Hey fans! OMG your probably thinking where the hell has she been? I need my update! Well let me just give a huge I'm sorry, but my math teacher hates me, so he feels the need to give fifty problems a night, and then I had this killer routine I had to do and no matter how much I practiced I still didn't do to well on it. But hopefully I'm back, but keep in mind I have like five stories going at the moment, so patience please, and as always forgive me for my terrible spelling. Anyway, please read and enjoy.
Gambit was having a good dream that is until he was rather painfully kicked in the stomach over and over again.
Slowly opening his eyes, rather wishing he hadn't, a sudden bright light blinded him momentarily but once his eyes adjusted to the light he found his gigantic Russian friend standing over him.
"What y be doin mon amie?" Gambit said, his mouth unusually dry.
"Making sure you're alive," Piotr said offering his hand to Gambit.
"When someone be breathin dey alive," Gambit stated as he stood, "damn my head hurts, how'd I get back home."
"That girl brought you."
"What girl?" Gambit asked eyeing his friend.
"The creepy one figured it was her that knocked you out but I didn't think she was so strong."
Gambit smirked as his memory suddenly came back to him, he wasn't sure whether he should smile in triumph or hit himself for being so stupid, "Non, she had my strength for awhile, but sure it be gone by now."
"So why did she knock you out?" Piotr asked taking a seat on the expensive leather coach, "Mags said not to start any trouble until were done with training."
"She didn knock moi out, it was more like I wanted to be knocked out, I kissed her mon amie."
Piotr's eyes suddenly became wide with shock before they clouded with worry, "You better not let Mags find out about this, he'll kill you Gambit."
Gambit suddenly began laughing causing his friend more distress as he began to walk towards the door, "Don worry bout moi Tin Man, if I dared disobey my family to be wit her Mags is jus a walk in de park."

Kitty had just gotten out of a long hot bath and was lying flat out on her back in a pair of shorts and a tank top as she concluded she was traumatized for life. The little game of dodge ball had become a matter of life or death at some point when Jean decided to start playing nasty, which meant that Scott and the others on her team followed her lead. As much as Logan enjoyed it Kitty had hated it, especially since she had been the last one on the field for her team.
She moaned as she turned over a turned on the small radio that was lying on her night stand. It didn't help calm her nerves at all; she just couldn't stop worrying about where Rogue could have gone. Logan had inquired a few more times over the day but no one knew where she was and it wasn't like Rogue to do something like this, which made Kitty unbelievably suspicious of Gambit.
"Should I like call her," Kitty asked herself as she picked up her cell phone and debated about dialing the older girls number.
Well she was going to, until the phone in her hand began ringing and she picked it up.
"Kitty Pyrde here," she said very cheerfully hoping it was either Rogue or her parents, but it was neither.
"Kitty!" said a voice that almost made Kitty drop the phone.
"Lance!" Kitty hissed snapping up into a sitting position, "Like what the hell are you doing! I told you to never…"
"Kitty shut up a second," Lance demanded rather harshly, "I want you to get out of that mansion! Steal a car or something and get out of there right now!"
Kitty was silent a moment as she tried to absorb what he was saying, "Like what are you talking about Lance! I'm not going anywhere!"
"Kitty please…"
"Goodbye Lance!" Kitty cried taking the phone from her ear and slamming on the off button.
Taking in a staggered breath she glared at the phone a moment before slamming it into the wall, at almost the exact same moment the entire mansion started shake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do you know how sexy you are when you get into commando mode?" Scott asked in-between his kisses down Jean's neck.
They were in her room, a major violation of the rules, which Scott didn't like, but considering the beautiful red head on lying right on top of him in nothing but her underwear there was now way he was leaving.
"I think you've mention that once or twice before," Jean said as she pulled her hands out of his soft hair and moved so she could look directly into his eyes, "how sexy will I be when the Professor makes me team leader?"
Scott smiled but disagreed, "I think he plans on giving me that position sweetie."
Jean knew he was right but still it was well known that soon there would be two teams and the Professor was going to give it to Jean or Rogue. "For now maybe, but soon I'll have a team of my own and we'll kick your asses."
"How do you plan to do that?" Scott asked before he was suddenly silenced by her lingering hands. "You win."
"See…" Jean began before she was interrupted by a loud crashing sound followed by the entire house shaking. She almost fell to the floor but Scott wrapped his arms around her to break her fall.
"What the hell is going on?" Scott yelled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lance was standing directly outside the gate of the mansion as he used all his strength, more so than he had at the school, to shake the foundation. He was trying his best to control it enough to not hit the left side of the house where the girls dorm was but once he started there was no way he could hold back. He had called Kitty secretly and warned her, he had tried, but she wouldn't listen and he had a job to do.
Using his free hand he moved it to his ear and clicked the on button for his transmitter and immediately heard Tabitha's voice as she and Toad were having a conversation.
"Hey!" Lance hollered, "What the hell are you doing Tabitha? Where are my explosives?"
He knew he heard her say, "Oh yeah," but he just ignored it, her stupidity wasn't something he wanted to deal with right now and was happy to see two little glowing balls rolling across the lawn. It didn't take long till they exploded and made a two large holes right where their security system guns were located.
"Alright Toad," Lance said, "Climb over the fence."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Kitty made it downstairs there was already a group of terrified students as the explosives took out half the front yard. She saw Logan and Storm already organizing people into groups and giving orders but neither of the senior students was around.
"There you are Pip Squeak," Logan said pointing right to her, "I want you to take Bobbie and Amara and go out there with full force, I'm sending the other team round back to take out Speed Boy and The Hulk, I want you to get that nasty thing headed towards our house."
Though Kitty was trembling somewhat that same rush of adrenalin that she had felt at the school began warming her blood.
"Alright," Kitty said turning to a wide eyes Bobbie and Amara as Logan and Storm left with their group, "Here's what were going to do, Bobbie first thing your going to do is make us a wall of ice just so we can see where the Brotherhood are, then your going to stay there and keep in safe so they can't reach the school, that's the first part of the plan, you guys ready?"
Both younger students nodded but she could see the looks of worry on their faces. Smiling Kitty flipped back a piece of her hair and said, "Don't sweat it, just keep yourself on your feet and you'll be fine, now let's like totally do this."
Gulping Bobbie turned to the door along with Amara who threw open both the large doors and just as Kitty said Bobbie quickly began shooting out Ice and built a barrio for the three of them, which was immediately hit with ball after ball of energy. Just as they made the slightest dent Bobbie immediately had it covered and no matter how many the blonde who was standing about three feet from the wall tried to throw Bobbie was just to quick.
"Good!" Kitty cried taking Amara's hand and crouching near the lower half of their wall, it was hard to see but Kitty couldn't miss the moving slimy body hopping across the yard. Only trouble was she had no idea where Lance was, the gate was open but he was nowhere in sight.
"Alright Amara," Kitty said looking into the younger girls wide brown eyes, "I'm going to phase us through, Tabitha is too distracted so she won't bother us but keep your guard up just in case, and then I want you to go after Toad, turn yourself into that cool fiery stuff and fight him, I've seen your combat skills and there awesome, plus he won't be able to touch you, so just keep him from jumping into the mansion," at that point Kitty took Amara's hand and without hesitating they both phased through the ice wall and onto the now trashed lawn.
Kitty let go of Amara's hand and immediately tried to reach for it again as she ran off without changing into her fire form.
"Wait!" Kitty cried suddenly becoming terrified, "You'll get hurt?" But it was too late Amara was already gone.
Kitty was about to run for her when the ground below her suddenly shifted and she lost her balance falling with a thump.
Though it didn't hurt Kitty cried out in pain and let a few tears slip down her cheeks. It didn't take more than a second before she felt a strong hand on her shoulder just as she suspected.
" Oh god Kitty are you o.k?" Lance cried crouching beside her.
"My ankle," Kitty choked as rolled onto her back.
"Let me see," Lance said moving his hand to her foot and moving his face closer to examine it, "Well it's not broken…" Lance began when he was interrupted by Kitty's foot slamming right into his face.
As quickly as she could Kitty stood on her feet, having to phase through a few large chips of ice that almost smashed her face, "Your so gullible," Kitty exclaimed wiping away a few of the fake tears that blurred her vision.
"Obviously," Lance hissed taking his throbbing chin in his hand as he too stood, "I told you to get out of here but you just wouldn't listen to me!"
Kitty was about to remark when Lance raised his free hand and a pile of dirt suddenly flew forward into her face and she couldn't see a thing. Coughing Kitty fell to the ground and starting rubbing her eyes, but before she could recover those two strong hands of his gripped the front of her short and the next thing Kitty knew she was being lifted off the ground till she was eye level with Lance.
"I asked you and you just hung up on me! Like the last five hundred times I've called you!" Lance hollered trying his best not to look directly into her eyes, still he couldn't help but think of how beautiful she was, even when she was covered from head to tow in dirt, "Well if you be a good little kitty and tell me where the Professor and that mad scientist of his have their machine I promise to leave without hurting anyone."
Kitty was still coughing frantically and couldn't respond, she had no idea what he was talking about, but even if she did there was no way she would answer him.
"Common Kitty!" Lance cried again shaking her, "Tell me where it is!"
But Kitty was still silent and Lance was about to something before a southern voice broke the silence, "Actually ah dink dat ah can answer dat for ya."
Next thing Lance knew a good amount of force, not enough to hurt him but enough to knock him off his balance, crashed into his side and he suddenly dropped Kitty and fell to the ground.
"Can ya see it yet?" Rogue asked sarcastically with a smirk, if Lance hadn't been trying to recover he would've seen her eyes glowing red in the dark but next thing he knew two rather determined X-Girls charged right for him.
