The Joker And The Queen
Finding
Beast took the professor's temperature. Sure he was glad to have the professor back, but every time Beast walked into the room the professor would tell him something of the future. It was really starting to annoy him.
At first Beast tried to talk to him and get him to stop talking of the future, but he did not. Charles was still in his med bed and was always laid down just saying what would happen in the future. He also told Beast that love would come to the institute unexpected.
Beast was so tired looking after the future maniac. He felt like he was going to throw the old man across the room he was that fed up.
"Hello Charles isn't it a wonderful day?" said Beast as he walked in the med room and opened the curtains. "The X Men are coming back today my friend, they'll be happy to see you."
"No they won't, they won't even bother to see Me." said Charles. Beast walked up to the man Beast lately had been acting the professor like a baby.
"Aw, now that's not true, you're their professor, the one that taught them everything." reassured Beast.
"Beast, there is going to be a lot of love today, I can sense It." told Charles. Beast sighed. No matter what he tried the professor wouldn't stop being all…futuristic.
"Professor, do you remember Muir island?" asked Beast. The professor looked up.
"No not as I can recall, but I'm not the professor so how would I know?" said Xavier.
"…Yeah…right, anyway. Charles, Muir Island is an island of mutants you might say. You have an X wife who lives there, remember? She can help you with this problem." explained Beast. Xavier laughed.
"Problem, what problem?" Beast growled he was fed up of this. "Beast…something…something I happening to me…I…ahhh!" Charles started to tremble. Beast ran to his side almost immediately.
"Charles, hold on. Carm down, you're blood pressures gone up. Charles, please, you must carm down!" said Beast holding the man down. Charles stopped trembling and opened his eyes. He looked at Beast.
"B…Beast?" he asked unsure where he was.
"Professor?" Beast was also unsure if this was the professor or the future Xavier.
"It's Charles, what happened?"
"You don't remember?" asked beast.
"…Wait, I remember Emma Frost, yes Emma. She went inside my mind for UN known reasons and blacked me out. I remember waking up but it wasn't me…oh my, Hank. The things I have seen, the things I know in the future what I will do, what my X Men will do, what the world shall do!" shouted the professor.
"Charles, what did you see?"
"I…I saw Scott and Jean get married, but being captured by something Sinister. I saw Scott meet his father, only to nearly die…it is unknown to me if he lived or not. I saw Wolverine fight against Sabertooth for his life and others. Wolverine went to X shield…weapon X or something, and he fights with them only to get hurt. I saw Storm being captured by something, like a spirit and turned to a…well a child. Her memory wiped from her. I saw Rogue…dear Rogue becoming possessed by evil, not even the X Men could stop. I saw her life being taken away from her, but she could no longer stand for the pain she was going through. I saw you Beast, I saw you meeting your…family per say. I saw Gambit fight against his past, only for his true love, the one that he didn't want to find out his darkest secret the most, the one he truly held close to his heart and would die for, to find out what the had done. I saw the future of the X Men, I saw death I saw happiness…the X Men would one day fight the greatest being alive, and most of them would die…" explained the Professor, tears nearly down his eyes.
"Charles…we must…"
"WE'RE HOME!" shouted Kitty.
"Do not fear Beast," said Charles, "they will not know what I have just told you." Beast smiled and the Kitty came in.
"Like professor you finally awake!" screamed Kitty as she ran to hug him.
"Yes my dear Kitty, but not as energetic as you I regret to say." Kitty laughed and Rogue came in and dropped her bags.
"Oh professor!" Rogue ran to him and hugged him. The professor smiled but looked sad for her when he hugged her. "Professor, the reason why we went t' Japan was 'coz ah had power serge."
"I KNOW Rogue, Beast explained to me when I wasn't feeling…myself." said Charles as he looked to Beast.
The rest of the X Men came in and gave him a warm hug. Gambit finally came in and saw the family together. Maybe ah should join. Remy looked to Rogue, it would mainly b' fo' 'er. Charles looked over to Remy and so did everyone else.
"Remember I can read thoughts luv." said Betsy as she looked at Gambit to the professor. The professor nodded and looked to Remy.
"I think you will make a fine addition to the X Men Gambit." said Charles. Kitty and Rogue screamed with delight and Rogue ran up to Gambit and hugged him. He took advantage of that and held her tight to.
"Welcome t' the X Men sugah."

Rogue sat looking outside. The rooftop had always been her comfort, the place to get away. She had always had a reason to be left alone, her powers. But now she was happy, she had Remy, Logan and her family. But Rogue couldn't help but to think that her life wasn't going to be like that forever.
She loved being alone, she loved being able to sit down and look at the stars quietly. Know one could ever take her peace away from her. She thought that it would be nice to share her rooftop with someone, her alone time. She used to think that was bobby, and now she new it was for herself.
"Well, well, well, what's a beautiful chere lyke you doin' up 'ere all on ya own?" asked Remy sarcastically as he sat down next to her. She glanced up to see him and he was wearing an X Man uniform. It was black…totally black, with a yellow belt from his shoulder to his belt what was around his waist. He wore yellow gloves and shoes. He looked like a new addition. She smiled at him, but it was a weak smile. His smile faded and he turned to her and looked in her eyes. "Cherie…what's wrong?"
"…Nothin' swamp rat." said Rogue putting on a fake smile. Remy stile had a serious face. He took her hand in his and with his other hand he gently rubbed it.
"Like ah'm gonna believe dat…what's wrong Rogue?" asked Remy.
"Ya called moi Rogue…fo' once." Rogue said smiling. He smiled and then turned to serious. Rogue sighed, "ah jus'…ah feel so alone. Ah know ah've got you sugah, its jus' ah feel alone in the world. Ah look up at a star and ah see it shining bright. It can never b' touched…only admired from a distance and that's lyke moi." Rogue put her head down.
"And lyke a star, yo' beautiful." said Remy. "And yaw not alone. Stars hav' millions of stars next t' it…dats da same wit' you cherie, you're not alone. Ya go moi, ya got de X men and yaw will always hav' us." Rogue felt a tear down her cheek. Her head was lifted up by Remy's finger to face him. "I will never leave you're side no matter what." Rogue hugged him.
"Ah'm so lucky ah found ya." said Rogue crying into him. He played with her hair and rested his chin on her head.
"Da same 'ere chere." Remy couldn't believe how lucky he was. He'd fallen for a girl and he actually got her. He wouldn't let go of that no matter what.

The morning
The morning in the mansion was the worst. Everyone was all over the place rushing to get into their classes on time. It was so crowded. Luckily each age group had their common room to have dinner and eat and all that.
Remy's eyes widened as he saw all the people. It was like a…school. Well it was a school but at a house. Storm came up behind Remy.
"You'll get used to it soon enough Remy, it just takes time." she said. Remy didn't look at the woman as his eyes were still on the crowds of students and how many there were.
"Remy b' tinkin' dat da professor is a very rich man." Storm laughed.
"Yes but he does it for the students. This was his dream, to help mutants like him. But in the years he has found it harder. Especially with Scott Summers and Rogue. None of them can control their powers yet." Remy turned to face Ororo.
"Well, don' worry, soon mah cherie will learn how t' control 'er powers." assured Gambit. Storm looked puzzled and raised an eyebrow.
"You're cherie?" asked Ororo unsure what the Cajun was talking about. Gambit smiled.
"Didn' ya hear, me and Rogue are together now." Ororo wasn't sure what to make of this. She knew they had a connection, but she never thought that a man like Remy would settle down. She was worried about if he would leave her. He saw the look on Storm's face. He smiled again. "Don' worry stormy, 'f ya didn' know moi and Rogue are quite close t' one another. We hav' defiantly fallen fo' each other. Well I have I hope she has fo' me." Remy said a bit unsure how Rogue felt about him himself. Ororo smiled.
"Well I'm sure if she has enough faith to go out with you even though she can't touch…then she feels the same way." Remy smiled. He walked into the kitchen and tried to get to the fridge. Most of the students we're looking at him. Perhaps because of his eyes but Rogue had made him feel more self confident about them.
"Hey dude, ah'm Sam." said Sam as he held out his hand.
"Ah'm Remy LeBeau. Well, another southerner, it's nice t' meet ya." said Gambit.
"Another Southerner? Ya mean ya already met Rogue?" said Sam.
"Yeah course ah hav'…she's mah belle fillie." Sam looked puzzled.
"K dude, ah don' know what that means." Remy smiled. He didn't know if this was Rogue's friend or someone who avoided her because of her powers.
"It means beautiful gal, and what ah mean is, is that we're t'gether." said Remy smiling. What ever Sam's reactions would be would tell Remy if he was friend or foe.
"Cool, she deserves t' b' with someone. She's been down for the past year. She's a great gal." Remy smiled at him. Defiantly a friend.
"Ya got a crush on da southern bell?" asked Remy a bit offended by his speech.
"Oh…oh no, no, no…ya got me all wrong there. Rogue was the one who brought moi t' the mansion in the first place. Mah family we're gonna b' sued for the destruction on this mine, ah couldn't leave mah family so we moved away. But Rogue visited me sometimes and then ah decided ah should come t' the mansion." Sam explained smiling.
"Well, ya know a mutants past is always one fo' dramatic." joked Remy. He turned to the fridge and two girls we're in front of him.
"Hi I'm Sarah and this is Hannah." Sarah looked like another Kitty from the way she spoke and Hannah looked like Wolverine. Hannah had the look of 'get me away from this girl!' Remy smiled.
"G' mornin' peitis. I'm Remy LeBeau" said Remy politely. They looked around 16. Sarah giggled at his accent while Hannah snorted. "Are ya related t' Wolverine at all?"
"Huh…oh yeah kind of. I'm his clone." Remy raised an eyebrow.
"Ya don' look much lyke 'im petit." Hannah looked at him and growled.
"My real name aint Hannah either…it's X23!" shouted Hannah.
"Don't mind her she's just feeling a bit down today." said Sarah nudging the beast. "So I couldn't help but here that you're with Rogue?"
"Yep, moi and Rogue." said Remy prodly once again.
"Well I'm glad Rogue has finally able to realise that she doesn't have to have alife without love. She's a great girl so please look after her." Remy smiled. And Kitty told him that most people avoided Rogue, yet she seemed to have plenty of people that cared about her.
"Sure ting petit, Remy couldn't live 'f he hurt his chere." he reassured the jumpy girl She smiled and dragged Hannah away from him. Remy wondered how Hannah would hang around with someone so opposite to her. Sarah and Hannah must have their own story. Perhaps they had a big story of their own.
Remy grabbed some milk and tried to find a glass but there was no site of one in any of the cupboards. It was hard enough since there was literally 1000 people in the kitchen.
"Here let me help you." said Jubilee. She handed him a glass and he looked at the young girl.
"Tanks cherie, it's lyke dawn of da dead in 'ere." Jubilee laughed.
"Wait another week and you'll be used to it. Anyway you're in the wrong kitchen. This Is the 16 to 19s kitchen. And I'm just gonna guess that you're not that age." Remy went red, how was he 'spose to know though?
"'Em tanks petiti, I guess people are gonna tink I've gone now. D'ya know where da kitchen is?" asked Remy.
"You've stayed here for at least 3 months and you don't know where the kitchen is?" asked Jubilee.
"Well Remy didn' spend most of his time in da kitchen cheire." Jubilee shrugged and showed him the 20 onwards kitchen. Inside were Rogue, Logan, Jean and Kitty.
"Well it looks like the newest member got himself lost." said Jubilee as she entered the kitchen. Jubilee was only 18 but she was training to be an X Man unlike most of the students at the school. Infact it was only Kitty and her that we're training.
"Hiya stranger." said Rogue as Remy walked up to her with a huge smile on her face She had a cup of hot chocolate in her hands.
"'ello mah belle fillie. I missed ya last night." Remy said as he hugged her. Logan growled.
"Leave them be Logan!" shouted jean. "Jubilee, you're going to have to go back to you're kitchen hun." Jubilee frowned.
"Oh come on Jean, I only wanted to talk to you lot. After all I am training to be an X Man. Or an X Lady…I don't even know what you call them myself but please." begged Jubilee.
"Okay it is only a kitchen." said Jean. "So you asked me about Sammy this morning Jubilee."
"Oh yeah how is she, I know she's still in bed but I wasn't sure on her progress."
"Well she's still recovering on what ever happened in Falco's mind." said Jean as she looked to Gambit who had Rogue in his arms but was looking at Jean and Jubilee's convosation. "plus she is young so the mind blast was extra for her, but she'll wake up soon Jubilee don't worry." Jubilee smiled and looked over to Logan.
"Hey Logan!" said Jubilee as she gave the man a hug.
"Hey kid." he had a soft spot for the kid.
Remy looked at Rogue. She smiled.
"Logan is always lyke that with Jubes. Jubes loves 'im t' bits but Logan is a grown man…but ya know what ah think he has a soft spot fo' 'er." said Rogue to Remy as he watched Logan and Jubilee talk.
"What like he has fo' you?" asked Remy worriedly.
"No…ah'm more of a daughter t' 'im. Jubes is…is more t' 'im in a different way..." said Rogue. She turned to the man who's arms she was in. " Are ya okay sugah?"
"Yeah…it's jus' now I got ya, I'm scared o' loosin' ya. Ya da first woman I've felt dis way 'bout and I don' wanna loose dat." Rogue smiled. In a way she was glad to know he was cocerend.
"Don' worry sugah, ah'm 'ere with ya t' the day ah die." said Rogue (1).
"Good, coz without you, I donno what I'd do." confirmed Remy
