Okay, I know I have a lot of things on the go at the moment, but this has been in my head for a while.

Basically, it's an X-Men AU where Cherik is canon. They have Pietro, Wanda and David as children. Raven and Azazel are together with Rogue (adopted) and Kurt as their children.

Kurt and David are the same age, along with Remy/Gambit….I'll let the story tell the rest.

Please read and review.

…..

"How many pairs of jeans do you need?!" grunted David as he dumped the bags upon bags of shopping on the bed, "I mean, some of them don't even look like they'll fit!"

Kurt, who was resting on the bed after teleporting them home, groaned wearily. "Haven't you heard? It's fashion."

"I wear sweater vests and Batman t-shirts, what the hell do I know about fashion?!"

Remy, who was hanging up some of his new purchases, chuckled. "Desole mon ami, but your cousin is right. It's fashion."

Lying on the bed, David groaned, "Hank will be writing that on my gravestone. Cause of death….fashion." He glanced to the side and reached into a shopping bag, pulling out a pack of cards. "What's with all of these anyway? I thought the clerk was going to have a heart attack when you practically bought out the entire stock!"

Remy grinned, motioning for David to toss him a pack. "Watch…." Removing a card from the pack, he flicked it between his fingers as it began to glow. Once it was ready, he threw it into the air and it exploded with a BANG!

"Ooooooh" "Hell yes" cooed Kurt and David in awe.

"Impressive." Chuckled a voice from the doorway, causing the three to spin around in alarm.

Standing in the doorway was Logan, a white sleeveless top clinging to his torso, "But Chuck will flip his lid if there are any holes in his ceiling…trust me."

Remy flushed slightly as Logan glanced at him, before the older man turned his attention to David and Kurt. "Danger room's free in case you're interested. I think the other brats are heading there right now…this the kid you snuck out to save?"

Ignoring Remy's cry of "Remy's no child!", David and Kurt nodded. "Ja…" answered David, "…the one you snitched on us about."

Logan smirked, "Better that than risking Sabretooth getting into the school…and worse. Be thankful you only got a grounding for sneaking out brat. I'd have whooped your ass!"

"I believe it…" Grinning, David turned to the other teens, "You guys coming? I heard Ororo's going to be practising her snow storms today!"

Before Remy could answer, Kurt grinned at Logan and grabbed the others by their shoulders, "Better grab your coats guys"

A split second before Kurt teleported down to the danger room, uniform room, David managed to wave his hand and pull three coats towards them, barely grabbing them before disappearing in a cloud of purple smoke.

"Right…" coughed David, waving away the purple smoke, "…best grab some spare ice skates as well. Storm likes to conjure up ice under your feet if you annoy her."

Alarmed, Remy quickly grabbed a pair as they all headed to the danger room, David punching in a code as the door slid open. As soon as the door slid open, Remy took a step back at the cold blast of air.

"Mon Dieu!" he gasped in shock, as he was quickly tugged into the room, the door sliding shut behind him.

The Danger room was covered in a thick layer of pure white snow, which was still falling steadily from grey clouds up above. Laughing and rolling on the ground were several teens. The same boy who was with Kurt's sister, was creating an ice rink in the corner, whilst Ororo floated in the air above them.

"Hey guys!" called out David as the trio strode over to where the rest were gathered, "Is there anybody here who hasn't met Remy yet?"

Remy watched as Kurt's sister, her boyfriend, Kitty, Jubilee, Ororo and David's siblings all waved at him in recognition, however, there were two other boys who were unfamiliar.

One was huge and muscular and…. well, he was big, that's for sure. The other had large, white wings and blonde hair….Remy felt like he could guess the name of this one.

The larger one held out his hand and beamed at Remy. "Zdravstvuyte! My name is Piotr Rasputin."

Remy couldn't help but grin at Piotr. The larger man's enthusiasm was contagious. "Bonjour mon ami.." he then turned to the winged teen, "…and you are?"

The other teen was clearly resisting the urge to sneer at Remy, not holding out his hand and simply staring at Remy. "Warren Worthington...the third. But you can call me-"

"-Let me guess…" interrupted Remy, "…. Angel or something?"

David chuckled at the startled look on Warren's face, "We tend to just call him Feathers…. stop sulking Warren, of course he could guess your super zero name!"

"Indeed…" agreed a voice from above (soon revealing itself to be Ororo's as she landed beside Remy), "…No offense Warren. But it is the most obvious name for you, just like the obvious choice for me was- "

"Storm!" interrupted Remy eagerly, pointing at the white-haired teen, "I knew I recognised you! You fell into the pool and – "

" – And you saved me from the 'Shadow King'…" whispered Ororo, "… you tried to help me fight him."

Remy nodded eagerly, laughing as Ororo practically squealed in joy and grabbed the Cajun teen, pulling him into a hug. "Small world ain't it Stormy?"

His laughing only continued when Ororo released him from the hug and lightly punched him on the arm, "Don't call me that!"

Warren sneered at the two, only schooling his face into a neutral expression when David glared at him…. And you did not want to piss David off.

As Ororo and Kurt led Remy towards the rest of the group, David placed a hand on Warren's shoulder and sighed. "Please Angel… don't be yourself with Remy. I know what you think of him, your surface thoughts are practically deafening me. You've always treated those you believe to be inferior to you like crap, and if I even suspect you're being a dick to Remy, I'll make you think you're a two-year-old girl who loves being a princess… agreed?"

Less than two seconds later, Warren scowled and stormed off in the opposite direction from the rest of the group, causing David to grin in success, spinning around to join his friends.

He failed to notice Warren spin around and glare at them.

…

After almost half an hour of messing about in the snow, Remy couldn't help but notice something odd… the other teens (apart from Kurt and David's siblings) often cast wary glances towards David, still smiling, but always keeping the telepath in their sights.

When the snow had turned to slush and everyone began to feel the cold (aside from Bobby and Storm), they all decided to head to their own rooms. As David headed into the kitchen and then his own room to grab some snacks and films, Remy turned to Kurt. "I know I shouldn't' say, but in dat room, de others seemed-"

"-vary of David?"

Remy nodded at Kurt, frowning as the blue-skinned teen sighed wearily. "David's…. David's a telepath, as you know….and vith some telepaths, zere is another side to zem. Anozer personality let's say."

"Ano'er side to dem?"

Kurt nodded, "Zat's vhat ve call it…. It can be a bit more complicated zan zat."

Remy still looked confused, so Kurt hastened to explain. "For example, Jean…. She's one of ze assistant teachers here, has 'bonded' with somezing called ze 'Phoenix Force'. Behind mind barriers or under control, ze Phoenix helps a lot. But ze 'Dark Phoenix'… she's destroyed planets. Killed millions of people. Ze 'Dark Phoenix' is not Jean, it's anozer side of her. Understand?"

"Kind of… Ain't Professor Xavier a telepath?"

"Zat's more complicated zan Phoenix… Uncle Charles vas once forced to telepathically make his husband catatonic… and unknowingly absorbed his 'darker' personality. It called itself 'Onslaught' and kind of…. Merged vith Uncle's desires and frustrations. Vhen a young mutant was killed near the mansion, Onslaught took over. It vanted to vage var on the humans and vouldn't take no for an answer vhen it tried to recruit you."

"And dis was de Professor?!"

Kurt shook his head desperately, "No, it was anozer side of Uncle Charles, a darker side! That's vhat I'm trying to say…. It vas anozer side of him."

"Okay… so what about David?"

Sighing, Kurt glanced at the door to the bedroom, before continuing. "David…. Vent zrough somezing traumatic vhen he vas a kid. His mind kind of splintered into multiple personalities…. Ve didn't realise for a long time, until David got mad. Zey call zemselves Legion, as in Mark 5:9, 'My name is Legion- '"

"- 'for we are many.'" Finished Remy, shrugging at Kurt's surprised look, "Papa used t' take me t' church."

"Ja? Vell anyvay, Uncle Charles had to lock zese other sides up… but Legion scared us all. David's powerful enough anyvay, but vith Legion, it's beyond anyzing ve can imagine."

"And dat's why everyone's afraid of him? Because of Legion?"

Kurt shuddered slightly, "If you'd seen zem, any of zem… you'd be scared too."

"You don't seem scared of him."

"I'm ze one who's heard ze nightmares… I'm ze one who's seen how much David tries to remain in control, tries to keep Legion at bay!" Kurt's tail was quivering slightly in anger, "He has to be in control of his anger at all times, otherwise zat bastard vill get out again. David's criticised and feared for having zis personality, but not praised for controlling it!"

Remy's eyes were wide as Kurt sucked in a deep breath, clearly ready to continue his rant. However, before he could, Remy placed a gentle hand on the blue-skinned teen's shoulder. "I get it… we get looks of fear due to our physical mutations and what we can do, for t'ings out of our control. David, as a telepath with dis personality, gets de same response. You just want to protect him."

There was no response, as suddenly, the bedroom door opened and David strode in. One hand outstretched as he levitated bowl of crisps and popcorn into the room, and the other carrying several DVD's.

"Alright…" began the telepath, "… so I wasn't sure what you'd seen Rems, so I brought a selection and- "

He paused, taking in guilty expressions and surface thoughts of his friends. "What's going on?"

Kurt stuttered incoherently for a few moments, but eventually, Remy took pity on him and grinned at David. "We were jus' talkin' about how our powers first developed. It got a little tense…"

David clearly wasn't convinced, but the other two kept thoughts of developing powers at the fore-front of their minds, and eventually David relaxed and grinned. "Kurt's story is way more interesting than mine. I just tormented my sister by holding her doll up in the air."

Remy nodded as though he understood.

Balancing the snacks at the edge of the bed and throwing the DVD's onto the bed, "So…" began David, "… Action or Action?"

"How about Sci-Fi?"

"….yeah, I guess that's another option."
