Chapter 3: Gambit's Rebirth

The tall lengthy man strode to a rather large switch. He used all of his strength to push up on the switch. He locked it in the on position to see how long I could last, if at all. Tubes that led into the coffin like box, leaked in fluids of red, blue, and yellow. I choked on the very stench of these chemical's. Then a metal rod connecting to the outside was struck by and electrical current, generating from a powerful electro-magnetic source. I was electrocuted in the chemical's. My body twisting and taking a more muscular form. I twitched as if I were having a seizure. I should have died in this chamber. I should have burnt to a crisp, but I didn't.

Before long, the machine I was in exploded sending the doctor back into a wall. And out of the smoke and flame I walked. I walked strait towards him. My atomic like structure taking a human tone to it once again. I looked at him with pure, red eyes. I said "If you live to make it out of here. Make sure that Mr. Sinister knows, I am coming for him. And when I find him, I will kill him with my bare hands!". I took one good look around me and noticed a jacket. I walked over to it and put it on my under-dressed appearance. I couldn't help looking like that. After all I had just been put through a molecular chamber of hell. I walked out of the room and ran down the wide, and dimly lit hall. I found the exit and it was locked. I banged my fist on it until I was full of rage. I paced in the dark hallway and in a last fit of anger I hit the door with my fist, and it was glowing. As soon as I touched the door it exploded into a million little pieces. I ran out of the building as quickly as I could. I was afraid to touch the ground with my feet, in the event I might explode the earth.

I make it to the edge of the seemingly isolated estate. I see a large fence of metal and barbed wire. I ball up my hands again and punch the fence. Unfortunately, it didn't explode. All it did was put my hand in excruciating pain. I walked a few feet back and ran at it as if I could actually jump the fence. I jumped, and to my surprise I cleared the easily ten-foot barrier. I balance myself on the other side of it with my hand. I then begin to run deep into the surrounding wild life. It looked like a very dead jungle more than the woods that bit at the back of society.

I ran for what must have been twenty-four miles. I found myself in a small little town. It was a very rural looking area for France. I walked around the small back alley ways and snuck into a clothing shop. It was small and reeked of perfume and old men. I walked around the racks looking for something to wear. I found a pair of blue jeans and what must have been the only tee shirt in the whole store. I put them on quickly, of course not noticing the whole camera set up. Those are things you wouldn't expect in a small town like this. The only really bad part about this situation in the store is that the tee shirt is pink. I had more pressing matters on my mind. Like if he was bluffing about the whole Alvira killing Maria thing. If there is one thing I have learned is that you never, ever treat a bluff like a bluff. You treat it as if it is the real deal. Which in this case I hope, for her sake, that it isn't.

The store clerk walks in as I slipped out. The brown leather coat really helped the look, sort of. I ran down the alley ways only to be greeted by another obstacle, A robber.

"Give me your money, pal"

"I don't have time for you, you little prick. I have somewhere to be."

"Your wallet has somewhere to be too, in my hand."
"Get out of my way or ill move you."

"Oh yeah, try it pretty boy."

He came at me with a knife like he was a soldier in combat. I dove out of way and grabbed the nearest thing I could. Which just happened to be, a long piece of rusty, lead pipe. He swung at me again and I dodged. I rolled up behind him and sprung up, putting the bar around his neck and pulling back. He fell, in no time, to his knees. I took the bandanna that he had around his mouth and tied it around my head like a headband. It was to keep the hair out of my eyes when I was running/fighting for my life. He tried one more time to come at me. This time I grabbed his hands swung him through the air and into a wall. His boots came clean off. I put them on to make the journey a bit more comfortable.

I kept running, hitting the roof tops if necessary. I had the bar with me for protection. In case anybody else I haven't fought wanted to play knives and guns with me. I reached a local hospital. It was small and I didn't catch the name of it outside the place. I walked in breathing like I had been shot. Which most likely I would be if I didn't get somewhere safe. While I was inside a man on a gurney was being wheeled in. I asked the ambulance man where I was, but I got no response. I walked up to the main desk and asked for some assistance. The woman sitting at the desk told me that I was in the outskirts of New Orleans. She then asked me if I was a tourist, but while being hit with that kind of information I couldn't answer. Could it be true, could I be in the United States. And if I am then that meant I was too late. Maria was already long gone before he had ever told me the information. Now I would not only have to get revenge. I would have to live with the realization that I am the reason that she is gone. She always said 'Remy, you'll be the death of me'. Now I knew she was right.
