Warning: the first part of this chapter is kinda disturbing, well i think it kinda is, and just to make it clear, it is a dream!
Disclaimer: as I said in the last chapter and the chapter before that, I do not own the characters in this story!
X-Mansion
It was around four in the morning when Remy wondered into the kitchen. He turned on the light and went over to the fridge. He was only dressed in a pair of pants and wore sunglasses to protect his eyes from the light.
He looked through the fridge, not caring what he found, just wanted something to eat. He closed the fridge after finding nothing in there. He heard a noise behind him and turned to see Rogue standing there in a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. "Couldn't sleep either?" She asked him as she rubbed her eyes. He smirked over at her.
She walked over to him as he leaned against the counter. "Non, usually don' get dat much sleep." He answered her as she came closer to him and leaned her head against his shoulder, her bare skin touching his. Remy placed a hand around her waist as he felt something appear in his other hand and pulled it around Rogue's back.
"Ya promise ya will stay here?" Rogue asked as she relaxed again him. Remy placed his head on top of Rogue's head, and did not answer her. If she were to look into his eyes, she would see them glowing brightly.
"Of course." He answered her in a low voice as he raised his other hand with a knife that had appeared in it a few seconds ago. "But y' won't be." He told her as he stabbed her in the back.
Rogue pulled away from him and looked him in the face. She noticed his skin started to turn metallic and his eyes were shining brightly. "Remy?" She whispered as she fell to the ground. Remy stared down at her emotionlessly. He heard laughter coming from in front of him.
He looked up to see Sinister standing there and to the side of him were the other X-Men, all dead. "Well done, my son." He spoke.
Remy shot up from his bed, breathing hard. 'It was just a dream.' He kept telling himself as he raised a hand to his head and then noticed that his bed was glowing. 'Merde.' He cursed as he gently placed his hand back on the bed and reabsorbed the energy.
'Guessin dat dream was a clear sign Gambit shouldn't stay here.' He thought to himself as he laid back down in his bed and stared at the ceiling. He knew he was not going to get a ounce of sleep tonight.
Morning
"Your just gonna make it take longer if ya stall." Wolverine folded his arms over his chest as he waited for Jubilee to come to the Danger Room. The young mutant girl walked in as slow as she could.
"Why do we have to practice today? None of the other students have to. Rogue doesn't have to." Jubilee pointed out as she stood next to Bobby, Peter, and Kitty as they all waited for the elevator to take them down.
"Yes, but the others are not part of the X-Men, you guys are. The Professor told me to train you guys until you can't take anymore. As for Rogue, she was excused from Hank, since she got that cut on her face." Wolverine told them as the elevator doors opened and everyone stepped onto it.
"This is not fair, the least you could do it make everyone else practice too." Kitty whined along with Jubilee. 'But at least Pete is with me.' She thought as she looked over at her boyfriend, who smiled down at her.
"Why couldn't Lorna come with? She said she would sit on the side and watch." Bobby asked Logan, who ignored the young man.
"So you and Lorna, huh?" Jubilee asked in a teasing voice. She had seen the two of them together and she saw how he looked at the green haired girl. She knew he had feelings for her. 'Why does it seem like everyone can find a person, except for me?' She thought to herself, but did not say anything. She had wanted a boyfriend and it seemed like everyone was taken.
"Well, I, um." Bobby began to say, not knowing of what to say. "Well I did ask her to go out this Friday and she said sure. I don't know if she considers it a date or not." Bobby began to explain.
"Aw, you two will look so cute." Kitty said as she leaned against Pete. Jubilee smiled and turned away.
'Why can't I have someone?' She thought, but once again hid it from her friends.
Upstairs
"Stormy, can I talk to you for a moment?" Remy asked as he stepped into Ororo's classroom. The kids had all left a few minutes ago and this was the only time he could talk to her alone.
Storm smiled as her friend entered into the classroom. "First, stop calling me Stormy!" She protested before going onto what he wanted to speak of. "What do you want to talk about?" Ororo asked as Gambit sat on the edge of her desk.
"Just wanted to say it was nice stayin' here, but Gambit thinks it is time to go again." He told her, he saw the sad expression appear on her face.
"Did you not like it here?" She asked him. She had hoped he would stay here when she asked him to visit, but apparently her hopes failed.
"Non, dis place is paradise. Just need sometime to monself, dat's all." He told her. "Don't worry, Gambit will come visit his Stormy." He said to her, he didn't like the sad expression on her face. It only made him regret having to leave, but he knew he couldn't stay until the nightmares and his powers were back to normal or gone.
"You are always welcome here, if you ever need anything just call me. I will come as fast as I can." Storm told him as she got up from her chair to hug him. He hugged her back.
"Y' know Gambit can take care of himself, but if he needs y', he'll call." Remy promises his best friend before releasing her from a hug. He saw she had tears forming in her eyes and looked away from him.
"Well I got some work to do." She said to him, her hand was shaking.
"D'accord." He replied as he was about to walk out of the room when Storm heard the Professor's voice in her head.
'Get to the front, we are under attack.' She heard him say. She got to her feet and turned to Gambit. Knowing that Wolverine was training the kids, he might not be any help, but Gambit could be.
"Remy, the mansion is under attack, come with me." She ordered to him. He stopped and waited for her to catch up with him. They both walked out the door.
"Seriously, when are y' gettin' a new security system. Dis is de second time since Gambit's been here dat dis place has been attacked." He said to her, he smirked when he saw her give him a dirty look.
"I swear I will tell the Professor to get a better one when this is over." Storm replied as they both walked down to see Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Rogue all exit the mansion. They could see from the windows a huge man standing there.
The two friends exited out of the mansion and joined the other three outside to see Mystique, Blob, Avalanche, and Toad on the X-Mansion grounds. "Well, well, long time no see." Toad smiled over at Storm, whose eyes began to turn white.
"I see that toad to know how to swim after all." Storm said as she shot a lightening bolt at Toad, but he dodged out of the way.
Nightcrawler watched Mystique carefully as she came towards the group. 'Forgive me, Frau.' He apologized silently as he blocked her way into the mansion. Mystique brought her hand up, but Nightcrawler blocked her blow and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back.
Mystique landed on her feet and was ready for what was to come next. She saw Cyclops raise his hand to his visor to shoot a optic blast at her. She waited for the blast to come, and as soon as it did she rolled out of the way.
On the other side of the battle field Rogue was facing against Avalanche, who would shake the ground and make her fall to the ground. "What's the matter girlie?" He laughed at her, only making Rogue madder.
Avalanche was going to send another vibration into the ground when a card exploded in front of him. "Why don't y' pick on someone y'r own size." Gambit said, he had three cards in his hands all charged up. 'Come on chere, Gambit distract him, y' take him out.' Remy thought to himself as he threw another two cards at Avalanches feet.
"Cute." Avalanche stated. "But I have had enough of your magic tricks." He said as the ground beneath Remy began to shake, knocking him off his feet. Gambit tried to get to his feet, but the ground shook again, sending him back down.
He smirked to himself as he saw Rogue coming up from behind Avalanche. 'Keep dis guy distracted a little longer.' Gambit thought to himself.
Rogue walked quietly up to Avalanche, who was distracted by Gambit. She took off her glove and reached for him. She touched the back of his neck that was not covered by his helmet and immediately the quakes began to cease.
"Nice job, cher." Gambit said to her as he got his feet. Avalanche dropped to the ground unconscious, but not in a coma.
"Thanks, sugah." She replied to him. They both didn't notice Blob coming up from behind them, instead their attention was on the others. Mystique had sent Cyclops flying back into the mansion and knocked him unconscious. At the moment her and Nightcrawler were going fists to fists and it looked like he was tiring. Storm had been caught by surprise by Toad, who sent green goo at her face and she was trying to pull it off of her.
"Come on, let's go." Rogue told Gambit. They were about to go, when they were both grabbed by the collar's of their shirts and lifted into the air.
"Well, well, lookie what I found." Blob laughed as he threw the two southerners across the lawn. Gambit hit the ground first, then Rogue was thrown into him.
"Y' alright, chere?" He asked Rogue as she got off of him. Rogue nodded as she began to get up.
"Yeah, Ah'm fine. Just gettin tired of these guys." She told Gambit as she saw Nightcrawler had fallen to the ground after being knocked out by Mystique, he hadn't the energy to teleport himself away.
"Dis does not look good." Gambit commented as he stayed close to Rogue as Toad, Mystique, and Blob began to move in on them.
"Really wish Wolverine hadn't had Danger Room sessions today." Rogue whispered to herself as the three Brotherhood members moved in on them.
"This ought to be fun." Blob laughed as he made a fist with his hands.
"Never did thank you and the rest of the X-Men for dumping me in the lake. Though, me and the weather witch still have some unfinished business." Toad stated. "But she can wait until you two are down." He said.
"I got a idea, how about you losers get lost!" They all heard a female voice say from behind them. Blob began to turn, but a huge rock collided with his head. He wobbled a few steps before finally falling to the ground.
"You brats." Mystique growled as she turned to see the Scarlet Witch, Pyro, and Quicksilver standing there, ready for battle.
"Never did thank you for leaving us to die Mystique." Pyro said as he flicked open his lighter. "Allow me." He said as he sent a flame hurling at the two remaining Brotherhood mutants.
Mystique and Toad got out of the way before the flame hit. Rogue and Gambit had moved out of the way as soon as they saw the new mutants arrive.
"Whats-the-matter-Mystique, can-run-but-can't-fight?" Quicksilver taunted Mystique as he sped around her and blocked her way from escaping, again. There was no way they were going to let her run off.
"Been looking for you." The Scarlet Witch stated as she came closer to Mystique.
"Like I am really scared of children." Mystique began to chuckle at them, she stopped as soon as another flame came at her. She dodged out of the way again, but Quicksilver came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her to hold her in place.
"You're not going anywhere this time." Wanda came face to face with Mystique, who did not look intimidated.
"What are you going to do? Kill me?" Mystique laughed. "Your just as weak as your father."
The Scarlet Witch at this point had enough of Mystique talking and punched the blue mutant in the face. "No, I am not going to kill you. Just hope we don't meet alone though." Wanda warned her as Quicksilver released her.
Mystique fell to the ground and looked up at Wanda, who had her arms crossed. Behind her Pyro was glaring at her. Mystique got to her feet and got out of their site as fast as possible, she would deal with her team later.
Toad fell to the ground as Rogue used Avalanche's powers to shake the ground beneath him. "This is not fair." He began to complain. Everytime he got to his feet, she would take him down again.
Toad glanced over at Mystique and saw her retreating. 'I should of been the leader of the Brotherhood, not her.' He thought to himself as he jumped to his feet and jumped far away from both Rogue and Gambit. "Next time." He told them as he followed Mystique.
"Long-time-no-see." Quicksilver greeted the two southerners.
"I'm surprised ta see ya guys here. Why are ya here?" Rogue asked. She had thought they had gone back with Magneto, unless this was some sort of a trap.
"Mystique had left us to die in the warehouse when the Sentinels had attacked, we owed her. She better hope I never see her ugly face again." Wanda growled as she looked over at the direction of where Mystique left.
"We-were-also-hoping-we-could-sorta-stay-with-you-guys!" Pietro said quickly.
"Ah guess ya guys could stay here, we got more students, but Ah'm sure there is plenty of room." Rogue stated as she heard Cyclops get to his feet.
"Where did they go?' The leader of the X-Men looked around and saw Blob and Avalanche unconscious. "Good wor-" He began to say, then recognized the new mutants. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked.
"Nice to see you to." Pyro smirked as he placed his hand around Wanda's shoulder, she looked at his hand.
"You sure you want to keep that there?" She threatened him, he quickly removed his hand. Behind them they heard Pietro snickering to himself.
"They are my favorite soap opera. He loves her, she loves him, she won't admit it, she hurts him every chance she gets." Pietro whispered to Gambit and Rogue, who smirked.
"They were wonderin if they could stay here. They did help take out." Rogue stated as Cyclops looked over at the three youths.
"I will talk to the Professor, it should be alright. John was once a student and could come back anytime he wanted." Cyclops said as he rubbed his head, which was hurting at the moment. Storm walked over to them, she had finally released herself from the goo Toad had created.
"Let's go the infirmary." She said as Cyclops went over to Nightcrawler and picked him up. "You three, I shall walk you to the Professor's office to talk to him." Storm said, they nodded and began to follow her.
Gambit and Rogue stayed outside. "Y' alright?" Gambit asked her, the bandage was still on and it didn't appear to have reopened.
"Never better." She smiled at him. He smiled back at her.
'Guess now would be a good time to tell her.' He thought to himself. He had already talked to the Professor this morning and had already informed Storm, the hardest thing would be telling Rogue he was going to be leaving.
Just outside the gate of the mansion, sparks began to shower the streets as a figure appeared there. New Sun turned and looked at the mansion. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw two figures running away from the mansion.
'Then I guess that future I saw is true.' He thought to himself, having traveled ahead of time to see what would come of the battle and what would happen in the future. "But I can always change that." He smirked as he looked at the mansion.
