Truth but not the whole truth

Next day at noon in the med bay

Beast came in with aloud of medical stuff on a tray, while Remy was just there, sitting up in his bed, watching him.

"Gambit I want you to walk to the door for me without causing yourself any pain."

While Gambit was getting up he was making faces to show that he is in pain.

He manages to make two steps before he collapsed onto of Beast's shoulder.

"So ok, mon legs are little numb, but I'll be fine in cinq minutes."

Just then the professor wheeled himself in with wolverine behind him not looking impressed with Remy.

"Gambit, do you mind telling us what happened the night we found you."

"About sept person's followed m', to de ally y' found m', and beat m' up."

"Do you know who did this?" asked the professor.

"Dunno, mon ami, didn' see their faces".

That was a lie; he knew it was the Assassins that attacked him. He just didn't tell them, so they won't go and ask Rogue for her help and she ends up getting hurt.

At that point Logan spoke up.

"Just how old are you, Gumbo?"

"I'm dix-neuf. And I go to college. Anything else yo wanna know"

"Yeah, what are you studying? Kidnapping class"

"Non, I'm studying d.t, art, politics, history and physics."

"Did you even have a clue what politics is about? Or even the law?"

"Oui, just chose not to follow the law, but I swear I'm following it now."

"How do we know you're tellin' the truth, bub?"

"Logan! If Gambit says he following the law then we should believe him."

"Non, non, non, non, non, non. Gambit is for business, my name is Remy Lebeau."

"How do we know that's ya real name, bub?"

"Ask rogue she knows, but I didn' tell her m' last name, she kinda heard it."

"Logan!" The shot a glance at Logan, letting him know that he just read his mind, and he didn't like the langue he was about to use.

"Logan, Charles, Mr. Lebeau needs some more rest." Beast spoke up.

At that Charles, then Hank and then Logan left the room.

Up on the upper levels

"You think Gumbo is telling the truth?" Wolverine asked Charles.

"I don't know. But when I glimpsed in the mind Apocalypse, this was only the beginning of how Remy joined us."

"You mean Gumbo is gonna join us?" Logan looked more shocked than ever.

"Yes, and we have to prepare for a fight with highly dangerous people."

"Are these people mutants?"

"No, they are highly dangerous people, who call themselves the Assassins Guild. You fought them before, when you rescuing Rogue."

Wolverine gave a short laugh. "You call those jokes highly dangerous?"

"They will be more prepared than last time." Charles stopped for a second remembering reading Gambit's mind that night when they were looking for Rogue, and he can remember Gambit thinking about Rogue, how beautiful she was. But knowing him, he probably still does. Even though they only got to know him a short length of time.

"Charles!" Logan said that with much concern.

"Yes Logan, I was just thinking of how the Assassins could be stronger."

"And?"

"Very great, because when you fought them, that wasn't all of them."

"How much more?"

"A couple hundred!"

"I think we can take them. But what do they want with Gumbo?"

"They want him dead"

"If think everyone wants his dead body!" Logan said that under his breath, while they carried on going to the professor's office.
