Sorry it took so long I've been working constantly, some of you will know what it's like when you have to get back into your work, or even if your at school.
Thanks for reviewing it's much appreciated! I loved all your reviews so much! Also, Courtney, thanks for reviewing and I like the idea it's very sneaky and if it eas Rogue in the actual movies, it would be a better ending. I'll defiantly think about it, but this story is going to go further than the movies. You'll all see what I mean.
It's Just Not the Cajun's Day
Xavier Mansion
Jean and Scott were in the kitchen discussing their wedding plans. Scott was so excited about the wedding and wanted it to be perfect. He especially wanted it all go Jean's way and how she wanted it. Scott wanted her to consider his plans a little, but as long as she was happy, he didn't care.
Jean however, had different feelings. She knew that she didn't want to get married yet, she much preferred a long engagement. Mainly because she wanted to sort out her feelings for Logan before she married the man of her dreams.
"And I was thinking we could use roses since there your favourite flowers." said Scott. Jean smiled weakly as she went deep into her thoughts. Scott was right for her in every single way. He was the man she had always wanted to be with, and the man she wanted to spend her life with. Logan though, was the total opposite of that. He wasn't the man of her dreams, or the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. So why did she want to be with him? Basically because she wanted a taste of him, and because no one like Logan's type had never shown any sort of attraction towards her. Logan was right for her in so many ways, but just not her normal ways. He fulfilled her sort of 'dark side', where Scott fulfilled her good.
Why did this have to be so difficult, if she knew who she loved more, then shouldn't that be her choice? Scott was the one she loved, so why did she crave to be with Logan when she was with Scott, and crave Scott when she was with Logan? It didn't make any sense, and she knew, even though she was a doctor, that she'd never figure it all out.
"…Jean, Jean!" shouted Scott. Jean snapped out of her day dream and smiled.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure, whatever you want." she said quickly, not hearing a thing he had said. He frowned sadly which made her want to hold him.
"Your hearts not into this huh?" asked Scott. Jean shook her head.
"Of course it is Scott, I'm just thinking." she said as she put her hand on his shoulder. Scott shrugged it off and sighed.
"About Logan?" he asked. Jean gulped and looked pretty obvious. "I know you have feelings for him Jean, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out."
"I don't have feelings for him Scott, I'm just-."
"I've been trying to look past it ya know? I figured that it would go away. But I see the way you look at him, just like the way I used to look at you before we were together." Scott interrupted. Jean didn't know what to say, she knew she couldn't kiss him and get away with it this time.
"It's not like that, I…I've never had someone like Logan feel this way towards me, in fact, I've never had two guys who really liked me before. It's a strange situation and I can't handle it. You know me. It's not that I have feelings for him, which I don't, it's just that I don't know how to look at him or how to speak to him ya know?" Jean explained half heartedly telling the truth.
"So why do you always look so…guilty?" he asked.
"I guess it's because I feel guilty that he likes me and I'm with you, and I feel guilty towards you because he likes me." she lied. "Scott," Jean got closer to Scott and put her hand on his chest. "I am worried about Logan; I do have feelings for him, but only as a close friend."
"Whatever you two have, I don't like it and I don't want you to talk to him anymore." said Scott as he took her hand and held it tightly. Jean pulled an angry face and took her hand out of his firm grasp.
"You can't tell me who I can be friends with Scott." she said.
"I can when you're my w-."
"Get in 'ere now!" shouted a voice. Scott and Jean looked at each other. She couldn't help but smile.
"It's Logan." she said as she ran out of the kitchen in the foyer, Scott behind her. Logan was holding Remy's trench coat collar and pushed him onto the floor. "Logan what are you doing!" Jean shouted as she and Scott ran over to the scene.
"I was tempted to kill him on the way but I thought it was better that I did it in front of everyone else!" shouted Logan as he got his claws out. Remy stayed on the ground, knowing that the wolf man could kill him if he made any sudden moves.
"Logan put your claws away!" shouted Scott. "What's going on?"
"Gumbo here didn't tell us about his little date he had with Rogue!" he shouted, feeling the killing emotion taking over him. Remy closed his eyes as he felt Jean and Scott's surprise and disappointment with his empathy.
"Remy? You went on a date with Rogue? Is this true?" Jean asked as she stepped towards the Cajun. Remy sighed and looked up at the red head.
'She looks bon from dis angle too.' he thought as he looked at the red heads features from down below. "Qui, it b' true, but Remy can explain 'f de homme don' try t' slash moi into little pieces." Logan growled as he put his claws away.
"I can't believe you didn't tell us where Rogue was Remy, you know she's sick, you know she needs help!" shouted Scott.
"Remy knows dat, but she was wit' de Brotherhood, she says dat she didn' wanna come back 'coz she knew you'd treat her like a lab rat. She just wanted t' get better den come back." Remy explained. "I know I should have tol' ya, but I t'ought I wo' doin' de right t'ing, now I see I was in de wrong." Logan grabbed him by his collar and looked him dead in the eye.
"Yeah," his claws slowly came out and pierced Remy's neck. "Ya should have."
"Logan!" both Jean and Scott shouted. Logan looked to there direction and then back to Remy and growled.
"I knew I should have killed ya when I had the chance." he said as he pushed him back down and walked away. "I need some time out." Jean watched as she slowly went up stairs. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Everyone knew that Rogue meant the world to him, and seeing her in this position was painful for him, all she wanted to do was comfort him and tell him everything would be alright.
"I think you've got some more explainin' to do mister." said Scott.
Hallway
As Logan stormed down the hallway upstairs towards him room, he saw a girl he had never seen before smiling like a Cheshire cat. He wasn't like everyone else, Logan never bothered to memorise everyone's faces, but he couldn't place her. She didn't look like a student, more like a business woman although she was a child.
"Hey." he said as he walked over to her. She turned around and gulped as she saw the man coming towards her, looking angry. Jubilee noticed him from the picture she saw yesterday of the X Men. She hadn't met him yet, but everyone told her to be careful of him since he had a short temper with kids. She had to admit though, with her hormones raging, he looked pretty good.
"Um…hi." she said as he stood in front of her, doing a little wave. She was nervous about meeting him since she knew he was a killer, Jean had told him so. But she did say he was a softy once you get to know him.
"I don't think I've seen ya around." he said. Jubilee gulped, was he questing her being in this house? Did he think she had come though the window?
"I'm not a spy." she said quickly. He looked confused, but a smile came upon his face. She was scared of him. He could see it in her enticing, sapphire diamond eyes.
"I never said ya was." he stepped forward a little making Jubilee step back. He could almost laugh at her reaction towards him. "Ya knew here?" She shook her head.
"No. I'm here with Dr McCoy as his assistant." she said.
"Who's Dr McCoy?" asked Logan.
"Jean sent him to come here with everything going off." she said steadily, still scared of him. She didn't know why, he looked a little mysterious, but she liked that. 'Guess I'm just scared in case he gets those 'claws' I've heard so much about out, and cuts me into little pieces.'
"Oh…aren't you a little young to be an assistant?" he asked. She growled and folded her arms. Killer or not, she did not like being called a child, and she knew that's what he meant by 'young'.
"The nerve! I'm like, capable of anything! I'm not a kid!" she shouted. Logan took a step back as the girl went on a rampage. "I've had enough of people not taking me seriously, I'm fifteen, that's not a kid!"
"Wow, calm down." Logan said as he put his hands up in defence. "Didn't mean any harm." she breathed slowly and looked to the other side of Logan angrily, not even wanting to look at him. Not because she was angry, because she was embarssed. She had a short temper, and sometimes, she went way too far.
"…Erm…I should go." she said as she walked past him, hiding her face. He turned to watch her leave.
"What's ya name?" he asked her. She turned back round, her jet black hair shining.
"Jubilee." he smiled. The name suited her.
The Foyer
Remy was sat on the stairs in the foyer thinking. Jean and Scott left a couple of minutes after Logan went off since Remy wouldn't tell them anything until Logan clamed down so he could also tell them. Plus, he was feeling as though he had betrayed the X Men. Rogue hadn't been there for him like the X Men, yet he chose a woman over his friends. Just like he always did. But the thing was, she wasn't like any other woman he had met. His connection with her was so strong that it made his head hurt. He had only met her a few weeks ago, and he couldn't get her out of his head.
He thought by not telling the X Men where her location was, or that she was safe, she'd thank him, but she didn't. Then he thought he could get to know her privately if he didn't tell the X Men, but that didn't happen either. Remy knew what he was, he was an idiot. He was always thinking with his balls and never with his head.
Remy was cut short of his thinking time as he heard the elevator stop, open, and though it came out and angry looking Bobby, and a 'trying to keep it calm' Kitty.
"Bobby, don't do anything you'll regret." said Kitty. Remy knew Kitty must have told him, he didn't blame her. Remy knew the odds between Kitty keeping this from a guy she loved, and keeping a secret from a guy she could hardly call friend. Bobby was still walking towards him, his fist turning to ice.
"Oh, don't worry, I won't!" he said as he punched Remy in the face. Remy fell to the floor, screaming in agony as he felt the solid ice punch his around his jaw. He was surprised Bobby didn't break his jaw. "You son of a bitch!" Bobby grabbed Remy by his trench coat and looked him in his demon eyes. "You slept with my girlfriend!"
Remy was slightly taken back, but knew Bobby would say anything to hit him. "Non mon ami, Remy didn' sleep wit' ya ami. I promise ya dat!" Remy said before he got another punch.
"So what, ya just used her, touched her?" Remy shook his head and Kitty came from behind and patted Bobby on the back.
"I've already told you, it was just a date. Remy was doing you a favour looking out for her." Kitty lied.
"A favour? Yeah, thanks for that." said Bobby as he punched the Cajun again without his iced hand. Remy couldn't breathe.
"I-I didn't…touch her…" he said.
"Yeah right, like I believe that a ladies man wouldn't go for a hot Southern girl who's dark side has come out making her devious!" shouted Bobby.
"It wasn't like dat-."
"-Then what was it like?"
"We jus' 'ad a couple o' drinks is all." Remy lied. "Not'in happened between us, I swear it. I know she's goin' t'rough a rough time, I t'ought I wo' doin' de right t'ing bah lookin' out fo' 'er."
"She's not yours to look after ass hole!" shouted Bobby as he punched Remy again. Remy knew he could get up and kick Bobby's ass, but Bobby was right and Remy was wrong. He deserved everything he got from Bobby. But the only thing was, Remy didn't regret what he did with Rogue. He knew he should have, in fact he almost felt bad for not, but he just couldn't help but feel like it was a good thing to meet her. Like it was leading him to something.
"Bobby just like, let him go!" shouted Kitty as she tried to get him off of the Cajun.
"No, it's time he got what was coming to him!" Bobby iced his hand and went to punch him…
Xavier's office
"What…what do you mean?" asked Jean Grey as she, Scott, Beast and Tessa sat in Xavier's office. Beast paused for a second, letting everyone take in what he had just said. He knew that this was hard to accept, and he knew some of them would be disgusted.
"The major pharmaceutical company has found a way to suppress the mutant X gene…permanently." said Beast again. Jean blinked with confusion.
"What!" Scott shouted. "But…they can't, it's impossible! We're not a disease!" no one replied to Scott's defence. He was right, they knew it, but the public didn't. They feared the, and they couldn't change that.
"Maybe, but the people are calling it a cure." said Tessa.
"But there's nothing to cure, there's nothing wrong with us!" Scott protested. Jean out a hand on his shoulder.
"They don't think that though Scott, they think this is the best thing that could happen."
"Well there wrong!" Beast sighed. He knew Scott would react the most. To him, just like the Professor, mutants were human, and they were all the same. But when humans prosecuted them and called them a disease, he knew Scott, unlike the Professor, could get aggressive.
"I know Scott, and I think it's disgusting, for some mutants though, this could be a new chance to start over." Beast explained. Jean nodded in agreement. Mutants didn't have to take it, only those who wanted to.
"Then there cowards, who in the right mind would want this so called cure?"
"People who haven't got the same powers as you Scott. Come on, don't tell me your not a little tempted?" asked Tessa. "You can't see without hurting people, other mutants might have similar powers, who are you to call them cowards, when all they want is a peaceful life while they can?"
"I'm an X Man, that's who I am. And I'm not gonna sit around and watch this happen. The Professor wouldn't want us to!"
"No, he wouldn't, but he most defiantly wouldn't want you to get wound up over it. We can't to anything about this cure, but some people mi-." Jean stopped and put her hand on her head and closed her eyes softly.
"Jean!" asked Scott worriedly.
"There's a fight downstairs…Bobby…Gambit…hurry!" shouted Jean.
The Foyer
"Stop it Bobby!" shouted Kitty as she looked down upon the two fighting men. "Both of you!" Remy had given up letting Bobby push him around; the boy was stronger than he had thought. Now he had to take him out otherwise he'd probably end up in hospital. Though, Remy knew he could just blow him up, but he was guessing the X Men wouldn't be very pleased redecorating the room.
Bobby stood up quickly and froze Remy's feet so he couldn't kick him back down. Remy struggled for a second until he put his hand on the ice and blew it up. Remy then stood up and looked at Bobby, breathing rapidly.
"You can never be honest can you? You can never be an honest man, you're pretending, and the X Men are just your excuse for pretending to be something you're not." said Bobby. Remy looked at him exhausted and then flapped his hands, just not caring anymore.
"Fine, ya wan' Remy t' b' honest? I kissed your ami again when we wen' on our date." said Remy. Bobby looked at him and growled as he punched him. Remy didn't fall to the ground, but backed up a little. "Woah, d'ya ya mind? Remy did you a favour!" Bobby looked at him in disbelief and hit him again, Remy not falling down. "See, dis is why Remy never uses honesty, it always goes wrong fo' 'im. An' stop doin' dat!"
"Stop kissing my girlfriend!" he shouted back.
"Maybe Remy will when you start kissin' 'er." Bobby punched him again and Remy this time fell to the floor.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You think that you can round kissing other people's girlfriends who are ill. Dude, you make me sick." Remy slowly got up.
"Listen t' Remy, fo' once." Bobby rolled his eyes. "I went on a date t' see Rogue an' how she was doin'. An' Remy'll admit, he was intrigued bah her." Bobby went to punch him but Remy put his hands in the air to make sure he wouldn't. "Jus' listen…I knew dat you were too scared t' go near 'er 'coz ya wanted t' move on. Remy figured dat maybe, she needed someone t' lean on, Remy t'ougbt dat guy could b' 'im, but should b' you." Bobby stepped back a little, looking a little taken aback. "So in a way, it wasn' fo' moi, it was fo' you an' Rogue." Bobby stared at him, not knowing what to say. Kitty smiled a little bit, not knowing if he was being honest or not, but it was a nice thought.
"If like, only you let him talk in the first place." said Kitty to Bobby.
"So, we even?" asked Remy. Bobby looked at him in disgust.
"Even?" he scoffed. "You kissed my girlfriend man, took away my pride, and made me look like the bad guy in all this!" Remy looked down, not knowing what to say. The X Men came running in to see what was going on, but found the three standing, talking. "But you know the worst part in all this? Rogue's the one who suffers. Her powers are going mental, and all she needs right now is us fighting for her. Now thanks to you, she thinks she's lost me, has nothing and attacked you and Logan. Nice work Remy, you should be real proud of that." Bobby walked past him, pushing his shoulder against him harshly and walked past the X Men who looked disappointed in Remy.
Remy looked back to them and felt ashamed. Bobby was right; he was a arrogant vain man.
Med Bay
The room was dark, but the moon shone through the windows. Xavier lay in bed his eyes closed, he looked peaceful.
Wake up Charles
Wake up
Xavier started to fidget a little.
Time to wake up Charles, so wake up
Wake up
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the window door was open which made him a little cold. He got up and walked over to them, shutting them and looking out of the window. He had always thought that the area which the mansion was laid upon had a beautiful view.
Wake up
Wake up
"I am awake." he said as he turned to the room. "See."
Wake up Charles
Wake up, the time has come
"But can you not see that I am awake? Look at me, my eyes are open!" he shouted getting aggravated.
Time to wake up Charles
The voice was darker, deeper, a woman's voice.
"Who are you?" he asked, not remembering that voice.
I am the one you fear, the one you cannot see, but will soon discover
"What are you talking about?" he asked as he looked around the room. "I do not know of an enemy I cannot see."
That is because you have never noticed, but it has been right in front of you
"Who are you woman?"
Wake up and find out
Charles awoke from his bed and looked slowly up. He saw a darkened figure, he could tell the woman was wearing a cape, but could not see her features, only her white eyes.
"Mornin'." she said. He blinked a couple of times, and then, she was gone. He looked around the room to find Storm in the next bed.
He then realised who the dark voice was.
"Rogue." though he knew that the Southerner didn't have a voice like that. So what was it? Who was it? What could it do? What would it do?
