Authors Note: I'm sorry this isn't planned, but It was brought to my attention by a reviewer of the last chapter, that I left y'all on a bit of a cliffhanger with Gambit beginning to feel very alone. So before the big reunion, I'm going to do a short chapter from Gambit's point of view. By the way in this he has a slightly faster healing ability. Italics are thoughts.
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own x-men evolution, if I did Romy would had had way more screen time!
I Stand Alone
Remy Le Beau had never been known for being reliant on others. He had never felt incomplete. His heart had always shared all his emotions; it had never felt like nothing more than a dull ache within his chest. That is until now. ..
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
...He had walked for what seemed like miles before it hit him, literally. He had somehow, lost in his deliberation, managed to walk into a lamppost! Sure it was alright that he was the price of thieves and could probably steal the crown the jewels without blinking; but when it came to basic special awareness, he had all the grace of a drunk monkey. It just happened that he'd been brought to his senses nearby to a pub, so he decided to go in...
I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others fear.
You are not to roam in this forgotten place,
Just the likes of me are welcome here.
Everything breathes and I know each breath
For me it means life for others it's death.
It's perfectly balanced, perfectly planned,
More than enough for this man.
...As he entered the surprisingly quiet pub. He quickly pushed his sunglasses up his nose in order to prevent any unwanted attention. An hour later, and he was still no more drunk than when he entered. "Damn healing factor!" he thought to himself. "What is it about Rogue that I just can't seem to get out of my head?" Suddenly he heard a scream from outside...
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
...He ran faster than he had ever done before; he was determined to be some kind of hero, even if Rogue couldn't see it, he needed to prove to himself that there was actually some good in him...
I've seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise
...He reached the victim in record time, sunglasses firmly pushed up his nose. The woman seemed to remind him of someone: Rogue? His opponent seemed to have had some sort of training; but for Remy, who had grown up on the streets and been trained mercilessly in the thieves' guild, he was little more than a mild workout. It was all going well until the assailant's flailing had caught his sunglasses. The woman, who had up until this point been rooted to the ground in shock, ran screaming something about how Muties should all be locked up. It was typical he supposed, Rogue had been the only one to ever like his eyes. But she was gone now...
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
...And that was when Remy Etienne Le Beau finally realised something; sooner or later everyone will leave or betray you. His mind was made up, it time to stand alone!
