I apologize profusely for not getting this done sooner. RL has a way of taking over. That and I have moved into my dorm for the summer along with an on-campus job that 40 hours a week. I will try to make a more concerted to update more. Please review as always. :)


Bobby, Kitty, and Colossus were hanging out in the rec room that afternoon when Rogue walked in. The tv was on but no one was really watching. As she plopped onto the couch with the other three Bobby asked her, "Hey Rogue, what did they bring back last night?"

"Another mutant. She was unconscious when they brought her in."

"Where is she?" Kitty said.

"Last I saw she was still in the medical bay."

"Who's in da medical bay, chere?" The cajun walked in flipping one of his trademark cards in air.

"A mutant girl they brought in last night. She was hurt."

Gambit sat down on the couch with the other four. "What kinda mutant is she?"

"She's got wings. Not sure what kind though since I didn't get a good look."

"Hmm, a chere with wings. Remy's curiosity is piqued."

"Gambit, can't you at least wait until she's out of the medical bay before you start scoping her out," Piotr remarked.

"Now there, you hurt Remy's feelings. Remy not planning to make a move on da chere. Remy just want to know what kind of wings da chere have."

Bobby and Rogue rolled their eyes as Remy leaned over and started whispering in Kitty's ear. After a few minutes of head nods. They both got up and made to leave the room.

"Where are you two going?" Bobby asked.

"To see da chere a course."

Kitty phased them through the wall before Bobby could protest.


Down in the hallway near the medical bay, Remy asked, "Where is she likely to be?"

"I'm not sure Remy, she could be anywhere in there. Just keep your voice down while I check. You know Hank doesn't like us down here unless we're injured."

"Not to worry chere. Hank is a softie."

Kitty glared at the Cajun.

"Ok, Remy shut up now." He quietly turned a card in his hand while Kitty phased through the wall and then a few moments later phased back.

"She's at the far end. Hank's in his office right now."

Remy nodded as he phased with Kitty back into the wall. Inside he looked around. "Where is she Kitty. Remy no see her."

"Over here."

Remy turned to where Kitty was pointing and saw. A girl, lying on the medical table, arms at her sides, head turned slightly, asleep, with scaly wings that spread over the table and touched floor.

Feeling unfamiliar presences in the room, Tiffany reached out to feel who they were. Two mutants. One male, one female.

"Who are you?"

Remy jumped at the voice inside his head, a little scared at being caught.

"Uh, Remy Lebeau but friends call me Gambit."

"And who is your friend?"

"Kitty Pride. Her codename is Shadowcat."

"Do you normally sneak down to the medical bay?"

"Ah no, not normally for Remy. Uh is da chere gonna rat out Remy and Kitty? Hank gets irritated if people come down here when dey not supposed too."

"No I'm not going to rat you out. However I think you should be more worried about Logan finding you since he was here earlier."

"Ok, Remy go."

Kitty stared at Gambit confused at why he just stood there and feeling nervous if Hank should come out of his office. Finally he looked to Kitty.

"We should go chere. Remy feeling concerned at being found now."

"She talked to you?"

"Yes, and Remy must say, dat one interesting person."
