"Hold on! I gotcha!"
He held onto her arms and quickly pulled Rogue up from the ledge. The purple haired one looked back. "Come on! We have no time to waste!"
Remy began running, making sure Rogue was behind him. He looked back at Betsy. "Look, Psylocke, Rogue is still a little light headed…she just started feeling better today…"
Betsy nodded. "Just get here as fast as you can." She began fighting the droids where she stood. Remy reached into his pockets and shot his charged up cards to his incoming enemies. He checked back on Rogue. "You doin' alright dere?"
She nodded. This was challenging for Remy… he wasn't used to work in a team. He was more used to a group and separate people do their job-- if they couldn't handle it, they rarely get assistance. Maybe it was a good idea to join the X-Men after all. "GAMBIT! Stop daydreaming and get over here!" Remy nodded and grabbed Rogue's arm. "You're moving too slow."
She grunted. "Oh, thanks."
He smirked at her, and began to run and dodge various droid attacks. Finally, he reached Betsy. The session ended… for now. The danger room changed back to its normal settings. Rogue wiped the sweat from her brow. She grimaced. "Why do we have to work? Its summer…ugh."
Betsy smiled. "The more we work together, the more chance we have to succeed. This particular battle against… whatever it is: Emma or not… wont be easy."
Remy brushed back his long bangs and leaned against the wall. "Do you t'ink dere is any information o' a mutant named Lady Frost?"
Betsy sighed. "No… … ever since Emma disappeared, there had been no later records… but there have been of Vincent Rath, but they are inaccessible."
Remy smirked his classic "I know something you don't know" smirk. Rogue sighed. "What is it?"
"I can hack into de main computers… maybe dat will help?"
"Ain't that illegal?" Rogue folded her arms.
Remy looked at her. "You jus' have to ruin all my fun, don't you?"
Betsy suspired. "I'm afraid we can't even hack. Vincent Rath's records are impossible to get into. Trust me, I've tried."
"Sorry to interrupt." Scott walked in. The three looked at him. Scott smiled. "I hope you guys know you don't have to do this alone. Everyone else in this school would be more than happy to help."
Betsy smiled. "That's very generous of you… but it will be fine."
Remy dressed back into his normal clothes. When using the danger room, he had to wear an X-Men uniform… and along with that, he decided to join… same with Betsy. His uniform was all black, at the sides were the "X" symbols, he had a green-colored plate-like armor on his chest, and had black-colored boots. He didn't think it was the greatest thing he's ever worn, but he didn't care. It was just clothes. Betsy wore a cute ensemble of blue and back. Remy didn't quite understand the whole matching team- clothing deal, but he didn't care. He was tired. They had been training all morning.
He lied on the couch and closed his eyes. They were only going to prepare for a short amount of time… soon, they should be off to find any remaining victims and fight Emma… or help her… whatever they decided in the end. He, for one, wanted to fight her… but the girls seemed to have a different state of mind about the whole thing.
Rogue walked in, wearing her normal clothes. She walked over to the living room and sat on the armchair next to Remy. She sighed. "Want something to drink?" Remy smiled, his eyes still closed. "Dat's alright, Chere… I already got me somet'ing."
Rogue stood up. "I'm going to take a walk… school's going to start next week… better live up life. I'll see you later."
Remy opened one eye and sat up. "Hold on, Chere… can I come wit you?"
She shrugged. "Sure."
The walked through the park. Remy began to laugh a little. She looked at him. "What?"
"Jus'… … de first time we met. It was a little strange, non?"
She sighed. "You're not going to get a second apology from me."
He looked at her. "Dat's alright. I wasn't expecting another one." They continued walking. "What are you going t' do 'bout school…? What if we're gone?"
"Xavier will excuse me. I'll make it up later, I guess." She looked at him. "You're eighteen, right? Are you going to college or high school?"
"High school." He smiled. "You'll show me around, right?"
She laughed. "Sure."
It was nice. Rogue soon easily trusted him. Remy liked being able to talk to her without being shut out all the time… although sometimes she would not respond to some questions. It was alright… Remy had things he wouldn't dare tell anyone either.
Rogue stopped. Remy looked at her. "What is it?"
She narrowed her eyes. "Is it just me… or is that Golem?"
Remy looked over to see a large muscular man… no armor… but loose clothes. This looked suspicious. He looked at Rogue. "I want you t' back me up… if he starts attacking, I want you t' join in, alright?" She nodded. Remy cautiously approached Vincent and walked in front of the gigantic man. Their eyes met. Remy was the first to speak. "Decided not t' kill me today?"
Vincent shook his head. "Emma didn't want me anymore… … I came to find you, Betsy, and the Rogue girl… I want to help you defeat her."
Remy narrowed his eyes. "How do I know you're telling the truth…?"
Vincent's eyes became bare… "I have learned that Emma wasn't to be trusted."
Remy grunted. "Bull! Emma's planning somethin', isn't she?"
"I don't know."
Remy smirked. The only way to truly find out… he had to attack Vincent, and if Vincent didn't attack back… he could be somewhat trusted. Remy learned, after fighting against Vincent for so long, that he was the kind to fight back and fight period… not the kind to think. Remy cracked his knuckles and punched Vincent square on the jaw. Nothing.
Vincent sighed and rubbed his jaw. "You want the whole truth? Emma wanted me to go undercover and fight you again… I was ready… but… she attacked my mind… I couldn't handle it. I trusted her, and she..." He closed his eyes tightly. He made fists with his hands. "I… I couldn't take it anymore." He opened his eyes. "If you want to kill me, LeBeau, go right on ahead."
Remy looked at him. His face was sincere. He grunted. "Prove dat Emma attacked you, an' maybe I'll trust you…"
Vincent pulled up his sleeve, and sure enough a large gash ran down his arm, stitched… The Cajun looked closely. It was real. Very real. He touched it… Vincent flinched. Yes. It was real. "Why did she attack you? … You were practically her loyal servant."
"She was mad… mad that I wasn't able to kill you."
"Do you know where she is?"
"I don't remember…"
Remy looked back. "Rogue, it's alright. C'mere."
She walked towards the two. "So… you're with us, Golem?"
He nodded.
Betsy watched from afar. Vincent couldn't be trusted… no…
Rogue sat in the mansion with Remy. "You think it was alright to keep Golem in an apartment?"
Remy nodded. "Betsy said it was best… I have t' agree wit her."
He looked at her. She looked tired. "Why wont you go t' bed?"
She looked at him and shrugged. "I'm not comforted enough to sleep… I have a bad feeling about everything."
Remy smiled. "Jus' relax, Chere… I ain't gonna let anyt'ing happen t' you… you should know dat."
She grunted. "I don't need a man to try to protect me. I'm fine… maybe I should TRY to sleep…" She yawned. She slowly closed her eyes. Remy couldn't help but move closer to her. When her eyes closed, she almost looked like an angel.
She had already fallen asleep and leaned her head back against his shoulder. She sure was a fast sleeper… He smelled her hair… the smell of flowers. He looked down at her again. He began to wonder if she knew how beautiful she was… He picked her up and walked towards her room. He lied her on the bed and covered her. "G'night, Chere."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Golem stood alone in the apartment. He looked onto his hands. Emma had left him alone…? He closed his eyes and sighed full of lament. Emma had left him alone… she had attacked him… she had no use for him any longer. He had to decide what path he was to choose. The path with the other three mutants, the three that will put a stop to whatever Emma was planning… or rejoin Lady Frost and have someone else to think for him again. No… it was forbidden to think. Vincent quickly made his mind blank and fell asleep. Emma would yell at him if she found out he was thinking again.

End of chapter eleven!!! whooo! I took some advice and decided to focus a little more on the characters here. I wanted to develop a BIT more with the Rogue/Remy relationship before I got to the "Journey". As for Emma… what does she want? Well, that's why I'm writing this fanfic! YOU will find out!! ^_^ heehee. Thanks again for the reviews! Once again, they got me out of a little writer's block I had in the middle of this chapter. ^_^ yay reviews! REVIEW! REVIEW!
