This is my fist story ever that I've ever written. I don't usually write. I consider myself more along the lines of a muse more than anything. I have tons of ideas for stories but I just don't have the patience to write them down. If anyone needs inspiration feel free to contact me. Please forgive me with any errors in grammar. I will try my best. Flames are welcome, but please be gentle…..it's my first time.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Characters. Marvel does. Wish I did though.

" So, it's safe to say that this entire mission was a complete waste of time!"

The statement took both gentleman by surprise. Remy and Logan were both reclining on the couches in the sitting area that adjourned their hotel room suites. They had just returned from trying to recruit a young mutant that Cerebro detected in Las Vegas. They both were tired, worn and just trying to get a breather but from the outburst that came from their other companion they new it just wasn't going to happen.

Jean usually kept a positive attitude about recruiting and…. well…..just about everything else in general. She always saw the good side in things. She was the glass half full kind of girl. Yet here she was, pacing the room like a mad woman and exclaiming that their entire journey was a complete waste. Both men shared a knowing look.

It was no secret that things were becoming strained between Jean and her husband Scott. It also was no secret that that strain was caused by a certain Miss Emma Frost, whom recently joined the team. Emma didn't try to hide her attraction toward Scott. In fact sometimes she down right flaunted it…… along with flaunting other assets she possessed. She especially loved to do it when Jean was present. Scott never reciprocated, yet he didn't ignore her all together either.

Remy and Logan both cared a great deal for Jean. Both as a teammate and a friend. They didn't want to see her upset. Okay, they mostly didn't want to see her upset because Scott wasn't around and they didn't want her to vent her frustrations out on them.

Intervention was in order!

"Darlin' y'okay?" Logan asked her.

"I'm fine," she replied. Her tone a slightly agitated one. "Why do you ask?"

"Well….ya looking' kinda tense there."

"I'm fine Logan. I just can't believe that we came all the way to Nevada just to go home empty handed! Sometimes I don't know why we even bother to tryand recruit new mutants! It's obvious that mutants aren't interested in our cause! But boy will they be sorry if Magneto takes over or the FOH gains more power! We have to realize that we have to make do with what we have. We could be at home! I mean we do have lives as well. We can't be out chasing down mutants that don't want anything to do with us, let alone appreciate all that we do and have done for them…..blah blah blah blah blah….."

Gambit inwardly groaned!'Why did Logan have to ask!' he thought to himself. He turned towards the Canadian and shot him with a dirty look. Logan in turnmerely grunted. From the look on his face Remy new that Logan wasn't going to put to an end the rant that Jean was on. Remy chuckled inwardly, ' Dat man filled wit so much love for ol' Jeannie he'd listen to her bitch all night if it made her happy'. He glanced toward Jean. 'Merde, she don' look like she goin' let up any time soon,' he thought to himself. 'Forget dat!'

Remy let out a cough. One that clearly indicated that he had enough.

Jean stopped her rant and turned toward her teammates. She saw the look on their faces. One was filled with annoyance and the other with sympathy and frustration, both of which she knew she was the cause of. She flopped down next to Logan on the couch he was seated on with a groan. "Sorry guys. I know I'm being a pain. Sorry."

"Nah Jeanie. If you need to vent then you go right ahead." Jean gave him a soft smile. She was grateful for what he said but knew that he really didn't want to hear anymore. ' Logan,' she thought to herself, ' The master of subtlety when it comes to me.' Of course Remy didn't suffer from that problem.

"Or," exclaimed the Cajun, "We can try to take Jeans mind off her problems, Hahn ?"

Logan shot him a dirty look while Jean at the same time was slightly peeked by what he said. "What do you mean Remy?"

"Well," he began with a sly look on his face, "We are in de Las Vegas, non ? Sin City mon amis.What better place to forget ones problems? Even if it is only for one night."

"Yeah right Gumbo! Don't try foolin' us. This place is filled with all of your favorite things! Gambling, drinking and women! I know you've been itching to get into all that!" Logan snapped.

"Ain't goin' say I don't mon amie. At least now we've got a good excuse hahn," Remy claimed as he nodded his head in the direction towards Jean.'Mon Dieu, I never met anyone so bent not to have some fun.' Gambit thought to himself.

Logan opened his mouth to protest but Gambit interrupted before he could get anything out. " So what you say Jean ma belle. You got a right to have fun for one night. You be stressed, let's get rid of it wit a little fun. I mean, it's not like we got any calls from de mansion. They obviously not too interested in what's going on over here. Who knows what's going on over dere……." Gambit let his sentence trail off. From the look on Jeans face he knew that his not too subtle hints got his desired results. She was in. Logan on the other hand…..

"Listen here Shrimp Bait! Don't go playing onto Jeans emotions just so you can go fuc……"

"Dieu! Jus want to get out! Have a little fun homme. If it make de femme feel better in de long run? Even better I say. Swear mon amie, you sounding like Cyclops. Look like you got dat same stick shoved up your rear like Ol' Scotty do." He turned towards Jean then. " No offence petite."

Jean merely shrugged her shoulders in response.

"Listen Cajun, don't even think about comparing me to One Eye. I ain't no Cyclops…."

"Den prove it homme." Remy challenged him.

He saw a grin spread across the Canadians mouth. He got him.

Okay. That was the first chapter. What do you think?

The next several chapters will only include Remy, Jean and Logan. The rest of the X-men will join in later. Please have patience with this story. It will be slow going at first but will pick up as it goes along. I think that there is more build up that way. I have already written up to chapter nine of this story so the first few updates should come pretty quick. I don't know how many chapters there will be but I'm sure it will probably be more than twenty. Hope your in it for the long haul!

Thanks everyone!

Please review.
