BlkDiamond – He's over Rogue. I have nothing against ROMY but…just not my thing. This chapter is about how Remy and Liz set the stage to turn Sinister and Xavier against each other as vengeance for trying to sabotage their relationship. Hope you like!
Chapter 3 – Vengeance Part 1
After another eventful morning at the Essex lab, Remy and his wife tessed over to the mansion and separated.
Xavier found Remy playing poker with Logan. "Are you enjoying the married life, Remy?"
"Oui, it be da best." Remy answered.
"And spending evenings with Essex?" Xavier added.
Remy shrugged. "Not as bad as y't'ink." He flipped over his cards. "Remy enjoys botherin' da crap outta him. Now, what was bad f'Remy was an incident dat involved yellin' da wrong name during sex!" Logan chuckled at Remy, while the Professor just looked at Remy with a shocked look on his face.
"Gambit, Danger Room, now!" Scott yelled. Remy grumbled and followed him to a training session, grinning to himself when he passed his wife in the hallway. He groped her rear end as he passed and winked.
"Remy, Liz, Please!" The Professor said, not wanting to be around for the seductress's manipulations.
Liz smiled at the Professor. "Professor?"
"Yes, Liz?" The Professor said, trying to mask his general distaste for the newest Lebeau. Something about her bothered him to death; he was sure that it went beyond the fact that she was the only known living biological offspring of one of the world's greatest villains.
"I need some relationship advice." She said, sincerely smiling at him. "Our marriage is still so young, we had our first fight recently."
"Alright, Elizabeth," Xavier said as they made their way down the hall.
"Hey Xavier, remember the last time we were in your office at the same time?" She said.
"At the same time?" He said, nervously. "When were you in there that I was not?"
"What? I meant 'the last time we were in your office.' You really are so suspicious of me!" She said innocently, aware she'd made the older man somewhat anxious. She sat across from him and leaned over the desk. "Well, you see, Remy recently screamed Rogue's name out during a particularly rough bout of sex." That much wasn't a lie…everything after that? Playing with Professor X. "I'm really worried that Remy has some mental scars from her. I mean, I hate to even admit this, but it was heavy bondage and he kept asking me to hit him, over and over!"
"Elizabeth?" The Professor said, frustrated that he couldn't use his powers against the Essex girl OR Remy because of their mental shields. "Please tell me this is a joke!" He did think it was probably true, since Remy did mention the incident, The Professor decided to approach it as a legitimate problem. "Well, first of all, I think that maybe you need to talk to Remy about why he feels…like he needs to be dominated." The more he thought about the entire situation, the more believable it seemed. Liz had a definite evil streak, and if Remy felt that need, she would be a good candidate. "Well, if I wanted someone to beat the crap out of me, I'd seek out an Essex too!"
"Hey Professor? You said that out loud." Liz stated, shaking Xavier out of his thoughts. "What would make him feel like that? The other day, I walked in on Remy laying on top of my father, breathing really heavily." She telepathically shot him the memory, nearly knocking him out of his wheelchair. "And then that night he totally asks me to abuse him!"
"It makes sense." The Professor said. "Your father abused Remy, so he craves abuse and…your father. I believe Remy's secret passions may actually be for his father-in-law; you may very well just be a vehicle for that desire." The Professor played the two-second long memory again and shuddered. "I will speak to Remy about this. Meet me here tomorrow at nine in the morning?"
"Sure!" She kissed Xavier lightly on the cheek and scampered out. "Thanks!"

"Remy, I'd like to see you in my office." The Professor said, calling Remy up to speak to him. "Remy, are you alright?"
Remy shook his head. "Nat—Dr. Essex keeps putting da moves on Remy!" He looked up at Xavier with a frightened look. "Remy's tryin' hard t'keep it a secret so Lizzy don' get hurt, but he's gettin' real aggressive!" Pretending to suddenly be uncomfortable, Remy stood up and ran out, meeting Liz in the hallway.
"Remy feels dirty." He said as he followed her into the tesseract.
"Yeah? It's worth it." She said. "So, we'll be in a romantic cottage on an island this weekend while all hell breaks loose here. It's really brilliant." Kissing him, they separated and began work on the next stage of vengeance against the two men that broke them up temporarily.
Sinister was like a sitting duck for his daughter. "Daddy, can I talk to you?"
"Of course, sweetheart." He looked up from the microscope and smiled as his 25-year-old daughter sat in his lap and put her arms around him. "Is something wrong?"
She batted her lashes as she looked down. "I cheated on Remy, Dad." Liz leaned back and rested her head on his chest, crying uncontrollably.
"Darling, please do not cry…just tell me what happened." Essex said, shocked that she would do such a thing, heartbroken by her pain from doing so.
"I went to go see the Professor about some problems Remy and…Remy just makes me so mad I wanna hurt him sometimes…" She broke off and started crying, so Essex rubbed her back. "I fucked the Professor!" She yelled, as if confessing her greatest sin. "I don't know what happened…it just…did." Sinister held his daughter and thought for a moment. The Professor had been very willing to help him prevent Remy from marrying Liz, saying it was to protect Remy. He didn't go to such great length to protect Remy on any other level, at any other time. "For me, I don't know. I didn't feel anything, just lust. But he…he seemed like he'd wanted me for so long!" She kept sobbing as Sinister felt his anger skyrocket by the second. The Professor and Liz? It made so much sense! He'd wanted to keep Liz from Remy, but for his own selfish motives.
Sinister held her while she cried, then walked her back to her room, where she promptly fell asleep. 'Theatrics are exhausting!' She thought to herself as she fell asleep.
A couple of hours later, Sinister ran into Remy, only to see a massive black eye. Really, it was dye injected into the muscle tissue that would fade in a few hours, but Sinny didn't know that. "Remy, what happened?"
"Not'ing!" Remy replied. "Ain' important." He said, his eyes flickering worry and a bit of fear.
"Yes, it is." He said, firmly. "You are married to my daughter and I expect you to be good to her."
"Fine." Remy muttered. "She's getting' abusive."
"Remy just makes me so mad I wanna hurt him sometimes…" Sinister remembered what Liz had told him earlier.
"She hit you?" Essex asked, knowing it was true. She put some ice in a bag and handed it to Remy. "Is something wrong with Liz? She has been acting so strangely lately."
Remy nodded. "Remy don' know. Da Professor's been fillin' her head wit all dese ideas Remy don' really agree with." He sighed. "She goes t'talk t'him for a long time durin' da day while we're at da mansion. Always comes back real mean an' angry. Remy's real worried 'bout her. Remy's gonna go see da Prof at nine tomorrow."
"I know, Remy. I am too." Sinister said, briefly sharing an interest with Remy. "I talked to Liz earlier…I'll go speak with Charles." Remy nodded and walked out and went to the bedroom he shared with his wife.
"Dat was easier dan Remy t'ought." He said, laying on the bed as she kissed him.
"All our stuff is packed, all we have to do is block the computers so Daddy can't find us and we are all set!" She pulled a disk out of her desk and put it in, typing furiously for a few minutes and then opening a tesseract. "Turtle Island, here we come." Liz and Remy kissed one last time and disappeared.
Needless to say, the next morning was going to be eventful for the two former conspirators.
Next chapter: Xavier thinks Remy and is totally screwed up in the head and that Sinister may be secretly seducing him. Sinister thinks the Prof screwed his daughter, who he believes has become violent and frustrated. In the next chapter, it all hits the fan.
