"Remy...When I found out what you had done..." She fell silent, looking away
and shaking her head. "No, that's stupid..." he muttered. Looking at Remy,
tears coursing down his cheeks, she narrowed her eyes and shook her head a
bit.
"Remy, if it had been me to betray the X-men..."
"I didn't." Remy snapped, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
"Remy, when I first joined, they didn't trust me because I used to be with Mystique and her Brotherhood, not even Kurt at first. But I was able to gain their trust after a while, and I never betrayed that trust.
"Remy, you weren't trusted when you first joined either and you know that. Ororo had to vouch for you before you were allowed to join because you were a thief. Helping Sinister organize the Marauders, the people who murdered the Morlocks, you can't expect us to trust you again so easily."
Remy snorted, wiping his eyes a bit.
"But they can certainly trust you, after leaving me to die like that." He muttered.
"Maybe it's because you're not dead." Rogue said, starting to get angry. "Most of the Morlocks are dead because of you."
"I didn't know what they were for!" Remy screamed, getting up so violently, that the chair he was sitting in fell over with a crash. "All Sinister said was to gather up some mutants who wanted to work for him! I didn't know what they were for, and I didn't ask what they were for! Why can't any of you understand that?"
"Does that make you any less guilty, Remy?" Rogue asked, getting up. "Does that absolve you of giving Sinister the people he needed to slaughter the Morlocks? Do you think that when people said they were just following Hitler's orders, that that made them less guilty of murder?"
"Are you comparing me to Nazis?" Remy demanded.
"If the shoe fits..." Rogue didn't even see Remy move until his hand struck her across the face, making her look at him in surprise.
"Have you heard nothing that I've said!?" Remy demanded, his voice rising more and more. "Did what I told you go in one ear and out the other? Or are you just an idiot?" Shaking his head he turned around and headed for the door.
"I don't even know why I bothered talking to you. Kurt was wrong, this relationship can't be saved by talking about my feelings about Antarctica!" With that, he left the room.
As Remy walked up the stairs to get his things, Jean passed him and he snarled angrily as he felt a familiar sensation in his head.
"If you must know, I'm leaving this place you stupid bitch!" he shouted down at her, startling her. "So stop trying to get into my mind secretly! You suck at it!" ***
Back in Kurt's room, Rogue was still standing where she was, looking at the open door. As tears started to well up, she started to leave the room, ignoring Hank as he tried to find out what had happened.
Very slowly, ever so slowly, a tear fell from the corner of Kurt's eye.
"Remy, if it had been me to betray the X-men..."
"I didn't." Remy snapped, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
