Disclaimer: X-Men Evo isn't mine, nor will it ever be.

A/N: This chapter is going to be really short. It's kind of an intermission type of chapter. The good stuff is over, now comes the downfall. I've actually got the next two chapters after this one written, I just have no time to type them up and post them. I will try to get the next one up possibly this weekend. I hope this weeks episode of Evo is good. If its just Scott and Mystique the whole show, I probably won't be happy. I want more Gambit! I doubt he will be in this episode unfortunately. Ok I am done, on with the story.

Chapter 6- Truth And Lies

Most of the X-Men had stayed downstairs to watch some television and unwind from the nights events. Rogue bid everyone a good night, and quickly went up to her room to get ready for bed. All the while she thought of the events of that night. She got into bed, pulling the covers up to her chin.

"Ah wonder what he is doing now. Maybe he is thinking of meh the way ah'm thinking of him. Ah wonder if ah really mean something to him or if he is just playing. All ah know is that ah need to be cautious around him. He is the enemy, he could be trying to use me. But how ah feel whenever ah'm around him. Ah've never felt this way about anyone before. I hope he isn't trying to hurt meh."

Remy walked through the door into the Acolyte base, a rundown warehouse on the outskirts of town. In the center of the huge warehouse sat a living area. It simply consisted of a huge rug, two couches, an end table, and a television. John and Piotr were sitting across from each other on the couches. John was playing solitaire and Piotr was reading a magazine.

Remy took off his overcoat and threw it over the couch. "What's up guys?" he sighed.

"Nothing." John replied.

"You sound upset my card throwing comrade."

"Nah. Went to dat carnival."

This got John's attention. "See any cute girls?"

"Yeah." He smiled. "Carnival was borin.'" he lied.

The huge doors across the room quickly opened. Magneto stepped out. "Can I see you a minute Gambit?"

"Of course."

They walked back into his office. Magneto used his powers to shut the door.

"How is the mission going?" He asked.

"Fine." Remy quipped.

"Something wrong?"

"Non."

"There better not be. I am depending on you to pull this off. I need to break this girl before I can get her to leave the X-Men. You romance her, then break her heart. How hard is that?"

"Not hard at all."

"I didn't think so. What did you do with her tonight? You were with her right?"

"Oui. I followed her to dat carnival. Romanced her a little. I t'ink she gettin' used to me now."

"Good. Make her fall in love with you, then crush her. I want her out of the X-men, if possible on my side. She is a threat to me while she is the enemy. She is strong, a threat to my plan. She must be eliminated. Keep working on her, you are doing a good job so far. One more thing Remy."

"Oui?"

Magneto looked him square in the eyes. "Just don't fall in love with her."

"Yes, sir."

He turned and walked out of the room, heading towards the sanctuary of his bedroom. Remy, John and Piotr had each taken one of the rooms in the back of the warehouse and converted them into small bedrooms. Because there were no doors they threw blankets over a wire nailed into the doorways. Remy pulled the blanket closed and paced back and forth.

"Dat great, now he tells me not to fall in love wit' her. A little late, mon ami." He said sarcastically.

He closed his eyes and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry chere. Dis not what I had in mind."

He flopped onto the cot and stared at the ceiling. "Don't want to hurt you, but I have no choice. I can't betray Magneto. You losing your touch, homme. T'ought it would be easy to romance her, den drop her. I done it before. Never imagined dat I would start to care for her. What am I supposed to do? Betray de girl I care for, or betray de boss and pay de price. Who am I kiddin,' dat price probably be my life.



Told you it was short. Very short. The next chapters will be long again. This was just a kind of like an intermission chapter. Anyway, review guys, let me know what you think of it. See you soon with the next chapter, which will be called "Foolish Hearts."
