LET'S GO

At this point Remy was definitely more than a little baffled at the scene before him. Who was this woman Marie called 'momma' so affectionately and how did she find them? Sure he wanted to get off of the island, but he was just starting to make some progress with the beautiful woman he ended up stranding himself with. Also, the fact that she had stated that she was taught all of those lethal things she knew by this woman, did linger in his mind as he stared at the two.

Marie on the other hand was more than happy that her 'momma' had come to rescue her from this island. She never in her life thought that she would ever be able to find her. For the first time in her life she really wanted to head back to civilization and to her home. This solitary life was nerve racking, especially with that nearly naked, smirking cajun stranded here with her, constantly attempting to find a way into her pants even with the knowledge of her powers. The man was simply relentless. She didn't mind the attention, but even with the ability to control her powers, she did not feel comfortable nor trust herself. Marie had only learned to control her powers a few months before she had crashed on this island, and she had her fair share of accidents in those few months. In fact she was a bit tempted by him, not that she would dare admit it, but she refused to follow suit in that temptation. She was stronger than that, and she would not let him win.

Mystique, however, looked at the problem at hand. She knew what the man behind her was planning on doing, and was ready to give him what for once he was in a close enough range, but once she was sure that she had found her daughter, she didn't care. Mystique hugged Rogue and was just happy that she had found her. But she had a sinking suspicion about what may have been going on between her and the man behind her. She wasn't able to get a full view from the trees, but what she could see before they noticed her was enough to get her blood boiling. This man was trying to take advantage of her daughter, and Rogue was allowing it. How long had they been on this island?

"Momma, how'd ya fahnd us?" Marie asked once she pulled back from their embrace. The word us took Mystique by surprise. That was not a word that was used lightly, Mystique had taught her everything she knew, including being self-sufficient. She had not been looking for anyone other than Rogue. In fact, she could easily leave the man here.

"I have been looking for you for days, my dear. As soon as your plane did not land, I made many phone calls and what not in attempt to find out what happened. Come to find out, the last anyone ever saw of your plane was with the police after you." then she moved to whisper into her daughter's ear.

"I thought maybe something with the mission had gone wrong." she told her sternly.

"No, momma, nuthin' went wrong. In fact, it was a waste of time." just then Marie turned towards the man watching the two.

"Momma, this was mah...pilot." she told her hesitantly, not knowing what information she should really divulge.

"That's nice, my dear, but we should really be going. It was luck that I even found this place. It's not even on the map. I have a boat not far from here." Then Mystique proceeded to grab her daughter's wrist and was about to walk back towards the forest when Marie yanked her arm back.

"No momma. Ah ain't leavin' him here alone."

Mystique was fuming, as she narrowed her eyes at Marie. Then she turned back to the forest and made her way through it. Marie knew she wasn't going to hear the end of this, but she ran and grabbed Remy's clothes from the ground and threw them at him, rushing to catch up to Mystique. Remy was almost in awe of the scene that played out in front of him. Marie had stood up for him, even after everything. He quickly grabbed his suitcase and made his way to follow the two women as he put his clothes on along the way.

It wasn't some great ship, but it was enough to hold the three of them. In fact, it was like a little yacht. These women were definitely not the type to go without. As soon as they were aboard, Marie knew her way around and jumped on the chance to get a shower, leaving Remy with Mystique. Remy kept himself expressionless, but Mystique definitely wanted to speak with him.

"Do you know who I am?" she asked him blatantly once they started moving, but Remy didn't answer, knowing there was more to her question.

"I know who you are." Remy smirked.

"It's da eyes, non. Dey always give me away." he replied slightly sarcastically.

"Of course, the man with devil eyes down in Louisiana. There isn't much that people in my circles don't know."

"What's ya point?" Mystique closed the distance between the two and narrowed her eyes at the man before her.

"My point is, that whatever you think you had with my daughter ends now, or you don't get to leave this boat in a good way." she nearly snarled at him.

"Don't think dat da femme enjoy dat too much." Mystique laughed as she backed away from him shifting into his own form.

"What Rogue doesn't know, won't hurt her." she told him mimicking his own smirk. Knowing full well that he understood what she meant, she shifted back into her natural form and began to walk away from him but then paused mid-step.

"We will be docking in a few hours. From there I can make sure you have a plane going where ever it is you need to be going, as long as it is away from Rogue." and then she left to make sure that everything was running appropriately.

Marie had just exited the bathroom wrapped in nothing but her towel when Remy walked in. He stared at her entranced by her beauty. She felt someone's eyes upon her and turned as she went digging to find some clothes that she would feel comfortable in. Marie smiled at him gently as she moved some of the wet hair from her face.

"There's still some hot water in there if ya lahke. Ah bet Ah can fahnd some clothes that would fit ya too." Fighting back the urge to ask her to join him with her crazy mother in the boat somewhere, he just nodded and smiled back. He walked into the bathroom and slowly closed the door behind him making sure to get one last good look at her before he shut the door.

Once he had finished his shower, he returned to the room a little bit disappointed to see that Marie was no longer in there, but that she had left him some clothes on the bed. Not trusting himself not to cause trouble, he decided to just lay down and rest on the bed after he dressed himself. He didn't mean to actually nod off, but sleep over took him anyhow. Once he woke up he noticed that the boat was no longer moving. He slowly sat up in bed, when he noticed something next to him. It was a large envelope addressed to him. As soon as he opened it, the sapphire fell out, but there was a letter in there also.

Remy-

Sorry about this, but you looked so comfortable. Couldn't bring myself to wake you. There is an airport a few blocks from here. Just give them your name and they will take you where ever you need to be. If they give you any trouble, give them the name Darkholme.

Rogue

:-) ;-) :-) ;-) :-)

Thought about ending it here, but I won't. That would be wrong. But I do believe the next chapter will have them meeting again. :-) Hope you enjoyed it.
