I am so sorry for not getting to this story for so long. I had other obligations to take care of, but that is all done. Here is the latest chapter.

"Ah hate him Sugah, he cheated on me and made me feel like shit. Ah don't wanna see him anymore. Can't we tell him to leave?"

"Marie, we can't do that at all. You were sent to pick him up, and bring him here. There is nothing we can do. We will just have to make the best of it for the weekend. Once Monday arrives, we will be heading to Michigan and away from him. Now lets get back inside before everyone starts to worry about us?"

"Oh alright, you win. Ah hope ah can avoid him for the rest of the week."

"If you want me to, I will put him through the simulator to see if he has any worth to be an X-Men. What exactly is it he does?"

"He charges things and throws them, almost like bombs really. Honestly, he would be quite the asset to the team."

"Ok, why don't you go to the rec room and see what they guys are doing, while I go and set up a simulation for him and have him try it out?"

"Alright sugah. Don't have too much fun with it."

"Never, see you later on darling."

With that Scott took off to the simulation room to get everything ready for Remy. Marie went to the rec room and noticed the children playing various games with the guys. She walked over to the couch and sat down to watch the TV. She grabbed the remote and was surfing through the channels before Speed Channel came on and all of her friends were on.

"Hey all, Marie has Speed on, lets watch it."

Everybody heard Jamie's statement, and ran to the TV and either sat or stood to watch. Jamie and Kasey sat on either side of Marie so they could be the ones to get the brunt of what was going to be said on the air. John Roberts came up to Scott and was just starting to interview him.

"Now, I am talking to the up and comer Scott Summers. Scott was this what you expected it to be when you started out?"

"Actually John, it was more than what I expected. I never thought I would have so many friends with the drivers and so quick. Ryan has made me feel right at home with his car and his friendship. I would also have to thank Professor Charles Xavier for basically raising me when I had no one to do so for me."

"Who is this Professor Xavier?"

Marie looked at the guys with a horrified expression on her face. Jamie wrapped his hand around her shoulder, and Kasey grabbed her hand in his to make her feel ok.

"He is the head of The Xavier School for Gifted Children. If all of you kids are watching this, I am personally inviting all of you to watch this race live on Sunday. I would also like to thank my wife and son for their continual support in the choices I have made. Marie, Alex, I love you guys to death. Thank you."

"Well, there you have it. An invitation for the kids to come and see him race, and a declaration to his wife and son. Oh, congratulations on getting Rookie of The Year."

"Thanks John."

That was it with the interview. Marie let a well needed long breath of air out her lungs, and heaved a sigh of relief. The kids were all running around the room, excited for finally being able to see a live race in person.

"Marie, he wasn't going to publicly announce to the world what kind of school this really is. He knows the consequences of doing so. I have an entire suite of rooms for the kids at the track so they can view the race without being found out. It's up to you if you want to have them at your disposal."

"Thank you Kyle. Ah greatly appreciate it. It would be good for them to get out of here for a while and just be themselves. Ah accept your proposal and hope it's for the best. All of them will arrive in The Blackbird so they won't be a spectacle."

"Sounds good. Now boys, lets get back to keeping these kids entertained?"

Marie went in search of Charles. He knew she was looking for him and let her know that he was in his office. She then went there and walked in without knocking, knowing that he was aware it was her.

"What can I do for you Marie?"

"Well, ah have thought things out, and if you want, ah don't think there would be a problem if Remy were to become one of us. Ah already know you heard about Scott's interview on TV and think it's a great idea to have them out of here for a while. It will be good for them to see things that they only dreamt of. Ah was never really a fan of stock car racin, but, all the drivers here have gotten me into it, and their families have accepted Scott, Alex and ah, and well, the rest of you for who we are. It warms mah heart."

"I am glad that you feel that way Marie. I had petitioned to be a sponsor on Scott's car for a few races, and he has accepted this, and so has Ryan. I hope that soon, we can go out in the open about ourselves and not have to worry about any of the lingering FOH or the Government."

"Ah feel that way as well Professah. Ah got all the answers ah need, ah will be leavin now. Thanks again."

"Anytime Marie. You are like a daughter to me, and I will grant you anything that you may need within reason. I do have something to ask of you though."

"Anything."

"Now, don't get me wrong here, but when I do end up passing on, I would be honored if Scott and yourself were to take over for me. If you want, I will have Hank find a way to transfer all of my powers to you without you touching me. Scott has enough on his hands right now and doesn't need the extra burden of being telepathic and such. Think this over, and let me know."

"Ah don't know what Scott is goin to say about this, but ah wholeheartedly accept your offer, both of them actually. Ah feel that ah am more needed here than with Scott on the road all the time. If at any time you would like to retire, and Scott is still on the racing circuit, and has no intentions of quittin anytime soon, go ahead and transfer your powers to me, and help me out with Cerebro, and then give me the reigns to the place."

"Alright, I will keep that in mind. And the retiring thing actually sounds better than doing everything right before I die. I will let you know."

Marie smiled then left the office. She then went to the simulation room to find Scott immersed in making a program suitable for Gambit. She stalked quietly up to him and swept her leg in the air and knocked Scott on the floor. Scott then leapt up and got into fighting stance. After he noticed that it was Marie, he eased up and gave her a scowl.

"I should have heard you come in here. You have too many advantages over me. Almost done with the simulation. If you want, go ahead and call him in here and I should be done in a minute. Get him suited up and in the room, waiting for me to start."

"Alright sugah."

Gambit showed up after he was paged to the room, got suited up, and went in. His ass got whupped, but he put up a great fight. He was then sent paperwork to fill out to join the elite club. It was late evening when everybody went to bed. It was the start of the race weekend tomorrow.

Scott woke up with a light heart and hopes on getting the pole and winning the race for the kids. He noticed that Marie was already up and about. He got himself ready for the day. Everybody was waiting for him in the dinning room. Once breakfast was done, they all took off to the track. Ryan went out 6th and got himself the pole right away. Scott went 13th and ended up getting the outside pole. They all had the day off on Saturday to do what they pleased while the Busch drivers went out to race. When it came to race day Sunday, everybody was pumped. The kids were in the suites waiting for the green flag to drop. Marie was in the pit box with the crew chief talking to Scott. Scott had the night before said his intentions of staying with racing for quite a few years after this one. Marie had went to Charles to let him know that she will be ready when needed to take over for him. He had let her know that it would be a few weeks before that was going to happen. Now she sat in her spot relishing the feel of it. Alex sat next to her with a headset on so he could talk to his mom and dad. He was the happiest kid around, or so he thought. Having a dad who is a rookie legend on the track was something to behold. On the last lap of the race, Scott had narrowly missed a wreck up front to come out the victor. The celebration after his winning the race was huge. All the kids were let in victory lane to congratulate him, and then left to get back to the school.

"That was a great race Scott. Didn't know you had it in you for road courses. Looks like with this win, you are going to bypass me in the points. Since I suck at these races."

"Oh come now Ryan, you weren't that bad. It could have been worse."

"Yea, could have."

"Lets get home Marie, we need to get some sleep before heading for Michigan in the morning."

"Sounds good tah me Sugah."
