Femmes * Charges:
Kamikaze put on his swimming trunks and made his way
to the pool. He found a few other people there but most said it was too cold to
swim now.
'Pansies,' he laughed to himself
and then jumped into the deep end. He came up sputtering.
Aubrey's amused face came into view,
"Too cold for you hot shot."
Ty ignored his chattering teeth,
"N-n-n-no."
Aubrey giggled, " I was looking for
Josh."
Ty lowered his brow as he watched her,
"WHY?"
"I am to try to train in the danger room," she shrugged.
"Last time I saw him he wandered off
talking to Jump," Ty climbed out of the pool.
"Jump? What did he want with
her?" Ty grabbed his towel and looked at her, "I think it's more like
she was looking for him."
Aubrey looked worried but Ty feel into a
lounge chair and smiled, "He’s a big boy Aub."
"No he thinks he is older and bigger
than he is," She sighed.
Ty found his sunglasses and pushed them on
his face, "Want to swim?"
Aubrey laughed, "I am not crazy
enough to swim in this cold water."
"Yeah?" Ty looked at her and
stood up again. He grabbed her making sure that she was as wet as he was as he
held her. He kissed her then laughed and pulled her into the pool with him. She
surfaced right behind him smacking the water and sending little waterfalls his
way.
Ty started squirting water back but the
both stopped when they noticed Storm and Gambit running out with worried looks.
"Wonder what's up," Ty mumbled
and grabbed the side of the pull to get out. Aubrey shrugged and he helped her
out.
Storm saw them and came closer as Remy
continued to search in bushes and under chairs. "Tyler, have you seen
Rayne or Imp?" Storm asked quickly.
Aubrey and TY shook their heads.
"Imp must be found," Storm
looked worried.
Ty shrugged, "Did you try
Justice?" Storm hadn't considered the possibility of Imp running to her
father because the kitchen was pretty far from his room, and she didn’t think
Jordan could have gotten that far.
Ty stopped in his track as if he
were listening to somebody speaking another language in his ear.
Storm recognized a telepathic message and
hoped it was Jordan, "Tyler?"
"Ally said she needs help
immediately," He swallowed hard, "Hayley and Rogue are both hurt.
They need you and Warren to help."
Then he looked pale. Storm touched his
arm, "What is it?"
"Ally said Hank might want to cross
match their blood types and be ready," Ty said quickly.
"Why Warren?" Storm said.
"Both off them are stuck in some
trees," Ty said plainly.
Remy walked up noticing the serious tone
and looked at them expectantly. Storm looked at him and didn't want to be the
one to tell him Hayley had been hurt.
"Is dere a problem mes ami?" he
asked, wondering if Tyler had upset Storm.
"Hayley's injured, stuck up in a
tree, pretty far from here," Tyler blurted out. He was upset and excited.
Remy’s mouth dropped open, "How injured
is she?" he asked quickly.
Storm gave Tyler a cross look as he
explained, "She's bleeding from some explosion."
Remy took a deep breath, "Lets go
help. Depeche-Toi!"
Justice smiled at his work, 'Haven't
lost my touch.' He had to admit that he missed it. He couldn't wait to show
Ororo after she had helped him that one summer night and she had been
interested enough. He looked at the now empty pot of coffee and ran to the
bathroom. He hadn't realized how long he had sat there without relieving
himself. He laughed at the idea of getting caught up in work again but how
would that balance with Jordan.
Would he have to hire a nanny for Jordan
when he had extra work or would Storm move in with them? He sighed at the
thought of it and smile followed. He loved the idea of the three of them away
from all the trouble and grunted to himself as he thought of Chloe's visit. He
couldn't explain it but he had felt violated and powerless to stop her because
of the background they had shared. Her kiss opened a flood-gate of happier
memories with her. Happy times when he would ask her how she was every 10
minutes and she would laugh and tell him the baby would be born when it was
ready Or her first big dinner for entertaining Justice's partners and clients.
They had happy times but he thought of
her touching him after he had been with Storm and he felt dirty. He sighed and
sat back down to his work. He grabbed the bottled water he kept in his little
fridge and had a long drink before a small knock on the door grabbed his
attention. His shin ached slightly at the thought of Dominick kicking him
again.
He put his water bottle down, "Always
when I am busy." He opened the door quickly and looked down this time to
see Jordan's tear stained face.
He grabbed her from the floor and looked
around, "What happened?"
"That girl tried to bite me!"
she cried, "Uncle Logan chased her away but she might be following
me."
"What girl?"
"The one with the-the-the,"
Jordan stumbled for the word, "Whiskers!"
Justice pulled her to him then looked her
over for injury, "She didn't get you?"
Jordan shook her head. He said a little
thank you to Wolverine and hugged her tightly. "I think your ok," he
smiled at her, "You want a drink? You can stay here with me for a
while."
"Okay," she finally smiled. Then
spied his little fridge and produced a little orange juice, then she jumped on
his bed.
Justice smiled at her, "I have to
do some work ok?"
"Can I watch the T.V.?"
"I have books," Justice
offered.
Justice laughed, "Really?"
The irony struck him and he laughed harder.
His eyes started turning blue as Ally
contacted him and so did Jordan's. He realized Ally must have been reaching for
every telepath she could. He could hear Bonsai's lack of concern and Tyler's
upset tone.
He tossed down his files and looked at
Jordan as their eyes stopped, "I have to go."
"Aunt Hayley's hurt," she
cried.
"Yes and I have to go help,"
He grabbed her off the bed, "I am going to go really fast so hold on tight
ok?" She nodded and Justice let his worry set his fast pace.
He flew past Storm, tyler and Remy and
backtracked.
He handed Jordan to Remy, "Can you
watch her? Storm and I have to go."
"No," Remy put her down,
"A’m goin' too."
"No, you're staying here,"
Justice pointed at him.
Remy narrowed his eyes, they would not
keep him here.
"I will watch Imp," Aubrey
offered.
Alex ran out and headed towards the
garage. She couldn't fly to keep up with Storm or use Justice's speed. So they
saw her coming out on Cyclops's bike.
Remy was surprised to see one of the
triplets on a bike but remembered how fast that bike could move and jumped on
before she could leave him behind. She turned around shocked to have a
passenger but nodded and took off.
Storm floated into the air. "If you
have their location I will follow you from the air," She told Justice.
Aubrey watched as Tyler struggled to keep
up with Justice and sighed, "You want to go to my room and play a
game?"
Jordan nodded but looked onto where her
family had gone and grabbed Aubrey's hand concerned.
"They will bring them home,"
Aubrey smiled, "Want to find some nail polish?"
Imp's eyes lit up, "YES!" she
shouted, "I mean yes, please." And she followed Aubrey into the big
doors.
Remy smiled as Alex handled Scott's bike
with ease. 'Wha's all da fuss Ally made over drivin’ ma bike?' He
wondered. It would seem they were competitive enough to match each other's
talents. Why didn’t Alley drive a bike like her sister did? A broad smile
hit his face as they flew past Justice. Hayley‘s brother was always
touting his abilities. It was funny how insignificant his speed looked
now against the raw power of the Harley. Gambit suppressed an urge to wave as
they sped by.
Instead, he reminded himself that Hayley
was in trouble and needed help, "Much further?" He yelled over the
bikes growling engine. Alex shook her head and dirt flew as she skidded it to a
halt.
"Get up," She yelled at Remy
as he still sat on the bike. He wasn‘t sure what was going on. Then it hit him
they were at the place. His eyes flew up as she spoke to him again in a
comanding tone, and he scrambled off the bike. He wondered briefly when Alex
had developed a tiger spirit?
‘Not from Hank,‘ he snorted inside. She
pulled at the seat and produced a medical kit. He realized then why she had
wanted him off the bike.
Alex looked up, "There they
are." She took a deep breath, "They’re caught in the vines." It
was easy to see Ally’s bright hair against the trees but Hayley and Rogue
blended in. Justice met them quickly.
"Where’s Hayley, Alex?" Remy
asked not quite seeing what she saw.
"See that black mass there."
Gambit nodded, then realizined it was Hayley’s hair as she hung from the tree.
She offered no sign of life.
Justice looked panicked, "I am not
getting anything from her." He saw Storm and Warren arrive.
Storm got close to them with a worried look
as she looked back at Ally and began to struggle with the ropes.
Warren's wings didn't permit him to get in
closer Alex swallowed hard, "She better be alive or I'm not going to be
able to get up there."
Justice sighed. "I can start to
climb," He offered. Alex felt into Hayley's mind and tapped into her
abilities.
"No," Alex stopped him,
"Ally's afraid you might shake the tree."
Hayley's unconscious body slipped sending
her further towards the ground but other vines stopped her fall. Storm grabbed
her foot and held it tightly.
Remy kicked the biked feeling helpless as
Tyler brought up the rear.
Alex sighed and folded her hands
together as she finished tapping Hayley's talents and her body became light as
air but she began to control it.
"Key awau!" Gambit exclaimed at
the sight, "Ah didn't know Alex could fly too."
"She can't, normally," Justice
sighed, "They can tap into each other's talents when the one isn’t using
their power. And once, somehow they all used them together." He smiled a
little at Remy.
"She's borrowin’ Hayley's
power?" Remy stared at Ally's place in the air holding onto Rogue.
"Why didn' Ally fly dem down?"
"They are tangled in the
vines," Justice sighed, "She was afraid that by trying to get one out
she would cause the other to fall. Ally isn't strong enough to keep both from
falling now because her unborn child is tapping into her energy." Justice
was worried and didn't try to hide it, "Like Hayley's baby drains her
energy."
Remy swallowed hard, because he hadn't
considered that.
Alex looked at Rogue who struggled in the
vines. They were as tough as rope. Ally came near her.
"Rogue seems fine," Ally nodded
at Hayley hanging upside down bloodied and unmoving, "Rogue told me that
when the explosions went off, Hayley shielded her and took the brunt of
the explosions."
Storm looked down to Hayley and looked at
the pitiful sight she was. Her face was bruised and the one-piece jump suit she
wore was torn where little cuts of blood shown through. She couldn't help but
to feel a little protective of the woman because Justice looked helpless below.
Alex flew down to Hayley with Ally and
Storm, "Don't move Rogue. We‘ll get you out," they called together.
Alex looked over her unconscious sister.
"I don't think her abdomen was hit," Ally said gesturing to her
sisters swollen belly where the baby was. "Her arm worries me
though,"
Ally gingerly touched her sister's arm
exposing the injury where the majority of her blood loss came from, "And
these head wounds."
Alex sighed as she began grabbing things
from the medical pack. "We never thought she would live past eighteen did
we?" Alex joked weakly, "Don't worry there aren’t any main veins or
arteries involved."
Hayley's face had dirty smudges, which
made it hard to see any bruising. Alex wrapped gauze pads to her sister’s
bleeding arm with pressure in hopes it would slow or stop the bleeding.
"Can you cut Rouge down?" Ally
asked quickly, "I couldn't get through that maze of vines or break
them."
Alex sighed and used Hayley's fire to
carefully burn through the vines and caught Rogue easily. She pulled her up to
Warren's waiting arms above the canopy.
Ally and Storm stayed with Hayley, as
Alex flew Rogue to the Angel above them. Warren held the girl tight and quickly
flew off to the mansion.
"I am going to need help getting
Hayley to the ground," Alex sighed before cutting her vines, "Can you
use your telekinesis?"
"We can fly her down, Alex,"
Storm offered quickly. 'When would the Adams accept help?'
Ally nodded. She was going to try and
help Hayley with her telekinesis if her sister had fallen, and she also played
with the idea of trying to fly her to the ground, but the vines were just too
thick.
Alex took a deep breath and used Hayley’s
fire to cut through the vines.
Storm and Ally supported Hayley's weight
and would keep her from falling.
"Ally she is going to be coming loose
soon," Alex was worried about Ally's unborn, and how taxing this was for
her sister, "Grab her with your telekinesis until I can help Storm out.
We‘ll try to do this quickly so you can rest."
As Alex cut the last vine Ally and Storm
held Hayley tight. Alex had her feet and Storm held her around Hayley’s
armpits, and they slowly lowered her to the ground.
Justice ran over and knelt by his
injured sister and took in the sad sight. He stood up quickly grasping Hayley
to his chest, "Can I run her in, or should we wait for Warren?"
"What happened?" Ty asked as he
watched Remy push forward, his face full of concern.
"Rogue was flying around, settting off explosions," Ally
caught her breath, "Rogue said she had gotten trapped in the vines.
Hayley didn't have enough time to get her lose, so she shielded Rogue with her
own body."
"Mon dieu," Remy said as he touched
her battered face. Justice looked down at his blood filled shirt, "She is
bleeding badly."
Before Alex could come closer, Justice
made his decision, "I am running her in." And he took off.
Gambit climbed on the Harley as Justice
ran off, "Right behin’ yo’ homme." Before he could leave, Ty jumped
on the bike behind Remy and they sped off. Ally and Alex traded a tired look
with Storm, and they all took to the air. Alex called Beast telepathically and
told him what was to expect.
