Chapter 5
Everyone assembled in Scott's office in the library. Scott went to his seat behind the desk, the same desk that had been the Professor's for so many years. It was times like these when he wished that the Professor were still in charge. Scott viewed the X-Men before him. Ororo looked serene and pleased now that Logan was back home. Logan gave the appearance of a man about to go berserk at any moment. Jean was trying to remain calm to help him. And Hank's open expression of pain said 'please may I have a hair cut with the lawn mower now instead of being here in this meeting'. But Gambit, he was feigning his usual detachment except for his right hand. He was flipping a coin between his fingers so fast that it was almost a blur.
"Shall we get started?" Scott asked. "Hank tell us when you will have the DNA tests on Gambit done?"
"They will be completed in a couple of hours." "I suggest that we wait until tomorrow morning to really have this conversation." "It is also in my humble opinion that Rowan should be at that meeting." "She will need to answer questions that we all have concerning her and Megan's beginnings." Beast finished.
"I will take it into consideration," said Scott.
"What has Gumbo got to do with any of this?" Logan growled.
"Rowan told Gambit that he is her brother." Holding up his hand for Logan to be quite, "Gambit even went so far as not only believing what she said but also acted out on this information." "He adopted her claiming that he really is her brother and only relative." Scott replied with annoyance.
The severe look that Logan was giving Gambit would have reduced most Hero's to jelly. But not Gambit, he calmly returned the glare with disdain. Gathering up his arrogance like a shield, Gambit said, "You got a problem with Gambit taking care of his family's business?" "Gambit will let you see your daughter but de Petite stays with Rowan!" "I will not let you or anyone else take her from Rowan," his voice ended with an angry, dangerous edge.
"When in hell did Rowan tell you anything?" "She was out of it when I left." Logan demanded.
"De Chere told me on de way to de Blackbird while you were carrying her, mon ami." "She a 'path like Jean." Gambit answered.
"Why did you not tell us at the time Remy." Storm asked as she put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "It would have been very important information in our attempt to help her."
"She don't trust any of you." "She only trusted Gambit." "She said dat Logan would run and when he came back dat he would try and take de Petite from her." "She can't be separated from her!" "She is bonded to de baby." The look on Gambit's face told Storm that he really was pleading with her to believe him.
"Gambit, knowing of your previous relationship with Sinister," Scott said, "Why would you believe anything said to you by someone made by Sinister and second- how could her telepathy work on you against your shields when no one else's can?" Scott snapped as he allowed his irritation to get the better of him.
"De Chere she figured dat one out." He smiled. "She said dat it because Gambit and her have de same empathy." "De Chere de only one Gambit talks to with telepathy dat it didn't hurt." "Didn't you teach us, mon ami," he said with a sadistic edge to his voice, "dat siblings can't use dere powers to full affect on each other." "Dat you immune to Alex's power and vise versa." Gambit asked looking pleased with himself that the others thought that he really did not pay any attention during training sessions. 'Good,' he thought. 'Remy need to keep them off balance.' 'They are getting to close to figuring things out that aint to healthy for them to know.'
Logan had heard enough. He slammed his fist down on the already battered couch and he stalked over to Gambit. And in a very low and dangerous voice he said, "She is a child." "I don't expect her to take care of a new born just because she is the biological mother." "She is too sick and injured now to even take care of herself."
Gambit glared at Logan and said, "Why should you care about dese kids Logan?" "You are just as much de petite's father as Rowan is her mother." "Neither Chile was planned by you or her." "I understand what she been through." "She asked me to take care of her and de Petite." "She knows you too well Logan." "She knows when you get bored or sick of dem dat you will just walk out."
Logan punched Remy. Remy did not even see it coming. One minute he was talking to Logan and the next he was hitting the Library wall and sliding down it. Getting back on his feet, Gambit looks over where Jean and Hank are controlling a growling and furious Logan.
"What you people are doing is wrong." "You are trying to plan things for Rowan without talking to her." "Beast is right." "She needs to be here to tell you what she wants."
"They are children Remy and we will take care of them." Storm said trying to calm Gambit down. "And I expect you to help us do that." "Some of the decisions that have to be made for the children will sometimes appear hard, but they really are in the best interest of the children."
"She is not a child!" Yelled Remy. "She was never a child." "She was grown in a tank and given all of her 40 year old mother's memories." "She was battle trained and raped by Creed and experimented on by Sinister!" "But even through all dat she made it through because of her mother and her mother's memories." "Sinister could not break either of dem!" "Her mother had a good life with two kids and a husband until Sinister took it all away." Remy was practically in tears. "You people don't know anything about us!" Remy turned and ran out of the Library.
Everyone in the room was numb with shock. "I think we finish this meeting tomorrow morning at 11 am." "Will that give you enough time to finish everything that needs to be done or checked Hank?" Scott asked.
Hank nodded his head in the affirmative.
