TwinstarDragon: they will be. Yes, she is, and yes she will

Previously:

They returned home, remy's eyes were wrapped in bandages. "Now, the dr. said to leave your eyes wrapped in bandages for the rest of the day, remy, and half passed tomorrow, just to be safe. Until your eyes heal from the treatment, you will not be going to school, little card," lucy explained.

"Ok, ma," remy simply said, before trying to find her. He found her, and gave her a hug. Lucy hugged her son back.

Now:

July 30th, five years later

Remy was now 10, going on eleven, and he was fast asleep, and his birthday was tomorrow.

Scotland, hogwarts, same time

James, lily, albus and shion were watching the device that writes the acceptance letters, waiting for "harry potter" to appear. After a few minutes of waiting, they reached the 'H' section. However, they all felt despair, as for his name to not appear, it meant one of three things. First: the person was dead. Second: the person was under a different name. Third: the person was going to a different school.

The potter family cried.

Louisiana, morning

Remy's eyes began to hurt. He could hardly see, and he was walking into walls. "Urgh," remy said, after walking into a wall for the twelfth time.

"Lucy saw her son stumbling into the walls. Remy, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I know it's been years since my eyes were fixed, ma, but i can't see a blasted thing, ma" remy complained.

"Oh, dear," lucy said, as she walked to her son and embraced him. Perhaps your vision will clear up in a bit, little card," lucy said.

"I hope so, ma," remy said, as he hugged his mother.

Ten minutes later

"Ma, my vision cleared," remy exclaimed happily.

"That's wonderful, little card. Let me see?" she asked.

When remy showed his mother his eyes, she saw something REALLY shocking… "remy, your eyes…" lucy faltered.

Remy was confused. "What's wrong with my eyes, ma?" he asked.

Instead of answering, lucy lebeau went and got a mirror, and showed him his eyes. Needless to say, he was shocked. The green of his iris stayed the same, but the white of his eyes turned black. "Are those my eyes, ma?" remy asked.

"They are, little card." She was scared how he'd react.

"They look cool, ma" remy said enthusiastically.

A few years later

Remy was cooking dinner for his mother, in order to surprise her, when he heard a loud gunshot. Remy ran to the source. What he saw, was a thug, holding a smoking gun, standing over his mother and his mother bleeding on the ground. "MA!" remy yelled, as he ran forward, unconsciously sending some energy to his staff.

Just as the thug pointed the gun at him, remy grabbed the thug's arm and redirected the shot, then slammed a palm onto the chest of the thug. The thug saw his wrist and chest start glowing. "What the fu-" was as far as the thug got, before his wrist exploded in a bloody shower. The thug screamed for a few seconds, before his chest exploded in a large gore shower.

Remy stood still, the fuck just happened? Then remy remembered his mother. "MA!" he called out, running to her, picking her up. "Ma, come on, please wake up," remy said.

She was barely able to open her eyes. "Little card…?" she was able to ask.

"Ma, stay with me, i can get you to a hospital," remy said, before he felt his mother grip his arm.

"No time, little card. I'm bleeding out too fast, even if you staunch the bleeding, to get me there. The closest hospital is three miles away," she whispered.

"Ma, please don't leave me," remy begged. "I've already lost the only friend i've ever had. I don't want to lose the only family i remember having!"

"Don't worry, little card, i will always be with you here," she points to his heart, "i will always watch over you, little…card…" her eyes closed, and she stopped breathing.

"Ma?" remy asked, gently shaking her. "Come on, ma, this isn't funny," he shook her a bit harder. "Come on, ma, wake up!" remy begged. A sinking feeling appeared in his stomach and heart. He put his thumb on her wrist, checking for her pulse.

There was none.

"Ma, please don't go," remy begged, crying.

After crying his heart out, he buried his mother in the backyard. Her headstone said:

Lucy lebeau

A loving and caring mother

Rest in peace

"Ma, i'm sorry, but i can't stay here. While i have happy memories here, the pain is just too much for me to stay. Good bye, ma, i will always love you," remy said in sorrow. With that said, he grabbed his things (including his mother's cookbook), he locked the door, then drove off.

At a certain school in new york

The head professor was doing some paperwork (one of the WORST evils in existence) when he felt powerful emotions. He couldn't focus on most of them, but the most prominent one was misery.

The professor went to a room, and put on the helmet inside it, in order to get a clearer reading. This mutant is leaving louisiana. I hope he doesn't kill himself for some reason, the professor said, before taking his helmet off.

Months later

After remy lebeau left louisiana, he started to learn poker. It was during this time that he started to be called 'Gambit' because he almost always wins the game, taking their money, valuables, and whatever else they wager.

*by this point, anne ran away from her home, and is in the same building as remy, but they haven't seen each other*

Remy was dealing in a person for his game of poker, while anne was watching a distance away.

That guy's cute anne thought to herself. She gripped her necklace. Remy, anne thought, where are you?

Two x-men silently entered the building.

It was a bit into the game that remy noticed something about the guy in front of him. "Those are some nice dog tags," he said, subtly charging the cards in his hand with energy. "Your employer must REALLY want me to join him," remy said, shocking the guy that he figured out that their boss sent him to recruit remy. "I'll do to you, what i did to the last one they sent," remy said, before tossing the charged card at the guy, sending him against the wall.

Anne and the x-men were shocked, and they were about to be more surprised.

Remy put some energy into the top card, drawing it and more cards with his energy, before launching them at the guy, trails of green light following the cards. (if you've seen the origin movie for wolverine, look up where the gambit in that movie launched wolverine out the building and through the wall. Remy did that, just change the burgundy/red light with emerald green)

Anne and the x-men were REALLY surprised. However, anne noticed something remy was wearing that caught her attention, while he was doing that: an exact replica of her necklace hanging around the guy's neck.

Anne was stunned. Remy? Is that you? She wondered as she gripped her necklace.

Anne and the x-men went to the hole after remy exited through the hole.

With remy

Remy pulls out two tonfa sticks and proceeds to viciously attack the guy, with the guy barely able to defend himself. Anne and the x-men were amazed at how well he moved, it was like he was dancing while fighting, with how graceful he looked. But, they were a bit concerned with how viciously he was attacking the guy.

After the guy was unable to move, remy put away his tonfa sticks, then grabbed the guy's neck and hoisted him to eye level. "Perhaps i should send your employer your head, to make my decision clear?" remy snarled. "Well, either way, imma do to you what i did to the thug that murdered me adoptive ma in cold blood, mon ami," remy said, his hand gripping the other guy's neck started to glow, remy then threw the guy a good distance.

After the guy landed, over 30 ft away, his neck blew up, separating the head from the neck in a rather gory display.

The eyes of anne and the x-men widened in shock.

Remy, what happened to you? Anne thought to herself.

Remy then noticed that he was being watched. "Can i help you all?" remy asked.

AN: REMY WAS TOUCHING THE DOG TAGS HIDDEN IN THE SHIRT OF THE GUY
