Yes I know it has been quite a while since I posted but the stress of work and life in general came crashing down on me! Hmmm.. so i've decided to runnaway from it ALL and to take my mind off it by writing this! Anyway as i'm sure you've read the other chapter that used to be this one but basically I decided that it totally sucked! Though it was like 2am or something so I wasn't really paying attention. But now i've actually thought about it the story has gone an ENTIRELY different way! Ah well! Sure it's much more interesting now! So anyway the new and improved chapter 3! Yep yep yep!

****

Remy wandered aimlessly around the streets of Bayville, he wasn't walking anywhere in particular he just felt that he needed to get away from the other alcolytes, since Magneto had heard of a threat of a powerful mutent threatening to destroy the world he had become slightly obsessed at stopping it. ~probably just mad that he don't get to do it first!~ He started smirking to himself about the thought of Magneto actually trying to defend those who he found 'insignificant' to himself. Loosing his train of thought he caught sight of a young girl walking around not really paying attention to her actions. It wasn't until he got closer that he saw who it was, it was obvious from the two white bangs that fell around her face. He stood watching her for a moment, her small, fragile figure. The way her hair was messily pulled into a ponytail leaving her white bangs to fall across her face. It was suprising to see her out and about at what was around 3am.

"You alright there chere? What you doin' so late out here all alone?"

She turned suddenly and he got a glimpse of her eyes, the way they were sparkling in the light of the nearby lamplight. Remy stood staring into her eyes, he couldn't bare to turn away from them. ~what be wrong with me? Remy LeBeau does not fall from one femme! She be no different from any of de other femmes! Then why can' i take my eyes off her?~

"Errr.. nothin' an' what are you doin' out here followin' me?"

He had to laugh she was definatly not like anyother girl he met, she was spirited and he loved the way that she was, she was a challenge and he loved challenges.

"I not be followin' tu, mais if you wan' me to follow yo' i be more den happy to"

He felt this overpowering erge to help her, he had no idea why but he had to try, it tore his heart apart to see her looking so vunerable and lost. His heart and mind was pulling him in two different directions, his heart begging to pull her close to hold her in his arms forever and yet his mind was telling him to move on 'why bother it not be like you can touch her! She jus' be another fille like all the rest of em.' He was so confused, Remy LeBeau master thief and sex god to women having confused feelings over a young girl that was untouchable. He stood for what seemed like hours, when really was a couple of seconds, fighting between his heart and his head, his Tantie Mattie always said 'always follow your heart', so he did.

"Look chere i jus' be takin' a walk an' i happen upon you, who seemed very upset an' scared, plus i'm sure your 'teachers' wouldn't let you out walkin' at dis time o' de night, so tell Remy what really be buggin' ya an' he promise to help as much as possible, k?"

He knew that she never opened up and that it was pointless to ask but inside he hoped that she would feel the same, yet he watched her unconsiously holding his breath, waiting for her answer. ~What be wrong wiv you Remy!~

"It's just that..."

At first he was shocked and letting out the breath he was holding, she was willing to talk to him when she rarely spoke to anyone, why? He didn't care as long as he would be the one to help.

"....Oh shit!"

This brought him back to reality as he watched as the fear became evident in her eyes. He looked at the source to see a black van on the otherside of the street open with two men standing infront of it holding guns.

"Give the girl over kid and we'll take it easy on you!"

He looked over to find Rogue now by his side, he knew she was scared yet she was scowling towards them, it was as if she thought if she made that face then they would turn tail and run, as he had seen some of the students do when he was at the institute.

"I don' tink de fille be dat easy to take, an' you certanly won't be takin' it easy on me cause i can take you no prob!"

*click click*

As the men began to load thier guns he took out a few playing cards and charged them as much as he could in the given time. Throwing them at thier feet the cards exploded slightly, not enough to hurt them just enough to shock them giving Rogue and himself a chance to charge them. He ran forward giving a firm uppercut to the man on the left, he recovered quickly considering the force which he had used. He fought the man effortlessly whilst keeping his eyes on Rogue who herself was fighting him off easily, with a final kick she sent the man slamming into the van. However looking over to Rogue he lost his concentration and attention, so missed the second man who had crept up behind him. *crack* His word seemed fuzzy as he was hit over the head with the end of a gun, he fell to his knees clutching the back of his head.
She aimed the last kick to his chest sending him back into the van knocking him unconsious in the process. Smirking at her victory she turned to see Remy watching her, she wanted just to forget where she was, to watch his eyes sparkle in mischief and to watch them watching her, it made her feel warm inside to know that he was there for her, though with what was happening around her she was soon brought back to reality. She watched as if in a second he was hit over his head by a man with a gun.

"Remy!"

She was going to intercept but a man wearing sunglasses walked out the van infront of her. He was taller then she was but not by much, he had a strong build which showed through the suit which he was wearing. He stood with his head cocked to the side and smirking in amusement.

"What you smialin about?"

She spat the words out venemously to make out the point that she was pissed, all she needed to do was to knock him out so that she could help out Remy. He chuckled slightly making her even more aggrevaited.

"Ah Rogue my dear sweet girl, i thought you of all people would remember me"

He chuckled, as Rogue glanced over behind him where Remy was stood fighting off a big group of men off, though it was nothing he couldn't handle.

"After all i was the one who saved you from that barbaric mother of yours"

This made her snap back to reality as she looked in shock at him. He just stood there a smirk across his face as he looked amusingly at the face she had just made. ~he's lyin', he has to be! He doesn't know anythin' about me! Though there is a way to faind out~ Though normally she would never resort to using her powers he had pushed her, she had no choice. She slid off her glove on her right hand. ~maight as well kill two birds with one stone~ With her now ungloved hand she punched the guy squarly in the jaw with all her strength sending him crashing to the floor. Of course as her hand had come in contact with his skin her mutation got to work flooding her mind with his memories. The stood eyes closed as images of steel rooms, of experiments, of children flashed through her mind. It took her a second to get over the memories that had taken over, but she soon had it under control. Opening her eyes she found two red on black ones staring at her. Before giving her the chance to speak he grabbed her hand leading them away from the scene before more showed up.

As they got further away she slowed down still trying to understand all the images she had just seen. He mind was a jumble, normally she was able to sort out the memories and things without much difficulty but for some reason she found it hard to comprehend where his memories stopped and hers started. Finally her exhausion took over as she felt her knees buckle, though the feeling of the hard concrete floor never came as she was swept up by Remy who carried on moving as she felt the darkness take over.

~~

She opened her eyes and found herself standing in a labour theatre, it was practically empty and was cold and grey, nothing like the warm comforting rooms that are associated with delivering babies. On the bed lying was a women, she seemed familiar, but she couldn't make her out because there was a number of doctors and nurses all rushing around infront of her. There was a scream that showed that the baby was born, and the room was filled with the babies screams, and soon as it was delivered the doctors took it away to get it cleaned up. This then gave Rogue a clear view of the mother who lay breathing heavily and covered in sweat, as soon as she saw her she knew that it was the women from her dream though still couldn't quite comprihend why she was in this memory. The doctor approached her with the baby wrapped in pink blankets.

"Would you like to hold your newly born daughter?"

The doctor hovered around her face but she turned away refusing to look at it. Instead she just replied bitterly.

"Get that thing away from me!"

The doctor turned pleadingly to the other figure in the room who Rogue hadn't noticed until now, it was the man from the street. She watched as he gestured the doctor not to force her. The women still faced the other way waiting for him to move away from her. "if you come near me with it i'll kill it! I swear I will! Take it away! Experiment on it I don't care as long as I don't have to see it again!"

The doctor turned away defeated, and gave the baby to the man instead.

"She as you predicted does have the mutent gene, though it lies dormant and will do for many many years, if i think right it will only become active when she hits puberty so I don't see what use you have with the child, but as you have an agreement with the mother she is yours"

"Thank you and I am fully aware that the gene is dormant but we have our ways. Now if we are done here I shall leave you to deal with her mother"

Finding the doctor made no objection he turned tail and left with the newly born child in his arms. The world around her began to fade and Rogue was blinded by a bright white light forcing her to shield her eyes with her hands. Thats when she was able to take in her surroundings, she was lying in the crisp white sheets of the med lab back at the institute. Her eyes focused to find Hank fussing over various machines around her and Logan, Orora and the proffeseur talking just outside the door. She felt a squeeze on her hand and looked to find Remy sat on the chair next to her, eyes blazing watching her.

"Back to de land of de living I see!"

He gave her one of his trademark smiles before she was suddenly bonbarded with questions and lectures from her teachers.
