Hehe, its 2 in the morning and I am writing this, so sorry if it came out bad, I'll recheck this in the morning after I get some sleep and after the kid down the street stops blowing off fireworks.
Disclaimer: as I said in the last chapter and the chapter before that, I do not own the characters in this story!
X-Mansion-War Room
Rogue sat next to Jubilee and Kitty who were comforting their friend. "It's alright Rogue, I'm sure we will find him." Jubilee placed a hand on Rogue's shoulder.
"Yeah, like don't worry, the Professor is searching for him now with Cerebro." Kitty added in, but Rogue wasn't paying attention to either of them. Instead her thoughts were else where.
'Why did this have ta happen?' She began to question herself. 'What happened ta him, that couldn't of been Remy.' Her thoughts were on New Sun, whom she thought had been Remy. 'It wasn't him, he would never attack meh or anyone or maybe he was just a spy sent to trick us?' She leaned back in her chair as Kitty and Jubilee talked to her, but she didn't pay attention.
Rogue glanced over at Storm who was equally upset about learning the man she considered her best friend, brother even, had disappeared. In his place someone else claiming and looking identical was sent to fool them.
Rogue shook her head. 'No, it wasn't Remy. If anyone knows him Ah'm sure Storm does.' She thought and began to feel a tad bit better. She wouldn't be completely better until she knew Remy was safe. The main question was, where was he and who was this Sinister guy?
Rogue looked over at Scott, who had been looking very uneasy as he sat next to Kurt. He hadn't said a word, which was unlike him. He would usually go into his leader mode and start issuing orders.
She then turned her attention to Logan, whose face had healed, thanks to his healing factor. He had passed by New Sun's cell a few times, she guessed to even the score. Luckily, the Professor had told him to stay with everyone in the War Room and wait till he came with Hank with information on where they needed to go.
Bobby sat in his chair twirling his finger around on the table looking bored. They had been sitting in the War Room now for over fifteen minutes and his stomach had been growling for most of the time. When he tried to leave to get something to eat, Logan yelled for him to sit down and wait like everyone else.
Peter sat next to Bobby. He kept a straight face, showing he was not frightened by what he had seen. Even after seeing Wolverine's face when it had been burned. He just remained calmed, like his usual self.
Finally the doors opened and the Professor and Hank entered into the War Room. All eyes were on the two of them. "Thank you all for waiting patiently." Xavier thanked them as Hank took a seat next to Scott.
"I've been trying to track down this Sinister person, but I was unable to get a lock on them. I then had to enter into New Sun's mind. . ." He began to say.
"Who the hell is New Sun?" Wolverine interrupted. No one in the War Room knew of the name either and were just as curious. Although most of them would of waited for the Professor to finish what he was saying before asking.
"The mutant that attacked Rogue and yourself outside." The Professor explained to him.
Bobby snorted. "What kind of name is New Sun? What because he can blow stuff up?" Bobby said to himself.
"Is this New Sun person a shape shifter?" Storm asked, her normal blue eyes were filled with tears. She had tried to hide it, but they kept showing themselves.
"That is the strange thing." Xavier said as he folded his hands together. "When I looked into his mind, he showed where Sinister's lab was and who he was. When I tried to look further for a answer, I was kicked out of his mind. Before that though, everything was cloudy, like he has no memories other than those." Xavier said.
"Could he be a clone?" Cyclops asked, everyone looked at him surprised. He had finally spoken up and it had been something that some of them had thought of, but none spoke of.
"No, I heard that they can't clone people. It was on the news." Jubilee said as she placed her hands behind her black hair.
"Actually it could be a possibility. What some mutant know is far more advanced than normal humans. Someone might of figured out how to clone." Xavier said to them. Jubilee and some of the others looked in shock, they had never heard of any of this.
"Pardon me from the clone discussion, but we have a problem on our hands." Hank interrupted.
"Did ya find where this Sinister is at?" Rogue asked the Professor, who nodded at her.
"Yes I was able to find his location after searching through New Sun's mind. I had already programed the information into the X-Jet and it will take you right there." The Professor explained. "Our only problem now is finding out who this Sinister person is."
"He's sick." Scott whispered, the others looked at him. He did not look at them, he only stared straight down at the table.
"Ya got something to add Cyke?" Wolverine asked as he folded his arms over his chest.
Cyclops did not look up. "I've heard some stuff about him, from what I heard he is sick. He experiments on mutants, not caring if they are awake or not when he experiments on them." He said, a shiver ran down his spine.
'Mah god, Remy.' Rogue thought to herself as she thought of what this Sinister could be doing to him at the moment. She stood up from her seat. "Ah'm goin ta find him." She said as she pushed her chair away and began walking to the door. Wolverine got out of his chair and grabbed her by the arm.
"Not so fast darlin." He said, stopping her. She turned around and glared at him.
"Ya can't stop meh Logan. Ah'll find him on mah own if Ah have ta." She told him.
"We are going to find Gambit, have no fear of that Rogue, but we simply can not just go and rush into this. We must first come up with a plan." Xavier tried to explain to her.
"And that also wastes time, while this mad man has Remy and doin who knows what ta him!" Rogue tried to control herself from yelling.
"We should have two teams. I will lead one and so will Storm." Cyclops spoke up. "On Storm's team will be Rogue, Iceman, Wolverine, and Jubilee. My team will be of Beast, ShadowCat, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. Storm's team will go in first, if you need assistance we will come and help you. We can't send everyone in, incase of capture." Cyclops explained, his normal self returning.
X-Jet
They had taken off a hour ago. Mostly everyone in the jet remained quiet, even Jubilee. Storm and Nightcrawler sat next to each other. Kitty of course sat by Pete. While Beast and Cyclops sat in the front of the jet.
Rogue stared out the window of the jet, looking at the ground below. 'Ah hope Ah'm not too late sugah.' She thought to herself, not hearing someone come to stand beside her.
"Ugh, Rogue." She heard Bobby's voice say. She turned to see Iceman standing there, rubbing his arm.
"What do ya want Bobby?" She asked, not sure of what he was going to ask. She didn't know if he came to just talk or gloat because of what happened.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened before. I was really jealous that you liked Remy more than me." He said, she was about to say something when he stopped her. "It's not fair to force you to be a in a relationship you don't want." He began to scratch his head. "I just wanted to say, when we get Gambit back, I hope you two are very happy together." He finally said.
Rogue looked surprised. "Thanks Bobby." She said with a smile. He smiled back at her.
"I was hoping if we could go back to being friends again. I can understand if you don't want to after I was being such a jerk." He said to her.
"Ah would like that." Rogue got up from her seat and gave Bobby a hug. "And sorry for punchin ya in the nose, hope it heals soon." She told him.
"Hank said it should be as good as new in a week or so. Where did you get that arm at though?" He asked her, she began to chuckle.
"Been paying attention while Logan teaches in the Danger Room." She answered him.
45 minutes later
The X-Jet landed near a forest. "Okay people, you know the drill. If something happens to you all or you need back up, my team will come to assist you." Cyclops instructed the awaiting X-Men.
"We got it, let's go." Wolverine said as he exited the jet, followed by Storm, Rogue, Iceman, and Jubilee.
They walked through the forest for ten minutes until they came in contact with a building that looked like it had been abandoned for some time. "Is this it?" Rogue asked Wolverine.
"Yeah, I can smell the Cajun from here." Wolverine told her. Hope filled Rogue as they walked closer to the building. Soon they will be able to get Remy back.
Storm, Iceman, Jubilee, and Rogue waited until Wolverine gave them the clear it was safe. He had found a door that had been locked. He simply used his claws and took the door down, but to make sure it was safe for everyone else he went in first. "It's safe." He called to them.
The four of them entered into the building and saw it looked abandoned and began to wonder if the Professor had the right place. "Are you sure he is here?" Jubilee asked as she looked at the boxes that had been lying to the side with dust on them.
"Yeah, he is." Wolverine answered her as they began to walk further into the building. Suddenly behind them another door slide over the entrance they used and covered it.
"Okay I am starting to think he is right." Bobby said, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice.
"What's goin on?" Rogue whispered to Storm.
"I don't know, but I don't like the looks of this." She told Rogue as she began to cough. White smoke began to fill the room.
"What is that stuff?" Jubilee called to her comrades, using her jacket to cover her nose and mouth. No one was able to answer her as they fell to the ground. The smoke soon began to fade from the room.
Rogue tried to stay conscious as long as she could. Jubilee, Storm, and Bobby had all gone unconscious. Seconds later, Wolverine joined them. Rogue looked to the far corner of the room and she could see red eyes looking at her. She then closed her eyes and went unconscious with the rest of her team mates. The last thing she heard was a sinister laugh.
X-Mansion
Xavier's wheelchair sat in front of New Sun's cell and looked at the unconscious man. 'Perhaps if I try looking within his mind again, I might get the answer I am looking for." He thought to himself. He didn't like entering into people's heads unless it was under their consent or the person was in danger of themselves.
This was a different situation though. The man that was sitting in front of him, hands chained to the wall, looked exactly like Gambit. It had been very disturbing, even to him when he saw the resemblance. Although, New Sun didn't have a accent he still looked the same. No one, unless they were a telepath, would be able to figure out which was Gambit or New Sun if they stood side by side.
Xavier raised his hands to his head as he began to enter into New Sun's mind, only to find this time it was blocked by some powerful mental shields, that had not been there before. "Maybe we will be able to get some answers out of him when he wakes up." The Professor sighed as he wheeled out.
New Sun's cell was in a room and he was behind a glass window that had electric bars coming down. All this kept many prisoners still while being there, either by being a danger to themselves and needed to be isolated or being the enemy. No one had broken out of it so far.
New Sun opened his red on black eyes and stared straight at the electric bars and glass. 'Where the hell am I?' He thought to himself as he began to move his arms, but found that they were chained to the wall. Slowly he began to recall what had happened before.
'That's right, Sinister and his little pets came.' New Sun thought, a bit a amusement and insult crossed his mind. 'He'll pay for interfering with my mission.' New Sun thought as the chains the held his hands began to glow. The chains soon exploded off the wall. He rubbed his wrists and then got to his feet.
He stared straight at the glass as it began to glow as well, a few seconds later it shattered to the ground. The electric bars were still in the way. New Sun just smirked as he walked straight, his body began to glow a redish-blue color as he walked right through the bars. The energy from his body and the energy from the bars cracked when met, but the bars remained there when he stood on the opposite side of the cell.
"Now, time to see where I am at." New Sun said to himself as he walked to the door that lead out of the prisoner's area.
End of Chapter 22
kyo-kitty: actually I kinda took the part that happened to Wolvie from Ultimate X-Men, him and Remy were fighting, because he wanted to kidnap Rogue, and he well did what New Sun did to Wolvie in the last chapter. As for Sinnie, lol yeah I think you put it the best way, he is a sick son of a bitch. Thanks for reviewing
WolvGambit Le Diable Blanc: see they are on their way, well kinda were then well... didn't go as planned. Now they got to wait for Cykes team and that can take forever, but Sinnie learns a important lesson. Thanks for reviewing
sakura5tar: I only torment him because I love him so, but everything will get better, eh, maybe if we are lucky, but my notes say otherwise. Thanks for reviewing
firestorm13: yeah he is kinda not right in the head, although he does know what goes where when experimentin on someone. Couldn't be a normal father and take his son to a baseball game, no he has lives to destroy instead. Actually I think New Sun takes after Sinister more than Gambit. Thanks for reviewing
Rogue gaL: Rogue gets ta see Remy in the next chapter, well for a short while, before that she curses at Sinnie for a while. Thanks for reviewin
dawn1: hm, there is another Remy I can think of that is evil, I call him Captain Hair (Ultimate Gambit) although I heard when he comes back in he is good, but well see. Thanks for reviewing
Spicy Sweet: the pic is Remy holding Rogue close to him (they are married in this comic and have kids ) and he is holding a knife behind Rogue's back like he is going to stab her, she doesn't seem to be noticing it either. Of course that issue isn't out for a while, only saw a preview :( Thanks for reviewin
bored247: for most a father/son therapy session would help, but I don't think Remy and Sinister will ever have a father/son bond. Especially like ya said, dad wanting to kill your friends, that hurts it, but also him wanting to kill the girl he loves, that makes it worse. Thanks for reviewing
enchantedlight: glad ya liked the chapter, thanks for reviewing
Next Chapter: everyone wakes up and meets Mr. Sinister and get to see what happened to Gambit, while Cyclops team decides to help out everyone, also learn New Sun's history.
