Author's Note- Another short chappie, I'm sorry.

Kitty Pryde2- Glad I could help, I hope this is fast enough.

UndyingImmortal- Allow me to put meaning back into your life :D

keebler-elmo- he probably would have, I'm seriously thinking about changing that part. I think it came out sounding forced.

somekindafreaky- Yes... of course it was a mistake... right. Another update and so quickly, aren't you proud?

On My Own

Sleep walking through the summer rain
In the tired spaces
You could hear her name

When she was warm and tender and you
Held her arms around you
There was nothing but her
Love and affection she was
Crazy for you now she's
Part of something that you lost

And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want to be

Kitty

I'm sorry, I have some things that I need to work through. I have to be sure that I'm not going to hurt you or anyone else before I even consider coming back.

I can't tell you how sorry I am about last night. Hurting you was the last thing in the world that I would ever want. It was you who brought me out of it. If you hadn't been there, chat, things would have ended quite different.

Trask had brainwashed me, I believe that's the term your professor used. He was going to have me kill the X-Men, then the Acolytes. You were the only one I didn't have to kill because you were the only one he couldn't convince me that I hated.

Rest assured, Kitty, you're safe. I'll be close, but until I'm sure I'm safe I can't see you, or anyone else. Tell Logan to up security. I hope that will keep you and your friends safe. Make sure John knows what happened.

Take care of yourself, chat. I'll be in touch.

Remy

Kitty read the letter in confusion and slight disbelief. This came from the man who spoke in completely wrong English. With a soft smile she figured that it sort of fit that his writing still was so smooth and neat. She folded the letter up and sighed. "What's wrong?" Betsy asked approaching.

"He's gone," Kitty said. "But he's alive. I'm torn between my relief that he's alright and being hurt that he left me." Betsy read the letter.

"It says he'll be back."

"You don't know Remy," Kitty protested. "I may have meant something to him. Hell, maybe he did love me, which I doubt. But Remy doesn't stick with one girl. If he's going to be gone for a long time I don't think he'll come back."

"Don't think that, he might come back."

"I hope you're right."

Three months later in upstate New York

Remy stared at the ceiling as the woman went over his progress, in great detail. "Ems, dis all be trés interestin' but Remy's gettin' bored."

"I agreed to help you out of the goodness of my heart," Emma Frost said her glare giving her name justice.

"'Heart'? Y' have one of dose?"

"Do you want to spend the rest of the day thinking you're a chicken?"

"Remy'll behave. But y' ain't doin' dis out of the goodness of you 'heart'." He added air-quotes. "Y'r doin' dis cause y' owe Remy."

"Very well," Emma said dismissively. "Remy, as far as I can see you've completely healed. You are free to chase after whatever skirt you're after now."

Remy placed a hand on his chest looking offended. "Remy don' chase de femmes."

"Watch it, LeBeau, my insurance company doesn't cover lightening striking people down in my office."

"De femmes come ta Remy."

"Right."

"Y' were one of dem, petite."

"I claim temporary insanity."

"If dat's what y' wish." Remy stood. "So Remy's okay now?"

"Yes, you won't go crazy and kill all of your friends."

"Merci, Ems. Remy'll call y' de next time Remy's in town." He laid a kiss onto the telepath's hand and walked out. He went straight to the bar needing to think before he made any decisions and sat down. He had been away from Kitty for over three months. Much to everyone's shock he had remained faithful to Kitty, he knew that sleeping with another woman wouldn't help his problem.

"Hey handsome," a woman smiled sliding onto the stool next to him. He offered her a smile.

"Bonjour, petite." They sat together and drank and talked.

"Would you like to get out of here?"

Remy smiled. "Can't. Sides Remy don' t'ink yer homme would like dat." He took the woman's hand and kissed where her engagement ring sat. "Merci dough." He walked out and went to his apartment. He had spent all this time completely alone. It was truly hell.

It did serve one use though. He had realized his feelings for her.

Taking a deep breath Remy reached for the phone.
