Chapter 1
3 years after that little horrible ordeal with the kidnapping little Remy LeBeau was doing very well in growing up as all little children should having fun and being happy, Jean-Luc chuckled as he watched his son playing on the swings trying to get as high as he could. Looking at his watch he sighed he didn't want to leave yet but being a master thief and being reinstated as Guild leader Jean-Luc had a lot to do.
Calling over his nine year old whom began to pout a bit, Jean-Luc rolled his eyes when Remy asked to stay for another five minutes.
"No ya can't I told ya befo' that we have ta go now come on…" Jean-Luc sighed at the look on his nine year old's face. "Ya look pathetic ya know dat…oh alright ten minutes not a second more Remy ya hear me?" he smirked.
"Oui papa…" Remy grinned as he rushed over to the side of the building and played with the other children, Jean-Luc sat on a bench keeping a close eye on his son, looking at the big kids he was playing with, Remy was never laughed at because of his small height, since he always won every game he ever played.
Jean-Luc chuckled as he answered his ringing cell phone. "LeBeau…" he sighed, "We at da park what is so important…non…can't it wait half an hour…" Jean-Luc sighed as he looked behind him and frowned the very man he was talking to on the phone had just arrived in his car, slamming on the brakes he quickly parked the car and got out. Jean-Luc looked at his eldest son unimpressed, "Ya do know little kids play 'round here right?" he growled as he stood.
"Ya really need ta look at dis…" he pressed handing him a folder, Jean-Luc glanced behind his shoulder to his youngest son then opened the folder.
Henri smiled as he watched Remy play, it had been nearly three years since his father had brought his little brother back home, thankfully taking him off the streets and at his age he was already a very good little thief. Remy was actually making Jean-Luc act as he used to being childish and always made the man chase him around the yard. Broken from his thoughts he looked back to his father, Jean-Luc looked up. "How old is this information?" he asked.
"A couple hours…" Henri answered.
"Doesn't give us much time…alright send a few men to keep an eye on da shipment…I don like dis…sounds like a trap…"
"Which is why I rushed ovah here…" Henri chuckled then frowned as he looked back to his little brother, "What da hell…" Jean-Luc looked at Henri a bit confused, "REMY…MOVE…" he yelled and rushed over to his brother.

Remy was throwing a ball around with the four little boys he was playing with wearing a pair of sunglasses the kids weren't afraid of little Remy LeBeau since they couldn't see his red on black eyes. One of the kids threw the ball with a bit more force and it flew over Remy, Remy ran after it, the ball bounced over to one of the buildings nearby. As he bent to retrieve it he suddenly felt a bit dizzy leaning against the wall Remy dropped the ball and blinked his eyes and looked at his hands they seemed to tingle, a bit confused at the feeling as it quickly passed Remy shrugged and rested his left hand on the wall of the building and reached for the ball with his right.
He frowned as he now felt pain in his hands, he quickly stepped back thinking some insect had bitten him or something, then looked at the wall as it now glowed a faint pink.
Remy was beginning to get a little scared as he took another step back, the other children quickly ran to their mothers, Remy hadn't even heard someone call out to him.
When Henri saw the wall glow, he rushed over to his little brother, hoping nothing bad would happen but just in case, "REMY…MOVE…" he yelled, seeing that the boy hadn't budged Henri quickly wrapped his arms around the nine year old, and yanked him to his chest running away from the wall, as the wall blew Henri bent to one knee and covered his brother with his body to protect him, thankfully it was a small explosion and he had run far enough from the blast.
Jean-Luc rushed to his sons looking to Henri, "Ya alright?"
"Yeah we fine…" he answered looking down to his brother, Henri breathed a sigh of relief and hugged him close, then handed him to his father.
Jean-Luc kneeled down to Remy looking him over, "Come ere petite ya alright?" he asked eyeing him for any injuries, "Scared da hell out of me, ya okay?" Remy bit his bottom lip and slowly nodded his head.
"I-I didn't m-ean ta…" Remy breathed, before he could say another word Jean-Luc pulled him forward into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"It's alright…wasn't ya fault…" he whispered in the boy's ear kissing his cheek, standing with Remy still in his arms Jean-Luc closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, then looked at what was left of the wall he had almost lost his son… "Let's go home Henri…" he whispered and made his way to the car, sitting in the back seat with Remy. Jean-Luc tried to calm his youngest.
XxXxX
At home Jean-Luc unlocked the front door nudging Remy to enter before him while Henri parked the car in the garage and went to inform Tante of the little accident in the park, Remy sulked as he slowly entered the house. Seeing this Jean-Luc gently pushed him up the stairs, entering the bathroom he picked him up and sat him on the counter. Remy hadn't spoken the entire trip home Jean-Luc grabbed a face cloth from the cupboard and turned on the faucet dipping the cloth in the warm water he washed Remy's face, then lifted the sleeves of his shirt to check for cuts and bruises. "Ya sure ya not hurt?" he asked, turning Remy's arms in his hands.
The moment he touched his hands Remy jerked them back, "Non…" he whimpered, afraid to hurt his father.
Jean-Luc quirked an eyebrow in confusion then sighed, "Remy…" Jean-Luc cupped the boy's face and lifted it to meet his eyes, "I ain't afraid of ya, and I nevah will be…ya remember what happened?" he asked.
"Don' know was jus playin' an I touched da wall an it started glowin'" he whispered bowing his head.
"Come ere…" Jean-Luc leaned forward and hugged him again.
"Non…I'll hurt you…" Remy quickly tried to push him away, but Jean-Luc had a firm grip on the boy.
"I ain't gonna push ya away petite…" he whispered kissing his forehead, "Come on…" he coaxed picking him up and heading downstairs. Making his way to his office Jean-Luc sat at his desk with Remy on his lap and turned on the computer. Waiting for it to boot up, he leaned back and looked at his son who kept his hands to his chest afraid to touch anything, Jean-Luc leaned him back and chuckled softly as he rested his chin on top of his head and ran his left hand on his back, "It's gonna be alright petite…" he whispered, and typed in a few commands on the keyboard.
Remy closed his eyes, and had managed to fall asleep. When he woke up about an hour later he looked around he was still leaned up against his father, "What ya doin?" Remy yawned and rubbed at his eyes then glanced over to the screen.
"I am looking fo' a little information…" he answered, turning Remy to face the screen. "See…what's dis say?" he smirked wrapping an arm around Remy's waist and resting his chin on the boy's right shoulder.
"X-Xav-ier's sch-ool fo gi-fted youngs-ters…Wes-chest-er New-York…" Remy frowned at the address then looked to his father. "What's dis place…you sendin' me away?" he looked on horrified.
"Non…non non absolutely not Remy…" He answered kissing his cheek, "Now listen you know you be a mutant…" Remy nodded, "…maybe makin' da wall blow up is a power that jus' popped up…now I'm gonna have a long talk with dis man…find out if it could be a possibility…if it is we gonna go on a little trip but only aftah we check on him ta make sure dis not be a joke or something…if it ain't it's jus' ta see if he can help ya or not okay?"
"Ya not gonna leave me dere wit those strangers…all alone…are ya?"
Jean-Luc smiled, "Nevah…but If I do have ta leave cause of business you'll be with Tante, uncle Jacques will be wit me and you won't get bored wit Lapin though you two will have ta behave..." he chuckled when Remy grinned wickedly, "…dat's my boy…no worries petite…" he smiled, kissed his cheek and put him down. "Now I smell something cooking in da kitchen…why dont'cha go sneak in dere and steal us a few cookies…" he grinned with a wink.
Remy smiled and bound out of his father's office fully intent on trying to get by Tante…it had never been done before but he was determined to snatch a few of those yummy cookies from the old woman he'd always thought to be his mother.
Jean-Luc chuckled as he picked up the phone and dialed Xavier's number. Waiting a few moments he heard a man on the other line. "Xavier's school for gifted youngster, Logan speaking…"
"Oui is Mr.Xavier nearby?" he asked.
"He is who's this?"
"I be Jean-Luc LeBeau…May I speak wit him please?"
"Can I ask about what?"
"I'd like some information about his school…" Jean-Luc rolled his eyes at the man on the other line, 'Put im on da line already…' he drawled in his head.
"Alright hold on…" Logan sighed as he put the man on hold.
A few moments later Jean-Luc heard a calm voice flow through the line, "This is Charles Xavier, how may I help you?"
"Oui bonjour M'sieu how are ya today?" Jean-Luc chirped.
"I am very well thank-you…"
"Well dat's good…My name is Jean-Luc LeBeau and I'd like ta ask ya a few questions if I may?"
"But of course sir, by all means…"
"Your school is for mutants oui?"
"Yes that it is…"
"Is it just for education or do you have people dere ta help da students wit dere powers?"
Charles smiled, "Both actually…"
"Forgive my language sir, but this school is not some kind of bullshit prank ta lure mutants and send dem off somewhere is it?"
"Of course not sir, no harm has ever come to any of my students and they are very well protected from anyone who would try to do them harm."
"Hmmm ya know I so hate doing these kinds of conversations on da phone would it be alright if we came for a little visit, a guided tour of sorts?"
"Of course sir, we'd be happy to meet you…you did say we?"
"Yes my son be a mutant…I'm afraid his powers have started to surface…which is why I'd like ta meet ya face ta face…I may be a very trustin' man but when it comes to my boy I be very protective…ya understand me sir?"
"Yes of course…when exactly can I expect you and your son?"
Jean-Luc thought for a moment as he calculated in his head how long it would take his men to find out what they could about Xavier and his school, he smirked when Remy quickly rushed into the room wide eyed climbing into his lap four cookies in hand, a scowling Tante at the door. "You be lucky chile I have a lot of cooking ta do…you'll spoil ya dinner…" she scolded in a whisper then went back to the kitchen Jean-Luc chuckled as he watched Remy place two cookies on the desk and eat the other two.
"Let's say…the end of the week how's dat sound?" he asked.
"That would be perfect sir, we await your visit…"
"Hmmm I'm sure ya do…" Jean-Luc answered as he hung up, then looked to Remy "Took ya what three minutes…good boy…" he smirked tickling his little boy, "Tell me did Tante yell…did she, did she?" he grinned. Remy squirmed and laughed until tears streamed down his face, Jean-Luc lifted him up and kissed his forehead, "Ya okay now?" he asked.
Remy laughed softly as he leaned his forehead against his shoulder, "Oui…" he answered with a small sigh.
"We might be goin' on a trip at the end of da week alright…now I want all ya homework done and I don want ta hear no arguments from ya, ya understand me fiston…?"
"Oui…we gonna go to dat school in New York?"
"Oui and ya bettah behave with Tante…aftah snatching these I'm sure she'll want ta get even." He chuckled chewing on one of the cookies giving the second one to Remy. "Alright now ya get washed up for dinner, I still got a little work ta do." He gently put his son on his feet, "And ya behave yaself petite…"
"Oui papa…" Remy promised with a grin.
XxXxX
The week had quickly passed by and the LeBeau's were getting ready to leave for the airport, Henri had done a thorough search of the institute and found that it was legitimate he now had Remy in his arms and was throwing him in the air, "Ya gonna be a brat…ya gonna cause trouble I know it…" he grinned putting his brother on his feet and watching him run around in circles.
"I will not…" Remy protested as Henri caught him again and spun him in his arms making the little thief laugh.
"Hehe ya bettah, I got twenty bucks says you gonna drive those people at dat school crazy…" he chuckled hugging Remy and putting his brother on his feet, then ruffled his hair.
"Ey don' encourage 'im…" Jean-Luc warned, as he took Mattie's bag from her hand, and grasping Remy's hand with the other, he led them out to the car.
Henri chuckled as he took the other bags and dropped them in the trunk, "Awwww c'mon père da petite needs a little fun…" he chuckled closing the trunk, and watching Remy climb into the back seat.
"Buckle up Remy…" Jean-Luc smirked as he closed the door and turned to his eldest son, "Alright, you in charge anyting happens call me…"
"Oui père…" Henri snickered, as he watched his father get in the front passenger telling the driver to head for the airport, where they would meet Jacques his brother in law along with his nine year old son Lapin.
XxXxX
Arriving at the airport Remy ran around the car a little excited since it was his first time in an airplane, while Jean-Luc and the driver grabbed the bags, Mattie called for Remy who ran to her and grasped her hand, entering the building, Remy looked around for his cousin and grinned as he spotted Lapin squirming in his father's grasp it was his first time in a plane too, "Is it too late ta sedate them befo' we get on da plane Jean?" Jacques grinned, as he let his son stand on his feet.
"I'm afraid it is…" Jean-Luc chuckled.
"Plane leaves in an hour…" Jacques sighed, "Wit these two together dey gonna be a handful…" he smirked. "Alright you two, sit and stay…" he warned as he and Jean-Luc left to get their bags checked.
"We will…" both boys answered with an evil grin.
"Mon dieu..." Jacques whispered shaking his head, while Jean-Luc chuckled softly.
As the parents left, the children whispered to each other then glanced at Tante for a few moments, slowly getting up as they thought her attention at this moment was occupied since she was looking through one of her carry on bags, the boys carefully went behind Tante and were about to sneak away. Tante quirked an eyebrow as she took out her knitting needles, "Don' even tink about it mes p'tit anges…" she warned, the boys frowned and returned to their seats pouting a little.
Half an hour later Jean-Luc and Jacques arrived to get the others informing them that they were now boarding the plane, Jean-Luc took Remy by the hand and waited in line to give the woman at the door their tickets. The boys shared a row with Mattie while the parents were nice and comfortable sitting behind them, while in their seats the boys mostly chatted, played with a few toys or read comics, while Mattie continued her knitting.
About an hour had passed and the boys were passed out since they were too excited to sleep the night before, "You tink Remy's gonna like it dere?" Jacques asked turning to his brother in law.
"I don' tink so…at first he thought I was gonna leave him dere…"
"Aha…poor chile…" Jacques chuckled softly.
"I jus' hope they can help him he was so scared when we brought him home, didn't wanna touch nothin' or no one…"
"Well accordin' ta Henri da Xavier fellah is well known ta help mutants…"
"Hmmm…me tinks dis gonna be a long trip…" Jean-Luc groaned as the stewardess passed by informing everyone they would be landing in the next fifteen minutes and to buckle up, Jean-Luc gave a small nod then stood to check on the boys who were still sleeping, stepping into the row, he carefully so as not to wake them buckled them in. Sitting back down Jean-Luc chuckled, "Enjoy da silence til it lasts…" he mumbled as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Jacques chuckled as he did the same.
Half an hour later, all five where now in a rented car on its way to the institute, "You two excited?" Tante asked as she was sitting between the two.
"Is there a lot of mutants like me dere papa?" Remy asked as he leaned against Tante.
"That there are petite, though I think dey got different types of powers…"
"Tink maybe some of them are as old as we are?" Lapin asked with a smirk.
"Maybe…" Jacques chuckled, "You two thinkin' bout getting a few accomplices?"
"Non…" they both answered coyly with a grin.
Jacques chuckled at the tone in their voices and spied the boys in his mirror. "Dat can't be good…"
XxXxX
Arriving at the institute they were welcomed by two men one looked a bit gruff while the other was in a wheelchair, "Jean-Luc LeBeau I presume?" the man in the wheelchair smiled. As he watched the small family step out of the car.
Jean-Luc approached with a grin of his own recognizing the voice, "Charles Xavier…" he answered shaking the man's hand.
"Welcome to my school…"
"Aheh thank-you M'sieu…" Jean-Luc turned to the car motioning for Remy to step forward. Remy slowly walked to his father leaning against him, "…and dis be mon fils Remy…" Jean-Luc looked up and frowned, at the look on Charles' face "You seem a bit surprised M'sieu?"
"I didn't expect him to be this young…hello Remy…" Charles smiled.
Remy just gave him a quick glance, "M'sieu…" he whispered keeping his head bowed.
Logan chuckled and kneeled down, "Ya don't have ta be shy around here kiddo…"
Remy only closed his eyes, Logan quirked an eyebrow in question as he looked to the boy's father, "Remy's a bit shy wit his eyes…dey not da usual colors…"
"Oh yeah…shouldn't be shy around here pup, we got all kinds of people here, our physician is big, furry and blue…" Logan chuckled, Remy gave a small smile but still refused to show them his eyes, Jean-Luc chuckled and ruffled Remy's hair pushing him back towards Lapin and Tante who were leaning against the car.
"Please come in make yourselves at home…" Charles smiled as he turned and entered the mansion all five entered the rec room where a few students where hanging out, "May we have the room please?" Charles asked, the students stood and left the room, while the adults sat on the couch, the two nine year olds sat on the floor playing with a few toys they had brought.
"Before we start I must ask the only one with powers is Remy correct?" Jean-Luc nodded, "Do you know what they are?"
"Well last week he touched a wall…and it blew up, scared da hell out of me…"
Logan and Charles quirked an eyebrow at the man's answer, hoping that he wasn't just going to leave the boy in their care and never come back. "Mr.LeBeau there is nothing to be afraid of your son is just starting out on his powers with a little training…"
Jean-Luc rolled his eyes as he cut him off, "The wall collapsed nearly crushin my boy that's what scared da hell out of me…" he smirked, "I told ya on da phone I be very protective of 'im, ya didn't actually tink I'd leave him here and nevah come back did ya?"
"Please excuse my suspicions it's just that it has happened before…"
"Aheh…won't happen wit my boy I love 'im too much…" Jean-Luc chuckled as he glanced behind the couch to the two cousins as they continued playing.
"Does Remy have some control over his powers, do you know what caused them to come out, was he angered, depressed?"
"He was playin' ball wit a few kids and…It hasn't happened again if that's what ya askin…"
"It might just be a fluke…sometimes the amount of power can accumulate and just want to be let out…usually powers on a mutant don't manifest themselves until after puberty hits…" Charles explained then was interrupted by a tiny voice.
"Professor…the others are being mean…" a red-haired boy wearing a pair of sunglasses entered, walking up to the man.
Charles smiled, "Scott have you met Remy and…" he looked to Jean-Luc who grinned.
"Lapin…" he answered. And glanced to Jacques, "His boy…"
"You called your son after a rabbit?" Logan smirked.
"That's not his real name I call 'im Lapin well cause he be very quick…" Jacques chuckled.
Charles smiled, "Scott why don't you introduce yourself to the boys…" he nudged the eleven-year-old towards the two. Scott smiled and ran behind the couch.
"Hi I'm Scott…" the boy sat down beside the two, Remy and Lapin looked at each other then at Scott and grinned wickedly Scott looked at them confused.
Mattie sighed as she spoke up, "Don' even tink about it…" she warned, the men looked at her in confusion, Jean-Luc glanced behind the couch.
"Ey…be nice petite…"
"Oui papa…" Remy chirped.
"I mean it Remy…"
"I am bein' nice…" Remy smirked.
"Wipe dat grin off ya face petite…" Jean-Luc continued, Remy huffed and stuck out his tongue. Turning back to Xavier, Jean-Luc waited for the man to continue.
"Does the mutant gene run in your family?" Charles asked with a smile.
"Non, not dat I know of…"
"In that case Remy is the first in your family to…"
"Not exactly…" Jean-Luc cut him off.
"What do ya mean?" Logan frowned as he leaned back in his seat resting his right arm on the back of his chair.
"I adopted Remy when he was about six months old…" Jean-Luc explained.
"Do you know of his family history?"
"Non…"
"Well does Remy's birth parents…"
"Non…an don't ask again…" Jean-Luc cut him off knowing what the man was about to ask. "Don' mean ta be rude but ah I didn't actually find my boy at an adoption agency ya understand me?" Jean-Luc narrowed his eyes a bit.
Sensing the man's emotions Charles sighed, "I believe I do…"
"…an he had a tough time with da last couple of years…so don' ask im…" Jean-Luc warned.
Charles frowned a bit sensing a bit of anger from the man, "Very well…You said before that his eyes were not the usual color?"
"That dey aren't…Dey be red on black…" Jean-Luc answered relaxing a bit.
"Would it be alright to allow our doctor to look at him?" Charles asked.
Jean-Luc cringed the moment he mentioned the word doctor, as Jacques rolled his eyes and stood, "I'll find 'im…" he sighed as he walked out of the room.
Logan and Xavier looked at each other then at Jean-Luc in confusion. "Non it wouldn't Remy hates doctors and hospitals…he tends ta avoid dem by hiding he long gone by now…"
"Long gone?" Logan stood and went behind the couch only to find Lapin and Scott sitting on the floor. "Where is he?" he asked.
"Interesting I didn't even sense him leave…" Charles spoke up fascinated.
"Ya mentioned a doctor looking at him so my boy disappeared…" Jean-Luc smirked as he heard Jacques call out to him, "Excuse me M'sieu…" Jean-Luc sighed as he stood and walked to his brother in law exchanging a few words. Logan watched as Jean-Luc slowly made his way across the hall to the third door which was open and kneeled down with a smile his arms extended, "Come on out Remy…I promise no doctor alright?"
After a few moments the nine year old slowly looked around and walked up to his father who picked him up and returned to the couch, Jean-Luc sat his son beside him who hid his face from the men. Lapin looked up and ran to his father climbing in his lap he whispered something in his père's ear who gave a small grin, "Would it be alright if Scotty showed the boys around, dey might be into a little explorin'" he suggested.
Jean-Luc whispered something in Remy's ear provoking a small smile from the nine year old.
Charles smiled, "Of course…Scott why don't you take them to Storm's garden…"
"Okay Professor…" Scott chirped as he motioned for the boys to follow him.
XxXxX
After about ten minutes Remy looked behind them as did Lapin, seeing that the coast was clear, they both slowly stopped walking and stepped back letting Scott ramble on and on not even noticing that his two guests were no longer following him.
"Wow dis place is huge…" Lapin gawked as he examined one of the pictures on the wall.
"No kiddin…let's go have some fun…" Remy grinned as they made their way downstairs, peeking back at Scott who still hadn't noticed that they were no longer behind him, "Can ya believe he still talkin' wit himself…" he chuckled as they began to creep down the stairs trying to be as silent as they could, practicing one of the first rules of thieving.
First they had made their way into the kitchen looking through the fridge and grabbing a snack, then they tried to break into a few locked rooms, "Jeez Remy yo père's da best there is an ya can't unlock one little door?" Lapin sighed his disappointment.
"Oh shut-up…ya don' know how either…" Remy growled as he fiddled with the lock.
"Papa said dat picking locks was my next lesson…" Lapin argued.
"Shut-up ya gonna get us caught…" Remy whispered as he dropped to his knees, "C'mon let's go somewhere else..." he sighed.
"You givin up?" Lapin looked at his cousin with wide eyes.
"Yes…" Remy chirped.
"Rule number one Remy nevah give up…"
"Dere's probably nothing in dat room anyways…come on I tink I hear dat Scotty boy…"
The boys walked around for like ten minutes and stumbled upon and elevator, "Where ya tink dis leads to?" Lapin asked a bit curious as he and Remy entered. Lapin looked at the buttons, "Whats a Danger room?"
"How should I know?" Remy sighed as he pushed on the button.
"Remy!" Lapin looked at the doors as they slowly closed.
"What you wanted ta know…only one way ta find out…" Remy grinned.
When the elevator doors opened the two little boy's each peeked out to see if there was anyone around as they heard a few voices, sneaking out they heard a few men talk, because they didn't want to get caught as the voices grew louder, Lapin grabbed Remy by the arm and they sneaked into the nearest room, looking around as the doors automatically closed the boys both quirked an eyebrow, "Big metal room…wit no furniture…hnnn…"
"Why'd ya bring me here?" Remy sighed.
"We needed ta hide ya idjit…" Lapin growled.
"Well dey have ta be gone by now come on…" Remy smirked but the moment they had entered, the door had disappeared and a sudden hum filled their ears as parts of the room began to form an obstacle course.
"What's going on…how do we get out?"
"I don know…Argh dis place sucks…let us out…" Remy growled as he began kicking where the door used to be.
Both boys froze when they heard machinery running, turning they saw a buzz saw and a few weapons that started shooting lasers everywhere.
Good, bad sucks...
