Chapter 2:

*SOOOOOOOBs*-! The bright exuberant Kurt that was ready to put his painful heartbreak aside in order to aide in the mutant rescue, was now back to being a complete wreck!

"PARIS, FRANCE!?- *sniff* PARIS!? THE CITY OF LOVE?- ON VALENTINE'S DAY!?- *sniff* WHY PROFESSOR!?-WHY!? *SOOOOOOOOB* As he continued crying, Kurt swung his arms around Kitty who tried her best to comfort him by patting the poor thing's back as she hugged him. "Ahem, well-…Good luck everyone…I'll see you all back at the mansion." The Professor said through the intercom for the jet as everyone else looked away from Kurt's cries in an awkward state, accept for Rogue who was just annoyed. "Great!- I could'a spent my Valentine's Day readin' up on the newest 'Gothic Romance', but now I've gotta' spend it in Paris with the 'Big Blue Crybaby,…-" as she pointed her hand towards Kurt, "…And Pepe' Le Pew here!" Rogue shouted in annoyance as she looked towards her left to find Gambit kissing her up and down her sleeve covered arm.

Storm just mumbled under her breath with the expression of an exhausted mother of six, "The worst part; is that it's already Valentine's day there." She muttered. "Look kid! I know you're sad, but can we please focus here? We've got a mutant to save." Logan said gruffly. Jean, Scott and Kitty looked at each other feeling sorry for poor Kurt, but understood that their instructor was right. Kurt's emotions would have to be put aside, so that they could do their job.

At Cathedral in Paris…

The mob of men were walking around the outside of the Church, for it was the last place anyone had seen the beast. It was dark and many of them wanted to leave, but others were determined to find and destroy the night monster, and end it's rein of terror. "Any sign of it yet?" asked one of the men. "No, not yet." Suddenly, *BANG* "Who's there!" Shouted the other man. The mob ran towards the sound only to be faced be something, [or someone], that had struck fear into their very souls, while a shadowed figure settled on top of the Cathedral terrified by the men's screaming. It crawled back into a window and remained there; feeling as though the sanctuary was the only safe place in the world.

In the heart of Paris…

Our heroes are gathered in the town square of the large and whimsical city. The streets were filled with people handing out rose bouquets, and there were Valentine's day decorations everywhere! It was such a romantic sight to take in, but unfortunately there were two downsides to this majesty; one: Kurt was still a whining, sniveling mess-of-depression, and two: the X-men had no time to indulge in the festivities. This was not a vacation, it was serious business, and they needed to get to work now. [of course it probably wouldn't stop some of them from turning it into a vacation].

"Alright, I understand…Okay. The Professor says that he lost the signal with the mob chasing Anya. We have to find her fast, so everyone split up. Logan you and I should search east, Jean and Scott you search west, Kitty you and Kurt search around the-…" Storm was suddenly cut off by Kurt. "Um Storm…*sniff* maybe we should search the Cathedrals, that's where I would have hid when being chased by an angry mob. It made me feel like I'd found my sanctuary." Kurt said finally dropping his sad pathetic weeping and actually giving the team some useful information, Even if he did look at sappy little hopeless romantic hugging himself during that last part.

"Hmm…That's, actually pretty helpful Kurt. Alright then, everyone search all the nearest Cathedrals but just in case; Rogue and Gambit, you both try and get some information for the locals and report anything useful enough to go on." Rogue's eyes got wide and filled with dread after Storm had said that. All the while The smug and sly ex-thief had his face forward, but his eyes rolled to the side towards the astonished belle, with a mischievous grin plastered on his face, like he was expecting this to happen.

"Uuuh, Storm, ya' sure that I can't just tag along with Kitty and Kurt?" Rogue asked looking worried. "Well Rogue, you could but-…" Storm got cut off again, "Hey look at those hedges, they look just like hearts!" Squealed Kitty. "WAAAAAAAAAAH!-…Kurt cried. Rogue, Gambit, Storm and everyone else just stared half eyes-closed, with uncaring faces at Kurt's misery, as Kitty said, "Kurt please, find your happy place!" Rogue turned to Storm in defeat, "Never mind, I'll go with Gambit." Storm handed Rogue and Gambit a communicator, "When you find out something, just let me know,…" then she began handing out communicators to everyone, … "Remember; we don't know who these mutants are that are after Anya, so be careful, and only engage in battle if it is absolutely necessary." Everyone agreed and began to fan out.

…

With Gambit and Rogue…

In the Paris streets; everyone is indulging in the beauty of the most passionate country in the world, on the most passionate day of the year. Rogue watched people reminiscing and being prosperous; listening to the sound of accordions playing and the laughter of various couples, while Remy was busy talking with a local girl in French. He was asking her about strange occurrences, and if she new anything about a demonic creature lurking around town. Rogue wasn't really paying any mind to it until she heard the Cajun say

"Au'revoir", she rose from her seat and walked towards her partner.

"So what'd ya' find out?" Rogue asked. "Well, the girl is considered some kinda legend, five people say she lives in the 'Notre Dame Cathedral'. Rogue whipped out her communicator and immediately contacted Storm.

With Storm and Logan…

They were searching inside of a Church on the other side of town. "I guess this ones crossed off the list." Logan said as he brushed off his shoulders, ridding his suit of all the dust and cobwebs from the abandoned sanction. Storm stopped looking and walked back outside the Church, then her communicator began to beep and she answered. "Storm here." She said. "Storm, we've got a lead, some of the locals say that she maybe at the 'Notre Dame Cathedral'." Storm and Logan glanced at each other for a moment realizing how quickly the two southerners had completed their task.

"That's great Rogue, I'll contact the others and let them know where to go, you guys get there as soon as you can." Rogue was about to respond when Gambit took the device,

"Actually Storm, I think we should get a little more time to ask around, we've been told the girl is seen as some kinda legend, maybe we should get a little more information, just to be prepared for whatever she can toss our way." Storm had a skeptical look on her face. She knew that the silver-tongued liar just wanted to goof off with Rogue for Valentine's Day, therefore she sighed and clenched her eyebrows.

"Gambit, I don't think that-…" Suddenly Storm was cut of by Logan sniffing the air and making a defensive snarl as he bought out his claws. Storm knew that must mean something was wrong, "…I'll call you back." then she hung up." Gambit turned off the communicator and said, "Well Cherie, looks like the night is ours." Rogue got any angry look on her face. "Darn it Gambit! We're on a mission, we can't go around lollygaggin' when there's a mutant in trouble!" The charming Cajun simply smiled and took the angered belle by the gloved hand and pulled her across his way, spun her and let her fall on his other strong muscular arm with a hand on her waist.

"Ma' Cherie, we're in Paris. The most romantic city in the world, and on Valentine's Day no less-", He held out his other arm gesturing to the beautiful lit-up city behind him. "Wouldn't you like to use this time to indulge yourself such in the scenery?" Rogue was very persuaded by the soothing tempting voice, handsome face, and gorgeous red eyes with black sclera, but she was still weary about ditching their mission for a date.

"I-, I don't know…" Gambit lifted her up to her feet once again holding her by the hand. A man passing out free red roses walked by as Remy casually picked one and got on a knee presented the rose all romantically. Rogue's reluctant expression turned to the same hypnotized look she got when she had met the handsome charmer fighting the Acolytes, she reached for the rose and accepted it graciously. "Okay then how's 'bout this then, We'll keep askin' round fo' imfo'mation, at the same time we'll have ourselves the most romantic evening eva', oui?" Rogue blushed profusely and pondered for a bit. She looked left and right, then back at her beautiful rose and took a sniff. It smelled sweet and lovely. She smiled and looked at Remy with a brighter blush and an astonished stare cause he was kissing the back of her hand [again]. She looked for every reason to protest against this notion, "We'll really ask around for answers too, like we're suppose ta'" Gambit swung his free hand to his chest in a bowing motion, "You have my world as a gentleman Cherie." Rogue really knew that she shouldn't have, but after a moment, she sighed and finally said, "Alright, fine, but only cause ya' seem so desperate." She said as the began to walk off into the direction of the moon-lit sky and the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
