Chapter Fifteen: Tribulations
Rogue was leaning up against the metal wall of the control room; she and Magneto were watching her teammates attempt to break in to a hologram of a government base. It was a training exercise, the third of the day. Their mission was to steal some Intel, and maybe a proto type of what ever they were building in there.
Rogue cringed slightly when Colossus used his metal fists to take down a wall. "They do realize that no one is supposed ta know they're in thea, right?"
"I did tell them that, but the others were never ones for finesse, that was Gambit's job." Magneto said, his eyes flashing dangerously.
That was one of the many reasons why they were failing the training session so miserable, Gambit had neglected to show up that morning. Magneto had been livid, especial when no one could find him on the base. Apparently he hadn't come back last night. Magneto had been very tempted to send Sabertooth out after him, but after it had been pointed out that Sabertooth would most likely kill Gambit if he found him, he had decided to punish the rest of the team by training the remaining team even harder.
That was four hours ago. Rogue was almost starting to feel bad for the others- almost. Magneto had determined that Rogue would be of more use critiquing the rest of her teammates than actually participating, and for Rogue, it was the first time she had ever agreed with the Master of Magnetism.
Rogue glanced down to see Pyro starting up his flame thrower attempting to barbeque the guards that had come swarming down on them since Colossus's noisy entrance. Pietro was running around like a manic yelling at them that they were doing it wrong.
"Gawd, this is just sad, ah think ya should just terminate tha session. They cain't salvage this."
"No, I doubt they could," he said, pressing a few buttons that caused the base to shimmer out of existence. The boys below turned there head towards the control room, steeling themselves for the lecture they were about to get.
"Go, just go." He said in defeat. "They will never learn, will they?" He asked of her as the boys were filing out of the training room.
Shaking her head slightly, "Hey Mags, ah was wondering what ya was gonna do 'bout tha X-freaks?" He just looked at her questionly, "Ah mean, if ya are evah gonna battle 'em again, thea is nuthin' stoppin' Xavier from lookin' inta their heads an' findin' out 'bout meh."
"Yes, that is a problem." He said sitting down. "I could always call in Mastermind again, but he is best at rewriting memories, not protecting them. We need a telepath for that and an exceptionally strong one too…" he said, as he lapsed into a thoughtful silence.
Rogue smirked suddenly, her eyes gleaming strangely, "Ah know just tha one."

The corridor was swimming in and out of focus, all he really wanted to do was just pass out, but Piotr had said something about the boss man being angry with him. He paused slightly as he came to a fork in the hallways. Staring down one hall, and then the other, he shrugged and took the left one. Groaning, he lifted his hand to his head, staggered down the corrider, stopping in front of a metal door.
"Time fo' Remy t' face de musique" (music) Remy stated, knocking on the metal door.
It opened too loudly for Remy's liking, but he managed to prevent himself from wincing. He stumbled over to the nearest chair, and just glared up at his boss.
"So Gambit, you finally decided to join us." Remy mumbled something completely incoherent; Magneto ignored him and continued on. "Due to your tardiness, you missed this morning's training session… Well what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Remy dinks dat if y' don stop yellin' den Remy gonna have t' blow y' up." Remy could feel the anger coursing through Magneto, and winced slightly, knowing it was all directed at him. Closing his eyes, he projected a calming sensation towards Magneto, feeling the anger ebb away. Smirking to himself, he opened his eyes, and looked around.
"Merde," he said, noticing for the first time he wasn't alone. Rogue was sitting at the table, rolls of various different blue prints in front of her, she quirked an eyebrow glancing from him to Magneto.
"Late Night?" she asked innocently, smirking at him.
He smiled uneasily back before turning his attention back to Magneto, who seemed to have calmed down. "Gambit, I need you to go on a mission tonight, with Rogue."
"Wha!" Rogue screamed, causing Remy to groan and cradle his head in his hands.
"Not so loud chere."
She glared at him before purposely raising her voice a few levels, "Ah don't need his help, ah can do this on mah own!"
"Rogue, you know as well as I that this is a two person job, and Gambit is the only other one suited for the job."
Rogue glared Magneto, obviously not wanting to admit he was right.
"So, wha is Remy going t' steal?"
Magneto grinned sadistically before answering, "Not what Gambit- who."
