Left Behind
Chapter 6: Hellfire Club
'''' ' ' ' ' ''"
Two days later.
"Found anything Chuck?" Logan asked after Charles Xavier wheeled out of the Cerebro Room in his wheel chair. Everyone gave him an anxious look.
"I'm sorry, Cerebro could not locate any of them." Charles replied with his head down. He wheeled out of the hall and into his office without saying another word.
Scott dropped his mouth. "Professor couldn't located them for the past two days." He was frustrated. "Betsy, you believe that this Frost woman has something to do with it. Tell us again what your relationship with her."
Betsy sighted. "My brother is Captain Britain. While modeling in London, I meet an Emma Frost, who invited me to a club call the Hellfire Club. I joined, only for a night, because this woman, a telepath (not Jean) threaten me to leave. She told me it's not my place, that I should leave, I'll only be the devils' bloody toys if I stayed. So I left and she went to talk to Brian. When he turned her offer down, she went ballistic and kidnapped him. She bloody brainwashed him and make him believe that he's a member of the club and is madly in love with her. She made him forget me, Jamie, and Meggan. He even went head-on with me when I tried to convince that we were related. But I manage to break him loose with the help of Meggan."
"Why do you hate Frost so much?" Scott asked, obviously knowing that's not the whole story.
Betsy lean against the wall, looking at her hand and then back to the team. "This, this bloody body, it isn't mine." Everyone look at her, somewhat confused. "It's the body of Kwannon. Frost made a bloody deal with a woman known as Spiral. Spiral was to switch my mind with Kwannon. Who sadly died from an unknown virus in my body. I don't know if that was Frost's doing or if it was faith. But I survived, in Kwannon's body."
"It's faith kid, and you survive, that's all it really matter. It wasn't yer fault." Logan acknowledge.
Betsy smiled, "I guess Rogue was right when she said you have a soft side..."
The room went quiet at the mention of Rogue. Who still haven't woke up.
"Now now, Roguey will wake up." Remy declare. "Jus' have faith."
"Ta many faith goin' on," Sam Guthrie said, obviously annoyed.
"Shut it cowboy." Kitty warned. "Betsy, please tell us more about the Hellfire Club."
"The Hellfire Club was merely a respectable, upper-class social organization principally devoted to giving spectacular parties, where members of social, economic, and political elite could meet unofficially to discuss matters of matural interest, and to forge political or business alliances.--"
"What does that have to do with our friends?" Bobby asked.
"I'm not finish." Betsy said coolly. "There's an upper class, a class in which they wanted my brother and I. It's not known to the rest of the club. This upper class is call the Inner Circle, whose subversive members engage in a conspiracy to dominate the world," everyone gasped, but Betsy ignored them and continued, "through the accumulation of economic power and political influence. Members of the Inner Circle hold positions named after chess pieces to denote their standing organization. The most powerful are King and Queen; below them are their Bishops, Rooks, and Pawns. Regardless of their ongoing power struggles, the goal of the Inner Circle remains clear and focused. Sebastian Shaw is their Black King and Emma Frost is their bloody White Queen."
"How do you know all this?" Scott suspiciously asked.
Betsy glared at him. "I was asked to join the damn club! After the telepath told me to leave, I did some bloody resources!"
"Calm it kid." Logan ordered. "We're on the same team. Remember that."
"Okay... how does Bishop, Jubilee, Angel, and Nightcrawler fit into the picture?" Scott asked, changing the subject.
"I know Frost took Angel so she can get her revenge on me." Betsy said then muttered, "as if switching my body wasn't enough."
"So that leaves Kurt, Jubilee, and Bishop..." Storm said. Everyone nodded their heads.
"So dis Shaw an' Frost wan' world domination?" Remy asked, already knowing what the answer would be. Betsy nodded. "Maybe dey have a machine dat would make de world dier an' dey need a mutant who can store energy int' dis machine in order f'r it t'work...?"
Everyone look at him as if he was crazy, then again, it fit into the picture perfectly. Bobby gave him a cold glare. "What about Jubilee and Kurt, French boy?"
Remy glare, but decide to let it go. "Somehow, Remy don' see Kurt in dis picture. But Jubilee, her power, she can generate explosive energy, is Remy right?"
Storm nodded and Logan spoke, "so, this machine is like the one that Magneto fail to use to turn all humans into mutants. Like Magneto needed Rogue to use his damn machine, these goodie to-shoes needed Jubilee and Bishop?"
"That makes a lot of sense." Scott concluded. Just then Professor wheeled out of his office.
"You all are right." He stated, everyone turn to look at him. "I got words that the Hellfire Club does have Jubilee, Angel and Bishop are indeed in the hand of the Hellfire Club. They're going to use this machine on the next full moon."
"Which is... two nights from now," Scott gasped.
"We can't let that happen!" Betsy exclaimed.
"Do yer know where this place is Charles?" Logan asked.
He nodded. "The Club is underground. In order for this machine to work, they must be aboveground. They'll be using this machine in Time Square."
Before anyone else could ask him how he knew all this, he wheeled back into his office again. And there was a lot of questions people wanted to ask him. Like how did he know all this. Then again, he is the most powerful telepath on Earth.
Scott, Storm and Wolverine stepped into a private office and think of a strategy.
" ' ' ' "
While everyone else went back to what they were going. Betsy and Remy went to check on Rogue. Who was in the care of Hank McCoy, or also known as Beast. "How's she doing doc?" Betsy asked.
"Same as always, I'm afraid." Beast answered.
"Is dere anydin' we can d' f'r de Rogue?" Remy took a seat next to Rogue's bed. Betsy was leaning against the door frame.
"For the first time in my life dear boy... I don't know..." Beast replied.
"Look like this clueless thing is contagious... first it was the Professor, now you!" Betsy said and it made Beast smile.
"Clueless isn't a sickness my dear, so it can't be pass on from one person to the-" Beast stated.
"Blady, blady, blady blah!" She finished.
"That's a good way to put it." Beast said. "I have to go check on another student, if anything happens, press the green button on top of Rogue's bed and I'll be here as fast as a jack rabbit."
Betsy move aside so the Beast can exit, then she walk toward Rogue and Remy. "You like her don't you?"
"How can yo' not?" Remy replied.
"She's a good friend, even if I only knew her for a couple of days." Betsy said. "But she's the one that I can live with. Do you feel the same luv?"
"Yo' talk t'much yo' kno' dat petite?" Remy point out. She just smile. "Oui, Remy d' feel de same. Somedin' 'bout her... get's dis heart beatin' again..."
"Aww, how sweet, you're in love." Betsy was smirking.
"Oui, since de nuit (night) Remy saw her... Wait, why am I tellin' yo' all dis?" He finally snapped out of his dreamland.
Betsy still smirking. "Maybe because you were daydreaming of Rogue and forgot who you were talking to... My brother, Brian, was the same."
"Mon dieu (My god), wha' is dis fille doin' t'moi? I never been like dis... ever!" Remy stated while picking up Rogue's glove-free hand. A second later, Remy could feel her skin draining his. He quickly release her hand.
"You alright luv?" Betsy asked. Remy nodded. It was silence. "I gotta go check things out with Kitty. See ya in a bit."
The room was now empty. Only he and an unconscious Rogue's body was left. Remy took two gloves that weren't cutted at the fingertips out of his trench coat and wore it. He took Rogue's hand again. "Yo' gon' wake up chere. F'r Remy." He kissed her on the lips for two seconds before he let go. "An' when yo' do, Remy'll be dere. So wake up soon petite, b'cause we may not have a t'morrow."
" ' ' ' "
Inside Rogue's Head
Rogue knees were clutching as she sat. She been here for two days and it felt as if she's been here for a lifetime. The scenery change again. She's not familiar with it, she know it's a city somewhere in the south. It's dark, she could feel the cold. Then out of no where, she saw a teenager wearing a trench coat. He was running and he's afraid. He look somewhat familiar. The trench coat. She seen it somewhere. But where? Then she saw his eyes, Remy.
"Remy..." Rogue whisper.
"Oui chere?" She sprung around to see Gambit. The present one, the one she knew, but how did he get in here.
"How did ya get in here?" She asked.
"Remy got in here b'cause he kiss yo' chere. An' it was indeed de best kiss Remy have ever gad." She blushed. "Yo' kno' river rat, yo' look cute when yo' blushed."
That made her blush even more. "Shut up Swamp Rat!"
"An' when yo' tryin' t'be angry, it turns Remy on." He grinned when he saw that she was as red as a cherry.
"Remy, shut up!" Rogue shout, getting frustrated.
"Yo' bein' angry chere." Remy wink. "Remy like."
Rogue growled. "Why are ya here anyway!"
"T'help yo' get out of here." Remy finally stopped the flirting.
"An' how are yah gon' do tha'?" She asked.
"We chere, we mus' work t'gether in order f'r yo' t'get out o' here." He stated, taking her bare hands with his. She was about to pull away, "don', yo' can' hurt Remy in here. De skin contact doesn' work in here."
"Ah wish it was the other way around." She mumbled.
"Look, Roguey, we'll fine ways t'touch, body an' soul." He whispered, loud enough so she could hear.
She look into his eyes, they were glowing with love. She suddenly felt a burst of emotional piling on top of her. She just wanted to fall into his arms and stayed there forever. "Remy, wha' if Ah don' wan'ed ta leave?"
"Yo' have t'chere. F'r Remy, if non 'im, den at least Wolvie." He smiled. "Dere are people out dere who want yo' t'wake up. Wolvie, Betts, Kitty an'..." their eyes locked, "Remy."
"But yah in here. Ah don't get it." Rogue look confuse, more confuse then the day her power manifested.
"I'm only a psyche. De real Remy is waiting f'r yo' t'wake up. He's sittin' by yo' bedside in de infirmary." He explained, "Remy promise he'll keep yo' safe. Jus' come bac' t' 'im."
"Okay," Rogue said, "how?"
"Close yo' eyes. Dink of de real world an' de amis (friends) yo' have dere. When yo' reopen yo' eyes, yo'll be bac' in de Institute, where Remy will b' dere t'greet yo'........." He answered, his arms around her waist. Hers' were around his neck. Her head against his chest
"Thanks Remy..." She whispered.
" ' ' ' "
Slowly, she opened her green eyes, meeting with a pair of reds. She swung her arms around his neck. "Welcome bac' chere."
"Thanks Remy." She whispered, "fer everythin'."
He moved the white streaks of her hair aside because it was blocking her eyes. There eyes lock again. Slowly, their faces move closer and closer to each other. That was until they heard the door swung open. They both turn around to face a furious and yet surprising Wolverine...
