Remy opened a door to an empty room. "here you go petit." He said. "Remy said he'd take care of you."

Riley smiled. "Oui, you did. Thanks." She gave Remy a hug. "sorry I got you in trouble."

Remy squeezed his sister tightly. "Non you didn't petit. Remy not in trouble. Everything be fine now, you'll see." He said. He then let her go and left the room.

Once in the hall he sighed as he headed back down to the lower levels of the school. He wished he could believe his words but he knew that this was only the lull before the storm.

Once inside the meeting room Remy shut the door and then took a seat between Logan and Kurt. He looked at his team mates. "Remy sorry if he caused trouble but Petit needed Remy and da jet was da fastest way to get there." He said.

"Remy we understand that she needed help but why does she need your help so badly, she seems to have some control of her powers." Professor Xavier said.

Remy sighed heavily as he stood up and seemed to figure out how to explain. "There wasn't time. Remy was lucky to get there before the others as it was, and Petit is…." Remy shook his head.

"Others? Cajun, who's after the kid?" Logan asked calmly, almost urging his friend on.

Remy ran his hand through his hair. "Petit is Remy's responsibility. And the others who are after her are the members of the Guild." He explained. It was hard for him to talk about this subject. That's why he'd never gone home. It was to avoid unwanted questions and to try not to be pulled back into the craziness again.

"The guild? What's that?" Bobby asked.

" Da Guilds is Petit and Remy's Err other family. Our father's the leader. He kidnapped Petit so she could take her rightful place in da guild." Remy said.

"So your father kidnapped Riley? Why about your mother? Oy this is confusing Kitty said.

"Remy try to fix dat. When petit was just a baby our parents divorced. Our mère didn't want us growing up in the guild. She didn't agree with there way of life. She still respected their traditions and the way they were loyal to each other but she didn't approve of stealing or a lot of the other things the guild did and stood for. So Petit and Remy grow up visiting out father during the summers. That was the only time we'd stay with the guild. Then Remy come here. Everything fine." He said.

Remy paused. He didn't want their pity but they deserved to know what problems Riley's being here might cause.

"last night when Riley called I learned that our mère had died about two weeks ago. It turns out that Remy's mère placed Remy as Pettit's guardian. But before Riley could contact me our father took her to the guild. She was to be married to a prince of another guild as some sort of peace treaty. But Riley Anne's smart she managed to escape and called Remy to come fetch her before the guild found her again. On the way back Remy finds out she's a mutant and she caused that huge black out last year back home." He said telling his friends the who story.

Logan looked at his friend. "your telling me that they wanted to marry her off? She's what fifteen?" he growled.

Remy shook his head. "Riley Anne's seventeen, but you must understand that the guild doesn't see things the way we do. They feel that since she's princess of the guild it's her duty to do whatever's necessary for the guild. But Remy has a feeling that if our mère wasn't so opposed about the guild that they would have tried this marriage thing earlier."

Jean looked at Remy. "Riley's a princess?" she asked.

Remy nodded. "Oui, Princess of thieves."

Bobby frowned. "So your really the prince of thieves"? he asked.

"Oui." Remy replied.

"Ooh, Amara's going to get a run for her money." Bobby said, he could just imagine them mud wrestling in bikinis or something equally revealing.

Logan growled at bobby. "What ever your thinking ice cube forget it."

Bobby looked at Logan sheepishly.

Remy sighed. "Riley Anne isn't exactly found of the title, though she has learned to except it." He said.

"Gambit why do you keep calling her Riley Anne?" Rogue asked.

"Dat's her name though she likes to be called Riley. Remy don't know why she lets Remy call her dat. She wouldn't even let mère call her by dat name." he said.

"so you don't think that the guild will look for Riley?" Kurt asked.

Remy's eyes dimmed. "Non, not for awhile, though it be only a matter of time before they find Riley Anne."

Professor Xavier looked at Remy. "She'll be safe here, but now what about her mutation. We've seen her form orbs of electricity and then reabsorb it."

"Oui Petit can create and control electricity. She seems to have control of it except at times when she's err stressed out. Like on the way here, she fell asleep and she created two orbs."

"And in the hanger." Jean added.

Bobby grinned. "that was totally wicked. I thought for sure she was going to fry Scott." He said enthusiastically.

Everyone turned and glared at him.

Bobby shrank down into his seat. "tough crowd." He mumbled.

Kitty stood up. "I'm going to go show Riley around. She should like meet some kids her own age, that way she'll feel more at home here."

Professor Xavier nodded to the younger girl. "good idea kitty." He said as the girl turned to leave. He hoped the girls would become friends since they we're the same age. It would make things easier on Riley.
