They got to the freight yard and Remy knew a little of what to expect. There was a couple big boys reported to be stealing goods off of the resting trains for the black market. No one knew what their powers were, so they had to be prepared for anything. Remy had to admit, the freight yard brought back memories of kidnapping Rogue.

The kids teamed up in pairs. Remy was with Piotr, surprisingly.

They scoured between the trains, having each others back. Even if Remy wasn't a shrimp and could take care of himself, he had to admit, he always felt that much safer with the big guy around. (And, admittedly, more when he was armored up like that. Even if it was...disconcerting...having to look up at him six inches more. Remy just wasn't used to feeling small.)

"So, not a great time for it," Gambit whispered, "But there's been something I've been wanting to ask you."

"Yes?" Colossus replied, matching his low tone.

"I was wondering if-" Remy was suddenly shot in the back of the head with some kind of hyper force beam. He collided into one of the trains, hard.

"Gambit!" Colossus cried out.

"I'm fine," Gambit edged himself up, rubbing his head, getting up slowly. The world was spinning, but he'd recover.

Gambit saw the other man running towards him, a hulking 6'5 brunette with a scar across his face dressed in brown and silver duds, so he haphazardly threw some cards, hoping they would hit in the right spot. The cards hit the ground, but it was too far from the guy, so he just kept coming. Remy tried to roll, fast on his feet, but he'd taken a wallop. He grabbed at his head. 'Come on, settle!' He thought desperately. He'd taken more hits in New Orleans after thugs found him sucking face with the only daughters of mob bosses and not felt this bad. He tapped his comms. "This is Gambit, we found the mutants, but we need back up. I'm not doing so good."

"On our way," Nightcrawler said over the channel. Within seconds, Nightcrawler and Cyke had teleported themselves into the middle of things. Kurt had the giant on the ropes, becoming an unreachable target. With that distraction, Cyclops knocked him down with a quick shot. Meanwhile, Colossus had restrained the other man, putting him in power inhibitor handcuffs. The day was won, but Remy wasn't feeling so great as he collapsed to the ground.
