Chapter Five

She laid on her bed, door locked, and window open. She was trying, and failing, to forget the previous night. Her hazel eyes gazing at the white ceiling, which seemed to be lowering close to her.

She could still see his face, clear as day, close to hers, his hand caressing her face. No matter what she told herself, she couldn't erase the kiss from her mind, nor the feeling from her lips. It had been deep, passionate, and, as much as she hated to admit it, she had loved every second of it.

Despite all of her efforts, she could not figure out what had held her so entranced as he kissed her, nor what had made her enjoy it. The entire concept of having an actual relationship with Remy was hard for her to grasp, and, in her words, did not compute. She loved him, but she hated him.

With a sigh, Jen stood up, and headed for Self Defense, trying to avoid the red eyed human bomb. She was thankful that day, because, they would be working on hand to hand combat. Which gave her a chance to kill that damn Cajun.

Just as she walked in, Remy grabbed her, and they began the class…. Jen beat his ass, hard. There was no mercy, just pure unadulterated hatred. Yes, the Cajun was, indeed, her next victim of over kill.

"Chill out, Jen!" Remy said as he tried to block the punches she threw.

"No."

"Jeez! Are you still mad about yester…day…. Oww." he groaned as her foot made contact with his family jewels.

"Yes." she stormed off, wanting to kiss him, and wanting to continue to beat the living shit out of him.

"Maybe I should be a little more aggressive…" he muttered.

"I hate him! Why can't he just leave me alone? But…he is really sweet, and that kiss…. DAMN CAJUN!?" she thought irritably.

She walked stiffly to her room, and tried to relax, but it seemed that things just didn't want to go her way. Magneto had snuck in and kidnapped her, taking her to his own hideout. Since she wasn't going to wake up in the next five minutes, he threw her in with her parents.

Remy had looked everywhere, but he still couldn't find her, and it was bugging him. Finally, he got Logan to try to sniff her out, like a blood hound. Worry showed in his eyes as a dark look crossed Logan's face.

"Magneto has her. Get Ororo, and the others. We'll get her back." Logan said.

Remy ran off, he had to get her back; he couldn't wait for them to come up with a plan of attack, it would take too long. He had to go get her himself, and he was going to kill Magneto in the process. She was the only one he cared about at that moment, and he was prepared to do anything to save her.

Logan frowned as soon as he heard the motorcycle rev up; he knew Remy would do something rash. Quickly, he ran to round up the X Men, and get to Magneto's base. They had to get there before Remy, or he would probably get hurt.

"Oh, my head. What happened? Where am I? Voices! I hear voices!" Jen thought as she laid on the cold hard floor.

"She should be waking up soon. Should we make sure nobody gets in?"

"No, nobody can get in this room. Leave her be for now, we'll give her the serum later."

"Serum? What serum? Where am I? Wait! That last voice! It was Magneto's! Did he kidnap me? Where's Remy?" she thought hurriedly.

Groaning, she sat up, her eyes slowly adjusting to the bright light. Her parents were laying, injured on the floor as well, and it looked like they were about to die. Quickly, she ran over to them, her eyes filled with concern.

"Mom? Dad? Are you alright?" she asked.

"Baby? Is that you?" her mother asked.

"Yes…. What did they do to you?"

"Just a bit of torture." her father answered.

She was very afraid, they were losing blood, and it looked like they didn't have much longer. Gently, she kissed her parents' foreheads, and sat beside them. Much to her surprise, they healed, quickly.

A smile lit her face, but soon faded when Magneto entered the room. A large man stood beside him, and blocked the doorway, just by standing there.

"Well, it seems you have other uses as well. Juggernaut, bring her outside. There's something I'd like her to see." Magneto said.

Without a word, the large man, called Juggernaut, picked her up, and carried her outside. Ever so careful, he placed a neural inhibitor on her and held her as Magneto dragged a wounded Remy into the clearing. Turning pale, Jen tried to run to him, but Juggernaut held fast.

"We caught him trying to break in…. What should we do with him?" he asked.

"Let him go. Please…." Jen begged.

"I don't think so. Trespassing is illegal."

"Please!" she cried.

With a malicious grin, Magneto tied him to a tree, and allowed one of his followers to beat him. Blood ran down his tan face as the man punched him in the jaw, and eyes. Bruises formed as they, then, began to cut him with whatever they could find.

"I'll tell you what, Jinx…. Join me, and I'll let him go, refuse, and I'll cure him, then kill him." Magneto said sinisterly.

"I…" Jen stammered.

"Don't do it, Jen! He's a liar! Don't join him…. I'd rather die than see you working with him!" Remy gasped.

"How sweet… I can already feel cavities forming! Better choose wisely." Magneto said.

"I…"

"Don't do it!" Remy cried.

"I can't. I can't turn my back on my friends." Jen said softly.

"So be it."

She watched helplessly in horror as Magneto produced a needle filled with the Cure; tears running down her tan face. With a ruthless laugh, he jabbed the syringe into Remy's arm, laughing manically as it began to work. Then, he pulled out a black dagger, his eyes glinting with madness.

"No…." Jen wept softly.

Without hesitation, he plunged it deep into Remy's chest, letting his blood soak his hands. Tears flowed down Jen's face as they untied him and allowed his body to fall to the ground. Juggernaut let her go, and she ran to his side, letting her tears fall onto his face.

"Please don't go. Please don't leave me." she wept.

"Jen….You did the right thing. I…I wish I could've said this earlier…. I lo…" he never finished the sentence.

"NO!" Jen cried.

Weeping, she gathered his dead body into her arms, and held him close. How could he die on her like this? Gently, she bent forward, and kissed his cold lips; the pain in her heart burning at her as she held him.

"I…. I love you, Remy." she murmured softly.
