Chapter six
"Dis don' look so dangerous."
"Computer engage programme 14 level 2."
//Acknowledged Logan ident 4//
The scene changed from an empty room to a large building with crates and boxes covering the floor making it seem like a maze. If Gambit was impressed it didn't show he was leaning against a wall, expertly shuffling cards admiring the view of Rogue who was standing in the centre of the room in her form fitting X-men uniform.
"Like what ya see swamp rat?"
"You really have t' ask chere?" Rogue turned from Gambit's sight as she felt her cheeks flushing.
"Alright lets focus team." Cyclops took the lead as the simulation began, with laser cannon's appearing from behind panels in the wall and ceiling, //Sequence begins in 5-4-3-2-1//
Immediately the lasers were firing at them witch sent most of the team diving for cover Nightcrawler began teleporting to the canon's on the wall and taking them out, Cyclops was blasting the canon's on the ceiling. Wolverine, Rogue and Iceman were dealing with the armed attackers in streaming in from the two side entrances, Gambit Followed the X-men's lead and was dodging lasers and throwing cards at the attackers.
"Dis is d' mos' fun I had all week!"
"Crazy swamp rat!"
"Crazy for you chere."
"Will you two focus?"
Professor Xavier and Storm were in the control room watching the team's performance.
"Mr LeBeau certainly seems quite a capable young man, but something about him concerns me."
"What do you mean Charles?"
"I was unable sense anything from his mind when we spoke earlier, it's as if he's intentionally hiding his thought's from me. I understand his desire for privacy but if his intentions are to mislead or even betray us I cannot risk the lives of the students or X-Men."
"Charles I trust Remy with my life, I may not have seen him in some time but I still Know him. He was a very secretive person even back then he rarely ever spoke of his past, he would never talk about it but I think there is a lot of pain and perhaps guilt he keeps buried inside."
"Alright Ororo I'll trust him on your word."
"Thank you Charles."
//Sequence ends in 5-4-3-2-1//
"Ye handled yerself pretty good Gumbo."
"Y' should see me when I'm really tryin"
Later
"Can ah ask ya something?" Rogue found Gambit on the back porch smoking
"Go ahead chere but dat don't mean I'm gon' answer."
"How do you even know if I haven't asked yet?"
"You were goin' t' ask why I was working for Magneto Stormy told me what happened tween you two."
"He's a bastard but you don't seem like that bad of a guy, arrogant and cocky as hell but not evil."
"My world aint so clear as good and evil black or white sometimes y' got t' walk in the grey to get by."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean swamp rat?"
"Not much of anything t' you heroes I suppose."
"So ya aint goin to answer mah question then?"
"I didn't know what Magneto had planned."
{Story of my life}
"Would ya have still done the job if ya did?"
"Non but dat probly wouldn't have stopped him getting what he wanted."
"I know Gambit and thanks."
"For what?"
"For answering me."
"Anything f' you ma chere." Gambit brought Rogue's gloved hand to his face and gently kissed the back as much to annoy the figure who until now had been watching from the shadows as anything else.
"Hey kid the prof's looking for you."
"Oh hey Logan ah didn't see ya there." Rogue left leaving an angry Wolverine and a grinning Gambit alone
"You better listen up bub the girl aint gonna fall for yer damn cajun charms so y might as well quit it now. Everyone else might be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt but I'm not nearly as trustin got it?"
"F' sure mon ami, and your right I'm probly the last person YOU should trust."
With the last word Remy LeBeau walked back into Xavier's.
"So what are we going to do about Magneto sir?"
"I don't Know Scott I'll call the president and find out what he knows, when we last spoke there was no indication the Government would employ anything like this but if what Gambit says about the Defence Department is true then I find it hard to believe the president didn't have a hand in these robots."
Elsewhere
"Mister Trask I'm asking you a simple question as your commander in chief, what do you know about the incident earlier tonight in New York city?"
"Nothing Mister President if it was I anything to do with my department you would have known about it long I assure you."
"You better not be lying to me Trask."
"I wouldn't dream of it sir."
"Either way I'm ordering an investigation into your facility first thing in the morning."
"I understand I'd do the same in your position. Good night sir."

"Damn that man."
"What are we going to do now commander?"
"Nothing's changed lieutenant were moving ahead as planned."
"But what about the president and the investigation?"
"When tonight's exercise is over he'll either fall in line or be removed."
"Sir you're talking about the president this is going too far."
"Do your job soldier!"
"Yes sir."
Later
The X-MEN and Gambit were gathered in the war room awaiting the results of professor Xavier's conversation with the president.
"I have spoken with the president and he has informed me that he is not personally responsible but believes that a DoD commander may be acting on his own authority. We have the location of his base and twelve hours to conduct our own investigation and act accordingly."
"Wow the president's putting a lot of faith in y isn't he chuck how do you know he isn't setting us up?"
"I don't Logan but this is a chance we must take. Storm will you please give Gambit one of Scott's uniform's."
"Hold on homme I didn't agree to wearing no tight leathers, although it'd probly look good on me."
"Everyone wears a uniform for team identification, they also act as body armour."
"Alright, go team!"
"So where is this base professor?"
"Nevada Area 51." professor Xavier stated matter of factly shock was written all over everyone's face except two Gambit's poker face remained and Wolverine didn't find anything shocking about secret military bases housing top secret projects.
"Scott ready the jet you will be leaving immediately.
