About a week later, Remy rode up to the school, still unsure about what he was doing.
{What're you t'inkin Remy??} He questioned himself angrily, not knowing whether or not he should just walk up to the door. He thought quickly about going through the back way, but then again, he didn't know the security a place like this had. He decided it was best just to walk in and ask to see the professor. He heard the muffled words that were directed towards him.
"He's kinda cute!" said one Asian girl, who was with her friends. He just kept on walking, he didn't want to make any attachments, because he had convinced himself that this Professor Xavier was going to turn him away.
He readjusted his sunglasses and looked around quickly for Logan. {Mebbe he'd back me up} Remy thought quickly. Before he knew it, he was in front of a door that said "Professor Charles Xavier" in gold letters on the door. He hesitated in raising his hand to knock, but before he could, the door opened and he was greeted by the faces of about 10 people, his age. Obviously it was the middle of a class.
"Uh, I'll just come back later, homme." He muttered to the elder man in a Wheelchair.
"Nonsense." the Professor said with a small smile. "The class has just ended, you can come in, I have at least a half hour before my next one starts."
Remy stepped to the side and let the other children out. The same Asian girl from before stopped to smile at him before running to catch up with his friends. He just stared after the small group, suddenly realizing he wanted friends like that, a group of people he could trust. He didn't even hear the Professor tell him to come in.
"Hello?" The Professor tried to say, before asking him again to take a seat. He watched the young man shake a thought out of his mind, one that he couldn't catch for some reason. He had strong shields for someone so young. When he finally had the young man's attention, he pulled out a new file and motioned for him to sit down. "What is your name young man?" he tried again.
Remy thought about lying for a minute, but then he thought that lying wasn't an option if he was hoping of staying here. He hesitated, but then looked up to meet the old man's gaze. "Je suis Remy LeBeau." he answered, hoping this was someone to trust.
Xavier studied him for a moment, and then began writing. He could tell this man had strong powers, very few people could resist Xavier's telepathic abilities, mutant or otherwise. "What are your gifts Remy?" He asked, hoping Remy would trust him enough to tell him more.
Remy looked at the Professor, then removed his sunglasses, making his eyes visible. The Professor just looked for a second and then began writing. "Do they affect your sight?" the Professor asked quietly.
Remy pondered the question for a second, and then replied with a simple "Non." Then he knew what was coming next.
"Anything else?" Xavier asked him again. Remy thought for a second, but before he could answer, Xavier spoke up again. "Ororo, Logan, please come in, don't bother knocking." Then two adults walked in. "Remy this is Logan, also known as Wolverine."
"Je sais. He's de one who told me 'bout dis place." Remy replied, trying not to look to happy to see a familiar face.
"Ah, I see." Xavier said. "And this is Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm."
Remy nodded and took her hand and kissed it lightly on it's back. Ororo couldn't help the fit of giggles that took over her, and Logan just sighed an ruffled the kid's hair. He was a bit more comfortable now.
When Xavier asked about any more powers, Remy didn't know exactly how to phrase it and looked to Logan for help. He knew about his Charm ability, and maybe he could explain it better.
"Uh, he was tellin' lies to my face, and it hadn't a been fer my senses, I would've believed him. They just sounded so real, like he had the ability to make me believe whatever came out o' his mouth." Logan fumbled, but Remy smiled at him and mouthed a quick "Merci" before turning back to Xavier. Remy was relieved to see that it satisfied him.
"Well, sounds like an interesting gift." Xavier said when he finished writing. Remy was relieved he hadn't asked for anything else, becuase he was sure he would have turned him away if he knew about his explosive other ability. "Ms. Munroe will take you on a tour of the school and show you your room. Where are the rest of your things?"
Remy pointed to the near empty duffel bag before opening it up and giving Xavier the eight hundred he had left on him. "'Dat's it. M'sorry dat's all de money I have, but I will pay a full tuition b'fore de end o' de month."
Xavier just looked at the money on his desk and pushed it back towards Remy with a weak smile. "I don't need any tuition. Keep your money, and maybe some of your classmates will take you to the mall nearby and you can pick up some more possessions." he replied. He was half amused, half shocked at Remy's astonished look. What had made him think he needed to pay to stay here? He shot a look at Logan, who immediately shook his head to indicate it wasn't him.
Just then, A tall man with Red Glasses walked in and handed Remy the Bo- staff he had left in the bike's bag. Remy was infuriated. How could he be so stupid to let anyone find his bike?!?!
"Give dat to me!" Remy growled as he ran swiftly to the man and took back the last gift his father gave him. He saw the surprised look and then a muffled chuckle from behind his back. He turned around to see Logan trying not to burst into laughter. "What's so funny, mon ami?"
This time, The man intervened. "I'm Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops. The leader of the X-Men." Remy turned just after he saw Logan roll his eyes. He took the outstretched hand and shook it, unaware if he should trust Scott or not.
{Thank Dieu dat he came in, and dat Professeur didn' have a chance t'ask me anymore 'bout my 'bilities} Remy thought to himself. The Professor caught the tail end of the thought, and decided to let it slip for now.
"Ororo, could you please escort Remy to the Boys' dormitories?" Remy instinctivly flashed a smile at her and began to walk over to her before... BAMF! The smell of Sulphur and Brimstone was lingering in the air.
"Hallo!" Said a distinctly German accent. Remy turned around from Storm to see a blue skinned mutant with yellow eyes. He had just teleported in, and it was him that had created the lingering smell. "I'm Kurt Vagner, but most call me Nightcrawler here."
"Well, now you have met most of the teachers here, with the exception of Henry McCoy, called Hank or Beast, and Warren Worthington, also called Angel. They aren't exactly teachers, but help out when needed and have become full fledged members of the X-men." Professor Xavier said. "Tonight you will be placed, I'm sure the other students would like to meet their future friend and classmate. Tomorrow you will be taking your placement tests, and then later that day you will be placed with your Grade level."
"Come with me Remy." Ororo said quietly. Logan grumbled something around "I'm comin' with ya." before getting up and taking Remy's duffel bag and walking out the door.
