Spirit Lost

Author's Note

I'm sorry I haven't been updating more slowly but I'm just trying to get everything written out and into a format I like, while juggling other things on the side. I will be going out of town for a while and for lack of a lab top I haven't really gotten a whole lot of typing done. I promise an update as soon as I return and then I hope to fall into a weekly updating schedule. Thanks to all you guys who actually care enough to review. Here's a tidbit to snack upon.

'Rogue let out a large yawn. Why on earth were they doing this, this early in the morning.Half normal people wouldn't be able to make breakfast let alone take a physical test at their best. Some one had to tell Wolvie they didn't have a healing factor not that she was volunteering, he wasn't exactly a morning person. Hell, he was plain sadistic in the mornings.

The ones taking the test along with her were Pietro, who was very annoyingly peppy in the mornings, Remy and Betsy. Storm had taken Betsy to conduct a different test because she was younger.

Lucky her, Rogue thought bitterly.

"Okay first we're going to test you're mutant abilities. Rogue you just need to write a full evalution of yours. Make sure to leave nothing out."

She glared at him. Are you sure you don't need an example I'll gladly test it out on you. Yep, she was defiantly cranky this morning.

"Speed boy you go first."

As Pietro went down the elevator and into the danger room Rogue took a seat near one of the controls to fill out her paper which she did true to her word.

Once Wolverine was done testing Pietro's speed (well technically it was more like Pietro broke the treadmill especially designed to test him) it was Remy's turn.

"Shades off Cajun." Wolverine growled.

"Remy don take dem off, homme." He said coldly giving him a sour smile.

"I've seen blue skin, yellow eyes, claws, half ape, white eyes, white hair, dog girl. Nothin' you got is gonna surprise me."

"It's a trust-."

"You live in a house full of mutants, boy, you're gonna have to get used to your mutation some time. They ain't gonna shock anyone."

Remy's whole body tensed up as he lifted the sunglasses off his face. His eyes glared at them all.

Truthfully, they awe-inducing, scarlet inflamed his irises against a black backround giving off the affect that they glowed.

"Happy?" He asked Wolverine through gritted teeth.

The older man grinned. "Quite. Now get down there and let's see how your powers play."

Remy growled and stormed to the elevator.

Rogue set her pencil down to watch. This might be interesting. Marie agreed silently as she to, watched out of Rogue's eyes.

"Ready Cajun?" Wolverine asked mocking over the intercom.

Remy responded with something that sounded rather insulting in French.

"I'll take that as a yes." Wolverine laughed and turned the testing level up two notches.

Yeah, Wolverine defiantly had morning issues.

The boy pulled out a deck of cards as the system light turned green and robots started to appear.

What was he going to do paper cut them to death?

It all happened so fast Rogue barely kept up with it. The card seemed to sparkle with a red aura and then it shot from his hand like one of Cyclops's beams. It hit one of the robots head on and exploded on contact.

Remy then preceded to fire his cards with precise aim everytime he sent a robot flying. No robot got with in a couple feet of him before it was blown away.

After thirty six robots where destroyed Wolverine turned the simulation off and Remy returned to the control room.

" Nice little trick yeh got there Gumbo any other powers?"

Raising an eyebrow at the Gumbo he responded with a shake of his head.

Wolverine turned to Rogue. "You're first in the physical testing since you know how it's done. Let's see what you really got, Rogue." He challenged with a glint in his eye.'

Hope that'll hold you for a while. I'll update fully when I get back thank y'all again.
