Chapter Seven
Scott pounded on their door early in the morning,long before Wanda or John were ready to be up. Groaning,Wanda stumbled to the front door,she had barely opened it when he pushed past her,saying " Okay this has gotten beyond ridiculous I'm here to collect Rogue! I know she thinks that she's fine,but she isn't,she's living with a bunch of criminals and ignoring her friends."
Wanda crosses her arms as he talks before stating herself." First of all,this is MY house,you can't just walk in. Secondly,Rogue is an adult,who is more than capable of making her own choices. Also, Did it ever occur to you to not slander your host! Unwilling host as I am,I refuse to sit here and listen to what a horrible person I am,or what horrible people the guys are. You don't know anything about just make assumptions BESIDES! She's not even here! Now get out of my house before I hex you into next year!"
Scott sputtered in shock over her outburst,as John came out of the bedroom,lighter out, and Wade burst through the front door,with his swords drawn. Wanda was still glaring,and seriously considering hexing the idiot who decided to wake her for for his stupid rant. Scott seemed unaffected by the threats from three sides. He was convinced that somehow they were keeping Rogue here against her will. Why would she want to be here,when she could be at the mansion with her real friends ?
Wade says " WHAT IS IT? ARE THE NINJAS ATTACKING ?! THE NINJAS ARE ATTACKING AREN'T THEY? IT'S OKAY YOU CAN TELL ME THE TRUTH!"
Wanda calmly replies " No Wade,there aren't any ninjas,just this idiot who's trying to start trouble."
"Is this the idiot who's trying to break up the Romy?" Wade whispers in a voice loud enough for the entire room to hear. Wanda nods and Wade turns to Scott.
" YOU! Why do you want to ruin everything! Do you have any idea how hard I had to work to get them together?! They BELONG together! Isn't bad enough that the writers destroyed them in the comic-verse, or that they paired her with BOBBY in the movie-verse?! Now you want to destroy this universe as well! I won't allow it. Go get out, find yourself your comic-verse blond and destroy your own life. Stay out of everyone else's'!." Wade continues to mutter as he walks into the kitchen, about various 'crimes' against his favorite couple.
"...Did you understand any of that?" Scott questions.
" No. Most of the time he's like that,it's best just to nod and stay out of his way." John replies, while Wanda continues to glare.
Scott nods and turns to leave. Neither Remy or Rogue had emerged from the bedrooms during the outburst, therefore they must still be gone. Wanda is even more livid as he leaves. How dare he wake her,bust into her home,accuse her and her friends of being thugs,and then just leave with out even the slightest hint of an apology.
John,realizing she was getting angrier by the minute,does the first thing he can think of...he sets the curtains on fire. " JOHN!" Wanda yells,as she puts out the fire. "What have I said about lighting fires in the house?!"
" Only burn my own things,and don't get myself killed." John states as he walks into the kitchen. She was pissed at him now,but she'd calm down a lot faster then if he had left her to stew about Mr Stick-Up-His-Butt.
" Wade how'd ya like to play a game?" John asks Wade,who was staring at the coffee pot.
~Meanwhile~
After flying back to their car, Remy and Rogue decide it's time to head home. They plan on just stopping where ever they feel like instead of having any real destination.
A couple of hours later,they stop for the night in a dingy roadside motel. Remy,feeling they have overused his alias,making it far to easy for Logan to track, has them check in under " Anna Raven" plus one. After they get to their room,which is tiny and worn, but clean, they order a pizza and decide to watch TV for awhile.
They decide against attempting any movies,thanks to their last attempt, but find a rerun of Rogue's favorite Zombie show on. The pizza arrives halfway through,and Rogue hushes them without looking away from the tv. Remy shrugs as he tips the Deliveryman, and sits back down next to her,handing her a soda.
" You want any pizza,or do you want to wait until your show's over?" Remy asks,while trying to hug her. She shrugs off his arm while grabbing a slice and hushes him. Chuckling at his future wife,Remy decides to take a shower.
She finally notices he's no longer in the room,during a commercial break, he comes back out just as she notices. "... I'm sorry I was ignoring you." She says.
" Tha's okay. I know how it is,and you haven't been able to watch in a few weeks." Remy says as he pulls his shirt back on. He comes over and grabs another slice of pizza, cuddling up to her before the commercial is over.
After the show,they decide to head to bed, wanting to set out early the next morning. Despite there being two beds in the room,they decide to share,they've gotten used to sleeping next to each other during their vacation. Neither really notice the irony as being in bed together was why they ran off to begin with.
~meanwhile~
"Video games will burn out your brains and dig right into your skull! You don't believe me, John do you know what one plus one million times three is? NO YOU DON'T BECAUSE VIDEO GAMES HAVE BURNED OUT YOUR SKULL AND OR BRAIN! LISTEN TO ME JOHN THERE IS THERE VERY LITTLE TIME! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! SPEAKING OF VIDEO GAMES DO YOU HAVE STILL HAVE THE PS2? Because I would love to borrow it. HEY IS THAT A RABBIT! LOOK AT THE PICTURE OVER THERE IS THAT A RABBIT? ANYWAYS YOUR BRAIN IS DEAD! HOW WILL YOU EVER LEARN HOW TO LOVE IF YOUR BRAIN IS BURNED OUT? THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO HELP THE ORPHANS IN AFRICA! I L-OVE YOU GUYS YOUR THE BEST FRIENDS A GUY COULD ASK FOR! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR OFF THE HOOK MISTER." Wade had thrown down the controller and was pacing back and forth in front of the television. He had lost the third game in a row. John was just glad he hadn't decided to punish the game like he did the toaster.
" umm, Wade, I know it sucks,but it's just a game. AND I've played a lot more then you." John replies. Wade flops back down on the couch,and picks back up the controller.
" I'M TELLING YOU THIS GAME IS DESTROYING YOUR LIFE! Games are evil they distract you from the real world. Then the next thing you know everything's screwed up. You haven't paid your rent in like four months,your girlfriend moved out, the food in the fridge is gone bad,the restaurant on the corner no longer sells chimichangas, your shows have been canceled. You haven't taken a job in so long people are starting to think you're dead. BEA AURTHER has died! DIED!oh my god,Bea died!How can I go on with out her?HEY is anyone else hungry?! let's go get some 's this great place right around the corner that sells the best Chimichangas HEY WANDA! You wanta come to lunch with us? WE'RE GETTING CHIMICHANGAS! Hey were's Wanda? I thought she was right here when we sat down. How long have we been playing anyway?! Holy Crap! It's Tuesday! We've been playing for an entire day! I wonder if Wanda went to get us some food? I hope she gets some Tacos. I love Tacos. What were we talking about?Hey where'd you get that rabbit picture anyway? That painting is totally awesome! Why is the rabbit wearing clothes? Who dresses a rabbit? Did you torture that poor creature with clothing? WHY DID YOU DO THAT!"
Before Wade could work himself up into some weird animal cruelty rant,John stated " Piotr PAINTED it. It's Peter Rabbit...from the children's story. Wanda's out getting us all some burgers and we've only been playing about four hours."
" Oh okay then,I hope she grabs some onion rings,oh!oh! and a chocolate shake. I would marry her if she gets me a chocolate shake!" Wade begins.
"...I"M marrying her,I already asked her." John replies,turning back to the game.
Before Wade could respond again,Wanda came back in, with their food including the chocolate shakes The guys had asked for when she left. Wade wraps her into a huge hug. But before John could react,Wanda hexed , shrugging Wade grabbed his food and sat back down. The couple shrug again begin eating as well.
~ A couple days later~
Remy and Rogue finally arrive home, in the middle of the night. They decide to just head to bed,and worry about telling everyone they're home in the quietly as possible they sneak into their room...and stop in horror.
All of their things are gone. Even Rogue's bed. Remy's mattress is on the floor in the corner,but it looks suspiciously lumpy... Who would have done this? Maybe they didn't live here anymore? Rogue walks back out front. No all of their things were out there, including photographs of the four of them and the painting Piotr had given them as a house-warming present.
They go back to their room, where Remy pulls out his staff,and cautiously pokes his mattress,while Rogue prepares to run. When it doesn't move or squeak, they move closer to look at it. Someone had cut it open, stuffed it with something,and then stitched it closed.
Cautiously, Remy pulled it flat. it still didn't make any noises or anything. Shrugging Remy decides to sit on it... and the worst smell they had ever encountered spills from it. Jumping back up,Remy holds his nose,while Rogue rushes to open the window.
She then leans over it,and gently slices the stitches with the pocket knife she took out of Remy's pocket. She reaches in,and pulls out the first rotten had painted two dozen eggs, a goldish color, and sewn them into Remy's mattress! Remy's trying to decide if it was Wade or John who had done this,when Wanda and John come into the room,holding their noses.
" What is that smell?!" Wanda demands,seeing their room mates are home.
" Spoiled Eggs. Someone put them inside Remy's bed." Rogue says,suspiciously.
" That's what he put in there?! He could've warned us." John yells.
" Who?" Rogue questions. "Wade." The other three reply.
" What?" inquires Wade behind them. Nobody jumps this time,they have all grown accustomed to him just walking in.
" Why did you put a bunch of eggs in my bed?" Remy demands.
" Because you taped over my Golden Girls marathon! It was an injustice that could not be ignored! How was the vacation by the way? Did Logan ever catch up to you,I know he was trying to." Wade states.
" You taped over my poker tournament and Rogue's zombie show! Your show was revenge. You don't get revenge on a revenge. That's just stupid." Remy states.
" Where'd you put all our stuff?" Rogue interrupts.
" That wasn't me...was it?" Wade replies looking over at the other couple.
" No that was us. We got rid of everything you own! You LEFT us with Kitty. Kitty making food. You didn't even try to save us." Wanda states.
" When Kitty cooks,it's every man for himself. Everyone knows that Wanda." Rogue says.
" Yes but then you ran away. I had to deal with Kitty,Scott,and Logan! I swear I kept waiting for Logan to piss on the floor or something. Then he left,and everything was okay again. Then a few days ago Scott came back. He wanted to die. I know he did cause he wouldn't shut up. He almost did too." Wanda rants.
John pulls out his lighter,prepared to burn Remy's mattress if Wanda gets up set again. Wanda is now glaring at the southerners,who are freaking out over losing everything they enjoying the show for a few minutes,Wanda hands them the key before they annoy her,saying " Your crap's in the storage in the basement. Have fun." Before heading out of the room,calling for John to follow her. Wade shrugs and offers to help them grab their things. It took them about three hours to get everything back upstairs,unpacked and put away. They decided to leave Remy's bed frame for now. It was late,and he wouldn't be using it anyway. Wade even offers to help Remy carry out the ruined mattress,revenge over,he was no longer mad at all.
