Jean Luc LeBeau always knew life would not be easy after taking Remy in as his son. He knew it would be hard when he had to banish his son on his own wedding day. He knew when his son became an X-Men that life would still not get any easier for them, but at least his boy had found a place in life where he fit, where he truly belonged. When he came home with a wife, and expecting their first child, he knew things would continue to be difficult, but he also knew that his son was happy, and he would support him in a way that he didn't when he was younger.

He was a proud man, Jean Luc, and everyone knew it. When his grandson was born, and they named him after him, he cried, just a little. He was so proud of how far his son had come in life. When the second child came, Desiree, he knew she was going to be the one to test them, from the moment she learned the word "No" and that her father would do anything for her.

So when his granddaughter ended up in the hospital at fourteen, he was not a bit surprised at the outrage his son had, or his daughter-in-law, even his grandsons, because while Remy had two children, Henri also had Sebastian, and that only added to the fuel. They had all grown up together, become close, but Desiree and Sebastian were the two that everyone looked out for. Luc had always kept more to himself, speaking up when absolutely necessary and not arguing very often. His sister, though, always asked why things had to be a certain way. Why was that person doing that? What was going on at the park that had everybody so loud? If she saw something she didn't like, everybody in her general vicinity knew about it.

That was why he wasn't surprised to see her on the television rescuing people after midnight. He had heard of what was happening in New York city, and then there were reports in California, but so far nothing else had been reported, so for just a moment, Jean Luc believed his family was safe. They were all there, in the living room, minus Desiree. Remy had his arm around Anna, his wife, and Luc sat on the floor in front of them. Henri was on the arm of the couch and Sebastian sat directly next to his grandfather. Their silence spoke volumes.

"We gotta get ya'll outa here." Lapin told all of them, bursting through the doors. "Dey have Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in custody. Dey ain't gonna wait to come after ya'll, its public knowledge dat us LeBeau's fought against dis law."

Sebastian stood up and glared at his older cousin, second cousin to be exact, and Luc wasn't far behind him. "I ain't gonna back down from a fight. Dey wanna take us dey gonna have a hell of a time doin' it."

"Meh sister is out dere fighting, we don't need t be hidin'" Luc said. "I know I ain't always out dere fightin' da good fight like ya'll, but it ain't lookin' good for nobody right now."

"When Desiree went out there with that team sugah, the one thing she asked was that we stay safe so that she could worry less about us. She's a big girl, and she's always been a fighter. She's got a good team with her too." Anna said, reassuring her son and nephew. She glanced over at her husband, who had been quiet. "Remy?"

"Why do ya think we should leave Lapin?" he questioned.

"Ya'll watchin' the world news, but y' ain' lookin' at da local news." He said turning the channel. All eyes moved to the television. "Dats happenin'. Ya'll need to grab a bag and go."

"Not without ya'll," Remy said, standing up. "Ain't having ya'll arrested for protecting us. We all go. Nobody is bein' left behind. "Luc' ya grab a backpack, Seb ya do da same, Papa, Henri, we should gather some necessities."

"Ah'll stay on lookout." Anna told them. "Ah can get to ya'll faster if they show up."

"Ah'll get da passage ready. We can get out of da city dat way," Lapin told them.

Everyone scattered to prepare for their departure. Jean Luc moved with his boys to get the necessities they needed for the trek through the tunnels that would lead them outside the city. As he held the bag, Henri and Remy filled it with flashlights and batteries, while they filled a second bag with medical supplies. "Ya boys get the family out.."

"Papa, I already told y', we ain't goin wit'out everyone." Remy told him.

"I agree wit' him Papa." Henri spoke up. "And y' know dat don't happen often. Y' stuck in da fight dis long. Y' ain't bein' left behind. We don' know what dey will do t' y'. Y' adopted a mutant, y' protectin' mutants. Dey know all of dis. Y' comin' wit' us."

"If it means gettin' ya'll out din ah will stay, but ah;ll go as long as ya'll can make it. Ya promise ya put my grandkids before me. I've lived meh life. Ya'll have more to do." Jean Luc said. Henri and Remy looked at eachother and let out a sigh. They knew where the two of them got their own stubbornness from, even if one of them wasn't blood related. The two nodded before going back to packing, the 3 working in silence until Sebastian and Luc came in.

"Mama said she's seen trucks headin' dis way." Luc informed them as they moved through the room. "We're headin' down now, lets go." He continued to the basement door pulling Sebastian along with him. Remy zipped up a back and threw it over his shoulder before giving the other two men a nod.

Anna rushed into the room. "Go now!" She called to them as she shut the doors and followed them all into the basement. "Dey ain't here to hold back Rem." She told her husband as they reached the hidden tunnel in the basement. "Ah need ya t' get everyone t safety. Ya look after our boy and ya find our girl."

"Anna…" Remy started before she kissed him and he felt himself being drained.

"Ah ain't gone Rogue in a long tahme, and as nahce as dat has been Remy...ah have to also protect meh family, ya'll are what ah live for." She smiled as she turned to her son. "Luc, y' take care of all them until ah get back." She put her hand on his cheek. "And ah will be back with ya'll...so go...Jean Luc, Henri, don't let meh boys do nothin' stupid."

"We won't Anna, ya do what y' need t and get outa here." Henri told her.

"Ah will." She shut the steel door and covered it back up before leaning against the wall and shutting her eyes. "Ah love ya'll more than ah ever thought ah would." She told herself before taking a deep breath and heading upstairs. As she moved into the living room, she heard movement around the back of the house, and saw lights shining in through the windows. She sat on the couch, waiting for them to barge in. As the soldiers filed in with their guns pointed at her. "Ain't it a lil' late for ya'll to stop by? Ah ain't got no refreshments for ya'll. " A flashlight shone in her face as she stood up.

"Anna Marie Darkholme, you are to be moved to a mutant encampment under the new law in place by President Trask."

"Ah understand ya have ya orders, but ah will not be complyin' wit' dim today sugah. See, dat law goes against meh raght as a human, and ah ain't goin' nowhere." In a swift movement, a book flew across the room toward the soldiers and exploded as she jumped over the back of the couch and knelt down. Anna had not been with the X-Men since her children were young, she had not used her abilities for some time now. But she looked down at her hand, that was glowing, and knew that she had a piece of her husband with her as she fought. As she moved from her hiding spot, gunshots all around her, she used a man as a shield and as he fell grabbed his gun.

Then came into place her son's abilities. He was able to accurately hit his target with objects, and it included firing a gun. Knives had always been his specialty, but she knew that would not be an immediate option. As the guns stopped, she looked at the men and women on the ground around her and dropped the gun in her hand. She knew they would not be the last ones. Then she heard the answering machine click on.

Hey Mama, Papa, Its Des! Ah hope ya'll are okay, ah know it's late but ah just...ah wanted t' hear ya'lls voices. Ah'm okay. We made it home safe and our friends are wit' us. Ah love ya'll.

Anna wiped away her tears as she heard her daughter's voice. When it ended, she moved the soldiers out of the house and placed her hands on the brick, slowly making a glow take over. As she moved away and moved toward the woods, the house exploded, leaving everything behind, and a determination in her to find her family again. Before she could make it, she felt something hit her in the neck and pulled it out before turning around. Her vision blurred and the last thing she felt was a collar going around her neck. "We got one," a voice said just as she lost consciousness.

Dakota moved away from her computer with her hands covering her mouth. "Oh, no." she said in shock. Kielar turned to her. "The LeBeau's estate is gone." she told him. Kielar's eyes widened as he turned back around and started typing furiously for any other report. "I'm looking for anything to show they got out."

"You need to figure out as much information as possible before Rebel gets here. We need to give her as much as we can." Bucky said from the doorway. "I just got a call from Daken. They are making the stop to remove the collars and will be here in two hours or less."

"Nobody leaves before their cameras go out." Dakota said, "Wait, that...that's Rogue, isn't it?"

"It is, she's using Gambits abilities." Bucky informed her. "That means she is the reason the estate exploded. We have the soldiers going in, being dragged out by Rogue, and then the cameras going out, but nobody else?"

"There has to be something. People can't just disappear like that." Kielar said. "I mean, I guess they really could but, I don't think any of the LeBeau's could pull that trick off."

"Rebel might know." Bucky told them, looking over Dakota's shoulder. "There is a shadow right over there as Rogue moves away." he pointed out.

"Who is Rebel exactly?" Kielar questioned the older man.

"Desiree Lebeau. Remember that case years ago with a kid being nearly beaten to death for being a mutant? That's her. If they did something to her family, they'll get the war that they want." Bucky sighed and stepped away. "I have to make a phone call," he told them, pulling out a flip phone and walking out of the room.

"Any luck on Tommy?" Dakota asked quietly, her mind going a mile a minute from the previous news still.

"Oh, yeah...I found him, and I'm going to kick his scrawny ass because he did not go to Germany."

"Where is he?"

"L.A. Pretty sure he went to find his brother."

"How did you find him?"

"YouTube. He got onto fucking YouTube."

"I am going to.." Dakota began, furiously slamming her fist down on the table.

"Get in line, get in line," Kielar said, shaking his head.
