New Orleans
She had been flying for hours and finally reached New Orleans. 'About time.' She thought to herself as she began to land on the ground. She had finally gotten the hang of flying. The first part of her trip, she found herself falling and then going back up. The rest of the way she had no trouble.
It was dark already and she didn't know her way around the town. She sighed as she saw people walking on the side walk and the cars passing by. 'Wish Ah asked him where he lived, besides here. A address would of been helpful.' She thought to herself as she began walking down the sidewalk.
'Maybe someone around here knows him and would know if he is back.' She thought to herself as she looked and saw a Cajun restaurant. 'I guess I'll try here.' She thought to herself as she walked across the street and opened the door. A ringing noise was heard when the door opened and a man was standing there with a towel draped over his arm and had a smile across his face.
"How many?" He asked her, assuming she was there to eat.
"Ah'm not here ta eat, Ah was wonderin if ya knew someone Ah'm looking for." Rogue began to say. She wished she had taken a picture of him, incase the person didn't recognize his name, but his face. A woman walked pass her and exited out the door.
"I shall try." The waiter replied as he waited to hear what Rogue had to say.
"Have ya heard of someone named Remy LeBeau?" She asked the man, hoping that he knew who Remy was.
The man shook his head. "Sorry, mademoiselle. Never seen a Remy LeBeau." The man told her. Rogue looked disappointed as she turned to leave.
"Thanks for ya help." She said as she was about to leave when the man spoke again.
"But we recently had a Mercy LeBeau here. I believe she just left." The man told her. Rogue looked back at the man.
'Ah'm sure he has contacted his family, she should know.' Rogue thought to herself. "Thanks sir." She told the man as she quickly left the restaurant and went outside, to find it raining. "This is just mah lucky day, ain't it." Rogue muttered as she looked around to find the woman she had seen pass her.
"That's her." Rogue whispered as she ran to catch up with the woman, who had opened a umbrella.
"Excuse meh!" Rogue shouted as she tried to catch up with the woman, but kept running into people. "Excuse meh!" Rogue shouted as she finally cut through the tiny crowd of people.
Mercy stopped walking when she heard the shout and turned around to find a girl with brown hair and white stripes racing towards her. She eyed the woman, not knowing who she was as she approached.
"Are ya Mercy LeBeau?" Rogue asked as she ran up to Mercy. 'Please say ya are and ya know where Remy is.' Rogue thought to herself.
"Oui. I am Mercy LeBeau. How may I help you?" Mercy asked, not sure of what this young woman wanted. She could be a assassin assign to come kill her. 'Like they did to mon husband.' She thought to herself.
"Do ya know a Remy LeBeau?" Rogue asked. She waited for the older woman to reply.
Mercy gave Rogue a suspicious look before she answer. "Oui, he was mon brother-in-law." She answered, she bowed her head thinking about him. 'Not even dat old.' She thought to herself sadly.
"Have ya seen him lately?" Rogue asked her, her eyes pleading for a answer. Mercy looked at Rogue strangely.
"Non, he has been dead for weeks now." Mercy replied. "Listen if ya are a old girlfriend of his, sorry to tell ya dis." Mercy said to Rogue.
'Ah guess he never called them.' Rogue thought to herself, now seeing this was even more difficult than she had though it would be before. Drips of water ran through her hair and down her face, making it look like she was crying. Rogue sighed. "Alright, thanks for ya help." Rogue said before turning around. "Sorry for disturbin ya." Rogue added in as she began walking away.
Mercy stared at the girl. 'How come she didn't seem shocked when I told her Remy was dead?' Mercy thought to herself, then began thinking. 'Has this young fille seen Remy? Mebbe he isn't dead. Non, don' kid y'rself.' Mercy thought to herself as she began walking down the street.
"But still." She whispered to herself as she pulled out her cellphone and began to dial a number. She placed the phone to her ear and waited for the other line to pick up. Finally it did.
"Dis is Mercy." She replied when the person asked who it was. A smile went on her face when she heard the person say it was great to hear from her. "Oui, nice talkin to y' too, Lapin." Mercy smirked, hearing her husband's cousin talk to her.
"What can I do for y'?" Lapin asked on the other line.
"Dere is dis fille who stopped moi today, apparently she knows Remy." Mercy began to say.
"Who didn' know Remy." Lapin said quietly. He was still depressed after hearing his cousin had been killed, it only got worse when he heard that Henri had been killed as well. He had always been close to Remy, with them being close in age.
"For some reason, I got the feeling Remy ain't dead from how she was speaking." Mercy told him.
"Dat's impossible, dere was nothin' left of his bike." Lapin told her.
"Oui, but all dey found was ashes near de body. Dey never did a DNA test. What if he is alive?" Mercy asked him.
"Where is dis fille y' met, I wanna talk to her." Lapin said to Mercy.
"She left, y' could probably track her down. She has brown hair with white stripes, green eyes and about 5 foot 7." Mercy told him.
"I'll try to find her before tomorrow." Lapin said to her.
"Hope y' can find her before the Guilds go to war." Mercy said quietly as people passed by her.
"Oui, well I'ma go look for her. See ya Mercy." Lapin said as he hung up his phone.
Rogue had asked a bunch of people and either they heard of Remy and said he was dead, or they would say they never heard of him.
"Ah'ma get sick out here." Rogue whispered to herself as she felt her nose running. She stood under a roof of a building to block the rain. 'Where are ya swamp rat? Unless Ah was wrong and ya didn't come back here. Then Ah'm here for nothin and ya are back in New York wonderin where Ah am.' Rogue thought to herself as cars passed on the street.
A taxi stopped across the street and the passenger got out and paid the driver. Rogue watched as the taxi drove off and she got a good look of who the passenger was. 'Maybe today is mah lucky day after all.' Rogue thought to herself as she began walking across the street towards the person.
Remy shivered as he looked around the town he had lived in for most of his life. 'It's weird bein back here.' He thought to himself, not noticing the approaching Rogue.
"Remy LeBeau, ya got some explainin ta do!" He heard a familiar female voice say.
He looked over in Rogue's direction and almost fell over. 'Mon Dieu, how did she find moi? Dere is no way she could of beatin moi here.' Remy thought to himself as Rogue came to stand in front of him, a hand on her hip.
"Chere, how did y' get here?" He asked, as Rogue glared at him. The rain coming down on them both.
"Ah remember ya were from around here and the Professor said ya were going back ta get somethings. Why didn't ya tell meh? Ah would of understood." She demanded.
"Dis is my problem, mon amour. Gambit didn't want to get y' involved with dis. Just go back to de mansion, Gambit swear he will be back soon." Remy told her, wishing she didn't follow him. 'It isn't safe for her here.' Remy thought to himself as he began looking around to make sure there was no one from the Assassin's Guild around.
"Ah don't think so, swamp rat. Ah came down here ta bring ya back and Ah ain't leavin until ya do." Rogue folded her arms over her chest. "Why did ya come back down here?" She asked him.
"For revenge." Remy whispered as he looked away from her.
"Ya want ta kill that guy that murdered ya, don't ya?" Rogue asked him, feeling less angry. She could see why he would want revenge for that.
"Oui, gonna kill dat bastard, he messed with my family for de last time." Remy muttered as he began to look at Rogue again. He saw Jean standing behind Rogue.
"And if you do you will go to hell." Jean told him, her arms folded over her chest, like Rogue.
"Ah know ya are angry at him, but killin him just makes ya as bad as him. Why don' ya just call the cops?" Rogue asked him.
Remy almost wanted to laugh. The cops in New Orleans were useless. "Dey won' do anythin, besides dey wouldn't stand a chance against a assassin." Remy told her.
"Killin isn't the way ta do it, sugah. That is one thing the X-Men stand for." Rogue said to him. She saw she wasn't getting anywhere with him. 'Fine ya want ta be this way.' She thought to herself as she turned around, away from him.
"Fine ya want ta kill him go ahead. But if ya do, don't come back ta meh, cause Ah don' want ta associate with a killer." Rogue told him angrily.
"Cher, wait." Remy shouted as she began to walk away. She turned and looked at him.
"No, if ya think about it, what's more important ta ya. Killin this guy or meh?" She asked him. She turned away from him, not wanting to look at him. 'Ya finally come back and throw ya life away.' She thought to herself as she closed her eyes, she could feel tears forming in her eyes.
She felt a arm on her shoulder and turned around to find Remy standing there. "Nothin in de world is more important as y' are to moi." He told her.
Jean smiled at the two. "Glad ya came to your sense Remy." She told Gambit as she disappeared.
Rogue smiled up at him and hugged him. She wrapped her arms around him and didn't want to let go. He held her,
"Shall we go home?" He asked her, she looked up at him and smiled.
"Sure let's go." She told him as she placed her hand in his. "Wait, there is no way I am carryin ya back ta New York." Rogue protested.
"Come on, Gambit isn't dat heavy. Besides he knows how y' be dyin to have y' hands all over his body." He smirked at her. She rolled her eyes.
"In ya dreams, Cajun." She told him with a bit of a laugh. "But how are we gonna get home?" She asked him.
"Could get a hotel and den get a flight back in de mornin." He suggested to her.
"That could work. So ya know any good hotels?" She asked him. He broke away from her.
"Many, but we should get de finest one. A beautiful femme like y'rself only deserves de-" He said before he was cut off when a hand covered his mouth with a cloth that was filled with chloroform. His eyes rolled back into his head and he fell unconscious to the ground.
"Rem-" Rogue began to shouted as she was about to attack Remy's attacker, when someone from behind did the same to her. 'Who the hell are these people?' Was her last thought before she fell to the ground on top of Remy.
"Dere is no way. We saw de thief get hit." A man spoke to his partner, who had knocked Remy unconscious.
"Don't know. Mebbe he is a zombie or a ghost or somethin." The other man said as they looked down at the two unconscious mutants.
"Doesn't matter." They heard their boss, Julien behind them say. "Get dem in de car. I've already done what I was suppose to do, I'll let Candra deal with dem." Julien glared down at Remy.
"Sure thing boss." The one man said as they began to pick up Remy and Rogue.
"What about the girl?" The other man asked.
"Bring her, I'm sure we can find some use for her." Julien told them as a car pulled up along side the road. They opened up the backseat and through the two mutants into the back and closed the door. Julien got in the front as his two lackeys got into the back seat to keep a eye on Rogue and Remy.
The driver then sped off down the streets of New Orleans.
