A/N: Hola everybody! Thanks for all of the reviews! I appreciate all the kind words. I am 100% better and ready to roll! So, sorry I kind of jumped in heavy last chapter. Lol. I just figured that it was about time for some Romy goodness! Also, I would like to clear up a few things about my fic. Remy has never met Sinister, and that is why he didn't recognize him. My story is kind of a combination of all the X-Men universes, with a dash of AU. Sorry if there was any confusion! There is still MUCH to come! Well, on with the fic!
Chapter 13
Wakey Wakey
Her sleep was interrupted the next morning by movement in her bed. She froze for a moment, forgetting where she was. When she turned to look at the man lying next to her, the memories of the previous night came flooding back at full force. She smiled to herself and felt heat radiate within her cheeks when she thought of all the things that they did. A small part of her felt a little embarrassed for jumping into bed with him so quickly, but the other majority was pleased at pie. After all, he knew her better than anybody.
They had made love numerous times throughout the night, and it was far better than anything she could have ever imagined. But the sex wasn't the part that had her giddy with delight. It was the fact that he had told her he loved her, and she in return told him. She always had known that she loved him, and it felt great now that she knew that he reciprocated those feelings. She was sure that she had misheard him the previous night when he told her. It wasn't exactly in his character to discuss his feelings. But he opened up to her, and she with him. Things were actually starting to look up for her.
Her thoughts floated to what Emma informed her of previously, how when one started they couldn't stop. She had definitely been right.
Shit. Emma.
She glanced around the room trying to find a clock for the time. They had quite a bit of information that they needed to tell the team. She sat up preparing to dress herself, but was suddenly interrupted when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her back within the mess of covers.
She smiled to herself as he pulled her close to his body. His voice was still husky with sleep. "Not yet Chère."
"Remy, you know that we have to get back soon to tell the others."
He started placing a series of delicate kisses down her neck. She quickly felt the familiar ache of need begin to course through her veins. She felt his manhood stir and firmly press against her still bare bottom.
She moved her hand behind her, teasing his length. He sighed within her neck, and she quickly rolled over to face him. "Okay Casanova, we will have more than enough time to do this later. Right now we have to go back and tell the others about everything."
The look on his face was priceless. She had never seen a grown man pout until now. "Yes, but we have more than enough time do this now."
She quickly wiggled from his firm grasp, knowing that she wouldn't be able to resist him much longer. "As much as I want to, we have important information that has to be relayed. What time is it anyway?"
She heard him shift his movement to look at the clock she hadn't been able to locate earlier. She knew it was due to his mutation; he could see rather well in the dark. "It's a little after twelve."
She almost shrieked. Damn his curtains! They blocked out almost all of the sunlight. "We slept until noon? Oh my gosh, they are gonna be so pissed!"
She leaned down and attempted to put her dress back on. She was kicking herself in the ass for not remembering to bring a change of clothes. Now when she entered the mansion, they would definitely know that she was doing the walk of shame. But it was worth it. Every. Single. Minute.
She became frustrated when she heard him leisurely making his way to the bathroom. She was even more furious when she heard him turn the shower taps on. She quickly marched in. When she made it to the bathroom, she had forgotten that they had both slept in the nude. She would never get tired of seeing his form. Never. "What are you doing? We have to go!"
He gave her his signature cocky grin as he pulled the shower curtain aside. "What's wrong? You don't want them to know that their good little Rogue turned into a sex vixen last night?"
She quickly became flustered. "No. It's not that, it's that we…we really should…"
She was trying to sound assertive, but she found it impossible to do so while he was slowly removing last night's dress from her form.
"Relax Chère.What difference does another hour make?"
She gave him a teasing look. "Another hour?"
He almost growled in response as he lifted her by her waist and placed her on himself. "Or longer if you like."
He placed his mouth on hers, and both retreated into the hot water. It was freezing cold by the time they were finished.

She loved the feeling of flight. She knew she should hate it. After all, the power was now within her because she had killed someone. But she couldn't help it. She absolutely loved everything about it. The way the air would float around her body made her feel amazing. She also loved the speed of it. That is why she had suggested that they fly instead of drive. She looked down to check on her passenger.
She almost laughed uncontrollably when she saw that he had his eyes closed. She spoke with a raised voice so he could hear her over the wind gliding past their bodies. "You big baby! Open your eyes! It's beautiful out here today!"
It was, in fact, a very beautiful day. Spring was coming to an end and summer was quickly approaching. But he couldn't concentrate on that right now. There was something very unnerving about being miles up in the sky, and the only thing keeping you from plummeting to the ground is a woman's grasp underneath your armpits. He wasn't afraid of flying…but this sensation was way different than being in a plane. Airplanes at least had walls. "I'm good."
She smiled widely at his brash answer. "The great Gambit is actually afraid of something? What is the world coming to?"
Any other time he would love to tease and play little games with her, but not now. He was just doing his best not to throw up. She would never let it go if he did.
As if she sensed his thoughts, she brought her mouth closer to his ear. "You can open your eyes now Sugar. We're here."
When they landed on the mansion's grassy grounds, he quickly got down on his hands and knees and kissed it.
She giggled at his actions. "Come on, its not that bad."
He looked at her in disbelief. "Are you crazy, woman? I just hope you don't drive the way you fly! You almost hit an airplane! Twice!"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm just a little out of practice, that's all."
He still continued to stare at her. She smiled warmly at him and looped her arm through his. "It's your own fault. We could have taken a cab if you weren't so worried about taking a shower."
He tilted his head, and was struck with a sudden realization. "You did all that to get even with me?"
She smiled deviously in his direction. "Well, I did tell you that we had to go."
He returned the smile and brought her closer to him. "Touché. But I don't recall you complaining."
She shimmied out his grasp and headed towards the mansion doors. As she walked she turned back to him, a sly smile playing on her face. "I choose my battles wisely."
God he loved that woman.

A few hours later they were both in the war room debriefing the team. The others listened intently as they discussed what they had found out. They handed Emma the documentation that they had discovered, and she quickly glanced over the information. Scott tried to scoot over in her direction to glance over the documents as well, but quickly received somewhat of a death glare from his fiancé. He quickly ceased his movement and returned to his original spot by Jean.
Rogue wasn't the only one that witnessed the little interaction. Remy glanced her way and raised his eyebrows. She quickly turned away from his questioning look. She promised Emma that she wouldn't say anything about the pregnancy, and Remy was excellent a finding things out. The odds definitely were not in her favor. All he had to do was touch her and she would be spilling out information. She thought of last night's encounters with him, and smiled to herself.
She kicked herself for letting her thoughts drift elsewhere; because she knew when it came to Remy she was a mental broadcaster. Emma abruptly looked up and smirked.
Rogue knew she was found out, and quickly cleared her throat so Emma would quit looking at her the way she currently was. It was as if the look on her face was saying, "You are going to tell me absolutely everything as soon as we get out of here."
Rogue decided right now would be a good time to continue with the debriefing. "So as soon as we found the documents, we tried to leave as soon as possible, but we were caught on the way out. We ran into somebody, the last person that I ever expected to see."
She turned to Emma, because she knew she would have the biggest reaction out of them all. "It was Shaw."
Emma quickly looked up from the documentation; a look of fear quickly passing over her normally composed features. "What do you mean 'It was Shaw'?"
Rogue could tell that Emma was going to lose her cool at any moment. "It was him Emma, only he had no idea who he was. But there was also somebody else with him. It was Sinister."
At this statement, every body started speaking at once. She had to wait a few moments before she could even distinguish one question from another. Kitty just so happened to be closest to her, so she heard her question first. "So the crazy cloning guy is at Mr. Stuart's mansion? Why would he even allow that?
"He is funding them, but he also offers them protection. That's really all that it says in those papers."
Emma stood up. "You should have brought them back Rogue! If they have any indication that we have penetrated Trask enterprises, they will pull out and disappear!"
Rogue knew that Emma was really hormonal, but she found it hard to just sit there and get screamed at like she was a child. After all, Emma didn't exactly have any room to talk. She was supposed to be there as well, but had gotten a few of her priorities discombobulated.
She was going to speak up to defend herself, but found that Remy had beaten her to it. "If we would have even tried any action like that, we would have been killed on sight. You know that as well as we do. You yourself said that security would be fully demonstrated, and it was."
Emma still continued on her rant. "You should have done everything in your power to at least get Shaw back! Once he gains his memory he will come find us! We will all be screwed!"
Logan spoke up. "The Cajun just told you why they didn't. Hopefully he has a another plan?" He looked in Gambit's direction hoping that he did have some other plan in motion. It seemed like an awful lot to go through to come back empty handed.
"Why, yes Monsieur Claws, as a matter of fact I do. I was invited to come to a meeting in four months time. It's our best bet to get in unnoticed."
Logan completely understood the logic. It was a waiting game that was completely necessary. The critical part was being patient, and their new resident psychic gave no indication that she was going to comply.
"Four months? Are you both out of your fucking minds?! They will have moved the whole damn operation by that time!"
Remy was becoming impatient with the hysterical blonde woman in front of him. "They won't move. It's too risky, and Stuart has too much invested in them both to just let them walk freely."
Emma laughed sarcastically at his response. "Oh really? And your basing your information on your low life little thieving heists? You're pathetic!"
Rogue considered Emma a friend. A good one for that matter. She also knew that most of Emma's craziness was due to her being pregnant. But right now none of that mattered. All she could see was red. Both her and Remy had risked their lives for that mission, and Emma was being awfully disrespectful "You better shut your mouth Emma, or I will shut it for you!"
Emma sneered in her direction. She would use the new information that Rogue was projecting earlier as ammunition. She knew it was wrong, but she felt like everyone was ganging up on her when she was clearly in the right. "What, you fuck him one time and all of the sudden he comes before me? You know you're just going to be another notch on his bedpost!"
Rogue immediately reddened. She would never expect Emma to out her in front of everyone. She was furious. And a small part in the back of her mind had wondered the same thing. She wanted to fly over and punch her straight in her face.
Remy didn't take the slander of his name lightly. If Emma would have just disrespected him, he could brush it off. But he would be damned if she thought he would just stand by and watch while she made Rogue feel like some random cheap whore. He loved the woman! And besides, wasn't Emma supposedly her friend? He knew the signs of a bitter woman, and he would use that to his advantage. "You're just upset because no man wants to keep you, non?"
Remy had no idea how close to home he actually hit. Emma stood, enraged at the fact that she felt like she was going to cry.
Cyclops finally spoke up. "Emma that's enough—"
She continued to yell. "There are plenty of men that want me! Look at me for Christ's sake!" She turned towards Scott before she continued. "Any man in his right mind would be crazy to let me go!"
Scott was becoming concerned. "Emma, you really should calm down!"
Emma finally broke down and began to sob. "What's so wrong with me?! I would give you what you deserve!"
The realization hit everyone at once that the subject matter had completely changed.
Remy realized what was going on immediately. Emma was in love with one-eye.
Forgetting all that had previously transpired, Rogue sighed and went over to her friend.
Emma quickly shrugged her off and continued. "I can't stand it! I can't stand it seeing you put on that false happiness around her! You and I both know how you feel!" She was to the point of almost screaming.
Scott had only one main concern in mind. "Emma calm down! Stress is bad for the baby!"
The room immediately became still.
Rogue almost felt like she would suffocate from all the tension that was floating around.
Jean calmly stood, and walked out of the room.
The others shifted awkwardly.
Emma had a look of pure shock on her face. "Oh that's just great Scott! Way to break the news to everybody!"
She turned to address the others and threw her hands up in the air. "You hear that everyone? I am having Scott Summers baby!"
She then sharply turned to face him with tears still fresh on her cheeks. "I wish it was with anybody but you!"
She quickly exited the room. Nobody moved. It was as if they couldn't. Scott ran his hand through his hair in a frustrated manner. "You all would have found out sooner or later. I am sorry for the way that it happened. You are all dismissed." He ran out of the room, and Rogue was curious to find out whom he went to talk to first. The mother of his unborn child? Or his fiancé? The whole situation was more than messed up.
Kitty was the first to speak up. "Wow. I did NOT see that coming."
Bobby piped in. "Dude, Summers is such a player! Two hot chicks at once? Man, you know he is in so much shit with Jean! I wonder if she knew?"
Rogue felt the need to put the stop to the gossip. "She knew. And they already have things figured out. It's their business, so we should just let it drop."
Everyone nodded their heads that they understood, but she knew that this was going to be the most talked about scandal in the mansion. This was not how she was planning for the day to turn out.
She walked out, and felt an arm wrap around her waist. She looked up and met red orbs. "You knew, didn't you?"
She sighed in response. "Yes. That's the reason she didn't go on the mission."
He nodded his head in understanding.
When they reached her room, she paused awkwardly, not knowing what she should do. She had never been in a serious relationship before, and didn't know what her next move should be. Should she invite him in and tear his clothes off? Or should she give him a hug and let him know that she would see him later? Plus, even though she knew Emma had not meant it, there was still a seed planted in her head. What if Remy had used her, and just told her everything that she wanted to hear to get into her pants?
As if he had heard her thoughts, he quickly brought her close to him and held her in his embrace. "I meant what I said last night."
That was all the reassurance that she needed. She knew he was referring to him telling her that he loved her.
She sighed contently in his shirt. "I did too. You think we did the right thing? By leaving Shaw there?"
"Yes. Trust me, I know these types. A big investor isn't going to let his investment go unattended. Now it is just our job to find out why he is funding mutants, and why they need protection. I have a feeling it is a lot bigger than we think it is."
She huffed at this information. She didn't say anything previously, but she knew that he was right. She knew something big was going to happen, and it was their job to figure things out.
She released her embrace, and stood on her toes to kiss him. As they met, he snatched her back up and brought her close to him. She smiled against his lips, and reluctantly pushed off of him.
"I don't think I can take much more today. I'm a little…sore."
He gave her a look of pure lust and cupped her face in his hand. "Remy will be very, very gentle."
She almost felt herself go weak in the knees. His voice was pure warm liquid that cascaded about her body, making her want to do things to him that would make most people blush.
"As good as that sounds, I have to check on Emma."
"Wow. That's a mood killer."
She smiled warmly at him. "You know she didn't mean the things that she said. She is just hormonal."
"It is going to be weird having a pregnant member on the team."
Rogue almost laughed at the picture that popped in her head. She could envision Emma nine months pregnant still wearing her little white uniform that exposed her new swollen belly.
"It's different, but it will be kind of neat, ya know?"
Remy gave her a devilish grin. "You want kids?"
Once again, she felt herself blush in front of him. He had a way of making her do that. "Not now, but yeah. Someday."
He continued to grin down at her. "Want to get started now?"
She playfully slapped his chest and turned to make her way to Emma's Room. "Ha Ha. I'll be back in a little bit."
As he watched her leave, he realized something. Every time a woman in his past had even mentioned the idea of him fathering children, he would bolt. Immediately. But when she said it, he didn't feel that way at all. He actually felt…excited. He wanted to slap himself in the face. Get yourself together, Lebeau. If you move any faster, you're gonna scare her off.
He quickly made his way to his own room.
XXXXXXXXXX
Rogue looked everywhere in the mansion for Emma, but couldn't seem to find her anywhere. She looked in her room, the kitchen, and the rec room. She was nowhere to be found. She made her way down to the med bay to see if she could find her there.
She entered through the automatic doors, and was disappointed when she didn't find her in the small room. She decided to check on "Christian" to see how things were. Even though they were not sure if the comatose body was Emma's real brother or not, they did take up calling him by his name. It gave the body a sense of identity, and didn't make things more uncomfortable than they had to be. She checked his vitals on the machine, observing that there had not been any change.
She didn't think that she would be able to put on a brave face like Emma did everyday. Not with everything that was going on it her life. In fact, most people would break down if they were going through half of the things that Emma was dealing with. She was pregnant with an engaged man's baby, her "brother" was in a coma, someone burned her school down, and now she was worried about Shaw being able to find them. It was a lot to deal with.
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt for yelling at her. She should have been more understanding.
She brushed Christian's hair back away from his face. She felt like she had a connection with him, even if it was only through Emma. She could never begin to describe the anguish that Emma felt when she saw his body (or a clones) hanging from that chandelier.
Her moment was interrupted when she heard a distant yell. She rolled her eyes and recognized the voice immediately. It was Kara's.
She had almost completely forgotten that the woman was still in their custody.
She walked towards the obnoxious voice. She could hear Kitty as well. "It isn't that bad!"
Kara responded. "I knew it! You are trying to poison me! Because this shit is not even edible!"
Rogue had to stifle a laugh. She forgot that last night was Kitty's night to cook. She must have brought Kara the leftovers.
She made her way to their isolation units, and took in the comical sight before her. Kitty was trying to shove the food through the slot, while Kara was blocking the entrance.
The units had no bars, but clear unbreakable glass. There was also an inhibitor device installed so the captive couldn't use their powers. It was an ingenious device designed by Forge, before he and Storm left to start their own lives. She missed them both immensely.
At the sight of her, Kara straightened up and became silent. Kitty noticed her actions, and turned around. She had a look of relief on her face when she saw that it was Rogue.
"Oh thank God. She won't eat! I told her there is no use starving herself."
Kara immediately spoke up. "Kitty, nobody can eat the shit that you cook! It's not just me!"
Rogue found it odd that Kara was speaking to Kitty as if nothing had happened. She moved in a little closer. "Kitty, I think there is some left over chinese in the fridge. Maybe you should just give her that."
Kitty pointed the plastic fork in Kara's direction. "This one time. Next time you will eat what I cook! Why doesn't anybody like tofu?" And with that the petite woman was phasing through the wall headed to the kitchen. The other two women stood in silence separated by glass. Kara spoke first. "What? Did you come down here to lecture me on how wrong and crazy I acted? If you did, save your breath. I have already heard it from everyone else."
"No. Actually I forgot all about you until I heard you yelling. You really should work on your manners. I mean it's bad enough you tried to kill me, now you're dissing on Kitty's cooking? Tisk Tisk."
Kara started to pace the floor. "Would you just leave?"
"Did you really think that killing me would help you win back Remy?"
Kara seemed to snap at the mention of Gambit's name. "We were fine until your whore ass came back!"
Kara suddenly stopped speaking and tilted her head in Rogue's direction. "You've fucked him, haven't you?"
"That's none of your damn business!"
"You know he is just using you. He doesn't care about you! Your powerful, and he is just going to take advantage of that! Nothing ever comes without a price with him."
She knew that she shouldn't even entertain the crazed woman. "No Kara, he used you. And for that I'm sorry, but—"
"Spare me!" Kara interrupted her. "What? When he fucked you did he tell you he loved you? Wait let me guess; he said it in French didn't he? Same old tricks, different pathetic bitch."
Rogue felt herself redden with anger.
Kara laughed sardonically. "Oh my Gosh, he did, didn't he? Well let me tell you that it's all a ploy, it always is."
Rogue snapped. She made an attempt to be civil, and Kara just wasn't having it. "I'm pathetic? You are a psychopath! I bet you sit in here and have full blown conversations with yourself, ya nut case! I bet you dream about him busting in here and freeing you, and you both ride off into the sunset. It is time for a reality check. Not one of us gives a shit about you. As a matter of fact, I will forget that you ever existed after today. And take a shower…I can smell you from here!"
She turned around and marched off. Kara began to scream in rage.
It was a small victory. All she could think about is what Kara had said to her about Remy using the exact same moves on her. Rogue was mad at herself for even allowing Kara to feel like she had any sort of power over her when it came to her relationship.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Kitty came phasing through the wall. "What the hell is her problem?"
Rogue shrugged her shoulders. "I guess she is just really hungry." She continued past Kitty to continue her search for Emma.
XXXXXXXXXX
She finally found Emma on the mansion's lake dock. Emma had her high heeled shoes placed next to her, and had her feet submerged in the water.
Emma already knew that she was there. "What?"
Rogue plopped herself next to the blonde haired woman. She also took her shoes off, and placed her feet in the water. She loved this lake. It was rather large, and had a nice sandy beach on one side. She used to shudder at the idea of sun bathing around so much exposed skin, but this summer she was looking forward to it. She turned her attention back to Emma.
"You know you were wrong in there."
"For what? For saying what you failed to do?"
Rogue found that after the little incident with Kara, her patience was now wearing thin. "And what exactly did I fail to do Emma?"
The blue-eyed woman turned and looked at her like she was crazy. "You failed to protect the team! My unborn child! You know that he is going to get his memory back, and he won't only come after you, he is going to come after me and my baby as well!"
Emma unconsciously brought her hands to her still flat stomach.
Rogue realized that Emma wasn't concerned with her own welfare; she was concerned for her baby's.
Rogue sighed and tilted her head back, allowing the sun's rays to shine on her face. "Emma, Remy knows what he is talking about, and I trust him. You should too."
Emma mindlessly began to kick at the water's surface. "I just never thought in a million years that I would be in this predicament. I just can't stand the fact that Shaw has no idea who he is, and he still has power over me. How am I suppose to be a good mother, Rogue? How am I supposed to raise a child in a world that hates us? And you know the baby will be one too. Will it have to deal with the harsh cruelties that I did?"
"Emma, that is why we are all at Xavier's, isn't it? Change doesn't happen over night. We can only guide people in the right direction; they have to figure the rest out themselves."
Emma remained silent, so Rogue decided now would be a good time to approach a more delicate topic. "So I guess the big secret is out now, huh?"
Emma lay back on the dock. "How can I be in love with a man that doesn't want me?"
Rogue shrugged her shoulders. "You're the mother of his child, of course he cares. But in his defense, he has a fiancé that thinks the world of him. I'm sure she loves him too."
Emma let out a defeated sigh. "You don't know him like I do."
Rogue couldn't help but laugh. "It's a good thing I don't, otherwise he would have to make us all sister wives."
Emma laughed at the thought. "Oh gosh, and Jean would be wife number one, and me and you would argue who was second best. She would make us do all of the gross chores, like laundry and cleaning the toilets."
Both women laughed at the idea. Emma sat up and became serious again. "You are such a good friend to me. I'm sorry that I treated you the way that I did earlier. By the way, how did the mission with Gambit go?"
Rogue immediately reddened. "Lets just say it went really, really good."
Emma smirked and lifted herself up. "I told you it was."
Rogue couldn't wipe the silly grin off of her face. "So you did."
As both of them began to walk back towards the mansion, they heard the sound of a motorcycle engine leaving the property. Rogue flew up over the tree line to see who was leaving. She was disappointed to see that it was Remy. He hadn't mentioned anything to her about leaving. She thought about flying and catching up to him, but that would make her seem a bit frantic and obsessive. She reluctantly lowered herself back down to the ground.
Emma could see the concern etched on her face. "Who was it?"
"It was Remy."
Emma brushed it off as if it were nothing. "He has always been the drifter type. He probably is just going to the bars or something. You can't expect him to change his bad habits overnight."
Rogue didn't know what to think. She knew they were in a fresh relationship, but it was common courtesy to let your significant other know where you were going. She realized that she was probably over reacting, and went back inside with Emma.
XXXXXXXXXX
Before she went to bed, she attempted to call him. The line rung once, and then went straight to voicemail. She decided not to leave one and quickly hung up. He had turned his phone off.
Interesting.
She changed into a pair of short softie shorts and a tank top. She ran a brush through her hair, and pulled it up in a messy fashion on top of her head. As she laid her head down, she couldn't get rid of the uneasy feeling that was in the pit of her stomach. Why hadn't he told her he was leaving? And why was his phone off? The last person she wanted to act like was crazy Kara, so she quickly pushed the thoughts out of her head. She was asleep within minutes.
XXXXXXXXXX
She awoke in the middle of the night due to hunger pains. She loved some things about Ms. Marvel's mutation, but her metabolism was now through the roof because of it. She realized that she hadn't really eaten much for dinner. She glanced at the clock, and groaned when she found out it was only 2:00 AM. She left the comfort of her bed to make her way down to the kitchen. She couldn't resist the temptation to knock on Remy's door to make sure that he made it home all right, although deep down inside she knew that he wasn't going to be there. She glanced at his door one final time before heading down to the kitchen area.
When she walked through the doors, she wasn't surprised to find it completely dark and empty. She flicked on the lights, and made her way over to the fridge. She opened it up, and began to graze through the contents, trying to figure out what was worth consuming. A foul smell hit her nose, and she scrunched it up in disgust. She pulled forth Logan's mutation so she could find out what was causing the odor and get rid of it. She found the culprit, which was some week old food that Bobby had tossed in the back, and completely forgot about. She always thought it was gross that he didn't wrap his food up when he would put it in the refrigerator. She quickly disposed of it, and went to the sink to wash her hands. Due to Wolverines senses, she had done the mansion a favor by throwing the crap away. Also due to his senses, she heard a noise downstairs below her.
She held still so she could hear better, and heard the noise again. It was probably Kara bouncing around in her containment unit. She headed out of the kitchen doors to go tell the crazy woman to shut it before she woke everyone up. She went down to the mansion's bottom level, making her way past the med bay and heading in Kara's direction. Only she heard the noise again and realized it wasn't coming from the containment units. She turned towards the med bay and walked through the automatic doors.
Before her brain could even comprehend what was happening, she felt an arm from behind her wrap tightly around her throat. She tried to use her powers to get out of the person's firm grasp, but found that she couldn't. Panic began to seep in when she realized she couldn't use any of the mutations that she had absorbed. She became even more panicked when her vision became blurry from the lack of oxygen. Her survival instincts began to kick in. She thrashed wildly within the person's arms, trying to do anything to change her position. She kicked frantically behind her, and heard a masculine grunt. As soon as she realized the culprit was male, she knew she had the advantage because of the height difference. She threw her elbow back, and hit him in the most sensitive spot on a man. His grasp loosened slightly, but not enough. Desperation set in and she began scratching at his arm, but felt herself becoming weaker by the minute. The male voice growled in her ear.
"What have you done with my sister?"
Well that certainly cleared things up.
It appeared that Christian was awake.
To be continued…
Duh Duh DUUUUUUUUUUH. Lol. Well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I have finals coming up (I take courses year round), but I will try to have the next chapter up in the next week or so. Please review and let me know what you think!
