Chapter 1

Remy LeBeau sat in the prison cell staring at the wall. He was losing his touch. Adopted by the head of the thieves guild you would have thought that he would have been smart enought to not get caught. Remy used to hold the title as prince of thieves in New Orleans but Remy Lebeau wasn't as good as he used to be. maybe it was the bunch of do gooders he hung around with nowadays, The X-Men.

Not that there was anything wrong with the X-men. Infact the X-men had been brilliant to him ever since he joined two months ago.Okay so maybe not all of them, Scott had been furious at the idea of having someone who had once worked as a thief, working for them but then Rogue whad always said the guy had a stick up his ass but that was probably just the imprint of Wolverine, otherwise known as Logan,that was stuck in her head talking.

Rogue

That was Remy's main reason for staying around. the pair of them had been dating for about a year after they had first met in a club.(he had tried to steal her purse and she had stole his heart.)She had been the one who had convinced him to join the X-men in the first place. She had backed him 100% and now he had let her down.

Tears started to flow from his red-on-black eye. He didn't want to cry but for the first time he was scared. This was the first time he had had a proper family group that had actually cared for him and he desperatly didn't want to lose it.

He quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes as a guard came to the door.

"Your free to go," the guard grumbled,"someone paid yer bail."

Remy managed to mumble "Merci" before rushing out of the cell and almost crashing into Logan who had been waiting for him.

"Hey Gumbo," Logan growled," you've got some explaining to do bub."

Remy was going to try and explain when a cry of "REMY!!!!" came from behind Logan's back and suddenly Remy found himself being pounced on by Rogue.

"Chere,"he cooed in her ear his cajun accent showing as he pulled her closer to his chest,"why are y'here?"

"So Wolvie brings ya home in one piece swamp rat.....It's naught cause ah lahke ya or any thin." she giggled in her southern drawl

burying her face in his shirt enhaling his sent of spice and cigarettes due to his addiction to down town bars.

"An' home is where we're goin so hurry up," Logan grunted,"Getin the car the pair of ya."

The drive home was very quiet. Rogue had tried to make small talk but after her efforts were shunned with a growl from Logan and a look from Remy, she decided to fall asleep.

Finally Logan broke the silence." So like I said earilier you got a of explainin to do bub. Care to say anythin now?"

Remy bit his lip in thought for a moment. "Oui," he replied after a long silence,"je suis desolee"

"In English,Cajun,"Logan growled.

The young boy couldn't take much more of this. His eyes were welling up with tears and the sheer disappointment in Logan's voice was about to make them spill over. Logan had been the one adult at the institute aside from the Professor who had said that Remy's past didn't matter and had been the only one who had acted like a father towards Remy. Remy was trying to take his punishment like a man but he was still just a little boy.

"I said I was sorry," Remy repiled not looking into his eyes and tears falling freely down his cheeks."I'm very sorry."

Logan stared at him. He had been ready to tear the Cajun to shreads for screwing up like that after all the professor had done for him and more so for proving Scott right but with tears in his red and black eyes. Logan realised. He was just a kid. Just another kid like Marie. He tore his eyes away from Remy to look at Marie. She was lying fast asleep beside Remy her head on his shoulder.

She trusted him.

That suprised him. She was incapable of touch when he first met her and eyen now her physical contact was limited to a maximum of an hour at a time after which she would be exhausted. Yet when she was around the CAjun she was so relaxed. She let he guard down around him. So maybe there was something about the CAjun that made him trust worthy.But then again, Logan reminded himself, Marie had taken a liking to him so maybe the kid just had bad taste in men.

Remy let out a heavy sigh from beside her as they pulled up to the institute.
