The X-man Gambit, even known as Remy LeBEAU the Casanova, woke up in his
boathouse by someone who knocked on the white tree door. Gambit muttered
something no one could ever understand and he turned himself on the bed
trying to ignore the knocks. It became silent for a while but the knocks
grew in power and the door vibrated by the power. A hard thick voice could
be heard.
”If Remy LeBEAU doesn’t lift his bony ass now, Remy LeBEAU is gonna stay in
his bed the whole day with stomach pain. Consider it as a threat Gambit.”
Remy smiled one of his charming smiles. It was Logan.
“Remy LeBEAU consider de t´oug`t.”
“Remy LeBEAU, yah should not consider the thought yah are gonna do it now. I
hate to wake yah up!”
“Merde, I t´oug´t ya liked it, ta wake me up I mean, is it over between us
now?” He said sarcastic and he heard Logan muttered.
“Crazy Cajun…” Remy smiled and put on a pair of oversized beige trousers and
a black polo sweater. He was so cold these days, both psychic and physic.
Rouge had left him so he could decide over his destiny and Remy had looked
in the Deaths eyes three times in Antarctica. They both knew, Rouge and
Gambit, that it was Gambit who was responsible for that Rouge left him in
the snow, but that couldn’t help the relationship between them. Joseph had
always liked her and he took the advantage after Remy, and now they walked
around like beloveds, he and Rouge. Gambit hated it. It took Remy hard and
he could not get over it, every time he saw them he had to look into the
ground, the pain was to enormous. He really loved Rouge but it was to late.
To late to say he love he had lost a girl to another for the first time and
this feeling he had was new. Remy was still a betraitor in some eyes, it
seemed that everyone waited for him to fail, to betray them. Remy smiled
bitterly. ~Maybe I s´ould make dem ´appy and betray dem, maybe under a
battle wit´ Magneto, W´at a revenge ´ey Cajun?~ Remy knew that he was too
sarcastic but he couldn’t help it, he had no plans to make Bobby glad. Remy
went out from the boathouse and hurried up over the hill to the main
building, Xavier’s institute for higher learning. He was so hungry that he
could eat up the building and the clock was around 1.00 a.m he hurried more.
The first one he saw in the building was Jean signing a paper.
“Good morning Jean, chere, ya look as gorgeous as usual.” Jean looked at him
and shook her head.
“Remy you are such a Casanova…” She smiled, Remy always teased with her.
“Admit dat ya like it, w´en are ya and I gonna be a couple? Ya know ´ow long
I ´ave been waiting…” Remy smiled and then he saw Scott, his smile turned
into ice.
“Gambit…” His voice was full of anger.
“S´exuse Scott, I just…”
“Thank you Gambit, I don’t need to hear…”
“I’ll ´it de road den…” Remy went away and Jean smiled against her husband.
“Are you jealous dear husband?“ Scott looked at her with surprise.
“What?”
*********************************

Remy found the small kitchen and he started to plunder the fridge, he was
hungry to death. He made five sandwiches with cheese and ham a la Gambit
after that he sat down on the window table with a glass of milk and his
sandwiches, He was alone in the kitchen and he started to laugh.
“Remy LeBEAU, Scott doesn’t like ya at all.” And then he started to eat like
he was mad and hadn’t eaten for three years. Food was something he really
missed during his travel on Antarctica. When he returned home, if this
really was his home, he looked like a skeleton on diet and Logan had
wondered how he made it.
The door opened and it was Rouge who stepped in to the kitchen, behind her
was Joseph he had his hands around her waist. The laughed. Remy looked at
them with dark eyes and he wished that he were three miles from there. They
didn’t notice Gambit by the window.
“What?! did Gambit really do that, despite all the bees and the ants?”
“Yeah sugah, I thought he was mad oh something.” They laugh and Remy knew
exactly what they where talking about, He and Rouge were on a picnic in the
beginning of their relationship and the place Remy had chosen was full of
ants and bees. He couldn’t admit that the place he had chosen was a failure
so he tried to scare away the insects, he didn’t succeed. Gambit drunk up
the milk took two sandwiches and went out. He slammed the door hard and went
out on the grass field. Rouge and Joe looked behind them but they couldn’t
see anyone, they saw Gambit walked on the grass field and Rouge saw the
glass and the sandwiches by the window. There was no doubt it was Gambit.
Rouge took a deep breath.
*********************************

Gambit was full of hate, he hated everyone so god damn much, how could she
do this to him. Did she enjoy it, to see him so hurt?
“I guess dat I just can lay down and die, no one would ever miss me…” He
muttered, he looked up and then he saw Bobby and Sam sitting on the bench
under the tree. He giggled for himself when he thought ~Dey almost looks
like dey are in love. ~ Then he saw this girl; she stood beside Bobby and
Sam while they tried to talk to her. She had to be a new because ´Remy
didn’t recognize her, she wasn’t that tall and that made it difficult for
her to move because her wings were in her way. They were enormous, to big
for her at least, the wings tops touched the ground and she were going to
have problem to go through the door. Remy liked the wings, they were pure
white and looked like an angels wings, but he felt sorry for her. ~S´e must
´ave a great problem wit´ dese. ~ Remy couldn’t see how she looked like but
he saw her red brown hair, it was more red than it was brown and it was
straight and thick. Remy looked at her with big eyes she was so… beautiful
with her oversized wings and Remy felt that he had to take care of here. She
looked so weak with her pale skin and those big wings. She had a pair of
baggy sport trousers, which were black, and she an odd looking white
sweater. The back of that sweater had been cut so the wings could have some
space.
Remy walked to them and stopped right beside the girl…
“Bonjour chere, do dey disturb you?” The girl looked at him with bi eyes,
she was taken by surprise of that man with the French accent.
“Gambit, get lost…” Remy looked at Bobby and he smiled.
“If ya let ´er go…”
“Gambit, ya got nothing tah say about this Cajun. Ya let her be, I don’t
trust ya for one sec, not after what ya did to Rouge and about that in
Antarctica…”
“Ya s´ould not care about dat, its non of ya business so let it be…” Remy
talked with a loud voice and the conversation started to be out of control.
This got the attention from Logan and Peter (Colossus) they started to walk
to Remy and Bobby’s direction.
“Oh yeah? Go and pack some snow will ya?”
“You your… Merde! Sacre bete Iceman, mon…” Bobby turned into ice and Remy
hesitated, he knew that you weren’t allowed to use your power against other
X-men. But he… he hadn’t any cards and the only thing that he could charge
were Bobby but then he would… Remy backed away from him.
“No Bobby I aint gonna fight ya even if ya deserve a real good kick- in-
the- ass.”
“Ya are afraid admit it instead of…” Remy´s eyes sparkled with red
bio-kinetic and Logan grabbed him quickly and pulled him away. Colossus did
the same as soon Bobby turned into normal.
“No Cajun, I aint gonna allow this don’t let me use that stupid hero thing.”
“Qui Vivra verra, sacre…” Remy got out of Logan’s arms, he took a step
forward and spitted on Bobby’s shoes. Bob Drake looked at him with hate.
“This Cajun I’ll never forgive ya.”
“Bobby ya really pissed ya pants, you had the luck that Remy didn’t have his
cards with him…” Everybody looked at the tree were the voice came from. It
was Marrow.
“Marrow get lost to ya basement and play with ya bones will ya…” Marrow
looked at him with hate. Remy knew that she, inside, were very damage by
those words but she didn’t show it.
“Iceman, ya are gonna end up like a virgin if ya keep up like that, wis´ you
could teach me a little…” He teased with him; Marrow started to laugh high
and manage to say between her laughs…
“High five for that Cajun…” Logan couldn’t hide that he chuckled little
about that. Bobby was the only one that didn’t laugh he tried to get out of
Peters grab but it was no point to even try.
“Ya are a…” Remy smiled at him and said to Logan when he grabbed him again.
“You can let me go, I can control my self…”
“…Traitor!” Remy looked at Bobby and Logan said.
“Can I trust ya?” He found out that he said it the wrong way and Remy was
sure to get it wrong.
“I wouldn’t dream to betray ya Log.” He said sarcastic and he turned around
and looked into Logan’s wild animal eyes. Logan became unsure on Remy but he
let him go, it was something in Remy´s eyes that was scary but Logan didn’t
show it.

End of Part One!
