I Knew One Day We Would Be Together Again
-Chapter
1-
"Hurry
up Remy, table 9 is still waiting for their order!" yelled the restaurant
manager, who was getting fed up with his constant daydreaming. Remy got up,
rubbed his eyes, and went back to work.
It was pretty late, and he was
very tired. He went up the elevator to his room, walked to bed wearily and just
lay down, not bothering to take his work clothes off. 'Johnny's gonna fire me
if I don' stop daydreamin' all de time' he thought to himself. He remembered
what was on his mind that day, and every other day before that. It was an image
of her, telling him how much she loved him, and that nothing would ever change
that. She looked so beautiful, with just enough light to bring out all her
perfect features, but then the dream would become a nightmare. She would start
laughing, and her beautiful green eyes would become black ones filled with
evil, and she would grab him by the neck and scream hateful words like "How
could yah believe that Ah would ever love yah after all yah have done, yah
disgust me!" and with that she would lift him high into the air, then drop him
into the icy wasteland below. The dream was always the same, and he would
always wake up scared, even though he didn't think he was ever scared of
anything in his entire life. "Chere, I'm so sorry for deceivin' you, I'll never
hurt you again", he said in a low whisper.
It had been 3 months since Rogue
had abandoned Remy in Antarctica. After weeks lost in the snow, he was lucky
enough to be found by an expedition team doing research, and was brought back
to New York with them. With nowhere to go, he took up a job in a restaurant,
and stayed in a hotel and lived his life, never daring to go back to the
mansion.
Xavier's
School for the Gifted:
"Rogue?
Are you all right?"
"Ah'm fine sugah, why yah
askin'?"
"You've been crying for the past
ten minutes. Sorry, I didn't mean to spy on you, but I'm worried for you"
"Bobby, thanks for carin', but I
would ratha be alone right now"
"Come on Rogue, it's been a long
time since Gambit's been gone, I don't think he's coming back. Don't blame
yourself for what happened, he deserved being left there after what he did, we
all would have done the same thing. After all, he did betray us"
"Ah didn' mean to leave him
there Bobby! Don't yah get it? He didn' betray us, Sinister tricked him into
it. Ah was so confused with all his thoughts and mine mixin up, Ah wasn'
thinkin' straight, that's why I left him there, and Ah'll nevah forgive mahself
for it!"
"It doesn't change the fact that
all those Morlocks died because of him! You need to let it go Rogue, you need
to move on"
"Ah would appreciate it if ya'd
leave, Ah know yah nevah liked him, but Ah loved him, so yah wouldn't
understand. I know yah only want to help, but the only thing that would make me
happy again is ta see him, alive and well"
"Alright, have it your way.
Later Rogue"
Professor Charles Xavier's Office
"As
we discussed Logan, I need you to go into New York City by tomorrow and find
out whether or not Cerebro's detection of Gambit was correct or not". Charles
Xavier, along with Beast and Storm, have been tuning Cerebro to be able to
detect Gambit, though it has been quite hard considering Remy's psi-shields, and the fact that it
failed twice before within the 3 months they have been searching for him. Rogue
had been searching for him in her own way, flying to Antarctica anytime she
could, but also with no luck.
"I hope this time we get him
Chuck, because if he's still alive, it would do good for a lot of us, includin'
Rogue and Storm." Wolverine knew that both x-women were very depressed, and he
wanted the Cajun back too, he was among only the few people in the x-mansion
that didn't piss him off all the time, like Scott did.
"Yes, I understand your concern
completely, and I have a feeling that this time we found him."
