Chapter 3
After breakfast Xavier returned to the Blackbird to interrogate their prisoner, with Jean and Scott. "I'm not telling you anything…" the man hissed.
"You don't need to speak for me to know…" Xavier answered calmly as he approached the mutant.
"You wouldn't do that it's not your way, our boss said that you won't enter my mind unless I let you…"
"That is true…but your boss intends to take something that is not his…I will not allow him to take that infant away from its parents."
The mutant snorted and spat on the floor, "Not like your going to find out much, the only one who's met our boss is our leader…"
"Well then there's no harm in you answering a few questions is there?" Scott walked behind the mutant and crossed his arms.
"Ask me what you want I'm not going to answer…" he hissed as he watched a girl step forward.
Rogue approached the mutant and slipped off her right glove, the man showed no fear as she brushed her fingers on his left cheek. Rogue closed her eyes as she witnessed the last days events seen from the man's eyes, what frightened her though was the man's leader as he came out from an alley apparently just getting his orders from their boss. Looking to the alley Rogue noticed a shadow and gasped as she opened her eyes. "Oh god…Scott ya need ta get to Elena ya need ta protect her…"
"What did you see Rogue?" Charles asked.
"Remy's not going to like this…" she whispered, as she told the Professor who she saw.
"Remy needs to be told…" he sighed.
"But Professor…" she started to protest.
"No…I'll have Logan tell him hopefully he'll be able to keep Gambit in line."
"I'll go tell Logan…" she offered and stepped off the Blackbird. Bobby following at her heels.
"So we're gonna meet Gambit again…" Bobby sighed.
"Not now Bobby, this is serious…" she drawled as she took flight, Bobby sighed as he got on one of the motorcycles on the Blackbird and sped off towards Remy's home.
XxXxX
While Storm, Kitty and Elena were in the kitchen. Logan eyed Remy from the kitchen window as he gently pushed Hunter on a swing outside pouring two cups of coffee he slowly made his way to the thief, even though Remy seemed alright at first glance anyone who really knew the thief could tell that he was definitely pissed. "Hey Gumbo…how ya doing?" he asked handing him the extra cup and sitting in one of the other swings.
"M'alright…" he answered, as he sipped at the coffee pushing the swing as it swayed back to him. Hunter kicked his legs and held out his arms as he smiled and tilted his head back staring at the leaves on the trees.
"You know you really suck at lying pup…" Logan chuckled.
Remy sighed, "I'm quiet…I'm calm, ya really want ta get me started on this?" he asked, knowing very well that the man wanted to talk about either what had happened that morning or about the people who were after his wife.
Logan chuckled, "No…just askin' pup…" he answered and kept his mouth shut.
"Ah papa…" Hunter started fussing as he quickly kicked his legs and waved his arms. Remy chuckled as he downed the rest of his coffee giving the cup back to Logan. He pulled Hunter out of the swing and held him in the air.
"Oh he's grumpy…yes he's grumpy…" Remy cooed as he then cradled him in his arms, "Are ya still grumpy?" he asked kissingHunter's cheek.
"Oui…" Hunter giggled.
"Ya are…ya can't be grumpy…uncle Wolfie's da one who's supposed ta be grumpy…"
Logan eyed the Cajun, "I am not…" he drawled.
"Yeah you are…" Remy answered then looked back to his son, "He really is…"
"Am not…" he repeated.
"Are too…"
"HI…" Hunter chirped as he noticed a woman entering the yard.
Remy frowned as he suddenly sensed someone then tilted his head, holding onto Hunter a bit more protectively. "Hi Remy…" Rogue gave a warm smile and a little wave to Hunter.
"What are ya doin' here darlin'?" Logan stood up.
"The Professor asked me to come…if he can't get any answers from the guy you captured, then it's up to me to see what he can't…" she answered plainly, avoiding eye contact with Remy.
Bobby entered the yard nearly hitting into Rogue, "Hey…" he turned to Logan and chuckled, as he saw the swings behind the feral. "Wishing you were a kid again Logan?"
"Shut-up snow-ball…" Logan growled then turned to Remy who was heading back inside the loft.
He turned to Rogue again, "I need to tell you something…" she whispered.
Remy sighed "Like I need anymore trouble goin' on in my life…" he breathed as he leaned Hunter on his shoulder and entered the loft, putting Hunter on his feet Remy took off his jacket and went into the living room then sat in the recliner leaning his head back he closed is eyes a few moments later he felt a tug on his leg. Looking down Remy chuckled Hunter was trying to lift himself to sit with his father as he held a bottle Remy held out his hands and helped his son to climb, Hunter leaned against Remy while sucking on the bottle making himself more comfortable Remy watched as Hunter slowly closed his eyes.
Elena smiled as she entered the living room then looked at her husband a bit oddly, "Remy?"
Remy looked up, "If she comes in here, do not get violent dove…ya might hurt yourself…" he smirked. Elena quirked an eyebrow in question.
"Remy what are you talking about?" Storm asked.
"Little Roguie's outside…" Remy answered plainly.
"Is Logan with her?" Storm asked as Remy nodded.
A few moments later Logan entered the loft alone, "Why did she come here?" Remy asked eyeing the man.
Logan shrugged, "Wanted to see how you were doing…"
Remy smirked, "So how am I doin'?"
"Well you look a bit on the pissed side but not as much…" Logan chuckled, "Hank and Scott should be here in a little while, when they get here you're coming with me pup we need to have ourselves a talk…"
Half an hour had passed, Scott and Hank were in the kitchen chatting with the girls.
Remy had a small smile on his face as he leaned over Hunter's crib running his fingers through his hair, kissing his head Remy silently left his boy's room closing the door behind him, he then strolled into the kitchen and smirked as he grabbed his trench coat "Alright come on gumbo…" Logan chirped. Remy followed the feral to the door, but not before brushing his lips on his wife's, and with an evil grin he pinched her rear, Elena yelped and glared at her husband then grabbed a dish towel and threw it at him. Remy chuckled as he quickly ran out of the door and closed it behind him. Logan waited for him at the bottom of the stairs with a smirk, "I take it you'd be in deep shit if she wasn't pregnant?"
"Of course…that's what's so fun about pesterin' her she always gets even…when ya least expect it." Remy chuckled, "So what ya want ta talk about wit this here Cajun?" he asked as they started to walk down the street.
"You know the guy we caught…" Logan asked then tried to think of the best way to deliver the news to Remy. "Well Chuck didn't have much luck in finding out who his boss was…" he paused.
"But?" Remy quirked an eyebrow.
"Well…don't know if I should tell you this pup…"
Remy frowned as he stopped walking and glared at Logan, "What?"
"It's Rogue…she knows who it is and you're not gonna like it…"
"So spit it out…" he growled, then tensed as he sensed someone he thought long since dead, shaking a little Remy turned to the cruel chuckle.
"You didn't actually think you could kill me off that easily did you?" Sinister chuckled, "I was extremely amazed that you were able to injure me in such a way…it took me some time to heal…"
"Why won't you fucken die…" Remy seethed. Logan grabbed Remy's arm pulling the thief behind him and unsheathed his claws.
"My boy…language…" Sinister smirked as he took a step forward.
"I ain't your boy…" he growled.
"Of course you are…which would make your son my grand-child…I'll give you a choice dear Remington…give me the baby the moment it is born and I'll let you keep your son…"
"Over-your-dead-body…" Remy hissed taking out his cards.
"We ain't letting ya take anyone…" Logan warned.
Sinister grinned "Ah yes I've heard from the new group of mutants I've procured that you had come to protect what is mine…" then looked to Remy, "You either give the child to me willingly or I'll take it by force when it is time it's your decision Remington…"
"Go to hell…" Remy hissed, as he threw his cards.
Sinister lifted his palm and put up a shield to protect him from the blast, which knocked him back a few steps, his hands lowered seeing this Logan lunged forward, Sinister stepped back and dodged the feral's claws with an evil grin, gathering his strength he backhanded Wolverine sending him crashing to a wall, Remy using his Bo staff vaulted over the psychotic doctor landing gracefully behind him landing a few kicks and punches Sinister turned to find six glowing cards at his neck, locking eyes with Remy, Sinister wrapped his arms around Remy forcing him to lean forward. "If this is your decision then it is too late she is already in my possession…" Sinister laughed as he kicked Remy away from him and opened a tesseract then stepped through. Remy threw his cards away and slowly stood, Logan looked to the thief as a huge explosion destroyed half the wall behind the Cajun, breathing heavily Remy then sprinted back to the loft.
XxXxX
"Elena please sit down…" Storm scolded as she sat her down at the table.
Elena sighed as she gave up on cleaning her house, "You people are unbelievable bossing me around in my own house…" she grinned, "Fine go ahead…clean it…" she smiled receiving a few chuckles. Then frowned when she noticed smoke come in from the windows, "What the…" she whispered.
Hank's eyes went wide at what he saw, "Quickly Kitty get Elena out of here, Storm get rid of the smoke…" he ordered falling to his knees as his eyes slowly started to close. Kitty grabbed Elena but before she could do anything she fell to the floor, as did Scott and Storm. Watching from the window a young boy with dark blue hair gave a wicked grin as he slowly took his hand off the window, the pores in his hands could secrete a type of sleeping gas, seeing that the X-men were not moving he nodded to his leader who entered the loft and carefully picked up the pregnant woman.
XxXxX
Several minutes later Remy and Logan arrived in a rush Remy slammed his shoulder in the door nearly breaking it off it's hinges, his eyes widened as Scott, Kitty, Hank and Storm were groggily trying to get to their feet coughing.
"Non, non, non, non, non…" Remy growled as he fell to his knees he couldn't sense Elena anywhere.
Logan entered, "Shit…" he hissed.
Hearing a small cry Remy quickly scrambled to his feet and rushed into his son's room, gently picking Hunter up Remy slowly walked into the hall leaning against the wall he entered the kitchen, Storm saw him and approached. Remy glanced at her and put his crying son in her arms. Remy was now seriously pissed he had no clue where to start looking he just couldn't think straight, taking slow deep breaths he focused on the voices of the people talking around him, Scott and Kitty were arguing, Storm was trying to calm a frantic Hunter, Hank was trying to clear his head while Logan was behind Remy watching him carefully as he spoke to The Professor on the communicator, he didn't notice the thief palming a blade and hiding it in the sleeve of his coat, Remy frowned as he suddenly heard Rogue's voice with Xavier's. His head snapped up, "Rogue…" he whispered, 'She was here to see what Xavier could not…the captured mutant…' Remy quickly stood up straight and left the loft.
"Remy where are you going?" Logan yelled out, "I'll talk to you later Chuck…" he told the Professor as he followed the thief. "Remy…where are you going?" he repeated.
"Blackbird…" Remy answered.
"What…" Logan thought for a moment, then it hit him. "Rem…that mutant doesn't know where Sinister's hiding out…he never met him the only one who's met him is his leader…"
"He knows where his leader is…he won't talk I'll beat it out of him if I have ta…"
"Remy…we can't just torture the guy…"
"You can't I can…I've gone through it so many times it's about time someone else suffers, not me…not again…" he growled.
Logan grabbed him from behind, and slammed him against the wall, "Rem…that's not how we do things…and you know it." Logan growled, Scott and Kitty quickly caught up with the two.
"I'm not an X-man, remember…" Remy pushed Logan off him, "I can't lose her…" he seethed and continued his way back to the jet.
"What's going on?" Scott asked.
"Remy's going to get some answers…that's what…" he growled as he rushed after the thief, Scott and Kitty followed.
Charles was deep in thought, frowning at their prisoner as he wouldn't keep quiet, "Shut-up will ya…" Rogue growled then turned to the Professor, "Now what do we do, what if Remy loses it again?" she asked.
"Professor…Logan just called Remy's on his way…" Jean spoke up.
Charles sighed as he was about to answer, he looked to the open hatch, "He's already here…" he whispered, Bobby and Rogue stood up straight. As they watched a furious Gambit calmly walk up the ramp and make his way to the prisoner, the moment their eyes locked Remy slammed his fist in the man's face knocking him and the chair he was tied to the ground, "Where is ya leader…so help me homme I swear I'll kill ya slowly if any harm comes to ma femme…" he spoke calmly.
Scott and Logan were about to grab Remy but Charles quickly lifted a hand yo stop them.
The man just laughed, "Oh please…X-men don't kill besides ya hit like a girl…"
Remy grinned as he grabbed the man by the front of the shirt and sat him upright again, "I ain't no X-man…and I know ya boss very well…I used ta be one of his little experiments…" The man suddenly stopped laughing he'd never met Sinister but he had heard all the stories, "Sinister right?" Remy continued.
The man swallowed hard, "You touch me and you'll never find her…"
"I don't have ta touch ya ta hurt ya homme…did ya boss forget ta tell ya that I be an empath…and dat my powers have evolved and gone all crazy these past few years…tanks ta them?" he gestured to Charles and the others, Remy grinned at the look on the man's face, leaning forward Remy was now nose to nose with the man. "I can project all my pain and suffering to anyone I want…which means ya see and feel everything I send…have ya heard 'bout my life story homme?" Remy hissed. "Did ya know dat Sinister tortured his experiments…just ta see how much pain dey can endure…and guess what homme I-was-his-favorite…trust me ya don' forget pain like dat…" The man actually started to tremble as he listened. "All ya have ta do is answer one question where is ya leader…he has my wife…if ya can't answer me dat then you sir are shit out of luck…"
"Y-you won't h-urt me…" he stuttered, trying to act brave.
Remy stared at him, "Ya really want ta take dat chance?" He asked resting his hands on the arms of the chair, the man looked down as he could feel his skin start to burn, "If I have to I'll take ya apart piece by piece…ya won't die from blood loss, da flame will cauterize the wound…we'll start wit ya hands dan ya arms…ya feet, legs…I warn ya now homme dis will hurt…" Remy calmly spoke as he continued to stare at the man's eyes, feeling his fear.
"Alright…alright…I'll tell you everything…" the man panicked.
"Where?" Remy asked again.
"Across town, there are warehouses beside the swamps number thirteen…there's a tunnel that leads underground…we stay in the warehouse while our leader goes to the tunnel…that's all I know I swear…" he cried. "I swear…" he repeated as he noticed Remy quirk an eyebrow. Standing up Remy turned and left.
Logan's eyes went wide, "Remy the chair is still charged…"
Remy continued down the ramp "Yo point being what?" he seethed ignoring the rest of Logan's rants, Kitty rushed to the screaming man and phased him out of the chair, while Jean using her powers lifted the chair and threw it out of the Blackbird, the explosion rocked the jet with such force that everyone within fell to their knees.
"We have to stop him Professor." Scott slowly stood.
"Rogue follow him you're our only hope if he loses control…Logan call the others back here, tell Storm to leave Hunter with his grandfather…Scott prep the jet the moment the others arrive head for the warehouses…" he frowned, "I've had quite enough of all this…" Xavier whispered.
XxXxX
Remy went back to the loft and palming his keys he got in his car and sped off towards the warehouses the man was talking about, as he cut his way through traffic, swerving past the cars and people. Remy had his teeth clenched as thoughts of Sinister plagued his mind. Knowing very well that Rogue was following him from the air.
Half an hour later Remy had crashed the car through the metal gate surrounding the warehouses, parking the car outside the one with a big red thirteen painted on it, Remy then walked to it taking out his cards he began shuffling them out of habit and put them away again, kicking open the small metal door. Remy narrowed his eyes as he entered and four mutants quickly sat up from the small living room and rushed towards the Cajun, Remy took out six charged cards and threw them at the mutants, their eyes went wide as they leapt out of the way covering themselves so they would be protected from the blast. Remy ran to the first mutant, which had the purple sphere power slammed his knee in the man's gut and punched him in the head, sensing movement behind him Remy then retrieved his Bo staff twirling it in his hands he tripped the first who's power was the fireballs as she approached from behind him and slammed the end of the staff in her stomach then Remy swung around kicking her in the head, she fell back and slammed in the nearest wall and fell limp to the ground. Remy then turned and jabbed the other end of his staff in the other woman's neck she fell to the ground gasping for breath, Remy then back flipped and threw three charged cards towards the blue haired kid who was heading for a hidden door in the floor intent on going to warn their leader.
"Don't bother getting up…" Remy hissed as he kicked the teen aside and kneeled down pulling open the hidden door and climbing down the stairs, Rogue rushed into the warehouse and gasped checking the mutants, thankfully they weren't dead, just badly beaten, noticing the open door in the floor she quickly made her way down the stairs.
Remy ran down the corridor as silently as he could, looking around with a trained eye to see if he could spot any type of security which there weren't, spotting at least a dozen doors lining up the corridor, Remy quickly checked each one, hearing a whisper behind him Remy turned and glared at Rogue as she flew up to him, "Wait up…" she whispered.
Remy lifted a finger to his lips telling her to keep quiet as he continued his search, arriving at the last door, Remy frowned as he heard voices within and looked at the lock on the door there was a simple keypad, but something annoyed him about it taking his hand off the door Remy put away his Bo staff and looked around, not seeing what he was looking for he then entered the door to his right looking throughout the room Rogue looked at him curiously, "We already checked this room…" she muttered, Remy again hissed at her to keep her mouth shut as he climbed on top of one of the counters, pulling away a grate he hoisted himself up and crawled down the vent, Rogue sighed as she followed him, "What the hell are you doing?" she asked in a whisper.
Remy stopped and turned to her, "Da door was rigged now shut da fuck up…if not get lost…" he growled as he continued. He halted as he approached the next grate and looked down through the slats, he could see the leader hovered over one of the beds, Remy frowned a bit as he slowly removed one of the slats to get a better view, his eyes widened as the leader stepped back a little, Elena was lying down on one of the beds unconscious, breathing a bit heavily, her left cheek seemed a bit red and swollen, and she had a few bruises around her neck and wrists, apparently she had woken up and fought back, Remy's eyes narrowed when the leader leaned down and ran his fingers through her hair and caressed her cheek and neck. He quickly looked to his left as Sinister arrived.
XxXxX
"How is she faring?" he asked.
"The sedative was extremely quick…" he answered with a grin, "She's got a good right hook for a pregnant lady…" he chuckled massaging his jaw. Sinister approached and examined the bruises she received during her struggle.
XxX FlashbackXxX
As the leader was carrying her down the corridor she had woken up and began struggling, he had nearly dropped her as she fought to get away, he put her down and grabbed her left wrist, Elena was furious as she reared back and punched the man, the leader stepped back and wrapped his hand around her throat, as she gasped for breath he forced her on her knees and grabbed her wrists with his left hand holding them behind her back he then wrapped his right arm around her chest and lifted her up forcing her to walk forward.
As they entered Sinister's lab, seeing the fear, hate and anger in her eyes he smirked as he approached with a syringe, "Good of you to join us my dear…" he grinned.
"Don't you dare touch me…" she growled and tried her best to fight back kicking at the scientist, but was quickly subdued tears streamed down her face as she watched the needle pierce her skin and the liquid drain from the syringe to flow through her veins.
XxXEnd FlashbackXxX
"Good now I'll need you to gather a few things for me…" Sinister instructed as he left the room with the leader in tow, Remy slowly pulled on the grate, and carefully climbed down, Rogue followed and went to the door to make sure they weren't coming back.
Remy slowly pulled back the blanket that covered her and looked his wife over, "She looks alright…" he whispered, checking her pulse.
"Okay how de we get her out of here?" Rogue whispered back. Remy quickly looked around, going to one of Sinister's computers he typed in a few commands searching for a few moments, Rogue looked at him confused, "What are you doing?"
"Sinister documents every thing, I'm trying ta find a file on her to see how much and what kind of drugs he gave 'lena…" Remy snorted when he found the file and read it quickly. "Normal sedative…and not a whole hell of a lot, she'll be out for like twenty minutes…" he grinned as he rushed to the door and examined it, taking out a few of his tools he dismantled the alarm and went back to the love of his life and quickly picked her up.
As Remy carried his wife down the hallway Rogue at his heels he froze when he heard someone walking down the corridor, looking around he ducked in one of the rooms, Rogue slowly closed the door and listened, Remy looked down as Elena was slowly waking up, moaning in her sleep, Remy quickly sat her down on the floor leaning her against a wall, Elena moved her head around as her eyes fluttered open, her last memory of being stuck with a needle still fresh in her mind she began flailing her arms and crying out Remy quickly grabbed her cheeks and stared at her face to try and keep her quiet, Elena froze as she recognized those gorgeous eyes, "Remy?" she whispered, Remy grinned and kissed her deeply.
Breaking the kiss Remy took a deep breath and chuckled softly, "Bettah be Remy…" she cried as he pulled her to him, kissed her temple and cradled her to his chest resting his right cheek on top of her head, Elena wrapped her arms around his shoulders and bit down on his shirt to keep from crying. "Ya alright my dove?" he whispered nearly crushing her body to his.
"Yeah…" she breathed, "What took you so long?"
"Had ta find a sitter for Hunter, ya have any idea how hard it is ta find one on such short notice?" he rasped. Elena laughed and buried her head in his chest, Remy leaned back and grasped her head again, "Ya tink ya can stand…we really need ta get ya out of here…" Elena quickly nodded her head as Remy picked her up and set her feet on the ground, "Need ta keep quiet alright…" he whispered kissing her lips softly and brushing away the few tears that had rolled down her cheeks, Elena took a calming breath and nodded her head.
Remy wrapped his left arm around her right and led her to the door, peeking out he then led her up the corridor back to where they had fought the mutants, Rogue followed closely behind the couple. Remy froze as he heard arguing up the steps, not wanting to chance his wife getting hurt, Remy took a detour and followed his senses finding an elevator, the three quickly entered, Remy pushed a button and quirked an eyebrow when the doors opened minutes later, they were now outside facing the swamp, looking around Remy carefully stepped out, Rogue took to the air and looked around motioning to Remy that the coast was clear.
After walking for a few minutes Remy's alarms began to ring as he felt something was definitely wrong, turning he gently pulled Elena behind a tree and kissed her neck as he hugged her again, "Now you two stay here for a minute alright?" he smirked as he laid his hand on her stomach, "I love you…" he whispered.
Elena smiled as she rested her hands on his then leaned up and brushed her lips at the side of his mouth, "Don't take too long…" she then whispered, resting her forehead on his shoulder. Remy promised he wouldn't and gently pushed her to lean against the tree, then rushed off to seek out what he feared.
Sinister growled as he walked on the grounds his mutants searching the woods, he didn't seem too pleased, as he turned to his favorite subject who just walked out of the woods, "You are beginning to irritate me Remington, where is the woman?" he growled.
"Like I'd tell you…" Remy hissed as he palmed the hidden dagger as well as two cards behind his back. Sinister quirked an eyebrow as he stepped forward, Remy immediately went on the defensive and bent his knees a little watching every movement Sinister made.
"Now Remington you don't actually think that your little tricks can work on me do you?" he asked as he walked to the Cajun, Remy quickly looked behind the scientist, Sinister glanced behind him seeing Rogue as she crept up behind the doctor, Sinister smirked as he lunged forward wrapping a hand around the thief's throat, Remy lifted his hand fisting two glowing cards, Sinister halted Remy's fist in the air, "The child will be mine Remy…" he hissed.
"Ovah your dead body…" Remy hissed as his eyes flared up and he dropped the cards, Sinister stared at the cards as they slowly floated to the earth and disintegrated into ash, Remy moved his right leg kicking out Sinister's knee, Sinister wrapped his other hand around Remy's neck and tightened his hold on the thief, Seeing the man was now distracted in trying to choke the thief, Remy took out the blade from his sleeve charged it and slammed it within the scientist's neck pushing it in until you could no longer see the blade, Sinister growled as he released the thief and clasped a hand to the wound trying to get the blade out, Remy rolled, quickly got to his feet and ran off at a safe distance, he then looked behind him to see Sinister still struggling a few seconds passed and Nathaniel Essex was no more, as there were now pieces of him everywhere.
Although Sinister was now gone his followers were still around, hearing the explosion they rushed over to the spot and began fighting with the thief and the untouchable.
Hearing an explosion, Elena gasped as she slowly walked up the trail fearing for her husband she grasped at the trees nearby. As the mutants fought Elena breathed a sigh of relief as she leaned against a tree and watched Remy as he rammed his elbow in the man's neck while charging two cards and threw them at another mutant that approached, Rogue had grabbed two mutants and took to the air dropping them in the murky swamp, Elena winced as she saw them drop down, suddenly an explosion was heard as the blue haired mutant had arrived and threw a grenade, Rogue who had seen this flew down to the teen who had another in hand, narrowing her eyes she made a fist and hit him in the face.
Remy frowned as he sensed his wife nearby slamming hispalm in the leader's nose Remy turned and spotted Elena beside a tree.
When Rogue hit the blue haired teen he fell back a dozen feet, the grenade dropped from his hands and rolled away. Suddenly everyone was thrown to the ground, dust clouded in the air.
Remy rolled to his stomach and ignored the pain he felt at the moment and lifted his head, looking at where he had seen his wife, "No…" he yelled out as he spotted her floating in the waist deep water, Remy quickly stood and ran into the water rushing to his wife, turning her over, he gasped at the bruises adorning her face and body, blood trickled from her forehead, as well as from the huge gash on her chest where some shrapnel had imbedded itself, with a shaky hand he caressed her left cheek, "'lena..." he whispered his voice rasped as he started breathing heavily, walking to the shore with his wife in his arms, Remy fell to his knees as he laid her down on the ground, staring at her face which was deathly pale.
