Group Fic
Chapter 10 by Ace
Mon Dieu, Remy though as he rubbed his eyes fiercely on their way up the stone walkway to the X-mansion. It hadn't even been three days and already 'dere's more crazy dames involved in this than you could shake a stick act. And now after finding all this out he still would have to deal with Rogue, Who I'm sure is still in a gloriously pissed off state. He and Ororo both entered the house for the first time since the "almost" wedding, and the feeling was still grim.
"I wonder if anyone else knows the events that have taken place here as of late."
"I'm sure they don't 'Roro, we are dealin' with some fairly sneaky bastards."
"Fairly?" she cocked an eyebrow.
"Alright, extremely sneaky."
"Well then, in the words of Logan, "we are royally fucked." They began to make their way to her attic loft to survey the damage left by Tropical Depression "Anna".
"I could get used to hearing you talk like that." He smirked.
"Get used to it later, we have people to save now…Speaking of, there's Rogue right now."
"What the hell is going on here? Haven't I been through enough, didn't I ask y'all to leave. Oh LeBeau! I can't believe you'd set foot in front of me with that whore of yours now!" she nearly screamed, and Ororo simply held in her anger as Remy cautiously walked ahead of her.
"Anna, I don't know who you want to be today, the pot or the kettle. But, that doesn't matter, we have something very serious to talk with you about…It has to do with Logan, and we need to do this in private…all three of us."
"What could the two of you possibly have to say to me?"
"Just come along Rogue, we don't have much time." Ororo urged, as Remy grabbed Rogue's gloved hand and ushered her down the stairs toward the car.
Once they were a good ways away from the mansion, the conversation started. "Well if we're coming this far to spill the beans then I have something I'd like to say before we get started…Remy, I had married Logan before I had ever decided to marry you."
Remy began to—but then decided, he had no room or right to be angry with her, for he knew full well that if he had gotten the chance he would have left her for Storm before this ever began…. "But then I had a talk with my momma."
"You had a talk with Mystique and didn't tell anyone about it." Ororo was flabbergasted.
"Well yes, she is still my momma and it was in the city, nowhere near the mansion…and she convinced me that it would be better to stay with you because if the time ever came for Storm the relinquish her duties I'd have more chance at gainin' power with you since y'all was so close."
This doesn't make any bloody sense, the child is completely blinded by her mother, even for all of the tings she's done…She's such a sad girl. Storm thought as she said this.
"Alright Rogue, I will never understand that but, I'm gonna lay this out as plainly as possible for you…the night we were engaged, Logan left the house, and never came back."
"But Remy, he's there right now."
"No Rogue, no, that's not Logan, that's your momma, Mystique."
"My momma wouldn't do that to me."
"Trust me he would, if it meant getting you away from the X-men and having you all to herself." He reasoned, Storm was still quiet.
"Alright fine, say she would…then where is Logan, who has him?" She inquired hypothetically, "The next this you'll tell me is Jean is holding him hostage the keep as some sex slave in Cape Cod."
"Jeanie's not there?" Ororo asked quickly and quietly.
"Nope, left a few days ago, told Scott she was scouting new students in New Jersey."
"Jean never scouts…only the Professor does that."
"I told you it couldn't have been my momma."
"Oh my dear, but it is your mother, and she has a new ally…Emma Frost."
"You can't be serious."
"Chere you're right, it all makes sense…Mystique wants Anna and Emma wants Scott; and they both want to see the X-men gone."
"We can't go home with Rogue; Mystique doesn't know we're back. And I'm sure Emma thinks we're dead; but someone will notice Rogue missing…Remy we can't leave those two women on the loose...what are we going to do?"
"I hope you have some friends in high places my love…because we're going to need some help."
