For some reason, I haven't been able to put in page breaks or italicize anything; I'll try and fix it so bear with me til then. Also the accents are way hard so sorry beforehand if they aren't perfect or even close to right…
Disclaimer: * sniff * I still don't own Remy, (which may be a good thing, cause if I did I might just be tempted to forsake my wedding vows ;) except that everyone (including my husband, whom I love dearly) and all you would kill me and him for messing with Rogue and then she would kill me…sigh…but it might be worth it, a girl can dream…stares off dreamily til her muse whacks her) oh yeah…a disclaimer so I don't own anyone in this story…no money is being made, so don't try and take what little dreams I have.

Excellent, her blood shows she is almost ready, another day to make preparations, not that I mind studying my guests, but I know my son will so try to make his escape the less time he knows who he really is the better. A grin lights Nathaniel Essex's face, a look that is by any definition unholy and just plain manically insane. Too bad you cannot embrace your future with the knowledge you have learned in life so far Remy "LeBeau" it is almost unscientific to create another mindless child for myself, yet it is the only way to ensure my offspring shall inherit all they are genetically meant to. With the proper genetic mixing your mother's worthless blood shall be purged and my grandchildren shall evolve into what they are destined to be, the most powerful beings in all of creation. I should go thank the donor who will be supplying the right DNA. Leaving the lab, Sinister makes his way to a room where a X-Women impatiently waits for the next visitor to her cell.
….
"Why ya here Sinister?" Rogue snarls at him.
"My dear, I just came in to thank you once again for your assistance to my family. Your blood tests show you are ready for the final experiment tomorrow, I wish you could understand in your feeble mind this great honor."
"Mah feeble mind understands one thing, ya'll hurt Remy, ya' hurt me, Ah'm gonna end ya'" Damn Sinister always talking bullshit about experiments, nevah amounts to any real research just cruel Nazi like experiments, when Ah git outta these bonds Ah'm gonna rip him apart.
At her words Sinister actually laughs. It amuses him to see her struggle so futility. "Ah, yes your precious Remy, strapped down just like you unable to do a thing without my permission, yet there is always hope, that you may see him, and yes even relish his touch before you have served your purpose." As he speaks the word touch he runs his fingers across her exposed arm. She flinches away, willing her powers, which have always been the bane of her existence to somehow return and kill the creature before her, but just as she has always willed them away to no result, no such miracle brings them back now. Yet even as Sinister starts to run various tests to check the rest of her body for ability to conduct his experiment. A miracle of sorts is beginning to take shape a few rooms down the hall.

BLINK
Clarice Ferguson blinks into Remy LeBeau's cell and collapses on the floor in tears.
"Pe'tit' Shh, don' cry it be ok, tell ol' Remy all 'bout it." The words come out of habit not really conscious thought. Mon Dieu she looks a wreck, mebbe 'dat a good 'ting. Pah, she too innocent ta be crying and it be ok. Turning his thoughts back to the girl lying on the floor with her head cradled in her arms. 'Com' on petit' it ok…shh." As he continues to murmur comforting things to her she begins to quiet down her sobs. Slowly she rises to her feet a look of determination on her face. In her one hand a knife-like projection glows as she raises it above Remy. He closes his eyes, unable to stop her unable to speak at the face of death. And then he feels it, the knife slashing through his…bonds. Sitting up quickly, he stares at her in wonder.
"Not 'dat Remy min' but what 'de 'ell?"
"My father, our father is insane. I broke into the computer I read the real files, mother didn't die in a car accident, Xavier didn't kidnap you…and I…I – don't exist." With this she starts to tear up again.
Our father? De' petit' is cracked.
"Shh, petit' ya' exist, ya standin' right her'." He places an comforting arm around her shoulders. "See Remy can touch ya'"
"No Remy, you don't understand, I don't exist in this time at least I'm not supposed to, I remember another time, another world, where Apocalypse was ruler and I fought to bring his end, to turn back time, to replace this world. But in this time, I died I died in a battle. And you and I, we were never a family. Father gave us away left us when he realized mother was a genetically 'perfect' as he was, he killed her, and tried to control us."
"Petit' Remy from New Orleans, he not ya' brother. Remy LEBEAU Jean-Luc LeBeau's son."
"No, you were adopted by Jean-Luc, your real father is Nathaniel Essex, Mr. Sinister, my father I'm your sister, your sister, and the only family you have that isn't going to kill you or Rogue or experiment on you both."
Merde...Merde…merde…Sinister's son…an' I 'tought bein' de' prince of 'theivs was… The shock…the knowledge that now he was freed from the bed as his powers returned he could feel she was telling the truth, hit Remy LeBeau harder then almost anything ever had before. The shame and self-hate he thought could get no worse, dropped to new depths. The only thing that kept him from ending it right then and there, destroying all offspring of Sinister and the man himself, was the thought of Rogue, she was innocent, he would save her first then return to destroy all of Sinister, purge the world of any trace of the creature whom he now knew was his father.
"Rogue, where is ma Cherie?" The question is spoken in a tone so flat so empty. Clarice feels regret at telling this man before her, her brother the horrible truths she has.
"I will take you to her, Sinister is with her now, but I will repair the damage he has done, I will atone for my father's sins. He must pay for his deceit."
"Petit' it would take lifetimes."
"He has her well guarded I can get us in, but with him there I may not be able to get us out.'
"Remy will handle it." Closing his eyes Remy LeBeau concentrates on the empathy power he knows is within him, pushes it to the limit and shouts out a name praying he is heard.

* Jean *
* Yes, Scott? *
* Stop now, you must, you've been searching for hours. *
* I'm not giving up Scott, they are my friends. *
* My love, I didn't say give up, I said stop, as your leader I order you to stop and rest and as your husband I beg for you to please rest. They would want you to. *
* I know they would my love, which is the reason why I won't, I will find them. *
* A few more minutes then I will knock you out if I must *
Suddenly Scott is interrupted. * Jeannie? Jeannie?"
* What is that? *
* Oh my God Scott that is Remy! *
* Jeannie? *
* Remy? Remy keep talking *
* Jeannie, need ya' help, he got ma Cherie, 'dat monster has ma Rogue *
If she hadn't been prepared the sadness and despair in his mind would have broken her. Crying for his pain she sends him comfort the best she can.
* Remy, its not your fault we are coming, just tell me where you are, I'm so sorry Remy, we are coming *
