Come on Jean. Where are you? Remy scanned the sky for the blackbird as he leaned over Rogue's mangled body. Get here quick. "Come on Roguey, hold on, for me chere. Don't give up." Remy shifted his form over hers to make sure she was still breathing. Hang on Rogue. He looked to the sky for a moment then back at Rogue's face. He noticed a shard of glass imbedded in her scalp above her hairline. Blood dripped from the wound matting her hair to her face. He was tempted to remove it but was held back by the knowledge that he could hurt her. He turned his eyes to a rustling in the bushes to his right, but simply dismissed it and turned back to Rogue.
"I can help her." A voice ventured from Remy's right. Remy slowly turned his head already fearing who it might be. Before he could see the figure he closed his eyes and then opened them. Before him stood a man in purple with white skin and red eyes.
"Non, you don' exist. I got rid of you."
"Yes Remy, it's me. I'm not as disposable as you think dear boy." He took two steps before Gambit stood up and drew several cards from his duster. He held them high in the air as a warning.
"Don't come any closer, Sinister. Ya ain't layin' a hand on 'er." The cards started to turn white and buzzed with energy.
A wicked smile crossed Sinister's face as he stepped closer. "I've come to help you. I can help her, heal her. You care for her don't you"
"We don' need yo' 'elp Sinister." Remy spat the word as if it was fire on his tongue. "Jus' go back to the hole ya came from." Gambit turned from Sinister and went back to Rogue's side. His eyes filled with tears at the sound of her shallow breaths.
"Don't lie to yourself boy. The X-Men can't get here in time to save her." Sinister voice came closer until it was just behind his ear. "She'll be dead by the time they do get here."
"I said git! All yo' tings come with some bad complication and I ain't stupid no more." Remy looked from Rogue's face to the sky again to search for the blackbird. He knew the truth. They weren't going to get there in time. "What… What is it that you want fo' 'elping 'er."
If Remy had been looking at Sinister he would have seen victory shine in his eyes. "All I want, my dear boy, is some information on the X-Men. That's all. But since you don't want my help I'll leave." Remy turned just in time to see Sinister back away and in to the shadows. "Wait… Wait, Sinister. 'elp her. I'll do anything." As soon as he finished Sinister stepped out of the shadow and approached him.
"Pick her up and follow me." Sinister Commanded.
"Non. It'll 'urt her."
"Do you want help or not. Come with me." With that he turned expecting Remy to follow. Slowly Remy obliged and gently picked Rogue up. He stiffened at her groan of displeasure.
"Hold on chere," he whispered, "it'll be alright."
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
"Can't this thing go any faster?" Logan yelled impatiently.
"I'm doing the best I can. We'll be there in a few minutes." Scott calmly replied.
"Hurry up will ya. We don't have all day for you to take our time dickhead."
"Logan," Jean snapped, "This is no time to start a fight. We need to focus on Rogue and not testosterone."
"Whatever. Let's just get there." Logan replied dully. He didn't like for Jeanie to talk to him like he was a child. It's not that he didn't want to follow orders; he just didn't want them from a guy like Scott. Scott was a pansy and it would be fine by Logan if he would quit with his stupid girly ways.
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
As soon as Remy laid Rogue on the white table he knew it was a mistake.
Shoundta come here Remy. He's gonna pull some trick and hurt Rogue. Gotta watch out for Sinister.
Remy's thoughts were interrupted by Rogues moan.
"Don't worry chere. It'll be all right." He took her hand and glanced at Sinister at the control booth. "I'm right here chere." Looking at her face he saw her slightly open her eyes.
"Remy…"
"Remy, back away from the table." Sinister commanded. "Do it or cause her more harm."
Remy back away from rogue and joined Sinister. Sinister hit a few controls and the table Rogue was on began to move into a machine that looked similar to an MRI. When she was completely in the machine a panel closed her in. A white light could be seen from underneath the door.
"What's happenin' to 'er?"
Sinister turned to face Remy and said "This a machine that I designed myself. I created it so that it would "mend" those in need of mending. Yes, I know dear boy, but what does it do? It stabilizes the fractured molecules and repairs them. The process doesn't take long, just a few minutes. Now, about our arrangement."
"I want to make something clear Sinister. I won't hurt Rogue. No matter what. Or my friends. Just information."
Sinister laughed out loud at Remy. "Silly boy. Do you think you can tell ME what to do. You belong to me. You always have and always will be. If you truly care for the girl as you say you will do exactly as I say or you WILL regret it. I am not joking. Remember, You are in my debt not the other way around. I will contact you later. We will meet and you will get the information I request. You will give me the information without question and I will let you return to the girl. Do you understand?"
Remy looked Sinister in the eye and contemplated his answer. If I say no he'll keep Rogue here and hurt her and if I say yes I'll never get away from him. Guess my answer isn't so hard to realize.
"O' course Sinister." Remy couldn't help but fell like he had truly lost this time. He would be deceiving his friends and family. What would they do if they found that he was destroying all that they worked for??? Don't worry chere, I'll find a way out of this.
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
Remy carried Rogues unconscious body back to the wrecked car. Laying her down on the grass he realized that the others would be there soon.
Sinister is too smart. He didn't heal her al the way so that the X-Men wouldn't suspect anything. Damn him to hell.
In the distance he could here the blackbird landing.
"Remy?!" Storm's voice called out.
"Over 'ere! Hurry up"
"Get out of my way Gumbo." Wolverine went to Rogue's side and glared at Gambit. "What the hell were you thinking! You could have killed her. Don't ever touch her again."
"Logan stop this now. Remy is not responsible for this. Move aside and Let Jean help her."
Logan stood up and let Jean take care of Rogue. "It ain't over bub. Just wait."
With that he walked past the group and got back on the blackbird. Scott and Storm could only stare at his bizarre behavior.
