OoOoOoOo Chapter 6 OoOoOoOo
Amara looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black mini skirt, a black tank top and a cut up white shirt that was really tight, it was cut off at the shoulders and the way it stuck to Amara's body was two straps around her arms. The cut off shirt had the word "royalty" in glittering red on the chest area.
"Hey, time to go," Wanda stated walking into the bathroom. She was wearing a red and black corset with tight black pants that showed of her curves nicely.
"Ok, where's Jubes?"
"Rogue took her to Roberto's building. She's gonna start turning the security cameras and alarms off."
"Are they gonna meet us at the club?"
"Jubes isn't she gonna stay on Roberto's building until the whole deal is done. Rogue will be around though."
"All right lets go."
OoOoOoOo At the club OoOoOoOo
"This is where we split. I'll keep a watch on things," Wanda stated and walked towards the bar. Amara watched her go and then stood alone for a couple of minutes. Her head bobbing up and down. Show turned around though when she felt a small touch on her shoulder.
"Hey," Amara greeted with a sly smile.
"Hi, wanna dance?" Roberto asked.
Amara grinned and took his hands then dragged him to the dance floor. When they got there she put his hands on her hips as her back pressed into his chest. She slowly started going down on him grinding to the beat of the song. Roberto grinned and guided her hips around.
"Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call Baby night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you"
Amara sung softly along with Madonna's voice, which was blaring all over the club. As she did she arched her back up making her face come up and curve into Roberto's neck. She grinned evilly and gave his neck a small lick then continued to grind. Both young adults smirked at each other loving the way the night had started.
OoOoOoOo Nearby OoOoOoOo
John and Remy were bored out of their minds. Vertigo was talking and talking; it was as if her motor mouth never shut up. Remy occasionally nodded and chuckled to whatever she was saying, even though John wasn't sure if he was actually listening.
Emma Frost sat next her friend looking a bit bored as well. She had tried talking, playing footsies, and flirting with John but the red head had paid no attention to her whatsoever. John had been looking around and when he brought his drink up to take a sip he noticed it was empty.
He stood up and asked Emma, "Wanna refill?"
"Sure," she answered happily since he had remembered she was there. He nodded and left, when he reached the bar he rested his elbows on the counter and sighed.
"Two Margaritas please," he told the bartender.
"Well well well…fancy meeting you here…once again over drinks."
John looked over at the voice and saw Wanda Maximoff looking absolutely stunning. Her eyes were on her drink so he wondered how she knew he was there.
"Ya, drinking must be our lucky charm," he answered as he waited for the drinks. "So what brings you here? And aren't you to young to be drinking anyway?"
Wanda considered how to answer, after all this guy is a police officer. "When you're rich does it really matter?"
John laughed and answered, "You're lucky I'm off duty."
"Maybe," she answered and then added, "Someone's waiting for you." She nodded towards the table where Remy, Emma and Vertigo were sitting at. John looked at the table and then at Wanda with a perked eyebrow, 'So the shelia did see me before I saw her…' he thought to himself.
"Ya unfortunately."
"Not having a good time?"
"You can say that again. I have a feeling it could be better," he answered while looking at her.
Wanda smirked and got up from her stool. As she got up her body pressed up against his.
"Well…the night is young, things can still change," and with that she turned and walked away leaving John with a margarita. He looked at it and then at her.
"That little margarita thieve," he mumbled with a smile and made his way back to the table while thinking of an excuse to tell Emma about why he "forgot" her drink.
OoOoOoOo Rooftop OoOoOoOo
Jubilee sat on the rooftop of the building across from Roberto's building. The only loud sound was the click of her keyboard. Every once in a while she would stop and look at the bright light coming from the moon. For a brief moment she wondered if everything was going as planned. As she kept looking at the moon she felt a cold shiver remembering what day it was…her eyes closed as she tried relaxing and stop the bad memories from coming. But the memories came anyway…a vivid picture of her parents bathed in blood…the bruises of fingertips on her body…all that she wanted to forget.
Today was her one-year anniversary as an Assassins, her training had began a year ago with the Wolverine. The best of the best. She subconsciously rubbed her arms and legs with her hands, as the air got chiller.
'BANG' she could still here the gunshot…the screams…her aching body…the bruises…the things that had led her to cause pain to others. The events that had caused her thirst for blood.
She could still see the night her parents died, as if it had happened the night before. They had gone out for dinner that night. Her parents had been in a good mood because they had bought her 3 scoops of ice cream, but the happy night would soon turn grave. He had come out of nowhere and tried taking her mothers purse. If her father hadn't fought back maybe they would still be alive, maybe she wouldn't be a killer, and maybe they would all be living happily ever after. But he had tried fighting and he got shot for it, then the thief had turned to her mother and shot her too, right in front of her eyes. He would have gotten her as well if it hadn't been for the sirens in the distance. He had ran leaving her all alone. She remembered kneeling by her parents begging them to wake up. When the officers finally arrived she was bathed in their blood.
Then foster hell started. She had stayed in an orphanage for 6 months, her powers emerged while she was there and she was considered a freak. When she finally learned how to control them she was able to hide them and a kind family that only wanted her as a slave soon adopted her. They had made her clean up, cook, and bath the dogs...you could say she had been a bit like Cinderella but the only way she had found her happy ending was by running away from them. She had gotten tired of the bruises...but she liked the blood...she liked watching it squirt out of her wounds. Maybe that's what had started it, the reason she became an assassin...maybe it was that she wanted to case pain to others like it was caused on her.
Jubilee shook her head and opened her eyes to find herself now standing up on the ledge of the building. She looked down to see the empty street and for a brief moment wondered what it would feel like to fly down... She jumped off the other side and stood next to her laptop, then knelt down and continued the job. Rogue would kill her if things won't ready when Amara and Roberto arrived.
She gave the past one last thought and mumbled, "Life is such a bitter sweet bitch."
OoOoOoOo Club Kisses OoOoOoOo
Anna walked into the club with her head up high. She wondered where Wanda would be, most likely at the bar with a fake id. That girl loved to smoke and drink, something that had gotten them to get along wonderfully when they trained with Logan. She made her way towards the bar thinking that's where she would be and never noticed the eyes that suddenly turned towards her.
She went to the bar but found no one that even resembled Wanda so she started walking towards a dancing crowd while getting her cell phone out and sending a text message to the Scarlet Witch.
'Hei, where r u?' as she pushed the send button she bumped into something strong and firm.
"Oh ah'm...not sure if ah'm sorry..." she faded off as she saw who it was.
"Ah, Ms. Darkholme, I'm starting to get de idea dat y'ur following me..."
"Are yah sure it's not the other way around Mr. Lebeau?"
"Non...be den again maybe it's just destiny...and I thought we had agreed ta stop the formalities," he answered with a smile.
"Ya, ah guess we just weren't ready for this surprise...Remy..."
Remy watched her lips as they said his name, for some reason the way she said it still just drove him crazy.
"So what brings ya here?" he asked while getting up close and personal with her. She smirked as she felt his hands wrap around her waist.
"Ah came tah have a bit a fun...yah?" she answered as slid her arms up his and onto his shoulders.
"Got dragged on a date..."
"Oh, than is it really a good idea to be her with meh?"
Remy looked up as if he was thinking, "Probably not...mais...what she doesn't know won't hurt her...much."
Anna smiled but shook her heads. "Ah'd be careful Remy, a women scorned can be one of the most deadly things in the world."
He thought about it but didn't give a reply. The music started speeding up though as Sean Paul's "we be burning" came on making both Southerners body temperatures rise as they grinded into each other. As the song finished though someone shoved Rogue hard to the side, she looked up to see a blonde. It was the same blond that had been at Hot Topic a couple days ago and Rogue also recognized her as the news reporter on TV.
"What do you think you're doing Skank?" she shouted and brought her hand up to slap Anna. Anna easily caught it and pushed it away from her, Emma walked behind Vertigo and perked her eyebrow at her as if finding something odd. Remy also perked his eyebrow as he noticed Anna's quick reflexes, they could easily match his...
Anna looked at her and then at Remy, "This what yahr running away from?" she asked.
"Uh..." Remy stayed looked from one girl to the other.
"WHAT? He's not running away from ME! You're trying to steal him away," Anna looked at Vertigo with a smirk, her eyebrow rose up.
"Oh really?"
"YA."
Anna laughed while Remy glared at Vertigo. "Ok, sure, whateva..." she stopped laughing though as she caught Roberto and Amara in the distance. "Ah'd love tah stay and fight over a guy that has no interest in yah...but ah have other business to attend. Remy, ah'll call yah," she told him as she winked and walked through a group of dancers.
Remy watched her go but turned away when something smacked him on the chest.
"How could YOU? I though we..."
"Vertigo...petite...this is only a date...don't think to much of it." The blond broke into tears and ran away. Emma Frost glared at Remy and followed her friend, as soon as they were far away John laughed and after a while quieted down and said, "I think you should go after them mate..."
"Why?"
"Cause your the one who drove them and making them walk would be jacked up."
"What about toi?"
"I brought my car, I'll leave later."
"Daccord, I'll see y' tomorrow den." Remy answered, his eyes through his glasses still staring off at the direction Anna had gone towards.
"Later gator," John answered chirpily and watched him go. After he was gone he looked around, his eyes looking for something to make his night fun.
OoOoOoOo Elsewhere in Club Kisses OoOoOoOo
Roberto took Amara's hand and walked her over to a table where an expensive looking wine awaited them.
"You're gonna hate me for this but I'm underage," Amara shouted at him since talking normally wouldn't get her anywhere in the loud room.
Roberto laughed, "So am I…but when you have money it doesn't really matter." She nodded and Roberto watched as she took a small sip. He smirked, "Have you ever had wine before?" he asked.
She nodded, "Ya…but to be honest I'm not much for a drinking. Guess you can say after a while royal luxuries just make you sick."
He perked an eyebrow not sure what to make of the statement which made Amara realize that she let something about her past slip. Royalty.
She laughed a little and gave him a smirk before drinking the rest of her wine in one shot. She licked her upper lip after she was done and gave him one of the lustiest look anyone could manage.
He smirked while looking intently at her. He then leaned over to her while she moved her head to the rhythm of the music. She stopped when she felt his breath on her ear.
"You wanna know something?"
She looked over to him making their noses touch. "What?" she asked trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.
"I like you…"
She smirked, "How many girls have you gotten to go to bed with you with that line?" she asked.
He didn't smile back which made Amara lose her smile.
"It's not a line…if I just wanted to sleep with you I'd tell you. It's what I've always done in the past. My one-night stands KNOW that's all they are because I tell them. I can't stand them clinging around so I tell them I expect them to be gone when I wake up. But you…you're different."
"Why?" Amara asked, the question coming out in a small whisper.
"I don't know…it must be that you almost seem like an angel…with a dangerous sex appeal…its hott," he answered and smirked again.
Amara smirked again too, "A fallen angel…" she whispered. The both looked at each other and then around at the club. The crowds were big and wild. Roberto leaned over to Amara again.
"Wanna go?" he asked. Amara nodded.
"You place or mine?" he asked as he helped her up by holding her hand.
"Yours, I have room mates."
He nodded and with their hands intertwined they made their way outside. Amara didn't have to look behind her to feel the emerald eyes following her and Roberto's figure. It didn't bug her that they were being watched, after all the was the plan. But Amara was bugged by something…the way her heart had started speeding up at Roberto's words.
OoOoOoOo Outside Club Kisses OoOoOoOo John sighed as he walked out into the alley of Club kisses. He hadn't found what he was looking for, so he decided to go outside and play with something he loved, fire. When he got there though he saw that he would be playing with a different kind of fire.
"You know thief, I'm starting to think that these meetings have been planned."
"One, I'm not a thief. I could buy the world if I wanted to. Two, you owed me a drink so I just took yours. Three, you would know if these meetings are planned because you're the one planning them," Wanda finished and took a drag of her cigarette.
John smiled and leaned on the wall next to her. "Nah, I'm a cop. We don't do that."
"There is such a thing as a corrupt cop."
"Ya well I'm not one of them. I think cops like that are stupid and a disgrace to the country. To be a cop and fight for justice to break the law later. There's no point to it.."
"True but maybe they don't know they're breaking the law. Or they like the excitement, you know the thrill of getting caught, OR they find themselves in a situation where they just can't help themselves…"
John looked at the young girl next to him intently. 'Beauty and brains…' he thought to himself. Wanda caught the way he was looking at her and looked down. His eyes were having an affect on her.
"Want one?" she asked offering him a cigarette to change the subject and atmosphere
"Thanks," he answered and took one. She then watched him bring it up to his lips and light it with a lighter that seemed to come out on nowhere. They both stayed quiet and Wanda started at him as he played with the flame coming out of the lighter. He would pass his fingers through the burning ember and even hold his fingers there for a while; it in no way look like it was hurting him.
"You know, Fire is the most beautiful element in the world…" he murmured in what seemed like a daze.
"True…but you have to be careful with it…because if you play with it for to long you just might get burned."
John looked at her sapphire eyes as she said this and when she looked up she met his gaze. Both their eyes seemed to be glued with each others as if a magnetic pull made it impossible to look away.
"So…how your date?" Wanda asked changing the subject as well as her standing position.
"It went wonderful, she left."
Wanda chuckled gently. "Wow. I've never met a guy so happy to have a date end."
"I'm not surprised luv. Who would be stupid enough to want to end a date with you?"
Wanda turned and faced him. He was staring off into the distance.
"Mr. Allerdyce…" she said making him turn to look at her. He was ready to be scolded thinking she was mad at him for hitting on her but instead he found her smirking at him. "I believe you owe me a dance…"
He returned the smirk, "I believe you're right…" and with that he stretched out his hand and took hers. Then they made their way back into the club where the music was blaring.
OoOoOoOo Harkness Building OoOoOoOo
Pietro sat on a chair with his head in his hands. He smelled the aroma of coffee and when he looked up he saw a white cup in front of him.
"Here, this might make you feel better. And don't worry I made it…"
"Thanks," he replied and took it. His hands brushed against the soft skin making both of the shiver at the contact. 'This was not a good place or setting to think about things like that' Pietro scolded himself as Lexa took the seat next to him. They both stayed quiet and watched as police officers investigated inside of Agatha's office. She was still there, lying on her back motionless. After it had happened Lexa took Pietro's hand and dragged him out of the office telling him not to touch anything. Then they forced the sectary to call the cops.
"Sorry to interrupt you again Mr. Maximoff, but I wanted to make sure we have all the information we can get."
"I understand officer," Pietro answered with a nod.
"Thank you. So do you wanna add anything else?"
"No, we've already told you everything we know."
"So it was an Asian looking woman, with dark long raven hair, purple eyes…and is that all?"
"Um…I also think she had a British accent…" Pietro added.
"Ok, thank you and sorry for bothering you." Pietro nodded and the officer left leaving the couple alone.
"You ok?" Lexa asked him while taking his hand and giving it a small squeeze.
"Ya. I just can't believe this happened…it could have been me…and Agatha is dead…"
"I know…I'm sorry about that…but honestly I'm glad it wasn't you," she answered in a small whisper. Pietro looked at her and gave her lips a small peck.
"It's all thanks to you…if you had been a second later I could have…"
"Don't say that," she told him as she rested her head on his shoulder. Pietro sighed and looked around. "Should we call your sister?"
"No, there is nothing she can do…aren't they on a job?"
"Ya. I guess we'll just tell her later when you take me home."
"Ya," he answered and then put his head on hers. The both just sat quietly with each other letting what had happened sink in and just be thankful that nothing worse had happened.
Lexa especially thanked the heavens that Pietro was ok, and before she knew it she found her self-falling asleep as she listened to his heartbeat.
OoOoOoOo Unknown Place OoOoOoOo
"Did you get him?"
"No."
"WHAT?" he growled.
"Forgive me. It really wasn't my fault though. He was about to drink the poison when a women he brought with him stopped him. Agatha Harkness is dead though."
"This was suppose to be an easy job, killing two birds with one stone. What went wrong?"
"It was that woman with him, she seemed to have known some how. I dropped a bit in the waiting room and it was as if she picked the scent. After she smelled it she went in and stopped Maximoff from drinking it."
"I wanna know who she is…"
"I tried reading her mind as she passed me by…but…"
"What?"
"She seemed to have a shield…I believe she's a mutant."
"Hm…a mutant that can pick up faint smells…what did she look like?"
"Dark skinned, brown hair, aggressive features, hazel eyes…"
"Was it the same girl from earlier?" A different voice asked.
"Ya," she answered.
"It can't be…"
Both young adults looked at their leader.
"What is it?" the Asian woman asked.
"Wolverine…" was the small mumbled answer. "Find out everything you can about that girl!" with that the other two left in a hurry leaving their angry leader alone.
OoOoOoOo Roberto's building OoOoOoOo
Rogue stopped her motorcycle in an alley in front of Roberto's building. She got up and started dialing Jubilee's number but before she pressed dial something fell from the sky making her look up.
Jubilee grinned and waved at Rogue from the rooftop a couple stories up. Rogue pressed send and when Jubilee picked up she got…
"YOU'RE ALL THE WAY UP THERE AND AH'M DOWN HERE. THAT COULD HAVE KILLED MEH!"
Jubilee giggled on the phone, "Hello you are indestructible, I'm sure you'd be fine.
"So what are yah doing over there anyway? Aren't yah suppose tah be on Roberto's building?"
"Ya but then I discovered that I can see into his apartment from her so I was like, 'what the hey' and come over her instead."
"Jubes, you're a crazy nut…anyway did yah get the security camera's off?"
"Yessss…where the others?"
"Wanda got interrupted. I saw her with some guy but I beeped her so she should be here soon. As for Amara she should be…"
"Ahh they're here…" Jubilee interrupted and both of them watched as Amara and Roberto walked up the steps of the building and walk in laughing.
"Well…step 2 is done…all we need now is to let them be in there for a while and for Wanda to get her damn ass here…"
"You called?" Wanda asked showing up from the shadows.
"That was fast…who's this guy?" Jubilee asked through the phone.
Wanda ignored her and looked at Rogue. "So now we split right?"
"Ya, yah should go on the rooftop of his building. Easier for you to get in," Wanda nodded and disappeared. Rogue looked up at Jubes gave a small and went a different way.
'It won't be long now…' Rogue thought as she walked away.
OoOoOoOo Roberto's Apartment OoOoOoOo
Amara whistled when she stepped into the apartment. "nice…"
"Thanks," Roberto answered with a smile.
"So…how many girls do you bring here a week?" Amara asked.
"Does it matter?"
"Ya, I'm sorry but I'm not like your girlfriend Taryn. I'm not a whore…"
Roberto smirked. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you…"
"Wow, that huge?"
"No, and that's the reason you won't believe me."
"How many?"
"In a week…1. But honestly it has been a while since I've brought someone home. I have to much work now…and Taryn is way clingy."
Amara smirked, "I can tell, how did you get rid of her today?" she asked as Roberto handed her a coke while he got so liquor for himself. Amara stared at the coke oddly.
"For the angel," he answered with a smile then added, "I told Taryn I was going out of town, she bought it."
"That's a shock," Amara answered and opened the coke and took a sip as Roberto but his drink down and sat on his long couch.
"Ya. Oh well. You wanna just sit and tal…" Roberto was interrupted as Amara lips crashed into his. He blinked a little surprised because he wasn't expecting this but he relaxed and started to return the kiss.
Amara slowly climbed on top of him putting her in a straddling position. Her lips quickly traveled from his mouth down to his jaw and then to his neck. Roberto couldn't help moan as her soft lips gave the crook of his neck soft kisses.
"So much for an angel," he whispered as she kept nibbling at his neck.
She smirked into the crook of his neck. "Even angels can be tempted...I guess you can say your my temptation," she answered making him smile.
From a far away distance Jubilee watched the two making out. She smirked and then dialed Rogue's speed dial.
"Hey..."
"Send Wanda over now...they both seem...distracted enough."
"K."
Back at the apartment Amara was still straddling Roberto and her lips returned back to his face. Her mouth was on his and she nibbled and bit at his bottom lip as his hands explored her curvaceous body.
Wanda could hear the small noises they were making and she rolled her eyes as she quietly started making her way inside what looked like the kitchen.
She quietly kept inside and looked around. Her hands started glowing blue and she walked closer to the door leading to the living room where the major make out was taking place.
Amara opened her eyes as Roberto started flipping her around to be on top of her. It was getting close...she could feel it. Her eyes started burning with fire.
Wanda walked by the counter getting ready to take out the knockout gas when all of a sudden a "MEOOOWWRRR" made her jump up and knock into a pan making it fall onto the floor.
"Shit" she mumbled and walked back towards the balcony and jumped off.
Jubilee and Rogue watched this happened from the distance and their eyes went wide while thinking "WTF"
Roberto broke away from Amara and looked towards the kitchen.
"Something wrong?" Amara asked.
"I dunno...I'll be right back..." he answered and got up and away from her. As he walked away Amara felt a vibrating in her back and. It was her cell phone and it read 'new message'. She opened it and it read, "operation failed...we retreat."
'Crap,' Amara thought not knowing whether this was a good or bad thing.
Roberto on the other hand was walking very slowly into the kitchen. As soon as he was out of view he's skin turned black and a reddish yellow light surrounded him. His eyes carefully scanned the room and as he walked though he almost tripped on the pot that had fallen on the floor. As he bent down to get it something jumped on his back making him get up fast and get in a fighting pose.
"Oh...it's just you..." he spoke to his cat. The cat purred but then backed away. Roberto looked around one more time and made his way to the balcony powering down. His eyes scanned the buildings but after finding nothing he went back to Amara who was sitting relaxed on the couch.
"What was it?" she asked.
"Nothing, it was just my cat," he answered and walked over to her. "Now, where were we?"
Amara smirked as Roberto put a leg on each side of her making him straddle her.
"I think I remember," she answered and pulled his head down making their lips come down and crash into each other. Amara's hands traveled up and down his chest and soon she pulled his shirt off as his hands started to explore under her shirt. In the next couples of minutes her shirt was off and Roberto was busy kissing her stomach while groping her butt. His lips started moving up again and his head rested in the crook of her neck. He kissed, lick and sucked on her neck making her eyes roll back at how good it felt. As he started unbuttoning her skirt though her hands went up and stopped him.
"Roberto wait…I gotta tell you something…"
"What?"
"I'm a…"
OoOoOoOo Outside Roberto's Apartment OoOoOoOo
"Crap," Rogue mumbled under her breath. She quickly texted Amara telling her that the plan was off. Hoping she would get the hint that it'd be ok for her t leave. But then again Rogue wasn't too sure she'd wanna leave. After sending the text message she called jubilee.
"Yo."
"Get off the building…"
"What?"
"We're retreating, get off now," Rogue answered while walking down the emergency staircase from the building she was on. She then hung up and texted Wanda with a 'retreat now' message.
As she started walking on the last step and jumping onto the side walk something small but colorful caught her attention. She bent down to get it and looked at it curiously as she noticed it was a miniature playing card. The Queen of hearts. Her eyes quickly scanned the area…she felt eyes on her.
'BAM'
"Ahhhh…"
"SHHHH," Jubilee said. "Sorry didn't mean to sneak up on you…but then again being the thief shouldn't you have known?"
"Jubilee AH COULD KILL YAH!" Rogue answered and then realized the it was gone. The feeling of being watched had disappeared. "Come on, lets go…" she told the young Asians girl and put the card away while heading towards where she parked her bike.
OoOoOoOo Assassins Mansion OoOoOoOo
Rogue slammed the door close behind her, Wanda leaned on a wall looking annoyed and Jubilee looked like a deer caught in head lights.
"What the hell happened?" Rogue asked her eyes narrowing.
"I don't know," Jubilee answered in a small whisper and looked at Wanda.
"It was my fault."
"What happened?"
"Lexa forgot to mention that he had a cat. I was walking through the kitchen ready to strike when it scared the shit out of me and made me knock over a damn pot."
Rogue growled and knocked over a vase, she and Wanda stayed quiet but looked peeved. Jubilee on the other hand was really quiet since she didn't want to get yelled at. Five minutes passed and it was silent but if looks could be daggers Scarlet Witch and Rogue would have destroyed the walls.
Finally not being able to stay quiet any longer Jubes asked, "Guys are we gonna leave Amara alone with Roberto?"
"Ya. She's a big girl she can handle herself," Rogue answered.
"But…well…you see…Amara's a…"
"Ya?" Wanda asked.
"Amara's a virgin…"
Rogue and Wanda's jaws dropped. They looked at each other and then at Jubilee hoping she was kidding. But the look on her face told them she wasn't.
"Wonderful," Rogue mumbled and massaged her head with her hands. "Not only did we ---- up the chance to Kill Roberto Da Costa this time but we also left a virgin with him…and according to some of the things X-23 found out he's very sexually active…this day just keep getting better and better."
OoOoOoOo Hours Later OoOoOoOo
The door opened and she slowly walked inside wondering the others were up. "I'm home!"
Rogue almost ran into the hallway leading to the door where she met a grinning Amara Aquilla.
"Hey…"
"Hi," Rogue answered slowly looking Amara up and down.
"Sorry that plan didn't work."
"It's ok, It wasn't yahr fault," Rogue answered and as she finished Jubilee barged in.
"Did you DO IT?" she asked.
Amara looked at Jubilee and blinked repeatedly. "Do what?" she asked.
"The nasty deed," Jubes answered while hiding behind Rogue.
Amara blinked again and then rolled her eyes, "no, what would make you think that?"
"Well for your 411 I saw how heated you guys were making out and that kinda making out ALWAYS leads to other things."
"Ok…whatever anyways things didn't go that far you peeping tom. I told him I had gotten that far with any guy and he sorta backed off. We kept making out but he stayed in control and didn't do anything he though I'd find to offensive. He even apologized at the beginning."
"So…are you gonna see him again?" Rogue asked.
Amara looked surprised at the question. "Yeah."
"Oh…good. Ah though that after finding out he wouldn't be able to tap that he'd might blow yah off."
"No. Actually he wants to see me more often. I promised him I'd see him tomorrow."
"Wow. What do you know. Guess we can't judge a book by it's cover…I guess Mr. Da Costa isn't as big of a pig as we first thought," Jubilee stated.
Amara smiled, "Ya…I guess you can say that." As she finished the phone rang and Rogue went to answer. Jubilee stayed with Amara and eyes her as if she was a vulture.
"Soooo…" Jubilee started and then elbowed the ex princess. "Why are you so happy?"
"No reason," Amara answered then walked away towards the balcony. When she got there she saw she wasn't the only on that wanted to stare at the stars that night.
"Hey."
"Hey. You ok?"
"Never better," Amara answered and leaned on the rail. The both girls stayed quite, listening to the music the crickets were playing.
Being in such a happy and confident mood gave Amara the courage to ask Wanda something she had been curious about. "Can I ask you a question?"
"You just did," Wanda answered.
"Why did you kill him?"
Wanda looked at Amara. "I've killed many men in the time I've been an assassins. I can't remember then all so be a little more specific."
"Why did you kill your husband?"
"What makes you think it was me?"
"Logan talked a lot about you guys while we trained. Jubilee and myself were curious about you guys so we actually asked me many questions and did research on your assassinations. I know the pattern each of you guys use for your kills…even though X-23 does a good job pretending that she was the one that did it I know better."
"You're a smart girl Amara," Wanda stated while smirking. "It was his time. The only reason I married Todd in the first place was because it was what my father wanted. Pietro and myself were brought up by him after my mother died. He brought us up making us believe that everything he did was the right thing… of course when he told me I had to marry Todd…it wasn't an opinion on who I should marry. It was an order."
"You were forced to marry…that suxs," Amara answered and avoided eye contact with Wanda by looking at the sky.
"Ya, dad thought we were the perfect match. Both of us had money, we were mutants; we are watched by the media…not to mention everyone knew he was madly in love with me. Then again I also think he was in love with my inheritance money. But I never loved him, and he knew it. I never let him touch me unless the press was watching us. You know I actually walked in on them fooling around…and a couple of weeks after that little incident I caught her snooping through my bank account documents…"
"They were stealing money from you?"
"Ya. I made sure to take them back the night of his demise."
"What did you father think about you killing him?"
"My father had already been dead. He actually didn't know I was an assassin and neither did Pietro for a while. But he agreed with me to have Todd eliminated when he found out he wanted the money…and also the fact that father was gone. Pietro would have never gone against any of his wished."
"He was really attached to him huh?"
"Yes, it was probably cause my father preferred Pietro over me. That's probably why he's so bent out on finding his killer…"
"What do you think he'll do when he finds out?"
"He'll…be hurt…"
"Ya, especially since it's…"
"WANDA!" Rogue yelled out and walked outside.
"What is it?"
"Pietro and Lex are on their way here…Agatha Harkness was killed." Wanda's eyes widened at the news and everything went quiet…
OoOoOoOo Unknown Place OoOoOoOo
The door opened and cold eyes looked up.
"What have you found out?"
"Not much. But it seems her name is Lexa Howlett. We were only able to find that out and this," a man answered and held out a picture.
"Who's this?"
"Anna-Marie Darkholme. The are pretty tight. Unfortunately that was all we could find out about her. Well that and the fact that Ms. Darkholme as a relative in Mississippi, a Ms. Irene Alder," the Asian women told him.
Then I suggest you give Ms. Alder a visits and try to get some more information."
Both adults nodded and left the room. When they were gone the only sound that was heard was small growling and the word "Wolverine" being mumbled.
OoOoOoOo Assassin Mansion OoOoOoOo
"I can't believe this…" Wanda mumbled. Everyone was gathered around in the living room, Wanda and Pietro with the gravest faces in the world.
"Who would want you dead?" Jubilee asked out of the blue making the twins looks up at her.
"I don't know," Pietro answered and everything got dead silent again.
"We need to call Logan and see if he has other Assassins out here," Rogue finally said breaking the silence and getting the phone, then handling it to X-23.
Lexa sighed and rolled her eyes but started dialing the number. A couple seconds later someone picked it up the phone and X-23 snarled, "put wolverine on the line."
After about a minutes of waiting they all guess he picked up cause X-23 said, "Ya it's me. Hey do you have other Assassins over here?…We got attacked today…well no the didn't technically attack me…I'm fine…I'M FINE DAD!"
"DAD?" Jubilee and Amara yelled out in surprised but were ignored by the others. While Lexa kept talking to him Amara and Jubilee looked at each other and mumbled, 'Dad' to each other. Rogue watched the exchange and rolled her eyes.
"Well, at least now yah know how she got into this profession. She was born intah it."
"Ok ok…ya I'll be careful…ya ya I know...ok…luv ya too…bye," Lexa finished and hung up. "He said he doesn't have others here but might have an idea on who it is by the description I gave him of the chick."
"So…who is it?"
"He wouldn't tell me…I think he's hiding something from me…"
"So what are we going to do?" Pietro asked.
"Be extremely careful from now on," Rogue answered.
OoOoOoOo Mississippi OoOoOoOo
The sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the empty house. Her eyes stayed closed though, for she already knew who her uninvited guest were. Everything was quiet except for the quick movement that sounded like something had flown by…
"I know why you have come…"
"Your eyes are closed. How did you know we are…"
"Like I you I also have a special talent."
"If you know what we want then why not give us what we need and no one gets hurt grandma," an impatient women's' voice snarled.
Eyes opened slowly to show pale blue orbs with white clouds around the iris.
"What you want to learn of Rogue, you won't find her Ms. Braddock."
"How do you know…"
"I know many things about you Psylocke…and of you too Mr. Worthington."
"Like?" Angel asked disbelieving.
Irene smiled, "Like your future…together…and the bitter sweet separation that will come soon enough…"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Warren yelled.
"Don't listen to her Warren…she's a Looney," Psylocke stated and the grabbed Destiny's hair and pulled it back making her neck bend backwards.
"Tell us about Anna Ms. Alder…"
"You will find out everything you want in time…all I will bother to say to you before you do your job is: Beware…fear…her touch…"
OoOoOoOo The next Day OoOoOoOo
He pulled the white sheet away and was not happy with what he saw. She had gotten old, but her sweet gentle smile still lay on her face. He sighed as a tear fell from the corner of his eye and dropped down his cheek. He looked up at the sky and thought, 'was it you meine Schwester…did you kill another member of our family?'
"Detective Wagner…are you ok?"
"Yes. But do me a favor."
"Of course…what is it?"
"Can you tell the commander that I need an airplane ticket…"
"To?"
"Bayville, New York."
OoOoOoOo The next Day OoOoOoOo
'ring ring'
"Yellow?" Jubilee answered while hiding a yawn. They were all still in the same place they had been a couple of hours. All of them confused and lost in their on little thoughts.
"Yes…hold juts a minute please," Jubilee spoke into the phone and then handed it to Rogue.
"It's for you…sounds important."
"Hello…yes…oh mah gawd…are yah sure?…Thank yah…" Anna hung up the phone and it feel from her hands onto the ground.
"Rogue what is it?"
"Irene is dead…she was murdered earlier today…someone slit her throat."
