Amelia stormed quickly down the hall.
She, was fuming. Xavier had just out right told her 'no' when she asked him to tell her where Audrey was. All he would say way 'She's safe, she deserves her privacy too'. Disgusting, he was supposed to be on her side!
"Refuse to tell me where my sister is." She growled to herself, shoving the kitchen door open and walking through without so much as glancing at the teenagers sitting at the counter and eating ice cream.
Bobby stopped mid bite and smiled sadistically. "Pyro's in trouble."
Rogue rolled her eyes.
Through the kitchen, then up the stairs. Grim was muttering to herself practically every step. "Every right to know." She said under her breath. Clenching her palms. "Not like I'm going to kill the kid-" She stopped talking to herself and thought as she turned up another flight of stairs. "Well I won't kill Audrey." She stated reaching the top of the stairs and throwing open the large wood door in front of her. Stomping into the hall. "But that little pyromaniac punk's a different story."
She walked right to the end of the hall and stopped in front of the last door. "You're not the only telepath at this school old man." Then, without any further hesitation- Amelia banged on the door and waited.
There was no answer.
She banged again, less patiently.
No answer, no sound from inside.
"Damn it! I know you're in there!" She said, slapping the door with her open palm.
The door was suddenly yanked open, Jean stood, looking unimaginably frustrated. "What?"
"I need your help." Amelia stated, hands on hips.
Jean blinked.
"It's getting dark and my sisters gone and Xavier wont tell me where she is, and you're the most powerful telepath I could go to- so." Amelia spread her arms a little. "Here I am."
"You don't even like me." Jean stated.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I mean- I'm just surprised you even considered coming to me."
"I did more than consider." Amelia said, "I'm actually here."
Jean seemed to be lost in her own head for a minute. Then. "Xavier doesn't want you to-"
"Look, Xavier might be able to read minds. But he doesn't know Audrey." Amelia said. "I do, and the girls a walking disaster waiting to happen."
Jean seemed to be listening.
"So far in her lifetime she's been kidnapped, drown, put in a coma, fallen off a building, broken her arm, set the house on fire, set a cat on fire, crashed the car, and started two different riots." Amelia took a deep breath. "I just need to know, where she is and if she is safe. That's all!"
"She's started riots…"
"The first one when she was nine."
Jean blinked again. "She's safe."
Amelia looked less than convinced. "How do you know?"
"They're sneaking in down stairs." Jean stated.
This time Amelia blinked.
"I think that stain might actually be there awhile." Audrey said, running her hand over the big blue blotch on Johns back.
His shoulders twitched involuntarily as she did this.
"But." She said, standing on her toes and setting her chin on his shoulder. "It's a happy stain."
He looked over at her skeptically. "There are happy stains."
"Yea." She wrinkled her nose. "Two different kinds, this is the clean kind."
Then to Audrey's delight, John grinned. He'd grinned at her dirty joke. And, that made her grin.
She took her head off his shoulder and walked in front of him, tilting her chin upward. Waggling her eyebrows.
John only smiled at her, and then leaned down. Before his lips could touch hers however.
"Where have you been?"
Audrey's eyes- which had closed in the anticipation of a kiss- flew open.
"Ooo," She breathed, looking up at John seriously. "Busted."
"Completely irresponsible." Amelia said, pacing in front of the large leather couch Audrey and John sat on. Each on different ends. "How- no forget how." She stopped pacing and looked to her little sister darkly. "I know how you could be this irresponsible, you were born this irresponsible."
"Look, what's the big deal?" Audrey asked, standing. "We went out, we had fun, and we came back."
"What's the big deal!" Amelia yelled. "You could be dead."
"I'm not."
"That's good!"
"Good!"
"I was worried!"
"You shouldn't have been!" Audrey yelled back. "I was fine."
"I didn't know that!"
"Don't you trust me?"
"No, I don't trust him!" Amelia pointed at John, who lifted his eyebrows.
"Well I do!" Audrey stated, putting her hands on her hips. John's eyes shifted to his red haired spas and his eyebrows went up further.
"He kidnapped you!" Amelia shouted.
"So what?" Audrey demanded.
And the fighting continued as a group of students formed outside the den. Silently watching.
Bobby and Rogue had actually started it. Rogue felt bed about that. About hearing the yelling from the kitchen and coming in here and watching all of this.
It was their personal business and nobody should have been watching. She looked next to her where Bobby stood, his eyebrows knotting.
"Why are they only yelling at each other?" He whispered. "Why isn't Grim dusting Pyro.?"
"Because she's angrier at her sister for being irresponsible." Rogue whispered back.
"If anybody should be angry it should be the redhead." Jubilee said. "She was just trying to have a good time."
"She nearly died." Kitty told them. "She shouldn't have been out at all; she should have been here where it's safe."
"Who says its safe here for her?" Colossus asked, having to bend down to the others height. "It's barely safe here for us."
"Do you think they'll start hitting each other?" Static questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Do you think they'll take their cloths off?" Shock, Static's identical twin questioned.
"Maybe they'll take their cloths off and hit each other." Static said, his face lighting up.
They both grinned evilly.
Jubilee hit static upside the head. "Quit being a pervert."
Shock started to chuckle, then yelped as a small explosion of fireworks singed his ear.
"You too." She added warningly.
Both thirteen year old boys scowled.
"You think The Reapers going to dust her?" Colossus wondered out loud.
"You think maybe you guys should go do your homework or something?" Logan asked from behind them.
Everyone's eyes widened slightly. They turned slowly to the large clawed man who had his arms folded over his chest. They did the only thing they could do- they feigned innocence.
"Hey Logan." Static said.
"How's it going?" Shock asked.
Wolverine only lifted an eyebrow at them.
"We were just leaving." Rogue said, gabbing Bobby and pulling him off.
"Yea. Us too." Colossus said, walking off with Kitty.
"Same here." The twins said at exactly the same moment, and with a loud zap- they were gone.
Jubilee, the only one left smiled. "Want to watch the big fight with me?"
"Clear off." Logan said.
"Clearing." She chirped, bouncing away.
"Why am I even arguing with you?" Amelia snapped.
"Because you're too damn stubborn and you wont just back off!" Audrey retorted, very loudly.
Despite the fact, he knew he shouldn't have gotten involved in this. Logan spoke up when Amelia didn't respond to what her little sister had said.
"She was just worried about ya, kid." He said, leaning against the doorway.
"Stay out of it!" Audrey shouted at him, with a ferocity which made his eyebrows shoot upward.
"Don't yell at him." Amelia warned.
"Can I say something?" John asked, standing up.
"No!"
"Hey, if I can't yell at your boyfriend- you sure as hell can't yell at mine." Audrey said, for the first time in several minutes- not yelling.
Everyone fell silent.
Logan raised a single eyebrow.
John ran his hand through his hair.
Amelia huffed. "Logan is not my boyfriend." She jerked her thumb towards John. "And you're not old enough to date."
"I'm seventeen." Audrey stated.
"Well." Amelia put her hands on her hips and seemed to struggle with her words for a moment. "You- you, aren't allowed to date until…"
"Until what, menopause?" Audrey asked.
Amelia ground her teeth and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Audrey, you don't know what you're getting into by being here. You're just a kid."
"No I'm not."
"You're not an adult."
"Yes I am."
"No, your not."
"Yah- I am."
"Prove it."
Now, what Amelia had meant by 'Prove it.' was, prove you're an adult and do something responsible. Unfortunately, all she had said was prove it. And Audrey wasn't the kind of girl who would respond to what you meant.
And John knew, exactly what she was going to do. Before she'd even done it.
Audrey reached up and cupped both of her breasts- pushing them upward with little to no shame. Holding her proof as it were. "Need any more proof, do ya?" She demanded.
Logan's jaw dropped.
Amelia's eyes narrowed.
John had to hold back an entertained smile.
"Go to your room." Amelia said quietly. Biting her lip.
"Gladly." Audrey replied sweetly. Grabbing Johns hand and pulling him from the room without a look back.
Logan walked into the room, his arms folded. "Grim?"
"I know." She sighed, allowing her head to roll back. "She doesn't have a room."
I'm sorry it was short, there is no excuse other than I've been busy and I promise to update soon with a nice- good- long- rounded chapter!
