He hadn't expected anyone there.

The first thing Remy noticed was Wolverine's bike.

"Oh, chere', you didn't…" When he pulled in, it was. "Chere'… mon dieu…" He shut off the bike, climbing off, before looking at the woman on the doorstep.

"Ya Remy Lebeau?" She asked, without introduction. He smirked.

"Maybe, maybe not. It depends on who's askin'."

"Ah've got a message for Remy Lebeau. If ya ain't Remy, then ya better just leave." He looked her over.

"I know him. Why don't you just give me de message?"

"Because the words ah got t' say ain't exactly pretty, and ah wanna see his reaction when ah do it." She stood up. She was looking at his eyes.

"Den let's hear it."

"What the hell did ya think ya were doin', leavin' Rogue like that, huh?" He blinked at the sudden onslaught. "Did ya think ya were bein' noble, good, or somethin'? Ah got news for ya; ya did the stupidest thing ah think ah've ever seen!"

"There are reasons you don't know about dat make t'ings complicated…"

"Complicated mah ass! Ya can take yar reasons and shove them up yar's! Do ya even care how bad ya hurt her?"

"I don't t'ink it's your place to really judge, chere'. You weren't dere."

"Ah don't need t' be there t' see the effects. At least ya can deal with it!" He smirked more.

"Really?"

"Fine; at least ya can appear to deal with it. That girl still crumples when she thinks of ya!"

"I was trying to protect her."

"Oh, right, by shatterin' her? Brilliant, Mr. Lebeau, just brilliant! Leave her a complete wreck t' protect her! It makes things so much simpler, now that ah know that. Ah've got a pretty stiff view of lovin', and ya're crossin' mah lines. Unless ya're ready t' tell that girl ya love her and be ready t' change Rogue into Anna Marie Lebeau, just go."

"If it weren't for some t'ings, chere', I would've already." She stopped, staring at him, trying to maintain her anger. She was deteremined, he'd give her that.

"Just go, Remy. Not because of what I've said. I think… I think she might happy for the first time again." He nodded.

"I'll be back."

"I hope so." And he was gone.
