Chapter 12 : So Far Away
Date: July 28, 2003
A/N: I scanned those drawings. And OH MY GOSH! Prettiness! I'm not sure how this chapter'll go. I hope I can get some good scenes goin'. This chapter was (sorta) inspired by the Staind song "So Far Away". Good song. Download it. NOW! ^_^
DISCLAIMER: I wanna marry Remy. But, what about all the hopeless girlies who want him also? *thinks* HAHAHAH!! Suckers! Well, except for you, RogueVampyr. WE CAN SHARE HIM! I can have him for the first month, then you have him the second month. Then we can switch-out every other month. Sound fair? We can make it work! HAHA! ^_^ But, in all seriousness, all X-Men characters, except Avari, Kalli, Hanna, and Idget, belong to Marvel... V_V

They pulled apart, and looked into each other's eyes. Kalli licked her lips and smiled up at Remy. Then a frown started to settle upon her face. Remy looked at her worriedly. "What's wrong, chere?"
Kalli sighed sadly. "I think I want to go back to the Institute," Remy nodded understandingly.
"About 'dat.." he trailed off. Then said, "Ah will go with vous. Ah cannot stand it here anymore, chere. I fear that my trust doesn't lie with Magneeto anymore. Not with his plan for vous.."
Kalli stared at him in disbelief. "Wait! What IS he planning to do with me?" Remy just realized that he hadn't told her. He hadn't planned on it, either. Sure, he played dumb when Hanna asked about it, 'cause he knew she would tell Kalli. Remy planned on keeping it to himself, planned on protecting Kalli. He loved her, and would do anything to keep her safe. He didn't like keeping secrets from Kalli, but all secrets come out sooner or later. And whichever part that came first, Remy knew, is always Hell. Because in the end, all the shit will hit the fan.
Remy sighed. "Magneeto planned on using vous as a lab rat, like vous mother. He has improved his potions an' other power-enhancing experiments, since vous mother's disappearance, an' needs somebody to test it out on. So, he knew vous inheritanted the X-gene from vous mother, an' kidnapped vous,"
Kalli scowled up at him. Remy swallowed hard. He knew he was in for it. "Why the hell didn't you tell me?"
Remy thought hard before he answered. He didn't want to sound like a smart ass by saying 'You didn't ask me.' His eyes drifted. "Ah wanted to protect vous, chere." He dared a glance up at her. She was getting furious with him.
"Protect me from, what exactly?"
Remy sighed impatiently. "Well, damn, Kalli. Ah din't want to tell vous 'cause Ah thought vous might leave," Kalli sat up and rubbed her temple with her fingers.
"And why would I leave? I wouldn't have if you would've told me. 'Cause, in case you couldn't tell, I like you. I feel the same thing for you. I never met anybody quite like you. You're not like all the other guys I've been with. I don't want to risk losing you," Kalli's anger was fading slowly. She dropped her gaze, and clutched the locket around her neck.
Remy put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Ah'm sorry, chere,"
"Don't be." She paused. "I want to see my mother."
Avari paced the garage. It was nearly 6 o-clock. She was anxious to see her daughter. Her pacing annoyed Logan while he worked on his motorcycle. "Dammit, woman. Sit down or leave,"
Avari glowered at him. "What the hell? Aren't you worried at all about Kalli?" Logan straightened up and stared at her.
"If I know that girl, from the couple days I have known her, she'll be alright."
"Really? What is she like now?"
A ghost of a smile appeared on Logan's face. "You'll have to wait and see,"
"Oh my God, Remy!!" Kalli stared wide-eyed. "I can't believe you've got a BIKE!" She gaped at the beauty of Remy's motorcycle.
"A black Night Train, Softail family made by the best company: Harley-Davidson," Remy remarked. He stood back, admiring his 'baby', and was quite pleased with himself with the attention it was getting. Remy smiled, convinced that bikes are really a 'chick magnet'.
"How'd you manage to snag something like this?"
Remy shrugged. "Magneto hooked meh up. He's convinced 'dat if someone from 'de Brotherhood needs to go out, 'dey must go out in style,"
"Very stylish," Kalli nodded. "Well, I imagine it wasn't meant just to sit in this garage. This baby needs to go out and ride free,"
Remy grabbed the two helmets that were on the rack and handed the purple bicycle-looking one to Kalli. "Vous get to wear 'de goofy lookin' one,"
"Do ya think it'll look goofy on me?" Kalli asked, casting a flirty look. She put the helmet on.
"It looks goofy on just about anyone who wears it," Remy put his on and looked over at her. He chuckled, his voice muffled slightly. "Ah, vous look very lovely, bebe," He climbed onto his bike, Kalli following suit and wrapped her arms around his waist. Remy tilted the bike in an upright position and booted the kickstand back. With the bike being steadied by his feet, he pressed a button and started the engine right up. Kalli grip around his waist tightened slightly as he revved the engine and they took off out of the garage.
