Thank you so very much for the reviews! Thank you, Lynn. XD
Sorry that I haven't been updating. Drama activities started and since I'm a senior in the club, I'm getting super busy.
Because I made you guys wait so long, I thought I should add a little more stuff, so here's some Jonda for you. XD

Chapter 3- Love never dies
It was almost three months now. Remy's wound healed and he was on his normal routine again. Remy sat on his bed and sighed. He ruffled his hair and sighed again. Where was she?
"Remy?" Someone knocked on his door.
"Oui?"
"It's me. John."
"Oh. Come on in, mon ami."
John opened the door. He closed it behind him and sat next to Remy.
"What is it?"
"I got news. About her." John said.
Remy looked on eagerly.
"Well… She's with Reprisal. She's happy. She found a new life with them."
"Non! Remy will not believe dat!"
"And I won't believe Amelia died!" John said angrily.
Remy was surprised at this outburst from his friend. John was usually a cool guy.
"Look, sorry mate. But it's true. She's happy with them. No other way of putting it."
Remy hung his head. "She's happy?" He sighed.
"That's what I heard."
"Heard from who?"
"Wanda."
"Y'r still in contact?"
"It's complicated."
Both men were silent for a while.
"Tell Remy about Amelia, John."
John breathed a sigh. "Amelia? She's my sister. Sweet little thing."
"Sister?"
"Well, she was adopted."
"She wasn't a mutant?"
"Naw. But she was killed. It was my fault."
Remy looked at John. "She knew y' were a mutant, didn't she?" John nodded.
"I was with Reprisal at the time. Before Reprisal moved to Bayville. We were fighting a bloke called Magneto."
"Magneto?"
"Wanda and Pietro's father. He's a real bastard. Killed their mother, you know. Anyway, he was a mutant. Strong too. Controls metal and stuff like that."
"Their father?"
"Yeah. Mystique and Magneto hate each other and they have this decade long vengeance thing going on. So, we were fighting her and… Amelia showed up…"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"John!" Amelia yelled.
John, who was conjuring a gigantic fire ball, stopped and stared.
"John! Stop!" She yelled again.
"'Melia! What the hell are you doing here?! Go away! Run!" John shouted. He was afraid.
She kept on running towards him.
Magneto was fighting Raven and Yuriko at the same time. He saw the girl running towards John. He laughed.
John saw Magneto wave his hand and a lamp post lifted off the ground. He flicked his hand again and another lamp post flew up. With a snap of his fingers, both lamp posts flew towards the girl.
Amelia wasn't aware of this. John yelled at her to get away but she didn't hear him. He managed to push her away in time and both lamp posts whacked him in the head. He fell to the ground, his head bleeding furiously. He groaned in pain. Amelia, who grazed her hand when she was pushed down, struggled to get up. Magneto flew over her and flicked his hand. A lorry lifted off the ground and flew up to where Amelia was.
John tried to tell her to get away, but his voice was barely audible. "Wanda…" He begged his girlfriend to save his sister.
Wanda, fighting Magneto's henchmen just nearby, heard him and saw Amelia. She ran for her, yelling at the same time for her to get away. Magneto saw Wanda coming and he dropped the lorry on her. The weight of the vehicle crushed Amelia almost immediately. She cried in pain and then there was silence from her. John roared and tried to get up.
Magneto laughed again but stopped when Wanda tried to hex him. He shook his head and smiled as the lorry lifted off the ground again and headed for her. Just then, Magneto was attacked by a massive fire ball. The lorry dropped to the ground. Wanda ran straight for Amelia. She checked the girl's pulse, although she knew the girl was dead.
Wanda heard John moan. She went to him and laid his head on her lap. She stroked his hair. "I'm sorry, John. I'm so sorry."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Long story short, Magneto killed her. Crushed to death." John said. His feelings were mixed. Sad and angry.
"Where is he now?"
"He's safer when I don't know where he is." John answered him.
Remy nodded.
"You know mate, if Rogue is on their side, that makes her your enemy. Reprisal was set up to fight for Mystique. To kill Xavier and Magneto. Of course, I don't mind if she killed Magneto."
"Xavier? What did he do?"
"Kurt is with the X-men. How do you think that happened?"
"Did Xavier steal him from her?"
"Naw. That crazy. The truth is, someone told Xavier that if Kurt grew up with his mother, the result would be terrible."
"Remy doesn't believe dat!"
"You don't believe a lot of things, mate.."
"Who would do that? Separate a child from his mother?"
"Irene. She's a seer. She saw the future. And she was right. Imagine… if Kurt grew up with Raven. He would be a nightmare."
"But he only teleports."
"Don't underestimate the boy, LeBeau. He could teleport into your room in the dead of the night and kill you."
Remy chuckled. "Remy doubts dat, mon ami. Kurt is harmless."
"Because he grew up to be that way. But Raven's heart is full of hatred and vengeance."
"Remy understands now."
"What's on your mind? You seem…"
"Rogue is with Mystique. Will she be Kurt's substitute?"
"That's what we're all afraid of, Remy. Especially Xavier."
"Rogue is powerful."
"Yes. Yes she is."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Professor."
"Yes, Scott?"
"I traced Rogue. We know where she is."
"Good."
"Do you want me to put a team together?"
"No. Not yet."
Scott nodded and left the room. He bumped into Remy as he turned around.
"Watch it." Remy growled.
"Or what?"
"Remy will crush y' wit dese hands."
"Oo, I'm so scared."
"Y' should be, Psycho."
"It's Cyclops."
"Dat's wat Remy said." He answered and walked past him.
"Hello, Remy." Xavier said tiredly, totally ignoring the conversation he heard just now.
"Hm." Remy grunted and sat down on a chair.
Scott glared at Remy and shut the door.
"What is it?"
"John just told Remy. Remy assumes y' know?"
"Certainly."
"Remy requests permission t' assemble a team and bring her back. Before t'ings take a bad turn."
"I know how you feel, but Rogue needs to find out things by herself."
"She'll be devastated when she finds out Mystique's only using her."
"That can't be helped. You think she'll listen to you if you went to her now?"
"Of course!" Remy said indignantly.
"She didn't listen to you the last time. What makes you think she'll change her mind now?"
Remy was silent.
"I thought so. We shall wait."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Rogue, wake up! Time for training!" Wanda shakes her roughly.
"One more minute, ma…"
Wanda stopped shaking her. She looked surprised. Ma? Wanda knew that Rogue was abandoned by her folks when they found out she was a mutant.
"Rogue, come on." She called softly.
Rogue's eyes fluttered open and she yawned. "Alright, alright. Ah'm up."
Wanda cleared her throat. "Training in ten, k?"
"Right. Thanks."
Exactly ten minutes later, Rogue appeared in the basement.
"Hmm… punctual." Yuriko said, looking at her watch.
"That's a first…" Emma muttered under her breath.
Rogue half-smiled. She was in a good mood today. "Ah heard that, shugah."
"Ok, enough talking. All assembled? Good." Yuriko said. "Now, we can start training. Rogue, you go to Room A with Wanda and Lexa."
"Room A?"
"Get used to your powers. Stuff like that. Lots of objects for you to throw about."
"What's in the other rooms?" Rogue asked, her eyes shifting from door to door. Four rooms all together.
"The rest of the rooms are basically training rooms. B is for firearms and explosives. C and D is for hand combat and the rest of the weapons."
"Why?"
"Each room is specially designed. Room B is especially sound-proof. The interior of Room C and D is padded. In case you get slammed into a wall, you know." Lexa said and winked.
"Right. Can we start?" Wanda asked. She opened the door. "After you." She said to Rogue who smiled.
"Yes, after meh." She grinned.
Wanda rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Watch it!" Wanda yelled as Rogue hexed Lexa at her direction.
"Sorrah, shugah." Rogue smiled and flew up.
Wanda growled. "If you want to steal my powers, the least you could do is use them properly."
"Look, it's not like yahr powers are easy tah control, yah know!"
"Rogue, you gotta feel the power. Let it course through your veins. Embrace it, Rogue."
"And that's so easy." Rogue said and flopped down on the floor. She wiped away the sweat from her forehead and leaned back on the wall. "Besides, ah still got other powers tah practice. Remy's powers are pretty hard. Ah keep charging mahself and getting terrible headaches."
Lexa raised her eyebrows. "Who didn't you absorb?"
"The X-men. With the exception of Remy, of course."
"Can't you stop talking about him?" Betts said in Rogue's mind.
Rogue just smiled. "How long has it been? Ah'm starved."
Wanda checked her watch. "Just about an hour left."
Lexa slumped down beside Rogue. "But I'm tired. I want chocolate." She whined.
"Do yah want meh tah get Pietro fohr yah?" Rogue looked at Lexa innocently.
X-23 just scowled and punched Rogue's arm. "Harhar, very funny. No, I do not want Pietro. I want chocolate."
"Pietro can get chocolate for you."
"I want my Belgium shells!" Lexa wailed.
"What's her problem?"
"Lack of sugar."
"But doesn't she get hyperactive with too much shugah?"
Wanda sighed and nodded.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Remy punched at the punching bag. He lost his focus for a second, thinking about Rogue, but the punching bag smacked his head and he stumbled back. Remy blinked and punched the bag again. This time, saying French swear words as he punched.
"Am I interrupting, mate?"
Remy stopped the punching bag swinging and picked up his towel on the bench and wiped the sweat from his face.
"What's up?"
"Just want you to know that I'm gonna see Wanda. You can come if you want."
"Rogue's dere?" Remy asked.
"Most probably, yes. But Wanda might not let you see her."
"Remy will take dat chance. Let's go."
They arrived at the Reprisal house and John knocked on the door.
Lance opened the door. "John." He said. He didn't sound surprised. "Wanda's upstairs, but I don't think you should see her now. She's in a bad mood."
"Porquoi?"
"Who are you?" Lance asked and raised his eyebrow.
"Remy LeBeau."
"Remy LeBeau?" Lance echoed. The name seemed distantly familiar.
John stepped into the house. Lance moved aside and Remy went in after John. "Thanks, Lance. It's ok. His my mate. Nice seeing you again, by the way."
Lance shrugged and walked off. "Where is Rogue?"
Just then, the door opened. "Ah'm back!" Rogue yelled. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Remy and John.
"Remy?" She stuttered. "John?"
"'Elo, Rogue. Long time no see."
Someone pushed Rogue aside. "Move it, you're blocking the road." Lexa grumbled. She too stopped and stared at the men. Lexa recovered faster and started glaring at Remy.
"You're not welcome here, X-boy."
"X-boy? Remy is older than y'." Remy answered back.
John turned around. "I'll leave you here. I'm gonna look for my shelia." He said and walked up the stairs.
"Lexa, it's ok." Rogue said. Lexa grunted and walked away.
"Chere…"
"Remy."
"Why are y' wit dese people, chere? Dey can't possibly help y'."
Rogue walked up to him and shook her head. "Yahr wrong, Remy. Look." She holds out her hands and takes Remy's in hers.
"Y' can touch…" Remy said. "Mais Professor Xavier could have helped y' too."
"No. He wouldn't have." Rogue said and let go of his hands. But Remy captured them in his.
"Yes, mon amour. He would have. Y' just have t' let him." Remy said. "Chere, Remy misses y'. Come and stay at de mansion."
She shook her head. "No, Remy. Mah life is here, with Reprisal."
"Non. Remy doesn't believe dat." He raised her hands and kisses them. "Chere, come back."
She pulls away and turns around. "No." She answers coldly.
"Don't push Remy away. Je t'aime, chere."
"Ah'm sorrah… But this is mah life. Lahke it or not. Ah am with Reprisal now, and nothing yah say will change that fact."
"Rogue!" Raven appeared at the front door. She glared at Remy. "Who are you?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
John opened the door.
"Ey, shelia. Where are you?" He said out loud.
He heard a door close and water splashing. He went in the room and noticed some clothes on Wanda's bed. He glanced at the bathroom door. The splashing was coming from there. John raised his eyebrow and gave a little smirk. Wanda was in the shower.
He opened the bathroom door and peeked in. John saw a beautiful naked woman standing under the shower head. Wanda. Water dripped down her body and he gulped. He slid in quietly and closed the door behind him. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. He just stood there like an idiot.
Wanda turned the water off. She reached for her towel and wrapped it around her wet body. She stepped out of the shower. Suddenly, she froze.
"How long have you been in here?" She asked him.
John smirked. "Long enough, shelia."
Wanda scowled. "You're persona non grata here, you know that?"
"Naw." He said as he walked towards her. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
Wanda looked at him nervously. "John…" She said softly.
John smiled at her and picked her up, bridal style. He opened the door and laid her on her bed, sweeping the clothes out of the way.
"Not now John. I just showered. I'll have to do it later again."
John ignored her and pulled the towel off her. He threw it aside and started giving her neck butterfly kisses. Wanda moaned in pleasure as John bit at her neck. He smirked and let his hands travel up her thigh and then her stomach. Wanda wrapped her arms around his neck and with a quick motion, she flipped him over and she was on top of him.
"John…" Wanda said as she straddled his hips.
John looked into her eyes. He smiled.
"Yes, shelia?"
"I still love you, you know that?"
"I know, shelia. I love you too." John answered.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Wanda laid her head on John's shoulder. He smiled and stroked her hair. They were sitting on her bed, sheets tangled around their bodies. He kissed her forehead.
"I never regretted leaving Reprisal. But I regretted leaving you behind, shelia. I should have brought you with me."
Wanda smiled but said nothing. She glanced at the clock by her bedside and sighed. John noticed that and he too looked at the clock.
"I expect Remy is dead by now. No way will he survive this long under this roof."
"You brought him here?"
"He wanted to see Rogue. So I invited him to come over."
"How can you invite someone to a house that doesn't belong to you?" She laughed.
He shrugged. "Anyway, he looked happy when he saw her."
"Did she look happy?"
"Rogue? No. She looked… shocked." John considered his answer for a moment. "Yeah. Shocked."
Wanda sighed. "You'd better go and save him. I don't think Raven would be too pleased to see him."
"You're right." John said. "But I don't want to go."
Wanda smiled. She kissed him on the cheek. "Go."
"Alright." John dressed himself and gave Wanda another kiss. "I love you, shelia." And he walked towards the door.
"I love you too." Was the answer he got as he turned the doorknob open. He smiled and closed the door behind him.
