gambit-rogue - Thanks for the review! No, I wouldn't say that Mags was a hero but it was the fact that Remy, John and Piotr were also returning to the base and that. Hope you enjoy the next 2 chapters. Please don't cry at the end of chapter 14!

Chapter 13 - Against the Ethos

The Acolytes stood perfectly still, immobilized with shock. Remy was sure that his thought processes were all muddled, or this was a dream, a really bad dream. No, it was worse. It was a nightmare.

Magneto cleared his throat. "Aren't you going to welcome me home?" All three men shook themselves.

"Welcome back Boss," John said, leaping forward to encase the older man in a bear hug. Magneto looked shocked and roughly pushed him back.

"Yes, welcome home, Comrade," Piotr said, but Remy could sense how scared the Russian was.

"Glad y back, Mags," Remy said, concealing his disappointment well. "But how are y here? I thought…"

"You don't need to know. But now that I'm back, I can carry on my plans for mutant superiority." Magneto studied the men again, sweeping the room with his cold eyes, as cold as his heart, "But there is something we have to eliminate first and what is that, my Acolytes?"

The three men looked at each other and shrugged.

"The Xmen!" Magneto shouted, and the guys jumped as several metal objects crushed in on themselves.

"They are always getting in the way, ruining my plans. Well, no more. We will rid ourselves of them once and for all!"

"Mags, are y seriously suggesting we kill de Xmen?" Remy queried, his face losing colour by the second.

"Why, of course,"

"But Comrade," Piotr intercepted, "That's going completely against our ethos on mutant superiority! How are mutants meant to rule if we are murdering them?" Remy knew that Piotr was trying to steer Magneto away from his plans by speaking his language.

Magneto maddened, "Do not question my actions, Colossus! You were trained to follow orders, no questions asked. And you will do as you are told!" Placing his helmet on his head, Magneto rose in to the air.

"We attack at dawn, and you all know what happens to those who oppose me." On this word, Magneto flew out the door.

John and Piotr sat still on the metal sofa whilst Remy paced the room, Boredom was taking over John and he picked up a dictionary and began to finger through it.

"Dis is shit!" Remy yelled, picking up a coaster and throwing it at the wall. "Everything was perfect. Everything was going so well," He collapsed in a chair.

"Did you know that Acolyte means follower or attendant?" John said.

"Shut up," Remy growled, "I'm thinking,"

"Geez mate, just cause youre all pre-menstrual, don't take it out on me!"

Remy shot John a warning look, "I don't know how Wanda ever wanted t be with you, y so damn annoying!"

"Well," John replied, "She couldn't resist my "come to bed" eyes"

"Y haven't got "come to bed" eyes" Remy retorted, "You've got "shag me up a back alley after fifteen Martinis" eyes,"

"We can't go up against Magneto," Piotr said, "He'd kill us,"

"And Gambit means a risk to secure an advantage," John carried on, "I wonder if Pyro is in here?"

"I told you to shut up," Remy warned. Then an idea hit him.

"We can always pretend t fight but really help de Xmen t bring Magneto down. Mags will never know!"

"Awww," John mused, "Pyro isn't in here but pyromania is. An uncontrollable urge to set things on fire,"

"John!" Remy glared at his friend, "Stop reading de dictionary and zip y mouth for once in y whole life,"

"Your idea may work Comrade, but the Xmen may think that we have betrayed them,"

"Dats a risk we're going to have to take, mon ami,"

Authors Note

Well, I am really proud of myself. My computer was down for a week so I had to write all my ideas down to be typed up later. I ended up finishing the story! Read the next chapter now please! I loved writing the Remy/ John banter!
