DA: Well here's more of the story. I don't own anything except my oc Nikki. The professor adopted Nikki, her real father is Dr. Ronald Rankin so her brother is Mimic a.k.a Calvin Rankin.

Chapter 3: The X-Men- Seeing you again

~present day Xavier's School for Gifted youngsters~

Nikki ran down the hall looking for one of the people that she had to answer to. It didn't matter if it was Scott Summers or Jean Grey. She wanted to know about the new comer so she had to find one of them.

Her hair was pulled into a low pony tail that hit her back as she ran. She was in what any girl would wear that didn't include pink. She hated that color with a burning passion. Her outfit was dark jeans, a grey tank top and her grey high heeled boots. Her black trench was sitting on her chair in her room.

She skidded to a stop as she found the professor sitting in front of a man in a long trench coat with a tight red shirt and tight pants. His eyes were covered by sun glasses but that didn't stop her from recognizing him. His red hair fell into his face and she smiled.

"Everyone I want you to meet…" the professor started but Nikki finished his sentence for him.

"Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit."

The professor and Remy looked at her.

"Yes Nikki. How did you know?"

"Some things are better left unsaid father." she said as she walked away.

Remy's eyes were huge under the sun glasses. After so long her found her again and all she said was his name and insulted him in front of so many people. Including her father.

"Where y' going chere?" he asked in his Cajun accent.

"Far away from you mon ami." she said back in hers.

Remy frowned. 'Wha' did Remy do to ya chere?'

'You left all the people you cared about at the wedding. I told you to say no Remy!'

'Ok no talking like this. Remy if you need to talk to Nikki I'll set up a time that you can after her classes ok.'

'A 'right mon ami.'

With that over Xavier had Scott show Remy around and finally they got to the room he'd be living in for the time being.

"Hey Red! Xavier said the new guy's gunna be staying with you for a little till we get him a room."

A loud crash was heard as Scott opened the door.

"Looks like she's here. Remy if you need anything Lil' Red can help you. Just tell her that Xavier said to." with that he left the room.

"So who is dis Lil' Red dat Scott was talking bout?"

The bathroom door opened and out walked a pissed off Red head in her favorite pants and shirt.

"It's me Remy. The older ones tend to call me that even though I'm a little shorter than you."

He looked at her and smiled.

"Get that cocky grin off your face."

"Or what Chere? Wha' can y' do to Remy dat aint been done before?"

She walked over to the desk and pulled out the custom made cards she had from when they were kids.

"I'll use your own power against you."

The grin was gone as he glanced at the cards.

Remy was surprised to see her here of all places. He sat on the end of the extra bed and looked down at the floor.

"What."

"Do y' ever listen to what Remy is sayin' in his mind chere."

"On occasion and only when you don't block your mind Remy. If you want me out then just say so. I can turn it off."

"No cuz dat would mean dat y' wont know what Remy wants ta tell ya."

"If your gunna refer to the time we stole the boat from Jean-Luc then yes I still remember and no I wasn't lying to you that day."

She sat down next to him and looked into his demonic eyes.

"Remy do you really think I can ever lie to you? You're my best friend and I cant lie to any of my friends chere."

He smiled. "I did teach ya good."

"There are things I know that even you don't Remy."

They laughed for a few minutes and Nikki felt like they were kids again. She walked over to her closet and pulled out a box and handed it to him. "Here I know its kinda late but I got this for you a few years ago. I just never got the chance to give it to you till now."

He took the box and opened it. Inside was the nicest staff he had ever seen. It was red and black like his eyes and had an inscription on the side.
