I DO NOT OWN X-MEN EVOLUTION!
Chapter 7: Healing
Remy glares ahead as they dock onto the island, jumping off the boat once it stopped and immediately trudges toward Sinister's hideout-Jean, Scott and Evan follow, looking around.
Mister Sinister was looking at all of his samples he had collected, smirking a bit. A loud bang rings out, followed by a crash, not even turning around to know who it was. "I see you found your way back." Sinister says, still not looking up.
"Y' poisoned 'er!" Remy yells. "We had a deal."
Sinister turns his head, face blank. "Yes, well, you running away with her wasn't part of that deal so I did what I had to. I know you're here for the antidote."
"Then you'll hand it over." Scott demands, appearing next to Remy with Jean and Evan.
Mister Sinister straightens. "Ah, I wasn't expecting Mr. Summer's and Ms. Grey to come."
"We're here to help Rogue, so if you will, hand over the antidote." Jean says.
Sinister smirks, hands behind his back. "Oh? You think I'm just going to hand it over? I know you tried giving her an antidote already, but that just makes this poison work faster. It'd put her in cardiac arrest, her body writhing in pain while she foams at the mouth as you waste your time trying to get something I won't willingly give to you."
Remy sneers, taking out a bunch of cards and gives them a larger charge than usual, then tosses them to the case where Sinister had his blood samples-causing a massive explosion. Jean uses her powers to shield them, the room cloudy as they wait. Sinister emerges, coughing then looks over his shoulder. "NO! MY WORK!" He yells, staring daggers at the group.
Remy lunges forward and starts to kick and punch him, sending charged cards at him too. Sinister fights back, but Remy was dodging his hits as adrenaline rushed through him. Jean, Scott and Evan start looking for an antidote, helping Remy occasionally.
Remy charges up his fist, sending a punch to Sinister's stomach and face. He growls as he gets thrown back, wiping some blood from his mouth. "You think you can take me on, boy? Pathetic." Sinister snarls, punching Remy hard to the ground.
Remy coughs up some blood, struggling to get up. Sinister punches him again, smirking a bit. "Don't worry, you'll be joining her soon. I'll put you out of your misery."
Remy kicks Sinister under his feet, yelling as he sends another charged punch to his face. He keeps punching his face, rage in his eyes, Sinister trying to stop him, but Remy kept repeatedly punching. Jean's eyes catch a vial peeking out from a drawer, using her powers to bring it forward. She gasps. "I think this is it."
"Gambit! Gambit!" Scott yells, trying to get his attention. "We have the antidote!"
Remy looks over, stopping his assault of punches, but this allowed Sinister to have the upper hand and punch Remy off of him, sending him backwards into a wall. Sinister huffs as he gets up and stands in front of Remy who was barely able to get up. "You will not make it off this island alive." He sneers.
"Hey! Mister Sinister! Back off!" Scott yells, then uses his optic blasts to send him backwards.
Sinister cries out in pain, gazing down in shock. Scott blasts him again, Evan using his spikes to pin him to the wall. Remy shakily gets up, Jean helping him a bit. "This is for the Morlocks!" Evan yells, sending spikes into Sinister's chest.
"And don't ever mess with the X-men again!" Scott growls, blasting Sinister with another powerful optic blast.
"Good…riddance." Remy mutters as he gazes at Sinister's unmoving body.
"We should really get you looked at and cleaned up." Jean says, noticing the multiple cuts, bruises and gashes all over Remy's body.
"'Ll be fine, we have t' go, now." Remy makes a face.
They rush out of there, leaving a severely injured Sinister slumped against the wall. Scott drives the boat back to cities dock, Remy holding onto the antidote in his hand, breathing heavily. Once docked, Evan takes them back to the Morlocks, the group being quick as they didn't know how much time they had left. "Oh my stars and garters!" Hank's eyes widen when he catches the group approaching them.
"We got it." Remy breathes out, handing Callisto the antidote.
"Hopefully this works." Callisto looks down at it.
Kitty looks up worriedly. "She's shaking. Is this going to work? Is Rogue going to be, like, okay?"
"We'll see." Callisto answers.
Callisto injects the liquid into Rogue, everyone waiting with baited breath. Rogue lets out a gasp, then her breathing starts to regulate, everyone sighing in relief. Remy gives a weak smile, his hand going over hers gently. "'S over, we're safe." He breathes out.
"You okay Cajun?" Logan looks over, noticing the slight swaying.
Then Remy collapses, everyone looking over in shock to see what was wrong. He had several gashes and cuts still bleeding from his fights, everyone realizing his adrenaline had ran out.
--
Rogue gasps awake, waking up in a bright room only to recognize it as the mansions medical wing. Still adjusting to her surroundings, she can faintly hear beeping, noticing an iv in her arm and hooked up to a heart monitor. She rubs her eyes, still feeling weak as she tries to sit up, then her curtain flies open. "Oh my god, Rogue! You're awake!" Kitty gasps, hugging her best friend tightly. "We all thought you were, like, going to go into cardiac arrest and die!"
"W-what happened?" Rogue asks, her voice a bit hoarse. "Ah remember gettin' shot with somethin'…"
"You got poisoned," Kitty frowns. "You need to rest though, the antidote is still working the poison out of your system so you're gonna be weak and looking like a ghost for a little bit. I've, like, never seen Gambit so pissed though. He totally went and risked his life to save yours. I think he's in love with you." Kitty smiles a bit at the last part, noticing Rogue's checks turn a light red.
Then it clicked to her. "Where is Remy? Is he okay?" Rogue asks, looking around, but the curtains prevented her from seeing the whole room.
Kitty bites her lip. "Well… Jean, Scott and Evan explained what had happened with him and Mister Sinister. He got beat up pretty bad and immediately went to get the antidote before patching up the wounds Evan gave him. He was running on adrenaline and when he finally brought you the antidote and saw you were okay… his body, like, gave out."
Rogue felt tears prick the corners of her eyes. "Is he…?"
"He's going go be okay for now! Mr. McCoy was able to stabilize him before he could totally bleed out." Kitty reassures her, receiving a light smack from Rogue.
"You totally had meh thinkin' he was dead!"
"Sorry! If it makes you feel any better, he's in the other bed. But I would, like, stay in bed for a while, Rogue. You need your strength." Kitty winces a bit, holding up her hands apologetically.
Rogue sighs in relief, settling back against her pillows. Kitty smiles at her and gets up. "Well, I have to get going. I'll come visit later okay?"
"Do ya know when he's gonna wake up?" Rogue asks softly.
"Not sure… He had a lot of gashes, cuts and bruises." Kitty shakes her head sadly.
"'Kay… thanks Kitty." Rogue nods, looking down.
Kitty gives her best friend a sympathetic smile, then leaves the room, leaving Rogue alone with her thoughts and the heart monitors beeping.
Rogue gets up, slowly and hobbles over to her curtain, opening it as she her other hand clings to her iv stand. She opens the other curtain, gasping softly at the sigh of Remy asleep in bed. He had his wounds bandaged up, some gauze on his cheek, his chest was bare with a huge wrap around it. She weakly puts a gloved hand over his bare one, using her other hand to wipe away tears that were starting to pour out. She didn't cry a whole lot, but seeing him alive and healing made her feel relieved and at ease. "We're safe…" She whispers.
Rogue lets out a couple coughs, going back to her bed, her eyes shutting as soon as her head hits the pillow. She didn't think getting out of bed would take so much energy out of her, but then again she's never been poisoned before. Rogue drifts back asleep, her hand resting on her stomach.
Remy blinks awake slowly, everything blurry at first, then he squints his eyes as everything was bright. He looks around, noticing he was in a bed with a couple heart monitors beeping in the background. He tries to sit up but hisses in pain, his eyes looking down and noticing the bandages around him. He runs a hand through his hair, thinking back to what happened. 'I almost died…' He thought.
He relaxed when he remembered he beat up Mister Sinister, Scott and the others finishing him up and giving Rogue the antidote. Rogue. His heart raced a bit, trying to figure out where she was. Groaning in pain as he forces himself to sit up, he looks around then removes the curtain around his bed. He tugs at his iv fluid stand and gets up, wincing in pain. Remy opens the other curtain in front of him, hearing another heart monitor, his eyes landing on a sleeping Rogue.
He felt his breath get hitched in his throat at the sight of her, noticing she was paler than usual, but her color slowly returning to normal, her breathing was a bit ragged still, figuring her body was still expelling the poison out of her system with the antidote. She stirs in her sleep a bit, her eyes fluttering open slowly, then she blinks as she looks up. "R… Remy?" Rogue blinks,
Her voice hoarse as she had just woken up.
"Rogue! Y' okay!" Remy felt relief hit him, Rogue noticing his relieved facial expression.
He winces in pain as he hunches forward, his hands going on her bed. "Oh mah gawd, ya okay?" Her eyes widen as she weakly sits forward.
"Heh. 'M fine." Remy gives her a small smirk, his eyes squinting in pain.
Rogue makes a face, her nose wrinkled. "Ya stupid swamp rat…" She mutters.
"What?" Remy looks at her.
"Ah said ya stupid swamp rat! Ya almost got yoahself killed!" Rogue raises her voice, brows furrowed, then she coughs roughly.
"But it was worth it t' save y' otherwise y'd be dead." Remy looks at her, trying to stay on his feet.
Rogue noticed, her brows furrow in worry. "Ya should lie back down. Ya maght pass out o' open yoah wounds."
Remy groans, sitting down on her bed, Rogue moved over to make room for him. He gives her a pained smile. "Y'know, some people are worth dyin' fo'."
Rogue sighs, her voice soft. "What am ah gonna do with ya?"
Remy made sure his iv stand was in a good spot before settling in next to Rogue. He grits his teeth as he adjusts himself, Rogue's emerald eyes looking at all his bandages. "How badly do they hurt?" Rogue asks.
"Oh, only when I move…. An' sit up…. An' walk." Remy gives her a small, playful smirk.
Rogue moves her hand to lightly touch the bandages on his chest, her gaze soft. "Is he…?" She starts to ask, but couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence, Remy sensing what she was trying to ask.
"Oui, pretty sure he is." He nods, his hand going over hers.
"Good. Ah don't want ta see him evah again. Not aftah everythin' he's done." Rogue shivers.
"Yeah, me neither…" Remy looks down, both of their minds remembering everything they have been through.
Rogue coughs, snapping Remy out of his thoughts. "Y' should rest, chère." He comments.
"Yeah. Ah still feel so weak…" Rogue sighs.
She lays her head against Remy's shoulder, her hand laying in his chest while his was still on hers. Remy places a kiss in her hair. "'M glad y' okay. I was…" Remy starts.
"Runnin' on angah an' adrenaline?" Rogue finishes sleepily.
"Yeah… I was so angry at 'im fo' doin' dat t' y'. He must've planned it out, but I still couldn' save y' from 'im." Remy sighs.
Rogue gives him a weak smile. "Well, ah'm fahne now. We can rest easy, we're safe."
Remy smiles at her. "Yeah, we're safe."
Rogue yawns, her eyes slowly closing, but she wanted to stay awake a little longer with Remy, but both were relaxed together now that they both knew the other was okay. As sleep took over, losing her battle, Rogue's body leaned against Remy's as slept, Remy smiling sleepily and nuzzling her.
The two southerners fall asleep in each others arms-well tried their best without hurting the other as the night continued. Hank had come back in to check on them both when he found Remy in Rogue's bed and not his own. A small smile forms on his lips, letting the two be and checks their conditions, then exits the room after writing down their vitals, turning the lights down a bit to give them a break from the florescent lighting. They were home, alive and safe and that's all that mattered to them, relieved to be away from Mister Sinister who is believed to be dead.
