Midnight Selene: I'm not sure how many more chapters there are going to be, but there is definitely going to be a sequel, "A stranger in my Room", it was originally going to be, "Unresolved Distances" but I think the new title suits the story much better... thanks for tuning in...

Chapter 5: Attraction
JEAN
Between the few moments I had between Scott and Storm leaving and preparing myself to assist them, the professor and I had a chance to watch the tape, and in awe we continued to. Rogue didn't seem like the type of girl that would steal, even if it meant putting aside her "gift", it just seemed like, it wasn't her...
I was with the professor when the anticipated the entrance of Magneto, with Rogue, and the brotherhood, arrived, Mystique wasn't there but I knew she wasn't that far off either. If it hadn't been for my telekinetic powers I wouldn't have known that the professor was overpowering our god given free will, it seemed so effortless for him. But pain grazed across his face when Magneto almost shot one of the officers, he looked at me already knowing, yet asking, if I would be able to block all those others that might threaten the lives of these men. He let go of Magneto's throat and let him get away leaving the guns lying on the floor, somehow becoming a dangerous traitor to the officers. Our car left to head for the mansion once again, we only had a few minutes before the unknown happened.
At the mansion
I treated our new arrival when it came, or should I say he, unfortunately Senator Kelly didn't get the same gentle touch I had offered to so many others before, he was someone I would rather not help, but then again, he was like any other ignorant human that threatened the lives of so many young, old, and weak.
When I found the professor, I could barely hear him, hear him as in his brain waves, the power source for most of us telekinetic. Before long Scott and Orora were already with me taking him into the medical ward, we were in a disarray of panic and fear, with our leader, fallen...
SCOTT
Finding out that the trust that we held with the safe housing of the device had disintegrated in a matter of seconds was one thing, it could be fixed, especially with our leader and mentor, the professor. In him I could give all my problems to, even if I wanted to hold onto them from everyone else he always found it among the mist of my many masks, one of which was my power.
But I couldn't sit around and sulk as my family and team fell against Magneto's plan. No, the professor taught us better than that. Yet when I ordered the team and Logan to get suited up for the mission, questions flooded my mind, making me wonder if I was doing the right thing.
REMY
The whole household was in disarray, although it might seem normal to the naked eye, my powers felt it all. There was a surge of uncertain emotions running through the house, I think it was coming from that red haired femme, the one with the telepathic powers. And I, among it all, felt safe but incredibly guilty, feeling these people stumble again and again, inquiring their deepest powers to see if they could do what seemed like the impossible... save Rogue.
Then again, I guess I was feeling the same thing, lost and afraid. I felt myself losing my rhythm, my touch when I realized I had thought meticulously on a plan to save her, replaying all the events in my head, fearing for the worst every time, that I would bring my sorry ass to save the life of another.
It was about 9 o' clock when I heard the sound of the jet in the background, something I could've anticipated, but my mind was too much of a fucking mess to figure anything out at this point. I watched it leave and decided to head outside to meet Louis, we had once again, against my will decided to meet.
"What do ya want now, Louis?"
A dark, lanky figure came into the light, a cigar placidly placed in his hand.
"Ah want the device Remy, whether you're goin' ta take good care of it or not."
"You know my answer to that, loud and clear, as if you were there when I made it, right here." I pointed to my head, knowing he was watching my every move at the mansion with the cameras that I had set up.
"Well brotha, I guess that this will be the second time that you have abandoned your family and Jean- Luc, be prepared that Sinister will not be happy when he hears this."
"I know the consequences homme, all you have to do is let me go, and you face yours."
"I planned on leaving, without da device, but remember dat all you risk to save now, will come back and bite ya in the ass later."
Before I could respond he had left, leaving me with the device, a plan to save Rogue, and sweaty hands embracing cards in my pockets.
ROGUE
"Are ya goin to kill me?"
I wanted to know, I was glad to know, even if the answer meant the second end to the life that I had just put together. That son of a bitch's explanation meant nothing to me, I didn't want to hear how I was going to die for something Ah didn't even believe in...it was hopeless. But I still felt safer with the calm speaking man with an evil plot, to save the world of mutants, rather than the rash savage, better known as Sabertooth, but he left nonetheless. I heard commotion nearby, I hoped it was the X- Men, the saviors and my heroes that would once again take me out of harms way, this time I wanted this more than anything, even just as much as I wanted ma powers to disappear.
WOLVERINE
I was stuck, with my own indestructible weapons pitted against me, literally against my chest. And there wasn't another choice, it was there plain and simple, my life or hers.. I had to choose.
REMY
Getting to Liberty Islands was harder then I thought it would be. All the ferries there were canceled because of the UN Summit, so I had to compromise and charm my way through security. I thank god for women, if it weren't for them I wouldn't have gotten into half the places I swooned my way into. With PDD in my hand, I felt a surge of worry that it might not work. I hoped again and again that the X-Men had saved her already, that that crazed Magneto hadn't already transferred his powers to Rogue, after the revolutions of the rings began the only thing that would stop her most efficiently would be the device. I didn't want to have to go there.
Unfortunately my wishes were lacking the truth of reality, I heard a scream from the torch and had no doubt that it was chere. Then there was this wave of light from the machine, I though I could still save her with the device and the help of the X-Men, but my hope slowly dwindled down as I saw Logan almost falling off the statue.
JEAN
"Scott open your eyes when I tell you to."
"NO I can't."
"Scott trust me."
I know he saw me through his eyes, crimson red through and through, and he might've have panicked for a while but I knew he put more trust into me then most of the people he met in his life.
Wolverine cut us loose and we directed our attention to the matter at hand, as we saw the rings pass by we tried our best to keep our heads.
Wolverine volunteered to go up there and cut the rings, although we all knew what Magneto could do, then again we had the most chance of saving her with Logan then the rest of us, so we executed out plan.
I didn't know that my power could go that far, my mind was rushing through my other thoughts and discarding them as I tried to stable Wolverine on top of the rings. Then the least expected person just paraded inside, Remy. I was glad that I had already stabilized Logan otherwise I would've flung him right off into the Hudson Harbor, in surprise.
I tried to read his mind but it was blocked, and firmly at that, he seemed more powerful than his appearance would allow to show.
REMY
Racing up the many steps was no big deal, watching chere in pain, was another story. I was sort of distracted on figuring out how to save Rogue and manage to horribly cripple Magneto at the same time when Orora brought me back to reality.
"Remy, what are you doing here?"
"O me, well long story cut short, the device was really stolen by Mystique, here use it to save Rogue."
"But how did--" I shut the leader of the pack up, "Long story cut short, I was one step ahead of you, but you have to trust me on this, after all we do have to save the beautiful femme."
The split seconds of silence were broken by a suggestion as the light enveloped us all, "I have a shot, I'm going to take it."
The red haired femme's face was at worry but I began to feel a deep trust omitting any unnecessary doubt. He got the target head on, even if that was something that none of us were expecting that was the target he was aiming for.
I realized the device was of no importance as Rogue's body just hung from the handles. PDD was in the no use category if chere wasn't alive to use it. It was depressing to find myself useless. Her hands were almost ripped away from them, the attraction had made her body like glue against the steel.
I saw Logan try and do what he was trying to do before, it was the only hope now, I thought chere was going to running away from my slick comments anytime soon, but she just didn't seem to wake up... Damn it chere.
I saw veins surfaced and chere almost die of shock as she realized what she was uncontrollably doing. She pushed him away and grabbed her head in pain as she got the full impact of what she was doing. Jean made sure that I didn't come short as I pushed my self with my Bo staff to where Rogue was, the others took the long way up.
'Chere?" I held her tight in my arms as she cried into my chest. I wanted to shield her from everything, something that I would soon realize was just the opposite that she wanted me to do.
"Remy I don't want to be here right now, the only thing I do is hurt." It was barely a whisper as she silently whimpered trying to stop the tears, now turning to face Logan. The rest of the team rushed in as we saw them aid Logan back to the jet.
ROGUE
Remy took me back to the jet and we were strapped in as we took off in a rough stumble. Jean asked me many times if I was all right and every time the only thing that I could offer back to her was a nod. I felt she knew what I was really thinking in my head when she told me that Logan was going to be all right. But when I took a look at myself, I realized it wouldn't take a telephatic to see that I was more worried about Logan then anything that I was going through.
At the mansion, Jean told me to just get some rest for the night and try to get my head straight, but easier said then done. I had trouble sleeping all night, the only thing I could do was stare at the dark ceiling as I tried to sleep.
REMY
After they took care of Logan and hopefully Marie, they decided to look into me and why I had the device. It seemed as if the professor recovered just as the whole 'incident' ended.
"Mr. Lebeau, I understand that you have possession of the device, and the X-Men and I are a bit baffled why you have it, perhaps you might be able to clear the unknown events to us?"
"Nice to see you up and about, professor. Oh me, Remy be fine, glad you asked."
"I'm sorry Mr. Lebeau but I really don't think this is the time for pleasantries."
I took a sigh, and thought over what might happen if I revealed what I had done, and the only thing that I realized that I was sure of was that I would only be able to stay if I told the truth. After all I did come back with the PDD in the best interest of Rogue.
"Mr. Lebeau anytime soon..."
"Umm, I guess that Remy can start from the beginning, you see.."
