Chapter 21: Nawlins

Rogue groaned and sat up in her bed. She felt her head and noticed the rather large knot on the side of her head. She groaned and looked around. The bed was good sized and she was alone. But the window was boarded up and the door was probably locked. She got up finding herself way to dizzy, and sat back down.

"Remy, were are yea." She whispered looking around the room for a way out. She walked slowly to the door still dizzy and listened hearing voices.

"Why we be keepin'er?" A man asked.

"Because, she e meanin somethn ta da prince, if she be meanin somethin ta 'em den maybe she be meanin ta Jean-Luc?" A woman answered.

"Den dey make a 'greement?"

"Dat be da question." Footsteps came to rogues ears and she hurried behind the door. The door opened but a staff hit Rogue on her knot. She winced. "Dey be camras."

"Ah should have guessed." Rogue mutters. "Why am Ah 'ere?"

"Cause, yea be wit Remy." The woman says tossing her blond hair and smacking Rogue with the ends. "Now what he see in yea? I'm 10x more the bella."

"Yer after Remy?" Rogue asks raising a eyebrow. "What? He get yea prego?"

"Non. And I'm not da one after Remy, yea be. See I have Remy. He be my husband." Belladonna laughs at her face. "Yea been played."

"He's married?"

"Oui. But don't be so sad. It not be amour, only famille." She laughs and then walks around Rogue.

"They why are we here?" Rogue demands.

"Cause, it be famille bussiness. And guild bussiness. Dat don't consirn yea, does it?"

"No. But Remy does. He's mah teammate." Rogue says and Belladonna frowns glaring at her.

"Yea know his papa? Da Theif Guild ruler?"

"No." Rogue says.

"Den what team be talkin bout?"

"Magneto." Rogue answers calmly.

"Da gang up in N' ork? He in dat?"

"Yes, we both are." Belladonna glares at the door. "Julien aint be tellin me dis."

"Well Ahm sure yea know more den Ah do." Rogue snorts.

"Yea be wit da Assians now. And dey aint on friendly ground wit da theifs. And Remy be da Prince."

"Ah knew thaht."

-Elsewere-

"Bonjour Julien, yea look betta den how Gambit left yea." Remy says handing up on the wall. He smiled as Julien balled up his fist and slamed it into his face. "Yea gain a few mucless ta."

"More den a few." He smiles and adds. "And I'm willin ta show yea."

"Merde, 'ust Gambits luck." Remy mutters as Julien puts on heavy brass knockles.

After a hour or so Julien leaves. Gambit looks around barely alive. He winces as he pulls himself up, but finds out he is hanging from a hook, his hands chained seperatly. He worked his way off the hook and laid for a few before he lightly charged the chains and was free.

The door opened. Belladonna walked in claping. "Took yea long enough Remy."

"Belladonna LEBEAU." He laughs as she makes a sour face. "Were yea keepin da girl? In a place like dis?"

"Non. A extra room in da house."

"Yea know what yea done, Belladonna? Corse not." He laughs and spits up blood as well as a back tooth.

"And what I done Remy, dats bad? Fer me dat is."

"Da girl. Yea know who she be?"

"Non, besides a whore fer yea."

"Non, she no whore ta Gambit Belladonna. Der no way she could be." he smiles as she looks intrested.

"What yea sayin Remy?" As if on cue a 'guard' ran in.

"Bella, dey girl did somethin ta Julien. He's out!" Bella looks over at Remy.

"Julien tuch'er skin wit his?" Remy asks the 'guard'. The 'guard' nodded. "Da fille be Rogue, she a mutiant. She also be one of da biggest mobsters in 'Nork's, ... Grandaughter." He smiles as Belladonna blinks half in shock. "And by now, da man done found out, 'e just found'er and Gambit be willin ta bet, dat da man yea left behind talked. Magneto has great ways ta get men ta talk."

"He was loyal ta me, he'd neva."

"Don't count on dat Belladonna."

"So yer sayin 'es comin?"

"Remy don't dank he could risk comin 'imself. But dey kids be comin."

"Kids?" Belladonna asks.

"Oui, his progéniture, Wanda and Pietro, dey twins too. And ders no way yea be knowin when dey 'ere."

"Why's that?"

"Dey mutiants ta."

-Rogue-

Rogue tried to move the boards on the window but couldn't. She sighed and sat down on the bed. The man, Julien, had been draged out and no one had entered since. She flipped mindlessly through his memories and found out that Belladonna wasn't lying. Her and Remy were married. She felt jelosuy rise in her but couldn't tell who it was from, herself or Julien. At the moment she really didn't care.

She remebered belladonna claimed they had camras and wondered if she could have escaped if there was a open door calling for her. Se looked around again but stayed in bed.

'Were's Remy? What are they doing to him?' She thought as she stared at the door. No one else bothered her for hours.

-Remy-

Remy sat on the ground whistiling. He looked right into the camra and smiled charging a pice of chain and throwing it at it, it hit dead on and blew up. He rolled his eyes as Julien came in pissed. "Yea need ta get laid ami."

"I'm not yer ami!" Julien growls kicking the cajun on the side of the head and sending him to the ground.

"Well yer not when yea be kickin Gambit 'round. Yea still upset bout Remy marrin Belladonna? Yer Grandaddy and my papa set dat up." Gambit smirks. "Do da wedin night-" Julien continued to hit and kick the laughing Gambit.

"Don't talk about my sister like dat!"

Remy spits up blood and smirks, "She be Gambit's wife. And I dank dis goes under spouse abuse." He laughs and Julien grins his teeth togeather.

"Yea should be dead." He spits on gambits face and leaves the room.

"Non, AMI, I won da fight. If yea hadn't challenged Gambit, den dangs be diffrent." Remy glares at the man.

-Wanda and Pietro-

"Are you sure you know were we are going?" Wanda asked as Pietro stoped for a break from running.

"Well yeah." He rolls his eyes.

"Making sure, you've already gotten lost twice."

"Have not! I just forgot were I was going. And these rode signs? Please, I could read Japaness better!"

"Whatever Pietro. Just ask for directions."

"No way."

"Then I will." Wanda goes over to a man. "Hey, how do you get to New Orlands?"

"It ony be 5 miles south of 'ere." The man points to the rode.

"Thanks so much." She goes over to Pietro who smirks.

"I told you I knew where I was going."

"Oh please."

"ready?"

"More then ready. We are not running back. I can not put up with you for this long again."

"It's been 20 minutes!"

"19.5 to long!" Pietro rolled his eyes and picked her up. In a flash they are gone.

-New Orlands: Rogue-

"So yer the grandaughter of Magneto?" Bella asked siting down in a chair beside Rogue's bed.

"Yeah." She shrugs.

"And yer a mutaint?"

"Nope, Ah just don't lahke ta be touched, ever, by anyone." She adds rolling her eyes.

"So dats why yea aint Remy's whore." She smirks.

"Ah wouldn't be if Ah could touch."

"Really? I doubt it."

"Yea shouldn't."

"Why?"

"Cause aint everyone a whore. And not everyone jumps'em when dey see 'em."

"What'd yea do?"

"Dumped diet sprite on'em." Rogue shrugs and Bella laughs.

"I believe I said, 'What's wrong with that boy? He got messed up eyes.'" Belladonna laughs. "Corse dat was years ago."

"Whats yer plan fer us?"

"Yea? I don't know. Ah dank I'm gonna knock yea out den send yea back ta Magneto."

"Wont do yea any good."

"How so?"

"Ah know the location of dis place. And Remy, and the camra, which I turned off before yea steped in ta the room. And, Ah seemed ta misplace mah gloves." Rogue laid a hand on Bella and they both dried out. Rogue then opened the door and ran out, she hide when the camra's turned to her and when people walked by. She made her way down to Remy, slowly.

-Wanda and Pietro-

"Can we get by?" Wanda whispered softly to Pietro.

"Peice of cake sis." Pietro laughs and picks her up running through as the door opens and a man takes out trash.

The man flicked his lighter but a suddent brease made it go out. He blinked and cursed the wind before trying again.

-Inside-

Rogue moved to open the door but jumped 10feet as pietro waved smiling and laughed. "Ah swear Ahm gonna kill you." She threatened hand over her heart and glaring at him.

"I know you love me." Pietro says and puts Wanda down. "So he's in there?"

"Yes." Rogue says opening the door.

"Mon Chere!" Remy laughs and tries to stand up but falls down. He coughs up blood. "Remy aint lookin so well he guess."

"Why didn't yea tell meh yea were married?" Rogue asks.

"Forgot?" He shakes his head. "No need. Der was no way remy get ta go home, and stay in one pice dat is."

"So you just ddn't tell meh? Remy, Ah trusted yea." Rogue growls and helps him up. "And when we get back, Ahm gonna kick the shit outof yea."

"Mon chere don't be speakin of bedtime pleasures."

"Idiot." Rogue grumbles.

Pietro pulls out a cell phone and calls Magneto. "Meet us at the air port." He says simple and the four start out. The halls were empty and Belladonna was still out.

"Leavin so soon?" A voice called as they stood outside.

"Julien, ami, sorry not ta tell yea sooner, but da welcoming's here, dey blow." Remy smiles and adds charging a rock. "But 'eres a tip." He slung it at him and all four watched as he fell back, more then likly dead.

"So lets go before more come." Wanda says as she hex's the door.

-Magneto's plane-

"Ah don't know if Ah can date yea Gambit." Rogue says talking to him as she helps him get cleaned up.
