Chapter Two: Hope

"Remy knows what he saw mon amis" he argued glaring at the group crowded before him

"She's dead Gambit, it's been six years and she's long gone there's no trace of her"

"Remy disagrees, she's been gone six years yes, but there was no proof she died and Remy knows what he saw!"

The group simultaneously rolled their eyes before dispensing out of the room and back to where they'd come from. Remy had returned to the mansion late that morning convinced that he'd seen Rogue, he always did. Six years of loss could make anyone crazy. It had been six years since she'd vanished into thin air, no trace was left behind along with there not being any proof of what happened to her. Everyone searched for her but nothing could be found even her trace was not found on cerebro. Remy wouldn't give up though, he still had a lingering hope that she was still alive, a hope that one day she would return. They'd only just starting getting close before she vanished, starting with friends though it that time they became very close, but after she vanished he searched for days, hope forever at the surface even during the times his mind turned against him. Often it would happen, he'd see an illusion of her and be convinced it was truly her. It was like a mirage and as he believed its truth his mind made him insane until whenever it happened he'd had to be locked up until he realized the truth in time. Even still hope did not die with each illusion, with each time that he was reminded she could well and truly be dead, still hope remained alive within him. Remy moved out of his room shoulders slumped. He knew it was the truth this time, he knew she was alive but why couldn't anyone else believe it too.

Standing by his bedroom window he heard as the door slowly was opened. He didn't care anymore, no one was going to believe him but he'd find her somehow, he knew she wasn't dead.

"I believe you" the timid voice whispered placing a small hand on his arm

"Thank you petite that really means a lot"

"So what happens now" Kitty questioned

"Petite now we find her and get her back. Hope is all we have but Remy knows she's alive and we will find her"

He watched as the girl left the room, she'd help him all the way. Rogue was her best friend and he knew she missed her dearly. Like many others she missed her friend, but unlike the others she still cradled the hope that maybe somewhere she was still alive unable to get home, a hope she shared with Remy as well.

"We'll find her" he muttered only to himself this time in would be the truth.
