Surveying the data he had in his hands, Sinister glanced at a screen to his right and smiled as he saw the X-men running through the tunnels. Turning Sinister though for a moment and made his way to Creed's replacement, Sinister chuckled, Remy was sound asleep. Shaking him gently Remy's black eyes snapped open.
"Come Remington..." Remy slowly sat up. "Time to test out your powers..." Sinister smiled evilly and walked across the room, Remy quickly followed his master like a lost puppy and put on his hooded coat, as he led them through a passageway outside to a nearby forest.
Rogue, Kurt, Hank and The Professor as well as Jean-Luc and Henri landed the jet within a clearing, "He's nearby Hank..." Charles informed them as he wheeled out of the jet, Rogue and Kurt by his side.
"The others?" Hank asked as he surveyed the trees.
Charles closed his eyes and concentrated on Jean...Jean
Slashing down the metal door, Logan growled as he rushed inside, only to find the labs empty...
"That big prick lied to us..." Bobby hissed.
"Like hello it's Sabertooth...of course he lied to us..." Kitty rolled her eyes.
"Shut-up...No he didn't the kid's been here, probably just left..." Logan mused.
"Where I don't see any other door..." Jean asked.
"There..." Scott cut her off pointing at a door within the wall to their left that was opened a crack. As they went through Jean froze.
Professor?
Jean, come to the surface with the others, Remy is near our position...
Where on our way...
"What is it?" Storm asked.
"The Professor said that Remy's near his position on the surface..."
"I see light up ahead..." Logan grunted as they all ran toward it and crept out of the opening.
Surrounded by trees they walked for a few minutes. "There's the jet..." Bobby yelled out.
"Bobby keep quiet..." Jean scolded.
"Sorry..." he mumbled.
Sinister chuckled as he watched the X-men regroup and converse with their Professor.
Remy looked around at the trees and unconsciously took out a deck of cards and started shuffling them, hearing the noise Sinister quickly turned to Remy. "Put those away..." he ordered. Remy looked at him confused then tilted his head. "The cards..." Sinister specified.
Remy looked around then noticed the cards in his hands a look of 'How did those get there?' was plastered on his face.
'May need a bigger dose of the serum...' Sinister thought to himself as he watched Remy put away his cards. 'It hasn't wiped out his mind entirely yet...' Sinister frowned. "Remington...come here..." Remy approached his master, "That group of people over there are your enemies..." Sinister looked at the boy who now seemed angered. Sinister smiled as he leaned down to Remy's ear, "Destroy them..." he ordered, Remy grinned put on his hood and walked out to the clearing.
"Sinister's with him I can smell his stench..." Logan growled.
"Remy?" Rogue whispered, confused Scott looked at her. "REMY..." she called out and took a few steps but Logan stopped her.
"Hold it darlin...this don't look right..." Logan warned.
Hank held back Jean-Luc and Henri as they watched Remy approach.
Scott walked over to the youngest LeBeau cautiously... "Remy...are you all right?" he asked Remy stopped, taking a step back then grinned Logan concentrated on his movements, then gasped.
"CYKE...MOVE..." Scott didn't have the time as Remy leapt in the air and spin kicked hitting Scott in the head, landing hard on the ground, Scott coughed out as he tried to get up, Remy crouched low and watched as the redhead with the shades groaned, grinning Remy took out a card and watched the horror on Scott's face as the card glowed a deep red, letting it slip through his fingers Remy backflipped and somersaulted a few times to get clear of the blast.
Scott rolled and scurried away as fast as he could, the blast threw him a few feet forward, he could feel the intense heat as it scalded the back of his neck.Glancing back, Scott gasped as he spotted the huge crater behind him.
The X-men immediately took action and ran after the boy to try and subdue him, Remy took out his Bo staff, and stared anxiously at his prey as they approached. Twirling his staff Remy slammed it against Bobby's head, crashing to the ground Bobby was out cold, then lifted it above his head as Kurt teleported above him, grabbing the front of the blue elf's uniform Remy threw him at Rogue, then walked over to Kitty and grabbed her arm Kitty tried to phase but quickly found that she couldn't, Remy kicked her in the stomach and watched as she fell to the ground gasping for breath then looked to Jean, Jean using her powers quickly picked up a few rocks and launched them at Remy who dodged them with no problem. Concentrating on the redhead Jean yelled out in pain as she grabbed her head, sensing someone behind him Remy held his staff lightly with both hands, turned and lifted the staff above his head blocking the Wolverine's claws. "Ya gotta wake up pup we ain't your enemies, Sinister's just using ya..." Remy smirked and kicked Logan in the gut, stepping back Logan looked up and saw three glowing cards floating to the ground, Remy was nowhere in sight as they blew Logan was launched six feet in the air and landed on the ground with a dull thud.
Storm looked on horrified as she helped Rogue up, "He's too fast..."
Xavier came forward and concentrated on Remy, Remy... Remy stopped and looked around, Why are you fighting us...we did you no harm... Remy growled.
#Don't listen to him my boy, he is just trying to confuse you...destroy your enemies...# his master interrupted.
Remy turned to the X-men when he spotted Scott on his knees, walking over Remy kicked him in the ribs, Scott grunted and rolled, quickly standing up and stepping back, Rogue ran to his side to give him time to recover. As the others slowly regained consciousness they kept attacking Remy.
The other voice...your master...he is only using you... Xavier thought on but Remy only pushed him away.
"It's no use Xavier the boy is under my control..." Sinister laughed.
Jean-Luc... Xavier called out.
"What?"
Give me a thought of you and Remy...It might be easier to reach him...
Jean-Luc thought hard of a happy thought and grinned as one popped up, it was when Remy was about nine years old, deciding to take a day off of work from Guild business Jean-Luc had taken Remy and Lapin to the beach. Running, swimming and screaming their heads off all day. Now standing in waist deep water Jean-Luc would snatch up Remy or Lapin and throw them in the water, after a few minutes the boy's had decided to do a little mischief and so they pounced on him dunking him in the water Jean-Luc chased after them snatching them both by the waist, Jean-Luc laughed as he sat them down on their blanket and started to dry them off with a towel, on their way home Lapin had fallen asleep in the back while Remy had scooted over to his father's side and clutched Jean-Luc's arm resting his head on it Remy was fast asleep.
Xavier sent the thought to Remy who growled as other past memories would begin to surface as he fought the battered and bruised X-team. With Sinister's orders, Xavier's pleadings and now visions of two boys playing plagueing his thoughts. Breathing heavily Remy was now totally confused grabbing his head he then leaned back, his hood falling off his head he looked to the X-men, glaring at them they all cried out as they all felt a tremendous amount of pain flow through their minds.
Amazingly Sinister could feel the power as it coursed through him as well taking a breath Sinister fell to his knees, "No...He's losing control...he's become too powerful..." he hissed as he opened a tesseract and left the grounds.
Cringing Remy still grasping his head, seemed to be in a lot of pain, slowly walking and stumbling over to Logan who was rubbing the back of his head Logan could hear the sound of trees crashing to the ground. He held his breath at what he saw every time Remy took a step it left a burn mark in the grass. "Oh shit..."
"REMY..." Jean-Luc shouted.
Remy froze when he heard Jean-Luc's voice "...Papa?" he whispered, then hissed as pain filled his head. As the pain left the X-men, Logan saw Remy's eyes glow for a split second out of recognition. As he was distracted seeing the chance Hank stood and grabbed Remy from behind and pulled the young thief close to his body in a bear hug Remy cried out...
As he tried to break free by kicking and screaming the nearby trees were uprooted from the ground and rocks levitated or were pushed aside, "What da hell's going on?" Jean-Luc yelled out.
"Remy can't control the tremendous amount of power, his shields have weakened...Jean, I need your help..." Xavier called out. Jean rushed over to the Professor concentrating their power on Remy they tried to reinforce his shields but it was useless as they kept getting pushed out of Remy's mind.
"It's no use we can't get close to him..." Jean cried, as she watched Logan and Hank as they pinned Remy to the ground.
"Professor can't I take some of the power off him?" Rogue asked quickly.
"No it might kill you..."
"We have to do something..." Scott growled out as he rubbed at his ribs, shooting at a few flying rocks that were headed for them.
Chuck...he might calm down a little if his pops is with him, he recognized the voice when he yelled out. Logan grunted as he sat on Remy's chest and pinned his arms at the side of the boy's head with his claws, while Hank held on to his legs.
Xavier turned to a worried Jean-Luc. "Go to your son..." he simply said. Not needed to be told twice Jean-Luc hurried to the three men. Kneeling down next to Logan, Jean-Luc cringed at the fear on his son's face.
"Remy..." he called out softly Remy kept taking deep breaths, "Remy...come on look at me petite..." Remy frowned.
"...papa?" he whispered.
"That's right, calm down...you're safe...now stop strugglin ya gonna hurt yo'self..." Remy quickly stopped fighting back. Jean-Luc ran his hand in the boy's hair, and motioned for Logan and Hank to back off. As the three sat down to take a breath, A confused Remy slowly looked around and started to shiver violently, Jean-Luc looked to Hank.
"It's the drug...we need to get him back to the mansion..." Hank answered.
Kurt teleported both father and son on the jet, while Henri helped the injured onboard.
