Dressed in his armor and thieving attire Remy grabbed his wife for a quick kiss, and ruffled Hunter's hair then sprinted over to the mansion and all the way down to the danger room were Logan was waiting for him.
"You want a warm up pup before Chuck and Hank get here?" Logan asked with a grin.
Remy smiled and handed him a disk, as Logan made his way to the observation deck he put in the music disk and turned on a training program when he saw Remy enter the danger room. Shrugging off his coat Remy waited for the dance music to start and stepping to the beat Remy stretched and flipped around twisting his body in almost impossible moves to avoid the lasers.
Scott entered the observation deck and leaned against the console to watch Gambit as he went through his exercise with his eyes closed. "He's improved." Scott smirked.
"Yeah, I'd say by a lot." Logan watched as Remy ran up to a wall placing three steps on the wall, Remy then back flipped and vaulted himself onto a platform landing gracefully on his feet. Hank and Charles entered the room stopping next to Logan and watched Remy's movements carefully.
After about twenty minutes, the music was turned off Remy looked up as he put on his coat. "Ya ready Gumbo?" Remy nodded, "This is just gonna be a normal fighting program, anyone particular ya wanna be fighting?" Logan chuckled as Remy flipped him off.
The scenery changed from the metallic walls to a forest, with a waterfall. Remy opened up his senses and looked around, sensing movement Remy quickly turned and found himself face to face with Magneto, Pyro, Quicksilver, Avalanche, Toad and the Blob. Sighing Remy took out his cards and started to shuffle them. 'Well now dis be interestin'.' Remy mused. As Pyro sent a trail of flames toward the Cajun. Remy side flipped and crouching low to the ground pocketed his cards and took out his Bo staff, extending it, he quickly tripped Quicksilver who now crashed into the side of a hill, running to the Blob, he vaulted over the rather large man as Pyro's flames followed the Cajun scalding the Blobs skin. Toad leapt at Remy trying to pin him to the ground, extending his tongue to grasp the Cajun's arm he missed, Remy turned and grabbed the rather slimy tongue, and pulled forcing Toad to leap forward, Toad crashed into the Blob who still dazed by the flames fell backward and landed on top of him. Taking out three cards Remy charged them and sent them flying towards Quicksilver who evaded the cards but wasn't watching were he was going and plowed into Avalanche who in turn made the ground shake out of frustration as they both landed in the water with a huge splash. Leaping onto a boulder, Remy eyed his last two opponents, Pyro and Magneto.
Smirking Remy slowly made his way to them, when suddenly the program just shut off and the room was bathed in pure white. Remy yelled out as he closed his eyes and covered them with his hands, after a few moments Remy slowly opened his eyes and found himself in the snow, feeling the cold Remy shivered as he looked around recognizing where he was, "What da..." looking up Remy then growled. "If dis supposed ta be a fucken joke, I ain't laughing..."
"Well he hasn't slowed down I can tell ya that...especially after what he went through three months ago." Logan was extremely impressed.
"Yeah I doubt he finds this too challenging." Scott chuckled.
"Only two opponents left, it didn't take him long to subdue the others." Hank looked on. When all of a sudden the program shut-off.
"What happened?" Scott stood straight looking at the controls.
"I don't know?" Logan tried to find the problem.
"Oh dear..." Hank gasped as he saw what the program was.
"Shut it down..." Charles ordered.
"I'm trying..." Logan growled.
"If dis supposed ta be a fucken joke, I ain't laughing..." they heard Remy yell out.
"The controls aren't responding..." Scott growled out.
"Charles is Kurt or Kitty in the mansion?" Hank asked quickly.
Charles concentrated on his two students and called for Kurt telepathically; appearing beside them Kurt huffed as Xavier had just woken him up.
Remy was now on his knees shivering violently from the intense cold he felt. Now extremely pissed off, Remy charged the whole pack of cards, the cards glowed a bright red as Remy then threw half in the air setting off a huge explosion that rocked the mansion, throwing it's occupants violently to the ground.
"Quickly Kurt get Remy out of the Danger room..." Looking down Kurt's eyes grew wide at the sight, as the smoke dissipated.
Remy had now let the other half of his charged cards fall to the ground where he then ran as fast as he could away from the burning cards. The blast was just as violent as the first, as it blew a hole the size of an Olympic swimming pool in the floor.
As Remy slowly made his way to the hole, Kurt teleported next to him and gasped, as Remy turned, his eyes burning with hate...then the snow disappeared, as the program shut down and the danger room returned to its normal state.
Logan, Scott and Hank ran down rushing into the danger room. "Shit are you all right pup?" Logan stopped as Remy walked past Logan and Hank.
"Remy
we have no idea what just happened, the controls just stopped
responding, that program wasn't supposed to run, we don't even know how
it got in there"
Scott tried to explain as he stood at the entrance in Remy's way.
Remy glared at Scott his eyes still ablaze. "M-O-V-E..." he ground out.
"Remy please you have to listen..." Scott tried to reason.
"Wrong answer..." Remy shoved Scott to the ground and walked out of the door walking passed the Professor, Charles gasped as he felt and heard one of Remy's thoughts. Before he could say a word Remy was gone.
"Professor...we..." Scott spoke up as he quickly stood.
"He feels betrayed...find out who put that program in the computer," Scott nodded, Charles then looked to Logan. "Stop him...I don't want him leaving the mansion while he's in this state." Running out of the room, Logan hurried to try and catch up to Remy.
Remy was furious as he made his way outside, nearly taking the doors off it's hinges, it was now raining outside Remy walked in the direction of the woods, then dropped to his knees as all the memories of Antarctica flooded his mind, trembling Remy tried desperately to calm himself, his hands were burning as he grabbed his head Remy grimaced as his head felt like it was about to explode.
"Abababababababa..." Remy's eyes snapped open, as he took a breath.
"Rem...you okay?" Elena asked as she kneeled down in front of him, Hunter was hidden underneath her raincoat nice and warm, peeking through an opening.
Remy's eyes then rolled in the back of his head as he passed out. Logan ran out of the mansion, "REMY!" he heard someone cry out and rushed over to the fallen Cajun.
Remy woke up two days later and found himself in med-lab, quickly sitting up he looked around, and started ripping out the wires that were stuck to his chest to monitor his vitals, Hearing a long steady beep Hank quickly made his way to Remy's room, "Remy calm down...you're all right please..." Hank pleaded.
Jumping out of bed, Remy quickly dodged the blue doctor's arms as they tried to grab hold of him, grabbing a tray full of instruments; Remy charged it and looked at Hank. Hank slumped his shoulders in defeat and raised his arms, Remy eyed the doctor as he backed away from him, the door swooshed open and taking the charge back within his body Remy dropped the tray and left med-lab.
Exiting the elevator Remy walked down the hall his face showing no emotion.
Bobby and Scott as well as several other X-men were in the rec room when Bobby spotted Remy as he walked past the room, clad only in surgical scrub like clothing. "What the hell?" Bobby sputtered as he made his way to Remy the others following.
"Remy?" Jean called out, Piotr rushed passed Bobby and grabbed the Cajun's arm, Remy taking this simple act as a threat, turned and slammed his fist in the Russian's chest but before Remy had turned, Piotr sensed something wrong and turned into his metallic form. Piotr fell to the ground releasing Remy from his grasp, and winced as he turned back to his human form, "Piotr?" Jean kneeled beside him, Piotr looked at her then lifted his shirt, the X-men all gasped at the bruise that was quickly forming on the gentle man's chest.
Remy then froze as he heard the Professor speak to him telepathically. Remy please calm yourself...we need to talk, the program in the danger room was planted there, it was not deliberate, we would never do something like that to hurt you. Remy gave no reply and continued his way out of the mansion.
Remy made his way to the boathouse, Elena and Hunter weren't there. Closing his eyes Remy concentrated on them after a few moments he found that they were in Storm's loft. Remy quickly got dressed then returned to the mansion and stole Logan's bike, driving down the road, Remy spotted the bar he and Logan used to hang out in, pulling over he ordered a couple of beers and went to the pool table.
Leaving the mansion in one piece, Logan and Storm quickly found out not to mess with a pissed off Mrs.LeBeau especially after what had happened the last few days in the Danger room, so the two were sent to look for the missing Cajun, Logan had a pretty good idea where Remy was as he turned into the parking lot, parking the Jeep, Storm asked. "Why are we at Harry's?"
"Well it's simple 'Ro think of it this way, you're Remy...you're forced to come back to the institute ta be with people who still hate you...we get Remy to go through all that shit he went through in Antarctica again, you pass out because of the overload of memories and being pissed off doesn't help, feeling betrayed...as he probably thinks that we set up that program just for the hell of it...after going through all that wouldn't you want a beer..." he asked as he leaned his left arm on the steering wheel.
Storm crossed her arms and looked at him quizzically.
"Okay...how bout my bike's parked over there..." Storm looked outside then smiled and got out of the Jeep.
Leading her inside Logan spotted Remy in the back of the bar playing pool. Sniffing the air Logan sighed, and kissed Ororo's cheek, "Don't get too close darlin'." Logan ordered a few beers, and made his way toward Remy as he lined up his shot. "Ya calmed down a bit pup?" Remy glanced up took the cue and rammed it against the wall shattering the cue into pieces and punching a hole in the wall, grabbing another cue Remy then went to the end of the pool table and again lined up his shot. "I'll take that as a no..." Logan grunted as he leaned against the wall wrapping an arm around Storm and caressing her hip. They silently watched as Remy sipped at his beer and played a few games ignoring the fact that they were even in the room.
After a few hours, Remy sat in one of the booths and glared at the two X-men still in the room. Finishing his beer and locking eyes with the waitress, Remy motioned that he wanted another round. Taking a chance Storm sat facing Remy while Logan sat beside her, waiting until Remy got his order, Logan started. "Ya know Elena's worried about ya... dissapearin' and all, she threatened to kick my and every single X-men's ass if we didn't find ya."
Remy didn't look up from his beer.
"Remy please say something..." Storm pleaded.
"Look Gumbo, that program was planted there, we had no clue it was there..."
"Ya remember our little conversation at my loft?" Remy asked as he downed his beer. Looking back to Logan when he didn't get and answer. "...Wolfie..." Remy reached back taking out his wallet and dropping a twenty on the table.
"Yeah I remember..." Logan watched the Cajun's every move.
"Dis would be da part were Remy still not learn and was stupid enough ta come back..." He growled as he stood and left the bar.
"Rem...wait" Logan stood as well to try and stop him.
Remy quickly turned, "I'm through with being fucked with, I'm sick and tired of all dis shit...I have a wife and a son now...I don't want ta go through that fucken crap again DAMNIT..." he growled his eyes blazing.
"I know you don't Remy, but like I said someone planted it there, we don't know who, but we're gonna find out alright...Just calm down okay." Logan pleaded.
Remy grumbled then headed for the door, "Don't matter we're leavin...goin' back home..."
"Wait...what about your powers?" Logan asked his voice dripping with worry.
"I'll deal with them myself...nevah wanted ya fucken help in da first place, why da hell couldn't ya just leave me da hell alone and continue thinkin' I'm dead...even if I really absolutely do need ya help, 'parently I need an act of God ta be able ta get it from any of ya..." Remy sneered, as he slammed the door open and walked out of Harry's driving off on Logan's bike.
When Remy arrived at the boathouse he entered, Hunter was crying and Elena was frantic yelling at the Professor, Jean and Hank as they desperately tried to calm her. "What the hell is wrong with you people...what the hell kind of place do you run here?" She screamed out.
"Mrs.LeBeau please calm down..." Charles held out his hands and was surprised when she kept her mouth shut as she stared past him.
"Remy?" she whispered and pushed herself past Hank, running and hugging Remy as if it would be the last time they'd see each other. "Where the hell were you?" she barked out, as she punched his left arm, then leaned on his chest and took slow deep breaths. "Scared the hell out of me..." she rasped. Remy rested his head on top of hers and stroked her back.
Looking up at the three still in the room Remy spoke in a clear voice. "Get...Out..." Elena looked up in her husband's eyes he was definitely pissed.
"Remy we need to..." Hank stepped forward.
"Leave...now..." Remy continued.
Jean stood, "But..."
"Very well Remy..." Xavier cut her off. "But we need to have a talk in the morning..." Charles answered with a tone that meant 'you better be in my office in the morning.' And left the boathouse, the doctor and the redhead following close behind.
Remy sighed and closed his eyes as the door was closed shut. "Rem..."
"Were goin' home..." he told his wife plainly as he kissed her lips lightly, and walked over to Hunter picking him up to quiet him down.
Elena walked over to him, "Why...what happened?"
"...Knew I shouldn't have come back..." he mumbled.
Knowing that she wouldn't get any other kind of answer from him Elena sighed, "Okay...I'll start packing..." she looked at him worriedly.
While she packed their things she had a feeling that leaving was a huge mistake. Remy called the airport and a cab company to come pick them up at a certain time, after Hunter was fed and cleaned, Remy helped his wife pack the rest of their things leaving the bags by the door he then joined her in bed. Leaning her head on Remy's chest, Elena held on tightly. "What happened today, why did you leave?"
"Needed ta think dove..." Remy answered as he caressed her right arm.
"What about your powers..."
"Don' worry bout dem...I'll be all right...you should get some sleep dove...yellin' at the X-men had ta be tiring..." he smiled.
After a few moments still not satisfied with his answers, "Are you sure you're okay?"
Remy chuckled, "Oh nag, nag, nag, get over here." Remy pulled her on top of him and ran his hand through her hair, kissing her forehead he gazed in her eyes. "In da danger room, they ran an Antarctica program...dat's why I lost it when ya found me...dey wanna fuck me over again, I ain't gonna let them..."
Elena had tears in her eyes as she ran her hands up and down his chest. Leaning her head down she kissed him sweetly, which quickly turned heated. Pulling her up Remy let out a groan as she ran her nails down his sides, lifting her shirt up Remy ran his hands down her back and flipped her over as he settled himself atop her, smirking as she moaned out in ecstasy taking her right breast in his mouth, Elena nearly jumped up as Remy entered her and bit down gently on her breast, slowly moving within her Remy took his time in pleasuring his wife. "Remy...I can't take anymore..." she moaned out Remy grinned as he plunged his tongue in her mouth, kissing her demandingly and started to move faster. Trailing kisses down her throat Elena screamed out his name, which was quickly smothered by Remy's mouth.
Totally exhausted Elena then passed out Remy pulled himself out and settled down next to her, watching as her breathing slowed, Remy then surrendered himself to sleep.
"I'm tellin ya Chuck he said he was leaving...he thinks we just brought him here ta screw with him. I called da airport the flight leaves at six in the morning..."
"Scott did you find out who installed that program?" Charles asked.
"Yeah, and you're not gonna like who it is." Scott assured.
Remy groaned as the alarm beside the bed rang out, slowly opening his left eye he glared at the offending clock which read five am, pushing on the button to shut it off it immediately started up again, picking up the clock Remy gave it an extremely weak charge and threw it across the room. And smiled when he heard a small boom in the hall. Getting comfortable again Remy grasped Elena by the waist and pulled her to his chest and lifting the covers wrapped them tightly around them, Remy nuzzled the back of her neck enjoying the feeling of his wife's warm body against his. Desperately wanting a few more minutes of sleep, Remy sighed as he slowly opened his eyes. Someone had just kicked the door open downstairs and was quickly making their way upstairs.
Entering the boathouse Logan sneered at the luggage lined up by the door, and rushed up the stairs to the LeBeau's room Logan growled out, "Listen to me ya little shit, we are not fucking with ya, damnit Gumbo we sure as hell don't want anything to happen to your wife and kid, now we said we were gonna help ya and that's what were gonna do so ya can't leave not yet cause guess what we just found out who planted that fucken program..."
Remy lifted his head drowsily glared at Logan and yawned, getting comfortable again. "It was Bobby...now ya mind I'm kinda tired Wolfie."
"Ya knew?" Logan gawked.
Remy chuckled "I've always known, he jealous cause Rogue refuses to give me up."
"So you're not leaving?"
"No we still leaving." Remy assured.
"Why?"
"Cause 'parently people here still have a little problem bout me being here, and if they still have da nerve ta try something stupid like making me lose control, of my powers just cause dey still pissed, how da hell can I trust 'lena and Hunter ta be safe here...If they get hurt cause of some stupid prank, I'll probably burn down da whole fucken mansion and kill off everyone around me...and da last ting dis boy wants is another death on my conscious...ya see Remy's little dilemma there, Wolfie?"
Wolverine sighed, "Yeah, I see the problem, can ya at least hold off the trip home for a day, so we can all talk and figure this out?"
"Sure Wolfie..." Remy snuggled up to his wife again.
"Um we checked the airport...aren't you going to call and cancel your flight?"
"Why...our flight's for tomorrow..."
Logan grunted, "You sly little bastard..."
"Lo...gan?" Elena moaned out turning in Remy's embrace and kissed his shoulder.
"Yeah darlin'?"
"It's five in da morning, either you leave willingly, or with a six inch heel up your ass...your choice sweetie."
Logan chuckled, "I think I'll go willingly, see ya at the mansion later right?" Logan frowned when he didn't get an answer. "Right?" he repeated.
"Yes we'll be there now ya better scram cause I'm startin ta lose my grip on her and she slowly making her way to da closet."
"Alright, alright I'm leavin...jeesh." Logan chuckled as he quietly made his way downstairs, closed the door behind him and made his way back to the mansion.
