NodNarb – It is my honest belief that, in this position, these characters would be cursing, probably a lot more than in my portrayal of them.

Chapter 7 – Victory…or Not

Sinister entered Xavier's office and realized that something was wrong. Or right. Whatever it was, he was out of the loop. "What's going on?" He said, noticing Remy and Liz sitting on the couch, Liz nestled in Remy's arms.

"Remy and I decided to take things back into our own hands." Liz replied.

Sinister looked at Xavier, who shrugged. "Liz found out."

"Uh-oh." Sinister said.

"What's wrong, Daddy? You look like a child caught with his hand in a cookie jar." Liz said, an infuriated but detached look on her face.Sinister cringed as Remy's tongue laced the inside of Liz's ear, making her giggle. "I can't stay mad at you, not now."

Remy and Liz held up their hands to reveal wedding rings. "Marital bliss, non?" Remy said, smirking oh-so-triumphantly at Sinister, who felt the long lost urge to blow Remy's face off.

"NO! I was supposed to walk you down the aisle!" Sinister said, feeling very upset.

"That's right." Liz said. "In the wedding that should have taken place a month ago. You totally forfeited your right to do that when you entered into a conspiracy to make me unhappy." She leaned on Remy and kissed him just to spite her father, then grinned.

"Wait…you two are not mad at one another?" Xavier asked.

"Non. Mon épouse and I are mad at you two bastards." He kissed her again. "Dat right, Mrs. Lebeau?"

"Yes, yes it is." They stood up. "We're going on our honeymoon, and when we come back, things are going to be different. Don't even think about trying to pull this bullshit ever again. Am I clear?"

Xavier quickly nodded, Sinister sat down and looked around the room blankly as Remy and Liz walked out of the office, leaving the two men alone.

"At least we got them back together." Xavier said.

"I hate Remy. So very much." Sinister said. "If I killed him, do you really think Liz would hate me forever?"

"Probably." Xavier replied, trying to suppress laughter. "Didn't we set out to keep them from getting married?"

"Yes, we did." Essex said, defeated. "Then we tried to get them back together, then we screwed everything up worse, and now they have eloped. Suffice to say I genuinely regret having interfered in the first place."

"In other words, Liz is going to be angry at you for awhile?" Xavier said, laughing. "The great Nathaniel Essex, defeated by the moody glares of his daughter! What say you?"

"I blame this on you, fully and completely." Sinister sighed and opened a tesseract. "I need to brood. I sincerely hope you enjoy reveling in my suffering."

The End.

I hope you enjoyed. Check out My Reasons II, where Sinister tries to adjust to having Remy as a son-in-law!
