Bobby sighed. This day so far had been perfect. He and Lorna and spent the whole day together exploring the mansion. 'Maybe I should ask her to a movie or something? No, it is too soon.' He thought to himself when the phone rang. He walked over to the wall and picked it up. "Hello, Xavier's School for Gifted-" Bobby was about to say, when a familiar voice on the other line cut him off.
"Bobby? Is that you? You gotta help me!" A voice said panicking.
"John? You got some nerve calling here after what you did." Bobby growled and was tempted to hang up the phone.
"Listen, I'm sorry. But I really need your help. There's these two people after me. One is this guy that has silver hair. And the other, oh god she was scary, but kind of hot. They wanted to know where Magneto was, but I don't know. I was able to escape them." John told him.
"That's your problem. No one told you to leave and join Magneto." Bobby said and was about to hang up the phone.
"Come on. We we're best friends." John tried to persuade him.
"Let me think. NO! For one, friends don't try to fry one another one a roof of a hotel. And two, this is your mess, you clean it up." Bobby told him.
"Who's that?" Lorna asked as she exited the kitchen.
"Rogue? Is that you? YOU GOTTA HELP ME! Oh wait. I forgot Rogue dumped you for some other guy. Um, strange woman! Help me!" John yelled, but Bobby hung up the phone.
"Um, no one." Bobby replied quietly. 'Maybe I should report this to the Professor.' He thought to himself. 'Nah, he can deal.' He finally decided.
"It sounded like it was someone otherwise you wouldn't be this upset." Lorna crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him.
"Who says I am upset?" He asked with a small smile. "I have the pleasure showing a pretty girl around the mansion all by myself." Bobby said.
"You're changing the subject." Lorna shook her head. "That is the same thing my brother does every time he tries to deny something. Of course, my sister and I have to smack him until he finally tells us what's going on. Want me to try it out on you?"
Bobby raised his hands in defense. "No, that's alright." His smile disappeared and looked over at the wall.
"Now, who was that?" Lorna repeated her previous question.
"His name is John. We are . . . were best friends. He decided he didn't like the this school anymore and joined up with another powerful mutant. The last time we met up was in Paris. I was on the roof of the hotel and he tried to kill me. Now he is in major trouble." Bobby answered.
Lorna rested a hand on his arm, causing him to look up at her. "And you aren't sure if you should help him or not?" She asked.
"I wasn't planning on helping him. He did this to himself, now. He can find his own damn way out of it." Bobby growled.
"But deep down inside, you still care." Lorna told him as she looked into his eyes. "I can see it." She stated.
Bobby sighed. "Can we please just tour around the mansion? I don't want to talk about this." He told her.
"Not until you give me an answer." Lorna responded and tightened her grip on his arm.
"Yes, I do care if something happens to him!" Bobby shouted and pulled away from her. "We were best friends since he first arrived at the mansion. I never thought the idiot would ever leave." He said quietly.
"And you feel betrayed by that?" She asked and released his arm and brought him into a hug. "There is nothing wrong with feeling that way." Lorna told him.
"But he didn't care if he hurt me back in Paris." Bobby said as he returned the hug and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Because he was following someone else's orders." Lorna pulled away from him and looked him in the eyes. "What did he do back in Paris?" She asked.
"He sent a flame at me and knocked me out." He replied, not understanding what this had to do with anything.
Lorna smirked. "And I am guessing you were seriously hurt? If he wanted to, he could have beaten, set you on fire, or even done worse, but he didn't." She told him and gave him a moment to think it over. "Why don't we find your friend and help him?"
"I guess." Bobby replied as they started walking towards the garage. "From the sound of it, this girl that is after him is really scary." He mumbled.
"A girl is after him?" Lorna laughed. "How cute. Maybe when he said he needed help was to get her off of him."
"No, he said that this girl and guy have been hunting him down. They are trying to find this guy and only John knows where he is, except he doesn't." Bobby shook his head. "Have you ever heard of a mutant named Magneto?" He asked.
Lorna stopped walking and stared at him. Bobby turned around when he noticed she had was no longer next to him. "What's wrong?" He asked curiously. She looked like she had seen a ghost with how pale her face had grown.
"Did you just say Magneto?" Lorna asked him in a shallow voice.
"Yeah. Have you heard of him?" He asked.
"Yeah. He's my father." She responded.
Teacher's Office
Jean sat at her desk grading papers from her first hour classes. She smiled to herself when she finished reading Dani Moonstar's paper. 'I see I did teach the lesson well.' She thought to herself. So far, every student had been given an excellent grade.
A knock on the door interrupted her grading process. "Can I come in?" Scott asked with a small smile on his face. His arms were behind his back as if he was hiding something.
"Of course." Jean replied and pushed the papers. Scott walked further into the room and before he reached Jean, he pulled out a bouquet of flowers.
"I was at the store and thought I'd pick you up a little something." He told her. A bright smile appeared on her face as she got up from her chair and went to him.
"They are beautiful, darling. Thank you." She kissed him on the lips and took the flowers from him. "I am going to place them on my desk and maybe as Ororo what I can do to keep them alive the longest."
Scott watched her return to her desk and set the flowers down. He noticed that her left hand began to twitch and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. "Are you alright?" He asked her instantly.
Her eye twitched before she turned around. "Yeah, I'm fine I guess." She smiled weakly at him.
"No, you're not. Tell me what is wrong." Scott demanded as he walked over to her.
Jean sighed before she finally answered. "I have this really bad feeling something is going to happen around here. I don't know if it is part of my powers that are telling me this or just my instincts." She replied.
"I trust you on this." Scott reassured her. "If you say there is something wrong, then there most likely is. Who is it you feel that was in danger?" He asked.
"Everyone." She whispered and bowed her head. "There is something that is going to try to drive us apart. You and me, Rogue and Remy, and Logan and Ororo." She told him.
"That's never going to happen." He told her and brought her into a hug. "I am never letting you out of my site again."
Rec. Room
Remy watched Rogue from a distance as she talked with Kitty and Jubilee. He had been thinking all night of what he was going to do. If he turned over the Grey woman, he could never come back to the mansion and Rogue would hate him. If he did nothing, Rogue would be taken along with Jean.
'Why de hell did he have to find moi?' He thought to himself as he recalled the incident in Seattle over a year ago
Flashback
Screams were heard from all around him as the building collapsed on everyone, including himself. There was nothing he could do. The only way this could have been prevented was if he had control over his powers.
The terrified people's emotions swept into his mind, almost causing him to black out from that alone. By the time he looked up, a piece of the ceiling smacked him across the head and sent him backwards with a nasty gash across his forehead.
The next thing he knew, he had awoken in a medical lab. Remy tried to sit up, but pain racked through his body and caused him to stop. "I wouldn't do that again if I were you, Mr. LeBeau." A sinister voice instructed to him.
"Who are y'?' Remy was able to say. His head started throbbing and he closed his eyes. He felt a heavy weight under his neck that felt like a metal collar.
"My name is Nathaniel Essex, but I prefer Mister Sinister." Sinister told the young man as he made his way over to the exam table where the Cajun was laying. "You are suffering from a concussion, and have a dislocated shoulder and broken leg. I was able to stitch up the gash on your forehead." He told him.
"Merci." Remy replied and slowly opened his eyes. "What do y' want for it?" He asked, knowing nothing came for free in this day and age.
"Only a few of your thieving skills to get me certain files. It is a simple task for someone such as you." Sinister stated with a grin on his face. "Though, I've watched you for some time and you seem to have problems with controlling your powers."
Remy glared over at the tall pale faced man with a red diamond on his forehead. It had disturb him to know that this creep had been watching him and he had not noticed. "Oui, dey be a bit of a problem."
"I can help you with them, if you so desire, child. I can have your powers dampened and at a controllable state." Sinister said, baiting the younger man in.
"What about de empathy?" Remy demanded. He couldn't stand feeling everything everyone else felt. In a city, there were feelings of love, dread, jealously, happiness, fear, and many other emotions that didn't belong to him and he wanted them gone.
"I can help you place up shields in your mind to block them out. It is quiet simple, really." Sinister told him.
"And what do y' want for dat?" Remy asked suspiciously.
"That debt will be paid in due time."
End of Flashback
Remy sighed. He should have known that there would be a heavy price to pay from the madman, but at the time he didn't know what else to do. He hadn't heard of Xavier's school and didn't know that Sinister was a crazy scientist.
'But still, can' let anything happen to Rogue. Even if she hates moi for de rest of her life, it is better dan her ending up Sinister's new experiment.' He thought as she made her way over to him.
"Hey, sugah." Rogue greeted him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Bonjour, chere." He smiled down at him.
"Ya got somethin' on ya mind? Ah called ya from across the room and ya didn't answer." Rogue told him.
"Sorry about dat, chere. Have a lot of my mind." He replied as they started walking down the hallway towards Rogue's next class.
"Ah can't believe Jubilee. One week the girl acts like herself, then a new guy comes to the mansion and all she does is gawk at him." Rogue shook her head.
"De petit finds almost every guy dat enters de school attractive, no?" Remy smiled at her.
"Oh yeah. Ah remembered she liked you when you came here. As soon as she knew Ah was datin' ya she stopped." Rogue shook her head in amusement as they stopped in front of the teacher's office. "Aww." She sighed when she saw Scott and Jean kiss.
The smile from Remy's lips disappear as he looked at the older couple. Rogue had told him about what happened at Alkali Lake and Scott had been deeply depressed about losing Jean. 'Dey don' deserve dat to happen to dem again.' He thought to himself. 'I'll face de bastard myself so dat neither femme has to see de bastard.'
