A/N: For those of you who thought 'Femme Fatale' ended, I decided to continue it. Besides, I left a lot of loose ends. And that isn't good etiquette.

One

Marie D'ancanto. My real name... I loathed it. It tasted like something foreign. But the only person in this whole world I let call me Marie; was Remy. The T.V. was blaring while the reporter waffled on about some sort of 'Sentinel Initiative'.

"X-Men, please report to the viewing room immediately." Professor X pried us from the T.V.

Remy and I walked together, hands interlaced, one with white gloves, the other with black biker ones, with the fingers cut.

Bobby glared fiercely at Remy, he pretended to throw a card, without actually letting it go, and Bobby jumped.

I suppressed a laugh.

"You think we'll be okay sugah, with these 'Sentinels' prancing around shooting at us?"

"Yeah Marie, I t'hink we will be. 'sides, the pofessuh is trained fer' dis' kinda' t'hing."

I nodded as we entered, as we looked at the hologram gathering around the table, Remy and Bobby ended up sitting next to each other... Remy was trying to refrain from saying anything nasty, or just jumping on him. Logan watched them rather closely as the Professor began to speak.

"Now, my X-Men, as you know, a 'Sentinel Initiative' has been issued for the area."

Jubilee, whom was the newest member of the team next to Kitty and Remy, was playing with her ebony hair nervously. Her almond eyes watched the Professor, frightened more then anything...

"Now, this has occurred before, during our 'World Tour'.

(For reference, read 'Ultimate X-Men-The Tomorrow People-Hardcover Edition Vol. 1)

"Where we ultimately came across the many of you whom are with us today, everyone recognized each other with their eyes, including Remy, Kitty, Storm, Colossus, and myself.

"Now, this 'initiative' was issued for one of the following reasons-

An explosion close to 'Times Square' interrupted him, Jubilee jumped, almost falling out of her seat.

"Now, as we speak, many of our kind are being ruthlessly slain. I want you to go, and try to neutralize them, mind, be careful with your 'techniques'... One wrong move, and you could be blown into smithereens."

"We've got them down Professor." Said Scott authoritatively.

"Yeah, good boy Scottie's got it all covered." Mocked Logan.

"That's no way to talk to me," He said.

"Shut up frat boy or I'll kick you through yer'self."

"Gentleman, please," Said the professor looking at them with the: you're-supposed-to-be-setting-an-example, kind of look.

"What about who initiated it." Bobby reminded him.

"Ah yes, I was about to get to that. Now, I have reason to believe Magneto has a lot to with this."

"But Id'nt it massive suicide on his part?" Remy inquired arching his brow.

"Yes and no." He answered.

"Erik Lensherr is one of the most... interesting people I have ever known Mr. LeBeau..."

"Sorry t' say mon frere, but de guy is a nut job any way yo' put it."

I nodded.

"Like that time on Liberty Island." I shuddered.

"What' 'bout Liberty Island mon ami?"

I obviously hadn't mentioned it before, but the Professor waved it away with his hand.
