Chapter 2
"Alright I have uh, a friend, who can take us to her." Rogue looked suspiciously up at Remy.
"Ok..." Remy took her to a house that looked very expensive; no place for two ragged kids. However Remy took her in without a second glance.
"Uh...you sure Remy...I don't know bout this."
"Its fine, just follow me," he smirked, and laughed silently at the way she looked in awe at all her surroundings.
"Ah, Mr. LeBeau I see you have come to see Master Henri," a voice said. Rogue turned quickly to see who spoke. An old thin man smiled down at her. "I see you've brought a friend as well."
"Oh! Butler didn't even hear you come in. You are gettin better at that," Remy smiled up at the man he had just called, Butler.
"Well, I do learn from the best, Mr. LeBeau," Butler winked. Then turned and led them to two humongous French doors. "Right this way, mademoiselle." Rogue blushed; she had never been treated like this, even for fun. The three of them walked into the room.
"Well, well, well Remy finally come to stay or just here for a nap?" said the man in the room.
"Nope, Henri I'm here for business." The man raised his eyebrow as if to question. "Now, now, Henri, I'm not lying this time," Remy smiled.
"Very well, now please introduce me to this lovely lady you have brought with you," Henri said looking at Rogue for the first time. He smiled and took her hand with his gloved one and was about to kiss it, when Rogue withdrew suddenly.
"You might not want to do that," Rogue whispered looking down. Henri looked at Remy for a second to see what was the matter, but it seemed Remy had no idea either. Rogue noticed the glance between the two and spoke. "For some reason if anybody touches me they fall down and these thoughts come into my head." Henri began to understand, he smiled at Rogue knowingly.
"No need to worry petite. I know what's happening to you. You a mutant is all. Remy is one too." Remy smiled as he realized where Henri was going with this. "In fact, I know just the place for you to learn how to work with your gift." Rogue looked up. She couldn't believe that this man, who didn't even know her, wanted to help her. She smiled, for the first time in two months.
The three of them walked up to the big building, Rogue and Remy slightly lagging behind. Henri knocked on the door and waited, while Remy took Rogue's hand. Rogue smiled at him and squeezed his hand in return. The two of them had become quite close in two years. It had taken so long to enter the Institute because the Institute only accepted children 5 and older.
"Hello, Henri, I've been waiting for you. I presume these two are Rogue and Remy," a bald man in a wheel chair had come up to the door, and smiled at the three of them.
"Hello Xavier," Henri smiled right back at the man knowing full well what the Professor was doing in the two children's minds. Professor Xavier turned and wheeled into the building with the three behind him.
"I see you want to enroll this two into the Institute," Xavier said without looking back. Rogue seemed astounded; she hadn't heard anyone say anything. Remy on the other hand had been informed of the great Professor's mutant ability long ago. When they finally came to Xavier's office he began to speak again.
"Here at the Institute we help with the training and controlling of one's powers, we try not to be harsh when it comes to punishments but there are some people here who do not like to be tamed. *cough* Wolverine *cough*. Ah yes, Henri, I see you remember our happy occupant at the Institute. Although, he is not as bad as he used to be," Xavier turned to smile. He wheeled around to his desk and the three others sat down. "All you need to do is sign up here and we'll have rooms ready for these two in no time."
"Okay," Henri signed the paper and then looked back at the kids who were so bored that they had already resorted to poking each other in the stomach. Henri smiled but then cleared his throat to get their attention. "Well, I hope you two behave yourselves you call if you ever need anything. Other then that I'll be on my way," he got up and hugged the two of them and then was gone.
"Henri went here once!?! You mean he's a mutant too?" Remy inquired.
"No, your brother was just our financer for a time. Wolverine didn't trust him much and that's how their conflict started."
"I'd hate to get on this guy Wolverine's nerves if I ever met him." Just as Remy finished his sentence, Wolverine burst through the door.
"HENRI!!!!!!!!!!"
"You just missed him," Remy grinned.
"Whoa, what's with the demon kid?"
"Look who's talking Ugly-Butt." Wolverine looked down at the girl in front of him. Wolverine almost fell on the floor laughing but the look on the girl's face told him to shut up. But hey this is Wolverine, he laughed anyway. Rogue was really angry by now and was about to take off her glove when a voice inside her head told her to stop. At first she was startled then she realized that the Professor must be the one talking to her. Rogue did put back on her glove but not without kicking Wolverine in the side first. Wolverine who had been rolling on the floor laughing didn't even feel the kick. Remy was laughing too; he found it hilarious that a girl, that was about ½ Wolverine's size, just stood up to him. Rogue sat back down with a huff and dragged Remy with her. Wolverine had gotten up by now but was not over his laughing fit, even the Professor was shaken he had never seen Wolverine laugh so hard the entire time he had been at the Institute.
"Hahahhaha*wheeze* I like this kid, hahhahaha, what's your name Stripes?"
"Well it sure as hell ain't Stripes, now is it?" Rogue snapped while hiding her face behind her bright white bangs. "And if the big baboon who's laughing his butt off, wants to know, it's Rogue." Wolverine had finally calmed and got a chance to take a good look at her before talking.
"Nice name, so what's de-, I mean the other kid's name?"
"It's Remy, mon ami." Wolverine looked at Xavier, (he smells like Henri.) The Professor smiled, (that's because they're brothers.) Wolverine nodded, and then said, "So let me guess these two need rooms."
"Well done Logan, I see you haven't lost all your brain cells playing with the Danger Room." The two children grinned at each other; they both wondered the same thing, (Danger Room? What can I wreck there?)
"It's not what you think children, just follow Logan to your rooms," then the Professor just went back to his work.
7 Years Later
"KITTY!!!!!STAY OUT OF MY ROOM!!!!!!!"
"Like, take a chill pill, Rogue, you know it's, like, my room too." Kitty said while phasing through everything Rogue threw at her from outside the hall.
"You heard the fille, Rogue, just chill wit Remy and everything'll be fine." Rogue signed.
"Would you quit talking about yourself in third person, no matter what you say nobody is going to think it's sexy." Kitty popped her out of the wall right next to the door and said, "Actually...I do."
"GRRRRRRR!!! Kitty SHUT UP! See what I mean the only person who likes it is the idiot I sleep in a room with."
"Hey I heard that! And Jean likes it too."
"See mon chere, the fille likes it too," Remy smiled to himself, daydreaming.
"And what's with the French! I know you've been studying it for some time but do you have to go around speaking it like you've been speaking it for years. I've studied as much as you have I still suck."
"No need to be jealous of Remy's amazin talent." Rogue snorted.
(Students please report to auditorium.) Rogue and Remy both groaned.
"Alright I have uh, a friend, who can take us to her." Rogue looked suspiciously up at Remy.
