Chapter four
"Hello chere been a long time non?"
"Yes it has, how have you been?"
Gambit pulled a cigarette from the pocket of his coat and lit it taking a long draw on it before answering.
"Could have been better, how about you Stormy, Still playing at heroes?"
"It is not a game Remy I am still with the x-men if that's what you mean. but nothing has changed you still may not call me by that ridiculous name." Storm fought the grin threatening to play on her lips but lost the fight as Remy began laughing himself reminding her of those carefree nights in the company of this charming thief.
"Ha ha ha, I missed you girl we had some good times didn' we?"
"Yes and I'd love to catch up but I'm afraid I'm here on business."
"And what business might dat be petite?" Storm opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Warren.
"How about the business of you robbing me and destroying half my office, thief!"
"Maybe you got me mistaken for someone else eh homme?" Gambit didn't expect anyone to believe he hadn't done anything in fact he didn't want them to, he had just been presented with a solution to his problem.
"Oh come on bub we already know it was you, give us back the stuff you stole or we'll take it outta yer hide."
"Enough Logan there is no need for threats let's just resolve this quietly." Cyclops had noticed the stares they were getting from the people in the bar and suddenly realised that they weren't the most inconspicuous group with his visor, Warren's leather coat with a rather large hump in the back Storm's white hair, Gambits sunglasses indoors and now Wolverines outburst that had brought them even more unwanted attention.
"Perhaps we should take this discussion elsewhere."
Gambit was feeling a little uneasy in the alley he was confident in his own abilities
And still trusted Storm wouldn't try to hurt him but he didn't know the others and the short one he now knew as Logan had an obvious attitude problem he masterfully hid his concern behind a devil may care smile and his casual stance.
"So are you going to give us the data you stole and tell us why Remy? Weapons information isn't your usual kind of target."
"Anything for you chere." Gambit replied pulling a disc from a hidden pocket in his coat sleeve.
"Is this the only copy?" Warren snatched it from his hand as he asked.
"Non, but I aint got de other."
"Then where the hell is it?"
"On it's way to wherever evil mutants plot their evil schemes mos' likely"
"Remy what do you mean who has it?"
"Sorry stormy but Magneto has it"
"MAGNETO you're working with magneto?" "Non I just did this job for him didn' know what he wanted with the data till after."
"And what does he want with my personal files, what could there possibly be on this disc that a guy like Magneto could use?"
"I t'ought you'd have figured dat out by now."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Wait what the hell is that?" Wolverine had cocked his head up listening to the Sky.
"What?" Scott asked while the others were trying in vain to hear what ever Wolverine was.
"I hear something, sounds almost like a plane but it's headed this way. Wait there's three of em there almost here."
"What are?" Scott got his answer when three large metal robot's came out of the sky and landed in the street. The x-men Archangel and Gambit ran from the alley to the street stopping in their tracks before the trio of Sentinels. People were running into stores and bar's until the street was empty.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE!!!" "Why don' you ask you're feathered friend, after all he designed dese thing's"
"WHAT!!! I did no such thing."

"Den how do you explain dat?"
"Alright people lets go Wolverine, Storm spread out protect Warren if that's who they're after, Nightcrawler, Iceman get over here" Cyclops screamed into his com badge. "Gambit get to cover we aren't done with you yet."
"What and let you have all de fun, I don't think so mon frere."
*BAMF*
"We are here Cyclops wha-Mein Gott"
"Nightcrawler get Archangel out of here"
"What I'm not going anywhere Cyclops I can Fi-*BAMF*"
Cyclops unleashed a full force optic blast to the centre of one of the Sentinels that staggered it but another fired a bolt of energy from it's hand Cyclops was barely able to dodge it by rolling out of the way. Wolverine started slashing a Sentinel's leg and midsection while dodging it's blast's and Storm was attempting to keep them off balance with winds but was finding it difficult with the others fighting close quarters, Iceman was busy doing every thing he could and Gambit was using his agility to dodge their attacks while throwing cards and forcing them back.

//Primary weapon disabled returning to base//
Unfortunately the noise distracted Wolverine long enough for his sparring partner to blast him through a wall.
"MERDE"
"He'll be fine he heals fast." Iceman focused his powers on the neck of a Sentinel and Gambit sent three charged cards it's way taking it's head clean off leaving one remaining. Iceman was almost on his knees with exhaustion at this point and Cyclops had ran to check on Wolverine Gambit was now launching rocks at the remaining Sentinel having run out of cards. Storms eyes turned totally white as the thunder sounded and clouds gathered overhead, Gambit remembered this and got out of the way as a giant bolt of lightening left the robot a fried heap on the floor. When the smoke cleared the street was a war zone debris and destroyed property were everywhere.
"Anyone need a lift?" Nightcrawlers voice came over their com badges as the x-jet landed in the street narrowly missing buildings. Cyclops came out of the building followed by a limping blood covered Wolverine wearing the tatters of a uniform.
"Come on Remy we must leave"
"Nice ride chere looks like you been movin' up in the world non?"
"Dammit Scott you should have let me help you."
"They came for you getting you out was the best move, you know that. Now what did you mean Gambit about Warren designing those things?"
"Yeah I'd like to know that myself."
"Fine does project: sentinel mean anything to y'?"
"Project: sentinel, yes that's the name of a missile development programme my company designed for the Defence Department why does that matter?"
"cause we just ran into the "missiles" the DoD developed. The c.p.u.'s and super chips you designed for dem, dey used to create those robots to hunt mutants. I thought Magneto was gonna destroy em all, but to do dat he don't need details on how they work."
"Then what is he going to do?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
The possibility dawned on Warren first then the rest of them, the group fell silent until
"We are approaching the mansion now Scott."
"Good I'll talk to the professor immediately, Storm why don't you show Gambit around I'm sure professor Xavier will like to speak with him. Everyone else get some rest."
"Hey bub we counted the silverware."
"so dat'd make sixteen or did you use your toes too?"
"Grrr"
Gambit and Storm were in the kitchen of the school while Scott was informing the professor of their eventful afternoon.
"So Ro who's dis professor Scotty be talkin' about?"
"Professor Charles Xavier, he is the head of this school and leader of the x-men, he is also the worlds leading telepath."
"A spook, you know I don't like telepath's Stormy."
"And you know I don't like being addressed as Stormy. Don't worry he will not read you're mind without you're permission as long as you tell him what we need to know, now how about a tour?"
"Sounds like fun Stormy."
"Well it sounds like you've had quite the interesting day Scott. You say Ororo's friend is here in the school?"
"Yes why is there something wrong."
"I'm not sure I can't sense him as if he's blocking his mind from me."
"How?"
"I don't know please bring him to my study when Ororo finishes his tour."
"Of course, but do you think it's a good idea to trust him? He did just work for Magneto and if you can't read his mind we don't know for sure if he's telling the truth."
"We'll keep an eye on him but I'm sure everything will be fine after all Ororo trusts him."
"Most of the students are upstairs but sometimes some of them hang around in the rec room, oh here's one of them now Remy LeBeau this is Rogue, Rogue this is Remy Lebeau."
"Pleased to meet you mon chere"
{Mon dueu dose eyes}
"Uh yeah nice to meet you to Remy."
{My god those eyes}
Rogue blushed as Remy lifted her gloved hand to his mouth and kissed the soft material.
Thanks for reading please review and just so you know Rogue is 19 here and Remy is 23
