Chapter 7- Maybe. . . Maybe Not!
Dru had walked to her room when she stopped and heard voices talking inside her room. The intruders were trying to whisper but with her keen hearing, Dru could hear what they were talking about.
"What if we get caught?!" Dru knew right away whose voice it was. Bobby's.
"Were not going to get caught. Dru's in her class right now. She won't be back in her room for another three more hours." Dru knew that it was Pyro was who speaking to Bobby that they weren't going to get caught snooping in her room.
I'll show them. Dru closed her eyes and started concentrating. This is going to get good.
Pyro was searching through Dru's drawers when he felt himself being lifted up into the air. The same thing happened to Bobby.
"What the hell!" Pyro tried to grab on to something but everything was all out of reach for him.
Dru stopped concentrating and she heard two huge thumps falling down from the air and a lot of cursing.
"Damn it! I think I bruised my ass bone!" Pyro was rubbing his ass to make sure he didn't break it.
Dru opened her door and acted surprised to see that Bobby and Pyro were in her room for no good reason.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?!" Dru walked over to her drawers and made sure that nothing was missing.
Pyro and Bobby couldn't come up with a good lie about what their reasons were for being caught in Dru's room.
"If, I ever catch you guys in my room again, your asses will be mine and you will end up losing your family jewels. Do I make myself fucking clear?" She let them off the hook for this time.
"Yes. But what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class." Bobby asked trying to change the subject.
"This is my room and the same should be said for both of you." Dru was starting to get irritated by Bobby's stupid questions.
Pyro tried to come up with another excuse as to why Bobby and him were in Dru's room.
"You know what. I'll let you off the hook okay and the reason I came back to my room was because I came to get my jacket and also I'm going out." Dru went to her closet and started searching for her leather black jacket that she had taken from her ex-boyfriend a while back. She could sense that the guys' were watching her.
"Pyro, do you want to join me?" Dru was getting fed up with Bobby and wanted to spend time with Pyro. She saw that her and Pyro were alike in the sense that they both didn't like authority and hated to be bossed around.
"Sure." Anything to be with you alone.
Pyro wanted any chance he could get to spend some alone time with Dru outside the mansion. He knew he wouldn't be able to talk to Dru, what with Logan and Bobby standing in his the way of him and Dru knowing each other. He wanted to know more about Dru and her personal life.
I can't let her go off by herself with Pyro. What if he tries something. Bobby thought to himself.
He knew he didn't want Pyro to think that he liked Dru and it wouldn't be fair to Rogue, but he had to do something. So he did what any guy who is in denial of lusting after a girl. He blurted out something stupid.
"But you need the Professor's permission to leave the mansion!" Bobby blurted out.
"I don't need nobody's damn permission to do, what I want and when I want to do it!" Dru bent down and started searching under her bed for her messenger bag.
Pyro was getting a good view of Dru's backside and he was loving it. He wanted to reach out and pinch her apple bottom.
"Are you staring at my ass?" Dru was still searching for her messenger bag but could sense that Pyro was looking at her ass.
"What if I am? Is it a crime to admire a girl's ass and not give thanks to God that he took some extra time out of his busy schedule on making you." Pyro said suavely.
"Nice pick-up line. Do you use it often or am I the first?" She couldn't believe that Pyro used that line. Dru had heard that line many a times when she passed through towns and it was very cheesy.
"You're the first." Pyro was really enjoying flirting with her but Dru and vice versa but Dru could tell from hearing Bobby's thoughts that he was getting jealous.
"I found my bag!" Dru got up and brushed off dirt that attached itself to her shirt. Her shirt lifted up while she was dusting herself off and Pyro saw a glimpse of a tattoo on her stomach.
"What's that?" Bobby also too saw the tattoo on Dru's stomach.
"This old thing? I got it when I was fifteen. I got it as a present from an ex-boyfriend of mine. He asked what I wanted for a gift and I said I wanted a tattoo."
Dru lifted up her shirt a little bit more not to the point where they could see her bra, but a couple of millimeters where they saw the words, "AMORE" tattooed in black ink right smack dab in the middle of her stomach.
"It means, love. He thought I got it for him but I didn't. I would never get a tattoo to dedicate it to a boyfriend. It's my body and I do with it as I please. I got a couple more but I'll leave that to your dirty imagination."
Dru raised down her shirt and pulled on her leather jacket. She had mended the jacket to make it her own after she had taken it from her ex-boyfriend in Vegas. Dru used a red spray paint to write the word BADASS on the back of the jacket and stuck buttons with words on them. Her favorite button was a huge red pin that had the word "DORK" in big white letters. She looked around the room to see if there was anything else she needed. She didn't.
"Okay, let's rock and roll! You want to come Bobby?" Dru wanted to spend time with Pyro but she didn't want Bobby to feel left out. Unlike her father, she had some compassion for looking after people but most of the time she was a bitch but hey who could blame her?
"Mmm, I don't know." Bobby did want to go but how would he explain it to Rogue if she found out she was with Dru.
"Come on Bobby, have some fun for once." Dru wanted to test at how far Bobby would go to have fun.
"I haven't been out in a while since . . . " Bobby didn't know how to tell Dru the events that had happened a year ago. He didn't want to bring up what happen at Stryker's compound and Jean giving up her life to save the rest of the team.
"Since Jean died, that's what you wanted to say. Logan told me all about what happened with the Professor and Jean." Dru said knowingly.
It was a lie though, Logan didn't tell her the events that had happen before she got here. Instead she read his thoughts and saw memories that flashed in her father's mind when Dru had told him she knew what he wanted to say but didn't have the heart to tell. She saw memories of a women with red hair, Dru assumed the women was Jean. Dru could feel the love Logan had felt for Jean and in a blink of an eye, Jean was taken from him. Pyro noticed that she was staring off into space.
"You okay." Pyro got concerned after she went into a zombie-like state after her comment on Jean and the Professor.
"Yeah, it's just that I was thinking about which ride of Cyclops's we should take for a spin." A mischievous smile was starting to form on Dru's lips.
"Good idea." Pyro was up for anything Dru threw in his way.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby tried to talk Pyro and Dru out of taking any of Cyclops's rides' but to no avail they wouldn't listen to him. He changed his mind and told them that he wasn't going with them. Bobby said he would meet them later on but then the group heard Rogue calling out for Bobby.
"Bobby! Bobby, where are you?" By this time classes were already over and the student's were either eating or hanging around designated areas where they could be at.
"Over here!" Pyro shouted out. The group were in a unrestricted area and only the X-Men were allowed in this part of the mansion.
Rogue followed the echo of Pyro's voice and found the bunch a couple of feet away from the garage that was filled with Cyclops rides.
"Bobby you weren't in class today and what are you guys doing here? You shouldn't be here." Rogue directly said this last comment directly to Dru.
"Well, we're skipping classes and going to live like there is no tomorrow. Wanna come?" Dru genuinely had no bad feelings towards Rogue and wanted to become acquaintances.
"Come on Rogue. Live a little." Pyro said temptingly.
Dru gave Rogue and Bobby a little push by inserting thoughts of leaving the school into their heads. She gave them thoughts of going to the beach, to the movies, hanging out in pool clubs, and such. They both thought that it was them that thought of what would happen if they left with Dru and Pyro. Bobby and Rogue agreed and Pyro was off put by the couple actually wanting to skip classes. He thought of the couple as the Beaver Cleaver's and would be all wishy-washy.
"Okay, now let's go get ourselves a ride!" Pyro said.
The whole group but Dru had seen the inside of the garage. It was filled with cars, motorcycle's, dirt bikes, and more.
"Damn! I've walked into heaven!" Dru said excitedly. She ran over to one particular car that she liked. A 1967 Blue Ford Mustang Coupe. She always wanted one and now since it was here it, Cyclops's wouldn't mind one bit if she took it out for a joy ride.
"Over here you guys. This is the one." Dru opened the door to the car and got into the driver's seat.
Dru looked around the interior of the Mustang. It had everything she could have thought of. It looked like Cyclops had restored the Mustang and now it was a beaut.
"You have good taste Dru." Pyro opened the door to the passenger seat and got in.
"You lovebirds getting in or what?!" Dru shouted to Bobby and Rogue who were looking uneasy.
"Yeah, were coming." Rogue pulled Bobby by his arm. Pyro got out of the car and opened the passenger seat to let them in the back seat.
Dru asked in a motherly fashion if everyone had their seatbelts on.
"Damn!"
"What is it Dru?" Pyro asked.
"How are we supposed to go joy riding if we don't have the keys to the car?" Dru looked around her space, searching for the keys.
"I kinda forgot to tell you that Cyclops keeps all the keys to the cars and bikes in his room." Bobby said embarrassingly.
"Well, that won't be a problem for me will it?" Dru gave the group a devious smile.
"What are you thinking?" Rogue asked Dru curiously.
"Well I don't won't to be a copier by using my blades just like Logan did when the school was invaded and I do want to make a copy of the key, so I will be back in less in ten minutes. You guys stay put." Dru unhooked her seatbelt and got out of the car.
"You're going to get caught!" Pyro shouted to Dru who was already out the door. They couldn't stop Dru and they knew it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dru found Cyclops bed room without hesitation. She smelled the air for his scent and found that he was currently in his classroom grading papers and she had enough time to search through his things for the car keys. She started looking in his cabinets making sure she didn't disturb his settings, she didn't want him to suspect someone was in his room.
After two to three minutes of searching, she found a hidden compartment behind the head board of his bed. You couldn't even detect it unless you fell and hit your head on his bed board which would unlikely happen.
Dru made sure the key she got off the rack of keys was the right one to the Mustang. She looked around the room a bit and saw on the night stand a bottle of Tommy Girl. She swiped it and put it in her jacket.
This must have been Jean's but now it's mine, Dru thought.
She also saw a picture of Cyclops and Jean and took the picture too. She tear out the picture of Jean and give it to Logan later. With the other half of the picture, she would burn it or maybe keep it as a souvenir. Dru sniffed Cyclops scent to know if he was still in the classroom grading papers. He wasn't. Cyclops was coming straight to his bedroom!
"Damn!" Dru looked around to find a good hiding place but then she remembered she could levitate out of here.
She saw doors which led to a balcony and moving like a cheetah running after its meal, opened the doors before she smashed into them, and flew out into the sky. Dru turned around and closed the doors just a few seconds before Cyclops opened his door and entered.
He looked around and saw that nothing was out of place but a perfume kind of smell come to his nose. It smelled like Tommy Girl, it was one of Jean's favorite perfumes but he knew someone else had that scent. He just couldn't put his finger on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dru flew outside the garage door and with such great force she opened the garage door and surprised Bobby, Pyro, and Rogue who thought they were caught. She held out the keys in front of them.
"You scared us. We thought you were the Professor or Cyclops." Rogue said.
"How long was I gone?" Dru wanted to know if she'd beaten her record of breaking and entering.
"About eight minutes." Bobby looked at his watch to make sure.
"I beat my time by a minute and a half." Dru was pleased with herself.
"Are you happy now?" Pyro asked.
"Yes. Now, let's hit the road!" Dru ran over to the driver's side and started the car over.
She roared the engine with such a noise that practically the whole school heard the commotion but Dru was very clever into thinking it was the jet plane. Dru put the car in drive and pushed the pedal to the metal and the gang sped off. The car raced off out of the garage door which Dru had previously opened. They sped until they saw that the gates has opened by themselves without hesitation.
"Woohoo!" Pyro shouted out the window. Pyro stuck his body out of the window and shouted that he was free. Dru drove the car with one hand while the other hand she was trying to use to grab Pyro and bring him back into the car.
"Pyro, get your ass back in here. If you become decapitated it's not my god damn fault!" Dru was swerving across the road.
"Okay!" Pyro pulled his body back into the car and rolled up the window.
"So what's next?" Rogue asked curiously.
"Whatever the fuck we want to do!" Dru yelled joyfully.
The car roared off onto the highway. Dru had noticed that Nightcrawler had been watching her since she had decided to cut class and go back to her room. He thought she hadn't noticed but she wanted to give a run for his money. She wanted to see if he would rat her out when she broke into Cyclops room. But in reality she didn't give a care in the world because they wouldn't dare lose the off-spring of a modified mutant and let them expel her. Yes, her stay at the mansion would be very interesting.
