Rogue jumped out of her chair. "You mean there are others that were attacked by Emma?"
Xavier nodded. "Yes… I think there are a few things you might want to know about her."
"Yeah?"
"She was titled insane as a child. She stayed in the insane asylum for plenty of years, until they had found out she was a mutant, and she was behaving well. So, they let Emma free, and after that no one had ever seen her… she just vanished."
Rogue looked off to the side. She saw this… she saw it in a minor vision… … was Emma not through with her yet? She sighed and looked at the ground. Somehow, her heart felt so heavy… as if it was able to fall to the pit of her stomach. The Professor sighed. "I don't want you to worry. I'm sure something will turn up and we can fix all of this somehow."
All the kids went out for ice cream. The guys sat at their own table, having a race on who ate their ice cream the fastest. The competitors: Kurt VS Evan. The males began hooting. "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"
Evan was a good challenger, but Kurt was confident in himself. He practically wolfed the whole thing down. Kurt stood on top of the table and waved his hand in the air. The men cheered. "YEAH KURT!" "WHOOHOO!"
Soon, it got to him. He froze like a popsicle and fell off the table as still as a statue. He fell to the ground on his side and held onto his head. He began to spaz as if he had too much sugar in his system. "COOOOOOOOLD!!!!"
The guys and the girls laughed… especially after Evan was done and soon on the ground next to Kurt holding onto his head, doing almost the exact same thing. Rogue looked off to the other side of the ice cream shop… she saw a man standing there… looking at the parking lot. She tilted her head and realized that it was the guy she saw the other day. She grunted and looked away. Kitty tapped her shoulder. "Ummm… Rogue…?"
Rogue looked at Kitty from the corner of her eyes. 'What…?"
"I think that guy over there is looking at you."
She looked over to see him. She scoffed.
"Do you know him?"
Rogue sighed. "I bumped into him yesterday. I didn't catch his name."
Kitty smiled. "He's cute… go talk to him."
"What? Are you stupid? I'm not interested."
"Why not?"
"He… he…" She knew it was HER fault she fell down… but… UGH. "He just gets on my nerves, that's all."
Kitty blinked. "If you just bumped into him… you should at least get to know him better before you make final judgements… right?"
Rogue looked over a Kurt and Evan and laughed a little. "And miss this? This is priceless!"
Kitty folded her arms. "Stop trying to make excuses. Talk to him."
Why oh why did she listen to her? She didn't know, but before she knew it, she was walking towards him and sat down with a growl. He looked at her. "Uh… nice t' see you too?" She looked at him. "I'm sorry for yelling at you yesterday… I don't even know you… that was uncalled for."
He shrugged. "It's alright." He showed her his hand. "De name's Remy."
She took it with her right hand. "Rogue."
"I couldn't help but notice de scratch on your left arm…"
"It's nothing. Just a little accident."
He leaned back on his chair. "You don happen to be a mutant, would you?"
She jumped. "No way. Me? A mutant? No."
He touched a spoon. "I see." The spoon began to light up in the shade of red that was in his eyes and he threw it into the lake near by. An explosion followed.
She looked at him. She should've guessed. Remy's eyes gave it away: Black with red pupils. "You're a mutant…? You DO know that's not safe to tell people."
He laughed. "Yeah… but I KNOW you're a mutant, Chere."
She looked away. "How could you tell?"
He looked at her cut. "First of all, Emma only attacks mutants… very few humans."
She didn't know how to react… she couldn't trust him, could she? "How do you know about Emma?"
He stood up. "Y' can say I got a little visit from 'er myself."
Rogue blinked. He pulled up his sleeve and showed her the scar on his left shoulder. He smiled at her. "Y' got lucky, Chere. One t'ing you gotta know is to never give up on yourself."
Rogue stood up. "Why is Emma doing this?" He began walking. She growled and ran after him. "Hey! I'm talking to you! Do you know?"
He looked back at her. "You know, Chere… I have t'ings t' do. I can't spend all m' time tryin' to help you. I have m' own problems."
Rogue wasn't going to allow this man to just leave after giving her a hint that he knew more about Emma than she did. She grabbed his shoulder. He stopped. "Hey! Look, I know we all got problems, but you can't just say something like that and then just leave!"
"Heh…and 'Don't expect me t' thank you. You were de reason why I fell anyway' is acceptable? Don't get me wrong. I wish de best for ya, Chere. I hope y' survive."
Man, he was REALLY getting on her nerves. "NO! You're GOING to see me again and you're GOING to tell me about EMMA! Got that? In the park at seven!"
He smirked. "Alright. Sounds like a date, Chere." He winked at her and resumed walking. Rogue stood there… as still as Kurt stood when he had the brain freeze. … … She couldn't believe she just fell for that… AUGH! That guy got in her nerves!
Kurt jumped. "You have a date???!!!"
Rogue groaned. "Please, don't make this anymore moronic than it already is. This guy completely creeps me out. He tries so hard to be nice. He's such a jackass."
The elf laughed. "Well, you're stuck dating a jackass. Have fun."
Rogue arrived at the park. She sat on the bench and looked over to see Remy leaning against the tree. He smirked at her. "So, you didn't back down, eh?"
She groaned. "Let's get this over with."
He sat down. "What do you want to know about Emma?"
"What does she want?"
"Don rightly know. Emma does t'ings if she wants to. T' tell you de truth, Chere… I was hopin' you'd know… I might have a guess…"
Rogue sighed. Great. Just great. She's stuck on a "date" with a guy that doesn't know any more than SHE does. Perfect. She stood up. "Well, I can happily say this was pointless. Good night." She began walking. Remy stood up. "Hold up, Chere. Look, I know you want t' find dis out as bad as I do. Luckily, I ran int' you… and hopefully our questions will be answered if we work t'gether."
She folded her arms across her chest. "What are you saying?"
"I'm sayin' dat you should come wit me to find de others dat have gone through what we have. Emma is a strong mutant, capable o' causing all sort o' mischief."
"Why did you say to never give up on myself earlier today?"
"Emma will try all she can t' break your defenses. I t'ink she's working for someone else."
Rogue shook her head. She was bent on proving Remy wrong. "No… … I'm pretty sure she isn't. Emma is alone and scared. Maybe all she wants is help."
Remy sighed. "Dat was Emma when she was jus' a little girl. Now dat she has grown wit a broken innocence, and a dark past… she wants not'ing more dan pain an' sufferin'…dat's what I believe… or someone else wishes it, but chose Emma t' do de dirty work."
"YOU believe? What if you're wrong, huh?"
"Rogue, t'ink of it dis way… why would she hurt us if dat's not what she wants?"
Checkmate. He had a point. Rogue sighed. "See? You DO know more than me."
He stood up. "Well, Chere, I'll let you t'ink about it. I'll be here for two more days. If you want t' come wit', find me." He began walking. Instantly the sky shot with a fiery light, making a sound louder than fireworks. Remy muttered and took out a weapon from his black trench coat… a metal pole. Rogue's eyes widened as she looked at the light. "What IS that??"
He looked back at her. "Its best you leave..."
She growled. "Oh yeah? What, you think I can't do anything?"
He rolled his eyes. "You know, y' can make yourself useful an' get outta here."
"Not until I find out what that… THING is!"
He looked back in front of him, and narrowed his eyes. "Whatever. Your funeral." He focused towards the red light. There was something behind it… did Rogue detect another mutant? The light lowered towards the ground. Remy began running towards where it would land. Rogue followed.
The light landed onto the street and the light dimmed to reveal a mutant. Remy grabbed cards from his pockets and charged them with the same energy he charged the spoon with earlier in the day. He thew them at the dimming light. The mutant stood still. Remy was soon close enough for close combat. He hit the mutant in the stomach with the pole and flipped back. The mutant quickly recovered and slowly walked towards him. He drew out more cards, charged them, and threw them. The mutant remained looking un-touched and closed in on Remy. It grabbed him on the neck, but quickly Remy reacted with a few good cards in his hands and hitting the mutant on the face.
Rogue scoffed. There was no way she was going to help him… he brought this down on himself. Suddenly, a loud CRUNCH sound was heard. Rogue looked at the fight to see Remy holding onto his arm, which fell limp… it was beginning to bleed, and yet he was still fighting. She knew she was going to regret this… but she didn't want the guy to die… not that badly anyway. She ran to the unknown mutant, took off her gloves, and touched it. The mutant fell to the ground, and as it was stunned Rogue shot it with it's own power. It jumped back and all of a sudden disappeared.
Rogue put her gloves back on. It was easier than she thought… but of course Remy wore it down so much that she was able to touch it. He still held onto his arm and looked at her. He cringed at the pain that came from his broken arm. "Not bad."
She smirked. "Maybe next time, Einstein, you'll let me help you?"
He sighed. "Alright, alright. I got it. You don have to rub it in Remy's face."
She was REALLY going to regret this. "Do you have a place to go…? To take care of that arm?"
He shrugged. "Non, not really."
She groaned. "Fine, come with me."
The mutant stood on the top of the building and watched… it tried not to move. It was too weak to even try to attack now. He spat on the ground and closed his eyes. "I am sorry… I have failed you, Lady Frost."
*Think nothing of it. And call me Emma, for the last time. You have to kill that Cajun soon… he's giving Rogue ideas…. Understand?*
"Yes."
*Good… now… return to me*
