I won't be able to update for about a week in a half, I'm going on a bit of a vacation with my friends. Although I am bringing my laptop, but not to sure if I will be able to write in the car, it's a bit hard, I've tried. I promise I will update as soon as I get back!
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in here yadda yadda.
Rogue regained consciousness before Remy. 'What hit meh?' She thought to herself, feeling a bit dizzy. She looked down to find herself tied to a chair. Remy was in a chair facing away from her, he was tied the same as her. 'Come on, like Ah can't break this.' She thought to herself as she looked down at the rope.
She then looked around and found a guard standing there. 'He doesn't look that tough.' She thought to herself before observing their surroundings. The walls were made of stone and the only light was from four torches, each on one side of the room. The place looked like a temple, from what she could figure.
She looked behind her to see Remy stirring. "Remy, are ya alright?" She asked him quietly as he raised his head.
"You two, keep quiet!" The one guard demanded. Rogue shot the guard a dirty look.
"Gambit fine, cher. Y' alright?" He asked her as he turned his head to the side to see she was tied like him.
"I said keep it down!" The guard ordered again.
"Fine, then answer meh where we are and then maybe Ah'll be quiet!" Rogue shouted at the guard. The guard walked over to her.
"Fine, if you don't want to shut up, I will make you shut up!" The guard threatened her.
"Y' touch her and dey won't find a piece of y' left." Gambit glared at the guard that came over to Rogue. The guard touched Rogue's face and felt himself get absorbed. He immediately backed away.
"What the hell?" The guard cursed as he stared at Rogue. "Your going to pay for that mutie." The guard glared at Rogue as he went over and took a torch. "I always wondered if mutants burn like normal humans, let's find out." The guard said as he brought the fire near Rogue.
The torch was about to touch Rogue, when it lifted out of the guard's hands. The guard turned around to see the torch fly across the room and land in the hands of a blonde haired woman that had juste entered.
"Such disrespect to our guests." The woman commented as she glared at the guard. "I told you to watch them, not harm them." She said in a low voice, making the guard back away to the wall.
"I am sorry, my mistress." The guard bowed to her as he quietly left the room. She rolled her eyes and she watched the man squirm his way out.
"Good help is so hard to find these days." The woman sighed before turning back to the two southerner mutants.
"Who the hell are ya and what do ya want?" Rogue demanded as she tried to free herself from the rope. 'Find out this stuff, then Ah'm break outta this rope and kick her ass.' Rogue thought to herself as she glared at the blonde haired woman.
"Candra." Remy growled as he looked over a the External, who smiled back at him.
"Nice to see you again Gambit, long time, hm?" Candra said as she came to stand by them. "Though there is one thing I've been wondering." Candra said softly. "How the hell are you still alive?" She asked as he stared at the Cajun thief.
"Dat would be my little secret." Remy answered to her.
"Dere is no way y' survived dat accident, thief!" They all heard a male voice shout from the other side of the room. Julien had entered into the room and started walking towards them.
"I thought I told you to do a job for me." Candra glared at the assassin.
"I will do it after I'm done with him." Julien motioned to Remy. "And once y've kept y'r end of de bargain. I want de elixirs of power and life." He demanded to Candra.
"And I told you, you shall have them once the Guilds are at war. Are they? No, so until then you will get nothing." Candra told Julien.
"I've already done everythin y' want. Dey will be killin each other by tomorrow. What's a day earlier?" Julien glared at Candra, who had enough of him. Candra raised her hand and then Julien was lifted off the floor.
"Let me make this clear, until both Guilds are back under my services, you get nothing." Candra yelled at Julien. She then threw him against the wall and watched him crash down to the floor. She then turned back to her two prisoners.
She smiled at them both and flipped a blonde lock of hair over her shoulder. "Sorry about that, where was I?"
"Y' were about to release us." Remy answered her. 'Got to find a way to get chere out of dis. Damnit, why did I get her involved in dis.' He cursed to himself.
"Thanks for reminding me." Candra said as she walked over to Gambit. "Now how the hell are you still alive? I watched as the truck hit your bike. There is no way you could of survived." Candra glared at Gambit.
"Well Gambit did die, den he got sent back as a ghost to protect Rogue, den he got sent back again in a human body." Remy smirked at Candra, knowing she would never believe him, even though it was the truth.
"I want a answer!" Candra smacked Remy across the face. Rogue glared at Candra, tempted to just break the rope and attack the External.
"Ah got a idea, why don' ya let meh outta here? Ah promise Ah won't hurt ya." Rogue lied. 'No one touches mah man, besides meh, and gets away with it.' She thought to herself.
Candra looked at Rogue and rolled her eyes. "Please, little girl, you wouldn't stand a chance against me." Candra sneered as she began walking away from them.
"Why don't ya find out?" Rogue glared at Candra as she started laughing.
"I've been around for hundreds of years, you've been around for what, sixteen years, maybe a little more. You could never take me." Candra looked over to see Julien still there.
"I thought I told you to go!" Candra shouted at the assassin, he glared at her and then at the two mutants before leaving. 'Just as I always thought, assassins are mindless killing machines.' She chuckled to herself.
"I shall be seeing you two later, and don't worry I shall make sure your deaths are over quickly." Candra said, almost sympathetically. "And this time, I shall make sure you stay dead." She added in as she looked over at Remy. She exited out of the room and the guard returned to stand his post.
"Who is she?" Rogue asked, it was her first time meeting Candra and already she hated the woman.
"She was de Thieves and Assassin's Guild benefactress. She gave de Thieves de elixir of life and de Assassins de elixir of power. From what mon pere told moi, she started de Guilds, dey would work for her. Don' know if it is true." Remy shrugged.
"Anyways, de Guilds soon came to a peace treaty, like I've told y' before. And she didn't like dat one bit, because now no one was servin her. De only time she was useful was when each Guild was at war." Remy answered her. He noticed the guard was glaring at them.
"And that Julien guy, Ah remember seein his face in that newspaper." Rogue told Remy, who nodded.
"He de little bastard dat hired someone to kill moi. He is de Assassin's Guild masters son. His sister is a little bit psycho, but at least more sane den him." Remy told her.
"So how are ya all involved in this? Ah remember ya sayin ya family didn't like the Assassins, so ya Ah guess are a thief or was a thief." Rogue said to him, trying to figure out what Remy hadn't told her.
"Gambit be de Thieves Guild masters son." Remy answered her. 'Well adopted son, but he always considered moi his real one.' Remy thought silently to himself. Rogue didn't say anything to him, just sitting there thinking, before she finally spoke.
"Ya remember when ya told meh that Carol probably outrank Candra, well Ah kinda have ta disagree with a sugah. That woman is already on mah hate list." Rogue told Remy, making him smirk.
"Sorry, chere." Remy apologized to her. 'Gambit will make sure y' get outta dis mess and den send y' back to New York with y'r friends.' He thought to himself.
"For what, sugah?" She asked him as she turned his head to catch a glimpse of him.
"For gettin' y' involved in dis. Should of told y' before Gambit left, den y' would of stayed." He answered her.
"Ya think Ah would of stayed? If ya told meh Ah would of come along anyways." Rogue told him. "Ah'ma help ya and ya Guild, and make sure that bitch gets what she deserves." Rogue said to him. The guard was giving them both a suspicious look.
"Non, y'r goin back to New York." He told her.
"Ah'm not. Ah'm stayin here." Rogue protested.
"Non y'r not."
"Ya Ah am"
Non y'r not."
"Ya Ah-" Rogue was cut off in protest when the guard interrupted her.
"That's it, I don't care if Candra kills me or Julien for that matter. I've had enough of you two!" The guard shouted as he pulled out a danger that was lying on the table. Rogue and Remy both quieted down as the guard came near them.
"When I tell y' to, kick y'r feet up. It will send dis bozo flyin back." Remy whispered to Rogue, who nodded.
The guard approached the two, the dagger in his hand. He was about a few feet away from Rogue, when something from the ceiling fell down and tackled the guard. The guard rolled away and got up to find another person had entered into the temple.
"Who the hell are you? Your going to pay for coming here!" The guard snarled as he held the dagger in front of him. The other person pulled out a bo staff, identical to Remy's, and extended it.
"Like I've never heard dat one before." The other man said as he swung his bo staff and knocked the dagger out of the guards hand. "By de way, de names Lapin." The man said with a smirk as he swung the bo staff and cracked it against the side of the guards head, sending the man flying back and into unconsciousness.
Lapin turned to the two prisoners and took a step back. "Mon Dieu, I think I've finally lost it." Lapin said as he stared at his cousin he thought was dead.
"Nice enterance homme, but if y' don't mind, could y' free us?" Remy suggested as his cousin still stared in shock.
"Allow meh." Rogue said as she used her super strength to pull the rope away from her. She got to her feet and helped Remy.
"Merci, chere." Remy said as he kissed Rogue on the cheek. He then turned his attention back to his cousin.
"Listen if dis is about de money I owed y', I promise I'd pay it back, but then y' died. Please don' start hauntin moi!" Lapin said as he backed away even further.
"Remy ain't dead." He told his cousin, who was having a hard time believing him. He sighed. "Never was dead, dis beautiful femme saved moi before de other car hit." Remy made up. It would be a lot more believable than the truth.
"So y'r not back to haunt moi?" Lapin asked. Remy shook his head no. Lapin began to walk closer to Remy and touched his shoulder to see if he was real.
"Proof enough?" Remy asked, getting tired of this. They needed to stop Candra and Julien. Not debate whether he was real or not.
"Mon Dieu, y'r real." Lapin whispered, his face curving into a smirk and he hugged Remy. Remy hugged his cousin back and then let go. "Where've y' been?" Lapin demanded and then glanced over at Rogue. "And who might y' be mademoiselle?" Lapin asked as he took Rogue's gloved hand in his and kissed it.
'Ah guess it runs in the family.' She thought to herself as she smirked. "Mah names Rogue." She answered him.
"Beautiful name, chere. My name is Lapin." Lapin introduced himself. Remy rolled his eyes.
"Dat enough, Emil." Remy said, revealing Lapin's real name. He knew his cousin could be as big of a flirt as himself. The women may not have drooled over him like they did to Remy, but he could persuade his share.
"Fine, I get de hint." Lapin backed away, his hands held up.
"Y' gotta go back and get mon pere and explain to him dat Candra is behind all of dis before he has de thieves attack de assassins." Remy ordered his cousin, who nodded.
"I'll tell him, what about y'?" Lapin asked as he placed his bo staff back into his pocket.
"We gotta find Candra and Julien. Y' just make sure dat de war is stopped." Remy told him. Rogue smirked as she stood beside Remy, with little thoughts of a beaten Candra lying on the ground.
"Be careful." Lapin said as he began to walk off. "Lost y' once, don't want to lose y' a second time." Lapin whispered as he left the temple to go back to the thieves headquarters. While Remy and Rogue were going to hunt down the other two.
End of Chapter 26
