Chapter 6
Remy was walking around Rogue's house for anything that looked like it could contain something. So basically he had no clue, but it would help Rogue so he would continue his search for her memories. He couldn't help wishing Logan wasn't with him though.
"Remy sure her room will hold more secrets" He asked Logan pleadingly.
"She built the whole house in her head, it's all important" Logan growled angrily at him. Both the mental Remy and real Remy had been getting on his nerves lately with all the suggestive comments he made about Rogue.
"But don't most filles hide stuff in their underwear draw" Remy said smirking as he dived away from Logan's fist.
"Be glad I don't have claws in here Cajun" Logan growled as he gestured for Remy to go to the fridge, a smile suddenly growing on his face.
"It's locked" Remy said giving the door another good tug before turning and shrugging at Logan.
"Have another go then, means there are memories in there" Logan had quite a good idea just what aspect of Rogue's memory would be in the fridge-freezer, but why on earth would he tell the suggestive Cajun that as he put all his weight into pulling it open.
The door opened with a bang flinging the Remy across the room, watching in amazement as a blonde goody-goody guy started to materialise from the icy air coming from the freezer.
"Who the hell is that?"
"That would be Rogue's boyfriend" Logan said smugly watching the horror pass over Remy's face.
"Boyfriend? Merde" Scrambling to his feet, putting his full weight on the door once again, praying it would close with the boyfriend back in it
Logan, casually leaning against the kitchen top crossed his arms taking great amusement as Remy wrestled with the door.
Remy took a deep heavy breath as he leaned back wiping the sweat from his brow before cocking his eyebrow at Logan.
"Boyfriend?" He panted before leaning forward putting his hands on his knees.
"Yep Bobby, Iceman, Drake lives at Xavier's" Remy sputtered at that.
"You mean the place we are taking Rogue?" He watched astonished as Logan's smirk simply grew wider.
"Yeah, the iceprick lives there alright"
"Ice Prick?"
"Don't like him much either, tried to freeze my hand first time I met" He glanced down at his hand. "Jealous type" He said slowly watching as the man in front of him started smirking just as much as himself.
"Jealous type huh? This could be fun" He looked at Logan, the two shared a secretive smile, forming a bond, united in irritating the Bobby Drake as much as they possible could.

The drive to Remy's house was interesting to stay the least. I didn't know what had brought on the Cajun's weird silence; may be something to do with his family meeting a girl he just met. The other weird thing was the strange chill that had come over my body, along with a massive head ache. It felt like someone had slammed a door on my head (AU, hehehe).
At one point I could have sworn I was remembering something, a blonde boy, but he was gone as soon as the memory had appeared.
"Were here chere" He smiling up at the house which I knew so much about already.
Oooh, go explore the secret passages, the Remy in my head said giddily as Logan gave him funny, look, What?
Logan simply shrugged and smiled secretly to me. I chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"The you in my head want me to explore the secret passages" I smiled as he laughed.
"Yeah, Remy ain't been down them in a while" He looked around cautiously before grabbing for my hand. I slapped it away, he lifted his hands in the air smirking and gestured for me to follow him.
I looked at the boyish smile on his face as he snuck me around the back to a brick wall. Tapping twice on one of the bricks; a voice came from nowhere. I recoiled in shock as Remy answered the voice.
"Henri, let Remy and his ami in" Smirking back at me as the wall seemed to sink in on itself, a doorway emerging.
"After you chere" He bowed mockingly and I walked past him, through the doorway warily. I glanced around the dark tunnel which was suddenly lit with a pink glow. I turned to find Remy holding what seemed to a playing card up into the air which was emitting the light.
"Handy" I smiled at him before turning to start walking down the tunnel.
It wasn't long before we came across a dank basement, well what appeared to be a dank basement at first. However I was shocked to see the lights methodically light up one by one showing the basement to be much longer and modern than I first thought. It seemed weirdly familiar.
It must be one of the memories you got from Remy chere
No, it's different, like I know a place like this.
That's cause you do kid, it like the sub level at the mansion
The word sub level flashed through my head, as if it was following a trace. I ran after it as fast as I could and didn't even notice as I fell to the floor in the basement.
The glowing trail led me to a metal corridor much like the one in which I stood and yet so different. I started to walk towards a large circular door at the end of the corridor and saw that there was large 'x' on it. Part of my mind registered the 'x' as important but the rest of my mind couldn't.
The floor around me started to shake, I felt like something was grabbing me from behind so I turned only to see nothing. I closed my eyes before looking again and I was back in the basement. I looked up into Remy's eyes, his hands still shaking my shoulders.
"What was that?"
"Memory" I said bluntly before turning away and walking up the stairs.
"Maybe she be bipolar"
"What was that swamp rat?" I growled.
"Nothing" He said mirth gleaming in his eyes as he grinned innocently. I gave him a stern look before continuing up the stairs.
"Do I hear what supposed to be soundless footsteps?" A voice very similar to Remy's Cajun called from the door at the top of the stairs.
"Yeah just like those ones no one hears leaving Mercy's room" Remy smirked as, he pushed past the man in the doorway.
I turned and looked back at the man and saw he looked very little like Remy and yet they seemed so alike. He was a bald man, large broad shoulders and heavy set. The kind of guy you wouldn't want to cross in a dark ally. But there was a twinkle in his eye and a tilt to his lips that made him boyishly cute, even though he had at first seemed so intimidating.
He looked over me; I wondered what he saw; a desperate girl or one of Remy's one night stands.
Definitely a one night stand, Remy said it as if a compliment.
Ew, I think Logan shared my opinion when I heard a loud growl that reverberated around my head.
I threw the real Remy a disgusted look, Remy simply shrugged confused but smirking as per usual.
"Henri, Rogue, Rogue, Henri" he gestured between us. Henri smiled at me before whispering something in Remy's ear. I watched as he cringed visibly. Henri simply slapped him on back and gestured for us to follow him.
"Tante wants to see her" I knew enough French to wonder why there me seeing their aunt would make Remy cringe again, but I was about to find out.
I followed them to a bright kitchen, a huge room lined with dark wood cabinets. Everything was so traditional to the old stove kettle to large gumbo pot. It was like a fairy tale kitchen, homely and calm with a short plump women who was chopping peppers like a professional chef.
"This her?" The woman's voice was higher than expected but rang with authority. I struggled to make out the word though, her accent being so heavy. She turned to me dark strands of hair curling around her aged face as they fell from her bun. Her eyes kind as she looked over me but hardening as she turned to Remy. She seemed like a force to be reckoned with even though she couldn't have been bigger than 5"1. Still, I did not predict her to do what she did. Though I must admit it was very amusing watching Remy duck as to avoid the frying pan that was flung at his head.
"Tante" He exclaimed as he avoided another piece of crockery. At this point Henri and I were nearly rolling on the floor laughing. My southern etiquette was being thrown out of the window, I was marveling in Tante Mattie's brilliance. I caught her eye as she finally caught Remy's shoulder causing him to let out a loud expletive; she was silently laughing, simply to proper to let out the belly laughs.
Her eyebrow arched as Remy cringed rubbing his shoulder, murmuring under his breath.
"What was that child?"
"Nothing" he said sullenly as he sat at the breakfast bar.
"That's what I thought" She turned back to me smiling, "What's your name?"
"Rogue ma'am" I said politely.
"Don't want none of this ma'am business, you call me Tante" Then gesturing to the seat next to Remy, she told me to sit.
"Now, tell Tante where you be travelling to" She leaned on the other side of the bars wiping her hands on a tea towel. I saw Henri lean on next to the fridge clearly curious about our trip as well.
"Well, I was planning on going back to my home, or what I've been told is my home I'm not so sure"
"Ah yes you have few memories" I opened my mouth to question how on earth she would know that when she placed her finger to her lips and pushed on. "You'll find what you look for, but not without pain. Beware of those you call friends" At this she threw a pointed look at Remy who suddenly looked very uncomfortable. I gave her a questionable look. "Have good sense" she said vaguely.
I looked at Remy out of the corner of my eye as she left the room after murmuring something to Herni who took off up the stairs with a smile on his face.
"Shoulder hurt?" I smiled as Remy threw another disgusted look at me before murmuring what I thought to be a few choice word in French.
"You ever been hit with a frying pan Chere?" He looked so serious it just threw me into complete hysterics, I saw Remy smiling at me, a genuine smile not a smirk and my heart fluttered. Seriously. Like a butterfly.
Aw you love Remy,
Shut up Swamp rat! I growled a long with Logan.
Just ignore him my dear, Eric the shocking voice of reason said to me.
That's kind of hard, I said to myself, imagining a wall being built between me and them. I did not want them to hear my girlish thoughts about the stupid swamp rat. I didn't even want to hear them.
I turned as I heard someone clearing their throat and turned to Henri stood in the doorway smirking, with his arm around a small blonde woman who was smiling widely at me. I assumed this to be Mercy from the way Henri held her.
"I'm Mercy" She said happily as she walked forward with her arms wide open. I stepped back and held out my hand instead trying to ignore the fleeting look of hurt on her face.
"Rogue"
"I heard you might need some clothes for your trip" She smirked at the loud groans of Remy and Henri, her smiled widening. "I'll take you shopping tomorrow for now Remy will show you to your room" With that she grabbed Henri's hand and danced out the room.
"I thought we were just stopping by" I asked.
"Trust me there is no way you gonna stop Mercy from shopping chere" He walked to the door and saw me standing stock still. "There no point arguing with her. Come on" He gestured for me to follow him and I did.
I don't know what Remy's family actually look like except for Jean-Luc so as they don't actually appear in the movie I have made them look like what I think they would look like. Also wondering if I should give Deadpool a Cameo as he is just awesome so give your opinion in a review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter :D xx
