Chapter 7
While Logan and Shadow were heading up the stairs, Spencer and Remy were being confronted by Spencer's brother Alex.
"What the hell, Pidge?" Alex said angrily, remembering the last time he saw Shadow. "What the fuck is that bitch doing here?"
Spencer sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head. He could feel a migraine starting just behind his eyes. Remy ignored Alex's presence and approached his lover.
"You alrigh', Cher?" he asked softly, turning Spencer so that he could crouch down in front of him. He sent calm and love down the link.
Spencer nodded to Remy and looked at Alex to address his question.
"She's here for the same reason any other fellow mutant in her situation would be here. Sanctuary. Now if you don't mind, I have some work to do."
At the clear dismissal, Alex just gaped at as Spencer started going through the files on his desk. Remy took the hint, grabbed Alex by his arm and dragged him out of the office and into the hall.
"If you recall, homme, Penny wasn' here the last time she was, so lay off 'im."
"Why is she really here?" Alex asked looking at his fellow X-Man with irritation.
"Precisely why mon petit said. Sanctuary from someone who wants to kill her." Remy said as he started down the hall towards the kitchen. Alex caught up with him fairly quickly, wanting to continue the conversation.
"Why doesn't her pet psycho take the guy out for her?"
Remy gave a dark chuckle and said "Because he left her alone before she found out."
