CHAPTER THREE!

Yo'-" Gambit paused and swallowed. If any of the others had seen this, the implacable Gambit shocked. Well his reputation would go down the drain.

"Yo- you a mutan'?" Gambit finished the hard sentence. To think, his little cousin. The wildcat that plagued him for sweets and then later weapons.

"Oui, Ah didn' tink dat ah'd eva be a mutan' like yo'" Daphine swallowed and looked up at Remy, her eyes large and worried.

"Yo' tink dat ah chang' mah 'air fo' disguise Remy? Yo' kno' moi bette' den dat"

"Bu' chere, ah didn' tink dat yo' be mutan' eider" Gambit grinned. "Dis why' yo' came 'ere."

"Oui, Remy. Ah 'ear 'bout dis place. So ah com' t'see if ah can 'elp" Daphine grinned and then impulsively hugged her cousin and friend. Gambit looked shocked for a moment before casting his arms around her. Suddenly, their happy reunion was interuppted by a insistent knocking at Remy's door.

"Oy, mate. Who you got in there. Don't lie mate, I heard a sheila's voice" Gambit rolled his eyes as Pyro knocked on his door.

"I' noting J'ohn" Gambit called to the annoying aussie.

"Don't try it mate, I heard it and if you don't let me in. I'll burn the door down" Gambit shrugged to Daphine and moved to open the door. As soon as his hand turned the knob, Pyro rushed in to gawp at Gambit's new 'conquest'.

"Woah mate, this one's fine" Pyro said, staring at Daphine appreciatevly. Grinning he moved forward to touch her hair......

"Ah woul'n do dat mon amis" Thwak, Pyro lay face down on the carpet, groaning. "Ah did warn yo' J'onn"

"'e shoul'nt of done dat Remy" Daphine said, picking Pyro up by his collar and setting him leant against a wall. He groaned and blinked.

"Ah am no possesion chere" Daphine told Pyro, almost conversaionally. "Don' tink 'bout it"

"Believe me, I won't Sheila"

"Not Sheila mon amis" Gambit interceeded. "She ain' one of yo' normal' filles"

"Ah be Diamond" Gambit looked up at the mutant name and Daphine winked, Gambit rolled his eyes in return. His cousin had always had a flare for the dramatic. Runned in the family.

"Dat is definately a double edged Diamond" Gambit bantered to his cousin. As Pyro groaned once again and stood on his feet, if somewhat shakely a voice ringed through the mansion.

"GAMBIT, Come to the hall NOW" Gambit winced, looked like Magneto had discovered his cousin's presence.
