Author's Note- I can't believe I'm still writing this. Yeesh!

Second Note- I know, it's really short, I apologize but I just had to end that chapter there. I hope to have a new one up soon.

Rescue

I've got no fear at all
To fall so deep into you
Lose myself completely In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased

From your mouth it's all that I wish
The mercy of your lips just one kiss
Until I can breathe again
-Sarah McLachlan

Three weeks later

Kitty was sitting talking on the phone to Kurt when Logan came in. "I have to go," she told Kurt seeing the look on Logan's face. "I'll call you later." She hung up. "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I have good news and bad news."

"Okay..."

"Good news is, the professor just picked up Gambit's mutant signature." Kitty's eyes widened and he raised a hand. "The bad news is that he's been captured by Trask."

"Captured? But why wouldn't Trask, like, kill him outright?"

"We don't know. Come on downstairs, the prof and I were just trying to come up with a plan."

"You're... going to rescue him."

Logan smiled. "I may despise Bucket-Head's lackeys but the kid took care of you. I owe him for that." Kitty followed him downstairs.

"I've called Magneto," Xavier said. "He denies all knowledge of the mission. He also refuses to help."

"Figures," Kitty said bitterly.

"We figure that the less people we send the better. Kitty, you can get yourself and Wolverine in with no problem. Logan, your job is to cover her. Get in, grab him, and get out. That's it."

"Understood," Logan nodded.

"When are we going?" Kitty asked.

"In an hour," Xavier told her.

Kitty looked up at Logan who nodded. "Go get dressed."

In the air

The plane landed on top of the building silently. "Be quick," Warren said cutting the engine. "We wait an hour then we come in after you."

"Okay," Kitty said. She phased the two of them into the building. It was late so the guards were scarce. The ones that were there were easily dispatched by Logan. They finally made it to the place they knew Remy was being held.

"You go into the cell," Logan said. "I'll watch out here." Kitty phased inside and gasped.

"Remy," she rushed to him. He looked up and smiled.

"Kitty," he let her hug him but didn't return it with much enthusiasm. Kitty was too relieved to notice.

"I thought you were dead," she whispered against his chest. "I was so worried."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Kitty frowned at his answer.

"Come on, we have to get out of here. She took his hand and led him out of the cell. Logan had knocked out a couple more soldiers.

"This was way too easy."

"They probably just, like, counted on us thinking he was dead," Kitty said taking Remy's hand and touching Logan's arm air-walking them upwards and through the ceiling. They got onto the plane and Warren took off. Kitty cuddled up next to Remy on the flight back but he wasn't very receptive. She pulled away. "Rem, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay, that's, like, the second time. You never talk like that. What's wrong?" He kissed her long and hard until she forgot about everything but him.

"Don' worry." She still frowned a little. There was something not right here. They landed before she could dwell on it too much.
