Memories

Pairings: Logan/Remy

Disclaimer: I do not own either Logan or Remy. Gus, Lamb and Parker however are my own characters and if there is a Marvel character by those names it is purely coincidental

It had happened. Logan's worst nightmare. It hadn't taken long; a friend of Remy's had shown up on the doorstep of the mansion.

**Flashback**

The insistent knocking at 3 in the morning had Logan, Storm, Beast, Bobby, Marie, Kitty and Piotr standing at the door ready for one of two things. One: a runaway teenager whose mutation had developed or two: a fight.

They were shocked dumb when Piotr pulled the door back and Logan said:

"Gus?"

"Logan. I have to speak with you." The man said. Logan nodded and everyone stepped back to let Gus in.

"Gus, what happened?"

"Remy... was killed. We did all we could but the damage was just too extensive. Severe lacerations, head trauma, internal bleeding."

"How?" Logan demanded.

"Anti-mutant attack. He's not been well. He's had pneumonia; they jumped him from behind. He managed to get a message to us. When we found him he wasn't in a good way. He was in a coma for three days. His heart just gave out. He went into cardiac arrest several times. We had no choice, together the three of us made the decision to turn off life support. I tried to call but it said your number was disconnected. I should have come sooner."

"No. He needed you. You did the right thing." Logan said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Gus nodded.

"There's something else. Remy wanted to be brought back here. He wanted to be brought back to you."

"Logan?" Marie asked. He looked at her and smiled a sad smile.

"I knew Remy a long time ago. He'd be, wow, in his forty's now."

"Were you... together?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, Logan." She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back and saw the tears forming in the eyes of both Kitty and Storm. He and Gus had made arrangements with the help of Storm and Hank as well as Parker and Lamb, who were in New Orleans with Remy's body, to have him transported here. After three hours it had been sorted and Logan was sitting on the bench on his window ledge. The tears he would never admit to shedding rolled down his cheeks.

**End flashback**

Logan stood, Marie holding his right hand and Lamb gripping the other. Tears flowed freely down Lamb's face as Parker wrapped his arms around her waist and held her. Gus spoke words, all things about Remy, happy memories. Logan refused to cry, Remy would have poked him in the gut and laughed in his face had he cried. Slowly the coffin was lowered into the ground, next to the newly erected headstone, that read simply Remy LeBeau, Gambit, friend and lover. Gus and Parker filled the hole with dirt and Logan placed a single deck of cards on top. The same deck he'd given Remy nearly 20 years prior. Everyone slowly moved away from the grave. Logan, Lamb, Parker and Gus were the last people to leave, no one looking back except Logan. Who let one tear slip down his cheek before he smiled. It would be hard, Logan knew this, but he also knew that Remy would move on if it were the other way around.

A/N. I decided that during the funeral scene, the song they played was You Found Me by The Fray.
