We Gotta Get Out of This Place

Three days passed since the riot downtown. Although there were no more crowds outside the gates of the Institute the students still didn't feel safe enough to leave. "This place is getting on Remy's nerves," Remy grumbled as he went to the room he shared with Peter. "Everybody cooped up in here. Making us all jumpy."

Then his cell phone rang. "'Ello?" He asked.

"Remy…" A familiar voice he thought he'd never hear again spoke. "Don't hang up!"

"How did you get this number?" Remy hissed. He looked around and saw no one was in his room. He locked the door behind him.

"Let's just say I know someone who knows someone who knows someone," The voice said. "Please listen to me! We're desperate!"

"All right Henri," Remy frowned. "It must be for you to call me."

"They got him Remy. He's a prisoner and there's nothing we can do about it!"

"Who?" Remy asked although he was afraid he knew what the answer was.

"Jean Luc, the Rivers got him."

At that sentence Remy's heart grew cold. "Why should I care? Besides why can't you do anything about it?"

"You know they keep moving their stronghold," Henri said. "Besides they're allied with the Assassins now! You know about the treaty! Even if we did know where they were none of us could openly attack them!"

"But someone who left the family can," Remy frowned.

"I know you hate him Remy but he's still your father!"

"My adopted father! All right! Even that jerk doesn't deserve what the Assassins would do to him. I'll take care of it." He clicked off the phone. He went downstairs. He saw Rogue and Kurt in the kitchen.

"You pushed Mystique off a cliff Rogue I think that pretty much says enough," Kurt said before he teleported out.

Rogue sat there with a dejected look on his face. Then she saw Remy. "What do you want Swamp Rat?"

"It's way too tense around here. Cherie, how would you like to take a little trip down south?" Remy grinned.
