The next day during a meeting, Kitty brought up her concerns. "I feel like we have hit another wall. We are at the same spot we were at when Rogue went missing seven years ago. I've even looked in to the other avenues we ruled out before. I looked at Trask again. And he's still under lock and key by S.H.I.L.D. I checked out area 51. I checked all the anti-mutant groups. I just don't have any idea's where to look next." Kitty told them.
"I agree." The Professor said. "Logan?"
"I'm gonna take the little bit of new information we do have and talk to Fury." Logan said. "I don't like it but I don't think there is another choice."
"Alright." The Professor said. "I feel that maybe our only choice. Let me know what you find out."
Logan nodded and went to make a phone call. Less then an hour later he was headed out the door. Half way to his destination he was stopped. A woman stood in the road.
"Logan." She said.
"Mystique." He replied. "What do you want?"
"I want to know if it is true you found Rogue." She said.
"Why would I tell you." Logan growled.
"Please Logan, I just want to know if she is okay. I have believed her to be dead."
"Fine. We have found her and she is alive. Happy."
"Yes. Were has she been?"
"We don't know yet. But were gonna find out. She had her memory erased. She had no idea who she was."
"And you don't know who did this to her?"
"Not yet."
"When you find out I want to help you take them down."
"We'll see. But for now stay away. Rogue is raw from what happened and I don't think seeing you will help."
"Fine. But I will make who ever did this pay."
"Get in line." Logan said as he walked back to his bike. "I got some where to be." Logan drove away without looking back.
Logan finally made it to his destination, a small diner just out of town. He parked his bike and headed inside. He walked to the back of the diner and sat down in a booth containing a man with an eyepatch. "Fury." He said.
"You're late Logan." Fury said.
"Got held up." Logan replied. The waitress came over and Logan ordered a black coffee.
"So what's this about. You were cryptic on the phone."
"We found Rogue."
"Alive?" Fury said shocked.
"Yes."
"Any of the other mutants?"
"Gambit."
"They were together? So did they just run off together?"
"No. They had no idea who they were. And there powers had been neutralized. We got their memories back. They told us they were held in a military facility. They were part of an experiment to turn mutants into humans."
"Military? Not possible."
"They never saw the leader but they were called the Colonel."
"Could just be a nickname."
"When we found them, we were attacked by military trained men trying to stop us from taking them."
Fury sighed. "I'll see what I can find out. I don't like the idea that there is a rogue military unit out there experimenting on mutants."
"They are gonna come for Rogue and Gambit at some point. I'm not sure what they are waiting for. Nathaniel Essex is also after Gambit. Already tried for him once. Been looking for him for a long time. It's how we ended up finding Rogue and Gambit."
"How did he find him."
"Don't know."
"Alright." Fury said. "I'm gonna play this really quiet. If they were watching them before, they may be watching them now. And they may know you talked to me. I don't want to do anything to alarm them. So it may take me a while to uncover anything."
"Okay Fury. Call me when you got anything."
"You do the same."
Logan nodded and got up. "See you Fury." He said throwing a few bills on the table.
"See you Logan." Fury said to Logan's retreating back.
Anna rolled her eyes. "Sit down." She said. "Hank doesn't want you moving around to much."
"I'm bored." Remy replied.
"So."
"So entertain me."
"I have been. We've played cards, watched a movie and I read you a book. What else do you want me to do?" Anna sighed.
"I could think of a few other things." Remy said wiggling his eyebrows.
Anna scoffed. "Not gonna happen." Then she smirked. "Besides Hank said no strenuous exercise."
Remy sighed sadly at her. "Fine have it your way."
"Okay." Anna said with a big smile.
"I'm still bored." Remy said.
Anna sighed loudly.
"Bored." Remy said in a sing song voice.
"Gah. Your an adult act like one."
"I miss being able to move around like an normal person. I can't even turn my head."
"I know it will take time to heal. Hank said you are healing a lot faster than a normal person. Not Logan fast but fast enough. You should have nothing but a stiff neck in about a week or two."
"Arg a week or two."
"Quite whining." Anna said. Then she crawled on to his lap and saddled him. "I'll make it worth your while." She said as she kissed him. She kissed down his neck.
"Mmm. A little lower." Remy said.
Anna smacked his chest. "Were in the Med Lab. I'm not gonna do anything in here. We could get caught."
"We're married. I'm sure they know we do that stuff."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I want them to see us do it."
"Spoil sport." Remy said.
Anna laughed and rested her head on his chest.
"Anna?" Remy inquired.
"Yeah?"
"Would you have married me if this hadn't of happened? If it had been Gambit and Rogue?"
Anna was silent as she thought it over. "Well if we hadn't been taken, we would have been together. I was going to tell you I had my powers under control and then we would have started dating. You had talked about coming to the institute and joining the X-Men. So we would have been living together too. So yeah. I think we would have gotten married eventually. If you had asked I would have said yes. The only reason I made us wait to be together was because I was so scared of my powers and I didn't want to take the chance that I might hurt you." She told him.
"So will you marry me again?" Remy asked.
"What do you mean?" Anna asked.
"I wanna marry you as Rogue too. We can get married again and have your friends and family there. We can have a real wedding instead of just going to the courthouse like last time. I wanna have my brother there too."
Anna smiled at him. "Then yes. I will marry you. Again." She said and she kissed him.
