It was a sunny afternoon in the X-mansion and everyone was doing their own thing. Scott and Jean were under a tree discussing matters concerning the x-men. Bobby and Warren were playing some one-on-one baseball. Most of the rest were swimming. Hank, also known as Beast, was in the lab working on some experiments. And Jubilee was busy trying to determine why Logan was packing and preparing to leave without telling anyone, and it didn't look like he was having much luck getting her off his back.
"Come on Wolvie, where ya
goin'?"
"It has nothing to do with you
kid, now if you don't mind, I really need to get outta here", and with that, he
threw his last bag into the trunk and was ready to take off.
"Your not getting away that
easy", Jubilee said as she cut him off, "I wanna know where your goin' and I'm
not gonna leave you alone 'till you tell me!"
"Is that so?", Wolverine smiled
and extended his claws, knowing this would scare her enough to back away.
"Ha, you think that's gonna work
on me? Now put those bad boys away and let me in on your little secret, please
please PLEASE!!!!"
"Damn, you know me too well.
Listen, I'm not supposed to tell no one about this, but sein' as you ain't
planning on letting go, I'll tell you. We think we've found the Cajun." How
could he resist suck a cute girl? Besides, One-eyes made the rule about keepin'
it a secret anyway, and he didn't care too much about followin' those rules.
"You found Gambit! That's great
news Wolverine!! I don't understand why you wouldn't tell the others about it"
"Cyclops made the rule, and the
Professor agreed. But listen good, I said we think we found him, and I'm gonna
go check it out, but promise me you ain't gonna tell no one kid"
"I promise! You can count on me.
But I hope your right about findin' him, cause I don't wanna believe he's
dead…"
"None of us want to believe
that, so we're gonna keep tryin'. Now I gotta go, remember what I said, later
Jubes"
"Stop worryin'! I'm gonna miss
you Wolvie…..and good luck"
"Thanks. Bye." Wolverine got
into his jeep and quickly got out before someone else decided to get curious.
The trial had taken a huge tow
on Ororo Munroe, a.k.a. Storm. She was desperately struggling with herself and
trying to deal with inner conflicts. Remy had been one of her longtime friends,
and she couldn't believe he was involved in her peoples' massacre. But she had
already made a decision. He didn't do it intentionally, and just like he was
her through tough times, she wouldn't turn her back on him either, that's is,
if he was still alive, which something inside of her told her was true. She
didn't know much about him, but he was a survivor, not someone who would give
up that easy, and this kept him very much alive in her heart. She was so deep
in thought she didn't notice the person walking into her garden.
"Hey 'Ro, what yah up ta?"
"Nothing child, is there
something you needed?"
"No. Just came ta say hi, and ta
talk, if yoah not busy that is"
"Not at all Rogue, what's on
your mind?"
"Ah came ta ask yah if Remy….Ah
mean….if Cerebro found anythin' yet". Storm looked at Rogue, knowing all too
well the pain she was going through. She had reconciled with Rogue a month and
a half after what happened in Antarctica. She accepted Rogue's apology and
believed that the trial had caused past memories to surface, which made it
almost impossible for Rogue to control her feelings when she abandoned him. Her
anger at Rogue for leaving him was a thing of the past. She knew her love for
him was too great, and the last thing she wanted was to leave him to die.
"I'm sorry, but we haven't found
anything"
"No need ta apologize, Ah know
how hard yah've been workin' ta find him. Maybe we need to accept tha fact that
he may not be alive." Rogue started to cry.
"Do not give up Rogue, we must
have hope." Storm comforted Rogue, trying to ease her tears.
"Ah……..It's just so hard ta deal
with, not knowin' whetha he's out there or not, Ah did leave him in tha coldest
place on earth"
"Stop blaming yourself child.
Keep positive thoughts instead of negative ones, let your mind and body rest,
we're all very worried over your condition these past months." Storm was doing
her best to reassure her, because she was afraid of what Rogue would do if Remy
was dead.
"Thanks foah tha concern, but Ah
can't sleep, Ah just keep havin' these awful nightmares and…….sorry Storm, but
Ah need ta be alone right now." Before Storm could say another word, Rogue flew
as fast as she could back to her room, not wanting to break down completely in
front of her friend. Her room was a safe haven from everyone, where she could
organize her thoughts and release her emotions without a crowd.
I
hope everyone likes it so far, and thanks for the reviews, they were great. I'll
try to add the next chapter as soon as possible, which is finally gonna be more
to the point of Gambit coming back!
