The final straw: Part 1
Clearly out of breath, Remy continued to wash the blood from his hands. Looking up into the mirror, he noticed the blood spatter over his face. His skin pale, and his eyes drained. Looking into his own eyes, his hands fell limp into the basin, beneath the cold running water, his mind went so quiet each flicker of a thought echoed. 'Desperate times call for desperate measures. You had t' do it.' He thought to himself. 'Had t' do it….'
"Remy." Came a whisper. The Cajun snapped out of it, and looked around, then heard the whisper again. He looked down and jerked his hands out of the water.
"Ly! What y' doin!"
"Jeremy need's your help. He's outside and he needs you to get him in, without anyone seeing." The girl said, becoming a transparent figure of herself made from water, now sitting on the enamel sink.
"How did y' know?"
"Don't get mad at me, Remy… but I went out for a walk.."
Remy glared at the girl, shaking his head.
"I saw what you did with Dallas' body as well… I know why your covered in blood." The girl said. Remy's eyes widened. "Don't worry. It was for the best. She could have ruined everything. I know that." Remy relaxed, then saw Ly stand up and walk into him. Covering his kin on the outside, she washed away the blood and then retracted back to the sink. "Let Jeremy in." She said, and then was gone. Remy turned off the running water and made his way to the control room again.
Rogue woke up, feeling numb all over. She looked around the darkened room, finding herself strapped to the table and too weak to tap into any of her powers. She knew that something was wrong. The silence made her uneasy, then she knew what was wrong- the realisation cutting through her like a dull blade.
Remy had finally gotten Jeremy back into the building. "What y' do t' get fired mon ami." The Cajun grinned.
"This is no time for jokes, Remy. They took Rogue." Jeremy said, starting to run down the corridor. He reached the lab in a short period of time, and looked through the window. "No! No! This is all wrong." Jeremy yelled, punching in the code and bursting through the door. "Rogue… Rogue answer me." Jeremy said, hearing a mumbled singing coming from the girl who's head lay to one side on the table… away from the two entering the room.
Remy froze at the door, then pushed passed Jeremy to get her out of her restraints. With tears in his eyes the frantically unbuckled the leather straps and pulled Rogue up into a sitting position hugging her tightly as she carried on mumbling the words to a nursery rhyme. "Cherie… come on fill, look at Remy." He sobbed, knowing that she no longer carried his child. "I'm gonna get y' outa here… I promise."
"Remy." She whispered.
"Im ere chere."
"You were right."
"Bout what?"
"It was a boy." She said, then turned to look at a box across the lab, which Jeremy had just noticed. "Ah heard them say so."
"Oh dear god." The scientist said, in a choked voice. Remy swallowed hard and gently released Rogue, the tears he was harbouring spilling over his eyes as he walked over. He hesitantly looked over the box's wall, seeing the tiny body of a miniature child. His child wrapped in a blue blanket with a tag on it. He sniffle, as more tears dropped and reached down, taking the tag between his fingers.
Mutant experiment 521.
He read the words again, his eyes hardening and forming into a glair. The red glowing brightly. He clenched his teeth and took the tag, then turned to Jeremy. "Get her outa here. An get orian. Tell him we're doing it now." Remy growled, and Jeremy looked wary. Remy fully turned his body to face the scientist. "Listen. Y' caused dis. You are responsible foah dis. An you are gonna help me get de's people outa here. An if y' don't…. I ain gonna be responsible for what I do…. MOVE!"
Jeremy nodded, and Remy stormed out of the room, after pulling some playing cards from his pockets.
His mind was racing. Thoughts caught up in a storm. They had taken his child before he was fully developed, used him as another mutant experiment, then let the child die. Remy truly cared for two things, and Robinson had taken one of them. Remy knew that there was no way in hell, this twisted scientist was taking Rogue too. Or any other mutant for that matter. Remy was no longer the kind hearted Cajun he had been…. No longer the desperate man, killing to keep his family and friends safe… He had become Gambit, just one more time. The Gambit that had hurt Rogue in such away. But this time he had no help from any electrical chip's in his head. The anger hand forced its way to the surface, and had one aim. He was going to destroy the lab, and all that went with it. The testing, the information. And most of all. Dr Robinson. Yes, our card trickster would make him pay with his life and more. There was no escaping this mans wrath. Not now, not ever.
