Chapter Six

The next day

Ben, Rogue, Greg, and Remy had been walking all night. They had snuck on a bus, but got kicked off at the next stop. They walked down the road in silence. Rogue felt very hungry, but didn't say anything, since no one else was saying anything or that's what she thought.

"So,'' Ben said, after about three hours of silence.'' I'm hungry.''

"We have no money,'' Greg said,'' Unless we rob a store, which would be stupid.''

"No,'' Remy said,'' T'at would be good. I'll do it. You guys just wait out here.''

They walked over to a gas station. Rogue thought that it was abandoned, since it had dirty windows, paint coming off the sides, and the doors have dents in it.

"Be careful,' Rogue whispered.

"Is t'ere anyt'ing I can get for you?" Remy asked,'' What kind of drink and food?"

"Anything,'' Rogue said.

Remy nodded and went into the store. They were silent for about five minutes. Rogue was looking very worried that Remy would get caught.' This is stupid,' Rogue thought.' He is going to get caught and be taken to jail.'

"So,'' Greg said,'' What do you think is going to happen?"

"He is going to get caught and thrown in jail,'' Ben said and the others looked at him.'' What?"

"I think he'll get some stuff, come back out here, and we will leave,'' Rogue said, not sounding at all convincing.

"Rriight,'' Ben and Greg said.

Rogue looked at them, then back at the store.' He'll just come out,' Rogue thought,' He won't cause a seen or will he? I need Jean's power.' They stood there in silence for about five more minutes.

"That's it,'' Rogue said,'' I'm going to see what's taking so long.''

"Maybe you should just stay here,'' Greg said, as Rogue walked over to the door.'' He could be doing anything.''

Rogue pushed the door opened and went in. Everything was normal. She looked around and saw Remy by the drinks. She walked over to him. She taped his shoulder, which made him jump.

"Sorry,'' Rogue said,'' Didn't mean to scare you.''

"What are you doing in here?" Remy asked.

"You are taking too long,'' Rogue said,'' Hurry up.''

"Just go back outside,'' Remy said,'' I'll be out in five minutes.''

Rogue nodded and left the store. She walked back over to Ben and Greg, who were trying to arm wrestle.

"What did he say?" Ben asked as he won.'' I win.''

"It's not fair,'' Greg said,'' You are older.''

"He said he'll be out five minutes,'' Rogue said.

"You mean,'' Ben said,'' He hasn't destroyed the store?''

"No,'' Rogue said, shocked that Remy would do something like that.'' Did he do it before?"

"Well,'' Ben said,'' No he hasn't, but that would of been so cool.''

Rogue was about to say something, when someone tapped on her shoulder, which made her jump.

"Sorry,'' Remy said,'' I got de stuff.''

He handed Rogue some chips and a pepsi. It seemed that everyone of them liked pepsi or he just grabbed pepsi and they didn't mind. He had lots of other stuff, but they were going to save that for later. They began to walk down the road.

"What did you do to get this?" Greg asked,'' Threaten the cashier, showed them your power? Tell.''

"I just stole the stuff,'' Remy said,'' Not'ing interesting.''

"You are kidding?" Ben asked and Remy shook his head.'' Well, at least you got the stuff.''

"They kept telling me that you were going to destroy the store,'' Rogue said.

"That has only happened once,'' Remy said,'' And it was an accident. My power was just barely showing.''

Flashback

A twelve yeat old Remy looked at all the different candy. He picked some that he thought would taste good. He went over to get a drink. He put his hand a the door of the fridge, (A/N: I don't know what they call them, sorry). He looked over at his parents, who were yelling at each other over something that Remy's father wanted to buy.

"NO,'' Remy's mother shouted,'' WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR DAT.''

''YES WE DO,'' Remy's father shouted back.'' WE HAVE TWO CREDIT CARDS.''

''WE HAVE A KID. WE NEED TO T'INK ABOUT HIM FIRST.''

"DO YOU T'INK I CARE ABOUT THE KID?"

Remy's eyes went wide and tears rolled down his face. His mother looked over at him.

"LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE,'' She shouted,'' YOU ARE MAKING HIM CRY.''

''Please stop fighting,'' Remy sobbed.

"SHUT UP,'' His father shouted.

His father went over to him and slaped him. His mother screamed. Remy looked at his father, with loathing in his eyes. He didn't notice that the door of the fridge was going red. People were backing away, saying 'he's a mutant.' Remy looked at the door and pulled his hand away. He quickly ran away from the door, just as it exploded. Remy sat on the floor, put his head on his knees and started to cry again. His mother ran over to him and quickly picked him up. They quickly ran out of the store. They heard Remy's father shout.

''HE IS A FREAK. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN MUTANT LOVER.''
