Epilogue
xXx
It isn't easy in the end. They take Anna back to the mansion, along with all the other survivors of Nathaniel Essex's experiments, but it takes time. Trust is hard for her to find, control is hard for her to come by and fear is hard for her to forget.
All at once she is free and safe and everything she once believed is shattered into a million little pieces that will never fit back together. She has a room, a bed, everything she never had in the madman's care, but the nightmares still keep her awake at night and no matter what the telepaths try, they cannot make them go away.
To everyone's surprise, Remy stays at the mansion and remains a part of the team of X-Men. When he isn't on a mission or training he is with Anna, who clings to him as though he is the very air she breathes.
But he doesn't mind. Something that has been missing for so long has finally been returned to him. Remy won't be letting Anna go anytime soon.
Often they find themselves sitting in silence on the roof of the mansion, looking out at the grounds, fingers intertwined as the breeze carries the sounds of the students of the strange school loitering on the sunny campus.
Remy always finds himself seeking peeks at Anna as white wisps of her hair dance on the wind, a peaceful smile gracing her full lips and he smiles with her.
He will never let her go again.
