A/N: Just thought I would tell ya'll again in case you missed the post at
the bottom of the lst chapter that this chapter will be from Remy's point
of view!! Have fun reading and don't forget to review!! And now ON WITH THE
FIC!!
Remy pulled into the parking lot outside of his apartment complex. He preferred to rent the space and live on his on instead of in that stuffy underground compound of Magneto's. Gambit didn't trust very many people, but he trusted Magneto least of all. If the untimely circumstances that had led to Magneto blackmailing him had not occurred, who knows where he would be right now. A grin broke out across Remy's face. 'Remy can think of one place he would sure like to be,' he thought as he glanced behind him at the motorcycle. 'Chere not gonna be happy ol' Gambit took de bike, but it at least it give me a reason to see her again.' Remy made his way up the stairs and into his apartment. He had just enough time to shower and change before he had to head out to Magneto's lair. Thirty minutes later Remy found himself stepping off of the lift leading into the tunnels of Magneto's hideout. Taking the first door on the right he entered the control room. There he found the other mutants that made up Magneto's Acolytes. Pyro was in a similar situation to Remy. Magneto had something on him, blackmail that allowed the Master of Magnetism to control the flame wielding mutant. Collosus and Sabertooth on the other hand, were here under entirely different circumstances. Magneto had held Collosus' family hostage in Russia (A/N: it is Russia right?) until the powerful mutant had agreed to join his 'crusade'. The deal was that as soon as Collosus had been recruited and was on his way to the United States, that his family would be released. Of course, odds were that Magneto had killed the family soon after that. All of Collosus' letters came back marked 'Return to Sender'.
Sabertooth was here for revenge. He had some type of grudge against Wolverine, and all he cared about was getting the chance to thrash him every now and then. All of the carnage and mayhem that Magneto ordered him to do on the side was just icing on the cake; a side business that Sabertooth enjoyed way too much. Remy suppressed a shudder at the thought of all the innocent lives the feral mutant had destroyed. When the Cajun had taken his seat at the rectangular shaped table, Magneto entered. His gaze traveled around the room, watching his motley crew of underlings. Finally his stare settled on Remy. "Gambit, I want your report," He spoke in his gruff voice. Removing a folder from one of the many pockets in his trench coat Remy threw it on the table. Magneto picked up the folder and leisurely flipped through it. After a few minutes of intense silence he spoke. "Do you have anything to go along with these medical files Gambit?" Remy leaned back in his chair and propped his feet up on the table. "There are blood samples from de brat and de femme in the freezer." Magneto nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Good job. I want you four to return to your quarters. Stay out of trouble. You will return to me in two days." Magneto waved his Acolytes out the door and went to retrieve the blood samples from the freezer. He disappeared through the lab doors. Not to be seen for forty-eight hours.
Two days later.............
The Acolytes were once again assembled in the control room. They waited patiently for Magneto to emerge out of the lab. Finally, after a half hour of waiting the doors opened. Magneto looked horrible; like he hadn't slept the whole time he had been working in the lab. Yet, he had a triumphant glint in his eyes. Taking his seat at the head of the table Magneto placed a steel box in front of him. His eyes journeyed around the table and finally settled on Remy. Leaning forward Magneto released the catch on the box and raised the lid. Inside were at least a dozen vials of a pale blue liquid. "This," He finally spoke gesturing to the vials. "Is a special solution I made years ago. It can be combined with the DNA of a mutant and then ingested by another. The taker then becomes immune to the DNA donors powers." Magneto paused in his explanation, and allowed the information to sink in. Remy's gaze never broke connection with Magneto's. He just sat there listening to the older mutant describe what sounded like a wonder drug. Gambit's heart began to pound as he thought of the possibilities such a drug could be put to. It was Magneto who finally tore his eyes away from Remy's. "However," He continued speaking. "It has never been successfully tested." The four mutants began to fidget in their seats. Why was Magneto telling them about this drug if it was bogus? Clearing his throat the Master of Magnetism once again began to speak. "I am confident though, that it will be effective against the mutant known as Rogue. From her medical files I have learned that her absorbing powers are linked to her DNA and to the DNA of those she touches. I need one of you to test it for me. If it is successful then I can administer the serum to the rest of you. Gambit are you up for this little experiment?" Trying to not seem as eager as he felt, Remy sat up in his chair and stroked his chin in concentration. "Qui," he finally spoke. "I'll do it."
Here it is!! I'll start on the next chapter right away, I was a lil slow this weekend cause I went to see the Pirates of the CAribben!! It is a fantastic movie and I urge everyone to see it at least 2 times (Review Review Review please, if you would like to see something happen send me your reviews and I'll see if I can work it in1!
