Chapter Eleven

He hums softly to the child in his arms, as the baby slowly drifts to sleep. Jean- Luc had finally come home today after a grueling seven weeks. Mercy and Tante Mattie had both offered to stay to help, both for tonight he sent them away. He'd never had this chance before, to hold the baby in his arms, with out a small crowd standing near by.
Tomorrow, he'd promised, tomorrow they could come and spend as much time as they wanted with the baby, but for tonight, he wanted the boy to himself. "Il s'agit de votre maman, elle aimait vous plus que rien ni personne sur la terre.(This is your mom, she loved you more than anything or anyone on Earth.)" Remy whispers as he passes the picture of his wife in the hall.
"Ne vous inquiétez pas tout-petit, votre père vous aime trop... je vendrais mon âme pour vous sauver.(Don't worry little one, your father loves you too... I would sell my soul to save you.)" Remy continues. I think maybe I did already. "Maintenant, nous devrions obtenir de vous endormir, afin que vous pouvez visiter avec vos tantes demain, hein. Papa doit faire dîner trop.(Now, we should get you to fall asleep, so that you can visit with your aunts tomorrow, eh. Daddy must make dinner too)" Remy settles the tiny baby into a cradle next to his bed. There was no way he'd be able to sleep if he put the baby in the nursery tonight.

He silently slips out of the room, baby monitor in hand, and headed towards the kitchen. He arrives to the smell of Tante Matti's Chicken and biscuits. He quickly found them, along with the note that read

' Remy,
We didn't want you to starve, or have to cook
your first night as a full time Papa.
Don't worry, we will still be by tomorrow.
Love,
Mercy'

Laughing,Remy sat to eat the meal. Leave it to them to manage to slip into his house in the time it took him to lay the baby down. He ate quickly, and was in the middle of cleaning up when the phone rings.
Remy quickly answers, afraid it would wake the baby. " Salut(hello)" Remy answers.
"...Now Mr LeBeau, I've asked you to speak English around me." responds the voice.
" My apologies." Remy states in a flat tone. " May I help you?"
" As a matter of fact..." The voice states. " We need you to retrieve a list for us."
Remy sinks into his chair. His son just came home, and they need something now? He could swear they timed it.
" When and where." Remy responds.
" *tsk,tsk* Mr LeBeau that is not the tone I would use on the people who saved my child."
"Désolé, I'm just a little tired." Remy replies quickly.
" I understand, after all the boy recently came home, did he not?"
"...Yes, he did. He's doing very well."
" We need this list by this time next week. He's feeling generous, and said to tell you to enjoy your time with the boy for a day or two first."
" Merci, I'll have it to you on time." Remy replies.

~o0o~

He was sitting outside of the building,staring at the entryway. As soon as the last of them leave he can slip in and take the list. Luckily, he was to copy it from their computer so he wouldn't have to search for a hard copy... or take their only copy.

A few minutes later, he slipped silently into the Brotherhood's current base. Gambit then silently crept into the computer room, and booted up the computers. He quickly he located the files, before pulling out a memory stick. He quickly copied the files, and he silently escaped the base before any of them returned, though he did spot a couple of the girls heading in his direction as he took off on his motorcycle.

Hopefully,it won't take them long to notice that someone was hacking their files. Remy thinks, figuring it probably wouldn't, considering he had intentionally set off the motion alarms, erased just ten minutes of the security tapes and left they file he copied open.

It was the best he could do, he doubted loosing the 'merchandise' twice would go over well with Kelly's men. He just hoped the Brotherhood was smart enough to relocate their people on this list. He seriously considered just blowing up the memory stick. But the threat against Jean-Luc had been clear.

Sighing, Gambit pulled up to the meeting spot. He only had to wait about five minutes, before his contact arrived. Great. They just HAD to send her. He thinks seeing the woman who climbed out of a new looking convertible.
" Gambit" she states.
" Hello." he replies. " New car I see."
" Yes well, my old one was destroyed recently...by you." she points out.
"Yes, well. Here's the list. " he says, handing her the memory stick, he had thought about destroying just a moment before.
"...Your not going to try to take this back too, are you."
" Non, I'm on my way out of the city right now."

Rogue shakes her head, to clear her mind. In some ways, memory flashbacks are worse during the day. She found herself searching for the man whose memories were currently plaguing her. She felt so bad for him, knowing now not only how much those jobs had bothered him, but the lengths he went to to sabotage them, with out anyone realizing that he had.

She was very much hoping that he would fade before she had to relive Genosha or the kidnapping (again).She remembered now, the incident in this memory. She and Domino had arrived shortly after he left. It had taken two days to relocate everyone on that list, but they had done it. Sending 99% of them to Genosha.

She found him in the library. Sitting down next to him,she smiles at states. " You don't have to feel guilty about that list anymore..." she begins, he looks up startled. " We got them all out before the MRD caught them."
"...We?" Remy questions,trying to think of something to say.
" Yes,I was with the brotherhood then." Rogue replies.

Remy blinked at the girl a moment, before remembering that she had mentioned something about that before. She'd said that it made her untrusted here. He'd honestly thought that it was part of a 'join us' pitch. Apparently not.
" When the mansion blew up, and the Professor and Jean were gone, everyone scattered to the winds. Logan started gathering everyone back together about a year later. But... I was still mad enough that I didn't trust Logan not to run off again. I didn't tell him it was just a trick when I joined the Brotherhood to spy on them." Rogue states. " In fact I went as far as setting them up to secure my place with them, I set the X-men up. It's taken a lot of work to rebuild the trust. They wanted me here though. And they want you too."
" ...The difference is, I wasn't one of them to start. " Remy replies. " Don' worry,I'm staying, It's just, I'm not expecting miracles. Finding my son, would be miracle enough."
