1 Royal Flush



Remy lay on a bed. He stared at the ceiling. He had only been at the Institute for one day, but it seemed as if only Rogue and the woman called Ororo. In his time staying, simple things such as tooth brushes and socks had gone missing. Remy noticed that everyone seemed to make a point of it to ask Remy first, if he had seen the missing items. Remy scowled and tossed a card in the air. There was a knock on the door. Ororo walked in.

" Professor Xavier would like you to do a run in the Danger Room with the others." She said, her eyes glancing around the room. Remy could tell, as much as Ororo tried, she was starting to believe that he did steal the items. Remy sighed and got of the bed.

" Ah've never been in dere before. Is he sure he wants meh to do a session wit the X-men." He said, one eyebrow raised over his glistening red on black eyes.

" Since you did so well on your first session by yourself, Charles thinks you are ready." Remy raised an eyebrow again. Ororo never spoke of the professor as "Charles" to any of the other students. He shrugged his shoulders.

" Okay den." Ororo nodded her head and led Remy to the Danger Room.

As he walked in, the other X-men gave him glares, except Rogue who smiled for a brief moment and then turned away. Remy grinned and the simulation started. The Danger Room changed to an alley. In front of the group was another group of teenagers. One of them leapt forward and unleashed a long green tongue. Rogue grabbed the tongue and flung the person against the wall.

" Eww. That was gross." She said as she wiped her gloves. A person with a large stomach walked forward and started knocking the X-men down. Remy took out three cards and charged them. He threw them at the person. It only slowed him down a bit, but it gave Cyclops enough time to zap him and knock him against the wall. A silver blur came whizzing threw the alley and punched Remy in the stomach. Temporarily winded, Remy was more vulnerable. The blur continued to attack. Remy lashed with his leg and the blur stopped and toppled to the ground. Suddenly the earth began to shake and it collapsed beneath them. The X-men and Remy fell into a large pit. There was a bamfing sound. Remy turned to see that Kurt had teleported away with everyone except Evan and himself. Evan threw spikes into the walls of the hole and climbed out. Remy climbed after him. Remy threw a charged card at a boy with a bowl of clear glass on his head. It knocked the boy off balance and he fell to the ground with the others.

" Simulation Complete." Said the Danger Room. The alley faded away and Cyclops walked over to him.

" Nice job." He muttered. Then he walked away. Remy grinned triumphantly and then walked back to his room. He sat on his bed, shuffling his cards. Suddenly Evan burst through the door.

" Look, Remy. It's obvious you stole the stuff. Our stuff keeps disappearing and you are a thief." Remy looked at his bed.

" Sorry ta disappoint ya, but no. Remy did not steal anyt'ing." Evan scolwed. He walked out of the room. Remy swore he heard him mutter,

" Yeah right." Remy jumped off of his bed and walked out into the hall. He walked up the stairs at the end of the hall. He ended up on the roof of the mansion. He walked over to the edge and sat down. He looked up at the storm clouds. He heard footsteps and looked back.

" Hi Remy." Said Rogue. She walked over and sat down by him.

" Why do ya look so sad, cher?" Remy asked with obvious concern.

" My friend is accused of something he didn't do." Remy grinned. It began to rain. Rogue's gothic make-up smeared off to reveal perfect pinkish skin. Rogue smiled.

" We better go in." She stood up and started to go inside. Suddenly, she slipped on the wet roof and started fall. Her glove caught on the drain. The rest of her body hung like a rag doll off of the roof. She tried to pull herself up, but her other glove got caught in the drain and go pulled off.

" HEEEELLLLPPPP!" Rogue screamed as she fell off the roof and landed with a sickening crunch.
