Chapter 2
6 months later
Remy had awakened, with a start, from another one of his disturbing dreams. This one featuring
a mansion full of masked and costumed fighters all of whom upon seeing him had all started to
advance on him saying violent, hurtful, hate-filled words. They also appeared to be ready to beat
him to death, before he awoke.
Remy ran the masked figures over in his head once, not sure who they were, but feeling that he
should know them some how.
He soon gave up and decided to take a shower and get an early start on the day after a quick look
at his clock showing it to be 5:00am. While in the shower his mind began to wander over his last
six months here at the castle as a personal guest of Nathaniel's.
Six months earlier
After he had awakened for the second time in the comfortable bed, he noticed almost immediately
that he wasn't alone. Looking over he saw the man from before. He felt he should know him some
how, but he couldn't remember his name. Soon Remy felt that same bout of fear from before.
Before anything could happen this time the man before him spoke up.
"Please calm down Remy. I mean you no ill will." He said while holding up his hands in a show
surrender. Slowly moving closer to the bed so as not to startle Remy.
"May I?" he said gesturing towards Remy. "I need to make sure that you are not suffering from
anymore problems now that you are awake."
Upon Remy's hesitant nod he began his examination of his young charge. Looking Remy in
the eyes during his exam, he noticed that their was a lack of reconization in them. Once
finished with his brief exam. He took a seat near the bed and began to question Remy.
"Do you know your name?"
"Remy Lebeau" He received in answer.
"Do you know what you are?"
"No" Remy replied
"Do you know who I am?"
"Not sure" Remy answered honestly
"My name is Nathaniel Essex, otherwise known as Mister Sinister" He said to see if that
would get any sort of reaction out of Remy. When he received none he decided to asked one
more question before deciding how else to proceed with his obviously amnesiac charge.
"Can you tell me what you remember up until now?"
Remy took a moment to collect his thoughts before he replied.
"I remember feeling hatred and loathing directed towards me and then nothing but cold"
Remy said feeling a shiver going up his spine.
"I see." Nathaniel said with a thoughtful look upon his face. "Then we will have to proceed
carefully to restore your memories. Until the day that your memories are fully restored
you may stay here with me. You may of course leave any time you wish before then if you
like." A smile crossed his face as stomach growl was heard coming from the bed.
"Are you hungry?" he asked the now blushing Remy. At the nod he received he got up to
retrieve Remy some food from the kitchens below. Leaving Remy to his thoughts.
Present Time
That had been six months ago and while he had recovered quite a few of his memories he still
had some blank spots in his mind. One of the first memories to return to him with Nathan's kind
help had been of Nathaniel's alias Mister Sinister and how he had once been.
flashback
He at first when the memory struck had felt hatred,remorse, then shame, and lastly fear. He
had a hard time comparing the creature Mister Sinister to the gentle man Nathaniel Essex.
With Nathaniel telling him his story of how he was once driven almost to madness with the loss
of his beloved family and his obsession with his work to his agreement with Apocalypse to rid
himself of all emotion and gain power so that he may continue on with his work. Nathaniel told
him everything hiding nothing from Remy. Giving him a heart felt explanation of how he wishes
to change and help those that he hurt in the past. He had then gotten to his knees and proceeded to
apologize to Remy and begged for his forgiveness. After thinking over all he had been told
and with a scan using his empathy to feel out anything bad or possibly false in him. Remy
found that he believed him and had seen and felt that Nathan meant every word he said. Remy
gently placed his hand on Nathaniel's head and forgave him with no ill will. Since then they had
decided to start over again, with there past from before forgotten and a new path formed for the
future.
end flashback
Shaking out of his thoughts. Remy decided after he dressed that he would start breakfast this
morning for himself and anyone else that would be there today.
On the way down to the kitchens to he ran into Victor, who simply sent him a smile and salute
before continuing on to where he was going. That was another thing that had changed in the
past six months since he had regained what memories he had.
flashback
Nathaniel had introduced him to some others who would be staying in the castle with them
when he had been deemed well enough to leave his room.
Among those introduced was an extremely tall, over muscled man with the looks and behavior
of a predatory animal named Victor Creed. Remy felt uneasy around him and so decided to
simply avoid him. The others that were introduced were a young african-american woman dressed
in a green silk chinese cheongsam decorated with a silver and black dragon with long green hair
down to the back of her knees, and shimmering emerald eyes by the name of Serene, who had
calm look on her face.When she had shaked his hand, her hand was warm and caused a warm
feeling to pass through him. He would later learn that she was a omega class mutant with a
control over nature and a low level empath. Another person he had been introduced to had been
a young effeminate man dressed from neck down in black leather by the name of Cloud. He was
shorter than all of the other men in the room, had pale alabaster skin, chilling ice blue eyes, and
short blonde hair that only reached his shoulders that was held back at the nape of his neck by a
leather cord. He would also learn later that Cloud was another omega class mutant with the ability
to transform matter at will and a low level telepath. The others that were introduced were simply
associates that were passing through.
On the day when the memories of Sinister arose so had the those his henchmen,
the Marauders, Sabertooth and what had been done and his part in the mutant massacres.
When he had gone face Victor about it, he found him outside, he was in such an emotional state
that he had lashed out with his empathy without meaning to and latched onto Victors mind
immediately being pulled in. Remy was assaulted with all forms of foreign emotions while
in Victor's head. The one emotion that struck him the most and hardest and seemed to be
the most dominate was dark, blood thirsty and primal. There were other emotions but this one
stuck out most and called to Remy, pulling him in closer to it's source. Remy began to fight
the emotion as it tried to consume him once he had reached the source, he began to
fight harder when the emotion had only seemed to get stronger. Out of no where Remy felt
a strong surge go through him giving him the strength he
needed to weaken the emotion down to almost nothing. Without realizing that he had closed his
eyes throughout the entire ordeal, he opened then quickly to take in his surroundings. Serene was
outside leaning against the wall with her face calm looking down on the ground, following
her gaze down he spotted Victor on the ground out cold. With Serene's help they managed
together to get Victor back inside and in the closest bed. As soon as they had him settled in
the bed he opened his eyes and looked straight at Remy. A smile quickly covered his face
reaching all the way to his eyes, that glittered with pure joy, before he reached up and
held Remy in a heart felt hug of thanks while at the same time fervently giving him
praise and thanks for helping him overcome his more darker emotions. Since that day
Victor had done everything he could think of to apologize and prove to Remy that he was
Saber tooth no more, but a changed man all thanks to Remy. At first Remy had been
apprehensive of Victor with or without his empathy to guide him, what emotions he felt from him
before still fresh in his mind, then later after much thought finally forgave him and the two
had slowly become friends.
end flashback
Remy was almost finished with breakfast when Cloud entered the kitchen behind him dressed
in his ever present black leather. The two of them along with Serene had all become fast
friends only weeks within meeting.
"Good morning, Remiel" Cloud said in his formal way. He always insisted on calling
people by their proper name no matter how much they try to tell him otherwise. Remy
personally thought he did it to try and get a rise out of them.
"Good Morning, to you too. Could you please set the table for me while I finish this, please?"
Remy replied with barely a hint of an accent in his voice. "Thanks" he said when he didn't
receive an answer to his question knowing that Cloud would do it any way, just to be useful.
The two soon started a conversation about every day things, when Remy had finished cooking
and placed the food on the table, while waiting for the others to join them. They were soon joined
by the others and the table was soon full of people all hungry and willing to get a taste of Remy's
delicious cooking. As the conversations between all the people at the table began, so did the
day for all within the castle.
