by Sunday...'

"Waitress!" Amara looked over to the person who had yelled. She gave Roberto once last glance and then went to work.

OoOoOoOo The Acolytes Bar OoOoOoOo

Jubilee turned on the radio. The bar was pretty lonely, like it was pretty much every day. The guys hadn't arrived yet for their little band practices.

"Hey, I had a lil chat with my lover last night."

"Ya, so?" Jubilee asked Kitty as she wiped the bar counter with a clean rag.

"Well, he said you have two admirers in the band," Kitty answered and elbowed Jubilee in the ribs.

"Hey, ow! And ya? Who would these guys be?"

"Like you don't know. You're practically fluttered by one. I'm sure you know who the other is too, a women always knows when guys are into them."

"That's what you say but I'm going to have to disagree. I actually have a friend who...well I really don't know what her relationship is with the guy. I mean...they flirtandtease like crazy...and they act like they've had...sexual relations. But, I don't know, they act like that but they give off an aura as if they aren't together...do you know what I mean?"

Kitty laughed, "Like, not really. It sounds way complicated so I feel bad for your friend."

"Don't she feels confident about what she's doing with the guy."

"Honestly to me it sounds like Friends with benefits."

"That's how it does to me too...but...there seems to be so much more when you look it at in different ways...I dunno. And maybe I shouldn't think about it anymore,after all that's their business right?"

"Ya. Hey lets put some music on in here...it's so quite I think I can hear the mice in the back," she joked.

"Lame," Jubilee told her but turned on the radio. "Hey, Where's Victor? I don't see a lot of him, which is odd cause I thought I'd seem him here all the time. Him being the owner and stuff."

"I don't know. He does own the place but it seems he has another job that's more important. No one really sees him after dark...maybe he's a vampire."

"Ha, ya right. You'll probably never seem me around after dark, I'm not a vampire."

"That's a lie. I heard from a lil birdie that you were here just last night. Off in a dark corner...making googly eyes..."

"Shut up," Jubilee told her and turned the radio up to blur out Kitty's words. She found herself blushing as she did remembered how close she had been with Ray, she got even redder when she remembered the kiss neither of them were expecting.

Jubilee shrugged the feeling off and realized that the song that had begun playing was one of her favorites. She smiled and got her pencil and began singing for Kitty who started giggling.

"You look into my eyes I go out of my mind I can't see anything Cos this love's got me blind I can't help myself I can't break the spell I can't even try"

Kitty got the pen that was in her hair and butted into the song.

"I'm in over my head You got under skin I got no strength at all In the state that I'm in And my knees are weak And my mouth can't speak Fell too far this time"

They both giggled and continued together.

"Baby, I'm too lost in you Caught in you Lost in everything about you So deep, I can't sleep I can't think I just think about the things that you do I'm too lost in you "

"Ahem..."

Jubilee and Kitty stopped. While they were singing they had danced around and they caught themselves with their backs facing the doorway of the bar and their faces staring at all the liquor.

"Did you..."

"Hear something?" Jubilee finished for Kitty.

"Ya..."

They both looked at each other and turned around to look at five amusing smiles.

"Hahahha...don't quit your day jobs ladies," Jamie cracked up and then walked over to where his instrument was. He was followed by Duncan leaving Ray, Lance and Bobby staring at the petite girls.

"Were you singing for me?" Lance asked playfully.

Kitty giggled, "Maybe," she answered and leaned over the counter and gave him a kiss on the lips.

Bobby rolled his eyes and looked at Jubilee sweetly. "You did a nice job."

"Thanks," she answered blushing and avoiding Ray's eyes at all cost. Seeing that he wasn't going to be getting her attention he went off with the others, but not before giving Lance & kitty a disgusted look.

"Get a room will ya..."

"Can't, I'm working," Kitty replied and kissed Lance again.

Ray sat in a stool in front of Jubilee. "Hey...where did you go last night?" he asked.

Jubilee slowly looked up at him, her embarrassment leaving when she looked into his cool blue eyes. "I...uh...went home. Had some business to attend."

"Aw, that's to bad. We missed you," he answered.

"We? Who the hell is we? YOU missed her man, I was fine," Lance told them making Kitty laugh and Ray scratched his head sheepishly.

"They'll be other days," she answered and slide a drink to him.

"What's this?"

"You're usual," she answered with a smile and they started at each other for a while.

"Who needs a room now?" Lance mumbled so only Kitty could hear him. Her only response was a small chuckle and then a shove towards where the others were telling him it was time to Rock. Getting the hint with Lance leaving, Ray gave Jubes a small nod and walked away.

"See, and you act like you don't know," Kitty told her and then walked to the back living the young Asian girl alone.

OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo

Lexa walked into the building, greeted Hank and quickly goton the elevator. To say she was in a hurry and excited about what they were about to do was an understatement. People who might have seen her gaily walking around would have thought she was or had gotten laid. After the elevator 'ding' she got off and almost skipped to Crystal desk.

"Crystal? Is Wanda in?" Lexa asked not bothering to care how much she hated the blond.

"Uh, no she briefly stepped out for a moment."

"Ok, tell her that I'm here," she told her and without knocking or saying anything else to the blonde she opened the door to Pietro's office. She found him walking around with a phone is his hand.

"Ya, ya, ya, ok...ya," he kept repeating and looked at Lexa surprised. She smirked at him and sat down in one of his chair while taking off her tie, blue jacket, unbuttoning her shirt, and undoing her hair from the neat bun it was in.

She crossed her right leg over her left leg giving him a good view of flesh.

"Uh huh..." he said to the phone. Lexa smirked and wondered if he was even paying attention. She got her answer when he started yelling at the other person on the line. "No No No, that's not what I ordered you idiot.

"God I love it when you talk dirty," she commented jokingly. He smirked but walked a bit away from her knowing that if he stayed near her he wouldn't be able to concentrate. She laughed but then stopped feeling eyes on her, and they weren't Pietro's. Her eyes skimmed the room, but she knew she wouldn't find anyone because if there were someone in the room she would have sniffed them out. She then got up and stared outa big window that showed the other tall buildings around the area and the street down below. Her eyes narrowed as she tried pinpointing wherethe intruding eyes and as she felt she was getting closer to them she felt two handswrap around her small waist.

"What?"

Lexa shivered a bit asPietro whispered in her ear. His breath tickled her neck skin softly. "Nothing..." she answered slowly looked away from the window and turnedto him over her shoulder. If she had looked a bit longer she would have seen a figure in purple quickly turn and run away.

Pietro rested his head on her shoulder and looked out the window. "Soto what do I owe this pleasurablesurprise? Couldn't get enough of me yesterday night or what?"

Lexa rolled her eyes. "Whatever, and if you must know I'm actually here for your sister not you. I just came by to say hi."

"What does she have that I don't?" he asked in a serious voice making Lex look at him like he was crazy. After seeing her expression he started laughing making her rollhereyes again.

"Idiot."

"Maybe, but at leastI'm acute idiot."

"True," she answered and felt a big shiver godown her spine ashis lips brushed her neck softly.Lexa took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she was getting fluttered upinside but her head was telling her this was not what she was here for.

"Pietro...not no..."sHe stopped as she felt his tongue flicker on her skin for a brief moment and before she could help it a moan came out her lips.

"Not what?" he asked teasingly as he brushed his face against the side of hers. She turned and faced himand without answering pressedhis lipsto her. His tongue licked her lips and then forced itself into her mouth and explored the walls. His hands started to go up and down her body while her hands went up and traced the curves of his face. They then went up and buried themselves inside his hair. In their mouth they were having a party,her tongue decided to challenge his tongue over dominance and they had a small tongue war, never noticing the eyes on them.

"No wonder yah hate it when she comes over...yah never know when it's safe tah come inside his office."

"Tell me about it."

Lexa and Pietro stopped, stared at each other and then pulled apart. Pietro fixed his hair, which hadgotten a bit messed up by Lexa when she softly stroked it as they kissed.

"Doesn't anyone know how to knock? What the hell am Ipaying Crystal for if she lets just anyone walk in?"

"I'm notjust anyone, I'm your sister and theco-owner of this building so shutup."

"Ohhh, yah got burned!" Rogue teased and sat on Pietro's couch whichby an empty wall.

"You sureyou wanna sit there?" Lexa asked while gathering her stuff. Her comment made Rogue jump off from the seat and look at the couch in disgust. "I was just kidding bitch. Nothing's happenedon that couch...at least not with me," she answered and looked at Pietro in wonder for a couple of seconds.

"Ok, well sorry to have interrupted but we have business to attend. X, my office," Wanda stated and walked out followed by closely by Rogue.

"Right behind ya," she answered and gave a small salute to her back. To then turned to Pietro, "Well I'm off, bye."

Pietro smiled at her, "later."

Before she walked out completely of the room she looked over to the window. "Pietro.."

"Ya."

She hesitated whether she should say anything, she might havejust been paranoid and thought she felt someone watching them. "Be careful".

Pietro looked after her confused not sure what exactly that had meant. He started numbly at the door and after a while just shrugged the advice off and got to work.

OoOoOoOoWanda's OfficeOoOoOoOo

Lexa opened the door and whistled. "Hey sexy lady."

Wanda rolled her eyes, "I don't look that much like my brother you know."

Lexa smirked, "Well you are twins. Anyway I didn't know we were changing here," she stated as she watched Rogue take her top off and take her Assassin outfit out.

"Ya, we're taking my Honda Civic, the one with the dark windows and we're leaving from the back door."

"Alright then," she answered and then a 'poof' was heard as her outfit hit her in the face. "Thanks," she mumbled to Rogue who was putting a small knife in between her garter.

Wanda finished dressing first. Her outfit consisted of black tight pants. They covered her boots at the bottom. Her hair was down and free caressing her shoulders and her top was a black tight corset top with a thin line of white lace curving at the top of her chest area.

By the time Lex was done Wanda was impatiently waitingby a walland Rogue was patiently sitting on a couch that looked like Pietro's but was in red.

"Yah know Wanda yah remind me of a lil gurl who can't wait to open her presents on Christmas morning," Rogue commented getting a glare in return.

"Aww, leave her alone. It's not her fault she likes being an evil bitch like the rest of us," X-23 told her while putting on her trench coat.

"Whateva, lets just go now before it gets later," she answered while getting up and smoothing her short black skirt out. Wanda nodded and pushed a part of the wall in and it unexpectedly it opened.

X-23 looked at in in awe, that being the first time she saw it. "Man, that's so cool," she stated as the walked through the dark corridor. Minutes later they found themselves in Wanda's car, all deep in thought on whether this was a good idea or not...

OoOoOoOo Police Department OoOoOoOo

John looked over a white paper with a lot of words on it. He then sighed and slammed his head on the desk.

"Crime is sure busy these days. All the murders and now freakin robberies...we're gonna be working overtime mate." He looked up to see his partner but saw that Remy wasn't paying any attention to him.

He seemed to be looking at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Allo? Anyone in that head or yours? REMY!"

"Huh? Quoi? Y' say someting Johnny?"

"Ya I was telling you I was gay and that I wanna be your lover."

"WHAT?"

"Just messing with ya, but honestly I could have said something like and asked you to marry me and you might have said yes and it's all cause your heads in the clouds. What are you thinking about anyway? That date we have on Saturday?"

Remy groaned, "Don remind me, I could kill ya for that y' know. Y'lucky yo my partner."

"Ok so I take it it wasn't that Vertigo chick you were thinking about."

"Non," he answered and started going through some files on his desk. "How was de Da Costa ball?" he asked suddenly while flipping through criminal records.

"Oh ya, where the bloody hell where ya? If you had gone ya would know. Anyway it was all right. I met Wanda Maximoff...she was that shelia that was there when we went to see Pietro Maximoff that one time..."

"De dark hair girl he had been talkin ta when we go dere?"

"Ya. She's quite a catch closer up."

"Anything 'appen between you deux?"

"Well, we talked and I asked her to dance but then the weirdest thing happened."

"Quoi?"

"Iono, one minute I was talking to her and I asked her to dance. Then she got a headache and then I heard a loud noise from across the room. Later on when I went to investigate, you know those big frames of the Da Costas that always hang during the balls?"

"The big picture framed ones? Oui, what about em?"

"Two of them fell 'smack' straight into the ground without warning. Some people said they saw a small blue light but iono...any way after I finished that off I go to talk to Ms. Maximoff but 'poof' she had disappeared into thin air."

"Disappointed?" Remy asked finally looking up at John.

John was a bit surprised by the question and even more when he didn't know the answer. Hmm, he sat quietly and pondered over it. It would have been nice to get to know her better, and he had wanted to dance with her.

After a while he got uncomfortable with Remy looking at him as he waited for the answer so instead he asked, "So, what about you? Were the hell did you run off to?"

Remy stayed quiet and just answered, "No where...I just met a very interest femme...and we jus hung out."

"You ditched the ball for a stranger? Whoa mate that's not like you at all, what did she have big jugs?" John asked ad laughed as she leaned back in his chair making the front to legs go up in the air.

Remy glared at him and in a quick movement hit the chair making it wobble for a minute and then fall down with John in it.

"Eyyy...Touch today aren't we," John commented getting up and dusting himself off."

"Whatever mon ami, come lets get back on the Daniel's case."

"Oh ya, forgot about the bloke," John answered and then remembered what Wanda has told him. He then made himself a promise, that he would find that murder...for her.

OoOoOoOoElsewhere OoOoOoOo

Blue eyes looked around, her house was lonely and quiet now that he was gone. She had cried after she found out he was murdered, and for short amount oftimes she just wondered who would have done such a horrible thing. She had even noticed that she had cried more than his widow. She shivered as she thought about it, she had probably cried more about Todd then the day Ray left her.

Todd was a great lover, but he was pathetic. He had been with her...yet she knew he had always loved ...his wife. Wanda Maximoff Lensher...it had always been about her. He had only been with her because Wanda didn't love him...she had never loved him. She sighed and slowly got up from bed. She had called to work and said she felt under the weather and it was past noon now so she decided it was time to rise.

Work...she had to see Wanda everyday, and what made it worse is she knew. Wanda knew about her affair with Todd, she would smirk at her as if she knew something she didn't. She had also become a total bitch after his death. To make things worse Wanda had told the police about her affair with her husband and now she was considered a prime suspect.

She loathed her so much...she had taken her love...shegaveher to much work...and now the cops came to check on her every other day. She shook her head and tried getting those thoughts out of her head and suddenly felt the weirdest feeling...she felt cold eyes on her. The only time she could really remember feeling that way was whenever Wanda's friend and Pietro's whore was around...Lexa Howlett.

Tabitha smiled and shook her head, "God I'm even going paranoid now..."

"Or maybe you're smarter than we first thought..."

Tabitha's head snapped towards the voice. "Ms. Howlet...uh what are you doing here? And how did you get inside my house?"

Lexa smiled as she leaned against the wall. "Hello Tabitha...we're here...for a small visit..."

"We?" Tabitha asked and turned to the opposite corner of the room to find someone else.

Rogue gave a small wave as she stood by the window.

"What is going on? What are you doing in my house? You know I can call the cops on you for trespassing!"

"The cops will be here later...but not cause we're trespassing a voice behind her stated making her turn quickly only to feel herself stumble to the floor as something connected with her cheek.

When Tabitha opened her eyes again she saw Wanda Maximoff in front of her. Her hand went up to rub her red cheek. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Lexa give a small giggle.

"What do you want? I called into to say I wouldn't be at work today..."

Wanda smirked. "I'm not here to yell at you for playing sick today...Tabby..."

Tabitha cringed at the name, that's what Todd had called her.

"I'm actually going to give you a vacation..."

"Yah can call it a permanent vacation."

"In layman's term, you're gonna be reunited with Todd soon. Doesn't that make you happy?"

Tabitha's eyes widened, but not in fear, they widened at the realization.

"One of you did it...one of you..."

"Killed Todd? Ya, you can say that," Lexa finished for her and scratched at the wall she was leaning on. "I have to say it was one of the best assassinations done...no evidence or clues...nothing...the cops are so in the dark..."

"And yahr the main suspect…isn't life great?

"Why? WHY? HE LOVED YOU AND YOU STABBED HIM IN THE BACK!" Tabitha yelled getting up and facing Wanda. She was about to slap her when Wanda brought her own hand up and delivered another blow to Tabitha's face making her stumble back.

"Don't you dare touch me...Todd didn't get that honor and neither will you," she answered. Tabitha glared at the brunette in front of her. Her fist closed and a bright color came out of them.

"You have no idea what you're messing with," she yelled and then let her fist unravel to let little orange balls fall and roll towards Wanda, Lex and rogue.

The girls started at the little balls curiously and Rogue and Lexa picked them up with their hands. Tabitha smirked as they did but frowned when she saw Wanda's hands start glowing a bluish color and it surrounds her small orange balls.

"Wha..."

'BOOM' Tabitha turned to Rogue hoping to see her on the floor but was surprised to see that Both Lexa and Rogue were still standing.

Rogue perked her eyebrow, "Hmm, not onlah are yah a husband stealing peroxide using bitch...but yah also a mutant...interesting..."

"Actually I think she's a natural blonde," Lexa commented out of the blue making Wanda and Rogue roll their eyes at her.

Meanwhile Tabitha started at Rogue in surprise, they new about mutants and before she could think anything else she found her body pressed up against a wall. Her body ached with pain.

"WANDA!"

"I think you were wrong...tabby...it's you who doesn't know who's you're messing with..."

"Wanda, if your plans going to work we can't leave any damage now put her down!" Rogue yelled at her and that's when Tabitha realized she was a couple feet of the ground glowing blue.

"She's right you know...just put her back down so we can knock her out and continue with the original plan," Lexa added.

"Fine," Wanda said and lowered her hands but kept her hold on the blond. "She's all your," she told the dark skinned girl who grinned devilishly and grabbed Tabitha from the back of the neck pulling her head back. "This is going to be fun," she mumbled as Tabitha cried out in pain.

"Just knock her out already," Rogue told them both being really impatient.

Tabitha closed her eyes; Anna's voice was the last thing she heard before she totally blacked out for no reason.

"Ok, knock out gas, checked…now to actually make it look like she killed herself."

"The knock out gas will go out of her system right? So when they do an autopsy nothing but the broken neck will be shown.

"Yup, that was the plan," Lexa answered while carrying the body to the couch. "Who has the calculation for the breaking of her neck done? Cause we need to make it as believable as we can."

"Ah did," Rogue answered and they all stood quiet for a couple of seconds. "So…ah guess I'm gonna be the one jumping huh?"

"Afraid so, good luck and go with god my child," X-23 told her solemnly.

Wanda smirked and went to look at the unconscious Tabitha, "Time to do it Lex, before she wakes."

"On it…"

And then all three went off into their own different directions.

OoOoOoOo Acolytes Bar OoOoOoOo

Jubilee nodded slowly to the music. Ray and the band were messing around with their instruments she was just enjoying the slow music. She was also a bit bored since once again it was another lonely morning at the bar. "Hey, I'm gonna go off now. Dani should be here any min now," Kitty said breezing through.

"K, and good luck with your test."

"Thanks," she called back as she ran towards Lance and gave him a sweet kiss. "I'll see you after class k."

"Alright," he answered and gave her another peck and with that the small brunette left the bar leaving Jubilee with the guys. After a couple moments of silence they started playing again and Jubilee brought her magazine out. Victor once again was nowhere to be seen and Jubes couldn't help but think that was just a bit fishy.

She shrugged the feeling off and flipped through he thin glossy pages of Teen Magazine. She had to look up though when she saw an empty glass out on the counter. Her eyes met blue ones.

"Hey."

"Hi," she answered and then glimpsed back at the article. Bobby frowned, what would it take for this girl to notice him?

"So Jubilee..."

"Ya?"

"Um...I was wondering you were doing something this weekend..."

"I don't think so..."

"Cool do you wanna hang out and stuff?"

Jubilee was reluctant to answer. Sure Bobby was a nice looking boy but honestly she didn't feel any chemistry between them. As her brain scrambled for an excuse she remembered that Rogue wanted everyone at Club Kissed on Saturday for Amara's date.

"Oh ya know what. Sorry but I just remembered I do have plans with my friends...sorry."

"Oh, that's ok...um well can you gimme a water refill?"

She took his cup with a smile," Sure" and filled it up. She also gave a glimpse to the other guys and saw that all their drinks were pretty full except for Ray's. She rolled her eyes and got another cup, filled it up with some Pepsi and gave it to Bobby along with his water.

"Can you give this to Ray? He's so into playing he always forget to refill."

Bobby got an annoyed look but said ok and went off his way. Jubilee watched him go a bit confused but smile and nodded as Ray got his drink and smiled at her as a thank you. She sighed and then went back to her magazine, ignoring the cold look she was getting from a certain blue eyes blond.

OoOoOoOo Tabitha's House OoOoOoOo

THUD! Wanda ran a little to see what the sound was and when she entered the living room a stool on the floor. A little above it were feet...dangling slowly.

Rogue eyes were closed and she was motionless as she dangled from the rope.

"Can you stop playing? We need to get this done fast."

Rogue's emerald eyes opened and her feet stopped dangling as she floated in the air. "Come on, didn't you for a lil sec believe ah was really dead?"

"Since I was the mastermind of this plan...no. So did the stool you were standing on leave a dark spot on the ground when it banged?"

Rogue got out of the rope's noose and started flying; she floated above the spot where the stool had hit hard when she let herself off almost breaking her neck.

"Yup, it's there. This is what is really going to make them believe she hanged herself. How's Lexa with breaking her neck?"

"It's done...we were just waiting for you," Wanda answered and smacked her gloved hands together. Rogue flew down and stopped next to her.

"Alright, lets get her and get the hell out before wefuck this up."

Wanda nodded and they walked towards the kitchen where Tabitha laid on a big paper on the counter. Rogue stared at her carefully. "She doesn't look dead,"

"Well looks can be deceiving, don't we know all about that?" Lexa asked with a wink.

"Anyway, Rogue just pick her up and put her in the noose." Rogue did as instructed and after she finished the three looked at the body hanging from the ceiling.

A fake tear fell from Lexa cheek, "Isn't it Beautiful?" she then sniffed and dug her face into her hands.

"Ya ya it's great, lets go before we leave a trace," Rogue answered making Lex look up.

X23 smirked, "Fine by me and did it hurt?" she asked Rogue who had a red mark around her neck from where rope had stung her.

"No it tickled," she answered walking up the stairs to get out the same way they got in, through Tabitha's bedroom window. Lexa chuckled and neither noticed that Wanda had stayed to admire the corpse a bit longer.

"Well now...looks like all the people I hate are gone from the world. Should make my life easier..." she whispered to herself. Her hands started to glow a faint blue as she remembered what each of them had done to cause her pain. Slightly waving her hand made the nooses around Tabitha's neck get tighter.

"R.I.P Bitch..." she said out loud and followed the path Rogue and Lexa had gone through.

OoOoOoOo The Next Day OoOoOoOo "Hello people of Bayville. It's my duty to report that we must add another death to the list today. Tabitha Smith, some of you may know her as the Mistress of Todd Tolanksy, was found dead by police officers early this morning. Ms. Smith was being checked on for the murder of Todd Tolansky since she was the prime suspect. It seems that she committed suicide, did she Run away from the law? Or was she running towards her to love?"

Jubilee looked at the screen intently. Why was the name Todd Tolansky so familiar she asked herself and tapped her index finger to her head repeatedly. Rogue walked in and watched for a couple of seconds.

"Ah wanna ask what yahr doing but then again ah'm not to sure ah wanna know..."

"I'm thinking," she answered.

"About?"

"Well the Vertigo news lady was just on and she was talking about someone dying and she said a name that sounded very familiar but I don't know from where," as she finished she looked up and saw that Rogue had gotten some soda and started to walk out of Kitchen.

"Don't think to hard...it might be bad for yah," she answered before disappearing.

Jubilee rolled her eyes. It was Thursday afternoon and they had all finished working and she was bored out of her mind. Rogue was just hanging out and watching TV in the living room. Lexa was currently taking a shower, Wanda was at her office and Amara was upstairs trying to pick the outfit that she would wear on her date on Saturday leaving the pretty Asian alone. She was now in the kitchen thinking about baking a cake to keep her occupied but she was distracted by the news.

"Hey," Amara interrupted her thinking by walking in.

"Hi," Jubilee answered.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What makes you think there is something wrong?"

"I dunno, you usually answer with a 'HEY!' nice and chirpy."

"Oh, I'm just thinking."

"I didn't know you knew how to do that," Amara teased and the regretted it when a ball of flour hit her on the head making floor pour all over her head and face. "BITCH!"

"Takes one to know one."

"You would know," Amara answered and threw an egg at her. Soon food was being thrown everywhere, which was really bad timing cause a beautiful clean X-23 decided to get a snack.

'SPLAT'

Everything got silent and then an "ARGGGGGG" was heard.

"Oh oh..." Jubilee mumbled. Lexa whipped chocolate substance off her face.

"WTF is going on?"

"Oh...I was doing some thinking but them Mara came and bugged me!" Jubilee answered quickly. Lexa glared but before she could say anything else the volume of the TV rose and they heard...

"To get a full analysis on the Tabitha Smith Suicide join us later in the hour...we will be determining if Todd Tolansky was in fact that reason she has left this world..."

"Todd Tolansky? Isn't that the name of Wanda's dead husband?" Amara asked.

"AHA! So that's why his name sounded so damn familiar," Jubilee mumbled. Lexa started at the TV intently and then at the reason the volume had been raised. Rogue smirked.

"Wow, she committed suicide?" Amara asked and then saw X-23 and Rogues exchange, "or maybe it was something else..."

Jubilee gaped at them, "YOU WENT WITHOUT US? That is so mean!" Rogue rolled her eyes and answered, "Clean this room up now," and with that she left the room.

Lexa glared at Amara and Jubes, "You heard the woman, I'm gonna go take another shower" and with that she left. Jubilee frowned but started cleaning up but Amara looked after them carefully and then turned her attention where Vertigo Essex was still mentioning something about Tabitha Smith.

OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo

'Ring'

"Hello Wanda Maximoff speaking how may I help you?"

"Ms. Maximoff, I'm from the daily news. I'm sure you've heard about the Smith incident and since she was your husbands' lover I was wondering what you thought about this? What are your feelings?"

"I'm sorry but I have no comment to say to you. If you would like a statement talk to my publicist who had all the information you'll need. Please don't call again."

'Dial tone'

Wanda rolled her eyes, she'd be getting these phone calls all morning and it was driving her crazy. She was sure there would be reporters waiting outside which was the reason she had stayed inside the building so long. Usually she would be at her house and or at the Mansion with the others but for now she was cornered in her office. Feeling bored she got up from her chair and started walking towards Pietro's office. Crystal wasn't at her workstation cause now she was also her sectary. When Wanda walked in she saw that Pietro was looking at a framed picture intently with a soft look on his face.

Wanda rolled her eyes knowing what the picture was of, it was one of Her father and Pietro when he was younger. "Hey," she commented and sat down. Pietro looked up at her, "Sup," he asked and started messing with papers on his desk.

"Nothing, just bored but I think I'll wait a bit longer to leave."

"So, you guys have anything to so with the Tabitha thing?"

Wanda put on an innocent face, "Why dear brother, haven't you heard the news? It was a SUICIDE, not a murder."

Pietro snorted, "I wouldn't be surprised. You know a cop is gonna come by later this week to ask about her since she was your employee."

"I don't care, I had nothing to do with it and she had called in sick that day," Wanda answered with shrug. Having nothing better to do she grabbed the picture Pietro had been staring at. "You really miss him don't you?"

Pietro cruelly took the picture back. "Just because you didn't get along with him that great doesn't mean I wouldn't miss him...I'll find the son of a bitch that got him..."

Wanda leaned her head to the side and looked at her older brother. "What will you do when you find him?"

Pietro smirked, "Why do you think I keep you guys around for? Can you say revenge? I'm going to make sure the bastard dies nice and slowly when I find out who he is..."

Wanda looked at the back at the frame and then back at Pietro she then started to get up and whispered, "Be careful what you wish for..."

"What?" Pietro asked hearing only small mumbles.

"I said I'm gonna be on my way now. Hey are you doing anything this weekend?" she asked.

"Um...I don't know, gotta check my schedule. Why?"

"We're going clubbing, so you wanna join us?"

"Um...probably not."

"Awww, too bad, I'm sure a certain brown haired beauty isn't going to be happy to hear that."

Pietro looked up at his smirking twin. "I might have work to do...bit if not...I'll think about it."

Wanda kept her smirk; "Well then, I'll just make sure to tell Lex not to get her hopes up. Later."

"Bye..." he answered and watched the door close behind her. He inhaled deeply then and looked back to the picture of his father and himself. 'I will avenge you...father…'

OoOoOoOo Next Day (Friday) OoOoOoOo

Wanda opened the door to the Mansion without even knocking and found that the house was way to quiet. There was defiantly something going on.

"Hello?" she called and made the brief walk to the living to find it empty. 'Maybe no one is home...' she thought and made her way upstairs. The first door she came to was Amara's and before opening it she gave a small knock.

"Hey..." Amara greeted when she saw who it was.

"Hey...where is everyone? It's like a damn ghost town around her..."

"Um...I'm not sure. Rogue and Lexa are probably in the attic doing I dunno what. I think Jubilee is in her room going over the blueprints to Roberto's house."

"What are you doing?"

"Picking my outfit for tomorrow. I have to look extra delicious...it's not everyday I go out with someone who's like royalty."

"Not what I heard."

Amara snapped her head towards the scarlet witch. "You've been talking to Wolverine?"

"No, X-23 has...guess you can say they're...close."

Amara looked back to her closet. "What else did he say?"

"I don't know. It's in the past...does it really matter?"

"According to you no..."

The both got silent. "All right then i'm gonna let you keep thinking about your outfit," Wanda stated after a while and closed the door. She looked at the door across from Amara's and decided not to bug Jubilee since she was probably doing something important. Instead she walked deeper into the hallway until she reached the spot under a big squared opening in the ceiling. Seeing no stairs, her hands started glowing blue and she slowly started to rise into the air. She stopped once she was in the hole and was able to step onto the wooden floor.

"Hey," Lexa called out to her when she saw her. Wanda nodded in greeting and looked around.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Getting some stuff ready for tomorrow," Rogue answered and held up a book filled with metal gas balls. X-23 held small circular knifes with sharp edges poking out of it.

"Why didn't you stop by yesterday?" Lexa asked.

Wanda shrugged, "The media had their eyes on me. They wanted to know what I thought about the whole Tabitha Smith thing."

"Yah ready fohr tomorrow?"

"Yeah and I think Pietro MIGHT come."

"Really? Interesting..." Lexa murmured with a grin.

"Sick." Rogue mumbled as she looked at the dark skinned girl.

"Maybe not that interesting...he's still fixated on finding father's killer..."

The three stayed quiet.

"Yah know he's bound to figure it out sometime...it's something you can't run away from forever," Rogue's voice broke the silence. Wanda and Lexa stayed quite. "I'm actually surprised he still hasn't figured it out," she added.

"I think he knows, or at least has suspicions about it but I think he keeps it hidden from himself...so no one will get hurt" Wanda stated.

"Does it matter? Someone is eventually going to get hurt," Lexa, answered looking off into the distance.

"He said he was going to kill them when he finds out who it was, or I guess I should say he said he would sic us on them."

"Great," X-23 answered sarcastically.

"Lets not think about that now, we have bigger things tah worry about at the moment than the past," Rogue told them and they started rummaging though the boxes of weapons.

OoOoOoOo Jubes Room OoOoOoOo

Jubilee yawned and looked away from her computer screen. She was practicing what she would do the next day to turn off the security cameras at the apartment where Roberto lived. As she thought about how difficult it was going to be she brought her hands up and massaged her temple, just thinking about it was giving her a headache. She stopped holding her head though when she heard a soft knock on her door.

"Come in."

"Hey," Amara poked her head inside the room.

"Hello, you done picking your outfit yet?"

"Ya," Amara answered softly without much enthusiasm.

"What's with you? You don't look good."

"Nothing...just tired I suppose." she answered and plopped on Jubilee's bed.

"Mara, we trained together. We're best buds...I know when something's wrong with you...when something's on your mind...what is it?"

"I..."

"Yo, Rogue wants us in the living room to go over the plan one more time. Just to make sure everything goes according to plan," X-23 stated walking in. She saw the intent looks the younger girls were giving each other and she asked, "Did I come at a bad moment?"

"Not at all," Amara answered hopping off the bed and as her feet touched the ground her whole body became inflamed. "I'm so ready to do this," she answered and walked out the room towards the living room.

Jubilee watched her go carefully and then both her and Lex where gone towards the room where the others where. Less then a minute later they were all gather around the room. Rogue was on the counter moving her drink in circles before taking a swing at it. Wanda was on the couch with a cigarette in between her index and forefinger; small circles of smoke came out gracefully from her lips. Jubes sat on one of the couches arm with her lab top was on her lap. Lexa was sitting on the floor with her knees up, her back was leaning against the wall and her hands were playing with a small sharp dagger. Amara was standing, leaning on the same wall but her hands were above her head in a sexy matter as she relaxed.

"So everyone knows where have tah be tomorrow night right?" Before anyone could even answer the phone rang and Jubilee eagerly picked it up.

"Hello, you've reached our Hott Hott Sex line...please hold for the gender of your preference," she then got the receiver away from her, giggled and gave the phone to an annoyed looking X-23.

"Hello?" she asked carefully wondering who was on the other line.

"Ok, that was freaky and I was about to hang up."

Lexa smiled warmly recognizing the voice. "Ha, you're such a loser, but at least you've got the gender you prefer right?"

"You've got that right."

"So what's up? Are you coming with us tomorrow?"

"Nope, that's actually why I'm calling. I have a meeting with Agatha Harkness...I need one of you to play bodyguard for me."

"Wha? Why?"

"Lex...I feel like I'm being watched..." Pietro whispered slowly.

OoOoOoOo Saturday OoOoOoOo

"Ok, why do I have to go?" Lexa whined while re-adjusting her gray mini skirt. She had a matching gray business suit jacket, even though it was a business suit, Lexa's sex appeal shone out beautifully. "He's your brother…" she yelled.

"Ya, well he's your ------," Wanda countered.

"Hahaha…funny…NOT!"

"Look Lex. I'd love to go. I haven't had a nice chitchat with Agatha for a while, but Rogue has made it clear that she wants me on this mission. We need Jubes because she's the security alarm disabler, Amara is the bait and Rogue wants to be there to monitor."

"But who's gonna kill HIM? That was MY job."

"Lex, hush up and get going. Pietro just arrived," Rogue told her walking in.

"Grrr…I HATE YOU!" she yelled as she walked past them.

"Love yah too sugah."

Lexa kept growling until she walked into the living room where Pietro was browsing around looking at the pictures as if he had never been there before.

"Boo."

"Hey, I didn't know you were the one coming with me."

"What can I say? Looks like I can't stay away from you," she answered. He gave a small chuckle and asked, "You ready to go?"

OoOoOoOo Agatha Harkness OoOoOoOo

"PIETRO!" an Elderly woman with gray hair greeted warmly.

"Agatha, hi," he answered and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Where's that lovely sister of yours?"

"Unfortunately she couldn't make it, but I'm here."

"Yes. Good. We have business to attend," she answered. Lexa stood behind Pietro feeling a bit out of place. Pietro turned to her.

"Lexa, this is Agatha Harkness A very good family friend and almost a second mother to Wanda and me. Agatha this is Lexa Howlett."

"Nice to meet you," Lex stated shaking her hand.

"Ah, Ms. Howlett. Nice to meet you, you have quiet a grip. And I've heard a lot about you…"

"You have? Don't believe everything he says. He's a liar."

Agatha chuckled, "Well you were right, she's quiet 'cute'. and with that she walked into her office. Pietro looked after her and avoided Lexa's gaze which was on him.

"Well…you stay out here and I'll be back in a few minutes."

"But I thought you wanted me to be around?"

"Ya, just make sure now one comes in except maybe someone with drinks."

"Hmmkay…" she answered and watched him disappear into the office. Lexa sat down at a chair and her leg kept bobbing up and down. She was impatient and not only that but she had to go to the bathroom. Not being able to hold it in she got and went in search of the rest room.

A couple of minutes she came back and she saw pretty raven-haired women come out of the office. She was pulling out a chart with some coffee pots, seeing Lexa for the first time she bowed. As she did some of the coffee from one of the pots spilled onto the floor. The Asian women ignored it and kept pushing her white cart. Lexa watched her go and then made her way back to the chair where she had been sitting. Before she reached it she stopped in front of the stain where the coffee had fallen. Her nostrils flared up…she smelled danger.

X-23 barged into the office in a heartbeat, once inside she found Agatha drinking from her cup. Across from her sat Pietro and he was lifting his cup up to his lips. Without waiting for them to notice her presence she walked over to Pietro and knocked the cup out of his hands.

"Lexa what the hell?" Pietro yelled as the coffee spilled over what seemed like important documents.

"It's POISONED!" she yelled and as soon as the words come out of her lips Agatha started making grueling noises. Her hands went up to her neck and she squeezed at it as if trying to get something out. Pietro and Lexa couldn't do anything but watch her cough and choke. A couple of seconds later…she fell onto the floor…motionless.

OoOoOoOo TBC OoOoOoOo
