Thread: X-Men Evolved

Before he could respond, Kurt had to address his sister and friend, Come on, guys. Zere are still students around. You know besser. It came out more like the whine of a grossed out younger brother than a concerned teacher, but it didn't change that he wanted them to stop doing...whatever together. Rogue laughed softly after planting a kiss on Remy's cheek. Chill out, Kurt, she instructed. We ain't doin' nuthin' wrong. Not yet, Remy chuckled slyly. Keep it in your pants, Cassie rolled her eyes. Some of us are trying to eat here. She wasn't, though. Still too upset to be hungry, Cassandra didn't even have a plate in front of her. Kurt rolled his eyes as well, You two are so gross sometimes. You say dat, mon ami, but when you get t'be wid your cher you will be just da same, Remy teased back. Is dat where you're goin' now? To meet le petite? Cheeks heated, the indigo man shook his head, I'm going out drinking tonight. Sounds like fun, Rogue smiled to Kurt, playfully swatting at Remy for making her brother blush. Isn't Holly a little young for that? Cassie teased. Nein, not Holly, Kurt corrected. Herr Logan. Oh. Cassie didn't outwardly react, but the knots in her stomach clenched up when she thought of Logan's earlier threat. Sitting at a bar bitching about your boss is kind of hard to do with your boss, she tried to joke. Kurt shrugged, He approached me zis morning. Saying ve vere going out tonight. I almost said nein because I vanted to...vell...finish up a project. Did you? Finish it, I mean? Project? Rogue echoed. What're ya workin' on? Kurt squirmed, I made somezing for Holly. Even betta dan flowers, Remy smirked. But Rogue frowned. Kurt, you're gonna get in trouble. I von't, the German insisted. It vas just a bracelet. As long as she doesn't say who is vas from no one vill ever know. Und...it made her smile. I zink. If ya say so... Rogue mumbled, unconvinced. Didja not stick 'round ta see le petit smile? Remy questioned. I did, aber I saw her smile...I zink she smiled because of it. His flickered up and around, You haven't seen her have you? The two lovebirds shook their heads 'no' but Cassie was lost in her own world and didn't reply. We haven't been lookin, though, either, Rogue reminded him. She must have eaten earlier, he sighed. Ah, I have to get going. If you see her wearing it let me know, bitte? Ah don't think we'll be seein' much 'a anybody, Rogue admitted with a sly smile. Cassie's attention snapped back to Kurt as he got ready to go. Wait, y'all are leaving right now? Shall I wisk you away, m'dear? Remy cooed, placing a kiss to her cheek. Kurt nodded, He said right after dinner. Ah would like nothin more, Rogue replied, playing into his sweet talk. Oh. Cassandra chewed on her bottom lip, thinking. Okay. She stood abruptly. See you all tomorrow, then, the woman said in monotone as she walked away, pulling out her phone as she went. Out of the dining hall, she sent a text to Logan as she headed for her own room. - There's no such thing as even. Logan glanced down at his phone as he waited for Kurt outside the fuzzy man's room. Looking over the text, he clicked out of it and slipped it into his back pocket, snarling as his patience was thinning. I'll leave you to it, Kurt cringed away from his sister's PDA as he also stood. The furry mutant checked his watch again as he left the dining hall. He was a few minutes late after getting distracted by Bobby and his other friends. Entschuldigung, he apologized as he came up behind Logan. I vas distracted. Logan shrugged, Let's just go. Kurt nodded, prepared to follow his friend. Ze usual place tonight? That's the one, bub. Hands in his pockets as they walked down the hall, Kurt's tail swished lazily. Ve haven't been out in a long time, he commented. Logan simply grunted. His eyes dancing on the look out as they made their way to the front door. Noticing the way Wolverine was on edge, Kurt asked, Somezing vrong? Just don't want nobody bothering us on the way out. Kurt shrugged, Just about everyone's still at dinner. Ve're a bit earlier zan usual. I don't want any obstacles. Just wanna get there and relax. Somezing is stressing you out? Again, just a grunt. Kurt breathed in the cold night air when the two stepped outside. He stretched his arms over his head with a sigh. You're not ze only von zat's been on edge, he admitted. The wolverine growled, After what happened yesterday, I would be surprised if I was. Kurt shook his head, I don't like having Vade Vilson around. Especially since he zeems to enjoy picking on Deimos. It vorries me. Same, he looked to Kurt. You shouldn't leave the two of them alone if you can help it. He grimaced. I don't vant to. But zat vould involve being vith one of zem at all times. I don't like Vade and Deimos doesn't like me, so it's difficult. Kurt's cheeks heated as he thought of something. This might not have been the proper company to mention it in, but he said anyway, Zough, Bobby zeems to do a good job, um... holding Vade's attention. What those two do is between them, Logan grumbled. Only care when they bring others into their shit. Kurt nearly stuck out his tongue at the thought. Zey do zat? It didn't sound the Bobby he knew, but then again the Bobby he knew wasn't interested in men and yet he was involved with Wade. Logan snarled the affirmative, his pace quickening. As his legs were much longer, Kurt barely had to change his stride to keep up with Logan. He didn't miss the other's increased agitation, though. His first thought was that maybe Wade had come onto the wolverine, but he quickly rid himself of that image before it could even develop. Besides, Logan had to be pretty used to that seeing how Wade was basically obsessed with the shorter man. His next thought was Deimos and Kurt tripped over his own feet. He... He vouldn't. Vould he? I doubt that bastard cares who it is so long as they amuse him and do everything he says. You don't zink he vould go after ze students, do you? he asked, thinking of Lucille's timidness when faced with Wade before. If he can pull a gun on them, I wouldn't be surprised if he invited them to bed. Mein Gott, Kurt paled. An insane predator loose in their school? He was very glad to know that the man wasn't there now, or else he wouldn't be letting Lucille out of his sight. Vhy do you allow him on ze property? he questioned, mildly incredulous. Logan sighed, If it was just my decision, he wouldn't be. Jean is okay vith zis? Her and Chuck want him to join the team. Kurt dragged a blue hand over his then around to rub at the back of his neck. Talk about a reason to drink.... Deadpool? An X-Men? Zey must be out of zere minds. Und Scott? Logan shrugged, Cyke doesn't really get a say at this point. Chuck is adamant. Adamant? Kurt repeated. About Vade? Logan shrugged, It's all ridiculous. I don't wanna talk about it anymore. Kurt nodded once. Logan was right, it WAS ridiculous. It was more than ridiculous. It was downright terrifying. Although Logan liked his silence, the two usually spent nights like these chatting. But Kurt's mind was focused on Holly, mostly, and Wade. With a little bit of Bobby thrown in was his friend really okay? With nothing else unrelated to Wade to say, Kurt brought up something he figured would get his friend talking, How are ze vedding plans coming? Logan sighed as they approached the bar's front door, Just wait for the first glass before we get there, all right? Kurt smirked, holding the door open for his friend. Mutant friendly or not, he still didn't like being the first one in when not wearing his inducer. Sure. Thanks, Logan grumbled as he walked in, quickly heading towards the bar to order the usual. Kurt followed, hopping up on a bar stool and wrapping his tail around his own leg to keep it from tripping other patrons. He motioned to the bar tender to double Logan's order, the second drink for him. Logan didn't waste a second. Once the glass hit his palm he downed it and ordered for another, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Kurt's eyebrows shot up, his own glass not even to his lips yet. But he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut until Logan got his second drink something was definitely wrong. Getting his second, Logan stopped halfway down, chugging and slamming the glass on the countertop. He sighed, looking down at thhe murkey beverage. Even the bartender gave him a sideeye this time. Alright, talk, Kurt demanded. Glancing over at the indigo man, Logan threw an arm behind the back of his chair. I dunno, he swished his drink. Depending on her...things are rocky right now. Her? Cassie, must be. But... Rocky? Kurt echoed. That would explain why Logan had been more irritated than usual today. And now that he thought about it, she had been acting kind of weird at dinner. Vhy? Heaving a sigh, Logan murmured, Because she doesn't care. Zat's a little hard to believe. Kurt took a gulp from his glass. It was never fun being in the middle of something like this, but he had to be there for his friends. Both of them. Yeah, Logan snorted. I pushed the thought off long enough. Kurt frowned deeply. Vhat makes you say she doesn't care? Because she never listens, the wolverine growled. I don't want her to obey or some stupid shit like that. But, whenever...I get pissed and instead of trying to see it from my view, or taking me seriously she laughs and waves me off. That sounded like Cassie, alright. And you've told her zis bozers you? Kurt assumed. I tried, but she doesn't stop laughing. He looked at Kurt, offended, She asks me why I take it so personally. Can you believe that? I can believe she said it, Kurt responded dryly. He loved Cassie, but she could definitely be insensitive and thoughtless. But zat does not mean she doesn't care about you. Running his hand through his hair, Logan groaned, I know. But, if she can't respect me the way I respect her, then this isn't an equal relationship. I can't be okay sitting at home knowing that she's perfectly okay with touching other men. Kurt's eyes narrowed. Vait, vat? Logan chugged down the rest of his drink, the glass cracking in his grip once it was empty, She was...intimate with Wilson and Bobby. Kurt pushed his drink away as he tried to push that mental image out of his mind. He shook his head slowly, trying to grasp why Logan was saying. Cassie... cheated on you? Vith Vade... und Bobby? I could smell them on her. It wasn't sex, but her hands were soaked in their smell. She even admitted it, she was trying to get me jealous, and that shit gets old real quick. In Kurt's opinion, the word 'soaked' had been a bit unnecessary. And gross. Aber, if she is looking for your jealousy zen she must care vat you zink, ja? I wish it was that simple, Logan shook his head. I've been a toy for a long time for people who enjoyed my reactions far too much. I'm not starting my marriage out like that. He could understand that. And Logan had more than a right to be angry. You're sure zis vasn't some shitty stunt Vade initiated? With the somewhat skewed view he got of their interactions, it wouldn't totally surprise Kurt if Deadpool was manipulating the situation to keep his 'Wolvie' single. Logan shook his head, Even if he initiated it, she doesn't have to go along with it. And, every time he's around she jokes about sleeping with him. How can I trust her when she comes to me giggling about how she got him off with her hands? He paused, adding, So, I told her I would find a bed partner for the night. This officially outside of Kurt's comfort zone, and the look on his face showed it. The bartender had given Logan a new glass, tossing his cracked on in the trash. Since it was still early, the place was pretty quiet and he was doing an okay job and pretending to not be listening to their drama. Kurt shook his head again. At least she told you? he half shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck. I don't zink I can help you pick up a chick just to make your fianc jealous. Logan looked to Kurt, I ain't really gonna do it. The blue mutant didn't even try to hide his sigh of relief. Gottseidank, he muttered. Vhy threaten it, zen? To make her jealous too? To show her how terrifying it feels. Und her reaction? Logan shrugged. I think it hit her, but I wanted to go out to really drive it home. You know? She thinks I'm trying to get even right now. She's upset, and I want her to be so she can just how it makes me feel every time this shit happens. If she still can't understand, then... She did seem to get nervous ven I mentioned ve vere going out, Kurt remembered. Zat still doesn't sound like a healzy basis for a relationship. Logan snorted, I know, but a healthy relationship has never been my specialty, and...I really don't wanna let her go. Did you tell her zat? Kurt asked, raising a brow. You know she is impulsive und thoughtless. If she zinks you are out vith someone.... It is a good zing ze rest of our friends are staying in tonight or she might be out vith zem. I told her that if she can't understand why I am so upset over this then we'd be over. I'm giving her the opportunity to learn. Kurt smirked, picking up his drink again. Alvays ze teacher, Herr Logan. But zat's a harsh lesson. Is it really not possible to talk to her about zes zings? I know Cassie can be difficult but surely zere's a vay to fix zis. I told ya, Elf, she just doesn't listen, the man gulped down a bit of his drink. She just laughs and laughs and every time I think I get through to her and she'll stop she just laughs some more. Sounds like ze students who laugh ven zey know zey are in trouble, Kurt commented. Logan shook his head, She just doesn't take me seriously.
