X-Mansion- 3a.m.

Logan had been drifting in and out of sleep for the past three hours now in the rec room. The television was blaring, but he didn't seem to notice from the couch. He hadn't felt like going up to his room to fall asleep, and there only being two hours until he woke up the kids for a extra early Danger Room session. There was no point of getting comfortable.

He was brought to full alert when he head the phone ringing next to him. 'Who the hell is callin this early?' He grumbled to himself as he reached over and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" He said into the phone, not at all happy about this person calling. He didn't bother with the whole, 'Thank you for calling Xavier's School for the Gifted."

"Hi, is there a Stormy there?" He heard what sounded like a little girls voice.

"Are you looking for Storm?" He asked the person. He had heard the name 'Stormy' be used by one person, but that person was a he.

"Um, sure." The little girl replied from the other line. Logan pressed a button that would connect the girl to Storm's room.

'Let her deal with this kid, I'm goin back to bed.' Logan thought to himself as he hung up the phone and relaxed back down into the couch.

Storm was awoken to the sound of her phone ringing. She opened her eyes and reached over to take the phone, not bothering to sit up. 'Goddess, who is calling this early?' She thought to herself and she placed the phone by her ear.

"Hello?" She said into the voice piece of the phone. There was no answer, until a few seconds later.

"Hi, are you Stormy?" Storm heard a little girls voice say. By her guess she would say that the girl had to be no older than ten and no younger than six. The thing that surprised her was what the girl had called her, 'Stormy.'

"Hello? Who are you?" Ororo asked as she sat up in bed. 'If this is Gambit's idea of a joke, to wake me up in the middle of the night. No one on the planet will be able to save him when I get done with him.' She thought to herself.

"Hi, I'm Sarah. I was bored so I went through this address book I found and started calling. You're the only person that has answered. Do you know there is no cartoons on this early in the morning?" The little girl said cheerfully.

"Whose address book did you get this number out of?" Storm asked, ignoring the second half of what the girl had asked. 'Please tell me Gambit didn't have a kid. Then again, judging by the age he would of had to of been fourteen if he had a child. He would of told me also.' She thought to herself.

"I got this out of Mr. Gambit's phone book. Oh, I'm go, nice talking to you Stormy!" The little girl said as she hung up the phone.

Storm sat in her bed, not knowing of what to say. 'There's something that doesn't happen everyday.' She thought to herself as she placed the phone down and laid back down. "But why does Gambit have a little girl staying with him?" She whispered to herself. "Maybe this means he will be visiting shortly?" She asked herself before drifting back to sleep.

-New Jersey 6a.m.

Remy LeBeau had gotten to sleep a short while ago. These days his nightmares still plagued him, but now they seemed to be not as often as before. He still had nightmares of what had happened down in the tunnels and of working for Sinister. He had rented a apartment with some of the money his adopted father had sent him.

He had not heard the door to his room squeak open. "Remy." He heard a female voice say, but did not wake up to acknowledge it.

"Remy!" He heard the voice say again, this time a bit annoyed he did not wake up. He felt a hand tug on the sheet that covered him. "Wake up!" He heard a shout. He opened a red on black eye to see a little girl with pink hair standing beside him. The girl had little bones sticking out of her face and longer ones down her arms.

"Petit' go back to bed." He told the girl, but she refused to move.

"I'm hungry and so is Dirge." She told him as she shook his shoulder.

"Den open de door and let him go hunt a bird for breakfast." He whispered to the girl as he tried to go back to bed.

"Eww, that's disgusting." She made a face at him. "Come on get up, please." The girl gave him a pouty lip when he turned to look at her.

"Why is Gambit such a sucker for belle femme's?" He asked as he sat up in his bed. "I'll be dere in a minute Sarah." He told her. Sarah smirked and left the room.

He smiled as he watched her leave. She didn't seem like the little girl he had found three months ago.

Flashback

Remy had gone down into the Morlock tunnels. The bodies were no longer there, but spots of blood still clung to the walls. He shivered as he looked at it. It had been his fault that these people were dead. If he had gotten more control over his powers or refused to do what Sinister had said, they would still be alive.

"Who are you?" He heard a voice from behind him. He had turned to see the little girl he had saved when the Morlock Massacre had gone on. He had taken her to a safe place and left her there, not knowing of what happened to her.

As soon as she got a closer look at him she recognized him.. "Your that man that saved me, aren't you?" She asked. Her clothes were torn, dirty, and old. In her arms she held a rag doll that's head was falling off.

"Oui petit'." Remy answered as the little girl began coming closer to him. He felt even worse seeing her. Because of him, she lost her family and her friends.

"Are you from the upper half?" She asked quietly. "Mommy had always said that those people are mean and are beautiful. You look like your from up there." The girl told him.

"Y' here all by y'rself petit'?" He asked her. 'Of course she by herself, thanks to y'.' He cursed at himself.

"Yeah, mommy and daddy were killed when those people came and killed them and everybody else. I came back here, until a month, I think it was a month. These people came down here and found everyone else and took away their bodies. They have not returned since." She told him.

Remy could feel his heart break. This was no place for a child this young and considering he was responsible for what had happened, he owed her. "Why don't y' come with Gambit, petit'? He promise to take care of you.." Remy said as he bent down and extended his hand. "He promise nothing else bad will happen to y'." He swore to her. He was suddenly getting de ja vu from this scene from when he was younger and Jean-Luc had offered him a home off the streets.

The little girl looked as his hand and slowly made her way over to him. 'He is the one that saved me from being killed by their hairy monster, he can't be that bad.' The girl thought to herself as she came closer. 'I hope.' She added to herself as she took his hand. "My name is Marrow, or you can call me Sarah, what's yours?" She asked him.

"Remy." He answered with a half smile.

End of Flashback

He could tell she didn't fully trust him at first, and he didn't know if she trusted him still. But at least she was able to try and live a better life. When they had exited out of the sewers, he had draped his coat over her, to protect her from other people's view. If they saw she was a mutant, it would start major trouble.

He had driven her to New Jersey, with a car he had 'bought', since he had a friend that could hook him up with a nice apartment. As long as he payed the bill.

Remy got up from his bed, wearing a pair of pants with no shirt. He made his way through the door and then to the kitchen. He found Sarah sitting in a chair at the table and a black, brown, and white cat sitting on top of the table. About a month ago he had found a stray cat on the street when he was doing a 'job', the cat rubbed against his leg and started to follow him. He had told it to go away, but it kept following. He finally decided to keep the cat to give Marrow some company. "I gave him some milk earlier, but I think he wants something to eat." Sarah said as she petted the cat.

"He's always hungry." Remy commented as he went to the shelf and pulled out a box of cereal and placed it on the table next to the cat. The cat sniffed the box.

"Thanks Remy." Sarah said innocently as she began eating the cereal, which had been too high for her to get.

"No problem, petit'." He told her as he went to get some coffee.

"Can you tell me about the pretty lady again?" She asked him.

"Gambit told y' last night and de night before dat." He told her as he sat down on the opposite side of the table.

"But I want to hear about her again." Sarah whined to him. "I love hearing about the pretty lady with brown hair and white stripes that also has the most beautiful emerald eyes." Sarah began before she sighed. "I wish I looked pretty like her." She said sadly as she looked down at her arms.

"Y'r just as beautiful." He told her. She nodded, but she had a hard time believing that when she looked into a mirror. There was a reason why her family had stayed in the Morlock tunnels, it was because they didn't fit in with the world and never would. When she was even younger she had wanted to see how it was on the surface, and now that she had been able to, she felt worse. She knew she would never look normal like everyone else.

"What was her name again?" Sarah asked as she decided to change the subject as she munched on some cereal and gave Dirge a piece. The cat licked the cereal.

"Her name was Rogue." Remy said with a smile. 'Never did get around to calling mon cher.' He thought to himself. He looked over at Sarah as she was eating. 'Mebbe goin back to de mansion wouldn't be such a bad idea. Sarah could use de experience with her powers, mebbe dey be able to help her control dem. Plus can see how chere is doin.' He thought to himself.

X-Mansion

"Okay that should do it." Scott Summer said as he looked at the security system that he and Kurt had installed. "It is connected to Cerebro, it should tell us whenever someone enters onto the property." He said to the blue mutant standing beside him.

"Das gut, now we don' need to vorry about any more attacks." Kurt said with a smile. The past few months hadn't been that bad. They did have some problems with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and also Magneto had formed a new ground called the Acolytes, but they didn't have too many problems with them.

"Someone has entered onto sector C6." Cerebro began to say.

"Vhat's sector C6?" Kurt asked Scott, who shrugged and pulled out a map of the mansion.

"It is the front door." He answered.

Ororo went to the door to answer it. She opened it up. "Hello, how may I help-." She began to say, when she recognized the person standing there. "Betsy it's so nice to see you." Ororo said as she opened the door wider to let the woman with purple hair in. Her eyes were watery and she looked as if she hadn't slept in some time.

Ororo closed the door behind her. "Is there something wrong, child?" Ororo asked as she placed a hand on Betsy's shoulder. She had met the woman years back when Warren had come for a visit to introduce his new girlfriend. Just then Scott and Kurt entered into the room.

"Betsy, nice to see you." Scott said with a smile as he went over to the woman. "Is Warren here also?" He asked as he hugged her. He and Warren had been friends for a long time. Warren had even lived in the mansion for a short while, before his father died and he went to take over the family company.

"No, that's why I am here." Betsy whispered.

Scott pulled back and got a good look at her face. "What's wrong? Did you two break up?" He asked her.

"There is something wrong with him. A few months back he had gone to New York to do a job for his company. When he returned he was distraught. Apparently he and a few of his employees had gone into some tunnel. They were told that it would be a good space for a apartment garage for a new building he was going to put up here. When he went down, these people attacked. They killed his employees and when they found out Warren had wings they ripped them off his back." Betsy told them, a tear running down her face.

"He returned a few weeks later, but wasn't the same. I told him at least he was alive, but he ignored me and told me that I don't know what he was going through. He won't listen to me. That's why I came here, I was hoping maybe you could knock some sense into him. I am afraid he might do something." She whispered to Scott.

"I'll try and talk to him." Scott reassured her. As soon as she told him that Warren had lost his wings he had gone pale. He knew his friend loved his wings and would be extremely upset. 'I just hope he will listen to me.' He thought to himself, knowing his friend could also be very stubborn when he wanted to.

"Thank you." Betsy said to him as more tears came down her face.

"Ororo, why don't you show Betsy to the extra bed room." Scott said to the white haired woman, who nodded.

"Come, this way. Kurt why won't you come with me." She turned to her boyfriend, who smiled.

"Of course." He said as he introduced himself to Betsy.

Scott watched as they left.'I will have to try and talk to him or maybe have the Professor talk to him.' Scott thought to himself.
