Psylocke's Telepathic Record Day 73

            Everything is very confusing. I don't know what to do. The Phoenix has risen. She saved us from a Sentinel attack. But, it's too soon and I'm worried. I'm not sure how much to tell, but I do know that the Hellfire Club will be making their presence known soon. I'm sure of it. Xavier is aware of them, he can't not be. But I don't think he realizes their true reach. I'm pretty sure Warren has a membership or was offered one. He's old money and Worthington Industries has had some "help" over the years. I wonder how long it'll be before Xavier realizes that my family has a membership too. There's an uncomfortable subject. I don't even want to think about it. I don't think I have much choice though; the truth will come out soon. I know it.

            Rogue was right and wrong you know. About me meeting Mystique. See, I met her in my original body. God I miss my old body. The blonde hair and non-ninja brainwashing was wonderful. She came to recruit me and my brother but we were uninterested. Ha. That's putting it lightly. I don't know what her relationship with Kwannon, my new body's former owner, was but I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that she obviously knew Mystique. It's unnerving that my body spent 21 years without me in it.

            That's another thing; I'm not as old as my body. I was only 19 when I was placed in this 21 year old. Not that I'm complaining… now that I'm in the States, I can still drink. Score. It's funny but I think this new body might mean I get a new start. I mean, my first 16 years were wonderful. I lived with my parents and older brothers Brian and Jamie. Though now, Brian and I are the same age. Anyway, we lived in a nice mansion and had money. I went to private school and everything was wonderful. I loved my life. Until my powers manifested. I started hearing voices and having headaches. My brother Brian had already manifested his powers, so I knew I was a mutant. That didn't mean I had to like it. Mystique propositioned my parents but they didn't want us to leave. My brother had gained control with almost no problem. Me? I was struggling to understand what was happening. Every once in a while I would have flashes of the future, precognitions. Talk about confusing! Eventually, I got the hang of it. So when my brother disappeared, I took over his role as Britain's protector.

            Funny how stuff turns out. After my time as a "superhero", I was approached by S.T.R.I.K.E., the British counterpart to S.H.I.E.L.D. I began to work with them, and eventually I was asked to use my parent's membership to infiltrate the Hellfire Club. There I met a young woman, Miss Emma Frost. She used her stronger telepathy to force me to bend to her will. She mentally raped me, ripping memories from me with no regard for personal privacy. She hurt me more than anybody ever has. Lucky for me, another low-level telepath in the club helped me escape. But in our dealings, I did receive another precognition. Phoenix would rise. Then the White Queen would kidnap and turn her evil. Try to rule the universe with her too. I guess if I'm gonna have to tell them. Damn Frosty and all who help her. I hate her. When we fight her, and I have no doubt that we will fight her, I may have to accidentally use my psi-knives to lobotomize her. I don't know if it's possible, but I'm gonna sure as hell try. Stupid bitch, abusing me and my powers. And what would my brothers say now? See Brian, I decided against that dye job, but somehow I still ended up with purple hair. Yeah, that'll go over well. Better to just stay at the Institute, let them think I'm dead.

            The Phoenix is what really worries me. More than anything else. I know she holds great power. She can destroy the universe without breaking a sweat. I'm scared. After Jean's powers flared into the Phoenix force, I was shell shocked. That wasn't so bad, but when she was kidnapped, I knew. Hellfire got her. I'm torn. Do I tell and risk expulsion or do I hide it and risk the end of the world? Not much of a choice really. Guess being an X-Man really has softened me up. I better go see the Professor now. No sense in wasting more time.

Psylocke: Elisabeth Braddock

*Professor?* Betsy tried to contact the school's namesake telepathically. *I really need to talk with you.*

*Betsy? What is it? I'm rather busy* the Professor's response was calm, laced with hidden worry.

*I would like the team to convene in the War Room* she replied, feeling her nerves grow. *I have something to share.*

*Can't it wait?* Professor Xavier responded. *I was about to get on Cerebro to search for Jean.*

*Don't bother* Betsy stated bluntly. *And what I have to say is about Jean.*

*Very well.* The Professor then directed his next message to the entire X-Men team. *X-Men please assemble in the War Room immediately.*

All of the X-Men were had been very tense, ever since Jean had been kidnapped. They all dropped what they were doing and immediately made their way to the lower levels of the mansion. Betsy and the Professor were there first, having called the meeting. Cecelia was soon to follow, sulking quietly in the corner. Scott was soon to follow, practically sprinting into the room. 'Wonder how much he'll hate me after I tell them what I know?' Psylocke pondered before her nerves consumed her once again. Bishop came next, ever the punctual soldier. And Ororo was prompt as well. They were followed closely by Piotr who appeared to be humoring an excited Kurt. Kitty, Rogue, and surprisingly Remy entered a few minutes after, the latter two in a heated argument. Rogue seemed ready to throttle the Cajun, and Kitty looked like she was tearing up, she was laughing so hard. Logan skulked in after them muttering something about kids. Warren was the last to join, shooting an angry look at Remy who was still arguing with Rogue. Rogue didn't seem to notice how happy Gambit was at the attention he was receiving from the Southern belle, nor how close she was sitting to him.

The Professor cleared his throat and all the noise died down. "Betsy has asked us here because she has some information about Jean," he announced calmly.

Immediately a buzz of excited chatter filled the room. That did nothing to help Betsy's nerves. She stood up and everybody shut their mouths. "This is very difficult for me to share, so I would appreciate it if you could please wait to comment until I am finished," her normally calm English tone was now filled with nerves. "About three years ago, I manifested my powers. My brother, Brian also known as "Britain's greatest hero" Captain Britain, had manifested his powers about a year and a half before me. I knew I was mutant. Rogue was right when she accused me of knowing Mystique. She came and offered my brother and me a spot in the Brotherhood; however, we turned her down. The thing is, Mystique didn't use me as a base for Risty. I was a short, white, blonde." There was more than one confused look in the group. "I'll explain that later. Anyway, I was hearing voices in my head and receiving images I couldn't control. My family was unaware of the Institute or anything like that, but eventually I got it under control. I even took over for my brother, assuming his role as Captain Britain when he was off on other adventures. But, the images still disturbed me." Rogue had a sympathetic look on her face, obviously able to relate with her powers, and she unconsciously leaned into Gambit for support. He placed a comforting arm on her shoulder without her noticing and pulling away. For once Warren didn't seem to notice either. His attention was completely on the purple haired ninja. 'What a time for him to notice me,' she thought wryly. "One day, a group called S.T.R.I.K.E. approached me and offered me a position in their organization."

"S.T.R.I.K.E.? Vhat is zat?" Kurt asked curiously.

Logan answered before Betsy had a chance. "It's like a British version of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Right," Betsy agreed. "They sent me on a mission to infiltrate the Hellfire Club–"

"Hellfire?!" Warren blurted out in shock. He noticed the stares and blushed slightly. 'So much for no interruptions,' Betsy thought with a mental eye roll.

"What's a Hellfire?" Kitty asked innocently.

Warren opened his mouth, then closed it again. He shot Betsy a desperate look and she sighed. "Hellfire is a club. A very elite club," she explained slowly. "Most of the members are just rich people who are oblivious to any of the inner dealings. There is a group, known as the Inner-Circle which in New York consists of a Black and White King, Queen, Bishop, and Rook. In London they are referred to as Red instead of Black. They are all mutants and they are very powerful in both the power sense and in the business and political world. They have a hand in almost everything."

"I was offered the position of White Bishop after my mutant gene was discovered by Sebastian Shaw. He's the leader of the New York branch and Black King," Warren told the X-Men. "My family has held a membership for many generations. In fact, Shaw is even a distant relative. That's part of the reason he offered. I declined because I assumed it would just be rich people talking about frivolous things. I hate that kind of bull shit."

Betsy nodded before continuing. "I infiltrated the club, but a woman named Miss Emma Frost caught me. She mentally abused me, it still… hurts. Luckily, there was another girl there. A low level telepath. She would help me escape from Emma's reign of terror."

*Say no more* Professor Xavier commanded telepathically. *There are some things that the X-Men don't need to know. We'll talk about her later.*

Betsy continued as if she hadn't been mentally interrupted, "I returned to S.T.R.I.K.E. only to be kidnapped by a group of assassins." Remy's ears perked up but he was pretty sure it wasn't the Rippers. "They're based in Asia, called the Hand. They messed with my mind, brainwashing me and teaching me to be a ninja. About 6 months after I had arrived, the leader switched my mind with his lover, Kwannon, so that I could inhabit her body. She had been comatose for some time. Our bodies and some of our personalities ended up melded, but I still look like her. I lost my precog abilities, but I'm now able to manifest my psi-blades. So this is not my body, it's a couple years older than my original. And Rogue, I'm sorry, but I don't know why Mystique chose to emulate Kwannon or how she knew her. A few months later, I was able to regain some control over myself and I discovered the Xavier Institute. So I came."

Everybody sat in silence, absorbing what they had been told. How awful for somebody so young to have been so abused. Scott was the first out of his reverie. "Thank you for sharing Betsy, but what does this have to do with Jean?" His words were calm but his mind was screaming at her to share.

"While I was with Hellfire, I managed to get a precognition," Betsy explained. "I saw the Phoenix rising, and the White Queen kidnapping her to turn her evil. The Phoenix is a powerful entity. She holds the power of the universe in her hands. Evil… she could destroy us all."

Scott jumped up and rushed Betsy. "Why didn't you tell us sooner? She's been gone for days! We could have been searching this whole time!"

Tears filled Betsy's eyes. "I'm sorry, okay? When you're mentally raped and abused, then you can tell me how much you want to relive it." With that, tears began to flow down her face and she raced out the room. Warren quickly stood and followed her.

Scott stood stiffly for a full minute before he turned to the Professor. The older man offered no comfort, saying, "I'm going to go use Cerebro to search for this Phoenix force. Scott, would you please accompany me, I think we should talk."

"Right," Scott agreed. The two exited the War Room without anymore words. They were followed by quietly conversing instructors and a still silent Cecilia.

"Wow," was the first coherent thought Kitty could form. "Just, like, wow."

"Yeah," Rogue agreed. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of her daze. She finally noticed Remy's arm, which hadn't moved and said, "Move it or lose it Swamp Rat."

Kitty shot Kurt a look and the two started laughing. Kurt quietly said something to Piotr, grabbed his arm and BAMFed to an unknown location. Kitty airwalked up to the next level, leaving Rogue and Remy to use the elevator. They resumed their previous argument, trying to bring a sense of normalcy back to the mansion.

.·°¤°·.·°¤°·.·°¤°·.·°¤°·.·°¤°·.

Betsy was sitting on her bed, a blank expression on her face. Her blinking was rhythmic as Warren stood observing her from the doorway. Finally he entered the room and stood in front of her. "Hellfire?" he questioned gruffly. "Why didn't you say anything to me? You know I'm a member. I have the shirt."

Betsy let out a hollow laugh, before meeting his eyes. He suppressed a shudder when he looked in them. So cold and empty. Filled with years of pain and anguish. The girl, and she was still a girl, was hurting. And nobody had seen it. "I guess I was just hoping I could avoid it."

"I can understand that," Warren tried to comfort her. He pulled her into an awkward hug. "Listen, I think we could be friends. I can understand you." He smiled warmly at her. "I just want you to know that you can come to me anytime you need to talk. And it'll stay between us. I promise."

"Thank you," Betsy told her crush as he exited, slightly pleased that they were finally connecting.

*Betsy, would you please come to my office* the Professor requested telepathically.

*Sure Professor* the Asian mutant replied, feeling her nerves grow once again.

Betsy walked quickly to the office on the first floor. She walked right in, deciding that knocking was useless, since Professor Xavier could sense her before she entered. Inside were Charles Xavier, Ororo Monroe, Logan, with Magneto and Beast, on the view screen from Massachusetts. "Betsy, we need to talk to you," Xavier began.

"If you want me to leave, I understand," she murmured quietly. "I can be gone by morning."

"What do you mean child?" Storm asked confused. "We only wished to discuss Tessa with you."

"Tessa? From Hellfire? Why?" now Betsy was confused.

"She's a low-level telepath and has a photographic memory with the data storaging capacity of a computer," Charles stated calmly. "And she's our spy in the Hellfire network."

"You've known about Hellfire? And Tessa knew me… did she alert you to what they had done to me?" Betsy was angry now. Since entering this room she had been on an emotional roller coaster.

"Yes and no. Tessa did not know the extent of the White Queen's influence. But, she risked the Inner-Circle discovering that she was a mole when she helped you," Xavier explained empathetically. "We request that you keep it under wraps that Tessa helped you at all, it could blow her cover."

Betsy took a deep, calming breath. She looked strait into the Professor's eyes, and slowly nodded. Then, she had a thought. "Wait. If Tessa keeps you alerted to Hellfire's actions, then she should have told you about the White Queen's kidnapping."

"Yes, well, she hasn't said anything," the Professor told Betsy. "But, she does work for the Black King, not the White Queen, so she may not be aware."

Betsy nodded, understanding what the Professor was telling her. That's when she noticed that almost the entire staff, save Cecilia, was present. "Uhm, is there a reason that all of the adults are here?" Betsy inquired, feeling her nerves grow once more.

"Yes," Ororo answered. "Tessa is our friend." Betsy looked more confused. "You see, when the Professor first started his Institute, he and Magneto were working together. They built Cerebro and found myself and Logan. I was in only in my late twenties, and he helped us control our mutations. About a year later he helped Henry, who was about the same age as me, but not blue and furry. Tessa, was the last to come, and the youngest, being in her late teens."

"I thought Scott was your first student," Betsy interrupted.

"He was, in a way," the Professor tried to explain. "He was the first X-Man I had that was also a student of mine, but not the first mutant I helped." Charles chose to continue the story. "Anyway, after a couple years, Henry chose to leave, with his mutation under control. Magnus and I had our falling out. And Tessa–"

"Tessa decided to take a job working for Sebastian Shaw," Logan supplied. "She knew she was the best one for the job, with some telepathy that the Professor had helped her control and the ability to store things in her memory like a computer."
"Plus she has a photographic memory, that she can use and decipher meaning later," Dr. McCoy added. "It is quite remarkable."

"She also has amazing control over her emotions," Storm commented. "She was the perfect candidate. And she volunteered. Logan and myself decided to stay on as instructors when the Professor detected Scott's manifestation. I'm sure you've heard the rest."

"How long has Tessa been with Hellfire?" Betsy asked, still curious.

The adults exchanged glances. "About five years," Beast said. "I believe she's just turned 24."

"That's right," the Professor confirmed. "She spent two years at the Institute, and left when she was 19 for her undercover job with Hellfire. She's been reporting monthly ever since."

"Wow," was all Betsy could formulate. "If you'll allow me, I'd like to go digest this information."

"Of course," Professor Xavier conceited. "But please, don't share anymore than necessary with the other students. I'm not sure what they would think and the more people that know, the more likely Tessa's position will be compromised."

"Right-O," Betsy agreed. "Will do." She exited the office, head spinning.

"Did we do the right thing, Chuck?" Wolverine asked, concerned. "Tellin' her."

"I believe so," Magneto spoke up for the first time. "The girl is very good at keeping secrets, and we can trust her. It's better that she understand, then go in confused. Confusion leads to mess-ups."

"Speakin' from experience, bub?" Logan asked with a growl.

"Now Logan," the Professor scolded. "None of that. What's done is done. All we can do is wait to see how everything pans out. I am going to go search for the Phoenix force on Cerebro again." The adults all nodded in agreement. The screen with Beast and Magnus went blank as Professor X rolled out of the room, flanked by Storm and Wolverine.

Author's Note: I decided to talk at the end this time. I just wanted to let you know that I did massive research on Psylocke, and I decided to tweak Betsy's past slightly so that it would make more sense in my story and the Evo-verse. Like the Mystique and Emma thing. But most of the rest is true. Betsy did work for S.T.R.I.K.E., take over the Captain Britain role, meet Tessa, and all the stuff involving Hand. I know that Betsy and Brian were twins before the switch in the comics, but I thought this was more interesting. I also warped Phoenix and decided to link Betsy into it so that there was a reason for her past to be explained. Also, after the X-Men were believed dead, Betsy did choose not to inform her family for a time. I didn't make that up. Or the precog thing. :P So, some JOTT and some ROMY and Warren/Betsy hinting, though we can see Warren still likes Rogue. All the Hellfire stuff was Comic based too, Warren's part included. I know I made up the stuff about her being a student with Hank, Ororo, and Logan, but I did it 'cause in the Evo comic, Storm and Logan were discovered as adults before Scott or Jean. So I figured that I'd play off of that, and since Professor Xavier already knew Hank, I'd add him too. *author shrugs* Call it a creative license. Sorry if anybody is upset. Next chappy… meet Dark Phoenix. -_- Until then, don't forget to review!! I LOVE you all!!

Review Responses: If I somehow missed you… I'm UBER sorry!! I appreciate every review I receive. They make me grin. Like a dork. But it's okay. 'Cause I am one. A dork that is. And now I'm babbling. I'll stop now. :P - Aro: Okay, firstly (is that a word? I think so…) DAMN!! LO-OO-OO-OO-NG review. To keep my response from being a full page, all food-related Q&A will be saved for the next "Changes" review. And thanks for answering my _slightly_ obvious questions. OH!! And putting KIOTR in!! A personal fav, I might add, besides R&R of course. :P Chapter Seven was completed this past weekend, chapter 8 on Monday, and I'm currently halfway through 9. Remy loves Rogue?? Didn't see that one coming. *reader deadpans* But I digress, I used alphabetical order 'cause I didn't want to forget anybody. *blushes and laughs embarrassed* Why does Bish hate Rems?? Good question. All we know, okay you (the reader) knows, is what was said in Remy's letter to his Tante Mattie. Should be a little more detail in Chapter 5, Bishop's chappy in case you were curious. Beautiful relationship, eh?? I can only hope. Hah!! They won't, okay Rogue won't, even be considering being "more than friends" for a li'l while. Say, until what I have yet to write. Maybe chappy 10. And EWEWEWEW Bishop & Wolvie?? EWEWEWEW!! *Scared for life!!* Typo's just for me?? Gee, thanks. *cough cough* sarcasm *cough cough* You made my morning brighter!! - GambitsRogue: Yeah, too bad the whole "jealousy" thing didn't work out for him. Starting over… and in a few (3) chappies, changing a li'l… for the better perhaps?? I'm trying to be cryptic and failing miserably. Rogue's just that kinda girl… leavin' poor Remy hangin'. :P Not for long tho. - Katrina5: Thank you SO much for your compliments!! I'm glad it's unique… I try my best. :P I LOVE Bish and Bets… they deserve to be in the Evo-verse too!! Poor Scott and Jean, always teased for being "mature". Oh well, they can take it. Glad you like Remy… he's an annoying li'l shit tho, ain't he?? *watches for angry Remy fans with pitch forks* Hehe. - Princess of Monkeys: Yay!! Glad you like the format!! I was UBER nervous 'bout doing it 'cause it was new for me. So thank you. And I'm happy that you like the added tension. :P I wanted to try to stay true to Rogue's character. In this fic at least, she might be MORE outgoing and confident 'cause she's team leader, but she's not any MORE forgiving. I LOVE Psylocke and Bishop in the comics, they add something to me. And as for Tessa, I think you know the answer now. We'll be meeting her *briefly* next chappy, another mention chapter 6, and actual conversation chapter 7. That's all I've written for now, but I might try to do a "Tessa" chappy at some point. I like the X-Treme team… but weren't there others like Thunderbird, Heather and her brother… they're not showing up. Cannonball will be in a New Mutants cameo in chapter 8. And, EWEWEW for Storm and Gambit kissing!! Not in my story!! - Lady Sir Henry Morgan: Bummer. :( Aw. You're too sweet. Better and better?? *gulp* I hope I can live up to that. You've read my other stories?? Poor baby. :P - Misa1124: Wow. Thanks SOSOSO for the compliments. I really like your "Just a Friend" story!! I reviewed the new chappy. I'm really glad you like my characters and storyline. It's about to take a sharp turn, so I hope you like where it's going. - Klinoa: I'm glad you like my diary format. I wanted to try something new… but the story didn't flesh out without some life action stuff too. I'm cool?? *jumps for joy like a loser* Probly not anymore, huh?? I'm flattered by your compliments. :) - Allie: Like it?? Thanks!! ROMY?? Hmm… I think I might be able to supply that. Not much this chappy, just a tiny bit of interaction. Next chappy will be some Remy likes Rogue stuff. Chapter 6, things change slightly… and chapter 7 even more. - T.: Well, that says it all. :P Thanks for reviewing!! I'm happy that your happy!! :) TTFN- Ishandahalf: You make me happy. I just wanted to tell you that. Anyway, thank you SOSOSO much for your compliments. I feel honored. *blushes slightly* Remy… a character… and sexy?? Never!! He's a boring prig and you know it!! *author runs away from hoards of Remy lovers* :P Rogue and Remy. Romy. Gotta love it!! Poor Remy really can't seem to get Rogue's attention. *cough cough* loser *cough cough* J/K Romy status… some Remy loves Rogue in chapter 5 (and MORE Warren jealousy), and something in their relationship will change, for the better, in chapter 6. Chapter 7 has some more fun Remy too. Jealousy fun!! But not Remy's… but still. There'll be some Betsy jealous of Rogue too (this chappy and 7). Glad you find death amusing *author backs away slowly* and Bishop and Remy's sort of friendship. I love writing them. There'll be some fun Rogue/Bishop banter in chapter 6. Well, I think it's fun. Remy's not scared of Bishop, he's just selectively avoiding him. Hehe. Thank you SOSOSO much for reviewing. You're too kind. As for Betsy, your wish was my command. - EternalStarlight: Thank you so much for the sweet review!! *blushes slightly* I feel loved!! :) I'm really glad you like it. YAY!! - The Rogue Witch: Damn Cajun?? Blasphemy!! I would never say such a thing. *reader rolls eyes* Or maybe I would. I LOVE Evo Gambit too!! I think he's a li'l bit of a masochist too. Just like me!! :P Our creepy, mentally imbalanced sociopath of an Acadian. -_- I hope this chappy lives up to your expectations. *sweats slightly under pressure* - Nie Starwhistler: Aw, shucks. Thanks a bunch. That's really sweet of you. :) - btch: You don't like Bishop?? Aw. Well, can't win 'em all I suppose. He's not boring… just misunderstood, lonely, and socially challenged. Okay, maybe he's a tad broody and moody, but… well, like I said – can't win 'em all. Remy and Rogue, li'l interaction this chappy, more next chappy, then in chapter 6… everything changes. We find out how Rogue feels. And some more in chapter 7. Rogue won't try to kill Remy… I don't think… :P Anyway, I hope that you're opinion of Bish will change, but if not I won't cry over it. Much. - Niteflite: Holy cow?? You're from India, aren't you?? J/K I'm not funny, huh?? Anyway, hooked eh?? Like a bunny on crack I suppose. :P I'm glad you like Evo Bishop… I tried to make him more fun than Comic Bishop. More Rogue/Remy to come. Promise. I did have a happy day, thank you. -_- You're very considerate. - msqre: I confirm nothing!! Except this is a ROMY. :P You read my other fics?? Poor thing. And I'm glad you had faith – I promise their relationship will progress. Unfortunately, not very quickly. Look out for chapter 6 & 7 tho. Remy thinks?? I guess he must. I'm glad you liked his labels, kinda like Logan in that sense. Thank you so much for your compliments. *blushes* - RahneMan: I think you should know where Emma stands now… and she's gonna show up more next chappy. Selene might be mentioned in chapter 8 – the Hellions are referenced, but she won't be playing TOO big of a roll. More if I get to write a Massachusetts Academy Diary series. Actually, the Avengers will be mentioned in chapter 9. It's not huge, but a cute cameo. I made the Avengers team consist of Captain America, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, Hawkeye, and Ms. Marvel. Only Cap, Pie, and Wanda will be mentioned by name. Actually Logan will mention the name Danvers. I think it's cute tho. I'm considering writing an S.H.I.E.L.D./Avengers diary series, but I know very little about most of the Avengers and their adventures, so maybe not. I hope you like it, though it is 5 chappies away. W00T baby!! - The Rogue Cajun: I'm cool!! *jumps for joy* Thanks!! Hehe. Thank you for reviewing. - Rogue4eva: Rogue's not really trying to make Remy jealous. She's not even sure of his affections. She's slightly oblivious because she was basically ignored for a bunch of years. Now two guys like her, and she doesn't even notice because she doesn't realize that she's beautiful. Tragic, isn't it. And YES!! they will end up together. Promise. It is a ROMY after all. - Rogue77: Aw, you're UBER sweet. Just figured I'd throw some German in for kicks. Sorry 'bout Spanish. If you want I could respond in Spanish, but I have bad grammar. Speak it fluently, but don't write it much. I'm glad you like ROMY… as far as I know, Remy and Elisabeth never dated. He went to her bedside when she was comatose 'cause Betsy invaded his mind when HE was comatose and she learned his "dark secret", i.e. the Morlock Massacre. He was angry with her. Ah, Rogue and Remy. They will be getting together, but it won't be for a while. Patience. Their relationship will change in chapter 6, but they won't go out until later. Paige is Paige Guthrie a.k.a. Husk. She's Sam Guthrie a.k.a. Cannonball's little sister, currently in Uncanny X-Men formerly in the Generation X series. And dating Angel even though she's like 18 or 19 to his like 28 or 29. Bleh!! Not everybody hates Gambit… just Logan, Bishop, Scott, Warren, and Cecelia (but she hates everybody). Here's the update, as requested. Don't forget to review. English or Spanish are acceptable but English is preferred. :P - Remy's Ange: First of all, thank you for reviewing all of my chappies. You're one of my favorite authors. I LOVE "CommitmentPhobia"!! That's UBER sweet of you. I'm glad you enjoyed Kitty's account. It was most of the exposition… trying to reintroduce the characters and all that. Wow. You REALLY liked Rogue's chappy. YAY!! Wit and humor, eh?? Must have slipped in on accident. Warren's not a perv… he's a guy. Okay, maybe they're the same thing. :P Bish is a good guy, what can I say?? Li'l stiff, but good. The way I see it, if Rogue came out of her shell a little and got some confidence and sass, she'd be unstoppable. That's why I made her a team leader, to give her those things. Can I help it if the men respond positively to the change?? I guess I could, being the author and all… :) A gem eh? Cool. Remy likes Rogue?? I hadn't noticed… hehe. Rogue's not REALLY playing hard to get per say, more like she's so used to being ignored that now that guys are noticing her, she's completely oblivious. THANKS for putting me on your favorites list. *blushes* Here's the update, as requested. - SickmindedSucker: Yay!! Do love the ROMYness. Warren does NOT look older!! Remy looks old too!! *rolls eyes* Who cares?? Still a ROMY!! Homework's evil?? Ya don't say. :P Nice job multitasking by the way. Skills. Glad you're a good "sick minded sucker". I'll try harder!! :) I don't know what you meant by "…dude, I didn't say that…" – more confusion!! - Shockgoddess: It's all good about reviews. I'm just happy every time I receive one. That's kinda sad, huh?? Oh well. Thanks for writing under threat of death. Scary. :P Warren does like Rogue, but that doesn't mean Rogue likes Warren. Think about it. I'm glad the ROMY in "Thin Blue Line" will appear soon. Update it man!! Gambit is a funny dude, ain't he?? Yeah, Gambit and diary ain't cool. Thanks for your compliments. :) - evanescence kicks ass: Hehe. Love the name. I bet you get that a lot tho. I'm glad you like the diary entry idea. I was hoping it would be popular and people seem to like it. YAY!! I'm glad I'm cool. *dances around like an idiot* Oh, you meant the idea. *hangs head in shame* Anyway, thanks for the review.
