Jack
Everyone was sleeping peacefully, in the hijacked cruiseship. The waves lapped gently at its side, and the sun shone down blissfully. They were all curled up with their significant others, or at least an openminded companion (or two).
CRASH! Grindgrindgrind...
Jack sat bolt upright in bed, eyes blinking and hands going for his pistols. But of course they weren't there.
"Well...damn."
He got out of bed, grabbing his pants and shrugging them on.
"I thought ye said this ship could steer herself?!"
Bobbyand Rebekah
"Ok, I said they probably could, but I had no idea, I'm not a boat person!" Bobby said, sitting upright and rubbing his eyes.
Rebekah sat up and looked around.
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
Jack bolted out the door to find out what the damage was, cursing fluently but archaically as he went.
Octavian growled softly in his sleep and wriggled closer to Bobby.
Jonothon sat up, rubbing his eyes.
"What the hell was that?"
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby groaned and reached for his pants.
"Better go help Jack."
Rebekah shrugged.
"Come on, better go find out."
She hopped out of the bed and started putting her clothes on.
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
Jack scratched his head, looking down at where the cruise ship had run into...something. A stone type something, he thought. The motors whined as they continued to try and push the ship onwards, so Jack went and turned them off.
Octavian moaned piteuosly.
"Shh...quiet."
JOnothon got out of bed with a sigh and grabbed his jeans.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled slightly, going into the bathroom and splashing his face with water, then drinking some.
"Hangover that bad?"
He then realised he's slept with Octavian again... and Jack...
Whoops.
Rebekah finished dressing, then sat back on the bed, rubbing her temples.
"Ok, can't... go... on..."
Octavian & Jonothon
Octavian whimpered, hiding his head under a pillow.
"Unless you have painkillers, go away. Ach, de lieber Gott, my head..."
Jonothon leaned into her from behind, fingers rubbing at her neck.
"That bad, eh, luv?"
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby reached into his pocket and threw Octavian his tablets.
"Always gotta think ahead."
He left the room to go see if Jack needed anything.
Rebekah nodded and moaned.
"Ok, I'll be ok. Let's go. As long as I don't have to stand up. I'll crawl."
Mirabelle woke with a start.
"Ugh, my head..."
Octavian, Jonothon & Jack
Octavian picked up the tablets and shuffled into the bathroom to take them.
Jonothon kissed the side of her neck.
"Aw."
Angelo groaned softly, hiding his head under a pillow.
"Dios en cielo..." (God in heaven)
Jack whistled slightly as he fastened the long rope around a pylon and leaned on it, testing the rope and the knot. It held, so he made a running knot around his waist and then headed over to the side. Grimacing slightly as he looked down, he climbed up onto the railing and then crossed himself.
"Rightio then."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby headed out and watched Jack.
"You need help?"
Rebekah smiled weakly and sat up.
"Ok, I'm good. But I think I need to eat something really greasy."
Mirabelle opened her eyes and wished she hadn't.
"Oh God..."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack blinked at him, then grinned.
"Find me body if I die. Nice funeral. Lots of flowers. Gold. Lots and lots of gold. Candles would be nice. And did I mention the gold?"
He half saluted, and then dropped down the side of the ship, rope running out between his fingers.
Jonothon chuckled.
"Find a kitchen, and I'll cook yer up something."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby laughed.
"Will do, Captain Jack."
Rebekah hopped to her feet, swaying slightly.
"Ok... to the kitchen. Before I die."
Jack & Jonothon
"Aye. A niiiiiice funeral. Wooden coffin. Oak, maybe. Cedar. Yeah, cedar would be nice..."
Jack sprialled down towards the water, then stopped himself, tightening the running knot so it wouldn't slip.
"WE HIT A ROCK! BIG 'UN TOO!"
Water was steadily flowing into the hull.
Jonothon helped her, putting an arm around her waist. They found the big kitchens for the whole ship and JOnothon sat her down and then went to look for food.
"Eggs...bacon, sausages, bread. Lamb's fry."
Jonothon looked out from behind the refigerator door.
"I know I liked that. Do yer like that? Because a lot of people don't."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby looked over the side.
"Ok, life boats! Come back up and we'll steal some cool stuff, load a life boat and get the hell out of here!"
Rebekah nodded, settling herself on a seat.
"Jono, at this point I'd eat a deep fried person."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack tsked and started to climb back up in a steady hand over hand movement. He swung his legs back over the railing and rubbed his bleeding hands along his pants as he looked at Bobby.
"No need to get worried yet. We've got a few hours before she goes down..."
He looked at Bobby with a speculative look.
"ACtually, ye might make that longer. Can ye freeze the water's that's coming?"
Jonothon chuckled and started to cook, deftly cracking two eggs into a pan and putting in some bacon and sausages. He started slicing up a loaf of bread while that was sizzling away to itself.
Bobby and Rebekah
"Um... I'm not that strong yet, but I can try."
Bobby shrugged.
Rebekah rested her head in her hands.
"My head..."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack slapped his hand on Bobby's back heartily and then walked to the stairs that led to below decks.
"Good lad."
"What did Elizabeth say? Rum is a vile drink..."
Jonothon put the bread in a toaster and checked on the things in the frypan, turning over the bacon and the sausages.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby headed for downstairs, reaching the bottom level and grimacing as he landed in water.
"Hmmm."
Rebekah moaned.
"Yes... and she was right. Why did you let me drink? You should've thrown it away and... and... and... locked me in a cage."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack hummed as he splashed through the water to where the leak was.
"Alright...if you can freeze the water around the leak, ye can make like a plug. Mebbe it'll hold fer a while. Mebbe."
Jonothon put the toast on the plate and slathered it in butter before sliding the eggs onto them and putting the bacon and sausages around them.
"Like I could have stopped yer. Sides, I was drunk meself."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby waded over and froze the water around the hole.
"We should get some stuff together."
Rebekah ate some of the food and groaned happily.
"Hangover disappearing..."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack nodded, looking around at the water before starting to splash his way out.
"Aye, lad. And we'll need to pack some vittles as well. T'would be pleasent to know where we are, I thinks."
"Well, good."
Jonothon smiled slightly.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby waited until Jack had left the water, then froze it as he left, body turning to ice for a moment.
"Ok, let's get some stuff. Oh, and tell everyone what's doing."
Rebekah ate half of the food, then pushed it away.
"Should we go find out what's happening?"
Jack & Jonothon
"If we can get them out of bed," Jack said.
"Most people can't handle rum a'tall. Though ye seem to be doing alright, young feller me lad."
"Possibly."
Jonothon leant over and kissed her forehead softly.
Bobby and Rebekah
"Ah, years of misspent youth, I guess. I had a lot of water before I passed out anyway. Plus, I think I can freeze off where the alcohol hit my blood stream. That one's a theory, I'll have to check with Hank. Anyway..."
Bobby followed behind Jack.
"We better tell the others. Rebekah might cut off some pleasure if we don't tell her."
Rebekah lifted her head and kissed him properly, then hopped off her stool.
"Come on, Jon, we should go find the others. If we're sinking... then I would like to know before it's too late."
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
"Aye, I see," Jack said thoughtfully as he opened the door to the cabin they'd used last night.
Octavian came out of the shower, briskly towelling his hair and another white towel hanging low on his hips. Steam was more or less pouring out of the bathroom.
"Morning."
"The ship's going down," Jack informed Octavian.
The Brit's left eyebrow barely twitched upwards, face neutral.
"Oh, really?"
"Good point."
Jonothon got up from his chair.
Bobby and Rebekah
"So, anything you wanna pilfer, go for it," Bobby suggested.
"I'll go find broody and hotness. Oh and Angelo and hotness."
He left whistling, unusually cheerful for someone who could die.
"Bek!"
Rebekah jumped, not really expecting to see Bobby so soon after they'd left the kitchen.
"Hmmm?"
"Ships going down. Pilfer away, baby!"
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
Jack grinned rogueishly.
"Let's strip her bare."
"Good idea," Octavian agreed, and went to get dressed.
"I knew something like this would happen," Jonothon annoucned.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby shrugged.
"Come on, it'll get us out of school work."
"It might get us out of life," Rebekah pointed out.
"Oh, she's a smart one Jono. A very smart one. Hold on to her. Or I will."
Bobby saluted.
"We're gonna be taking a life boat, so meet us all up on deck in about an hour."
And he was off again.
Jonothon
"God, I hate him sometimes."
Jonothon ran a hand through his hair tiredly.
"I'll start packing food, I guess."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
"I'll go... find some clothes. THese pants are too tight when I'm hung over and I may be about to die."
Rebekah leant over and kissed him softly.
"Meet you soon."
She sent a quick run down to Mirabelle telepathically.
Mirabelle looked at Angelo.
"Ok, ship is sinking. Need to get stuff we want or need... meeting up on deck in an hour."
Jonothon
Jonothon rummaged through the cupboards and found an esky, before he started packing things that would keep for a bit. Thank god they had someone with a temperature control power.
Angelo groaned, hiding his face in the pillow.
"Por favor, mio amore, tell me that is not true."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah went and explored the rooms, grabbing a bag and stuffing it with all different sorts of clothes for herself and Jono.
All black for the Brit, of course.
Mirabelle nodded.
"Afraid it is, luv. So unless you want to die young, but leave a gorgeous corpse, I suggest we get some stuff together."
Angelo
"You think I'm gorgeous?"
Angelo shook his head as he unearthed from the pillow.
"Well, I don't want to die. Though we may anyway, once Xavier lets Logan kill us."
Mirabelle
"Hey, it may not be that bad."
Mirabelle looked hopeful.
"And yes, I do think you're gorgeous. So come on, let's do this."
An hour later, the ship was significantly more slanted, and the party was located up on the top deck.
Octavian, Jack & Jonothon
"We're all going to die," Octavian said cheerfully.
"We are not," Jakc said.
"And this is all your fault," Octavian told him.
"Just doing what comes natural," Jack said, grinning as he ran his fingers through a gold chain around his neck.
"Anyway, let's get going," Jonothon sighed.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
They hopped into a lifeboat that was filled with stuff, and lowered it to the water, cutting the ropes as soon as they were in the ocean.
"Ok, Jack, take us ashore."
Rebekah leant against Jono, yawning slightly.
"This boat rocks too much."
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
"Anything for a lady," Jack said, and then went to do that thing.
Octavian yawned and closed his eyes, leaning against the side of the boat.
"Where are we anyway?"
"No idea," Jonothon said.
"Si. I don't think any of us do know," ANgelo sighed.
"Xavier is gonna kill us."
Bobby
"At least we're all optimistic," Bobby said dryly.
Soon, land came into view and they went ashore.
And that's when their powers cut out.
Octavian & Jonothon
Octavian fainted quietly as he suddenly weakened. Before he fell over the side, Jonothon grabbed his shirt and then tried to breathe through the bandages.
"Sod it."
He pulled the bandages down as Octavian collapsed on the deck.
"Well...brilliant."
Angelo ran a hand over his cheek, frowning slightly as his skin lost its usual slackness.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby suddenly felt very warm... hot in fact. He tried making some ice but to no avail.
Rebekah was silently freaking out, there were no voices and there were no emotions. She was so... normal.
Mirabelle rubbed her back as the extra veterbrae disappeared.
"O...k."
Jonothon
"Well, I'm mildly freaked," Jonothon announced.
"Wot about you lot? Hey, Tav, wake up."
He shook the smaller teen softly.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby groaned.
"How do you people stand this temperature? Oh God."
He jumped overboard and landed in the water, spashing around near the shore.
Rebekah nodded.
"This is quite strange."
She looked at Octavian.
"Maybe we could... bring him off the boat and we'll dump water on his face."
Jack & Jonothon
"Give him 'ere," Jack said to Jonothon once he had the boat secured.
Jonothon gave him to the older man and Jack climbed carefully over the hull, landing in the water with a splash before slogging it to shore.
"It's so quiet," Jonothon murmured to Bek.
Rebekah
"I know."
Rebekah leant over and kissed his neck.
"We'll work this out."
Jack & Jonothon
"C'mon, lad, wake up now," Jack murmured, quiet worry in his eyes.
"You know, Tav's probably going to be clumsy as all hell," Jonothon commented to Bek.
Rebekah
Rebekah nodded.
"Come on, let's go find somewhere to... I don't know. Sleep later?"
Jonothon & Jack
"He's going to sunburn bad," Jonothon said to Jack.
"Better get him out of the sun."
Jack nodded, picking up Octavian easily adn walking into the trees.
"Better get a camp set up while we can, too," the pirate called back to the group.
"Eh, better unpack a few things," Angelo said, sighing.
Rebekah, Mirabelle and Bobby
Rebekah followed Angelo's lead and she and Mirabelle started unpacking, taking the things ashore and setting up a camp under some trees, in the best place they found.
Bobby was wading out of the water, drenched from head to toe.
"I hate tropical weather."
Jonothon
"Diddums," Jonothon said, pausing for a moment, before continuing on his way with a box.
"Come and help, lazy."
Bobby
Bobby obediently went and helped and before long, everything they needed was unpacked, and a hut type building had been built.
"And who says mutants are hopeless?"
Jonothon & Jack
"We're smashing."
Jonothon looked over the hut, smiling faintly.
Jack looked up from where he was sitting next to the still unconscious Octavian, small worried frown sitting between his eyebrows.
"I'm worried. Ye all seem to be fine, but Tav still hasn't opened his eyes."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby walked over.
"It's his mutation. Usually he's very... for lack of a better word, suave. Enhanced healing factor and all. But now he's just a normal guy, and while we've had our whole lives to be like this and get used to it, the sudden shock of it has probably hit him hard. He'll be ok in a few hours, as long as we make sure he eats when he wakes up."
He paused, noting Rebekah's look.
"Hank's my best friend, I don't tune him out all the time."
Jack
"I hope ye are right, lad, I really do," Jack said softly.
He looked up.
"Anyway."
Bobby and Rebekah
"Anyway, can I get back in the water, it's freaking hot!"
Bobby pulled his shirt off, and jeans, and ran into the water in his boxers.
Rebekah made a face.
"Something I could have lived without."
JOnothon & Jack
"Agreed," Jonothon said, looking away with distaste.
Angelo just kissed Mirabelle.
Jack grinned.
"Oh, but why, when the lad has such a nice arse?"
Mirabelle and Rebekah
Mirabelle kissed Angelo back.
Rebekah shuddered.
"He does not."
Jack
"Oh, but he does, lass," Jack said, lying back in the sand.
He kept an eye on Octavian's condition.
"Just like you've got a nice set of breasts. And legs."
Rebekah
Rebekah looked like she was going to slap him, then decided against it.
"Anyway..."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack grinned roguishly, hand drifting through the sand and gathering it up to let it fall through his fingers.
"Here we are, and stranded, apparently. The food will only last so long, too."
Jonothon nodded slightly.
"It looks like we might be able to find some, here. The island looks...pleasant enough."
"Maybe, vato, but do we know how to find it? I think not," Angelo said.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Well, we could fish for it! I pilfered fishing equipment!" Bobby yelled from the water.
"There's one way," Rebekah said.
"Come on, let's go take a look around," Mirabelle suggested.
Jack & Octavian
"Ye go do that, lass," Jack said, watching Octavian's eyelids flicker, then open.
"Back with us, lad?"
"Someone kill me," Octavian moaned softly.
"I feel like I'm dead anyway."
Rebekah
"Welcome to the world of the weak," Rebekah said cheerfully.
"Come on Jono, let's go look around."
Octavian & Jonothon
"I hate you," Octavian declared weakly.
He felt too heavy to move and he closed his eyes again.
"Do you people feel like this all the time? Oh god..."
Jonothon patted Octavian's head softly.
"Buck up, mate. Yeah, why not?"
He walked over to Bek and kissed her gently.
"Let's see wot we've got."
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed him back and took his hand, ducking under some low hanging branches of a palm tree.
"Bobby's right, it is actually quite hot. Hotter for him, I guess, but still, hot."
Jonothon
"Yeah," Jonothon agreed.
"Cold England this is not."
He wiped sweat off his forehead and sighed.
Rebekah
Rebekah twisted her hair back and tied it up loosely, walking slowly through the sand.
"I vote the whole swimming thing later."
Jonothon
"Good idea."
They fell into silence for a bit, walking along the beach together.
"God, this is too hot."
Rebekah
"Agreed."
Rebekah peeled her shirt off, then her pants and ran into the water.
Jonothon
Jonothon hesitated on the shore, glancing back behind him to where they'd left the others.
"Bek..."
Rebekah
"Jono, underwear is basically swimwear... and I don't think anyone will really notice... oh yeah, you don't wear underwear..."
Rebekah wiggled her eyebrows, then ducked under the water.
She resurfaced and brushed her hair from her eyes.
"Lucky me."
Jonothon
"I just..."
Jonothon stuck his hands in his jeans.
"It's indecent. And I'm British. Subliminal training working against this 'ere."
Rebekah
"Ah, but I'm slutty and French."
Rebekah beckoned him to come in, pouting slightly.
Jonothon
"You know, as soon as I strip off and get in the water, Bobby's gonner come looking," Jonothon said.
He peeled off his shirt slowly, and then unwrapped the rest of his bandages.
Rebekah
Rebekah just pouted.
Jonothon
"F*ck all, I'm coming, orright?"
Jonothon slid his jeans down and off his hips, leaving them on the sand before he went into the water.
Rebekah
Rebekah swam over to him and kissed him gently, hands tangling in his hair.
"Yay."
Jonothon
Jonothon kissed her softly, then looked back over his shoulder in apprehension.
"I guess."
Rebekah
Rebekah pushed his hair out of his eyes.
"No guessing. I hope we can get back to New York. While this is nice, I don't fancy giving birth here."
Jonothon
"No, that would not be good," JOnothon agreed.
He kissed the side of her neck gently.
"We'll be found before then, I think."
Rebekah
"Hopefully."
Rebekah kissed him gently and led them out to deeper water, where she was floating, but Jono could still touch the ground.
Jonothon
Jonothon put his hands on her hips to steady her.
"It's nice out here though. Wherever here is."
Rebekah
"Still curious why our powers are gone though."
Rebekah rested her head on his shoulder, floating in front of him.
Jonothon
"Oh, I think it has some benefits."
Jonothon smiled at her.
Rebekah
Rebekah laughed slightly.
"Oui, indeed. Still, haven't felt like this in a long time."
Jonothon
"Yeah..."
Jonothon looked thoughtful.
"It's quiet, isn't it?"
Rebekah
"Oui, feels so... I mean, it has it's benefits, I'm not hearing Bobby's thoughts or feeling him, Jack and Tav..."
Rebekah wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Just different, I guess."
Jonothon
Jonothon blinked slightly as he put his arms around her.
"I guess."
He nuzzled her neck lightly.
Rebekah and Bobby
"How strange."
Rebekah kissed him softly.
"Bek and Jono are getting frisky in the water," Bobby announced, rejoining the group.
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
Jonothon kissed her back, one hand sliding over her back.
"That's not strange," Jack said.
"If I had a lass like that, I probably would too."
Octavian managed to get himself into a sitting position, teeth clenched in frustration.
"I f*cking hate this feeling, and I want to it to stop. I don't like feeling weak."
Rebekah, Mirabelle and Bobby
Rebekah slid her hand down and lightly grazed Jono's crotch.
Mirabelle nudged Angelo.
"Feel like exploring? We'll avoid Bek and Jono though."
Bobby clicked.
"Ah..."
He darted into the hut and brought out some fresh water and some fruit.
"Eat and drink this. Get your sugar up."
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
Jonothon moaned softly into her ear.
"Bek..."
"Thank you, BObby," Octavian murmured, taking the fruit and water from him.
He raised an eyebrow as they were heavier then he expected, and he nearly dropped them.
"Oh, I truly loathe this."
Jack nuzzled at Octavian's neck softly.
"Ye will get back to normal when we get out of whatever it is."
"God, I hope so..."
Angelo nodded, taking her hand and leading her in the opposite direction.
"Good idea."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah kissed Jono's neck, sliding her hand over his length.
Bobby plopped down on the sand, combing his fingers through his hair, making it spikey.
Mirabelle followed along, bending to take her shoes off as they walked over the sand.
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
Jonothon gasped quietly, pulling her in closer to him.
"F*cking hell..."
He nuzzled at her neck desperately, biting gently with his teeth.
Octavian nibbled at the fruit delicately, looking at Bobby.
"Did we figure out where we are?"
"Nay," Jack sighed, flopping back onto the sand.
"We're not lost though. Just misplaced."
"Oh, well, that makes it all better then," the blond said snarkily.
Angelo watched her, smiling slightly.
"Well, a lot of people pay to go on this type of vacation..."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah pushed her panties to the side, then slid onto Jono's length, kissing him hard as she did so.
Bobby shook his head.
"We're somewhere where our powers have disappeared. I think Storm mentioned that this could happen in... somewhere, but I can't remember."
Mirabelle nodded.
"True, it is rather picturesque."
Jonothon & Jack
Jonothon bucked up into her heat, moaning softly.
"Bek..."
"Useful, let me know if ye remember more," Jack said.
"I've sailed most places, and this world can't be that different to mine."
"But far too hot," Angelo said.
"And not enough staff."
He grinned at her.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah moaned kissing him deeply as she tightened around him.
Bobby's eyes glazed over.
"I remember that was the day Storm wore leather pants..."
Mirabelle laughed.
"Poor Angelo, would you like me to serve you?"
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
"Oh f*ck..."
Jonothon kissed her hard, grinding against her slowly.
"Ah, the curvaceous Storm and her leather pants," Octavian said.
Jack tilted his head slightly.
"Was that the mulatto wench with white hair?"
"Actually, I think she's fully African," Octavian said.
"And don't call her a wench where she can hear you. Warning given in advance."
Angelo raised an eyebrow at her.
"Maybe."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah closed her eyes, biting on his lips as she came.
Bobby chuckled and lay down on the sand.
"Ah Storm, hottest teacher ever."
Mirabelle kissed his nose.
"And maybe I will. Later."
Jonothon & Octavian
Jonothon moaned into her mouth, hands gripping her hips tightly as he came.
"Oh, Bek..."
"Very true," Octavian murmured, lying down again and putting his hand over his eyes.
"Someone should tell Jean that she should not wear hipster pants."
"Oh, now I'm all curious," Angelo said.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah kissed Jono again softly, then hooked herself from around Jono.
"Love you."
Bobby glanced at Tav.
"Jean in hipsters, ewwwwww."
Mirabelle grinned.
"And so you should be... hey, look..."
She pointed to the clearing they'd wandered in, which was lush and green, with a sparkling clear lake.
"Let's hope this is fresh water."
Jonothon & Octavian
"Love you too," Jonothon murmured against her lips before he kissed her again.
"Didn't you see her that day? It was quite horrific," Octavian said.
"Yeah, because we're gonna need something to drink when the bottled water runs out," Angelo said.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah smiled and kissed him back.
"Mmm, so..."
Bobby shuddered.
"Nah, I've been jigging off Jean's classes for a few weeks now."
Mirabelle sighed.
"Hopefully we'll be found before then."
Jonothon & Octavian
Jonothon smiled faintly.
"Yeah, luv?"
"Oh, good for you," Octavian said.
"And what does Hank think about that?"
"Si," Angelo agreed.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah licked at the salt water on his neck.
"Nothing, just a 'so' in general."
Bobby shrugged.
"He disapproves, of course."
Mirabelle squeezed Angelo's hand lightly.
"Guess we could try and hunt out any sources of food."
Jonothon & Octavian
"I see."
Jonothon closed his eyes and rested his forehead against hers lightly.
"Ah, the esteemable doctor," Octavian said lightly.
"How are you going in your chess games with him? Still getting roundly trounced?"
"Si," Angelo agreed.
He looked up as a flash of colour exploded from a tree, screeching.
"At least there are birds."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah kissed him softly.
"Want to hop out and - oh my god!"
She squealed as she stepped on a sea slug.
"Ok, we go now!"
She screeched as she stepped on another one.
"Ok, we stay now!"
Bobby frowned.
"He still beats me, but eh... he can't beat me at PS2 yet."
Mirabelle jumped as the birds startled her.
"Indeed."
Jonothon & Octavian
Jonothon chuckled and picked her up before stepping gingerly to shore.
"Awwww...diddums..."
"Good," Octavian murmured, looking at Bobby through his lashes.
"I think it may actually have something to do with the shape of his hands as opposed to the shape of the controller..."
"Birds means they have to eat something," Angelo said.
"Chances are we can eat that something."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah looked freaked out.
"They were... oh my God, what if they have teeth? What if they crawl up into our hut and bite! And, and, and, and kill me?"
Bobby pouted.
"No! Let's not take away my PS2 victory!"
Mirabelle nodded.
"Good point."
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
"They were sea slugs," Jonothon said patiently.
"And very few sea things can come onto land without dying."
"Alright then..." Octavian chuckled.
Jack listened to their conversation, smiling faintly.
"This world has such things in it..."
Angelo took her hand again and tugged her towards the lake.
"The water looks clean."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah shuddered and then kissed him gently.
"They were gross."
Bobby started to build a sandcastle.
"Why oh why is it so hot here?"
Mirabelle let Angelo lead her.
"It does. And ooh, fish!"
Jonothon & Octavian
"Diddums," Jonothon teased gently as he put her down on the sand.
"Because it is?" Octavian said, shrugging.
"Far too hot, I agree."
Angelo chuckled softly.
"We can probably eat them."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah poked her tongue out at them.
"They, were disgusting."
Bobby yawned.
"What time do you think it is?"
Mirabelle turned and kissed Angelo's cheek softly.
"We probably can. Anyway, want to keep going?"
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
"Diddums," Jonothon said again.
"They have to live somewhere, you know. And you're the one who stepped on them."
"No idea, don't really care," Octavian said.
Jack looked up at the sun, then at the shadows of the trees.
"Bout three bells."
"Why not?" Angelo said.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah was about to argue when she heard a faint song coming from the water. She furrowed her eyebrows, then with a determined look, she went back into the water and dived under, resurfacing moments later with a young girl.
Bobby nodded.
"Fair enough."
Mirabelle took Angelo's hand again and they started walking.
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
"Jesus!" Jonothon yelped and scrambled for his pants.
"Where the hell did she come from?!"
Jack tilted his hat back over his eyes and then pulled Octavian closer.
"Siesta time."
Octavian laid his head against Jack's chest and closed his eyes wearily. He just felt so...tired.
Angelo hummed softly as they walked, looking around the trees.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah came out of the water, the young girl following her.
She looked about eight, and was dressed in a pale blue body suit. She fixed her clear blue eyes on Jono and smiled slightly.
"I am Delfina," she said, her voice tinkling.
Bobby crawled into the hut and went to sleep.
Mirabelle looked around.
"Nice."
Jonothon
"Luvverly to meet yer," Jonothon said, buckling his jeans.
"God, my heart nearly stopped...again."
"It is," Angelo agreed, looking at her.
"But you're nicer."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah smiled.
"I'm Rebekah, and this is Jono. Where did you come from?"
Delfina bowed her head slightly.
"The ocean. We, delfies, live underwater, and we serve the mer- people."
"Awww," Mirabelle kissed him.
"Sweet."
Jonothon
"Serve how?" Jonothon asked.
"Su beso es entonces una miel más dulce," Angelo said, then kissed her again. (Your kiss is sweeter then honey)
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah shivered and grabbed her clothes, dressing quickly.
Delfina looked at her feet for a moment.
"We are enslaved."
Mirabelle kissed him back.
Jonothon
Jonothon frowned.
"That's not good. Where are these merpeople?"
Angelo sighed into her mouth, hands coming up to run through her hair gently.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Some have travelled away from here, but there is a colony under the ocean," Delfina replied.
"Why do you stay?" Rebekah asked softly.
"We do not fight a destiny that is handed down to us. We live to serve, for that is our purpose."
Mirabelle brushed her fingers across his cheek.
Jonothon
"You bloody well should fight it!" Jonothon exclaimed.
"Slavery's not right."
Angelo kissed her more deeply, closing his eyes.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah put her hand on Jono's as Delfina flinched back.
"We have not the power. It was taken from us many years ago, and now, there are but few of us who know the legend to tell it."
Rebekah's eyes slid closed as Delfina painted a picture in their minds, telling of a sacred power gem, stolen from the delfies by the mers.
Mirabelle kissed him back, hands sliding around his neck.
Jonothon
"F*cking bastards," Jonothon spat, eyes gleaming with anger.
Few things made him angrier then things like this.
Angelo slid his hands down to cup her ass, pulling her against him as he kissed her.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah stepped a little closer to Delfina.
"Can we help you?" she asked softly.
"I had hoped you could. That is why I called to you, because you understand."
Mirabelle moaned into his mouth, sliding a hand down his pants.
Jonothon
"How? We're more or less helpless at the moment," Jonothon said.
Angelo bucked into her hand, moaning softly as he ground against her.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Delfina cocked her head slightly and Rebekah nodded, understanding.
"Because it's not our powers that would help..."
Mirabelle licked at his lips, sliding her hand firmly over him.
Jonothon
"Someone explain to me, since I'm clueless," Jonothon said.
Angelo moaned, sliding his hands inside her pants.
"Muchacha maravillosa, te amo..." (Wonderful girl, I love you)
Rebekah and Mirabelle
"I'm not too sure on the details, but we're being asked to find the gem. And it's..."
Rebekah paused.
"Not underwater. At the moment."
Delfina nodded.
"It is hidden on this island, and we cannot find it ourselves, because we cannot be out of water for too long."
Mirabelle gasped and kissed him deeply.
"I... love you."
Jonothon
"What does it look like, exactly?" Jonothon asked.
"We'll look for it."
Angelo murmured Spanish endearments against her skin as he kissed down her neck, hands undoing her pants and pushing them down off her hips. He dropped to his knees and licked along her slowly.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Delfina could only shake her head.
"I do not know. It was lost to our people so long ago... but this... you will know it when you see it."
Delfina started to slide back into the water, shifting into dolphin as she did so.
Mirabelle moaned.
"Ah, Angelooo..."
Jonothon
"This is f*cked up," Jonothon said, watching her.
Angelo slid his tongue into her slowly.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah watched as Delfina swam away.
"I know, that just freaked my shit out. Anyway, there's not much we can do now, it's starting to get dark."
Mirabelle gasped and spread her legs a little more.
Jonothon
"Yeah, I guess," Jonothon said.
His stomach rumbled loudly and he sighed.
"Dinner would be good."
Angelo flicked his tongue over her lightly, sliding a finger into her.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah leant over and kissed Jono's cheek.
"And a change of clothes. Come on, chevalier noir."
Mirabelle panted, closing her eyes.
Jonothon
Jonothon bent and picked up his shirt and boots.
"Alright."
Angelo hummed against her, sliding another finger inside her.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah and Jono walked back to the camp.
Mirabelle's eyes rolled back in her head as she came, steadying herself on a tree.
Jonothon
"Everyone's asleep," Jonothon remarked, looking at where Jack and Octavian were sprawled in the shade.
"Where's Bobby? Angelo and Mira, I don't want to know..."
Angelo licked her clean then stood, cleaning his fingers with sweeps of his tongue.
"So sweet..."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah laughed.
"Yeah. I'm with you on that."
Bobby stuck his head out of the hut.
"Is it dinner time?"
Mirabelle grinned and bent down, undoing Angelo's pants and licking at his length.
Jonothon
"Soon, maybe," Jonothon said, going to the food and looking through it for the most perishable things.
Angelo moaned softly, hips thrusting forward slightly.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah went into the hut and kicked Bobby out as she changed into the clothes she'd taken. She dressed in loose dirty denim jeans, and a long sleeved white shirt. It was starting to get colder on the island.
Bobby grumbled as he was kicked out. He grabbed his clothes and put them on.
Mirabelle took him into her mouth, humming slightly.
JOnothon
Jonothon grabbed a lighter and started to make a fire.
"We'll eat as much of the meat as we can before it goes off."
"Mira!"
Angelo put a hand over his mouth, holding back another yell.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah came out of the hut carrying some fresh clothes for Jono.
"Here, yours are all wet."
Bobby nodded and started to help with the fire.
Mirabelle took him further in her mouth.
Jonothon
"Ta, luv."
Jonothon took the clothes, then went to get changed.
Angelo closed his eyes, biting his lip.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah started to cook the meat, using the pan someone had thought to take.
Mirabelle reached up and rolled his balls in her fingers.
Jack
Jack came awake with a muttered exclaimation, sitting up. He blinked at Bek, then grinned.
"Good, good."
Angelo gasped, throwing his head back as he came.
"Mira, te amore..."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
"You make a single comment and I'll strange you in your sleep," Rebekah said.
Mirabelle swallowed and licked her lips, standing up.
"It's kinda dark, should we go back?"
Jack
Jack got up, and swaggered over to her, eyes gleaming with mischeif.
"Ah, ye wound me to the quick, lass. I'm a perfectly dishonest man, I am. And ye can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest, honestly."
"Si," Angelo agreed faintly as he did up his pants.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah turned to Jack and shook her head.
"Be useful and wake Octavian up, ok? He might have sunstroke."
Mirabelle kissed him gently, then led him to the camp.
Jack & Octavian
"As ye say, wench," Jack said, putting two hands together in front of his face and bowing slightly as he backed away.
"Hey, lad, wake up."
Octavian came to slowly, blinking eyelids that felt too heavy.
"It wasn't a dream, was it?"
"Nay, 'twas not."
"Damn."
Angelo scratched his head slightly, letting Mirabelle lead him.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah stood back and let Bobby cook as she went to get a jacket.
"It's suddenly really cold," she said to Jono as she entered the hut.
Mirabelle shivered as they reached camp and wrapped her arms around her chest.
Jonothon
Jonothon put his arms around her and swayed her gently.
"Aw, diddums."
Angelo put his arm around her shoulder.
"Cold?" he asked softly.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
"You've made a habit of saying that, haven't you, mon chevalier noir?"
Rebekah kissed him softly.
"Ok, I put our stuff over here, thank God, Bobby thought about his comfort for once and stole all those air mattresses and pumps, along with bedding. He's not completely stupid."
Mirabelle nodded.
"A little. Want to sit by the fire?"
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
Jonothon smiled.
"You keep doing things then whining about them. Diddums."
He kissed her neck.
"Lucky I love you."
Jack looked at Octavian, then reached down to help the teen to his feet. Octavian tripped and cursed fluently in German, voice angry and frustated at his lack of co-ordination.
"It will be alright, lad," Jack said in a reassuring voice.
Octavian glared.
"When the air stops feeling so heavy on me and I can walk without tripping over my own two feet, then it may be."
Angelo nodded as they walked over to the fire.
"So, what's for dinner, mano?"
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah turned and kissed him softly.
"I am."
She reached for her jacket and put it on.
Bobby looked up at Angelo.
"Steak. And potatoes. And vegetables."
Mirabelle sat down near the fire, rubbing her arms.
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
Jonothon smiled at her before going out of the hut.
"Sounds good," Angelo said.
Jack helped Octavian sit down without falling into the fire.
"I f*cking hate this," he said in a low voice, hand clenching into a fist.
"I should at least be able to *walk* without assistance."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah followed after him and went to sit next to Mirabelle.
Bobby started to serve the food up.
MIrabelle accepted her food.
"Thanks."
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
JOnothon took his plate and nodded slightly at Bobby.
"Ta, mate."
Angelo took his, inclining his head in thanks before he started to eat. Jack took his and Octavian's, leaning back on the sand.
"Just like being back in the Caribbean."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah ate her dinner, staring out at the ocean, watching the waves rippling.
Bobby moved away from the fire and sat with Jack and Octavian.
Mirabelle sighed slightly.
"It is rather nice. Except for the whole no powers, stranded thing."
Octavian & Jonothon
"People go in competitions to do things like this," Angelo pointed out.
"They also have a million dollars to look forward to at the end of it," Octavian retorted.
"Such a stupid show," Jonothon said in distaste.
"People in general are stupid," Octavian said, nodding his head.
He chewed slowly, then swallowed.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah ate slowly, letting the sand trickle through her toes.
"You ok?" MIrabelle asked.
"Hmm? Yeah, just thinking."
Octavian & Jonothon
"Unusual for you, Bek," Octavian said.
Jonothon glared at him.
"I know you're hurting right now, so I won't make you hurt more."
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah ignored Octavian, and they all finished dinner.
"So... ghost stories?" Bobby grinned.
Jonothon
"Sure, why not?" Jonothon said, putting an arm around Bek's waist.
"Fitting and all."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah leant back against Jono, and accepted the blankets and pillows Mirabelle had gone to get for everyone.
Bobby clapped and snuggled under a blanket with Jack and Tav.
"Ok, who wants to start? Coz I can't think of any."
Mirabelle put the pillow behind Angelo and then sat between his legs, pulling the blanket around them.
Jack & Octavian
Jack rested his head on his hand, watching the flames.
"Well, my story, everybody apparently already knows."
"Yes, but you were the very sexy pirate," Octavian purred, putting one hand on Bobby's shoulder and wriggling closer to Jack.
"God, stop it! Public!" Angelo exclaimed.
Octavian looked at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't knock sex in public until you've tried it. Wait, you have."
Rebekah
"Moving along..." Rebekah said.
"I don't know, Tav, you're a good story teller, go for it."
Octavian
Octavian tsked slightly, leaning back into Jack.
"Alright. Hmm..."
He thought for a few moments, hand rubbing over Bobby's shoulder gently, before he started to tell a ghost story. Some of the darker scenes were quite macabre and he took a great deal of pleasure in detailing the horrible ways the characters were killed by the vengeful spirit, voice winding with the sound of the waves and the flames.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah shuddered, pulling Jono's arm tighter around her waist.
Bobby giggled.
"Cool."
Mirabelle rested her head on Angelo's chest.
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
"You are a sick bastard," Jonothon pronounced after a pause.
"Thank you," Octavian said, smiling before he kissed Jack slowly.
"Wicked thing," Jack murmured when they broke off for air.
Angelo rubbed Mirabelle's shoulders gently.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah leant up and kissed Jono.
"Hmmmm, I don't think we can top that," Bobby mused.
"Songs? Bek, Jono, token musicians, I'm looking your way."
Jonothon
"Seeing as I can't sing and there are no drums, I guess the music from me is a no," Angelo said.
Jonothon rolled his eyes, kissing Bek's neck.
"How about...no, Bobby?"
Bobby and Rebekah
"Come on, Jonooooo," Bobby whined.
Rebekah smiled and leant against Jono.
Octavian & Jonothon
"Whining is still unattractive, even when it's you, Bobby," Octavian said, before he licked at Bobby's ear.
"Why do you want us to sing?" Jonothon asked.
Bobby
"Because there's not much else to do? Unless..." Bobby eyes glittered.
"We have rum? Then we can skinny dip!"
Octavian, Jack & Jonothon
"Oh, you don't need to get me drunk for that," Octavian drawled.
"Where is the rum, by the by, lad?" Jack asked with interest.
"No skinny dipping!" Jonothon exclaimed.
Bobby
"In the hut," Bobby replied.
"Come on, show us your balls!"
Jack & Jonothon
"Right."
Jack got up and went to get the rum.
Jonothon glared at Bobby and hugged Bek.
"Sod off and *die*."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled.
"Come on, Jono baby!"
Rebekah snuggled into Jono's arms.
"I can't drink. Pregnant."
Jack & Jonothon
"Not drinking, rum is drink of the devil," Angelo said solemnly as Jack came back.
He put a bottle down by Mirabelle and Angelo, before going to give one to Bobby and another to Octavian, before settling back down and opening his with a satisfied sigh.
"How can ye not like rum? Nancy."
Jack tilted his head back as he drank steadily. Angelo raised an eyebrow slightly.
"No," Jonothon told Bobby.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby pouted.
"Oh well..."
He took a swig of rum.
Rebekah turned and kissed Jono gently, pulling the blanket completely around them.
Mirabelle shook her head.
"No, we don't have comfortable beds to sleep our hangovers off in."
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
"Your loss," Jack said, drinking more rum.
"More for us."
Octavian opened the bottle Jack handed to him and drank some of it slowly.
Jonothon pulled Bek into his arms and kissed her slowly.
Rebekah
Rebekah wrapped her arms around Jono's neck and kissed him back, moving into his lap.
Octavian, Jack & Jonothon
Octavian swallowed more rum, then blinked slowly.
"Well, that's kicking in faster then it usually does."
Jack chuckled, a wickedly sweet and husky sound before rubbing his hand over Octavian's leg.
"Well, what did ye expect, really?"
Jonothon slid one hand up her top, kissing her gently.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah moved her hand down into Jono's pants and rubbed softly.
"Love you," she whispered.
Bobby put his rum down.
"You know, skinny dipping probably isn't the wisest idea in case we get sick, coz Hank's not here."
Octavian & Jonothon
"Good point," Octavian said.
"Especially since I won't heal as quickly as I usually do. How banal."
He grimaced, then knocked back more rum.
Jonothon moaned softly.
"Love you too, pet."
He slid a hand down the front of her pants and rubbed gently.
Angelo kissed Mirabelle's neck gently.
"Want to go?"
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah moaned into his mouth, grasping his length and sliding.
"God..."
Mirabelle nodded and stood up.
"Hut?"
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
Jack reached out an arm and pulled Bobby closer gently.
"Staying, lad? Or wandering off?"
He raised an eyebrow, eyes dangerously dark. Octavian smiled slightly, blond hair falling across his face in a golden veil, lit by firelight.
Jonothon moaned softly, thrusting into her hand slowly as he rubbed her gently.
"Si."
Angelo got up and they went into the hut.
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
Rebekah bit her lip, closing her eyes.
"God, Jono..." she murmured.
Bobby leant against Jack, yawning.
"Tired. But staying."
Mirabelle wrapped her arms around Angelo's neck and kissed him softly.
Jack & Jonothon
"Oh, good..."
Jack leant in and kissed Bobby slowly.
Jonothon kissed her again, hand not stopping its movements.
Angelo kissed her and then drew her down onto the air matress.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby kissed him back.
Rebekah unzipped Jono's pants and slowly slid her hand further over his length.
Mirabelle laughed slightly and kissed his neck.
Jonothon, Jack & Octavian
So, everyone had sex. A few times at the very least. It was all good, all sex, all the time. The end.
