Do You Want A Real Remy?

Chptr 8 : "Because He's So ADORABLE!!!"

  Remy sighed and relaxed, the wafting scent of cookies making his stomach growl. In five days he, Suni and Joey had established a firm and strong relationship with Linkin Park, and were merging to become the best of friends. He closed his eyes contentedly, acknowledging the gentle petting Suni was giving him.

"Hey, big boy."

"Hey, petite."

"What are you thinking about? You seem kind of calm."

" Remy be t'inking 'bout de time he is here wit' dese people. It be very peaceful."

"Yes, but wait until their holiday ends. It's so hectic, you'd give up."

"Really?"

"Yes. Imagine facing tons of screaming teens everyday, and lets not forget the media. Tons of shows, interviews…the works. In many ways, their work is worse then facing enemies like Magneto, Apocalypse and Sinister."

" Maybe, petite…but Remy misses dat fighting"

"And you miss more then that, don't you?"

"Well, Remy also miss his trips to de bar wit' Wolverine."

"Yes, but there's something else… isn't there?"

"Petite, you reading Remy's mind?"

"No, but I know how your mind works. Well?"

" Remy miss Stormy."

"That wasn't so hard now, was it?"

   Remy sighed, and looked at Suni, wondering how much she had figured out. Suni settled back on the sofa, watching him. Gently, she touched his cheek. "Remember Rem, I don't tell."

He smiled sadly, then turned and laid his head on her lap. " It…it be Remy's relationship with Storm."

"Can I make a guess?"

"Okay."

"You're in love with her."

  Remy blinked, then stared at her. Suni's dark eyes were gentle and warm. Lightly, Remy could feel waves of gentle affection emanating from her, and he knew she understood. Remy sighed. "Oui."

Suni sighed, and stroked his hair. "Want to talk about it?"

"Neh, Remy t'ink he just wanna keep it away from his mind fo' now."

Suni looked at him. "Well," she said softly, " I'll just give you one piece of advice. You are far more than what you take yourself to be. If you ever get the chance to tell her, do it. Tell her you love her, and show her how you feel. I know you can send emotions with your empathy. Send them to her, and show her your love. Promise me you'd do that."

Remy closed his eyes, and sighed. "Oui, petite. Remy promise."

Hank watched Storm leave the hospital room, looking better since Remy's disappearance. He knew just how much the X-Men were affected by Remy's vanishing act. The most affected was Storm, Logan and, not surprisingly…Rogue. He knew just how guilty Rogue was over the Antarctica incident, and how she quietly suffered instead of letting go of her pride and apologizing. And now, she could not even do that… Hank sighed. The things the X-Men did… it would be enough to fill a soap-opera for months.

  Storm went to the kitchen and made herself a sandwich before walking upstairs again. Scoot had left a message that the team had gone off on a mission, and only Wolverine, Angel and Hank were left. She sighed, and remembered the mess her attic was in. * Well, sorting it out seems to be a good idea, * she thought, and walked to her attic. Midflight, she stopped, wondering what Logan was doing. She walked to his room, and peeking in.

   He was there, looking out of the window. His hand was touching a beautiful sword, and there were tears running down his cheeks. She could see the pain on his face, the quiet, exhausted emotions that he had kept hidden from the rest of the X-Men. Storm knew of the odd, brother-like relationship Logan had with Remy since his Antarctica trip. Remy had often told her of how they went on trips together, and how Logan could constantly understand Remy, and how Remy could confide in him.

" Remy," Logan said softly, and his fist clenched around the sword.

"Logan?" she said softly, opening the door wider. He turned and looked her, his eyes showing his pain. Quietly, she slipped in, and hugged him. Sometimes, pain had to be shared.

Remy grinned as he played on Dave's bass guitar. Already, he was picking up the basics that Dave was teaching him and was creating tunes of his own to play. Joey was sitting on the floor of the basement, practice area for Linkin Park, with Joe cuddled beside her. He had taken to following her around, and Joey adored it… and him. Suni rolled her eyes as she watched Joey pat Joe and cuddle him like a six-year-old. Rob saw what she was rolling her eyes at and he grinned.

"You'd better get used to it," he said, smiling a little. "They keep cuddling everywhere, and it's not even a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Suni looked at him. "Then?" she questioned, looking puzzled. "I mean, why're they cuddling?"

"Don't know… kind of a " aww, he's so adorable…" thingy. Why don't you ask her, and you'll find out."

Suni glanced at him from her perch on his drum set. "Okay," she agreed.

"Hey Joey, why do you keep cuddling Joe like he's a little baby?"

  Joey looked at her, smiling away. " Because he's SO ADORABLE!!!!" And she cuddled him all the more, Joe happily snuggling in her cuddles. Suni sighed and shook her head. " One more for the Hahn," she said, and Rob snickered. Then he looked at her. "So how 'bout playing something on the drums?" he asked, grinning, and she blushed.

"Hey, I just started lessons, okay? Don't be hard on little me," she retorted, and his grin grew wider.

"Try me."

She scowled at him, and he started laughing. Remy looked up at them. "'Ey, Rob, don' go teasing Remy's li'l petite, neh?" he called, and Suni smirked at Rob, who raised his hands in defeat.

"Okay, I give up. Officially. Really, I do," he said before tackling Suni and tickling her.

He gasped in shock as the net was suddenly thrown over him. His powers ceased to work, and he was defenseless. He watched in anger and pain as one of the blindingly bright figures dragged him to a corner of the room, leaving him there. He wondered what they were going to do, and scowled when he saw them pick up the Remy doll he had created. He just knew that they'd spoil his fun… but he'll get free… then they'd be sorry…

Two weeks, a flight, a taxi and an afternoon nap later…

   Remy sighed and nuzzled Suni on the cheek, knowing she wouldn't mistake it for anything else but a brotherly nuzzle. She murmured and snuggled closer. He smiled and cuddled her. Very soon though, she opened her eyes and looked at him, and he smiled. He looked tired, and she knew why.

   Smuggling him back into her room was anything but easy. She had to distract her mom by telling her about some fictional guy she supposedly 'met' to let Remy sneak into the house and into her bedroom. By the time she could get free of her mother, she was exhausted. Then it was her brother and sister, wanting to know just what happened. She told them everything. Well, almost. She didn't talk about the kidnapping, though. She and Remy decided that it would be their secret, nothing more. When her siblings finally left her, she found Remy on her bed, sleeping. She just woke him and made him move enough for her to sleep. And now, almost four hours later, they were awake.

"Petite?"

"Yes?"

Does your fam'ly do dis whenever you go away?"

"What, the curiosity thing? Yeah, all the time. I get badgered about what I did to what I ate to who I saw… they're very curious."

"Don' you get irritated of all dat?"

"Yes, but they're just being concerned, so I guess it's okay."

"Petite?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you miss Remy… if he suddenly disappears?"

"Of course! You're like, my older brother or something… I'll definitely miss you. Wait a second… you're going?"

"Non, Remy don' think so…. Remy jus' wonderin'."

"Thank god…I don't want you to go yet."

   Remy shifted and put his arms around her, hugging her close. " Remy don' wanna go yet either," he said softly. She smiled, and went back to sleep.

The little figures began making amends and putting things back in order… they decided that the only way to close the time rip He had made in his playing was by returning the lost soul… it all went back to repairing skills… yet, things will be back to normal… or will they? Who can tell the future?

Scott got up and shut his alarm clock, yawning. He washed up and dressed, leaving Jean to sleep in, walking downstairs to the kitchen. On the way, he passed the hall, and wondered at the strange shape on the floor. He carefully walked to it, then gasped.
