Chapter Twenty One: Remy's Powers

Jade: Yes, it is I, Jade! I have returned from the world of hiatus. Dodges mutant powers and bullets of angry readers. I have been receiving reviews recently and so I thought that it might be a good time to start writing again. I really do need to finish this fic and I thank you for being so patient. On with the story.

"Gambit come quickly!" Storm shouted as she poked her head into his bedroom.

"What is it Stormy? Remy havin some journal time an..."

"It's Rogue! Her powers, I mean your powers are out of control. "

Remy jumped off the bed and ran out of his bedroom, following the weather witch's lead. She quickly led him to the medical wing and stopped just infront of the door. The entire room was shimmering with an eerie pink light.

"Merde!" Remy ran in there and gasped as his clothing began to sizzle with kinetic energy.

"Rogue! Rogue, listen! Focus!" He shouted.

' I don't know if I can withdraw a charge dis massive.'

He promptly removed his gloves and placed his fingertips upon the cold tiled floor. Inch by inch the room slowly began to regain its natural coloration as the kinetic charge returned to its inanimate state. Unfortunately he only managed to correct half of the room. The rest he would have to rely on Rogue.

"Cherie, please listen to Remy, close your eyes and think about drawing the energy within you. " Remy's voice began to weaken as he fell knees first onto the ground in fatigue.

"You gotta do dis otherwise de whole house blow up."

(( hehe now for something evil....a cliff hanger. JK))

A few hours later...

Remy's eyes fluttered open, focusing upon a solid white ceiling.

"So you're awake?" A deep voice stated.

"God, dat you? Am I dead?" Remy questioned in wonder.

"Wait no I can' be dead, if I were I would probably be in hell for de sins I committed." He said half jokingly.

"No you're not dead but it was a close call, Rogue barely managed to take back the energy she released. You're body really took a beating by sucking up all of that energy."

"Who talkin to me?"

"It's Wolverine."

Remy nearly jumped out of his skin as he rolled over and fixed his eyes upon the savage man,

"Guess I don't have to worry about you kid." Wolverine said with a small smirk.

"What dat supposed to mean?" The Cajun countered.

"You've been approved."

"Pardon?"

"I approve of you so you don't have to worry about me ripping your throat out every time you come near Rogue." The Canadian then rose and began to exit the medical lab.

"Well thank you oh Mighty One." Gambit snorted as he rolled over and smiled to see Rogue resting in the next bed.

"I'll forget that last sarcastic remark." Wolverine taunted as he shut the door.

"Now dat he gone you can wake up Cherie." Remy cooed.

"How'd ya know?"

"I saw you smirk out of de corner of my eye, how do you feel?"

"Feel like I went though a ten hour training session on level 9 in tha danger room." She croaked.

"Well dat not good. Sorry I caused so much trouble for you. Never thought how dangerous it would be if someone else got hold of my powers." Remy uttered remorsefully.

"It's ok Cajun, nobody's mad at ya Sugah."

"You're eyes back to normal again so we don' have to worry about you blowin' up anything." A small hearty laugh escaped him then caused him to cringe. He also felt like he had been through the same session.

"How did you deal with it?" Rogue asked suddenly.

"Deal wit wha Cherie?"

"You're powers, when you first got them..."

"It was very scary Cherie." Remy admitted.

"When did they appear?"

"When I was 9." Remy responded.

"My eyes were always this way since birth but de powers really kicked in when I was nine....I accidentally blew up my bed when I had a nightmare."

Rogue giggled softly causing a smile to form on the Cajun's face.

"My papa and my aun' were mad de next morning because I couldn't tell dem where my bed was. At breakfast I blew up my breakfast bowl and cereal went everywhere. I got grounded. Eventually after things began to mysteriously disappear or explode my family decided to check out what was wrong with me. That was the first contact I had with the professor. At de time I didn' want to join de school so he offered some control sessions and den sent me back wit my papa. Everything was dandy till bout three years ago. "

"What happened?" Rogue asked.

"De powers got stronger and my control wen' out de window. Started wearing gloves and several layers of clothing because I would accidentally blow dem up from time to time. Merde that was embarrassing when that happened in school."

"You were NAKED?!" Rogue shouted in shock.

"Didn't mean to I spaced off in french class and boom dere went de clothes..."

"Quite a party trick..." Rogue muttered

"Maybe Remy show you it sometime." His voice was low and seductive.

"Maybe."

"Anyway, after Remy blew things up by accident and did enough property damage to fill three police files Remy decided to come here for some help. And den Remy fell in love wit you." Remy smiled.

Rogue blushed slightly at the ending of his story. "Love ya too Sugah. Didn't know you didn't have total control. Kinda makes me feel better since we're in tha same boat."

"Me too Cherie, now get some rest."

"K Sugah, gonna dream about you blowing up your clothes..."

"Remy definitely be sure to show that sometime."

"Lookin' forward to it."

Jade: Review! Please review! Dodges reader bullets I told you I was sorry for being away! Hehe Remy blowing up his clothes drools
