Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with X-Men.

A/N: Hi, thanks for all the reviews! (it motivates me to write more.) An explanation though for why Gambit's language is not shown directly. It's the simple reason of I can't write the way he is supposed to talk! I'm not that cool or gifted in that area. I hope that I still get his personality across without the French/ slash English thing going on. You may have noticed I've tried, but I don't want to make it confusing for those reading, because I am not exactly fluent in Cajun Language (Sad day) Anywhoo, like always-enjoy!

Chpt-2 Gambit

Rogue shared a look with her piers than back at the man unconscious in front them. They couldn't just leave him there and with all the sentinels traveling like wild fire through the city he would be easy pickings. The young woman turned to Wolverine who rolled his eyes but understood what she wanted. A few moments later they boarded the X-jet and were heading back to the mansion. Cyclops swivelled his chair around as he placed the jet on auto pilot, he was glad to see everyone had come back ok, but he was a tad bit curious when he saw the slumped form of a man over Logan's shoulder.

"Who's the stow away?"

"We don't know exactly but he's in pretty bad shape." Wolverine answered searching for a place to put down the mutant dead weight.

"Well, I'm picking up Hank and Bobby at the pier they have the danger room disc and judging by how much gun fire there was, it wasn't easy. Hank will know what to do, meanwhile, strap him into a seat." the leader concluded as he turned back to fly the jet.

With the help of Nightcrawler and Rouge Logan succeeded in strapping the man in the seat. His head bobbed forward looking like he could be asleep by a by passer. As the rest strapped themselves in their own seat, Cyclops directed the majestic jet toward his next destination.

Rouge rubbed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose, worried Logan turned to her.

"Are you alright?"

The girl smiled wearily. "Yeah, I'll be fine it's just borrowing Scott's powers isn't easy to do."

"We can get Hank to look you over when we pick him up." he said returning his attention to his hands.

Rogue caught the action of her friend as he rubbed his knuckles, but she knew that his body would heal quickly if he had any serious injury.

"Alright guys I'm going down." Cyclops warned as he descended the sleek jet.

Scott made a smooth landing, opening the bay doors Bobby was the first to get in followed by Hank.

"I strongly suggest you get us out of here friend!" Beast ordered.

The gun fire supported the blue haired mutant, without a word Scott powered through the air with a booster rocket carrying them away from danger. Logan let out a shaky breath, flying was an unusual enemy to him Scott knowing this, grinned, but it was wiped away by his girlfriend.

"Scott be nice." Jean warned.

"Sorry." he answered clearing his throat.

As Bobby took a seat he caught sight of the stranger across from him. "Huh, who's the new guy?"

"We picked him up, he was injured during our fight with the sentinels." Kitty explained.

Jean looked at Beast as he too noticed the individual. "Hank, if you could check him over it would be helpful."

"It is my duty my dear."

Beast unhooked himself from his seat and took it upon him to look over his new patient, but as he reached to check the man's pulse Jean tensed as she realized the man was no longer unconscious.

'Hank!' She warned through telepathy

It was a split second to late as Beast's hand was snatched painfully in the mutants grip. He raised his head eyes blazing with that fuchsia glow.

"Monsieur, I do not tak too kindly to people who take me captive without my consent." he said his voice dripping with a dark anger.

Beast didn't have time to voice his intent as he was thrown into Bobby. The mutant was out of his seat in a flash, Wolverine was just as fast unsheathing his claws. "Back off, if you know what's best for you." he threatened.

Logan was taken a back as the mutant glared at him with feverish eyes, this mutant was strange. Usually those they save are grateful for being rescued he was emitting the exact opposite.

"You can attack me all you want but I will regenerate before I even hit the ground." Logan said

The mutant cocked an eye brow at the man's words why would he tell him his ability? Than again he was glad that the hairy faced man did, because he would have been fighting this guy forever. He had to get passed him to get to an exit he served Logan a stinging hot ball of energy in his face making him stumble back as he dashed for the door Kurt appeared in front of him.

"Please, don't do zis."

The mutant let out a yell as he grabbed Nightcrawler by the shirt than tossed him across the ally way he vanished appearing outside the jet's front window. Scott was startled as the blue mutant flashed back in beside Jean who used her telepathy to talk the mutant down.

'We do not mean to harm you! You are hurt we want to-'

The mutant turned his fury on her, his eyes if possible glowed brighter with his rage.

"Get outta my 'ead!"

He raised his hand letting out a blast toward her she quickly made a shield to protect her and the cock pit where her boyfriend struggled to keep the jet from going into a nose dive. Bobby raised his hands throwing an icicle at the man, while Kitty ducked with the aid of Storm covering her. The mutant let out a hiss as the icicle cut clean through the sleeve of his leather coat cutting his skin he saw Rogue sitting worriedly in her chair. He reached out and pulled her against his body clutching his arm around her throat as he glared at the group in front of him.

Wolverine let out a growl. "Let her go!"

'Aien't gonna happen unless you let moi go." he answered while Rogue struggled against his embrace.

"In case you haven't noticed bub, but we're on a jet several thousand feet in the air."

"I'm sure your boy scout can drop me off somewhere nice."

"Pl-please, just let me go I don't want to hurt you." Rogue pleaded as she carefully removed the glove off her left hand.

"Don't worry chere it will…" he trailed off as an odd sensation coursed through his body.

His grip slacked as he let out a pained gasp. His legs couldn't support his weight as he fell to the floor struggling to breathe, Beast took this opportunity to confront the man. Kneeling in front of him the mutant weakly tried to fight back. As Rogue slipped her glove back on, Beast reached out with both hands becoming stern with him.

"Listen to me, calm yourself out of this state. We will bring no harm to you friend, you have my word."

The mutant eyes dimmed slightly as he looked at Hank. "Your word don't mean nothing to me!" he snapped out.

"Enough! Please you don't have to trust us right away…." Beast took a breath, his tone more gentle, "Now it is my understanding that if one meets another for the first time you tell them your name. I'll go first my name is Hank McCoy, or Beast."

The mutant quieted from exhaustion, pain, and the lack of will to survive. His eyes was a less menacing glow as he calmed and as he met beasts eyes he answered quietly.

"…Gambit, my name is Gambit."
