Project: Sentinel
Chapter five
"Before we get started would you prefer I call you Remy or Gambit?"
"Dat's your call prof either one's fine by me."
"Alright then Remy why don't you begin by telling us exactly what and why Magneto hired you to…acquire for him."
"Acquire don't y' mean steal?" Gambit said grinning
"If you prefer please go on."
"He hired me t' get him all the information Worthington-Tech had on the technology dey sold to the Department of Defence."
"Why?"
"You're de telepath shouldn' y' already know all this?"
"I am not in the habit of invading the minds of our allies Remy."
"What makes you so sure I'm an ally?"
"I cannot be sure, you're mind is apparently very well guarded."
"Witch means you tried to read me?"
"No but I can usually pick up surface thought's without actively using my telepathy, however you are total psychic static. But I'm sure you already knew that." Gambit's grin widened at this.
"As I was saying I thought Magneto was gonna use the info t' destroy the Sentinels the tech was used to build."
"But he's not?"
"Non he's gonna use it to reprogram dem."
"To do what?"
"Why ask questions when you already know the answers?"
"Why answer my questions with a question?"
"To hunt humans, what else." Professor Xavier knew what he was going to say but needed to hear it from his mouth to believe it.
"Hey Rogue did you see that guy Storm was with earlier?" Kitty almost ran into the rec room, news about new arrivals travels fast at Xavier's and Gambit's was no different.
"Yeah his name's Remy, he's from New Orleans."
"Wow is he staying? He's hot but isn't he a little old to be a student?"
"I think he's just here 'cause of an X-men mission he's a friend of Storm's."
"I know why he's really here." Bobby had just come downstairs after changing from his uniform.
"Hey Bobby how'd the first mission go?"
"You should'a seen it there was these-uh-these robots just landed in the street and started saying they were gonna kill that Archangel guy then we just took em apart no problem I froze em it was so cool."
"Wow really real life robots?" Kitty couldn't believe it.
"Yeah."
"So why's Remy here?" Rogue couldn't help but be interested, for some reason she couldn't forget about him.
"He's a thief he stole some files from Warren's office, and get this he did it for Magneto."
"He's working for Magneto? He doesn't seem like a bad guy."
"Well he's definitely not a good guy."
"How da you know?"
"Why do you even care?"
"I'll care about what ever ah want it's none o your business!! Not anymore."
Rogue stormed off leaving an open mouthed red faced Bobby wondering what just happened'
"Kitty, what the hell was that?"
"She's probably still mad about you dumping her."
"WHAT I didn't dump her, we just…ya know drifted apart, iv'e been busy with the x-men..and it just wasn't working, she's the one who called it off."
"Whatever, maybe she's just got a crush on that new guy."
"What happened to my sentinels lieutenant?"
"Two of them were destroyed sir, the other returned after severe damage."
"SEVERE DAMAGE!!! DESTROYED!!! What the hell happened? Worthington couldn't do this."
"The right eye video feed showed several mutants engaging the units."
"Bring up the images."
"Yes sir."
"Damn it's those freaks from the Alkali lake incident."
"Sir you should also know that the media is all over the story they have a street full of eye witnesses. That means the President is going have some questions for you."
"HA. The President, this project is so far above Presidential clearance he couldn't find us with a telescope. Those muties are the only ones who can find us now, providing they're smart enough to find the connection, and even then it'll be too late, not even they can defeat the whole fleet of Sentinels."
"But what about Magneto he controls Magnetism that means he can affect metal."
"I know what he can do I helped design his prison, not even he can affect so many units at once. When the mutants get here we'll have the perfect opportunity to test the Sentinels full capabilities. Ready all remaining units and repair unit 2, keep me posted."
"Yes commander Trask."
"Hey Rogue calmed down yet?"
"Yeah sorry about that Kitty, I don't know what happened I just lost it. Maybe I'll just avoid him for a while."
"That'll be easy there's something going on with the x-men anyway."
"Something to do with that guy Remy?"
"I knew it you think he's hot."
"Oh please I do not."
"You do!"
"Yeah right
{*Rogue please join us in the war room immediately*}
"Uh I gotta go Kitty the professor just called me."
"He called you, what for?"
"I dunno I guess I'll go find out."
"Ah please come in Rogue." Rogue entered the room where the whole x-men team, Archangel and Gambit were waiting Iceman was looking at the floor avoiding her eyes.
"Uhm you wanted to see me professor?"
"Yes I'd like to ask you to accompany the team for a mission Wolverine believes you're ready. What do you say?" Rogue was shocked this was the last thing she expected'
"Why do you want me professor?"
"Honestly my dear you may be the only one who can stop hundreds possibly thousands of mutants or humans from being killed." The look on her face was of absolute horror.
"Me-how-why what do you mean?"
"From what Archangel has informed us the components used to manufacture the Sentinel robots once programmed can be controlled by a single code, the only man who has this code will not be forthcoming with it, and since I will not be in the area I will be unable to read his mind. We will need you to absorb it from his memories."
"Oh um ok then I guess I'll go and change."
"Thank you Marie." Professor Xavier said with a small smile on his face. "Gambit will you accompanying the team? "
"Wouldn' miss it homme."
"Warren what about you?"
"I'm afraid I can't I have a meeting with deputy director Kirsh of the
Defence Department they had a tip off about the break-in."
"Alright Cyclops ready the team you'll leave in four hours"
"Hey bub if yer comin with us we bettter know what you can do how about a visit to the danger room?"
"Sure ting' mon ami." Wolverine walked down the silver hall toward a large steel door and entered the code on the key panel.
"Hey Stormy what's a danger room?"
"You'll find out."
Please review and tell me if you think Gambit should stay with X-men after the story ends, there will be a sequel with Sinister but I'm not sure if he should be an X-man when that starts or by the end of it. Thanks for reading.
