Stag Party…Need I say more. I do not own these characters.

The first wedding that had taken place to the inhabitants of the institute was to take place in two days. This meant that the stag parties were to take place that very evening. Rogue had insisted that the bachelor festivities had to be done several days before the wedding so that all attendees were sober for her day. The wedding shower was to take place that morning.

The men, except for Professor Xavier, had taken off early that morning in the Velocity helicopter. Vegas was calling their names.

The shower was coming off interestingly. All the X-women were in attendance plus other famous super ladies. Sue Richards was there, and even though Reed and Ben Grimm had to be at the office and could not go with the guys Johnny Storm swore he was going to have enough fun for the both of them. Mary Jane Watson was there as well. Peter was with the other guys reeking havoc on Sin City.

The ladies had brought decent gifts for the soon to be wed couple. All in all it was a good party. Psylocke was the first to say what few were thinking. "Alright when are the strippers getting here?"

"Uh Betsy we didn't hire any strippers. Some of us are under age. Besides aren't you and Warren together." Kitty told the other woman.

"Yes love, but just because I'm taken doesn't mean I can't still look." Betsy told her friend.

Jean took Betsy aside out of anyone else's earshot. "We're taking Rogue out later. Don't tell anyone under the age of eighteen because they aren't allowed to come."

"Gotcha' love." Betsy said winking.

Jean went back to hosting the bridal shower and decided it was time to start opening gifts.

The first gifts were pretty generic. There was the unoriginal clocks and stationary. A wedding album and so on. Then the rather racy gifts were given. A bullwhip (to keep him in line, the card read) and several other things that aren't fit for words.

"Thank you all. This was really nice. I'm glad you could all come." Rogue told her guests.

"Hold on Rogue there's another gift." Jean told the bride to be.

Rogue took the package and grew curious. "Whose gift is this?"

Nobody said anything so she ripped open the box and revealed a small flesh colored patch. Again she asked curiously, "Whose gift is this? What is this?"

Sue Richards immediately raised her hand. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything before, but I wanted you to open it. It's from Reed and me. It's a power negator. When Forge came to work with us a few months ago he informed us that you were getting married. We knew about your power and the limitations it caused we started brainstorming. It will cause your powers to "shut off" and over time will help you learn to control your powers."

Rogue was speechless. She did manage to ask, "How does it work?"

Sue answered, "Just put it on. It will stick easily every time you put it on and it's seamless. It's also waterproof, bulletproof, and well it's pretty much indestructible. Do you like?"

Rogue could hardly get her words out. "Are you kidding? I love it. It is like the greatest gift I have ever received."

Meanwhile in Las Vegas the guys were having a less than wild time. Remy and the of age men were sitting in a bar with Kurt. All were drinking even Kurt who was only just seventeen. The rationale for letting Kurt come along for the party was that he was pretty upset over the wedding and if he was included in the fun then he might lighten up.

Drinking was not apart of that plan, but it was taking place without anyone noticing.

Logan was the first to make any arguments. "Elf you know you aren't even close to being of age to drink. "

Kurt's speech was slightly slurred, "You shouldn't be talking Logan. You drink all the time."

"The difference is that I can't get drunk because of the old healing factor. So I think I'm going to officially cut you off." Logan told his student.

Remy was ready to defend his soon to be brother-in-law. "Hey Logan lighten up. This is a bachelor party."

Kurt didn't want Remy's help. "Don't do me any favors, Bitch."

Logan laughed. "Never mind. He's a funny drunk."

Scott and Warren had started up a game of pool. Several guys were involved in a poker game, which Remy was itching to enter. It was a pretty tame bachelor party. Then trouble walked into the bar. Two big guys walked over to Scott and Warren's pool table.

The biggest guy looked like he wouldn't be able to string two words together, but through some miracle of evolution he said, "This is our table. Move it."

Warren was cocky and wasn't willing to take the man's crap. "Look we'll be done in a few minutes and then the table is all yours. So why don't you and your boyfriend go get a cosmopolitan or something and wait it out." Obviously Warren had one too many.

The biggest man started to take a swing at Warren and Scott let loose with a low beam. Then all hell broke loose as one of the losers yelled, "Their mutants. Get them."

A huge bar brawl took place over thirty minutes, until the police showed up. Unfortunately they didn't like mutants that well either. Before Remy's bachelor party had even gotten into full swing the entire guest list was sitting in a holding cell.

Scott was the first to speak to the others. "Congratulations Remy. If this is any comment on your future your marriage out to be interesting."

Remy punched him in the arm. "Shut up man."

A police officer appeared. "Who's the groom again?" Remy stood and walked to the door. "You get one phone call."

Remy gulped and knew his only chance was to call Rogue. That scared him beyond anything else. She had strictly told him not to drink too much, not to fight, and that he had to be back before the next afternoon for their rehearsal dinner. She was going to love this.

He dialed the number of the mansion. It rang twice before Kitty picked up. "Hello Kitty," Remy said after she had greeted him. "I really need you to put Rogue on the phone."
She told him to hold for a moment. Rogue answered a few seconds later. "Hey Remy guess what."

"No time for guessing chere. You're not going to like this, but I need you to bail us out of jail. In Nevada."

Rogue was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll be there as soon as I can."

Remy went back to the cell feeling distinctly uneasy. She had sounded far too controlled not to be angry. Logan was the first to ask questions. "Well is someone coming for us?"

Remy gulped, "Yes. Rogue is on her way. Dear God she is coming to bail us out of jail."

All the men in the cell suddenly had ashen looks on their faces. Logan was the only one able to speak. "We're screwed. She'll be out for our blood for getting arrested this soon before the wedding."

The other men in the cell just nodded in a defeated way.

Rogue hung the phone up after speaking to her fiancé and went back to her party. Rounding up her teammates she told them of the fates of the men in Las Vegas. Jean was gaping at the misfortune. Kitty thought it was a good moment to ask, "Rogue did you tell Remy about the power negator?"

"No. I was going to, but after the phone call I think I'm just going to screw with him a little." Rogue told all of her friends.

In jail only two days before his wedding. That Remy is smooth huh. Find out how Rogue plans on screwing with him in the next chapter.
