After Magneto left, Remy collapsed onto his bed, his head in his hands. What was he supposed to do? Go back to Magneto? Betray Rogue?
"I won't let her be gettin' hurt." He said silently. He had too. For Rogue.
Now what would Pyro say? He has Amara, the love of his life. Why now?
***
Pyro sat up slowly as Amara offered him some soup. He reached for the bowl but Amara pulled it away saying, "Hey, lemme do it. Lemme take care of it." He smiled and let her spoon the warm broth into his awaiting mouth.
The hot soup slid down his throat easily, soothing his burning throat. The doctor diagnosed him with a sort of cold. Nothing big of course, but he needed to stay in the medic ward so it wouldn't spread.
Of course, Amara was with him 24/7. Feeding him, making sure he was kept warm, that there was always clean tissues. Pyro was walking on air; he had his girlfriend waiting on him hand and foot, and even when he tried to get her to let him do something she would always give him stony looks. Her don't-mess-with-me-I'm-in-nurse-mode look.
Amara had left at twelve that night after both Hank and John had convinced her that he wasn't going to die in his sleep. He was just about to doze off when the lights came on, full beam.
"What the..." He saw Remy by the door. A determind look on his face and bag in hand.
"Come on John." He said stonily, his eyes vacant. "We have to go."
John sat up shocked. "What? The bloody is your problem?"
"Magneto came. We don't go back he'll hurt de girls."
John's face fell. He let his head droop to his chest. "Why when we're so happy that he comes back into the picture?" He stopped and rubbed the back of his hand against his cheek, trying not to have Remy notice that there where tears falling from his green eyes. "I was finally... I dunno happy."
Gambit forced a smile. "We got to go homme. We can't let 'em take de girls. I couldn't live wit' dat."
Pyro nodded then sniffed. "Do you need to get any tings?" He asked.
"I don't have any things. Lets just get out of here."
Remy nodded as John threw on his coat that was hanging on a chair next to him and jotted down a quick note.
"Come on John. We gotta hurry!" Persisted Gambit, looking around dodgedly.
John nodded and follow Remy, he looked back once then shut the door.
***
"Oh my gosh. How can they do this to us?" Amara choked, sobbing as she held John's letter in her trembling hands.
"I knew they couldn't be trusted." Logan snarled, his fists clenched.
Rogue stood in the corner; this couldn't be happening. Not when she was so close to... loving.
Amara looked at the note once more that read; Dear Amara, I'm sorry, but Remy and I had to leave. It wasn't safe. I'll see you soon, luv. I love you. -John
Amara held the letter to her chest, tears streaming down her face.
"They said it wasn't safe. What does that mean?" She sobbed.
Xavier appeared behind her.
"Magneto."
***
Rogue slammed her door. He wasn't coming back. How could she had thought that he could have loved her?
Curling up on her bed, she drew her knees to her chest and sobbed heavily.
She laid her head down on the pillow and felt the crinkling of paper.
She pulled out a letter. Remy.
Reading it softly to herself it read: Dearest Rogue. Please don't be angry. I had to go. Its out of our control now. With him I don't know what he mighta done. I love you and will contact you as soon as I can. Please don't come looking for me. Its safer. I will see you again darling. I love you with all my heart. Yours, Remy
A small picture floated out of the crumbled enevlope. Picking it up gingerly, she sniffled at the sight.
It was one of the only pictures they had taken together, at the mall. He was holding her close and she was smiling. Smiling. She couldn't even remember how to. Not with him gone. Him, he had said. Magneto.
"I'm comin' Remy. I don't give up the person ah love without a fight."
***
Remy and Pyro sat in the very last seats of the worn bus. The leather seat where cracked and taped over many times over, the smell of strong perfume from the women next to them, to the heavy stench of cigarette smoke from the bearded man in front.
They drove through the busy cities and the small tows, they all melded together as one. And all the while not saying a word. Nothing needed to be spoken; they where going back to the one place they never wanted to see again, back to the crushing brutality of the one man they dispise.
John leaned his head against the cool glass of the bus as the snowflakes swirled madly outside. To the old woman in the seat in front, she was visiting her daughter. The bearded man in the front talking to her was on his vacation, and the mom and twin girls behind they are going to see there dad who was on a business trip.
But not them. No, they weren't going to see family, friends or go on vacation. They where going to the human hater, the one man that could ruin it all for them, and for themselves. To the kids in the back to the people up front, they didn't even know what was coming. No one did.
"John?" Gambit asked, breaking the stony silence.
"Yeah."
"Do you love her?"
Pyro smiled. "What do I know about love mate? I'm helping the one man that hopes to destroy it. But, yeah. From whatever bit is left of me I do love her. If love is not being able to eat, sleep or think of anything else. When I'm not with her I feel sick and... never mind. You don't wanna come into my little pity party mate."
Remy smiled. "I know what you mean homme. I truly do."
Pyro turned toward him, his back cracking from sitting in the same position for so many miles.
"What are we going to do when we get back? Tell 'im we're sorry? Hope they'll welcome us back with open arms? I mean, we go back to what we where? I can't forget 'bout Amara. "
"I can't forget Rogue. We will get back to them. If we play our cards right, we might just take Mags down with us."
Pyro smiled, then stopped.
"I seriously dought that Mr. LaBeau." Came a voice behind him.
Gambit gulped and turned around, his heart pounding in his chest.
"Magneto?"
"Surprised Mr.LaBeau? Maybe you thought that you could just, how did you put it? 'Play your cards?' Believe me Gambit, what'll happen to Rogue if you do try anything? Ever thought of that?"
Gambit avoided Magneto's gaze so he couldn't see the pure hatred in him.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He exclaimed, grabbing Remy's jaw and forcing his head up. He smiled, then chuckled. "You have anger, good. Hate. Even better. Use it, because you will need it." He slapped Remy's head as he let go, twisting his neck as the backhand came.
He turned to Pyro, the tension in the air was almost suffocating.
"And as for you Allerdyce. Believe when I say that I will waste no time putting you away if as so much look at me in a way I don't like. I know your weaknesses Allerdyce. Don't think I won't use them to my advantage."
Gambit saw that the bus was stopped and everyone was crumpled in their seats trying to avoid the powerful mutant in front of them.
Magneto looked around then snapped, "Lets go. Now." That tone left no room for argument. They silently arose and walked out of the bus slowly, not looking into the faces into the people around them. They knew what they would see. Fear. Hate. Pain. That's what it always was.
The bus sped off as the got off, making Magneto smile sadistically.
"Well that was fun. Come on, our transport is waiting." The followed him to an outcrop of trees where three metal balls lay in wait. Pyro nervously jumped in. He was claustrophobic and Magneto knew this of course, not that he cared.
Remy threw his stuff in and hopped in, throwing one last glance to the normal world before the metal closed in around him.
He felt the small air crafts take off, as he sat back and stared at the crumpled picture he kept in his back wallet. A small picture of Rogue he had taken secretly when she was not looking. She was smiling, and the sun was shining in her face making her pale skin look as pure as the moon itself.
He would see her again. Soon. He just had to wait. ***
TBC... Long?? Hmmms??? Most of it was introspective cuz I was feeling introsectivally- whatever you know what I mean. Anywhos, please R&R!! Danke and Merci Buku!
