Rouge sat there dumb struck. She didn't know how to react to everything Remy had just told her. The idea that she had missed out on two years of her life was bad enough, but hearing about all the things she had put Remy through was even worse. She felt awful about the things she caused to happen, yet at the same time she felt sick to the stomach, at the idea of what Sinister had made Remy do. The death of all those other mutants, all those defenceless mutants, happened because of her, because Remy would do anything to have her back.

She stood and walked over to the window, staring at the people below in the street.

"so,ya' tellin' meh tha' we're in hidin', from wha' ah can only imagine is a lunatic, who wants meh foh crazy science experiments?" she asked bluntly to the man still sitting on the other side of the room.

"oui" he answered.

"an' no one knows where ah am, no' even tha X men?"

"oui"

"an ya'll were tricked in'ta massacring loads of helpless mutants?"

"oui "

she said nothing. Her head was spinning with the things she had just learnt. She was gradually getting over the things she had learnt from Remy, about the things he had done, the things that had changed and the fact that she had disappeared off the face of the earth according to everyone else and the rest of the X men. The things that troubled her now were the things that no one knew. Remy had seen the experiment that Sinister had performed in front of him with the woman, draining her life into Rouges. The thing was that Rouge couldn't feel her presence in her head like she usually could when she absorbed another being. This scared her. What exactly had sinister done, and who was the other woman? Not only that, but what else had sinister done to her when Remy wasn't around. Had she been forced to absorb other people without anyone else knowledge? How far had Sinister gone? Had she killed people without knowing it?

All these questions were flying around her head, making it spin out of control. She couldn't take it anymore and began to feel dizzy. She took deep breaths to try and calm herself down but was unsuccessful. Everything went black.

He watched as she crossed the room to the window, her long figure stepped gracefully across the large apartment. He knew it was going to be hard for her to hear everything, but he had to tell her. He watched as she gazed out of the window, unable to think of anything to say. He ran his hand through his hair and released a big sigh.

"so,ya' tellin' meh tha' we're in hidin', from wha' ah can only imagine is a lunatic, who wants meh foh crazy science experiments?"

"oui" he answered. There was no explanation needed at this point. She knew all the facts, clearly she just wanted to clarify them. However he still couldn't help but drop his head to the ground again and remember that everything was his fault.

"an' no one knows where ah am, no' even tha X men?"

"oui"

"an ya'll were tricked in'ta massacring loads of helpless mutants?"

"oui "

The last question flicked through his mind. He was glad that she acknowledged that he was tricked into doing it. Perhaps she wouldn't think so badly of him, but who was he kidding? The blood was clearly on his hands and there was nothing he could do. He prayed silently that she wouldn't find him unbearable. He needed her to forgive him for his wrong doings.

Mon dieu dis' is hard. What coul' de femme b' t'inkin? Remy onl' jus' got 'er back, don' let her 'ate him fo' what he did.

He watched her closely. She didn't make a single movement for quite a while, until she suddenly became limp. He could hear her breathing getting heavy, noting the problem he swiftly moved across the room as quickly as he could, getting to her just in time as she fainted in his arms.

He lifted her up and placed her comfortably back on her bed, careful not to touch her bare skin on his. It had been a long day for the both of them. He decided it would be best to let her sleep it off, and quietly crept out of her room. He walked out of the apartment, grabbing his trench coat on the way. When he reached the street he took out a cigarette and lit it with a touch of his finger. Breathing in the smoke, he let out a deep breath and cleared his head. Now all he had to do was wait.

She saw him sitting on the steps outside their apartment from the window, looking run down and worried. Softly she stepped out of her room and out to meet him. She couldn't help but think about how wonderful he was, doing all kinds of things for the girl he loved, good and bad. It made her smile. He was a true prince charming in her eyes. As she walked down the stairs to the ground floor, she thought about when they first met in the alleyway. That was the day that changed her life, the day her life really began. She opened the door onto the windy street and walked down to the bottom of the steps. Placing her arms around his chest, she gave him an intense hug. At first he tensed up at the shock of someone holding him, but he soon relaxed when he realised who it was.

"yu' shouldn' sneek up on ol' Remy like dat petite" he said taking another drag of his cigarette.

"sorry" she smiled. Slowly she let go and moved to his side. "how you feelin?" she watched his face scrunch up as he thought about the day.

"t' be honest, Remy not feelin' too bien"

To her he looked so sad and vulnerable as he took one last drag and flick the butt away. His strong muscular features tensed as he moved to stand up.

"Remy t'ink he'll take a walk" he said as he left her side and moved along the pavement into the distance. "can yu' jus' watch over 'er fo' Remy?" he asked with his sad face.

Betsy nodded, only wanting to hold him in her arms. She hated the other girl for putting him through this, for making him do all those horrible things. She sighed and made her way back up to the room. He would be much better off with her. She walked into the apartment abruptly, slamming the door shut behind her. Stomping over to Rouges room she opened the door to see the other woman sleeping in her bed.

"soon" she stated quietly to herself, before closing the door and returning to the living room to watch TV. She put on an action film, turning the volume up quite loudly to make Rouges sleep as restless as she could.
