Chapter 2
Half an hour later the LeBeau's were now fully awake and met with their guests in the kitchen. "So what's on the agenda today?" Logan asked with a smirk as he sipped his coffee.
"Well I have a doctor's appointment at eleven..." Elena quipped as she gently squeezed Hunter's cheeks and kissed his forehead, "And you my sweet thief get to spend the day with your son...and that big kid over there..."
"Big kid...never thought of myself as a big kid...I'm more like..."
"An old geyser?" Remy smirked. "Pissed off old guy?" he continued.
"You're pushing it gumbo..." Logan growled as he finished his coffee, Hunter looked at Logan and giggled.
"You like ya uncle Wolfie hun?" Remy chuckled picking him up and tickling his little boy.
"Jean and Kitty should be arriving soon...The Professor wants to make sure that Elena and the baby are very well protected." Storm informed the small group.
Remy sighed at the thought, "What?" Elena chuckled.
"It always has ta be somethin'...every time I get a little peace in my life, someone always has ta come and ruin it...crap always has ta follow...we should just go a hunting Wolfie whata ya say?" Remy asked leaning his elbow on the counter and resting his chin on his palm, Hunter seeing his father mimicked his movements and held his head up with his hand.
Logan chuckled, "Love to Gumbo but we got orders from Chuck...no harm comes to any of ya..."
"This sucks..." he groaned.
"Yeah it does...but Scott, Chuck and Hank are doing whatever they can in finding those pricks..."
Remy chuckled, "Oh I'm sure dey are..."
"Alright enough talk about that...I got better things to do today..." Elena smirked, as she slowly stood and grabbed her bag, tickled Hunter under his chin, then grasped Remy's tilting his head back, "Meet us for lunch at Annette's?"
"Absolutely chère..." he answered then grinned as she dipped her head and kissed him lightly. Remy put Hunter down and watched as Storm and his wife left the loft.
"You ain't worried?" Logan asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Dat be a stupid question homme, dis here Cajun's always worried..." Remy sighed as he leaned back in his chair.
"What ya don't think 'Ro can take care of her?"
Remy chuckled, "I know Stormy ain't gonna let nothing happen ta her, anyways 'lena'll be safe with her especially if Jeannie and Kit Kat are goin' along..."
"Still I can smell it on ya..."
Remy chuckled, "Not da only ting ya gotta be smellin' phew what ya eat fiston?" Hunter giggled and ran off into the living room hiding behind a chair.
XxXxX
Elena was sitting in her doctor's office looking extremely bored and a little annoyed, 'Like I need three people to watch my every move in a frickin doctor's office.' She thought to herself. Jean suddenly smiled, Elena looked up then smirked, "Oh you did not just read my mind..." she scolded.
"Sorry, couldn't help it your subconsciously projecting your thoughts."
"Really, is it possible to get you to pee for me every twenty minutes?" she teased. The girls all laughed as the doctor came into the room, motioning for the mother to be to join her in her office. Half an hour later Elena came out with a smile.
"Good news?" Kitty asked, standing up.
Elena smiled, "Yeah now we get to eat..."
XxXxX
Logan smirked as he followed the Cajun and his son around town, "This what ya do with your time Gumbo?" he asked.
"Well ya see Remy usually works at night...but since 'lena been sleepwalking I put a hold off work and figured I do a bit o research during da day since I do have a few jobs lined up but now..."
"Ya got no choice but ta hold off til those psycho's are found...right?"
Remy looked down at his son as he held onto his hand, "Yeah..." he answered, picking up his boy and throwing him in the air and catching him as they walked through the park. Remy sat down on a bench Hunter on his lap, "Listen Wolfie...I can't just stay here doing nothin' while those creeps hunt down my wife...I can find those mutants faster than anyone...with all the contacts I got, wouldn't take me more than a couple hours..." he grinned trying to tempt the man beside him.
Logan sighed as he leaned back and glanced over at the Cajun. "I don't know..."
"Aw come on...last ting 'lena needs is ta worry if dose pricks get their hands on the baby..." Remy smirked, "'sides even if ya do say no, I'm gonna do it anyways..."
"I kinda figured that...but-a aren't we supposed ta meet da girls somewhere?" he asked feeling a few drops of rain landing on top of his head, and looked up at the dark clouds above them.
Remy chuckled as he unbuttoned his jacket, wanting to cover Hunter so he wouldn't get wet then suddenly halted in what he was doing as he sensed something wrong, Logan tensed up as he stood, "Rem..."
"Yeah...I know, dere are three of em..." he whispered as he clutched Hunter to his body, seeing a fireball hurled their way, Remy ducked and rolled to the ground protecting his son with his body, then seeing a few huge trees, he quickly ran towards them. Hearing the blast Hunter wailed clutching to his father, hiding behind the trees Remy covered Hunter's ears and wrapped him with his jacket, Remy tilted his head back spying Logan as he called for help on his communicator, unsheathed his claws and lunged at the approaching mutants. After a few moments Logan was hurled in the air, and landed against the tree Remy was leaning against, "Hey...ya alright there Wolfie..." Remy chuckled, while Logan groaned crawled beside the tree and sat next to the thief.
"Oh yeah those bastards are paying for it now..." he looked back towards the mutants who were laughing at them, calling him back to the fight, "How's the squirt?"
"Freaking out how the hell are you?" Remy asked as he picked up a few rocks charged them and handed them to Logan.
"What the...damn Gumbo..." Logan growled as he threw the rocks and sat back chuckling as the mutants all scattered and threw themselves to the ground.
"So dis what ya meant when ya said no harm comes to any of ya..."
"Don't start with me..." Logan growled as he again unsheathed his claws and ran back into the fight.
Remy cradled his son to him, "Shhh, little man...shhh ya all right...ya père not let anyone hurt ya..." he whispered as he rocked back and forth, rubbing his back. Then peeked at the fight, when he heard an explosion, spotting a few familiar faces and sighed when he heard a voice in his head.
Are you all right Remy?
Yeah sure Professor...how's Wolfie doin?
Oh he's yelling out to Scott and Beast that he doesn't need any help at the moment...
Yah right...don't listen ta him Professor... Remy chuckled.
I don't intend to... Xavier chuckled in turn.
A few minutes later Logan and Xavier walked up to the LeBeau's, while Hank and Scott tied up the captured mutant, "You two alright?" he asked.
Seeing the unasked question on Remy's face Xavier answered, "We managed to catch one of them..."
"Yeah well if ya hadn't showed up I would have managed ta catch all three..." Logan protested as he leaned against the tree groaning as it started to rain a little harder now.
Remy laughed as he sat up, taking off his jacket completely he then covered his still frightened son, kissing his cheek still cradling him to his chest. Suddenly he had a bad feeling, "Um...Professor, can ya contact Storm...I got a real bad feelin..."
Xavier's eyes widened a bit, "Yes of course..."
XxXxX
Storm and the girls laughed and chatted as they waited for Logan and Remy to appear at the restaurant, Elena thought couldn't wait any longer she was starving. As they ate Jean suddenly dropped her fork as the Professor spoke to her telepathically, "What the?" she held still, closing her eyes concentrating on the Professor's words.
"What?" Kitty asked as she looked around.
Jean's eyes opened as she looked at Elena in front of her, Elena's eyes suddenly went wide when she had stared passed the telepath and spotted a car hurled at the restaurant, everyone within the restaurant screamed trying to get away. Kitty grasped the Elena's arm as well as Storm's and used her powers to phase them, Jean turned and raised her hand stopping the car in mid-air. Pushing it back out of the restaurant, the four women all rushed outside then surrounded Elena. "Oho you have got to be kidding me..." Elena growled.
"Hi..." the woman with the ponytail smiled waving her hand.
Storm took to the air, while Jean using her telepathy threw and dodged the cars, lights, and street signs thrown her way, Kitty kept a firm grip on Elena leading her away from the battle keeping them phased at all times, one of the mutants with red hair spotted the two and lifted his palm sending three purple spheres their way Elena's eyes widened at the sight, the man only laughed and waved at her.
The mutants leader saw this and sent a burst of wind towards the spheres sending them past the two women then turned to the redhead and punched him in the face, "We need her alive you idiot..." he hissed. Kitty ducked still holding on to Elena and looked in horror behind her as parts of the street and pieces of a few buildings disappeared in a flash of light.
"Get me out of here..." Elena hissed, Kitty concentrated and smirked when they sunk down through the street and landed in the sewers, Elena looked around not too impressed, "Yeah like this is better...what's to stop them from pulling the street off from atop our heads."
"Jeez your picky, at least were safe for now...didn't Remy ever take you on dates in the sewers..." Kitty asked trying to lighten the mood and taking out a flashlight from her pocket as she led the woman through the murky tunnels.
"You find anything romantic in a sewer...Ewww, what the hell is that?" Elena asked as she backed off a bit as did Kitty then suddenly tripped, "Damnit..." she hissed as she was now covered in grime.
"Are you okay..." Kitty asked helping her to lean against the wall.
"Are you serious...jeez this day sucks..." she seethed as she looked herself over, "I'm not bleeding anywhere am I?"
Kitty looked the woman over then smiled, "No..."
Elena sighed as she looked around, "Alright lead the way..." she chirped.
"You mean you don't know your way through these sewers?" Kitty asked looking around.
"Don't start with me girl...I'm having a bad day..." Elena scolded.
Kitty smiled and grasped her arm, hoping they were alone in these tunnels.
Jean and Storm were very busy in fighting off the three mutants for some reason they just wouldn't stay unconscious when they were slammed against a wall or something.
"You will not lay a hand on her..." Storm seethed as she sent a massive bolt of lightning towards the leader.
Jean smirked when the cavalry finally arrived. Scott sent blasts toward the red haired mutant with the purple sphere power. Jean attacked the woman while Storm and Logan went after the leader. The three mutants quickly retreated, "Son of a bitch..." Logan yelled as he looked around the bastards had disappeared.
Remy seeing the coast was clear came out of the van, Hunter in his arms seeing no Elena he quickly walked over to Storm, "Where's 'lena?"
"Kitty is with her, last I saw them they fazed through the street into the sewers..."
"Ya have got ta be kiddin' me..." he groaned, handing Hunter over to Storm, Logan quickly went to a manhole cover and lifting it, Remy followed jumping down and grimaced at the murky water, "Which way Wolfie?" he asked.
Logan coughed out as he smelled around, "Damn it reeks down here..." he coughed again, "Come on this way..."
"Awww man my dove's gonna be mad when we find her..." Remy chuckled, and sprinted behind Logan, quickly catching up.
After running for about twenty minutes, they could hear arguing ahead, Remy breathed a sigh of relief, "What did I do to deserve this..." Elena whined.
"Well ya have been quite vicious lately..." Remy shouted out, Logan chuckled beside him.
"Who said that?" Kitty yelled back getting on the defensive.
"Relax half-pint it's us..." Logan chirped.
"Remy?"
"Yes dove ya alright?" Remy smirked as he, having night vision could see the look on her face very well.
"I'm in a sewer, her flashlight just died and I can see worth shit what do you think?" she growled, sounding like she was in a panic reaching out trying to touch a wall or something. Feeling a pair of hands on her shoulders she jerked back, "Please tell me that was you?" the hands cradled her cheeks and gave her a long deep kiss. "Hmmm that better be you..." she whispered with a small smile.
"Well I sure as hell ain't Kitty..." he whispered back, smirking as he saw her small smile, pulling her to his chest he held her tightly.
"Alright you two lovebirds want a moment alone, I sure as hell don't suggest staying in a sewer..." Logan quipped as he took out his flashlight, and pointed the light towards the two.
"Alright jeesh can't even enjoy a freakin moment here, so ya wanna lead Wolfie, if ya don't I will, I want my babe out of dis creepy place..." Remy chuckled his arms still wrapped around his love.
"I think you should lead pup, this here light don't light up much."
Remy grasped Elena's hand, Elena took Kitty's who took Logan's, Remy made sure to avoid anything that the three could trip over in the dark, dank grimy tunnel, ten minutes later Remy climbed up a ladder pushing a manhole cover out of the way, quickly turning to help his wife out. Elena took a deep breath, "Air..." she whispered, Remy chuckled as he stood her up and eyed her over.
"You all right darlin'?" Logan asked as he put the cover back.
Elena smirked "Oh yeah, nothing a shower can't fix..." then she looked at herself, "A long shower..."
"Come on dove...let's get ya home." Remy whispered.
XxXxX
Storm was preparing supper with the help of Hunter, Logan was outside making sure no one had followed them, Elena was taking a bath in their bathroom, while Remy took a quick shower in Logan and Storm's room, Remy now feeling refreshed walked into the kitchen just when Logan entered the loft. "Shower's free Wolfie..." Gambit tweaked Hunter's nose and ruffled his hair leaning down he kissed his son on top of his head then went to his room. "'lena?" he called out, Remy frowned when he didn't get an answer, knocking on the bathroom door he slowly opened it, "'lena...ya alright?" he asked as he looked at her, she was just staring out at the bubbles in the water as they slowly popped and disappeared. Kneeling down beside the tub Remy gently grasped her chin and tilted her head up.
"Hmmm?" Elena whispered, she hadn't even noticed he had entered the room.
"Ya okay?" Elena smiled and nodded her head, Remy knew she was lying resting his chin on the rim of the tub as he caressed the back of her neck, Elena closed her eyes savoring the feel of his fingers massaging her tense muscles, moaning Elena sighed as she leaned against his touch, Remy smirked and kissed her forehead. "Love ya..." he whispered.
Elena giggled "Really...how much?" she answered looking at him rather seductively, and leaned forward her chest now above water. Remy chuckled, as he dipped his head to capture her lips, Elena smiled wickedly as she jerked her head back, "You didn't answer my question my sweet little thief."
"As much as my heart and soul can give and more..." he whispered looking in her eyes Remy then hovered over the tub, and brushed his lips against hers, Elena moaned at the contact as she grasped his cheeks. Then leaned her head back giggling as Remy had dipped his arm in the water tickling her side, smiling Remy rested his forehead on hers, "Something's botherin' ya and don ya dare deny it..."
Elena sighed as she sunk back down in the water, "Remy I..." she groaned.
"What?" he asked. Elena huffed as she slowly stood out of the tub, Remy turned and grabbed her robe while she drained the tub and dried herself off. Tying it off she quickly walked past Remy and headed to their room and started straightening up, "Chère...come on dove talk ta me..." Remy sighed as he walked to her and grabbed the clothes she had picked up, throwing them in the bathroom. He then grasped her shoulders and turned her to him tilting her chin up, the moment their eyes met, Elena quickly looked away.
Sighing Remy grasped her hand and led her to the bed sitting her down he then turned off the lights, except the lamp by the bed, "Remy not now I'm tired..." she whispered, Remy then walked back to the bed coaxing her to the center, making sure she was comfortable "Remy, I don't want to play your little games..." she cried, Remy kneeled on the bed reaching out a hand to her cheek he leaned forward and kissed her lips softly then sat beside her gathering her in his arms.
"I know ya don't chère..." he whispered kissing her temple and massaging the back of her neck, Elena wrapped her arms around his frame resting her head against his chest, suddenly she just started crying. Remy held her tighter to his body.
"I don't want them to take my baby..." she cried.
Remy gently grasped her face tilting her head up Elena's bottom lip was still quivering as she continued to cry, "I ain't gonna let them..." he told her, brushing back her hair behind her ear, then kissed away her tears slowly rocking her cursing the bastards for making his wife cry. "Shhhh, don't cry dove...please don't cry..." he whispered, "I'll make them pay I swear I will...just don't cry..."
As he held her tightly and whispered in her ear, kissing her softly Elena seemed to calm a bit, "Okay...I'm alright now, panic's gone..." she smirked holding back her tears, then looked up, "Knew I married ya for a reason..." she smiled sweetly.
Remy smirked, "I'm at ya service my love..." he chuckled, brushing away the last few tears from her cheeks with his thumb then molded his lips to hers, Elena deepened the kiss and giggle when they heard a small tap on the door. Breaking the kiss they both looked at the door, and smiled when they heard a little voice.
"Aman..."
Elena's eyes softened at the sound, "Oho..." Remy grinned as he quickly got up and opened the door, Hunter looked at his father then his mother and ran over to her, Remy chuckled as he followed his son and helped him on the bed, Hunter crawled up to his mother and laid down beside her, Elena smiled and wrapped her arms around him, "How's my little boy?" she asked kissing his forehead.
"Tink he's had a long day..." Remy whispered, as he covered them both with a blanket, kissing his cheek and her forehead. Remy left wife and son to rest while he went to the kitchen.
"How is she?" Storm asked as she set the table.
"Pissed and scared..." Remy answered as he leaned on the counter, tilting his head back. "And she ain't da only one..." he frowned, "I'm about ready ta go find this bastard who wants her and da baby so much..."
"I know how ya feel gumbo but it's better if ya..." Logan tried to talk him out of it but was cut off.
"She cried Logan...I don' like seeing her cry..." Remy growled and started pacing.
Logan quickly stood up, "Hey relax alright they'll be found...we got one of them remember...Chuck will find out who they are and who they work for, so calm the hell down alright the last thing we need is for you to go all psycho like last time..."
Remy bowed his head in trying to calm down, "If I see those bastards again, I swear ta god Logan, there ain't gonna be nothing left of them..." he growled, as he went back to his room.
XxXxX
That night everyone was sleeping soundly in the LeBeau household, Remy groaned as he was suddenly woken up, feeling extremely tired he reached out for his wife, his eyes snapped open when he felt nothing but air and sheets, sitting up he looked over at the bathroom, then started freaking out when he knew she wasn't in the room, bolting out of bed Remy rushed into the hall, then screeched to a halt as Elena was standing in the living room, slowly calming down Remy took a deep breath as he approached her, smirking as he stood in front of her.
Logan had his arms wrapped around Storm's waist as they slept soundly in their room, they were jolted awake as they heard a blood curdling scream, "What the..." Logan rushed out of the room his claws unsheathed then stared out at Elena as she struggled against Remy screaming at the top of her lungs for someone to help her.
"Oh my...Remy..." Storm approached.
"Stay back..." Remy warned as he held Elena's wrists in front of her, hugging her body close to him, desperately trying to calm her as he spoke softly in her ear.
After about ten minutes Remy was now sitting on the floor Elena still in his embrace now crying softly as exhaustion started to take her, Remy held her tightly, "You two really need ta talk ta Chuck about this Rem, I ain't fucken kiddin...that actually scared the hell out of me..." Logan whispered as he was sitting on the couch watching the two, while Storm tried to put Hunter back to sleep. "Even if ya say no I'm still calling him over..." he told the Cajun.
When Elena had finally fallen back asleep Remy gently picked her up, and laid her on the couch covering her with a blanket, as he was about to get up Elena's eyes fluttered open. "Re-my..." she whispered as tears freely rolled down her cheeks.
"'lena..." Remy gently lifted her by the shoulders, sat on the couch and hugged her to him. "Ya alright?" he whispered.
She shook her head no as she clutched his arm, still crying. "No more..." she whispered.
"I ain't waiting I'm gonna call Chuck something's wrong I can smell it..." Logan growled as he picked up the phone.
About half an hour later Logan let the Professor, Jean, Scott and Beast into the loft. Xavier wheeled himself in front of the LeBeau's, Remy was still holding her in his arms, Elena though was staring at the floor still clutching to her husband. "What happened?" Beast asked.
"We don't know she just started screaming for someone to help her...she's been quiet like that for the last fifteen minutes..." Storm answered.
Remy glared at Xavier who gave him a small smile, "Logan told me that she started sleepwalking around three weeks ago...Remy I need to get in her head, may I?" Remy seeing that he had no other choice slowly nodded, Xavier laid a hand on her forehead and closed his eyes as he started to concentrate. The X-men surrounded the couch and stayed silent, the Professor's eyes suddenly snapped open, frowning he looked to Remy, "How strong are your shields?"
"What?"
"Your shields...are they secure?" Charles pressed, Remy only looked at him confused.
"What da hell does that have ta do wit anything?" he growled.
"It has a lot to do with what she's been seeing...Remy you're unintentionally projecting your past memories in her dreams..."
Remy's face quickly paled, "Non..." he whispered.
"What did you see Professor?" Jean asked curiously.
"Remy being torture by Sinister...for a brief moment I even felt your pain Remy..."
"Jesus..." Remy had a hand to his mouth, "She saw all dat..." he whispered, "Ya mean ta tell me she fuckin' felt all dat..."
"Remy?" Storm knelt down beside him.
"No wonder she screaming..." he whispered as he held her tightly.
"Whoa...what are you talking about Professor?" Scott asked.
Charles sighed. "Remy...even thought you always keep your shields up and strong when you sleep a few old memories might sometimes slip through, and since Elena is the closest one around she end's up seeing what you've gone through..."
Remy closed his eyes and sighed as he slowly sat up and laid Elena down on the couch. Covering her with a blanket that was laid on a chair, Remy made his way outside he needed some air leaning his head on his hands Remy sat on the steps. Sensing the Professor behind him Remy looked at the trees surrounding the property, "This starting out ta be a nightmare..." he growled. "I can't evah get away from him…" he whispered.
"You just need to train yourself Remy..." Charles laid a comforting hand on the Cajun's shoulder, "I'll help you..." the telepath tried to assure the thief.
XxXxX
That morning Remy was rocking Hunter in the living room, Elena's eyes slowly fluttered open, a smile graced her lips when she noticed that father and son were in the room, looking around she was now a bit confused as to why she was sleeping in the living room with four new guests in the kitchen, "Remy?" she turned too him.
"Sleepwalking again..." he answered plainly, "Why didn't ya tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"That ya dreamed of my past...and don't tell me ya can't remember...no way ya forget somethin' like dat..."
"I-I don't know, I guess I figured if I'd forget about them they would go away and never come true...I didn't want to think of you like that, your too sweet and gentle to be made to suffer like that..."
Remy smiled and kissed Hunter on the cheek, then stood and sat beside his wife, Hunter between them, "But it did happen dove...can't change dat, scars may still be there and I still get nightmares but dat was a long time ago...even before I joined up with them..." he tilted his head towards the X-men in the kitchen. "I'm sorry ya had ta see all dat, I didn't mean ta let dose thoughts slip through, I thought my shields were strong enough...Professor helped me strengthen them, they shouldn't leak out again..."
Elena wiped the few tears that fell then leaned forward and hugged her husband tightly. "I love you..." she whispered evoking a smile from Remy.
Hunter laughed and clapped his hands as he was now being squished by his mother's belly, "Aman..." he giggled, as he rested his head on her tummy. Elena looked down and kissed the top of his head.
Remy chuckled as he tilted her head up to gaze in her eyes. "Ya all right?" he asked still a bit concerned, Elena nodded. Remy then smirked, "Now here's a stupid question...Ya hungry?" at that Elena laughed.
