you for reading/reviewing as you can!

�Kurt, what
the Hell are you doing?�
�The
backstroke.�
Jubilee
rolled her eyes and popped her gum, poking him in the ribs with one bright
purple fingernail. �Don�t be a dick.
What�re you doing?�

Kurt growled softly and
dropped to the floor from his perch on the wall, folding his arms across his
chest and raising a brow at his friend. �Eavesdropping,
if you must know.�

�Oh, I must�what�re you
listening in on?� she asked, her lips curling into a smile. �Someone doin� it?�

�Oh, ew.� He wrinkled his nose in disgust before
pulling Jubilee away from the doorway and into the dark recesses of the
hallway. �Mystique is in there with
Mark. I�m trying to hear what they�re
saying!�
�You need
to take lessons from Kitty. That girl can overhear *anything*. I swear, I�m just going to start calling her
Invisible Girl and��
Kurt turned
around to see what had made Jubilee clamp her lips shut so suddenly. Remy stood
at the end of the hall, car keys dangling from his fingers and an unlit
cigarette between his lips. He was
staring at them, his red gaze scrutinizing every nuance of the duo before
him. �Hey, Remy,� Kurt said
offhandedly. �Heading out?�
�Oui� Kitty
needs a ride from the airport�� He
shifted his weight from foot to foot, frowning intently. �Figured I�d go run some errands first��
Kurt
blinked. �Her plane doesn�t come in for
six more hours, mein Freund�� He took a
few steps in the Cajun�s direction but Remy�s pointed glare made him stop
short. �Do you want some company? I�d like to come with you to pick Kitty up�� He ached to see her, truth be told. Remy did not respond to him but rather looked
past him. Kurt felt as if he were caught
in the midst of an Old West gun fight, moments before the firing began. �Um� I�m�er� bye!� He vanished from between
the staring couple and reappeared further down the hall, past the rec room
door. He could hear Mark and Mystique
speaking in low tones within but could not make out words. Putting the worries of his friends aside for
just a moment, he crept forward in the shadows, the late afternoon sun slicing across
the marble and casting pockets of shadow against the white walls. Kurt sank to his heels, crouching just beside
the doorway, and closed his eyes in an effort to hear better.
�It�s
coming, Mark. It won�t be long now.�
�Raven,
walk me through this. *What* is coming?� Mark leaned closer in his seat,
frowning. �I understand that there is
something on the horizon but�� He sighed
and seemed to weigh his words for a long moment before speaking again. �I�m afraid I�m rather out of the loop
here. Each day brings me some new wonder
to puzzle out and add to the list. Right
now, I�m just trying to sort out how you managed to get my luggage back for me.�
Mystique
laughed lightly, a sound Kurt had never heard before. It sounded almost girlish. �I�ll tell you how I did it if you tell me
why that lap top computer in your bag is so�complicated.�
There was a
long silence. �You opened the computer?� Mark�s voice was clipped, cold.
�They
wanted to prove it wasn�t a bomb so yes.
I turned it on, too, then back off.
Don�t give me that look, Mark. I�m
not a child!� Mystique�s tone was as
clipped as Mark�s but far hotter, angry.
After what
seemed like an entire minute, Mark sighed noisily. �Apologies, Raven, Years of�being careful�has made me paranoid.� There was a rustle of fabric as he slid
forward on the sofa, closing the distance between them to lay a friendly hand
on her shoulder. �Now, will you tell me
why you came over here looking as if someone just died?�
Her eyes
flared brightly for one second, just long enough for Mark to notice the change,
then she was neutral again. �Long day,�
she smiled. She could not tell him about
Magneto, about Professor Xavier. �I�m
going out of town tomorrow. I�ll be gone
for about a week.�
Mark
nodded, his gaze flickering towards the doorway. Someone was out there but he could not see
them. _Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me�
_ He glanced back at Raven and found her closer than a moment before.
Her light perfume teased his senses and he found himself leaning in almost
unconsciously. �Business trip?� he
asked, wincing inwardly as his voice came out huskier than he intended.
�Something
like that,� she smiled. _Oh, why
not? _
She closed the distance between them, her lips first brushing his, then
pressing against his more firmly.

Kurt
frowned. They had stopped talking. _It�s
too much to hope that she dropped dead, isn�t it? _ He
rose to his feet and leaned cautiously around the doorframe. �NEIN!�

Professor
Xavier frowned. �I wish Kurt would learn
the difference between indoor voice and outdoor voice,� he sighed before
returning his attention to Storm, Logan, Emma and Banshee. �I�ve heard from Warren
this morning. The Morlocks are returning
to New York even as we speak but
their appearance shook Kitty badly. I
can�t say that Warren was
unaffected.� He did not look at Storm,
knowing that her face would ask the question she could not voice. �They want to make a deal. They want to ally with us for what they are
claiming is the coming war.�
Logan
inhaled deeply, seemingly trying to keep his temper. �I�m sick to death of this war bullshit,� he finally
said. �Magneto�s war, the Morlock�s war� At the risk of sounding like a pansy,
can�t we just have peace for once?� He
felt Storm tighten next to him, her body rigid with some unspoken pain. Surreptitiously, he laid his hand on her knee
and felt her relax marginally. �I�m not
gonna lay my life on the line for something I don�t care about.�
Professor
Xavier let the silence reign for a long moment, looking at each of his
associates and friends in the eyes. �I
have done something that might prove to be foolish. I have agreed to help Magneto.�
�What?� The room, sparsely
populated as it was, erupted into a flurry of noise and motion. Emma was on her feet, her anger blasting from
her like a furnace without a word being spoken.
Sean�s face turned a bright red and he bit back a string of invectives
which Logan freely expressed. Storm
rose and glared, her disapproval so strong in the
silence that it cut Professor Xavier like a knife.
�There has
been�a factioning of the Brotherhood. Essex, Magneto�s briefly held associate, has
splintered away and is starting a new group.
A very dangerous group. I have been asked to help stop this faction
from��
�Stop,
Charles,� Storm�s voice broke through his words softly. �Stop. You don�t
need to give us your reasons.� She
stepped towards him, looking him in the eyes in such a way that he almost had
to look away. �We do not need to
function as a group at all times. Your decisions are your own.�
Emma pushed
a lock of platinum hair behind her ear and sniffed haughtily. �If you choose to help Magneto,
that is your business. Nothing short of an act of God can make me bend
to him!�
Professor
Xavier held up his hand, stemming the growing outburst. �I am not asking any of you to help. I�m making my intentions known. If this is a problem for you�� he trailed
off, his eyes unblinking.
Logan
stood, the unlit cigar between his teeth clenched so tightly it was at the
bursting point. �I gotta
go get the boys going on their five mile.�
Storm
nodded. �I have tasks as well.�
Emma and
Banshee did not give an excuse. Soon, he
was alone in the room, staring at the door.
_Everything, _ Professor Xavier thought wearily, _grows and changes. Things fall apart and are put back in new
ways� _ A commotion downstairs made him wince. Kurt
was pitching a fit and it sounded as if Remy were somehow involved. �But sometimes things stay exactly the same��

A/N Next fic� MORE smut.
I promise. A lot more. Loooooooots more. And Kitty is
back, Remy is pissy, Mark is no longer wearing Rogue�s
clothes�
