OoOoOoOo chapter 11 OoOoOoOo

"We have a problem," Rogue told them as she reached them and thunder roared in the sky.

"What? Did the cops get anything important?" asked X-23.

"No. It wasn't a cop…though they probably have arrived by now."

"If it wasn't the police who was it?" Wanda asked.

"Psylocke."

"Psy-who?" Amara asked as Jubilee got a thoughtful look on her face trying to figure out who it was.

"She's one of Sabertooth's Assassins. Has Jubilee told you about her encounter with him?" They all nodded. "Victor Creed is after something…someone…unfortunately Psylocke's mind gave out before ah could find out who. But it's obvious it's one of us if they attacked two of us in just one day."

"So what are we going to do?" Jubilee asked as the rain kept pouring over them.

"Nothing. There isn't much we can do. We don't know where he is right now. Ah found out where he's been staying along with his other assassins but ah doubt he'd be there after what just happened."

"Is she dead?" Wanda asked.

Rogue shook her head, "But close enough…"

"So what now?" Lexa asked as she wiped her eyes clearing the raindrops that were getting in her eyes.

"We're leaving. It's not safe to stay here."

"We're running away from that Sabertooth jerk?"

"No, he's not what ah'm concerned about. Psylocke was a mutant…ah'm sure he is too so if he wants us he'll come after us. What we need tah get away from is the police force. Three cops know who we are and that's enough to bring us down if we stay any longer."

"When do we leave?" Wanda asked.

Rogue looked at them and then up at the sky. When she looked back down her makeup was smudge around because of the heavy drops of water. "Three hours."

Jubilee's jaw dropped, "Three hours? Where are we gonna go?"

"We'll figure it out on the way. Right now what needs tah happen is we need tah get out of the city before dawn. Yah guys can go and do whatever yah want for the next couple of hours. Finish unfinished business…leave no loose ends…we'll meet back here in three and leave…understood?"

They all nodded.

Wanda looked around and then turned to Rogue, "I need to go back to the house…for weapons."

"Ah told yah tah bring everything you'll need," Rogue answered annoyed.

"I need them for my loose ends."

"I need to go back too," Lexa spoke up.

"Fohr?"

"Poison."

Rogue though about it but then slowly nodded at them.

"I wanna go," Amara yelled.

"Me too," Jubes added.

"No!" Rogue turned to them.

"Why? You're letting them go," Jubilee whined.

"They're taking a big risk Ah won't allow yah to do. Ah'd rather have them go into that kind of dangerous situation. Plus…Amara…I think yah have some unfinished business." Amara looked up surprised and then nodded.

"All right then…go. I'll see yah in 3 hours." They looked at each other and then started walking off in their own directions.

"X-23," Rogue called to her.

"Ya?" Lex answered and walked back towards her.

"Call Logan. Tell him what's going on and ask him what he advises us to do. Then call me or tell him to call me."

"Ok."

Rogue nodded to her before stepping on the building edge and jumping off. She landed perfectly on her feet, looked around to make sure no one had seen her and then walked away.

OoOoOoOo Jubilee & Magma OoOoOoOo

Jubilee and Amara watched Rogue walk farther away before they made their way down the fire escape. As they walked down the metal stairs all the could here is the stomps their feet were making.

"Can you believe this? We were caught and now we have to flee," Amara broke the silence.

Jubilee shrugged, "It happens to the best of us…emotions make us weak and that's what brought us down."

Amara though about it as they reached the bottom. "I guess," she mumbled.

"So where are you going now?" asked the soaked Asian.

Amara sighed and answered, "Roberto."

Jubilee nodded and looked at Amara with a strange expression on her face. Amara noticed it and looked away quickly by looking both ways down the street. "You?" she asked and started walking down the street.

Jubilee followed her and did some window shopping before answering, "I dunno. I don't really have any unfinished business so I guess I'll just walk around."

"Wanna come with?"

"No. I think it's better if you do this alone."

Amara snorted, "Thanks for the support."

Jubilee smiled and stopped walking. "You won't need me there to help you decide, you'll do that on your own. You decided to leave your throne…I doubt this decision will be harder than that," she stated knowing that there was a lot of confusion in Amara's head.

Amara looked into the distance and vaguely nodded.

"Well…I think I'm gonna go that way," Jubilee pointed into towards another street. "I'll see you in 3?"

"Ya," Amara answered and Jubilee surprised her by suddenly hugging her.

"Be careful Mara…"

Amara nodded again and watched Jubilee walk away. She them mumbled into the wind, "It is harder…" before making her way towards Da Costa Industries.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

Rogue walked slowly down the street. The rain was still pouring and she still had a lot of time to kill. She wasn't sure what she was going to do for the next couple of hours, unlike the others she didn't feel like she had any unfinished business.

She was thinking about going back to Lensher Industries and telling Pietro what was going on but she knew that someone else was eventually going to end up going back to him before they left. So there she was with nothing to do.

She would have liked to go and talk to Kurt but it was to late for that. He had made his moved and if she's try to get close to him now she would be risking her freedom.

There was actually someone else she wanted to see…but he was probably raiding her house doing his police officer act. She shivered unexpectedly and looked around . The streets were empty, only the crazy would be out in a storm like this. She started walking faster not sure of where she was going, her mind completely out of it.

As she walked past a dark alley suddenly a hand grabbed her and dragged her inside. She pulled away quickly and got ready to fight but stopped when she looked into red and black orbs.

"What are yah doing out here in this weather? Are you crazy?" she asked trying to calm her nerves down since he had spooked her.

"Funny chere…I was gonna ask ya the same thing. Y' walking down the streets and the cops looking for ya."

"Are they?"

"Je ne sais pas…I haven't talked to any of de officers mais I did just get a message that Detective Wagner has started the raid."

Rogue shook her head then looked up at Remy and said, "You haven't answered my question…why are you here?"

He shrugged, "Wanted at track ya down and see what ya were planning ta do."

She nodded and looked around at the surrounding darkness, "We're leaving in a couple of hours."

He nodded and played with a miniature playing card. "Where to?"

Rogue looked up at him , "No idea," she answered with a smirk. It got quiet between them making Rogue play around with her fingers. "Yah know…ah feel like ah owe yah some kind of thanks yah…"

"Porqoui?" Remy asked.

"If yah hadn't called we would have been cornered pretty bad."

Remy smiled and shook his head, "I doubt it. Y' would 'ave seen it coming…some how y' would 'ave known."

"Mahbe…mahbe not…either way, Thanks."

He nodded accepting the thanks and then stated, "Had to tank yah some 'ow for de greatest sex ever…" she smirked and rolled her eyes at him.

"So whatcha gonna do now?"

"Nothing…ah have nothing tah do"

"So dat mean you got some spare time?" he asked with a suggestive smile.

Rogue perked her eyebrows. "It's wet, nasty and slimy out here. My house has more than a dozen cops surrounding it. Your place is all across town so by the time we get there's we'll only have about half an hour before we have to come back. In other words no…cause ah'd rather have a night than 30 minutes."

Remy looked down at her with an unreadable expression then said, "I was thinking of getting some coffee but what y' had in mind sounds a lot better…"

Rogue blinked at him and he started laughing. She punched his shoulder softly as they started walking out the alley onto the street.

"Shut up…yah know that's what yah were talking about…"

Remy smirked and answered by giving her his most charming smile as he snaked his hands around her shoulders.

OoOoOoOo Assassin Mansion OoOoOoOo

"Sir, there is no one inside. We've searched high and low but the house is empty."

"Any weapons?"

The young police officer whistled. "There's enough weapons in there for an army…"

"You haven't moved anything right?" Kurt asked.

"No Sir."

"Taken pictures?"

"Ya we just wrapped them up."

"Good." Both men continued talking not noticing the narrowed eyes staring at them.

"There he is…the stupid asshole…"

"Now now…no reason to be bitter. Why do that when you can get even?" Lexa smirked at Wanda and looked back to their house which was surrounded with cops. "Any ideas how to get in?"

"Ya," X answered and nodded giving Wanda the message to follow her. A couple of seconds later they were in the backyard and X-23 climbed the tree closest to Rogue's balcony door. After looking both ways to make sure no one was looking before making a lengthy jump onto the balcony. She looked down and waved at Wanda to follow her.

Wanda shook her head, pointed at her and then circled her finger around her ear telling Lexa that she was crazy. Wanda looked at the distance between the tree and balcony, there was no way she could make that jump without using her power. She could do it but cops were still all over the place. X-23 had had the advantage since she was one sneaky bitch.

X-23 looked at Wanda and gave her an annoyed glare before walking into Rogue's room. Seconds later she came back with something in her hand and threw it up making whatever it was land on the other side of the house. Soon there was a big 'BOOM' and all the officers ran over to se what the disturbance was.

Wanda looked around before her hands started glowing a dark blue and the tree near her came to life. A branch entwined itself around her and carried her up to the balcony then quickly went back to it's normal state.

"Bout time."

"Don't bitch, we don't have time for it," Wanda answered and walked into Rogue's room which now held unconscious police officers courtesy of X-23.

"What room do you need to go to?" Lex asked.

"Weapons room…you?"

"Mine. I don't think they've found my poison since I keep it under a loose board." Wanda nodded as X-23's nose went up to the air and sniffed as she listened carefully.

"I don't hear a lot of people…they must have all gone to see what the noise was."

"What was it?" Wanda asked.

Lex smirked, "Just a bomb Rogue kept around her room…a gas bomb. They should be knocked out in minutes."

"You sneaky whore…"

"I know…now go. No one should give you trouble, I don't think. I'll meet you in the weapons room." Wanda nodded and then they both walked out of the room towards their destinations.

Lexa headed towards her own room, the hallways were empty and quiet. When she finally reached her door she heard a noise from inside as she touched the handle to open it the door flew open by itself and an officer jumped at her with a war cry. She grabbed his arm and flipped him over her making him go flying over the stairway rail. He hit the floor with a loud 'thump'.

X-23 looked at the body from over the rail, "Whoops…" she mumbled as she walked into her room. She quickly went over to the mattress in the center of the room and moved it. There stood an old board which she opened using her adamantium claws. After grabbing a bag with small vials inside she put everything back the way they had been and walked out towards the weapons room.

When she got there she found Wanda digging through the closet getting a dagger and bullets while holding a black bag.

"I'm done."

Wanda looked over her shoulder, "I just need a couple more things," she answered and as she twirled to small guns in her hands. She then put one in between the straps of her garter and the other between the straps of her bra. "Lets go before we get…"

'Bamf'

"Caught…damn it…"

X-23 turned around knowing very well what she was going to find.

"Kurt," Wanda stated.

"Scarlet Witch…X-23...where's my sister?"

"Up your ass," X-23 answered.

"Cute…but I'm being serious."

Wanda and Lexa looked at each other before stepping away from each other and circling Kurt as if they were vultures.

He smiled, "You know, you don't intimidate me."

"We're not trying to…but why don't you do yourself a favor and back off."

"You know I can't do that."

"Ya…but then you also know we won't let you take us," Wanda told him. "And better yet…you know you won't be able to stop us," she added.

"That doesn't mean I'm not going to try…"

'bamf'

X-23 stood still and closed her eyes trying to anticipate where he was going to come from while Wanda looked around frantically. Before she knew what was happening she felt a foot on her back and flew towards a cabinet hitting it hard. When she got back on her feet she saw X-23 was fighting with Kurt in the middle of the room. Lex was throwing kicks and punches but it was evident she wasn't hitting nothing but air.

As X-23 prepared to throw another punch a blue foot came and hit her in her midriff making her fall onto the ground harshly. Wanda took this chance to walk towards them as puffs of smoke appeared and the room filled with a brimstone smell.

She looked around through the thick looking fog as her hands started rising, before she could see anyone or do anything she heard a loud 'snkit' behind her. Wanda turned towards X who started walking towards her but stopped suddenly as a lot of 'bamfs' sounds and smoke surrounded her. Kurt tried taking X-23 out by throwing kicks at her from different angels and was starting to wear her down as she blocked his moves.

Wanda narrowed her eyes and her hands glowed blue along with the room. Everything stood still as she looked around. She then walked towards X-23 and Kurt who were frozen with a blue glow around them. She put her hand down on X-23's and her side of the room went back to normal making Lexa fall to floor since she wasn't prepared for it.

Through out their fight Kurt's image had changed and his eyes glowed yellow as he glared at the Scarlet Witch. His skin had been replaced by dark blue fur.

"Do it…" Wanda stated and watched as X-23 got but and retracted her claws but knocked Kurt out with quick blows since he was frozen in thin air by Wanda. Her last touch was taking a vile from her small bag and breaking it in the center of his face. The glass broke and cut his face leaving a green powder all over his nose. Lexa lightly tapped on his expensive looking watch and watched as he turned back to his human appearance.

"Done…" she stated.

Wanda nodded and with a quick wave of her hand Kurt went flying out a window. "Lets go, we're short on time."

X-23 nodded and started walking back towards Rogue's to leave the way the had came in.

"Hey what was that you broke on his face?"

X-23 smirked, "Something to make sure he doesn't follow us at least not for a day."

Outside Kurt had landed on a couple of officers breaking his fall. Many other officers ran to him as they saw what happened.

"Detective!" a man shouted and stared at the body on the ground.

"Don't be stupid and just stand there…go get an ambulance," a woman shouted. Amanda then kneeled down besides Kurt and touched his face softly.

"Detective Wagner…are you ok?"

Kurt opened his eyes and just stared at her. He then slightly opened his mouth and said, "I…can't move…"

She nodded, "You might have broken some bones…"

"No…" he grumbled "It's…some kind of paralyzing poison."

She looked at him puzzled and then asked, "Would you like someone to take care of this raid operation?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Officer Lebeau or Allerdyce…"

"That's gonna be a problem sir," she answered and held his hand, "They never showed up…"

OoOoOoOo Da Costa Industries OoOoOoOo

Amara shivered. She was wearing one of the shortest dresses made and it was raining cats and dogs, not a good combination. She was barley reaching Da Costa Industries and as she got closer she saw that someone was in front of the building. When she came up to the building she saw that someone was getting in a car parked right in front of the building. It was a girl, average height and long raven hair.

Amara's eyes narrowed, "Taryn." Taryn got inside her car and started it but a couple of seconds later she jumped as a hand smacked at her window. She looked up and saw that it was the girl from the café, she rolled the window down and smirked.

"Can I help you?"

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Came to see my baby…you see the thing about Roberto is after he gets bored with new toys he always comes back to me."

Amara's eyes widened a bit and she chuckled after a few seconds. She hunched over to be eye level with Taryn and said, "I really think I should give you this warning…"

Taryn looked at her un-phased, "What?"

"I don't like competition…" Amara told her in a firm voice.

Taryn smirk got bigger, "Well get used to it because I'm not going anywhere."

"Believe me…you'll want to leave Berto alone…so do yourself a favor and stay away from him."

"I don't think so.," Taryn answered and rolled her window up.

Amara hit the car roof in anger but then regained her composure and slid her finger on car and moved backwards towards the cars tail. She reached the gas handle and opened it and slowly took the lid of while Taryn ignored her to touch up on her make up.

"Have it your way bitch…" Amara whispered and moved away from the car towards the building steps. Taryn looked through the window and mockingly waved at Amara and started driving off.

Amara smiled and waved back but as soon as the car started she stopped and looked at her hand. A small ball of fire appeared and she smirked before throwing it with great accuracy towards the small open hole.

'BOOM!'

Amara went flying towards the building as the explosion happened. She hit the glass door hard but she stepped away from it a second later and looked back towards the burning car.

"Now that's what I call an entrance…" she murmured to herself before walking into the building.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

Jubilee looked back once in a while as she walked down the street. She was almost expecting Amara to be following her instead of going off and doing what she had to do. She felt bad for her best friend. That was the bad thing about this job, she though to herself. 'Sometimes you actually develop feelings for your prey...'

She sighed and stopped at the corner of the street she was about to cross. The Acolytes bar was near...

She had nothing to do so she decided to check out the damage but she wasn't sure if it'd be safe. By now it was certain that Ray, Kitty and Lance had declared her as a murderer and as the person who caused the fire. She took small steps down the streets. No one seemed to be around, no cops or firefighters. Cars passed her by as she took her sweet time to get there.

About 10 minutes later she casually walked by the bar making pretend she was going elsewhere but as she passed her eyes focused on the building. Seeing that no one was around she stopped in front of the burned down building. Some of the walls were still standing but they were black. Ashes were on the ground but slowly faded in small torrents towards the gutter thanks to the rain. Jubes got a little closer to the building and saw that the police had been there earlier because yellow taped surrounded some of the areas.

She felt bad about what she did to the building but she didn't have another choice. It was either her life along with Ray, Kitty and Lances or taking down Victor along with the building.

She turned away from it and was going to start walking away when there was an electric sound behind her. She quickly turned not knowing what she was going to find. Nothing...there was nothing. She perked her eyebrow and started walking away again when she heard it once more. She turned and this time she did see something. It looked like a blue current of electricity.

She looked around and then walked towards the light that was coming from behind the building. She didn't know why she was doing it, her instincts were telling her it wasn't a good idea but her curiosity was getting the best of her.

As she got closer she saw that the blue light was electricity.

"What kind of idiot plays with electricity out in the rain?" she asked herself out loud not thinking she wasn't going to get a response.

"This kind of idiot."

Jubilee jumped at the voice and then turned the corner of the building. He was standing under an untouched part of the ceiling. The raindrops were close to touching him and the electricity in his hand...

"What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you..."

"How did you know I'd..."

"The criminal always goes back to the scene of the crime."

Jubes rolled her eyes but stayed were she was watching the handsome young man in front of her. She was surprised he wasn't been harsher towards her like he was earlier.

"You know...water conducts electricity."

"I know...guess I have something in common with you."

"And that is?"

"I do stupid shit too..."

Jubilee looked away from Ray and looked at the ground. She shrugged and then whispered, "Don't we all?"

"You know...I would have NEVER thought of you as...well as..."

"A psychotic killer?"

"You're not psychotic..."

"What makes you so sure?"

"I just know."

Jubilee looked back up at Ray who was staring intently at her.

"Maybe it was all lie," she told him.

"Was it?"

"I dunno...if it was...then I guess I lied to myself too," she answered looking deeply into his blue eyes.

"Why?" he asked softly.

"Why what?" she asked and leaned on a burned wall.

"Why everything. Why do you have to be what you are...why did you have to come here...why do you have to seem so innocent even now...even after I've seen what power you hold...why did it have to be me?"

Jubilee looked confusedly at him. "Why you what? I have answers to your other questions. I am what I am cause I made a choice...I came here cause it was my job and where I was needed...I seem innocent...cause maybe I am. But...I don't have an answer to your last question cause I don't understand it...what did I do to you?"

Ray shook his head and then stared into her confused eyes. "Nothing...It's my fault..."

"What is?" she asked.

"My feelings for you."

Jubilee looked down, "And what are those feelings?"

Ray started open his mouth to speak but Jubilee stopped him.

"You know what never mind, don't tell me."

"Why?"

"There'd be no point to it."

"Meaning?"

"I'm leaving the city...we're gonna be gone in hours and believe me...once we're gone no cop is gonna be able to find us. So what would be the point of telling me..."

Ray's eyes widened, "You're LEAVING?"

Jubes slowly nodded and then turned and started walking away deciding that being with Ray any longer would only make leaving harder. She was happy that he didn't seem as upset as he had earlier but...it also made it more difficult for the realization that she would never see him again sink in. If he hated her everything would be simple and she could leave with no regrets...she could move on and deny her feelings. Now doubts clouded her thoughts and her heart...she had to leave now before those doubts could grow.

OoOoOoOo Police Department OoOoOoOo

Wanda Maximoff walked up the small steps of the building. Even though it was open everything inside seemed so dark and quiet, almost as if they knew she was coming. But they didn't...she hadn't known she'd be coming there so how could they?

She hesitated before opening the door to the building. Bargaining in there would be like signing a death warrant. She smirked.

"But who doesn't like a little fun once in a while?" she asked herself out loud and took a small device out of her pocket. It looked like a small control with a huge red button in the middle. She pressed it and the building got even darker, she then walked in.

Inside she heard a lot of voices asking what had happened to the lights. The sky outside was still dark because of the thunderstorm making her unnoticeable.

"Does anyone have a flashlight?"

"Or matches...matches are good..."

Wanda ignored the people, she wouldn't get dangerous until she was noticed. She wasn't sure where she was going but she knew that he wasn't here...she would have felt his presence.

After walking through some offices that were all joined together she found offices with actual doors and walls. She looked through some of the windows hoping that even in all the darkness the reddish orange hair would stand out. Finally after 10 minutes of nothing she got impatient and bumped into someone.

"Excuse me...where can I find Officer Allerdyce?"

"He's three doors down to your right," the man answered and started walking away. Two steps later he seemed to realize that she wasn't suppose to be there and he turned. "Hey...wait a minute. Do you have some kind of pass to be here? Cause civilians aren't suppose to be here..."

Wanda ignored the man and kept walking towards where he directed her.

"Hey wait...you can't..."

He never finished as he was thrown back a couple of yards by a blue light. He hit a wall hard and Wanda heard people running to him.

She walked at a quicker pace towards John's office. It wouldn't be good if they went after her and she hadn't even gotten to do what she went there for in the first place.

A couple of seconds later she reached the third door and opened it as footsteps started walking towards her at a fast pace. She stayed still and heard as they passed by the door and then she turned and faced the center of the room.

There was no light inside but she could make the outline of a figure on a desk. He seemed to be sleeping.

She sat down at the in a chair across him and then dug into the a red coat she had brought along with her from the house. She pulled the object she was looking for it out and harshly pushed on something. An orange flame appeared from the lighter and as it rose getting darker Johns head started rising from his desk.

When he sat up straight he looked at Wanda with shocked in his eyes.

"Boo.." she told him with a smirk.

"What the hell are you doing here? Are ya CRAZY?"

Wanda looked around the room as the flame from the lighter lit up the room, "Maybe a little..." she slowly answered.

John sighed and looked around. He had no idea what to do, a wanted criminal was in his office, more than a dozen officers were in the building and he had no idea what to do. She sat there in front of his smirking, openly inviting him to make a move.

"What are you doing here?"

"You said you'd be seeing me soon. You're obviously here so I decided to save you a trip...and here I am."

"You came to turn yourself in?"

Wanda laughed, after sobering up she looked back at him and said, "No. Unfortunately no...I actually came to give you a gift."

John stayed silent and watched her as if expecting her to pull something out. He felt so weird...he knew she was dangerous but he couldn't help feel like he always did when he was with her.

Wanda dug through her coat again and brought out a small letter opener in a plastic bag.

John watched the object with curiosity. "What this?" he asked.

"This...this is the object that killed my father," she answered with a smirk. John eyes widened. "But...of course there's a catch...if you run a test on it you'll find that there are no fingerprints on it...what will you find though is blood on the tip. It'll match my fathers and of course it'll have a trace of my blood along with my brothers since we're all related."

"Why are you giving me this?"

Wanda stayed quite while she thought of the answer. "Because you're the only who has figured it out...you're wrong about me killing some people. Evan and Callisto for example. The night those murders were done I was at home and I have many media witness to prove it. But the other connections you made were more accurate and I thought you might have wanted the souvenir that ended it for him."

"How could you do such a thing? He was your father...he cared about..."

"Money and power and no one but himself. John my dad bought his way out trouble all the time. He was an inconsiderate asshole that got what he deserved. But if it'll make me look more humane to you I wasn't the one that did it. I was the one that planned it but in the end I couldn't go through with it..."

"So you paid someone else to do it..."

Wanda smirked, "No...I had my best friend do it."

Johns jaw dropped, "You forced your best friend to do it?"

"No...she was actually looking forward to doing it. Of course it came back and bit her in the ass recently but don't all murders do that in the end..."

Wanda looked at her watch and then back to John. Her eyes landed on his hand watching to see if he was going to push any hidden alarm. He didn't move he just looked at her.

Wanda got up and started walking towards the door. Johns blue eyes never leaving her figure as the room got darker as she walked away with the small flame in her hand.

"I have more gifts for you...but you'll have to meet me at the abandoned warehouse across town. Don't come alone...it could be dangerous," she told him with her back turned to him.

"You know...if I go I will take you in..."

Wanda opened the door and then turned to look at him. She gave a lengthily look around the room. "I'm already in John...the only question I have is...why are you letting me out?" She perked her eyebrow at him but after not getting an answer she slowly walked out of the room never turning her back at him.

When she was gone John relaxed not realizing how tense he had been. For a minute he wondered if she was out of the building safely already and then as an answer the lights came back on blinding him.

After regaining his sight He sighed and put the tip of a pen into his mouth and chewed on it. He then grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ya…it's officer Allerdyce...I'd like a dozen cops on the abandoned warehouse across town in less that 15 minutes."

"Is it important?"

John rolled his eyes, "Would I be asking for this if it wasn't?"

"Sorry sir, I'll get right on it...what should they be looking for?"

"A woman...very dangerous they'll be able to tell by looking at her...she has a dangerous vibe." John then hung up and leaned on his chair before sighing and digging his head into his hands.

OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo

Pietro was sitting down on his chair impatiently tapping his pen on the desk over and over again. From the hall he could here music which he guess Crystal had put on. The song that was playing was the Offspring "Gone away". He found it odd because he didn't know Crystal was into that kind of music. Even weirder was the fact that the song kept replaying itself and he'd been paging Crystal and she still hadn't come in.

After waiting five more minutes he got up and walked out towards her office. When he got there he found her with her head on the desk and a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Crystal get up! You're not off the clock yet…"

"…"

"Crystal?" he asked and got closer to her only to find something in between her hand and the coffee mug. Hr grabbed her hand and found it light…as if it was lifeless. He quickly let it go and it fell easily onto the desk. His eyes widened and he reached for the white piece of paper that had fallen from her hands. When he finally got it he saw that it was crumbled up so he opened it and read it…

'Isn't it sad when you can't even get a drink of coffee without being afraid of death? Night Night Crystal…unfortunately this will be your last cup. In your next lifetime try not to fuck with someone who's also fucked a poison expert because in the end…it'll come back and screw you instead of him. - X'

Pietro crouched the note up into a ball and threw it in the trash before walking back into his office without looking back at Crystal.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

Lexa smirked as she walked down the street, The rain was slowly coming to a close. She took out her cell phone and dialed a number when she heard the familiar voice answer she smiled. It was weird that even though all these shitty things were happening her father's voice was still able to soothe her.

"Dad."

"Lex…what's wrong?"

"What makes you think anything is wrong?"

"I can hear it in your voice.," came the gruff reply.

"Remind me to try that next time I talk to someone on the phone."

"Lexa…"

"Ohhh…straight to the point I see…so how come you answered you're the phone today? Don't you have others to do that?"

"1) You called my cell phone 2) I'm not at the base 3) stop changing the subject…"

"Fine…soooo where you at?"

"Laura Lex Howlett!"

"Ouch the full name…ok ok…this is the deal. Shit happened and the cops are scoping out our place."

"What! How the hell did that happen?"

Lexa sighed, "Ya know some ol same ol…sleeping with cops, being related to cops…it all just brings you down."

"WHAT? Who's being sleeping with a cop?"

"Don't worry it wasn't me…You know I prefer business men…"

"Lex…"

"Just kidding anyway Anna told me to ask you what you think we should do…she said that maybe you should call her."

"…"

"Dad?" Lexa asked after a while of silence. She suddenly hear "So my instincts were right" from very far away. "What's that suppose to mean?" she asked.

The other line was quiet again but then Logan spoke up again, "Don't worry about it right now…what's Rogue planning to do?"

"Leave the city…we in leave in a bit. Dad, there's this guy after us who's not with the cops…I think you know him…his name is Victor Creed and he calls himself Sabertooth.

"STAY AWAY FROM!"

"What?"

"Don't go near him that's an order…"

"But…"

"No buts Lex…do what I tell you"

'Click…dial tone…'

Lexa hung up the phone and looked at it with a confused expression. She could feel that there was something her father was hiding from her. She just needed to find out what…

OoOoOoOo Magma OoOoOoOo

Amara walked inside the building and found that it was quiet and dark, which was strange because she was expecting people to be working.

"Hello?" she yelled out wondering if that was a good idea. She got no answer and looked around. 'It's quiet…' she thought to herself. "Too quiet…" she added and turned around only to see small darts flying her way. "Crap!" she yelled and her legs opened wide into a split barley dodging the small weapons.

She rolled around and got up but then did many back flips as more darts flew her way. She grew tired of it easily and hid behind one of the large pillars holding the building up. She hesitantly looked out from behind it but it was to dark to see.

'If light it what I need…then light's what I'll get,' she told herself as a fire ball appeared in her hand. She threw it over the pillar in no particular direction but then watched as random shadows appeared. There were five of them and walking slowly around, probably looking for her.

Her eyes narrowed as the flame died out, she slowly made her way around the pillar and wondered if they knew where she was. She got her answer seconds later when she heard…

"Did she get away?"

"I don't know…I lost her when that ball of fire came towards us."

"It could be a trap…maybe she just did it to distract us."

"We'll never find out by just standing here…Lets split up and find her."

Amara listened as their footsteps got farther and farther away from each other. She smirked, 'You just signed your death warrants.' she thought to herself and held her breath as footsteps got closer towards her.

As they got closer and were ready to pass by she grabbed the person by the back of their necks and smashed their heads hard on the thick pole. The 'Bam' echoed through the quiet building and Magma heard footsteps running toward her. She crouched down and stuck her foot put Seconds later a crash sounded loudly as the person fell on the floor. Before they could get up Amara quickly drew out a hidden dagger from her garter and threw it towards them. They stopped moving seconds later.

She looked down at the motionless body and smirked, "Three to go…" she whispered and walked around the long room. There seemed to be 20 pillars in it so finding her attackers was going to be hard but she knew the perfect way to draw them out.

The moths would come to the flame.

Two fireballs appeared in her hands and she threw them towards a corner of the building. Two sets of footsteps ran towards the light. One of them got there first and stopped in front of the small glow. Amara then took this chance to sneak up behind them, grabbed their neck and twisted it making it give a loud crack. The body fell motionless onto the floor. Amara turned to face the other one that was coming and without thinking about it stretched her hand out in front of them. Before her opponent could react cries of anguished echoed throughout the building as fire consumed their body.

She turned around again and there stood her last opponent. He looked at her…and then at the burning body, then he ran. Amara smirked and watched him go before walking up a long set of stairs. A couple minutes later she found herself in front of large doors, she looked around carefully. This was her first time here…to bad it had to be for that certain reason, she thought to herself.

She opened the door and noticed that there was someone in the center of the room with their back facing her. Suddenly wings came out from nowhere and spread out beautifully in front of her. The person turned around and Amara looked into familiar blue eyes.

Angel looked at the young woman before him curiously. She looked very familiar and then it hit him. 'The girl at the Da Costa Ball.'

"Ms. Aquilla…this is a surprise…you sure it's safe to be here?"

Amara looked around the room and saw another set of doors behind Warren.

"Mr. Worthington…pleasure seeing you again," she stated and turned her attention back to him.

"Here to see Mr. Da Costa?"

"Yes…I have loose ends to tie."

Warren chuckled a bit and looked down then back up his eyes filled with a new danger. "So…you're part of Wolverine's group…was getting into Roberto's pants part of the plan to kill him?"

Magma smirked, "Maybe…plan to do something to stop me?"

"I don't plan to try…I plan to accomplish. First you and then the others…one by one you'll pay."

Amara looked confused for a moment and asked, "Pay for what?" She looked at him and went deep into thinking before realization hit her. "You can try…but be careful you don't end up like your girlfriend," she told him and smirked as she got a rise out of him.

Warren started rising into the air his eyes filed with hatred. Amara watched him and whispered, "Here angel angel…I'm about to clip your wings…"

As he flew towards her body suddenly exploded with fire and the fight began.

OoOoOoOo Meanwhile OoOoOoOo

Jubilee stopped as a hand grabbed her wrist. The common sense in her was telling her to shake it off and keep walking, but her heart gave in and she turned around.

She was expecting a why or another futile question but what she got was more unexpected then what she could have imagined. Rays tender lips were on hers, carefully nibbling at them to part and let him in.

Jubilee opened her mouth and his tongue snuck in exploring her inner walls giving her pleasure she had desired since the first day she'd seen him. Her hands carefully slid up his arms and cupped his face letting her passion out. The kiss seemed to go on forever and when they pulled away her forehead rested against his. Her eyes were still closed as she savored the taste of his breath.

"Don't go…"

Jubilee's eyes snapped opened as the two words were whispered. The magic seemed to have broken as the words echoed through her head. She pulled away from Ray and looked at him as if she was deer caught in headlights.

"I…" Jubilee looked around for some form of escape from the situation. "I…have to," she answered backing away.

Ray watched her, "Why?"

"I can't stay here Ray…the police are gonna come after me and my friends…I need to go."

"We didn't tell the police about you…"

Jubes looked up at him and seemed to be thinking about it but she shook her head. "It doesn't matter…I need to stay with those who are like me. I'm not the kind of girl you deserve Ray."

"Do you like doing what you do?"

"Sometimes…" she answered and looked down. "I believe that there are people that deserve it…Bobby was one of them…"

Ray stayed quiet.

"But then there are victims that didn't even do anything…and that's when I feel that I'm no better than the ones that killed my parents. This job isn't about moral values though…you can't let your feelings get in the way because then…" she shrugged, "You're screwed."

"You can stop you know…"

She shook her head, "I'm to deep in it…"

"You made a choice to get in…you can make a choice to get out."

"It's not that easy."

"It can be…"

Jubilee looked into Ray's eyes for a long time. She then got on her tiptoes and gave him a small peck on the lips before turning away and walking back towards Lensher Industries where she was suppose to meet the others.

OoOoOoOo Abandoned Warehouse OoOoOoOo

Scarlet Witch carefully watched the "abandoned" warehouse...of course she knew it was no longer lonely. It had been about an hour since she told John to meet her here and she knew he had taken her advise so he wasn't alone.

She sighed and wondered if she should walk in. Walking into the police station was stupid and she was lucky not to have gotten caught but this wasn't going to be that easy to walk away from unharmed. Well...unless she used her powers the whole time but what would be the fun in that?

She started walking towards the building and as she did her hand ran up her thigh. She found what she was reaching for and made sure to take the safety off the small gun. She looked at it carefully as she blindly walked forward. It had been a while since she actually used a gun. Now a days she usually just used knives...it was messier but for some reason more exhilarating. She was going to have to use a gun in this case though, she was going to be outnumbered and she needed to finish this fast if she was planning to meet Rogue at the time she had announced.

She stopped at the door and carefully opened it. When she walked in she noticed that they hadn't even bothered to hide. A dozen officers stood right before her pointing their loaded guns at her. She smirked, "Hi!" she told them and walked closer.

"Don't move or we shoot..." an officer called out to her.

"You shoot you die...believe me I don't bluff..."

All the officers look at each other and than at the womanly figure before them. They had yet to see her face because it was covered by the shadows in the building so they weren't sure if she was lying. Her voice seemed to be confident enough to make them nervous though.

Scarlet Witch looked at the figures before her, none were making a move and then she also realized the one she wanted to see wasn't there. John was no where in sight. Wanda rolled her eyes, 'can't even do his job on his own'. She then also that behind the dozen officers a room in the back was lit up with an orange glow.

A woman officer's gun clicked and Wanda looked at her.

"Don't bother even thinking about it. You won't get that far anyway," the young woman told her.

Wanda's head went to the side and she looked at the young woman, "I go where I want whenever I want…none of you are going to stop me."

"Wanna bet?" a male officer stated and he fired. Wanda's eyes glared at the bullet and it started to glow before heading back towards the officer that had shot. All the other officers looked shocked and gave small gasps at the sight of the bullet going back towards their friend.

Wanda smirked and as the bullet headed straight for the man's forehead she stopped it make in stay frozen in mid air. It dropped to the floor and all of them looked at the motionless bullet on the floor. Wanda took this time to point her small gone at some of the officers and 'bang' she fired at least five times.

Five officers fell to the floor as Wanda ran behind some crates. Minutes later shots were being fired at her. While a small battle raged on between the scarlet witch and some officers the young woman from earlier went to her fallen comrades.

She expected to see them bloodied but was surprised to find that none were bleeding. Instead of a bullet piercing them where the shot had hit them there stood a small dart.

"What the hell is this?" the woman called out making the fire shots stop.

Wanda reloaded her small dart gun, "Nothing deadly...just something to knock em out for a couple of days..."

"Look...just put the weapon down and you won't get in to much trouble since you haven't really hurt any officers."

"Sweet offer but no thanks...just cause they're not hurt doesn't mean everyone is leaving her unharmed…"

"Is that a threat?"

"Not at all...it's more of a prediction," Wanda answered and came out from behind the crate and started firing the dart gun. It hit one officer but the others started dodging.

Wanda kept firing and but suddenly nothing came out. Wanda looked at the guns and then at the remaining cops who suddenly smirked.

"Looks like you're out of ammo..."

Wanda dropped the gun and brought her hands up slowly and cautiously before her hands reached to her back. "Not quiet" she answered and brought out the gun that had been hidden between her bra straps.

The 5 officers left looked at her but didn't show any fear. "Doesn't matter how many of us you put to sleep one of us is eventually going to get you."

"Who says you five will be sleeping?" Wanda asked and shot the guy that had talked. The bullet hit him in the arm and he fell to the floor in pain.

"Did I forget to tell you I had real gun too?" she asked as her hand went up and a blue glow surrounded the officers. She threw her arm across from herself making them all go flying and hit the wall. She walked slowly towards them and knocked the guns from their hands since there were pointing at her.

She then walked back over to her dart gun and loaded it before shooting them all. The last person was the young woman from earlier.

"You won't get away...there's another and he will get you..."

"I know there's another...He's the reason I came...sleep tight..." Wanda answered and shot the dart at her head making it pierce her forehead.

She dropped the real gun after cleaning it with a small black rag and walked towards the illuminated room. She kicked it open slowly and there in front of her stood John pointing a gun at her.

"You gonna shoot?" she asked.

John didn't answer but the gun he was holding clicked meaning it was getting ready to fire. Wanda nodded and stretched her arms out inviting him to do it. Before John could think though he felt himself being slammed into a wall. When he got up he saw Wanda leaning on the wall smirking at him.

He smirked back at her, "I knew there was something special bout you luv...but guess what?"

"What?"

"You're not the only one with a gift," he answered and as he did a small flame appeared in his hand. Wanda's eyes widened a bit and before she could make a move the flame grew larger and larger and suddenly she found herself surrounded by a circle of fire.

John stood up straight and held an object in his hand tight. The lighter was warm from his grip and from the sudden explosion on fire it just put out.

He waited for a couple of seconds deciding whether he should calm the embers a bit just to make sure she was a safe. He started walking closer and moved his hand to make a door between the fire. When he walked inside he found that he was alone, Wanda was nowhere to be seen. He walked back out and saw Wanda looking intently at the flames around him.

"Nice trick." she mumbled not turning away from the fiery embers. "But not even fire can stop me"
"You said you had other things for me when you were at my office..." he stated being sure to keep his eyes on her body, especially her hands.
Wanda looked up at his blue eyes then grinned at him, she walked a couple feet away and grabbed a bag from the inside of a burned down cupboard that was hiding in the corner.

Wanda watched his confusion and said, "You weren't the first one here you know," as she dug through the bag. After a bit she brought a nice looking dagger with a red hilt out the bag. She treated it carefully as if it was very important. John eyed the knife carefully, he didn't have to be told what it was...he had a feeling he knew.
"The weapon that killed your husband"
Wanda slid her finger across the blade carefully pulling back instantly as she got cut. She brought her finger to her lips and licked the cut before answering, "Ya...this is the one thing I made sure not to leave. Not only because it's beautiful and cost a fortune but because..." "It was your fathers"
Wanda looked up at him, "How did you"
"When your dad bought that it was a public affair. He was huge and that fact that he was buying the last sword made by the greatest sword smith in the world was a big deal. That's also the other reason you didn't leave it...someone might be able to recognize it and then it would have been obvious that the murder was you or your brother." Wanda nodded, "Ya...but there's another reason I couldn't leave it..." She smiled, "I loved how ironic it was that one of the few people my dad really cared about was killed by something he spend millions on...it gave me a satisfying taste," she stated and laughed. John stared at her as she laughed, he felt like all things around him were going mad, everything was so out of hand so...crazy. Wanda stopped laughing and looked at him, she then twirled the dagger around her hand careful not to hurt herself. "Why did you hate you father so much?" he asked breaking the silence.
"Cause he was an ass...he was corrupted and always used money to get what he wanted...he didn't care about anyone…If things didn't go his way it wouldn't matter cause he'd just get rid of the problem"
"Isn't that ironic"
Wanda looked confused, "What"
"You hate something that you're a lot a like"
Wanda eyes narrowed at the Aussie in front of her. "Don't you dare compare me to him"
"Why not you do a lot of what you said he did...gets rid of people in the way...Todd, Tabitha...uses money to get what you want...doesn't care about anyone but themselves"
"You're wrong...I care about others...I care about y...you know what I don't have time for this bullshit. If we're gonna fight we need to do it now"
"Or else"
"I will disappear from the face of the world. I've given you two shots to get me...once in your office and you let me go...and now...what? You gonna let me go again or are you actually gonna try and stop me?"

"Why are you giving me this shot...why not just leave instead of taking the risk of going to jail if I do defeat you."

"I'm not gonna lie...I wanted to see you a last time before I left...that and I also have great confidence that you won't beat me..."

"Getting to cocky luv...that's what usually brings others down," John told her as he lit a flame on his lighter and gazed at it.

"I can't help it if I'm one of the best," she answered as her hands glowed blue.

Seconds later both powers exploded towards each other making a beautiful mix of blue and orange.

Their powers clashed causing destruction around them but neither seemed to care. Minutes passed and they till gave it their all. John manipulated the fire to overpower her but no matter how many times he did it she blocked it with her power or worse, threw it back towards him.

After a couple more minutes of going back and forth John fell on one of his knees and looked up at Wanda through flames. His outfit was a bit tattered since she had gotten some good shots at him with his own fire but that wasn't what was causing him to fall. His was worn out.

Wanda wasn't fairing off that well either. Though she stood on both her feet her breathing was getting harsher.

"Looks like we're running out of power luv…" John stated almost audible.

Wanda smirked and leaned on a wall behind her which now had small black holes from the burns it received. "When mutations don't work…we can always use other methods."

John looked down at the ground intently as if he was thinking. He then slowly got up and pointed something at Wanda, "You're right."

Wanda looked at the gun in John's hand and laughed. She stopped and looked at him. "I think we've been through this before…do you actually have the guts to shoot me now?"

"Ya…" he answered without hesitating.

Wanda grinned and looked at John from an angle. She then started walking towards him, "Ok then…do it…"

"…"

"Come on…I'm waiting…I DARE you," she told him getting closer. John didn't move. Wanda smirked, "Come on John…it's your job…DO IT!"

'Bang'

OoOoOoOo Da Costa Industries OoOoOoOo

Roberto heard all the noise that was going on outside his office. He didn't know who was fighting who but he knew violence was going on.

After a while everything calmed down and Roberto who was sitting on his chair in front of his desk got up and looked at the door intently.

Seconds later the door slowly started opening. Warren stood in the doorway.

"Hey...everything ok?"

"..." Warren didn't say anything he just stood still.

"Warren what is it?" Roberto asked and started walking towards him but stopped when Warren started leaning forward and 'thump' he hit the floor. Jason had told him that Warren was a mutant and later that day he had seen Mr. Worthington's beautiful wings, but as he laid on the floor he could see a change in them. The were no longer beautiful. The seemed to have shrunk to half their size and the tips were black…as if hey had had contact with fire.

"It was I shamed I had to burn them off…they were quite lovely…"

Roberto's eyes widened as he recognized the voice. When he looked up he saw the person he didn't want to see at that moment.

"It's you…" he stated with a lot of emotion.

Amara looked down at Warren and then at Roberto, "It's me…" she answered a bit sadly.

Roberto nodded a lot and then ran his fingers threw his hair, he laughed a bit then looked at her. "So is this why you've been avoiding my phone calls? Cause you've been planning my death?"

"Does it matter why I've been avoiding your calls? Cause the moment I arrived here guess who I meet at the entrance? Your stupid Bitch Taryn…now tell me didn't you say you ended things with her?"

"Do I really owe you a fucken explanation? You're here to kill me…it was all probably a fucken game from the beginning to you…but if you MUST know I did end things with Taryn but she came back wanting me back. Who knows maybe I should have said yes."

"Well you should have done that when you had the chance cause well…lets just say she went 'boom'."

Roberto looked at Amara, her face had a new cold expression on it. After a while of just standing across each other he said, "Well what are you waiting for? Don't you have a job to do?"

Amara smirked and her body was covered by flames a second later. She then started walking towards him slowly.

"So much for being an angel," he whispered to himself and looked outside the window behind him. "Good thing I charged up earlier…"

Amara gave him a confused look not knowing what he meant and her jaw almost fell off as his body turned black with an orange glow surrounding him.

"You're a …"

"Ya…why does it make it harder for you?"

"No…you should have kept it to yourself...given you an advantage over me…"

"I won't be needing it" he answered and the both ran toward each other blindly. After a couple of kicks and punches that were blocked Amara backed up a couple of feet then threw intense balls of fire towards him.

Roberto got hit by all of them but they didn't seem to have any effect on him. As he walked towards her she would increase the heat of her fire. When he was a feet away from her she brought up a huge wall of fire around her.

She gave a deep breath as she looked at the fire surrounding her. 'How am I suppose to end this?' she thought to herself while trying to keep some concentration on the fire. As she thought of a plan a hand went right threw the fire and wrapped itself around her neck.

Amara's circle of fire disappeared as she tried getting the grip off her throat. She coughed and started choking as her supply of air ended. Then with great strength Roberto threw her across the room.

Amara landed on his desk harshly and as she started getting up she realized that she transformed back to her normal state. Weakly she turned and started at Roberto as he walked towards her. A drop of blood fell from her forehead since her head had hit the desk first.

"Either I'm really wiped out from my fight with Warren…or you're really good," she stated with a raspy voice.

Roberto shrugged, "You can be pretty undefeatable when you're mutation is super strength," he answered and suddenly went back to normal too. He looked at himself and mumbled, "Thought I had charged myself more than that…"

Amara got up straight and threw a punch at him thinking she was going to catch him off guard since he wasn't paying attention. To her misfortune though his hand went up grabbed her fist, then twisted her arm behind her and pressed her against his desk.

Amara tried getting out of his grip but groaned is agony as he twisted it more.

"You know…I could break your arm…but the sun isn't out."

"What's that gotta do with anything?" Amara asked her voice back to normal.

"The sun is what gives me my power," he answered softly as he kept her back pinned to the surface of his desk. Amara looked up at him but then closed her eyes since the blood from her forehead started heading towards her eyes.

Roberto saw the new discomfort and brought his free hand to her face. Gently wiping the blood drops out of the way. His hand lingered on her cheek against his own will and all he could do was stare at her.

Amara reopened her eyes only to stare into Roberto's deep chocolate eyes. He had leaned forward to wipe the blood off which caused him to almost be on top of her. She could feel his breath…

She started leaning her head up wanting to feel his lips. She knew it was wrong…but she couldn't help it. Roberto saw what was happing and suddenly let her go and pulled away. He buried his head into his hands and gave a frustrated yell as Amara sat up on his desk.

She looked around his office. It was big and luxurious a lot like his home had been. As she sat there and stared around she suddenly felt weak. Like the energy had been drained out of her and she didn't have anymore strength to fight. Either her fight with warren had worn her out…or her heart had decided to stop. She looked back at Roberto who was glaring at her.

"You can't do that…"

"What?"

"Try and kill me then try and kiss me…what kind of FUCKEN GAME ARE YOU PLAYING AMARA? If that's even you're real name."

"It is…my real name," her hands went up and rubbed the spot where his grip had been before. "It was a game…the objective was easy…kill you. That's all I had to do…It was an easy game…with my profession it should have been done that first day we went out. But after that first attempted failed the game got harder…and harder and…it's not a game anymore," she answered and looked away from him.

Roberto looked at her with an unreadable expression. He didn't know whether to believe her or not. Amara felt this and sighed before opening her mouth and telling him how it all started.

"I was seventeen…heir to my daddy's throne. You know what sucks about being royalty? You make others think that you have control of everything…you're the leader…when in truth you have very little power. I was Princess of Nova Roma…yet I couldn't make any decisions for myself…not even who to give my heart to. It was all about power and maintaining it to my parents…even if it meant giving my virginity to the highest bidder."

"You're not a?"

"Ya…I am which is the reason I stopped you. That was last straw that I could put up with…I decided the night before the ceremony to runaway…get away anyway I could…"

"What did you do?"

"I became what I am now."

"You killed you're parents…"

"I didn't…It's not my fault the palace caught fire and they were trapped inside. Then again it is my fault that there were bars between the handles on their doors and that stopped them from getting out…but that is the last thing I saw. The palace burning down…with my parents and title inside. I'm not an object to be sold or manhandled…and that was the point I was making that night. You think they got it?" she finished with a cynical smile.

"Even if they did…it was to late," he answered. "Who sent you here?" he asked going off topic.

Amara smirk, "You're competition…"

"Pietro Maximoff?…ironic…" he stated with a roll of his eyes.

"What is?"

"You're here to get rid of me…and yet there's someone of there right now trying to get rid of him."

Amara's eyed widened, "Shit." she yelled and quickly grabbed her cell phone. Roberto made no move to stop her as she dialed a number.

'Hello?'

"Lex…you need to go to Pietro…"

'What? Why? I was just over there finishing my unfinished business'

"If you don't go back he'll die…that's who Sabertooth is after!"

'…'

'dial tone'

Amara hung up and the looked at Roberto who was staring at her intently. "So you've just told me how the game started…how is it gonna end?" he asked.

Amara looked at Roberto before looking at her hand, soon a ball of fire appeared in it. "They way it should…"

OoOoOoOo Lensher Industries OoOoOoOo

Pietro was looking out the window of his office. The rain had finally stopped but it was still dark outside. His mind was going a hundred miles an hour with thoughts.

He wondered what the hell was going on with Wanda and the others. Why X-23 had poisoned Crystal…but he knew deep inside what the answer was…Lexa didn't like losing and she felt she had lost to Crystal. He wondered if he was going to see them again. It way obvious they were leaving after Wanda's sappy goodbye.

His thoughts were interrupted though when a huge 'bam' was heard in the hallway. He turned his chair around to face the door and listened carefully. He heard nothing afterwards so he just guessed that Crystal's body must have fallen to the floor. He got up and started walking towards the hallways but stopped in front of his door.

He reached out for the door handle when it suddenly flew opened smacking him and making him fly backwards. He started getting up from the floor as he heard a growl and stared at a very hairy blond man.

"Who the hell are you suppose to be?" Pietro asked as he rubbed his neck.

"Sabertooth…I'm here to end you're life," the man answered with a dangerous smirk.

"Ya," Pietro answered and looked around, "Well…good luck with that," he answered with a cocky smirk. Less than a second later a silver blur ran for the door. As Pietro got cocky about being home free he felt something grab on to his sleeve and with a strong tug he crashed into a wall.

Sabertooth smirked at him when he finally regained his balance.

"You're fast but my nose can pick up your scent no matter how fast you're going."

"Thanks for the late warning," Pietro answered sarcastically and watched as Sabertooth ran towards him. Pietro looked around and smirked as he saw all the sharp objects in the room.

"If I can't run away from him…I might as well fight him," he whispered to himself and then stretched his arms out and moved them in a circular motion. In seconds a small whirl wind appeared and many objects in the room started flying around. His arms started going faster and faster making the small wind in the room get stronger.

Pietro then pointed his arms at Sabertooth and all the objects started hitting him. Pietro grinned and started walking towards the door while his arms kept going.

'This is a piece of cake. What kind of Assassins are they sending after me?' he asked himself. If he hadn't been so self involved he would have seen Sabertooth making his way through the small tornados. He did notice though when a huge fist headed straight for his face. He dodged it on time and his leg came up to hit the larger man. It hit his midriff but had no effect on him. While Pietro froze in shock Sabertooth's hand came up and smacked him across the face leaving scratch marks from the long nails.

Pietro's cheek burned making him lose all concentration until he felt a similar piercing pain in his stomach. Pietro looked down towards the ache only to see Sabertooth's free hand piercing his stomach. The long nails on his hand were acting as knifes slowly making holes in his muscular abdomen.

Pietro blinked a couple of times, everything was getting cloudy.

"It'll be over soon…" came a small growl.

Pietro closed his eyes but squinted them open as he heard…

"Maybe for you…"

Sabertooth looked up at the voice and stumbled backwards as he got a boot to the face.

Pietro tried opening his eyes fully and when he did he looked into hazel eyes that were getting watery.

"Pietro…are you ok?"

Pietro looked at the young woman above him. She lifted him up so he could rest on her and then felt a soft hand lift his shirt.

"Lex?" he mumbles softly.

"Ya," she whispered softly as she checked the damage.

"I though you were gone…I got you're going away present."

Lexa looked at him with an unreadable expression, "I had to get rid of my competition."

"What are you doing here?" he asked almost inaudibly.

"What do you think?"

Pietro gave a soft smirk, "I knew…" 'cough' "You couldn't stay away from me…"

"I guess so…" she answered as a small tear fell on to his cheek. "Now hush…you should reserve you're strength…" and with that she gave him a small kiss on his forehead.

"But I…"

"Wolverine's Brat."

Lexa looked up to see Victor Creed looking at her and Pietro. She carefully set him down to lean on a wall and stood up.

"You must be Sabertooth," she stated wiping the corner of her eye. The older man ignored her and growled.

"What? You're daddy can't come get revenge on his own so he sends his brat?"

X-23 perked an eyebrow at the large man in front of her. "What the hell are you talking about?" she asked him.

Victor stared at her and tried to decide whether she was telling the truth or if she was acting stupid After a second he saw that she didn't really know what he was talking about and smirked.

"How very sad…you don't even know you're father's biggest secret…his biggest fear…which is about to become a reality…" and with that he ran towards her.

X-23 stood her ground and when he got close enough she did a cartwheel and a loud "snkit" was heard. Victor stopped and his eyes looked around for X-23 who was now across the room. As his eyes found her a big chunk of his hair fell to the ground.

"I'm not gonna be that easy to get rid of," she warned him. His eyes looked at her hands…no claws there. He then looked at her feet and where she had an adamantium claw on each foot.

"Neither will I," he answered and smirked.

Pietro then watched as both got in an intense battle. His eyes started getting droopy and closed every once in a while missing many attacks. The loss of blood was getting to him. The only times he forced his eyes to open was when he heard X-23 give anguish yells.

When he heard the loudest of her screams though…he couldn't open his eyes and he blacked out…the last thing he heard was her loud yell.

Lexa's feet were in the air as Sabertooth pinned her to the wall with his hand on her throat. Soon all she could do was gurgle and her eyes started opening wide as if they were going to pop out. She looked over to where she had put Pietro and noticed that he was knocked out.

Victor noticed her stare as she tried getting his hands off to get air. "Don't worry…he'll join you soon afterwards," he growled.

X-23 looked over to Sabertooth and managed a glare, as she did he smirked and said, "Now Scream…just like you mommy did before she died…"

Lex's eyes widened again but not because of her lost of air but because of shock.

"She was very beautiful…dark skin like yours. The white hair was odd since she really wasn't old but she was in fact beautiful. You know what I found her the most attractive? When she was like this…gasping for air…that's right…I killed your mother…what? Didn't daddy dearest tell you that?"

X-23 just stared at him and started chocking and her face was turning a red. As her last breath was fading a loud window breaking sound made Sabertooth turn and he went flying towards the opposite end of the room making X-23 fall to the ground and gasp for air.

When she looked up she stared at concerned brown eyes. After catching her breath she said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Cause this is my battle…not yours," the person then got up and faced Victor Creed.

X-23 then watched the person she had always looked up to walk towards the hairier man. She grabbed at her neck and rubbed it and rotated it sideways to get feeling into it. This was not her battle…but it didn't mean she wasn't planning to join in.

With a loud "snikt" a long awaited fight of revenge started. X-23 started in astonish as the both older men gave the attacks their all. When the fight would be over…it would really be over because in the end only one would be alive.

Sabertooth was fighting for his life…the stressed look on his face showed that he wasn't sure if he was going to win. Also he wasn't expecting Wolverine's appearance, he was just expecting to get rid of a couple of brats.

Wolverine was fighting for his life too but also for more. He was planning on getting revenge for his loved one…and also to ensure the safety of his only treasure.

Lexa watched them fight for a couple of minutes and noticed that her dad was getting tired. She could notice it in his movements. She sighed and looked over at Pietro again and then smirked as she ran towards the older men.

Sabertooth didn't notice the surprise attack until he heard another loud "snikt". When he looked over to the side he saw four claws barley missing his nose.

"Lex I told you…" Logan started.

"You know what they say…12 claws are better than 6," she interrupted and then surprised both of them by bringing her legs up and kicking Sabertooth making him stumble backwards and hit the rollie chair next to Pietro's desk.

Wolverine looked at X-23 hesitantly as Victor started getting up, "I dunno kid…"

"You taught me everything I know…how can you not have confidence me?"

"It's not that," he answered impatiently and looked at Sabertooth, "I just don't wanna…"

"You're not gonna lose me…I know what I'm doing…cause I've learned from best."

Logan looked back to her and then they both looked back to Sabertooth who was rushing towards them with an angry expression. They then turned to each other and smirked before going towards him.

The both threw kicks and punches at him in unison. Victor looked around and tried dodging them all which was hard because he wasn't sure where they were coming from. He looked look at his arch enemy who had a tight grasp on his arm and he was smirking. Sabertooth was about to free his hand and tackle him down when he felt feet hit him on his chest making him move backwards and hit something cold and smooth.

When he opened his eyes he saw that it was the window and that he was pressed against it, wolverine's hand was no longer on him too.

"Would you like to do the honor or should I?" Wolverine asked.

"Well your always whining about how we never do father daughter stuff so lets just do it together," she answered.

They smirked and then threw a kick to Sabertooth's back. As it made contact with him the window broke and Victor tried grabbing on to something as he started to fall.

"You know they say cat's always land on their feet," X-23 told her father as they watched him fall.

'BAM"

"Not that one," Wolverine answered and gave a disgusted look. Lexa mirrored the look but then looked up at her father.

"We need to talk about mom…"

"Later…it's time to go," he stated and started walking out towards the exit.

"Wait…I Can't leave him," Lexa answered and looked over to where Pietro was leaning.

Wolverine turned and barley noticed the smell of blood. He looked at Lexa with a perked eyebrow before going to the boy and putting him over his shoulder. He then walked out of the office, X-23 stayed behind and looked around the destroyed room before following.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

Rogue drank the last of her coffee before looking at her watch and then outside. The rain had stopped and everything was calm. Her hair was still wet but she didn't mind.

Remy watched her carefully. It was amazing how calm she was being even though all this crazy stuff was happing to her.

"It's time for me to go back…" she told him in a low voice.

Remy nodded and started getting up. "I'll walk ya…" as she got up he went and paid and soon there were back outside.

"Have you thought about where you guys are going?"

"No, but ah suppose we'll just know when we get there yah know. Not plan ahead just see where the wind takes yah."

Remy nodded.

"What about yah? Going back to play cop?"

"Non…" Rogue looked at him in surprise. "I think it's time to stop being something I'm not…"

"So where yah going?"

"Home…to New Orleans…"

Rogue nodded and they both got quiet not being sure what else to say. What else could they say? They both knew there was attraction between them…feelings…but what was the point of bringing them up when they were going to go their separate ways.

A few minutes later they stood before Lensher Industries. The building stood dark and lonely, it seemed very dead.

"This is it," she told him making it sound like they had just come back from a date and he was dropping her off at home.

"Oui…c'est avoir…"

"Oui…" she answered as he leaned in for a kiss. Rogue met him half way and let his hands wonder around her body. She then pulled away and whispered bye, gave him another peck and started up the fire escape stairs to where the others would be.

When she reached the top she found…no one.

"Guys?" she called out but got no response. She did however see and object on a ledge near her. When she got to it she saw it was a small yellow cell phone. There was a small text message on the screen. It read:

"I'm sorry."

Rogue looked at carefully knowing very well what it meant. She gave a small smile and then turned around to wait for the others but as she did she bumped into someone. She was expecting to see Wanda or Lex but was confused when she looked into red on black orbs.

"What…" she didn't finish asking the question because he showed her a small white cell phone that was in his palm. She looked at it strangely.

"She said she didn't have the guts to come and tell you herself. Dark skinned girl…about 5 foot 3...long brown hair…"

"Chocolate eyes…"

"Oui…"

Rogue nodded and took the phone from him and squished in her hand.

"Everything ok?" Remy asked.

"Ya…" she answered as her own phone started vibrating.

"Hello?"

'Rogue…'

"Where are yah it's time to go."

'Change of plans. Sabertooth was after Pietro and I went and saved him but then I started getting my ass kicked and then my dad showed up out of nowhere…'

"Are yah in the building?"

'No…We're on our way back to the base. Dad said you guys should make your way back over here too…'

"That's gonna be a problem…Amara and Jubilee are gone."

'WHAT? Where to?'

"Ah have no idea where Jubes is…but Amara's with…Roberto."

'She didn't…'

"No"

'You knew that was gonna happen…didn't you?'

"No…but ah'm glad it did. They were too young and innocent to be doing this forever."

'Where's Wanda?'

"Ah dunno…she's not here and yah know she's never late."

'You think something happened to her?'

"Ah doubt it…she does stupid things but yah know she always come out alright in the end…ah'm sure she'll call me later. Ah'm leaving the city now though…"

'All right…Rogue…'

"Hmm?"

'Be careful'

"Always am…"

Rogue hung up and looked at the dark sky. Now that the rain had stopped the wind was blowing hard making small goose bumps appear on her arms. The went away as something heavy caressed her shoulders. She looked up to see that it was Remy's trench coat.

He took her hand and started dragging her away but she pulled away and then walked over to the yellow cell phone and did the same to it as she had done with the white one. She then dropped the pieces onto the roof, she had broken the connection both younger girls had had to the killing world. After staring at them for a second she walked back towards Remy and they both made their way off the roof.

OoOoOoOo Police Department- Next day OoOoOoOo

"Are you feeling better officer Wagner?"

"Yes Amanda thank you. Has anyone found any trace of the three suspects?"

"I'm afraid not sir."

"How is that possible…no one can just disappear into thin air…but some how my sister always seems to do it. I want the best cops you department has on this case. Where are officers Allerdyce and Lebeau?"

"Haven't you heard?" Amanda asked surprised.

"What?"

"Officers Lebeau and Allerdyce are gone…"

"Gone? Where?"

"Remy Lebeau resigned yesterday. He said he was going back home to New Orleans. As for John Allerdyce no one knows. When the chief walked into his office this morning his badge was on his desk with a letter of resignation."

Kurt nodded and looked at the wall as if they were something special on it. He then turned away from it and looked at the three files on his desk. They read: Wanda Maximoff, Laura Lex Howlett and Anna Marie Darkholme.

'I will find you…someday…' he thought to himself as he looked at the picture of his sister. 'Someday…' and with that he closed all the files and looked out at the window as the sun started to rise.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

It was a nice dream…everything was sunny and happy…there were no more problems and no more blood.

She suddenly woke up as the sun light burst onto her face. Jubilee popped up automatically and as she opened her eyes she expected to be in some kind of gray cell. Instead she found herself in a dark blue room, a room she hadn't seen before.

Ray walked in suddenly making her remember what had happened last night. He looked a bit shock to see her up. They just looked at each other for an awkward moment before he smiled at her.

"Hey…"

"Hi," she answered shyly and covered herself with the thick blue blankets on his bed.

"How'd you sleep?"

She shrugged, "Good…a bit better than I usually do."

"I'm glad…" he stated and sat on the side of the bed. She nodded and looked out the window for a bit. After a while of silence he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Just my friends…you know wondering where they're at and stuff. I'm sure they're fine though. They wouldn't let themselves get caught…"

He nodded, "You know…you blew my mind yesterday when you showed up here."

Jubilee smiled, "Ya…I got that from your expression," she answered with a giggle.

"What…made you change your mind?"

Jubilee thought about it for a while, "I…dunno. I just thought about some of the things we've talked about on the way to meeting the others…and I remembered when I saw my parents murdered before my eyes. And I remembered all the pain and hatred I felt…and after that the years I craved blood…and yesterday it just suddenly stopped. Who knows…maybe it was your kiss…" she teased. "Anyway…I just knew I couldn't do it anymore…but if I saw any of them my mind might change. So I just left Anna a message and went to the only place I knew…I came to you…"

Ray smiled at her and nodded then leaned over to her and kissed her lips tenderly. She responded and wrapped her hands around his neck and they continued kissing while being bathed in sunlight.

OoOoOoOo Brazil OoOoOoOo

"You can come out you know…"

"Is it safe?"

"Amara…no one here knows you of course it's safe," Roberto answered as he laid down on a beach chair.

Amara peeked outside from their hotel room and looked around before joining him on the other beach chair. "I can't be too careful," she mumbled.

"The reason we're here is so either the states forget about you or just to make a new life here so I'm pretty sure no one here knows you," he answered while putting on some sunglasses.

"I can't believe I'm here…that I just left everything…"

"I can't believe I'm here either…I though you were going to fry me…"

"Me too," Amara admitted and put some sunscreen on.

"Why didn't you?"

"Roberto…if you don't know then I'm going to start wondering why the hell I'm even here. I mean…I wouldn't leave my career and friends behind for some stupid shit…"

"I know…" he interrupted her before she could continue rambling. "I just wanted to here you say it," he answered with a cocky smirk.

Amara rolled her eyes at him and gave him the cold shoulder making him reach out for her hand. She didn't pull away as he grabbed hold out it but she didn't look at him until she felt soft lips on her palm.

When she looked over to him he eyes met his deep chocolate ones. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it afterwards, as if he was scared to say it.

Amara watched him and hid a giggle since he looked like a goldfish. She knew what he wanted to say, she wanted to hear him say it but she knew he was having trouble with it.

So she sighed and sat up and leaned towards him.

"I know…" she told him softly. "I do too…isn't that why we're here?"

Roberto nodded and stared at her intently. "Ya…" he answered and then smiled as their lips met. He softly nibbled on her lips and she opened her mouth giving him access to her inner walls. They soon stopped and just stayed in each others enjoying the new beginning to their life together.

OoOoOoOo California OoOoOoOo

X-23 looked around the big circular room. Soon it grew dark as the lights went off. It was time to use her other scenes other than eyesight. She closed her eyes and paid close attentions to the sounds around her…using her nose would be useless in this situation.
So her ears perked up and listened for the silent metal footsteps. She stayed perfectly still and her eyes popped open as she heard something behind her. She jumped up and extended her foot backwards as her foot claw came out. She then did many turns as the metal claws in her hands came out…she threw punched and kicks into darkness. Soon she stopped and the lights went back on showing a dozen robots dismantled on the floor.

"Simulation Over"

She smirked and looked up at commander center where Wolverine was looking down at her.

Logan watched as she perked her eyebrow challenging him to throw more at her. He smiled and shook his head telling her that it was over. He then watched as she left the training room.

They had only been at the base for a couple of hours but the talk they had had must have motivated her to try and get better since she headed straight for the training room to practice. He sighed and watched her walk out of the room…

"You're mother would be proud…" he mumbled into thin air as she disappeared.

X-23 walked out of the training room with a towel over her heard. She was really hot thanks to all that exercise.

"You were great…"

Lex pulled the towel off and stared, "Hey…shouldn't you be in bed resting or something?"

"I'm ok…they're just a couple of scratches…"

"Pietro they're not scratches, you have five small holes in your stomach you should go back to bed and let yourself heal properly."

"I'm fine…plus I wanted to see you fight. Your dad looks pretty proud of you…"

Lexa smirked, "I don't disappoint," she answered.

"Believe me I know. That's one of the reason I chose you as one of my assassins…"

She nodded.

He looked a little uncomfortable before he opened his mouth and said, "Cause…I needed you as a fighter… and as more."

"I need to go shower," Lex answered and started walking pass him. Pietro grabbed her wrist and turned her around forcefully.

"This is odd…you running away?"

Lexa snapped her wrist away, "No, I'm stinky and I would like a shower," she answered and then leaned on the wall Pietro was leaning on. She glared at him. "Now what were you saying?" she asked.

Pietro started at her intently, "You're pissed about something I was saying…what is it?"

Lexa looked at him expressionless deciding whether she should say something, "Nothing…but I'm probably not the only one you wanted for that something more," she answered without really thinking.

Pietro looked at her strangely and then smirked, "God…you're jealous of someone who's dead? That's really sad."

"Excuse me?" she asked defensively.

"I didn't do anything with Crystal if that's why you're acting like a bitch. We just flirted and I stringed her along but it didn't get further than that."

"Whatever…" she answered. "It's not of my business so you don't have to explain anything to me," and she started walking away.

"God you're stubborn," he mumbled and grabbed her again. "Lex yesterday I told you that you couldn't stay away from me and you agreed. Do don't act like you don't care."

"You remember that?" she asked looking like a deer caught in head lights.

"I might have blacked out because of lose of blood but it wasn't because I was drunk so ya I remember..."

Lexa looked around hoping that someone would suddenly come and make her go somewhere. Pietro noticed and rolled his eyes.

"Why are you trying to run away from me?"

She turned and looked at him, "I'm not…" she sighed and looked into his sapphire eyes, "What are you trying to say to me Pietro…what's the point of telling me that there was nothing between you and Crystal? Why are you telling me that you need?"

"Because I do…" he answered without hesitating.

She nodded and then she might screw things up with what she was going to say next, but she had to know even if it meant reminding him of something that hurt.

"So you wanna be with me…even after you now know what I did to your father."

Pietro stayed quiet. "He's gone…you're not," he answered.

"And that means…" Lex didn't finish the question as hands pinned her to the wall and lips attacked her mouth. It didn't take long before she started responding and as her legs started coming up they both heard a throat being cleared.

X-23 pulled away and looked at the intruder, "Oh…Hi Dad…" she greeted.

Logan glared at both young adults and said, "Follow me…we need to make up some base rules," and walked away.

Lex and Pietro looked at each other and smirked. Then she went to him so he can lean on her and they both followed Wolverine.

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

Wanda opened her sapphire eyes and found she was surrounded by white.

"Where am I?" she asked out loud in a groggy voice.

"The hospital."

She turned her head to the side and found John looking at her.

"That was a cheap shot…" she whispered to him remembering what had happened.

"Had to bring you down someway."

"How much time?"

"What?"

"Will I be in the can," she stated.

John looked around as if he was thinking about it. He then shrugged, "I don't know…I'm not authorized to make that decision."

"Why? Cause you're not a judge?" she asked her tone coming out like venom

"No…cause I'm not a cop," he answered.

She looked at him like he was mental and noticed that he wasn't wearing his uniform.

"What?" she asked. "How long have I been here?"

"Just a couple of hours. I brought you here after you fainted…must have been the lost of blood." Wanda looked at her leg which was in a cast. "Then I went to the police department and…I quit."

"Why?"

"Cause I couldn't…bring you in…"

"Why?"

John shrugged, "I know you feel a lot of rage and hatred inside luv but…I know there's more to you than that Wanda. I know you're better than what you do…"

"So what? This is some kind of pity second chance?"

"It's not out of pity…but it is a second chance. Wanda…you've made it clear to me how much you hate your father…if you keep doing what you do then you're no better than me.

Wanda started at John, "Stop comparing me to him…" she mumbled and laid back down on the hospital bed. She looked at the ceiling and wondered where the others were. She knew they were gone, Rogue knew she could handle herself. "So what…are you going to stay here and make sure I stay out of 'trouble'?" she asked after a while of silence.

"I would but it doesn't seem like you'd want me too…staying out of trouble is going to be something you'll decide," after saying that he looked at her some more but she turned away and looked at the white sheets covering her legs. He sighed and got up ready to walk out of the door, and it looked like she might not want to talk to him anymore so maybe he'd also walk out of her life.

Wanda watched him out of the corner of her eyes. Her insides were screaming not to let him go. If he had brought her here…quit the job he loved doing…then it meant he cared…didn't he? But could she really give all this up? The killing life…the reason she had started was to avenge her mothers death…then from there she found she was good at it and did it as a living. She shut her eyes, 'Maybe I am like my father…' she told herself hating the fact that the Aussie might be right about that.

John turned around as he opened the door. "I need to ask ya something before I go luv…"

Wanda looked over to him expressionless.

"Did I…ever mean anything to you?" he asked. Wanda just looked at him but didn't answer making John sigh and start walking out the door. Before he could leave though, the door glowed blue and shut right in front of his face almost smacking him. He turned into dark sapphire eyes.

"You did…you do," she corrected and the looked back to the sheets. John looked around and then at her before sitting in the chair again.

"This is all fucked up isn't it?" he asked with a smirk.

"What is?" she asked turning to him once again.

"Mate meets Shelia…Mate likes Shelia…Shelia likes the Mate but in the end it turns out the Shelia is a dangerous killer and the Mate happens to be a big shot official…"

Wanda nodded, "Life sucks," she told him like it was nothing.

"But…the mate isn't an official anymore so…what do you think?" he asked her.

"I think that the relationship the mate had with the shelia was a bit torn after her secret came out…but I think…maybe over time…that torn could mend…and maybe she might change…but the shelia isn't making any promises…" she answered.

"I think the mate would like that…because even if the Shelia doesn't change…she's willing to make an effort," he answered in a whispered and barley noticed that he was leaning in towards Wanda.

Wanda slowly nodded and as she did her nose rubbed against his. He lips then slowly lifted her meet hers. The kiss was sweet and gentle…a lot like the one he had given to her before their love making. Wanda pulled away and her forehead leaned on his.

"What if this doesn't work? What if I can't change?" she asked.

"We'll make it work," he answered.

Wanda nodded and went deep into thought as John stared at her but didn't move. Wanda backed away from him and asked, "You got a cell phone?"

"Ya," he answered and handed his phone over.

Wanda took it and looked at John while the phone rang. She looked at him expressionless before giving a small smile, maybe this could work but there was only one way to find out…

OoOoOoOo Elsewhere OoOoOoOo

"HEY! My purse is MISSING! Help SOMEONE PLEASE!"

Remy smirked and looked to his side. "Chere…y' really need to stop stealing something at every corner we make."

"What? Meh? Yah know there could be other thieves around here why are yah blaming me?" Rogue asked as she looked through a pink purse when they were far away.

Remy smiled and looked away, "Mon pere is gonna love y'…"

Rogue sniffed a perfume from the bag and threw it away after making a 'yuck' face. "Ya well just hope that ah don't love him cause then you're screwed," she joked while looking through the bag some more.

"Y' wouldn't leave Remy for his pere…I'm way better looking," he answered as she dropped the bag into a trash can and took her hand.

She looked at the entwined hands and then up at his face. "Why exactly and ah going to New Orleans again?" she asked out of curiosity as he lead her further and further away from New York.

Remy opened his mouth to respond but noticed Rogue's back pocket was vibrating. She felt it too and took out her cell.

"Hello?"

'Hey…'

"Wanda where they hell are yah I've been trying to contact you forever."

'I'm in Bayville hospital.'

"WHAT?"

'Long story I'll tell it later…where are you and the others?'

"X-23 is back at the base with Wolverine…and Pietro. As for Magma and Jubilee ah have no idea…they've decided tah go their own separate ways…"

'And you are?'

"Around…why yah wanted to meet meh or sumthing?"

'No…actually I just wanted to let you know that I'm staying in New York…'

Rogue eyes widened a bit, "Yah sure…are yah gonna be ok?"

'You know I can handle myself…'

"Ya…ah know but…that doesn't mean ah don't…"

'I know…' Wanda interrupted her knowing what she was going to say.

"All right then. Take care and call Lex tah let her know…ah think she and Pie are wondering where yah're at."

'Ok…bye…'

"Bye…Wanda…"

'Ya?'

"Stay in touch…"

'I will…'

"You better…or I'll hunt yah down and shoot yah…and you know ah can."

Wanda gave a small chuckle but answered, 'Ya…I know…I'll miss you' and then she hung up.

Rogue looked at the phone afterwards and bit her lip.

"What is it?" Remy asked.

She shook her head, "Nothing…just saying goodbye," she whispered. "Where were we?" she asked looking back up at him and putting the phone away.

"I was about at tell ya that you're coming to New Orleans cause you love me…"

"In yah dreams," she answered with a roll of her eyes.

"Fine if it isn't that then it's cause…"

"Ya?"

"We have great sex," he answered with a charming smile.

"Yah know ah think that might be it," she answered while a sly smirk. He did too and in surprise grabbed her and pinned her to a brick wall crashing into another couple on their way.

"Hey!" they both whined and then passed the southerner couple.

Remy and Rogue pulled apart when the other couple had gone farther away. They looked at them and then at each other, seconds later Remy took out a wallet and Rogue brought out a dark brown purse.

"Too easy," they stated in unison and smirked at each other. Rogue leaned up and kissed Remy again and let her mouth open so their tongues could wrestle each other. She then pulled away and they started walking down the street.

"Why do we make such a bon team?" Remy asked while putting is hand over her shoulders.

"Cause…maybe we were meant to be," Rogue answered.

Remy turned to look at her and nodded, "Maybe…" he answered and they kept walking.

As they walked down the street many people watched them walk away thinking they looked like a sweet couple…others didn't pay attention and seconds later screamed that they had been robbed.

OoOoOoOo The End OoOoOoOo

Hmmm…I'm not sure how I feel about this chap lol. It is the last chap though, you guys can try and imagine what happened afterwards lol. So what do you all think? Was it good? Or bad? Should I quit my fanfic career now?

Lol, I honestly thought there was to much fighting in this chapter. It's everywhere. I loved writing Amara though, even if she was total bitch since she did that to Warren but still…she was badass in this chapter. KK anyway now for my ship talk…

Romy- There was actually not a lot of them in this chapter. Before anyone bombards me with questions why it's because they accepted who they were. You know they didn't have that big of a problem. Also sometimes I don't like writing them…not because I don't love them...they are my biggest and #1 OTP of the world but I get scared I might screw them up and everyone will hate me lol. Anyhoo yay they left together to new Orleans…and are robbing every other person they see…

Jonda- HE SHOT HER! Who hates me for that? Hehe I've been dying to write that scene since chapter 3. Yes he shot her…but she's ok and better yet it brought them together in the end lol.

Xietro- sigh My stubborn couple. Hehe she killed Crystal…I was waiting to do that too. Poor Pie got stabbed by sabey too, but he had his X-23 to go and rescue him : )

Jubilay- I loved their ending. It so sweet and pure.

Amarto- Lol, they actually fought…and he was beating her…how sad…but survival of the fittest right? It's a good thing she ended up following her heart cause one of the might have died OO

Ok well that's all. I'm sad now that it's all over…a little shocked that I separated them all in the end. Lol that's the first time I've done that. Anyhoo…that's all…I hope you enjoyed this story and will be tuning into my next.

As for what I'm gonna do next…for about a month or so I'm not gonna write at all. I'm in my last 6 weeks of school and graduating soon. So I'm gonna go ahead and focus on school work and on my free time do some music vids or avies. But never fear I won't be gone forever…I actually have my next fic idea in mind and here is the summary…

Rebellious Hearts (title might change)- Yah're rich, going tah the best boarding school in the country and have a lot of good friends…so what can go wrong? Forh one, mah boyfriend just dumped meh tah have a secret affair with mah arch rival. Two, mah best friend denies the obvious attraction between her the school player. Three, my new friend is plahing cat and mouse with the school's Aussie and tah make matters worse there's somekinda of chemistry between meh and my rivals new boyfriend…could things get any worse? Of course thay can…and will. Romy, Jonda, Xietro, Jubilay and Amarto

So what do you think?
