Due to poular demand, I managed to write Remy into it some how.

Don't laugh... It's a work in progress.

This is where The Romy is hinted at.

VERY IMPORTANT! Everyone thinks Rogue's powers are going to Manifest soon... We'll see...


''Gambit...'' a cold metallic voice droned through the sphere, ''come here...''

Remy sighed and put down the cards he was playing Piotr and John with, Revealing the five aces in his hands. As he left, he couldn't help laugh at John's outburst that, not only was there only four in a deck, but that he had two of his own, makinga total of...

Remy couldn't stay and listen to John's attempt at mental maths... The boss called. When the boss called, you went. End of story. John earnt that the hard way...

He entered Magneto's office, feeling the cold eyes on him instantly. He tried not to look back, instead pretending to be amaze at the little ball thingy on Magneto's desk. (You know... the ball hit's one side and the ball opposite flies up)
But it was impossible, he was drawn to Magneto'scold grey eyes, and began to wonder if Magnetism was his boss' only power...

'' Ya wan'ed to see me?''

Magneto surveyed him over tented fingers, his face set and solemn, looking straight into Remy's eyes. He looked away only briefly, to pull a file out from under his desk, and dropping it onto the table in front of him. He signalled with his hands for Gambit to open it and read.

Remy puled it towards him and flicked open the first sheet, revealing a picture,and statistics of a teenage girl, barely 16, looking content and happy.

''Mon Dieau!(1) That femme a mutant? She awfully pretty...'' noticing Magneto's scowl he turned the page, reading the notes of the girls's mutant powers. They had not yet manifested, but when they did she would have the power to...

'' Drain the life force of others through skin contact...''

Remy read the last bit aloud before flipping back to her picture.

'' This girl... She not gonna be able totouch anyone without hurting them?''

He looked at her face, and an instant sympathy took him. This girl, Marie, had no idea how close she was to a life not worth it...

Never to touch another human... Never to show how much you care... never able to touch the ones you love...

He shut the folder, looking up at Magneto.

''Well?'' Magneto asked coldly.

''Well what?''

''The assignment. You did read it?''

''...No''

Magneto sighed and rubbed his brow.

'' Would you like me to explain?''

''Yes...''

Magneto stood to his full height. Even without the cape and helmet, that was still impressive.

'' I want you, Gambit, to get as close to this girl as you can before her powers manifest... When they do, and she trusts you, bring her to me. We could use a power like hers on our side, before that medlesome Charles Xavier get's involved. Fortunately, we have a preview of her power, while Charles has to wait till they manifest to locate her...''

'' How do we know we got the right girl?''

Magneto grinned slyly, sending a chill down Remy's spine.

'' Let's just say, We've got ''Destiny'' on our side...''


'' Marie?''

Irene called up the stairs, to where Marie still slept.

She sighed and began climbing the stairs, knowing the house like the back of her hand.

''Marie?''

She called again, reaching her ''daughter's'' room and poking her head in. Seeing the girl stir, she prodded further.

'' Get up Marie, breakfast is out...''

Marie groaned, and rolled over to look at her bedside clock.

'' Why so early on a saturday?''

'' It's friday, child...''

With a little more complaining and an attempt at a stomach bug, Marie had eventually up and showered and was sitting down at breakfast, missing her mouth with the corn flakes she held on the spoon.

She spent about 10 minutes putting on her make up every morning, before pulling on green tights and a green sheer top, light and see through. She din't even like it. But Irene never let her leave the house without it.

She had to walk fairly quickly to school, having got up late, and complying slowly to Irene's demands. Her schoolbag was a little heavier today,carrying her PE clothes along with her usual books and stationary. She got to school fairly early, making her wonder how early she would get there if she walked this speed every morning.

After visiting her locker and depositing her books and bag,she took a reading book outside, and sat trying to focus on the book.

She didn't know how long she had been there, when she felt a shadow fall over her.

''Hey, D'ya mind? You're blocking ma... light...''

She was taken aback by the boy standing over her. He was only a few years older than her, yet he seemed a lot more mature, A goatee on his chin and sunglasses masking his eyes. To her he looked gorgeous.

'' Pardon mon femme, Remy was just wondering why such a fine girl as yourself be outside alone on such a nice morning...''

He smiled, and Marie felt herself blush. She tried to choke out a response,or perhaps a flat ''go away'' but nothing would come. He seemed to notice, and sat beside her, his eyes wandering down her body from behind the sunglasses.

He was trying to get her to smile. That sweet, care-fee smile he knew she was capable of, so he tried to put her at ease.

'' Remy be new here, and he would be honoured if you could help him.'' That seemed to work. Well, she stopped blushing at least.

'' S... Sure. How can A...Ah help?''

''Remy be unsure where all these rooms be...'' he pointed at a class list in his hand, ''and was wondering if you could show him before school starts...''

Marie glanced at the class list in his hand and gasped. They were all her classes. Even down to PE...

'' Thi...This is impossible...'' she stated to the stranger, '' you're so much older than meh... these are allmah classes...''

She glanced at him, seeing ifhe showed any sign of embarrasement. To her surprise, he simply shrugged.

'' That means Remy get's to spend more time with a bon fille such as yourself...''

Marie blushed again. This boy seemed to have the power to make her do that easily. She couldn't help it this time... She smiled. Immediatly she saw the boy's reaction and turned away. The way he had looked at her there... It had confused her. She took a second to calm down, then turned to face him again.

Remy seemed to know he had pushed her too far, and tried to think of a retreat route.

''Well mon cheré...''

'' D... Don't call me dear...''

''Well, you'll have to give Remy your name,won't you?''

Marie looked at him for a moment, before speaking.

'' M... Marie... Mah name is Marie...''

''Remy. Nice ta meet ya Marie''

He took her handin his and kissed the glove.

'' I'll see you in class, Marie...''

He pulled away, giving her one last grin before heading off towards the school building.

Marie sighed, looking down at her gloved hand where he had kissed her, and realised he had placed something in it. A playing card.

Turning it over, she discovered it to be, The Queen Of Hearts...
