Previously:
"We understand, its okay." John hugged him from behind, "They knew we were your friends and would have tracked you through us. We don't blame you for doing what you did."
"John is right. He keeping in contact with them was the best thing you could do. You were likely the only one they could track." Piotr agreed.
"Dey didn't have any of their records. Dey played it safe and kept the whole operation on a paper trail. Ava was able to provide us proof dat dey had no clue who dey were. Dey had actually suggested Remy get out of the States as he was the only one that dey kept their records of. Remy was valuable apparently." The Cajun sighed, "He did as dey suggested and you know the rest of de story." Pyro kept Remy in the hug as they drove the rest of the way in silence.
Now:
Remy knocked on the door. It opened not long later the male gasping in shock, "Remy?"
The Cajun grinned sheepishly, "Hey Gill."
The male looked at Pyro and Colossus. He had short blond hair, dark tan, light green eyes that showed he was nearly emotionless with a serious touch and intelligent, wearing a black long sleeve shirt, black jogging pants, and white socks. The thing that stood out on his was his veins beneath the skin, they looked like metal. "Please come in." Remy walked in first followed by John and Peter.
"Gill dese are his friends John and Peter, also known as Pyro and Colossus."
The male nodded, "I see." He gave a polite nod in their direction, "It is a pleasure to meet you two. He talked a lot about you two when he was helping to get us home." Peter gently touched the blind mutants shoulder. The red on black eyed mutant smiled bashfully. "Come, I have coffee and water if you are interested."
"Water sounds awesome." Pyro answered with a small smile.
When they all sat down with cups of water the metal vein mutant asked, "What brings you here Rem?"
"Colossus and Pyro need de information we had buried." He frowned, "He's sorry, he knows de past hurts but…new mutants and non-mutants have been going missing."
Gill tapped his cup with his pointer finger, "You think it was the same guys that had us?"
"It is possible."
The blond looked at a napkin near him as his mind raced with the past. Folding his hands under his chin he tried to stop the memories from flooding into his conscious but they came anyway.
Flashback:
"This one is interesting. I don't think we can use needles on him." Scientist one said. Gill's head moved in a groggy fashion. He had no idea where he was the last thing he remembered was being in the waiting room with his parents before he fell asleep.
"That's a pity. All our concoctions need to be fixed for him then." Scientist two said poking his veins with a needle but being stopped by the metal veins. Pulling the needle out the scientist sighed, "Damn it, with the way they are now we will kill him if he ingests them."
The blond teen flinched as the thing he was on moved. In the corner of his eye he could see a teen being pulled into the room he was being pulled away from. From the way that his body moved he could tell this teen had fought back. 'What's...what's going on? Where am I?'
"What's this one's name again?" Scientist one asked.
"Gill Findel, he's sixteen, he's been bullied so much for the metal veins." Scientist two replied, despite the question only being on his name. .
'How do these people know that? Are they the people I was supposed to get help from? But…I never put that I was being bullied. How do they know that? I never put down why. I put N/A as the answer.'
"Well I guess his parents would never have to worry about him accidentally cutting himself?" Scientist one laughed as they shoved the groggy teen on to a bed as if he was nothing but a toy. Then they disappeared out of the room both laughing at the bad joke.
End Flashback:
Gill shook his head, "Sorry, even after nine years the first day there is still…fresh." He rubbed his face, "The problem is that Ava, Greg, and I took different parts and hid them in different places after you left Remy. For all of it we need to go to Ava and Greg as well."
"He figured dat was de case." The Cajun replied after taking a sip of his water, "Where is Elane?"
"She's shopping right now." The green eyed male responded then pulled a letter out of his pocket, "Here, I meant to send this then I got the letter from you telling me you were back in the states. How's your own wife?"
"She's good, has all de chilies wit her where we are staying." Remy replied pulling open the letter to read it. His fingers going across the brail of the short letter. "Congratulations. Are you going to find out the gender?"
Gill shook his head with a soft smile, "No, we want to be surprised. Like you and your wife." He sighed, "Rem, you know I'm going to have to go with you and your friend's right?"
"Oui. He knows. He's sorry he's doing dis to you."
The blond waved him of, "We knew it was going to happen sooner or later. It's why we saved the information. Elane should be here soon, maybe I can convince her to stay with her sister while I am gone."
Remy frowned, "Doesn't Clara dislike you?"
"She does, but Elane would be safer with her. I mean Clara is a mutant." Gill replied with a wave of his hand. Placing his hand down he sighed as he rubbed his chin, "I just don't feel comfortable leaving her alone for so long without someone to look out for her. She's only a few months pregnant."
"Gill." The blond man sat up and looked at his wife, "Is one of these men Remy?"
"Elane." The green eyed male stood up and helped took the groceries from her hands. The woman had long black hair, tan, dark brown eyes showing her loving personality, she was wearing a green t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. "Yes,…" He indicated to Remy, "…the one with the sunglasses."
She smiled and walked up to the blind mutant. He could see her figure as her hand stretched out, "It's nice to finally meet you in person."
He took her hand, "Likewise."
She took her hand back, "I can't thank you enough for getting Gill safe. If you hadn't I would never have met the love of my life."
Remy smiled, "It was best dat he helped. After all he was once part of a team dat helped people. Dat part of him never went away."
She giggled then looked to Gill as he spoke, "Elane I…"
"Gill what's wrong?"
"Elane…" He took her shoulders, the grocery bags on the counter. "…I need to go with Remy to get Ava and Greg. We hid some information regarding the people that took us. Remy and his two friend's are looking into the new kidnappings of non-mutants and the occasional new mutant. The information could help them."
The brunet haired woman hugged him, "Of course you can help. Those poor people could be suffering. I know how much you suffered afterwards. No one deserves to be hurt like that."
Gill hugged her back, being gentle as he did so, "I will be back as soon as I possibly can." He pulled back, "While I'm gone will you stay with Clara?"
Elane shook her head, "You know she doesn't like you."
"It doesn't matter. I want you to be safe. If you are in her shield you will be safer than if you were on you own."
The brown eyed woman looked at Remy, "Where is your wife staying?"
"Uh…Xavier's Mansion in New York."
"Elane, that's too far. You know Clara would kill me if you went too far." Gill said quickly, "Trust me Elane." She looked into her husbands worried eyes, "With your sister's protection you and the baby will be far safer." His left hand was on her stomach, "I just want the two of you to be safe."
"I will ask her if she would like to stay here while you are gone." Elane kissed her husband, "Go ahead and make plans with the boys. I will get you a bag ready when I get the groceries put away." Gill shook his head making her cross her arms, "Gill."
"Don't Gill me, you are pregnant with my child." He gave a small smile as he hugged her around the waist, "You will do none of the things you have mentioned. I will put away the groceries and pack my bag. You will rest."
"You are too good for me you know that."
Remy smiled hearing that, 'Alexis used to say de same tings when she was pregnant wit Angela.' He leaned on his hand, 'Remy wonders how Etan is doing. Is he getting enough sleep? Is he still crying? Is he getting enough to eat? Etan, please be good for mommy.' His sightless eyes looked toward the window thinking about his own family.

2) I also wanted to tell you about the few stories coming to an end soon. It is three stories Mythical Hollow, A New Type of Enemy, and Water Gem. Mythical Hollow has about four chapters ready to publish so I can't tell how long that one has got left in it, A New Type of Enemy has about two to three chapters left, and Water Gem I think has a handful of chapters as well. Now because these stories are coming to an end I have a poll going on if you wish to place a vote. The first story that comes to an end will have the one that you chose take its place. : )
3) I also will be posting a new story when I post one of the ones that take over for one of my older ones just because I am eager to get it out there and it has a really good amount of chapters set up so I can start to post. : ) I am super proud of this story like no tomorrow.
4) I have also posted a new story that is called Acolytes Fun Day. The summary is 'The Acolytes are out for a day of fun and the X-Men are not quite sure how they feel about their enemies not wanting to fight.' : ) So far I have three chapter written and two of the three published. It was supposed to be a collection of one shots buuuuuuut…lol…I got a little zelous and it's not going to be that anymore. Oh, well. : ) If you are interested in it I have it up. If not that's okay too, I just wanted to let you know that it is out there.
