Backing our story up a bit we are going to start this post out with Remy landing the Mini X-Jet that he stole in D.C.


His mind was still linked to Veronica Xavier back at the X-Mansion because they planned for her to psychically follow his movements so that Gambit would have a witness to whatever events he was about in embark on in order to clear his name.

" Chère, Da Gambit has arrived now what, Where be dis build'n you say you saw in that Bastard Bishop's Memories?"

Veronica's voice rang into the Cajun's mind as his just done to her own.

" That is a good question Remy, I am not sure of an exact address since the image flashed to fast but me being the psychic that I am allowed me to see a bit more then the rest of you with that being said I got to see the apartment building where the shot will be fried from and some street signs... It is sitting on the corner of Elm and Mulberry near the top floor... That is all I can help you with Gambit you will have figure out the rest on your own, Good Luck and remember I will stay connected to you Telepathically via your mind so that you will not alone during all this."

Gambit nodded his head: " Mmm Having a beautiful woman in da Gambit's Head is never a bad thang Chère, Only wish da circumstances were different... That dis handsome Cajun was not bein set up for whatever reason."

Remy then walked over to the main road and hailed himself a cab for he had little time left to put an end to this mess before it got started and hopefully save the Professor in the process.


Remy LeBeau climbed into the back of the cab closing the door behind him, He give the cabby the name of the streets that Veronica Xavier told him about and as they pulled away another X-Jet came to a landing near the one Remy acquired and out stepped a very anger black man that want by the name of Lucas Bishop followed by an oddly calmed man by the name of Logan or as he is more famously known as Wolverine.

" Figures the sneaky bastard is already gone."

Groaned Bishop as he checked out the inside of the first Mini Jet as Logan sniffed the air a few times behind him trying to pick up Gambit's scent which didn't take him very long.

" Smells like da Cajun made his way to the street and I smell something else like an exhaust pipe mixed with some cheep air freshener try'n to mask someone's sweaty ass, So I'm assum'n Gambit ether got himself a cub or was hitchhike'n wit some fatass Trucker ether way, We need to get move'n or I'm gonna lose his trail."

Logan didn't have to tell Bishop twice he was done on his way over towards the road before Wolverine finished talking.

Lucas whipped his big ass future gun out just as a small lemon of a car came driving by. Bishop walked out into the middle of the street stood right in front of this car forcing the old man behind the wheel to hit the brakes, Bishop then walked around to the driver's door pointed his gun in this poor old man's face and started yelling at him to get out of fucking his car just as Logan came up behind them.

The old guy was not moving as fast as Lucas Bishop would of like so he stealth his gun and jerked the frail old man out of his car tossing him on the side of the road like he was nothing more then a piece of trash much to Logan's disliking but Wolverine didn't have time to get into it with Bishop that would have to wait until later date and wait it would for Logan would not forget that little stunt by Mr. Bishop but for now Wolverine instead jumped across the hood of the rundown car sliding to the other side and got into the passenger seat.

Bishop got behind the wheel so that Logan could hang out the passenger window with his nose in the air tracking Remy's cab and they were off.


Back to Gambit his cab pulled up the to streets indicated by the Cajun Mutant, Remy throw some cash at the cabby as he was getting out of the car.

Luckily for Gambit there was only one apartment building in sight so it didn't take a genius to deduce where the imposter would be located.

" Top Floor Remy, Wish I had more to go on then that but all I seen was the shot being fired from near the top floor."

Veronica Xavier's Voice sounded in his head again.

" Ain't no big deal Chère, Da Gambit is perfectly capable of find'n what he need to."

Remy LeBeau casually opened up the door to the apartment building, got inside the elevator and pressed the highest number on the panel which was level 8, upon getting to the top floor he was overcome by the complete silence of the place.

There was not so much as a peep going on and it was starting to creep him out a little but not enough for him to stop moving down the oddly quite hallway.

Getting to the last door Gambit decided that would be the best place to start looking since it was the closest to where the Professor was giving his speech. Whipping open his trench coat Remy pulled out his trusty Lock-Picking set and want to work picking the lock only for the door next to him to come open and a woman ran out screaming something about a gun and a Senator.

Gambit quickly put away his tools and rushed into the room the woman just ran out of only to find an older man tied up and gagged with a gun pointed at his face and the hand holding the gun belong to none other then Remy LeBeau himself.


Outside Bishop and Wolverine finally arrived they were standing there looking at the apartment building next to the car that Bishop hijacked. Logan was sniffing the air when the same woman from the top floor came running out still screaming and panicking, she ran smack dab into Wolverine knocking herself backwards causing her to snap out of her panic long enough to try to get help.

" Mister you have to help him... There's a crazy man in a Trench Coat up there trying to kill him... Please I beg you help my husband!"

Bishop came up next to her and put one of his big hands on her shoulder before saying: " Calm Down Lady and Tell us Slowly, Where they are and who exactly is up there with this Trench Coat wearing Gun Man for you see Miss we are here ourselves looking for a man in a Trench Coat and I think you're guy and our guy is one in the same."

The woman took a deep breath before she spoke again saying: " My name is Sharon Kelly and my husband Senator Robert. E .Kelly is trapped up on Level 8 of this apartment building by some madman with red eyes in a Trench Coat waving a gun, I only got away because Robert tackled the man to the floor long enough for me to ran for help... So please I beg you help him while I call the police."

She pulled from her pocket a cell phone and started to dial only before she got to hit the send button Sharon Kelly started to feel very sleepy and everything around her got dark as Lucas Bishop pressed harder into her shoulder on one of her pressure points knocking the woman out cold. He then picked her up and carried her over to the car he stole laying her in the backseat.

He turned around to face an angry Wolverine.

" What da hell did ya do that for Future Boy?"

Bishop rolled his eyes as he started walking on into the building.

" Logan the last thing we need right now is the local Police involved, Had she made her call it would of made it that much more complicated... She'll be fine in about a half hour, Now move your ass we have a Cajun Trader to find and a Senator to save. Not to mention the Professor."

Logan snorted and had to restrained himself from stabbing Bishop as he followed behind him into the Elevator.

Right now the Professor and the Senator's safety took top priority over anything else.


Getting to the only apartment that had the door standing wide open both men were taken by surprised at the sight they seen inside. There were two Gambits struggling with each other over a high powered rifle with a man tied up in a corner trying to get loose.

" Huh, Two of them... Which one is the real one?"asked Bishop in confusion.

Logan sniffed the air once then he popped his claws. SNIKT!

He ran over to Kelly slicing up the rope that bounded him, setting him free. Logan then barked at him to get the hell out of here before turning his attention to the two Gambits in the room.

Robert Kelly rubbed his sore wrists & ankles as he took one last look at the chaos in the room then got up and fled as fast as his sore legs would take him leaving only the Mutants behind.

" That's enough you Blue skinned Skank... Show yourself already, Ya might be able to change your form but not ya smell. Mystique!"

Wolverine blurted that out as he tapped on set of claws near his nose.

Bishop stood over in front of the door with his gun pointed at the Gambits ready to blast whichever one goes near the window with that rifle or tried to make an escape out of the room.

The Gambits struggled with each other for a few minutes more before one of them got the upper hand by swinging the end of the gun like a bat upside the other one's head knocking him backwards into Logan taking them both down for the moment.

The Gambit with the rifle marches to window and before any of the other men had a chance do anything the shot was fired. An evil laugh sounded along with the Boom!

As the Gambit who just pulled the trigger slowly transformed into a blue scaly skinned female with golden eyes. She smiled boldly at the X-Men clearly proud of what she just done that was until Wolverine shoved the real Remy LeBeau who was barely conscious off of him and came charging at the wicked woman with both sets of claws out.

Suddenly Mystique transformed into Logan himself which confused Bishop who was preparing to take a shot at her. Lucas Bishop took his shot anyways and sent one of the Wolverines flying out the very same window that was just used to shot at Charles Xavier.

" You X-Men truly are pathetic... Can't you tell the Villains from the Heroes anymore... Great job there Big Man you just blasted your teammate out the window."said Mystique as she shifted back to her normal blue self laughing at Bishop's Mistake.

" Did I really? Trust me Logan had that coming... Now why don't you give me some damn answers before I send you out in the same fashion... Who the hell are you working for and don't give me any bullshit about Magneto, We both know he would not get caught up in anything that had to do with Charles Xavier's Death, He respects the man to much."

Bishop pointed his gun at Mystique now, He had his finger on the trigger just itching to pull it but he needed answers first.

Mystique was no fool she realized right away that he was not bluffing.

" There's something different about you... You don't seem like your typical X-Turps and I think you know exactly who my true Master is Bishop because he is yours as well, Am I wrong?"

Bishop lowered his weapon and grinned at Mystique, He want to say something to her but got cut off due to a large amounts of wind flowing into the room blowing down the wall of the small apartment.


All three remaining Mutants were swirling around the area as Storm hovered outside controlling her mini tornado with hands gestures. Angel flapped his feathery wings behind her and in his arms he held a very pissed off Wolverine who he caught in midair before he met the pavement below up close and personal.

During the wind ride Mystique managed to shape-shift into a Giant Eagle and soared away. It didn't take her much time to get out of their sights and was well on her way to report back to her true Master,

{{ Who we will revealed on another mission}}

Ororo Munroe stopped her winds and flew on into the room where she want over to Gambit checking on him since he was now bleeding from that club to the head that Mystique planted him with using her rifle handle.

Everything that had happened after that blow was a bit sketchy at best for Remy but not to that of Veronica Xavier, Kurt Wagner, Juanita & Angel Nicole Cullens back at the X-Mansion who witnessed it all firsthand through the eyes of Gambit with the help of Veronica's Telepathic abilities enhanced by Cerebro.

Bishop picked himself up from behind an upturned sofa that he got thrown into; just as Warren flew in with Logan, Seeing the look on Wolverine's face was enough for Bishop to hightail it outside to where Senator Kelly was searching fanatically for his wife.

He lead the man to her in the backseat of the car he placed her in, then tried to explain what happened to them as the other X-Men in the small apartment building above him were trying to piece everything together as well.


The only thing they all seem to agree on was that Remy LeBeau was NOT the cause of any shootings that took place on this day.
