True Lament

Remy threw the cards one by one, hitting each droid in the danger room. He took out his metal bow from behind himself and continued attacking. He suddenly stopped, Bishop rose an eyebrow. "Gambit, there are still some droids left."
Remy looked to the side. "Rogue." He dropped everything and ran to the other side of the danger room. Bishop shrugged and followed. The Cajun kept on running until he spotted Rogue on the ground, her eyes closed shut. Remy quickly shot his eyes back at Bishop. "Turn off the program. Somet'ing's wrong."
Remy kneeled down. "Chere? You alright?" He held her up; she seemed to have passed out. He narrowed his eyes and picked her up. The danger room closed, and Bishop came back running. "What happened, LeBeau?"
"Couldn't tell ya… looks like de Doc has anot'er patient."
They finally reached Mr. McCoy's office, but Rogue finally reacted. She held tight onto Remy's jacket. "Stop… stop it!"
He growled. "Stop WHAT?"
Her eyes flashed opened… they turned brown. Light surrounded her as she levitated to the air. She yelled in pain as light shot out and re-entered her body. She fell, but quickly, Remy caught her. He looked at her… … something about what happened… it reminded him of Vincent… yes… his brown eyes. Remy's eyes widened. "Does dis mean…"
Hank walked out. "What is all the yelling about?"
Remy handed McCoy the girl in his arms. "Take care o' her. I need t' talk to de Professor."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"W-Where am I..?"
He opened his eyes and looked to the ground where a ripped doll lied. He brushed back his bangs and looked around. He was alone? But just a few moments ago a girl was in front of him… he was stopping her from causing pain to his new friend… He held onto his head. "Where am I?"
A light moved in the shape of a door. He stood up. Emma stood. *"Golem… are you alright?"*
He blinked. Who was this woman? He stepped back as he slowly began to remember. Rogue… Remy… Bishop… Chronomancer… the others… puppet. He was nothing but a puppet…He tightened his fists and ran towards the woman in front of him. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and was surrounded by a blue bubble. Emma sighed. *"I hope you understand I didn't do this to hurt you… I was saving you."*
He relaxed his fists and glared at her. "You have NO idea. You set me free NOW."
*"I'm sorry. I can't let you leave again. The other messengers have corrupted you. Letting you go would be a mistake."*
He narrowed his eyes and hit the bubble with all his power. He hit punch after punch in anger and pain. Emma looked at the doll on the ground. Vincent had separated from the doll…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Vincent's alive? But… how can dis be?"
Xavier sighed deeply. "Emma had given us an allusion… I can't believe I didn't see this trick of hers."
Remy growled and wanted to hit something so badly. What kind of freak would fake someone's death like that…? Especially the one of an innocent friend. Rogue was feeling bad for something that wasn't her fault whether Vincent was really dead or not! He hit is fists together. "Dat bitch!"
Xavier frowned. "I don't want you to try anything hasty."
Remy turned his back. "Hasty my ass! Listen, our friend can be in danger. He can fall into de hands o' Emma again… probably die for real Vincent has too much ahead o' himself t' see everyt'ing go away before his eyes. If dere is a chance to save him, I'll do what is takes." He looked away. "An' Rogue somehow suffers along wit him."
"It's because of a chain reaction. When Emma went to attack Rogue, Vincent tried to stop Emma…"
"What are you sayin'?"
"I suppose that whatever Emma tried to accomplish with Rogue was affected in Vincent and vice versa."
"I guess dat'll come handy. Professor, I'm going t' find Vincent… I'm goin' t' bring de ot'er six mutants wit me, and-"
He looked at the hall, where Kitty stood. Her eyes were moist with tears. Remy sighed. "How long you been dere, Petite?"
"I'm going too!"
"Kitty…"
"Nuh-uh! Vincent is still alive! I'm helping!"
He sighed. "Fine. Whatever y' wan'…"
Later that day, he walked into Mr. McCoy's office. Once he thought about it… that was the second place he spent the most time in other than the danger room. He laughed a little and sat Rogue sitting on the bed staring at her lap. "You alright? You remember what happened?"
She looked at him. She was silent at first, but sighed. "I was there… … I… I felt Vince's pain."
"Vince is still alive."
She held tight on the covers and looked away. "That's not funny."
"Not jokin'… me an' de ot'ers are leavin' tomorrow to get him back." He sat down on the bed side. "You in?"
She grunted. "Yeah right, like I'm going to miss out on something like that."
He smirked. "Good." A pause came and he looked at her shaking hands, soon holding them gently. "So… how was it like?"
Rogue closed her eyes. "More terrifying than anything I've ever witnessed… damn… to think this is all happening my junior year."
Remy stood. "Guess it could be worse."
"Ha! How?"
"You could've never met me." He winked. She grumbled. "You're so full of it." They were "together" but it was funny… it was not much different from how they usually acted around one another…
He kissed her forehead. "Sleep well, Chere. See ya tomorrow." He walked out.
Nope. Nothing changed… except the satisfying feeling Remy had that Rogue felt the same about him as he did her…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*I had a family… … yes, I did… … they all died, though… I was in the orphanage. All the kids were afraid of me, I didn't know why. I just stood observing them. What made me so different from them? Soon, the only thing that comforted me came: a voice of a little girl. She would talk to me, I would talk to her aloud, but only when no one was looking. Soon, Emma said she wanted to play with me. I didn't know what she meant by play, but I thought it was to toss around a ball. Before I knew it, I was with her. She looked so lonely, but happy I was there. She took out a doll. Pain. Infuriating pain. NO! STOP IT! STOP THE PAIN! NO! NO! NO!*
Vincent's eyes snapped open. He looked at the ground where Emma was asleep. She actually slept? He sighed in sadness: he was still in the bubble. Dammit. There seemed like no escape. He powered up an energy ball in his hands. It was worth a shot… he threw the ball against the blue bubble. No change, except the impact hit Vincent as well. He touched the back of his neck… … Golem still remained… but how was that possible? The doll was mangled and on the ground. He closed his eyes. It was the shameful reminder of what he was… and probably still is.
