Hey ya'll! First I want to apologize (coughegolust92cough) about the last cliffy with the letter. But I couldn't help myself! It's my way of being evil. MWWHAHAHA! It's going to follow the comic book plot a little. I'm going to change it a bit to fit the story though. Anyway…this'll pick up where the last one left off. Mostly Rogue but next chapter or chapter after will have a lot of Remy. Scout's honor…even though I'm not a scout…Contemplate later! I own nada!

Return to Sender?
Remy walked away from the mailbox with a grin on his face. No doubt Rogue would be wondering what that letter was all about. And no doubt she'd wonder about the letter coming her way. Remy had taken it upon himself to get her in the know. It might not be enough to get her to come around, in fact it might destroy them forever, but he had to give her the chance to know about his past.
He laughed to himself causing several odd stares from the people around him. His past was always coming back to haunt him. Whether it be the guild, Belladonna, or even New Orleans itself, he could never just get away.
He made his way down familiar streets and made all the familiar turns. Then after about an hour on foot he made it to the bayou and the mansion that he had called home. The Thieves Guild's headquarters hadn't changed much in the year or so he had been gone.
He sighed. He knew he couldn't stay here long without attracting attention from the Assassins. He only came here to say hello to his family and then get on with it. He had business to take care of.

Rogue stared down at the letter in her ungloved hand. It was an old envelope with a thirty sent stamp on upper right hand corner. But that was the only thing that made sense to Rogue.
The address was one from New Orleans that she didn't recognize. It had been written over. "Return to sender." On the upper left hand address was Rogue's name and the institute's address. She had never written to anyone in Louisiana before, let alone New Orleans.
She must have been staring at it for a while because it startled her to heard Piotr's voice,
"Are you going to open ze letter comrade?"
"Yeah," Kitty piped in from Piotr's side, "open it already."
"Ah…don't know. This is weird."
With a trembling hand, she opened up the letter. The unfamiliar writing sent a chill down her spine. She had hoped that the letter was from Remy, but this writing looked to be a girl's, not only that, but the letter started off "Dearest Remy LaBeau." Rogue noted that whoever wrote out this letter didn't bother to dot her i's.
"Like what does it say, Rouge?"
Rogue laid the letter on the table so the four of them could read it together.
Dearest Remy Labeau,
Have you missed me? It's been a good year and half since I last lay my eyes on you. I've been here in New Orleans waiting for you to get your sorry ass back in gear and come home to me. Unfortunately, I hear you have yourself a little river rat that won't go away. Well, Remy dear, I have a solution to that. That is, I have two solutions. Now, I want you to hear me out, Remy. I'm not a bad person, really. I mean all I ever did I did for you. But enough with the formalities. Me and you, we've know each other too long for formalities anyway. What I'm trying to say, Remy is that I want to pick up where we left off…at the alter. No I'm not asking you to marry me. I am telling you to get your sorry Cajun ass down here. Now you might be wondering what in the world would possess you to do that. Well let me make it perfectly clear for you, Remy. I know what happened when you couldn't control your powers, and I know about the Marauders, and I know about the Morlock tunnels. Don't ask me why or how, just know that I know, and I'm not above blackmail Remy. Just know that this is your choice, but either way, you lose and I win. But keep in mind, that if you come willingly, you pretty little femme won't get hurt.
Love always,
Belladonna
"Like what does all of that mean?"
"Ah'm not sure."
Rogue turned the letter over and surprisingly she saw an explanation for the letter. It was in Remy's handwriting, and that alone was enough to make her read further.
Cherie,
I know what you're thinking. Just cuz I send you a letter…the same letter that Belladonna sent me no less…doesn't make what I did ok. Cherie, what you have to understand is that I did some stupid shit in my day, and I don't want you to have to come to terms with my mistakes. Don't worry your pretty little head though, cherie, I don't plan on marrying Belladonna, frankly I'd rather die. But if I hadn't come you would've been hurt, and that's just something I can't bear. I'll be home soon, cherie, but if I don't make it, rest assured that it's not because I got married. I hope you'll still have me when I get back.
With love,
Remy
P.S. Tell Kitty and Piotr, who are no doubt reading this, to stay out of our personal business.
"Like he really thinks I'm like gonna stay out of your business."
Rogue laughed a little at Kitty. But what did any of this really mean? Tunnels? Loss of control? Marauders? None of it made any sense.
"What do ya'll think?"
Kitty glanced over at Piotr who simply nodded his head at his girlfriend.
"Well, Rogue, I think it's like about time we all like took a road trip!"

Rogue looked up from the bag she had been packing. It really shocked her when she agreed to Kitty's suggestion that she, Rogue, and Piotr should "like totally go to New Orleans and like help Remy stop this crazy bitch!" but while she had been packing, Kitty had been explaining.
"Like the day Remy left, me and Piotr like started having this idea. I mean like we knew one way or another you'd like have to like go to Louisiana. So we like made all the preparations. Don't like worry about Logan or anything. Every precaution has been taken to ensure we go about his with no interruptions or getting caught!"
Rogue was less convinced.
"Kit, what's ta stop Logan from sniffing us out and skinnin' us all alive?"
"Well first of all Rogue, like Logan would never hurt us. And second of all, I like told you we got it covered."
She then pulled out several very expensive perfumes from her bag.
"Ya think perfume is gonna get Logan off our trail?!"
"Like no of course not! But like, it might slow him down…"
"Slow him down?! Kitty, Ah wanna help Remy, Ah really do. But if perfume is your way of gettin' Logan off our backs, then Ah don't think it'll be worth it. After we help Remy, we'll all be dead!"
Kitty shook her head as she said,
"Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, Rogue. Like I told you Piotr's got it covered. And besides, like when I said 'road trip' I meant…like sky trip."
"What?"
"Well, me and Piotr were thinking it'd be better to take like one of the mini-jets."
"Kit, ya just love getting; yourself inta trouble don't cha?"
"Like can't help it Rogue!"
The two continued to pack in silence. They weren't planning on taking off until next week. But the sooner they were ready, the sooner next week would come. At least that's how Rogue saw it.
