Remy LeBeau; Gambit (1st post)

It had been awile since Gambit had been at the X-Mansion, and he still found it weird to be standing at the door, but he needed there help if he was going to find his sister. The facts were simple, his foster-father Jean-Luc had birth records of two mutants in his position. One of them was Remy the other, was a mystery. A mystery Gambit intended to solve, this young woman may be his sister... and the only way to find out for sure is to find her. Gambit thought back to what Jean-Luc said when he found these records...

"Remy dis is your family not her!" he closed his eyes remembering the entire conversation.
"Dats because you kept me from knowing her Jean-Luc!" he paused then fired back, "Besides Family don't use each other like dis one dose!"
He remembered Jean-Luc and Henri's face when he said that, and started out "I'll be going then..." he muttered.
"If you leave Remy! you never come back!" Jean-Luc yelled to him.
"I herd dat before..." Remy smiled...

"I herd dat before...." he repeated coming out of the flashback, and looked at the door again, and rang the doorbell. hopefully he'd get a warm welcome...

Rogue woke to the normal sound of her alarm clock. After getting up, she gathered her things and walked down the hall to the bathroom. There she took care of all her morning tasks and took a shower. It was relaxing and peaceful. When she was dressed, she started to put on her makeup, which was simple. Eyeliner and some lip gloss. She brushed her red hair and re-arranged her white bangs. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, hating the way she looked.
She covered her tank top with a hoodie and then put on a set of arm warmers that went up to her elbows. From her neck down was covered. She checked to make sure that if she stretched or moved a lot, that nothing would expose. As usual, her clothes were baggy enough to cover her completely.

She stood in the kitchen searching the fridge for something to munch on. It was mid afternoon and Saturday. She opened the freezer side of the fridge and scanned all the things in it. "Sweet!" she cheered then grabbed a 1/2 pint container of ice-cream. She walked over, grabbed a spoon out of the drawer and hopped up on the counter. She smiled then took a quick bite, savoring the chocolate flavor. Suddenly her bliss was interrupted, as she expected it would be. "Damn it." she cursed under her breath while hopping down. After setting down her ice-cream, she walked to the door and opened it.

"Remy!" Rogue nearly screamed before lunging a hug at him. She held onto the hug for a minute before grabbing his hand and leading him inside. "Come on in!" she said then closed the door behind them. "Where you been?" she asked, her tone changing from excited to a bit angry. As she began to speak more, her accent started to show. As she waited for an answer, she turned around and looked for anyone else, particularly Wolverine. She knew they didn't get along, but she didn't want to make Wolverine mad by her not telling him that Remy was there.

When she turned around there he was. He looked almost like a bum or a bachelor standing in his white, dirty top and equally dirty jeans. He held a cold beer in his hands despite it was morning already. His eyes were narrow yet they didn't seem to be of any particular emotion if anything they looked slightly amused. "So the french surrenders and comes crawling back for help. History has an ironic way of repeating itself." he said with a smirk and sipped the beer. This was a fun game, poke the bear and see what happens. Since the Danger Room duel and that foul trick by gambit he'd had some respect for him or more rather; a will to redeem himself. He'd met Scott a bit earlier who'd only peered at him with a fatherly look of distaste of his out of control son. He had also refused the beer Logan had offered with a sneer. "I'm off to the library. I don't drink and drive."
"Don't." Logan had simply replied with that same smirk. "Drive and drink instead." Scott had sighed and said nothing more. Logan hadn't slept. It wasn't because he was dealing with anything particular he just didn't feel like sleeping. He could really use some food. A steak or a burger would do fine, he wondered if Scott had taken the car or the motorcycle and if he perhaps could 'lend' the one or the other depending on which one he'd taken.

He knew that Remy wasn't french but if they spoke french then by god they were french. He spoke some himself but that was more collateral damage of his life than anything.

((umm… paranoiid at the risk of sounding mean, ur post was a little choppy…. I’m not saying anyone’s perfect but try and make it a little clearer next time please…))

Remy was glade Rogue answered the door; he’d missed really had missed her and it was good seeing her again. “I take it you missed me Cher?” he joked as she pulled him inside. He laughed at her folding her arms in an angrily mood thinking to himself ‘now here’s the Rogue I remember…’

He turned to Logan and his remark, “If I da French, I guess dat make you da Allies? I hadn’t realized Canada was in the War” Remy smiled, “But then again History never was my strong suit…” he struggled, and after the whole ‘drink and drive’ thing turned back to Rogue. “Mon Dieu! Dis place never changes…” he rolled his eyes, “Except you Cher,” he paused “You look Beautiful,” and smiled in his Charming way.

((History lesion; The Canadians were in WWII but like I said Gambit isn’t good at history))

Seren Evans left the airport, her suitcases in the trunk of the taxi in which she was riding and her backpack cluthed in her thin hands as she gazed out the window at nothing in particular. She had traveled all night from her home in Cardiff, Wales after her powers had begun to multiply and grow even more unstable than before. After the visit from the kind man from Xavier's School for Gifted Students, Seren had become curious about what could be in store for her.

There are others like me, somewhere, she thought to herself as she remembered the day Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey had come to her family's home.

"Is there something wrong with my daughter?" Llyr Evans had asked. Llyr was Seren's father and loved her very much, but lately - due to flying furniture, accidental teleporting, and the garage catching on fire - he had started to worry about the welfare of his daughter and the safety of those around her.

The professor had smiled assuringly. "Trust me, Mister Evans, there is nothing wrong with your daughter. She is just a very special young woman. Her genes are . . . a bit more evolved than most other individuals, giving her these extraordinary gifts."

"Yeah," Seren had said skeptically. "Some gifts, mate."

Her stepmother, Genevieve, had glanced over at her in a scolding manner before explaining, "Her . . . 'gifts', as you call them, have been pretty dangerous so far. Luckily, no one has been hurt, but they could have been."

"That's understandable," Jean had replied. "Her powers are unstable right now, but that's what our school is all about. We teach young people how to control their powers and use them wisely. Seren is more than welcome to come to our school in America."

That was almost a month ago. Two weeks after they had extended the invitation, Seren started shooting ice from one hand and fire from the other. It was too difficult for her to control, and the next thing she knew, she and her family were stuck inside their house for almost an entire week. Afraid for worse to happen, Seren packed her bags and set off for America.

"I really hope this works," she muttered as the taxi passed a sign that read: XAVIER'S SCHOOL FOR GIFTED STUDENTS 10 MILES.

Rogue turned and looked at Wolverine and listened to his comment. She rolled her eyes a little and tried to ignore it. She never did care for all their little comments that went back and forth. She noted the beer in his hand, not approving completely of that either. 'At least hes at home and not-' Before she could finish the thought, he was telling Scott he should take the beer and drive. Again, she rolled her eyes then shook her head. "Bye Scott." She said as he left then glanced to Wolverine. When Gambit started to speak again, she looked to him then away. "Shut up." she tried to play it off as if she didn't want to hear his sweet little comments. The small blush on her cheeks gave her away. "I bet you haven't eaten, have ya?" she asked, looking back to Gambit. "I can cook us up somethin quick." she offered, looking over to Wolverine, since the offer applied to him too.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that Remy never came around unless he needed something. She hated to be so cruel to outright ask him but it was something that needed to be done. "Wait....What brings you back?" she asked, her eyes holding a sad glaze to them as she looked to Remy. "Why'd you come home? Its never a social visit. What's goin on, Remy?"

A black van raced along the road, and slid in front of Seren… “You Idiot!” Belle slapped the driver “You almost killed her!”
Then opened the car door, “Hurry Mes ami, Da Mansion is under attack!” Belle grabbed her arm, “La Professor told me to find you, before he dose!” she smiled on the inside. “Hurry no time to loss, get in the van…”

Belle’s plain was already in motion, and she had already planted the seeds to turn Seren agent Remy. ‘Dat will teach him to leave me!’ her head screamed. There was one man driving, and he knew if the girl did not come willing then they would use force.

“We Mal-pris! We need to go now, I will protected you until the coast is clear.” she amazed herself at how innocent she sounded. If she only knew who she was, Bella Donna Boudreaux the Princess of the Assassin Guild and trained in combat since she could walk, and this girls *ex* Sister in-law. “Hurry My friend, we can't waste any time!”

Seren was too shocked to resist as Belle Donna pulled her toward the black van. The mansion was under attack? She let Belle Donna take her to the van, hoping she was doing the right thing. "What's going on? Why is the mansion under attack?" she asked Belle, climbing into the van. "Is everyone okay?"

She peered out the window, searching for any sign of danger in the distance. As far as she could tell, nothing was happening out there. "It doesn't look like the mansion is under attack. Miss . . . ?"

“Personal and Family…” Remy smiled; “First off, I truly have missed you Cher…” he smiled charmingly at Rogue. Then began to explain what he found in Jean-Luc’s position. He pulled out the two folders out of his coat and showed them. “The name is blanked, unfortunately but I have a bleak description of who she is.” He placed them back inside his coat, “Now Cher I’ll take you up on that meal, now…” he smiled, “If it’s still open?”

Belle, smiled as the driver again raced away from the mansion, seeing little and little of it un till she finery said “Look again; Petite…” that was the signal for her men to move into place, launching a full scale attack on the Mansion. “LeBeau is behind dis Petite, He wants to use your powers for evil.” ‘dis is brilliant…’ she thought ‘I’ll take away Remy’s only sibling away like he did mine!’ “Don’t worry Petite, we have a safe haven you can stay.” She confronted her, “you will be safe, in Louisiana…” The Driver didn’t stop, they would drive the entire way. He knew if he stopped for anything Belle would have his head.

Seren glanced behind them and watched as the mansion was attacked from all sides. "LeBeau? Who is LeBeau?" She turned and looked at Belle as the woman explained how the man wanted to use Seren's powers for evil. "Why would he do that? He doesn't even know me . . . does he?"

She stared out the window, trying to stay calm as things were processing through her head. "Someone's after me?" She wrung her hands together nervously, not sure of what to do. "Ma'am, what's so special about me that LeBeau would be so intent to use my powers for evil?" Seren never turned away from the window; she had no idea what was going on anymore.

Was fast asleep in his bed when the attack began. He woke up slowly, hearing weird sounds and screaming. He sighed, patting his head to make the bed hair go away. Though he had little bed hair since his black hair wasn't that long. But what did happen though, was a huge static discharge when he touched his head.

"What the hell is going on now?"

He hopped out of bed, and walked towards his bedroom door, and put his ear against it and listened for anything. "If it's those kids again I swear.."

--how the hell did I get double!!--

“Guess Breakfast is going to have to wait, Cherie…” he smiled hearing the Assassins’ ‘they may be trained killers,’ he thought, ‘but they no Thief...’ then smiled, “Looks like I was followed...” he shrugged then muttered “not that they needed to” he opened the door again, “Little too much for an Attack!” he pulled out his cards, “more like a full scale invasion,” then flung five cards to the fount of the group. “Five down ‘bout a hundred to go...” then pulled out his bo-staff and lunged to the Attackers, ‘they never leave me alone!’ he thought in his head.

((Tired, so sorry if this is crap... not really thinking stright!))

Belle squinted her noise thinking about what she just said, “Maybe ‘evil’ is a little strong…” she sighed, “But let me put it this way, LeBeau, is looking for you, and his reasons aren’t to clear.” She turned back in her seat, and muttered “not that it really matters why…”
The driver looked at her as if to say, “What are you say?”
But Belle quickly shouted back, “Look at the road!” then paused, “do you think they got distracted? They were supposed to be here by now…” she pointed to a tree then that they passed.

The Assassins’ were only supposed to deliver a note, which read “you took something from me, and so I have taken something from you… Her life hangs on a thread that you decide on the fait off, ~Belle”

She turned back to Seren, “do you ‘need’ to know anything else?” she asked a little pissed of at the questions.

((Blah blah... excuses Keith! not cool Boo-Boo!!!))

Rogue listened to Remy and scanned over the files he handed her, though it was a quick scan. It was a little difficult to believe him sometimes, but it was pretty legitimate. Suddenly, Remy was running out the door saying someone had fallowed him. She gave a light sigh then ran outside behind him. She pulled off her gloves, ready to touch anyone who got close enough to her. Before she knew it though, they were all leaving.

Rogue was a little surprised but shrugged it off, not exactly complaining. She glanced over at Remy then noticed a piece of paper on the ground. She walked over and picked it up. After reading it, she took a deep breath. "Remy." she called then walked over to him. Carefully, she handed the paper to him. As soon as he took it, she put her gloves back on. "This isn't good, Remy."

Walked out of his room pissed off to why exactly he was waken up in such a way. He stepped to the front door and saw some.. Guy, and that one chick. What was her name again? Something like, Rough, or Rome, or something. She was pretty and all, but he was to hungry to think about that. He scratched his stomach, and walked over to the fridge ignoring everyone he passed by, and took a beer from the fridge. "What time is it?" He didn't bother to look at the clock, and opened it taking a sip and slowly walked back to his room.

Whatever happened, he'd find out about it later, he didn't exactly got off on the right start with everyone. He had only been at the school for about.... 4 days. He didn't really know anyone, and the only part of the mansion that he knew, was the way from his room, to the kitchen, living room, front door, and bathroom. That's all he really saw he needed to be. He hadn't even seen the head teacher, or whatever once, and that was his first day. He sat on his bed looking up to the ceiling sipping his beer. Once bored, he turned on his xbox and slouched against the wall beginning to play. Some people passed by his door, wondering who he was, but he ignored them. What annoyed him most of all was when they talked about his black lightning scars on his arm. "That's none of your business.." He retorted and they left promptly.

Seren turned to look as Belle, cringing slightly at the annoyed tone in her voice. "No. I'm sorry for all the questions, but . . . this whole 'powers' thing is new to me, and now someone wants to get at me to have control over those powers."

She turned back to the window, hoping to ignore Belle for the rest of the trip. She owed Belle her life for saving Seren before she arrived at Mansion under attack, but she seemed quite rude and mean. Seren rubbed her arm, a comforting gesture she had always done when she was nervous. Unbeknownst to her, her skin was beginning to change color to a lime green.

((srry I didn't post last weekend I was away for Easter, again srry))

“Oui Cher” Remy said tucking the note in the pocket of his coat. He knew it was bound to happen he just didn’t think it would so soon. “And if I know Bel she’ll use this one event as an advantage for the rest of the Assassins’ plains,” he sighed thinking to himself what the right course of action was, if he ran after them now Bel might just cut her losses and dump his sister at the nearest motel. But then again, she might make it a trap instead. “Well Rogue no use in trying to piece everything together now, how ‘bout that breakfast now?” he smiled charmingly,

(ok, this is my second character post. I wanted to put him in earlier, but I forgot to. Hopefully this will move things along.. ^^ Hope ya'll don't mind.)

Able was looking at a ruggadized laptop in the black hawk, that was flying high above. Able had been tracking 'frenchy' (Belle) since she left Louisiana. the Army had been curious to her activity, since she showed up on their images a few weeks back. There had been strong signs that she had possible links with 'The Brotherhood' which was the primary target for the task force. Able listened to his radio as he listened to chatter, between the ground units, and 'Empire' (headquarters). He turned to look out on the city, as they passed by from under him.

"Empire, this is Claw 3-1... We are one click away from 'Frenchy's' position." He nodded to the call back, and looked back into his laptop. He shut and looked at the 4 other men in the chopper who all nodded.

They adjusted in their seats and got ready for what was to come. Moments later the black van that 'Frenchy' and Belle was in speeding away. Able looked down through a scope, and cursed seeing Belle inside.

"Empire, Claw 3-1. We have an extra person in the cab, she looks about the age of 18. Advising all units to take careful aim. Skin color..... Green." He had to pause for a moment, as that registered in his head. "Hair color black, height about 5 foot 6 inches. Take the targets alive, total of 3." He listened as all the units responded back, and the helicopter lowered it's altitude. Able was sitting on one knee, facing the car the other men with their weapons at the ready. 2 black SUV's would pull up at high speeds, behind the van, loaded with several more special task force soldiers.

"Sir, that girl with the green skin. We watched her get picked up in front of the mansion. She probably has no idea what's going on. Looked more like a kidnapping than a pick up." A soldier in a van stated to Able.

"Alright. Don't harm the green girl, call sign is 'Midori'." He listened to all respond back, and turned to the van. The Black Hawk flying ahead had a large 'Army' paint job near the tail of the helicopter. It was on now.

((Finery I got a post!!! that isn't crap XD))

Belle looked back at Seren and nearly caused the driver to swerve of the road. “What the hell did you do to your skin?” she asked, but before she could answer the driver said, “Helicopters”
“Is it my father?” she asked, then looked in to the side mirror, “Damn it!” She yelled then turned to the driver “Loss them!”
“With pleasure!” he said and drove faster getting on a highway heading south.
“Good now,” she smirked “How did they find us?” she asked pushing him out the door, and yelling “Traitor!” then took the wheel. She put her hand out of the window and blasted the helicopter not seeing if she missed or not.
Then looked at Seren in the Mirror, “Stay calm petite, it no reason to over react.”

When Belle shouted at her, she glanced down at her arms and screamed when she realized her skin color change. "I don't know! This has never happened to me before!" She started scratching at her skin as she freaked out at the newly developed power. Seren was nearly thrown against the side of the car as Belle shoved out the driver out the car and took the wheel.

"Stay calm, petite, it no reason to over react."

Stay calm? For Christ's sake, they were getting chased by someone in a helicopter. Seren was beginning to wonder if this person was a savior or a kidnapper as she drove crazily down the road.

Able cursed as the helicopter jolted and flew in an off pattern away from the vehicle. the pilot managed to gain control again, but kept it's distance from the van this time. Able looked down, as an SUV swerved to dodge the man that thrown out.

"Claw 3-2, beware of 'Frenchy', she's got what I'm gonna say is a pulsating power. It can turn your vehicle over comply..."
"Claw 3-2 copies. We'll be careful.."

The SUV moved up behind the van and slammed into the side, to try and force it to spin out. The helicopter watched above in the air, wiht the side hatch doors open. It was easy to tell, by the way they were dressed in full camouflage equipment and military grade weapons. That they were military, the helicopter even said 'Army' on it. the black bullet proof SUV's were as well a dead givre away as well. A soldier in the closest van, opened up a top hatch, and poked his head out looking at the two in the van. He then exposed his upper body, and drew his weapon aiming for the tires.

"'Sparkles' watch for 'Midori' we don't know if she's an enemy combatant yet. Just take out the tires. 'Buttons' will assist."

The man that Able called 'Buttons' stepped up beside him wielding some compact sniper rifle of some sort, and looked through the scope aiming for the tires.

Seren was knocked to the floor as the SUV knocked into Belle's vehicle. "What's going on?" she cried out. She glanced out the window and saw the ARMY helicopter, with all the men dressed in camouflage. She knew either the government wanted to make mutants extinct . . . or Belle was no good guy.

She turned back to the SUV, where a soldier stood up and aimed his gun at the car.

"Oh, my God! What do I do?" Seren cried as she ducked down on the floor of the car.

“Forget dis! It’s just isn’t worth my trouble!” She said noticing the military surrounding them and blasted throw the open car window. Then swirled into a tree, “You can either come with me or with em but they don’t seem too happy, to see either one of us petit.” She said and started out of the car, then remembering herself, opened the back door and grabbed Seren, and started running away, blasting the Army vans over. “Come on, lets get our of her!” she said too pissed to really explain, “If you have anything that can help go a head.”
