Xavier's Office
Xavier looked up from his desk as Logan closed the door behind him. "You wanted to see my chuck?" He asked as he went to sit down in front of the desk.
"Yes, first off I would like to say it is good to have you back." Charles Xavier started off saying as he folded his hands on the desk.
"Yeah, well couldn't leave the kid here by herself. How has she been? I could tell she was lying to me earlier when she said everything was ok. What is going on?" Logan demanded.
Charles sighed before speaking, this was not going to be easy. He knew that Logan was protective of Rogue and would get very pissed off to learn that most of the other children in the school were afraid of her and made sure they were far away from her as possible. "Well, since you left, she was fine. Then Jubilee had left also. Bobby and her were still together, but from what Kurt, Scott, and Ororo said, they were drifting apart." He started to explain.
"Who broke up with who?" Logan asked as he lowered his hand to the side of the chair and made it into a fist. 'I swear if he broke her heart, I will kill him.' He thought to himself, then started to regret it when he saw Xavier give him a disapproving look. "Sorry." He apologized.
"That is quite alright. As I was saying they were drifting apart, some of the students were beginning to get to know Rogue, then we got a new student here." He explained.
"That one blonde girl, right?" Logan asked in bit of a snarl.
"Yes, Carol came to the school. She seemed to make friends with everyone very quickly, except for Rogue. Ororo told me that she had found a note in her class from Carol to Bobby saying that Rogue had planned to break up with him, but it could have been from any of the students. Soon after the students began to reject Rogue. Every Friday some of the older students would go out and would leave her by herself, when she was with Bobby she would go. From what Scott said, they told her she couldn't come because they were afraid she would absorb them from the tight space in the car." Xavier said sadly.
"That's a bunch of bull." Logan snorted as he clenched his fists even tighter and trying to keep his thoughts to himself for now.
"Yes I know, since then the only people she has talked to are the teachers and Jubilee calls her up every now and then. These past few days though, I have noticed her mood has changed though. I don't know what it is. Kurt said he caught her talking to someone, but there is no one there. I am scanned her mind when she has slept and found there is nothing wrong with her. Though I did catch a glimpse of her dream and found her and a young man together." Xavier told Logan.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "She told me that she had a crush on someone. Was it someone from this school?" He asked Xavier, who only shook his head, no.
"I don't know if she saw a picture of this young man or has made him up in her imagination, but that is her own business and I will not question her about it." Xavier said to Logan.
"So what about that Carol? I heard her in the kitchen threaten Rogue, why haven't ya done anything about her?" Logan asked, annoyed that the girl didn't even seem a bit fearful of him when he told Carol to back off. He didn't like the thought of Rogue being in the same building or even state with someone who could cause her harm. Although Magneto did live in the state, but he knew she was protected against him within the mansion.
"Carol has caused some problems lately. She is on warning. I do not wish to throw students out of this school, but she may be the first if she doesn't start behaving. I have tried to talk to her about why she keeps causing Rogue problems, but I keep getting the same answer. She claims that Rogue had threatened her. I didn't have to read her mind to know she was lying." Charles said sadly. He didn't like the thought of one of his students in distress, but there was little he could do. He couldn't force Carol to get along with Rogue.
"If she knows what is good for her, she will keep away from Rogue. If that girl starts trouble for Rogue, I will deal with her personally." Logan warned as he got up from his chair to head for the door.
"Logan, that is not the way we handle things around here." Xavier said.
"It is if she causes Rogue anymore harm." Logan explained as he exited the office. Xavier shook his head, for once, not knowing of what to do.
Rogue's Room
Remy watched Rogue sleep peacefully. 'Beautiful asleep, but even more when she is awake.' He thought to himself. A light appeared beside him, he glance to his side to see Jean standing there, watching Rogue also. She had a sad look upon her face. "Long time no see Jeannie." Remy greeted the red head.
"It is nice to see you Remy." Jean said as he turned to him. "If you please, I wish to speak with you." She told him. She started to guide him out of the door, but he stopped at the exit. "Don't worry, she will be fine." She reassured him. He nodded and finally exited out of the room.
They stood outside in the hallway. "So what y' want to talk about Jeannie?" Remy asked her, half happy to be able to do something besides watch Rogue sleep, half worried something might happen to Rogue while he was away.
"Well first I wanted to ask how things were going with Rogue?" She asked him, her mood lightened a little.
"Things are good." He told her, unsure if he should tell her he had grown feelings for the girl he was suppose to protect. "Really good." He added in.
Jean finally smiled at him and placed a hand on his arm. "You like her, don't you?" She asked him, he nodded. "It's alright, Rogue is a really likeable girl, once you get to know her. I am not surprised you had grown feelings for her." She told him.
"Who could resist her? Dese kids are stupid around 'ere, dey act like she goin' to kill dem." He said, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"They are kids, they believe anything that someone tells them. People start to believe things if the story is good enough, Carol is very good apparently at making Rogue seem like a danger to them." Jean said to him.
"Dat fille been really pissin' Gambit off." He muttered. "Don' know how Rogue puts up with her." He told Jean.
"She is a strong girl and now she has you to help her, which only makes her stronger." Jean smiled at Remy.
Remy sighed. "Not fair though, Remy finally finds de perfect femme when he dies. How come he couldn't find her when he was still alive." He said sadly.
"Take a walk with me Remy I want to show you something." She told him, pulling on his coat trying to get him to go where she wanted to. The two walked down the hallway and then finally stopped at a door.
"Whose room is dis?" He asked Jean, not remembering seeing this section. Rogue had never walked down to the teachers rooms before. Jean didn't answer him, she only walked through the door. He saw one of Rogue's teachers fast asleep.
"I had loved him since the day I met him and I still do. The one thing I wish I could do is tell him how much I still love him." Jean whispered, her eyes almost filled with tears as she looked down at Scott Summers.
"Y' two were pretty close den?" Remy asked as he watched Jean stand beside Scott's bed as she reached down to caressed his face, her hand passed right through him.
"You could say that." She said as she took her hand away. "I died protecting him and everyone else I loved. I never got a chance though to tell him I love him or kiss him good-bye. He still blames himself for my death. I just wish I could tell him." Jean said, looking over at Remy.
"Can' beat y'rself up for dat, nothin' y' can do." Remy said, trying to make Jean feel better. He hated it when any woman was upset. "He loved y' dat much, it's hard to deal with. He get better in time." Remy told her.
Jean looked down at Scott. "He thought I had feelings for another man and it was true." She said as she turned away from Scott and began to walk out of the door.
"Y' cheated on him with another homme?" He asked curiously. "Y' don' seem de type dat would, no offence." He told her.
"I thought I wasn't either, but it happened." She told him as she walked through the door, he followed behind her. "I always thought once you find someone you love that one person forever. Then I fell in love with another man." She explained.
"So who was dis other?" Remy asked, raising an eye brow.
Jean was about to answer when they heard the sound of someone walking down the hall. Logan passed by Scott's room and went into the room next to it. Jean watched him enter his room and close the door. "Y' in love with de claws?" Remy asked surprised.
Jean gave a small smile. "Yeah." She answered shyly. She shook her head to try and concentrate on what she had come to talk to him about. "Anyways, well I did not come here to talk about my relationship problems. I came to show you something, I am afraid." She told him sadly. Remy frowned, he knew he was not going to like what she was going to say or show him.
'Let moi guess, after all dis, Gambit still goin' to hell.' He thought to himself. "So what is it Jeannie?" He asked her, she began walking down the hallway and to the stairs. He followed behind her, she kept quiet the whole time. 'What is goin' on? Why won' she answer moi?' He thought to himself as he followed her down the stairs and into the living area.
"Wait here." She said as they both stood behind the couch, a young boy was sitting in it watching the T.V., flipping through channels.
"Why don' y' just tell Gambit what is goin' on?" He asked, a bit annoyed now. He stared at the television as it flipped and then finally stopped on a news station. On the news there was a ambulance loading a body bag into the back of it. He was about to ask who it was when he saw his father on the screen with his cousin and his Tante Mattie.
"I am afraid your brother has been murdered." Jean said sadly, looking at Remy's shocked look. His mouth was open, still starring at the screen in disbelief.
"Non." He whispered as he took a step back. "How did dis happen?" He demanded, facing Jean now.
"Only he can answer that, you don't need to worry about him. He is in heaven." She told him.
'Of course he was, best brother dere was.' Remy thought sadly at the fact his brother had been murdered. Remy bowed his head and began to walk up the stairs.
"I am sorry, but you needed to know." Jean said as she followed him up the stairs.
"Glad y' did." He told her. 'Julien is gonna pay for dis, Gambit know he did dis.' He thought bitterly as he reached the top of the stairs.
"I know it doesn't make your job any easier." Jean told him, feeling bad for the younger man.
"Non, it don', but dere ain' nothin' Remy can do about it." He told Jean as he walked down the hallway. He turned around and faced her. "Tell Henri Gambit misses him." He told her. She nodded to him.
"Take care Remy and please take care of Rogue." She told him as she went to hug him. He hugged her back before she disappeared.
'May not of been able to protect mon brother, but Gambit sure as hell gonna make sure nothin' happen to Marie.' He thought to himself as he walked into Rogue's room, passing through the door. She was still asleep, a smile across her face.
Remy smiled down at her. 'Still got her and nothin' is gonna happen to her.' He thought as he waited for the sun to come up.
