Hi again! Hey guess what I was watching Chicago the movie with Spanish subtitles (I have no idea why!) and the word 'brain' was translated into 'cerebro'! How cool! I actually learned something! I feel special ^_^

By the way, its very hectic trying to write chappies for four stories at the same time, so I'm gonna put Blender and Tv on hold for a bit (and yes Rogue77 Animal Crackers chapter 2 will be up there eventually, but I'm sorry coz I haven't started it yet!).

I'm happy because November is getting closer . . . November brings my birthday party! I share it with one of my best friends, its fancy dress with a movie theme! Roll on! Woooooooo! (I'm going as Liz Hurley in Austin Powers! Lol)

Chapter 7 - Remy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

"Looks like you need Remy's help after all, non?" said a voice from behind the gate. Everyone's head turned and stared into the shadows.

"Remy?" Pietro repeated with a Malfoy-ish expression, "What kind of a name is that?"

"Speak for yourself, yo." Todd mumbled. Luckily for him, Pietro didn't hear this; or if he did, he ignored it.

"Like, who's Remy?" Kitty asked, confused.

A figure emerged, dressed in a trench coat, and fiddling with a pack of cards. (AN You guys will have to forgive me; I haven't seen any XME episodes past the 1st series so I'm describing Remy like he is in the original series) He took his sunglasses off, and revealed red-on-black eyes, instead of the normal green/brown/blue-on-white eyes. Kitty made eye contact with him for a few seconds, and instantly her heart fluttered in her chest, then melted away. He was sooo handsome! Those eyes . . . Kurt looked at Kitty and frowned at the dreamy expression on her face.

"Dis is Remy!" said the figure, gesturing at himself.

Kitty giggled and blushed, but the rest of the crowd just stood around unimpressed, frowns on their faces.

"And you will help us - how?" Scott asked in a disbelieving tone. They all smirked and waited for Remy's explanation.

"Remy happens t' know where li'l Roguey happens t' be," Remy answered back, wearing an annoyingly smug expression. "An' Monsieur Logan." (Yet another AN I don't do French either so don't sue me if it all goes terribly wrong! o_O)

There was instant uproar at this comment. Jean had to use her telekinetic power to stop Kurt from attacking Remy right there and then. Black clouds swirled over their heads as even the usually calm Storm lost it for minute. Thunder clapped and the ground started shaking slightly as Lance forgot to stay calm also. Kitty forgot about what just happened before and was immediately angry.

'What did I like see in him anyway?" Kitty thought to herself, and shook her head to get rid of the feeling.

However no one managed to stop Pietro, so he zoomed straight into Remy, knocking him over. Everyone was silent at this point, abandoning the threats they were about to throw at Remy as they watched him fall to the ground. The weather cleared and the ground stopped shaking. Remy got up quickly, an angry frown on his face. Pietro stood a few metres away, ready to run again, but was distracted as Remy emptied a card packet into his empty hand, and stood facing the mixed BoM and X-men.

"Remy does not know why y' chose t' attack him. Remy only bin here 5 minutes!" He panted, still winded from Pietro's launch. He shook his head slightly, as if to steady himself, then said, "All Remy was tryin' t' do was t' help y' find your team mates, but if y' don' wan' Remy's help, fine." The cards in his hand glowed bright red, and he continued, "Remy is goin' now, but don' blame him when y' never see Roguey or Logan, or th' light of day again." The other mutants remained silent, confused at his ending sentence and curious of the red cards he was clutching.

Remy started to walk off slowly. The others stood watching him, unsure of what should come next. Then, without warning, Remy spun around and threw well-aimed cards, at least 10, at the unsuspecting mutants. They landed on the ground next to their feet, then exploded. The victims were thrown back, several unconscious. Kurt, however, managed to teleport out of the way before he got hit, and Pietro ran away from the cards. They spotted Remy walking away from the mansion, and ran/teleported to 'meet' him.

Remy was walking back to his home with the Acolytes. He was feeling angry with the X-men and BoM for attacking him, when all he was trying to do was rescue two important members of the X-men team. On the other hand, he was feeling rather triumphant. He, Remy LeBeau, thief from New Orleans, had managed to either knock out or injure two mutant teams single handedly! But a third emotion weighed down on him too - guilt. Guilt for attacking the only people whom could help Rogue, the only people who could rescue that gothic southerner from grief beyond grief, pain beyond pain - her new found family gone forever. Remy couldn't just let them do that to her. He didn't know why he cared, he couldn't explain it - he just, well, did. But Remy didn't get much further with his thoughts, as two teenagers, one blue and fuzzy, and the other, silver-haired and arrogant looking, appeared directly in his path, stopping him walking any further.

"I believe you have something to tell us." Pietro stated.

"Erm - " began Remy but Kurt interrupted.

"Come on, Remy, don't be shy!"

"Remy is not shy," Remy glared at Kurt, "And you all made it clear dat Remy's help is not needed over dere." He gestured to the mansion behind him. "Good day." He made to walk away, but Pietro moved in his way again. "Oui?" Remy asked.

"Remy LeBeau, I don't know what you're playing at, but when I tell my father - "

"Remy wouldn't do dat if I were you," Remy jumped in, and continued casually, "As your father is de one who has Rogue an' Logan." "What?!/Vhat?!" said Pietro and Kurt in unison.

"I tink you'd better come back to de mansion." Kurt added hastily.

*

"Ok, so, maybe if Ah yell loud for Tabby tah come in ahnd somehow get her to absorb me, the psyches in mah head might go weird ahnd Ah'd get more powers, ahnd then Ah'd break yah collar ahnd yah'd get meh down ahnd we'd be free!" Rogue finished her little speech.

"Sorry Stripes, but it ain't never gonna work." Logan replied sullenly.

They sighed. They had discussed lots they could do, (or rather one came up with mad ideas and the other dissed it) but none of them would ever work. They'd just about given up hope when a voice whispered in Rogue's ear,

"Hello, petite!"

Rogue screamed, jumping at the voice so near her. Logan roared loudly at the sudden noise, and glared up in their direction. Remy was hanging upside down on a roof beam net to Rogue's, grinning. "Nice helmet."

Rogue's face flushed a slight pink colour, then turned into a scowl, and she yelled at Remy, "What thah HELL do yah think yah're doin?"

Remy looked around anxiously, then whispered, "Quiet, chere! Remy b' th' ticket t' get you outta here!"

Rogue looked at him with a look that would melt Bobby (AN lol soz I just had to put that!) and replied sarcastically, "Oh, sure, let's trust thah stinky Cajun, after all he does work for the bad guy!" Logan smirked. Remy put on a hurt face.

"Come on mes ami! You can trust Remy!" Rogue rolled her eyes. "And Remy doesn't stink." He added.

"Whadda you mean ticket outta here?" Logan growled at Remy.

"Remy has just been down at th' Institute, where de X-men an' de Brotherhood were gettin' huffy bout de little chere here." Remy answered, nodding at Rogue.

"Thah X-men? AHND Brotherhood? Huffy bout meh?! This can't be rahght, yah're lahyin Remy."

"Non, he is not, petite."

"*Grrrr* Then prove it."

"By doin what, Monsiuer Logan?"

Rogue thought, then said, "Get this stupid helmet off meh, ahnd we'll know yah're tellin thah truth."

"But chere, won't de boss know dat someone was in here?"

"Thahts a chance Ah'm willin to take."

So, Remy removed Magneto's helmet and smiled at Rogue. "There you are chere, your head is free."

"Thankyah Cajun."

Remy jumped down off the beam with catlike agility. "Anyting else, chere?" He grinned.

"Now thaht yah mention it . . . ok, first answer meh this: How did yah know we were here?"

Remy stretched his arms, and said, "Remy knew that was comin'. Well, dis mornin, Remy was bored, so he followed de boss to work. Mags led Remy to here, where Remy spotted Roguey an' Logan all tied up. So, Remy went to de X-men house, where a war was takin' place. Remy told dem where you were, an dey be comin' for you tomorrow mornin'."

"But - but - thaht doesn't work!" Rogue protested, "Tahmorrow is Wednesday! Ahnd - "

"Relax, chere. De blue elf an' Weather witch are bringin' de fake money to de kid playground, while de rest rescue you two." Remy finished.

"OK, Remy, heres one more thing:" Rogue paused, then resumed speaking, "Go to thah mansion before they go ahnd make sure everyone is outta bed ahnd well away from the place. Thaht's important. Yah got that?"

"Remy has, mes ami. De chere's a bossy one, non?" Remy said cheekily, winking at Logan, who just snarled. "That it, chere?"

"Yeh."

"Ok, now Remy has a favour to ask. Can Remy borrow your rollerblade? He needs a ride home!"

Rogue laughed, and said, "Whatevah Cajun! Go ahead!"

"Thankyou chere!" He saluted and grabbed the boot. He tried it on. His large foot was nowhere near the size of the small shoe. He put his hand in instead. "Looks like Remy'll have tah go home like dis, non?" And with that, he ran out of the gymnasium.

"Are you sure about this Charles?" Storm questioned the old bald dude.

"Ja, it seems too . . . simple. They vouldn't give Rogue und Logan up just like zat." Kurt agreed.

"That would seem correct. But we'll never know." The Professor replied, not really answering their statements one bit. "Now, you need sleep, as you will be getting up very early in the morning."

No one had the energy to argue, as they had all trained so hard since Remy's arrival. They split up as they went into their separate rooms for the night. But in one room, a conversation was taking place.

"We'll finally show Mystique what we're made of, yo!"

"Hmm, somethingtellsmeMystiquewon'tbetoohappyifyou'redemonstratingonher!"

"Chill, Pietro, we don't have to kill her, just shake her up a lot."

"DOOMED! They'll all be doomed after I see to them!"

The Brotherhood boys had been offered a place to stay in the mansion, as they were set on helping Rogue. This way, they would go with the X-men and actually work together to make a stronger team.

"Come on, fellas, get back to your own rooms, the Toad is getting sleepy, yo!"

And so they also split, and waited for the morning to roll on and see what fate would bring.

Meanwhile, in the gymnasium, the Masterminds were doing the same.
