To say that the training session was a disaster was an understatement. Storm, who was assigned to stay by my side, left me on my own. As Beast was the one working the program, since he designed it and could see what was occurring, he couldn't be biased and stop the session just because of me.

"Storm, where are you?" I called out, after the session had ended. I may have let my anger control my tone of voice. I heard the scattering of running feet, headed away from me. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

"Stormie, I thought you were told to stay by Nightshade?"

"She fell behind, Gambit. She is too slow, and can't handle this training session. I don't even know why she has powers. There are so many others who would be better suited for it."

"Beast!" I called out, knowing he was still in the control room. "Please run Nightshade Program six." I heard the machines roaring up. I centered myself, listening to everything, and using my telepathic abilities to pick up on the surface thoughts of those around me. I turned to where Remy had Storm. "Storm, you're with me. Everyone else, out." I heard the rapid retreat of the students, along with Remy and Alex. "Ok, Storm. Let's go. Try to keep up." I took off at a run, becoming completely involved in the program, and keeping Storm out of harm's way. The session didn't last as long as normal, because I signaled to Hank to end it when I felt like Storm had learned her lesson. As the machine's whirred down, I heard the doors open and Charles' wheel chair moving across the floor.

"I trust you learned your lesson, my dear?"

"Yes…" Storm was gasping for breath.

Analise, was this entirely necessary? She is a young girl.

A young girl who would have gotten me killed during the group training session, Charles. If Remy hadn't of been here, I would be back in the Hospital Wing.

"Miss Monroe. You will have kitchen duty for a month, and early morning training sessions with Hank for two weeks. We do not endanger our teammates for any reason."

"Why are you only punishing me?! That crazy lady over there nearly had me killed!"

"Actually, Stormie, Chere here protected you during the entire session. All while completing the mission within the simulation. She had you beat, in pretty much every way. She never left you to fend for yourself, and Analise took many hits for you that she could have avoided. Professeur, I am going to help Analise back to her room."

"Ok, Mr. LeBeau. Take care of her, please."

"Of course, Professeur. I would never do anything else." I felt Remy gently grab my hand and help me out of the room. I heard the door close behind us, then felt Remy wrap me in a bone-crushing hug. "Chere, don't ever scare me like that again. I was so scared! Why was Storm assigned to be your partner for this?" He moved me away from the hug. I guess he was trying to look at my face.

"Because, we always pair Alex and Scott together, but Hank and I usually switch out with Jean. When you came, and brought Storm with you, it was important to see if you two could work with other people. That was the point of today's session. We had to ensure that you weren't solo players. This is a team, and we need to act like one."

"So, I guess Storm failed today." I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

"She didn't so much as fail, Remy. She just showed us where she needs help the most. She is used to being alone, used to having to worry about herself. It will take some adjustment, but I feel like she can adjust and be one of the strongest members of the team. I will be joining her for her daily training sessions for these two weeks. And I will be encouraging the other students to join us." I felt Remy hug me again.

"Chere, you are simply amazing! This place has really changed since I was last here. You have changed. You've grown, in your abilities and in maturity." I felt a sense of emotion wash over me, almost seeming like happiness.

"Remy! You are using your empathy again!" I will admit, I was still nervous about him using his empathy after last time. I was so scared that he would take away what made me able to "see". It's a stupid fear, and I understand why he did it, but that doesn't change what happened.

"Chere, I am so sorry!" I could hear the sincerity in his voice. I knew that that was an ability that he didn't have full control over. "It wasn't on purpose, I swear."

"Remy. I know that you can't always control it." We had begun walking again, heading up the elevator and into the main halls of the mansion. "Some of our abilities aren't easy to be controlled. But that is why Charles set up this school, so we can learn control. I'm still learning control. I lost control earlier with Ororo. My emotions are directly tied to my powers. With my anger, I broke into her mind, and forced her to see what she feared the most. I abused my powers."

"Chere. You couldn't control it. I could see that. It may be partially your fault, but it isn't entirely your fault. I know that Storm has issues, and I knew bringing her here was what she needed. I didn't anticipate your reaction, and I should have."

"Remy, now you are placing fault on yourself. That's the same with blame, though. Blame is divided upon everyone, not just one person." We had reached the bottom of the stairs, and he began to help me up, making sure that I wasn't going to fall.

"Analise. This is blame that I am perfectly willing to take. You already have a lot to deal with, but Storm should not have been one of them. And here we are, you made it safely back to your room. I can honestly tell Le Professeur that you made it back safely." I heard him open my door, and guide me into my room.

"Remy, I actually don't need help getting around the mansion anymore. What is going on?"

"Xavier contacted me, about a week ago. He said you were having difficulties controlling your powers again. Wanted me to come back and help out, try to get some pressure off of you. I accepted, mainly because I would get to see you. I missed you, Chere."

"So you have mentioned before. Remy, I am tired. I need to rest before dinner."

"Of course, Chere. I will see you at dinner."
