Remy ran down the hall and threw open the door to the infirmary, he ran in and saw X-23 sitting outside a door leading to the over night beds. Remy stalked up to her and grabbed her by her collar. She grabbed onto his wrists to stop from falling and held on tight.
"Where is she?" He said his tongue as sharp as a knife.
X-23 knew she could take him but she also knew that the girl in there was his little sister. X-23 let go of one wrist and pointed to the door. Remy released her and she fell back into her chair. Remy nearly broke the door off its hinges as he entered and laid eyes upon what had become of his sister. She lay asleep unconscious in the bed wearing her pajamas, which he knew she'd changed out of before he left.
"Ah, Mr. LeBeau," Hank said as he entered the room from his connected office.
Hank looked up from the charts he held in his hands to see that there was no one there. X-23 walked in from her seat just outside, staring out the door into the hallway as the end of a trench coat turned the corner out of sight.
Rogue sat her second period math class with Kitty. There was a sub today, so it was a free period. The desks were out of their rows, for friends had moved them so they could talk. Kitty had her desk pulled up next to Rogue's and was trying to get the details on the "The Cajun vs. Cajun Explosion" as it had officially been named.
"It was nothing, really. Just a small argument between a brothah and sistah," Rogue insisted.
"That's not like what I heard," Kitty said.
"What did ya hear?" Rogue sighed, knowing that she probably wasn't going to hear one bit of truth in this story.
"That Lilly came in and nearly blew Remy up. And then Remy chased her like all around the mansion and the grounds," Kitty said.
"Ya know Remy and Lilly bettah then that. Give them some credit will ya," Rogue said.
Girls screamed and guys jumped as a loud crashing sound came from the hallway. The sub ran to the door and looked out the small window.
"Everyone into your seats," he ordered.
No one objected; each student sat down in his or her seat and moved the desks back into rows. The door flew open and in stepped a very angered and upset Remy.
"Chère," Remy said in a desperate pleading voice.
Rogue stood up and walked over to Remy. Kitty followed and looked nervously at Remy. Now up close, Rogue could see tear stains on his cheeks and the devastating sadness on his features. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and let her support his weight. Rogue grabbed onto Remy and then turned to Kitty.
"Get mah my bag, then go find Kurt," Rogue said.
Kitty nodded, quickly went back to their seats, retrieved Rogue's bag, and then ran out the door. Rogue took a step forward towards the door and caught a glimpse of her classmates. They all wore the same mixture of confusion, fear, and shock on their faces. Rogue and Remy made it out into the hall just as three security guards were getting up after being thrown into and making dents in the lockers. They saw Remy and stepped towards him.
"It's alright, we're friends." Rogue said holding up her hand to them.
They slowly backed off and Rogue walked herself and Remy towards the front doors of the school. When they reached the front entrance, Rogue was getting tired, so she sat them down on the steps.
"Remy, what's going on?" Rogue asked, looking to Remy.
"It's Lilly. She's hurt an' she's not wake'n up," Remy said as tears began to return to his eyes.
"What?" Rogue asked.
"Look," Remy said, pulling out his cell phone.
Rogue took the cell phone and opened it up to a text message. It read "Lilly's hurt; get back now."
"An da last ting she taught bout me was dat I wanted ta get rid o' her. Rogue if she don live-" Remy said, leaning on Rogue's shoulder and holding tightly onto her arm.
"Don't say that. She's a strong kid she'll be fahne," Rogue answered, pulling Remy close to her and rocked him back and forth.
"Come on I've found them!" Kitty exclaimed, running down the stairs with Kurt right behind her.
"Vhat's going on?" Kurt asked, obviously very confused.
"Ya two go a head and tell the professah we're coming. We'll be there in a sec," Rogue said, standing and pulling Remy with her.
Kurt took Kitty's arm and then disappeared with a flash and puff of smoke. Rogue walked with Remy down to where he parked his bike and pulled her helmet out of her bag. Remy put on his helmet and put his hand on one of the handles when Rogue placed her hand over his.
"Maybe Ah should drive," she suggested softly.
The next thing Remy knew, Rogue was sitting on his bike and revving the engine. Remy climbed on and placed his string hands on Rogue's waist.
Rogue walked hand and hand with Remy down the hall to the infirmary. She pushed open the door and they walked in to see the professor, Kitty, Kurt, X-23, and Logan waiting for them. Together, they walked past them and as Rogue reached out to push open the next door, she could feel Remy squeezing her hand tighter, and she squeezed back. Rogue opened the door and stepped in with Remy right behind her. Past Dr. McCoy, Lilly could be seen lying on the bed as if she were asleep. All the anger that Rogue had seen earlier was gone, and was now replaced with peace and tranquility. Beast stepped aside so he was no longer obstructing their few and Remy stepped forward. He
dropped down to his knees and took Lilly's hand.
"I'm sorry. I should 'ave asked if you wanted ta go back. It wasn' my choice ta make. Please forgive me, please don leave," Remy pleaded, brushing a piece of hair away from Lilly's face and then bringing her hand to his forehead.
Rogue looked away from Remy and turn to Hank with concern-filled eyes. Dr. McCoy nodded and Rogue took a deep, relaxing breath. She got down to Remy's level and put an arm around his shoulders. Remy took his eyes off Lilly and faced Rogue.
"She's gonna be ok," Rogue said with a rare smile gracing her lips.
Remy glanced at Beast who wore a small smile on his face as he left the room. Remy sighed as his worries but not his conscience were put to rest. Remy turned back to Rogue and before Rogue had a chance to react, Remy's arms were around her and his head right next to hers.
"She's gonna be ok," Remy repeated as it registered in his head.
Someone cleared their throat and Remy and Rogue separated to see that the crowd from outside the door had decided to enter. Rogue stood and pulled Remy up with her. Under the make up Remy could see a red tint forming on Rogue's cheeks.
"I believe that the three of you have to get back to class," Xavier said looking to Rogue, Kitty, and Kurt.
"Ah'll be back to check on ya two later," Rogue said, facing Remy with a hand on his shoulder.
Remy nodded and Rogue left with Kurt and Kitty. Remy grabbed a chair and sat down at his sister's side. Wolverine turned and left with X-23, which left Beast and the professor to talk with Remy.
Kurt BAMFed down into the infirmary and knocked on the door before poking his head in. Remy looked up from his seat by Lilly's side and saw "Blue" standing half in the room.
"Class out 'ready?" asked Remy.
"Ja, I take de zhort cut back if you know vhat I mean," Kurt said glancing quickly at Lilly and then back down to the ground.
"Pull up a chair, Remy been 'lone all day. Could use some company." Remy said pulling a chair away from the wall so it was right next to him.
"Danke." Kurt nodded then BAMFed into the chair.
After the smoke cleared and Kurt had gotten comfortable in the chair, the room was over taken with silence, with the small exception of Kurt's tail tapping the floor as it moved from side to side that is. Remy continued flipping the queen of diamonds through his fingers as Kurt twiddled his thumbs. Kurt looked up from his three fingered hands and tried to meet Remy's red on black eyes.
"I zink zhat I misjudged you," Kurt said breaking the silence.
Remy stopped flipping the card in his fingers and made eye contact with the little blue elf.
"If zomezhing happened zu Rogue I vouldn't know vhat zu do, I'd be lost. After zeeing vhat happened zuday you've proved zu me zhat you veally do care about ozer people, und noot just yourself. I'm zorry if I vas ever unkind zu you," Kurt said, looking at the ground as if ashamed of himself for doing to Remy what many others had done to him.
"Tanks, dat means 'lot ta Remy comin' from you. An your 'pology's excepted." Remy replied, holding out his hand to Kurt.
Kurt smiled and shook Remy's hand. The door opened and Rogue stepped in,confusion suddenly taking over her features.
"Did Ah miss somethin'?" Rogue asked, dropping her book bag at her feet and walking over to the boys.
"Nein." Kurt said letting go of Remy's hand and standing up.
"Jus ta brothers talkin' 'bout der beau sisters," Remy said, looking up at Rogue.
Kurt looked to Rogue and then back down at Remy.
"Vell, I've got zome homevork zu do," Kurt said then BAMFed out of the room.
Rogue sat down in Kurt's seat and placed her gloved hand over Remy's bare one.
"She's gonna wake up. Ah've been in her place before and Ah know that she can come out of this.".
"Remy know, but Remy can't help but worry 'bout 'er. It's a brother ting." Remy said turning to Rogue.
"And making sure that ya don't dahe of starvation down here is a girlfriend thing. Ya want something to eat?" Rogue asked standing from her seat.
"Remy non hungry," Remy said, leaning back in his seat.
"Liah," Rogue said now standing by the door.
"Well maybe a small piece o' Ororo's chocolate cake would be nice," Remy said his stomach growling just thinking about it.
Rogue smiled having heard his stomach from where she stood. Then the sound of someone moaning drew Rogue and Remy's attention to Lilly. Her fingers twitched as her eyes opened slowly adjusting to the light. Remy jumped from his seat and took Lilly's hand in his.
"Lilly, Lilly. Can you hear me, how do you feel?" Remy asked.
"Like I got plowed down by da X-jet, wha happened?" Lilly asked opening her eyes completely.
Remy leapt on Lilly and pulled her into a big bear hug. He started speaking rapidly in French and wouldn't let Lilly go.
"What's he sayin'?" Lilly asked looking to Rogue.
"A bunch of things that ya too young to hear, and that he's glad ya awake," Rogue answered, leaving out most of what Remy said.
"Oh. Well I'm glad ta be awake ta. But what da hell happened ta me?" Lilly asked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a sec," Lilly said, a bit confused.
She, Remy, and the adults were gathered in the professor's office while Beast tried to explain what had happened to her.
"Are you sayin' dat I lost control an charged my clothes up so much dat I had no energy left in me?" Lilly asked incredulously.
"Basically that's what happened. You see there are two basic types of mutants. Mutants whose powers are emotion driven, and can be turned on and off, and those that don't depend on the mutant and are always on. Both of you have emotion driven powers," Beast said.
"Well duh. Dat's why me an X make such a great team," Lilly said.
Everyone turned to Lilly asking for an explanation.
"It takes a lot foh X ta show emotion. It's easier foh me ta control how much I charge up tings when it's just me an her," Lilly saidapologetically for her rudeness in her last statement.
"But den why did ya lose control?" Remy asked.
"It is because you haven't yet mastered your powers, have you?" Xavier asked.
"You're right. I jus recently learned how ta choose when I want ta charge tings. I taught dat…dat would be enough. Guess I was wrong," Lilly admitted.
"Don' feel bad, took Remy till he was 19 ta master it. You're jus 16, it's gonna take time," Remy said.
"Not only that, but your powers are different," added Beast.
Lilly and Remy looked up to Beast with confusion written all over their faces.
"You both have your charging ability and empathy, but you have different amounts of it. Gambit, roughly your powers are only 20 empathic; you can pick up on other emotions and how powerful they are but, Gimmick here is 40 empathic. She not only can feel others emotions but is prone to feel as they feel and in time, I believe that she will be able pick whom she feels, and expand her range from just whom she see to whoever's in a few mile radius," Beast said.
Lilly stared unbelievingly at Beast.
"You really tink I can do dat?" Lilly asked.
"It'll take time, but eventually yes." Beast answered.
Aprilangel413: So yeah ok Lilly's ok and stuff so review please.
