A/N: Hello readers. If there are any... lol I've finally posted something! After years of reading and wishing I can be as awesometacular as the authors on here, I've finally got the courage to post. I would first like to apologize for any grammatical errors or flaws structure-wise… English is not really my forte. Second, this story is based off of the movie Original Sin, which is based off of a novel. I recently watched this and thought, Romy! I seem to always do that with movies… Do you? I have changed stuff around of course, to accommodate for powers. As for updates…I really want to get this out to you guys as soon as I can. I have the first few chapters written and am hoping to update twice a week. Anyway on with the show…

Disclaimer: I most certainly do not own Marvel or anything to do with the movie Original Sin.

New Orleans, 1915

"It's too late to talk some sense into de boy now!"

"Remy, mon frere, listen! You can't go marryin' a complete stranger!"

Henri Lebeau was following his younger brother to the front door, along with their Tante Mattie.

"You never even met de fille!" He exclaimed as his brother stood in front of the mirror adjusting his tie. Tante Matte smacked him with a dish towel and instructed him to turn around so she can fix his tie properly. A big grin was on her face.

"De infamous Remy Lebeau finally settlin' down. Never thought I'd see de day." She laughed as he grinned at her.

"I'm meeting her today." He said to his brother, who was less than pleased with that answer.

Remy adjusted his suit jacket as Tante Mattie instructed the carriage to the front door. As they exited Remy continued, "Meet her at 8, get married at 9 and be back at work by 10."

"Remy! Dis is ridiculous, what would Pere say?"

Remy groaned "It's a wife, isn't dat what y'all been telling me I should get? He'd be proud. Finally settlin' down, business doin' better den ever."

Henri sighed. "At least tell me you know what de fille looks like."

Remy pulled out a photograph from his coat pocket and handed it to him as Tante Mattie attempted to fix his hair.

"Merde. De least you could've done was pick a looker. She's not beautiful." He exclaimed as he looked at the picture.

"Thought dem northern women were supposed to be tres belle." He continued to rant as Remy climbed into the carriage.

"Comes a day in every man's life when the band is playing and he's de only man who can't hear it." Tante Matte snatched the photograph from Henri and handed it to Remy through the carriage window.

"Today is your day." He took the photograph and beamed at her.

"I love y' woman." He laughed as he kissed her cheek.

Henri looked up at him and shook his head. "She is not beautiful!"

"She's not meant to be beautiful. She's meant to be kind, true and young enough to bear children. Beauty would just be a distraction."

"Hurry up chile! Dat boat gonna be coming in soon!" Tante and Henri stood by the carriage.

"What about love, Remy? Doesn't love play a part into all dis? Jus look at me and Mercy…"

Remy shook his head, "Love isn't for me Henri. It's for those who believe in it."

Henri looked into his brother's eyes, wondering if he could still convince him to not marry the woman.

Remy shrugged and tapped the carriage door signaling the driver to go.

"Dis is it." He took one last look at Henri and Tante Mattie. Henri looked sullen and Tante was laughing.

"Y' been laughing all mornin' Tante!"

"Oh nevermind, Go!" she waved happily.

Remy turned around and took one last look at the photograph before putting it back into his jacket pocket.

"Here we go..." He said to himself before taking a deep breath, nervously waiting till he reached the docks where he would meet the woman he'd spend the rest of his life with.

A/N: I know it's really short, next one is gonna be way longer.

Up next- the meeting and a wedding
