MJK: No Kaylee is not a love interest I just needed someone new to annoy our sweet little thief.

Chapter 8 Rescue

Kaylee was talking to Kitty and Jubilee in the rec room they quickly looked to the stairs when they saw Beast rush down heading for the kitchen, frowning the girls shrugged and went to the kitchen to get a snack.

Logan and Storm passed them in the hall and rushed upstairs, "Okay, why is everybody in such a hurry today?" Jubilee huffed as she rested her hands on her hips. Entering the kitchen they saw Beast filling a few bags with ice.

"Um Dr.McCoy what are you doing?" Kaylee asked with a smirk.

"Oh Kaylee would you be so kind as to bring this to Storm upstairs, Boy's wing room number seven?" He asked with a smile. Kitty and Jubilee frowned and looked at each other, knowing that was Gambit's old room. Kaylee shrugged as she took the bags and did what the blue furry doctor asked. While Hank went to med-lab.

Storm was sitting quietly on a chair in the dark room, watching over Remy as he was having a hard time sleeping at the moment, watching as he punched the pillows and tried to get comfortable, he seemed like he was in pain. Kaylee knocked on the door and slowly opened it peeking in the room, "Hank asked me to bring this up…" she whispered and looked to the bed, where Remy moved around his hand at his forehead groaning out, as he turned on his left side, "What's wrong with him?" she asked listening to Remy as he started to take quick breaths.

"Not now Kaylee…" Storm whispered taking the bags of ice and setting them beside Remy's head then sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard she gently ran her hands through Remy's hair in trying to calm him a bit.

Kaylee looked on a bit worried, then jumped when Logan touched her arm, "Hey squirt you shouldn't be in here…" Logan whispered as he shooed her out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"What happened to him?" she asked staring at Logan refusing to leave the hall until she received an answer.

"He's not feeling too good…" seeing that she wasn't buying that excuse Logan sighed, "Remy's an empath…a couple months ago his shields collapsed, he's still trying to keep them up…"

"Is that why he's here?" Logan shook his head no, Kaylee's eyes widened a bit, "He looked fine yesterday…sort of."

"Look it's hard to explain okay…Remy's had a hard life…ever since he was a kid…"

"Is that how he got so sick?"

"That's part of it…but mostly we…had a hand in what he's going through now…" he whispered.

"We…What do you mean?"

"It happened before ya came here squirt it's a long sad story girl…if ya really want ta know ask Chuck next time your in a session okay?" he answered then entered Remy's room, "How's he doing 'Ro?" He whispered approaching the bed and sitting at the end. Storm slowly shook her head as she leaned down and kissed Remy on the forehead hugging him gently, "Hank went ta get a sedative should be here any minute…"

Storm held him tightly resting her chin on his shoulder as he began to shiver. His eyes snapped open as he looked around, "C-col-d…" he whispered.

"I know Remy…you have a very high fever…" Storm whispered as she pulled on the blanket to cover him more, Logan went to the closet to retrieve another one and laid them on the two. Storm rubbed at his arms to try and get him to warm up faster.

Kaylee sat in the hall facing the door more like staring at it, thanks to her mutant powers she could hear every word in the room, having extremely good hearing she had come to the institute because she suddenly could hear every conversation for the next twelve blocks from the school she used to go to.

"Kaylee?" Hank approached the girl and frowned when she looked up, "What did you hear?" he asked.

Kaylee only shrugged, "Apparently Remy's cold…"

Hank sighed, "Don't you have homework to do?" Kaylee huffed as she stood and left the hall.

Hank shook his head as she had always been curious when she had first arrived, entering Remy's room, Hank approached the bed and checked Remy's temperature and vitals, digging into his bag he took out a syringe, and the vial with the sedative, measured an amount and cleaned Remy's arm with a little alcohol. All the while Remy glared at the doctor as he took quick breaths. "Watch it Hank he's got that look in his eyes…" Logan chuckled softly.

"It's only a sedative Remy it will help you sleep…" Hank whispered in a calm voice, Remy closed his eyes and looked away as Hank injected him. Covering him up again, Hank sighed as he sat in a chair waiting until he heard slow deep breaths coming from Remy.

Henri was furious as he stared out of the window, 'If they hurt him…' he growled, 'Why would Remy go back dere?'

"Henri?" One of his men spoke up and sighed when he didn't get his attention, "Henri…" he reached over and shook the man's arm, Henri jumped and looked at him. "Were landing in ten minutes…ya alright?" Vincent asked.

"I will be when we find mon frère…"

"So where we headin'?"

"The institude of gifted youngsters, in Westchester…"

"How we goin' in?"

"Dey got a few telepaths…so they'll know when we're comin'…"

"Is dere a way we can surround dem?" another asked.

"Non dey got a pretty good defense system…wit it's own power source…"

"So I hack into it…" Lapin chirped.

"Ya tink they'll allow a few visitors?" a woman with blue hair asked. "I can say I heard of the place and wanted to check it out or some lame story."

Henri looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock, looking back to Jasmine. "Make a call when we land try ta sound desperate like you really need their help or some shit, Allain, François go with her, Jasmine gonna be a little shy…" Henri smirked. "One more thing keep ya minds clear of anything concerning the guild, try ta mask ya accent as well…"

The very large group stepped off the plane, meeting at a hotel room, Henri gave off his orders as Lapin pulled out files on all of Xavier's students with pictures and information on their powers as well as detailed schematics of Xavier's mansion and the grounds, the entire group studied them well marking out little weak spots and escape routes as well as memorizing the students powers and thought of ways in trying to deal with them. They had less than an hour, until they surprised Xavier with a little visit.

Jasmine entered the room a smirk on her face, "I'm to meet them at five sharp with my two big brothers…" she smirked as she wrapped her arms around François' neck, "My powers went crazy…I'm a scared little mutant…" she chuckled.

"Alright we got half an hour everybody get ready…" Henri spoke out and watched as they left the room, Lapin had hacked into a power company, sighing he whistled a little tune, "What ya doin' Lapin?" Henri asked as he attached his tools, small explosives, daggers and such on his person.

"Oh nothin' much just givin' us a little advantage, havin da power company cut out da power, when we get there…" Lapin grinned then looked to Henri with a goofy smile, "This is fun…So how do we find Remy?"

"That's your job…go with Vincent…try and make it quick…"

Lapin smirked and gave a mock salute, "Oui mon capitaine…it shall be done…"

Henri shook his head, "Oh shut-up…"

Remy's eyes fluttered as he dreamed, Storm still lay beside him, "Hoping he's having sweet dreams?" Logan smirked as he stretched in his chair. Storm gave a small smile as she rested her hand on his forehead.

"Fever seems to have gone down a bit…" she whispered kissing his cheek.

"Wonder if Chuck was able to contact his pops?"

"I can't imagine how furious he will be when he finds out that Remy is here…"

"Yeah no kidding…" Logan had received a thought from Xavier asking him to come to his office, "Well Chuck wants a talk or something I'll come back a little later to give you a break okay?"

Storm gave him a small smile as she nodded her head.

Scott was in the living room with Bobby, Rogue and Jubilee. Hearing the doorbell ring Scott stood up to answer the door he smiled as he looked at the three. A girl about his age with blue hair was hiding behind two guys. "You must be Jasmine…" She looked at him for a moment then looked back down, "Come in…" Scott motioned for them to enter. Looking around Scott led them to the rec room and introduced them to Bobby, Jubes and Rogue they all smiled at the three. "The Professor should be down here in a couple minutes."

Rogue smiled, "You don't have to be shy, around here we fight like cats and dogs and yell at each other most of the time…"

Jasmine laughed softly, wanting so much to hit the bitch, she was hoping to meet her which is why she wore thin gloves and a body suit beneath her clothes. Leaning up to François she whispered something in his ear, he chuckled and leaned forward. Allain sat on the arm of the couch and eyed Scott over, "So where are you all from?" Bobby asked with a smirk.

"California…" Allain answered still staring at Scott.

Rogue looked at the man awkwardly, "Why do you keep staring at Scott?"

Allain looked at her. "Just waiting…" he smirked the moment he said that the power went out, Allain lunged for Scott, François punched Bobby in the face knocking him to the ground then kicked Jubilee's legs from under her, Jasmine went after Rogue ramming her to the ground, Rogue rolled and got to her feet Jasmine spun kicked hitting her on the side of the head making her fly across the room, the three thieves heard the door crash as Lapin and Vincent rushed upstairs. Allain actually grinned as he punched Scott again, A dozen students rushed in the hall ready to attack seeing this Allain smirked and grabbed Scott who was about to fire a blast when he found a very sharp knife at his throat, "STOP…ONE MORE STEP AND I SLIT HIS THROAT…" Allain growled pushing on the knife enough to leave a trickle of blood, all the mutants froze then ducked to the ground as an explosion was felt more then heard, Jasmine chuckled as she kicked Bobby in the ribs none too gently.

Scott grimaced as he spoke, "Who are you what do you want?"

"Ya wanna know who we are…hehe I'll tell ya…ya little bastard…Ya actually tink da Guild gonna allow ya ta treat one of it's own da way ya'll did?" he hissed pulling the knife closer to Scott's throat. "Where's Remy…" he growled.

"What…in New Orleans with his family…" Scott seethed.

"Wrong asshole…" Jasmine hissed.

Henri and the others rushed into the house and started fighting with the other students.

Storm gave him a small smile as she nodded her head. Fifteen minutes later she heard an explosion clutching to Remy she made her way to the window and noticed parts of the mansion were on fire, opening the window she flew out and summoned the rains to fall.

Remy slowly opened his eyes and flinched as he sensed everyone's hate and anger, the pain was too much for him to bare, falling to the floor Remy tried to control his breathing, grabbed his coat put on his boots and got the hell out of there.

Logan rushed downstairs only to see the students fighting with two dozen intruders, "What the hell?" he growled grabbing a few of the intruders and threw them off Kaylee and Jamie, he froze when he spotted Henri.

"WHERE'S MY BROTHER?" Henri growled.

"STOP THE FIGHT…" Logan growled in turn. Then ducked his head as the mansion rocked again from the force of another explosion.

Henri grinned as he was about to yell out a command, but was cut off as Jean-Luc yelled out, "ALL OF YA STAND DOWN!" All the thieves backed off but stayed on the defensive. Jean-Luc's eyes narrowed as he stared down at his son, then glared at Logan, "Where's my boy…" he spoke through clenched teeth.

"He's upstairs…" Logan sighed.

"No he ain't…" they heard, everyone turned to Lapin and Vincent, "We checked every fucken room…no Remy…" he seethed. The LeBeau's glared at Logan.

Charles came forward, "He was here Jean-Luc but he fled as his mind couldn't take all the chaos he felt…" Jean-Luc breathed heavily as he tried to think. Then all the arguing started with the X-men and the Thieves.

"QUIET…ALL OF YA…" Jean-Luc yelled evoking silence from everyone, Logan actually stepped back at the sound of the man's voice. "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN…how dis all started all I know is that Remy's missin'…" Jean-Luc turned to Henri "Start a search for him…NOW…call Justin if ya have to…do whatever it takes…find your brother…" he ordered. Henri nodded and ordered the men to search throughout the city.

Sensing his fear over Remy, Xavier approached Jean-Luc. "Let us help you…" Jean-Luc looked at Xavier for what seemed like the longest time and nodded following the telepath down the floors below all the way to Cerebro.

Rogue stood up on shaky legs rubbing the side of her head, "What a bitch…ow…" then looked to Logan, "You mean Remy was here…how come we weren't told?"

"He wants nothing ta do with any of you remember…" Logan answered.

"But why come back?" Scott asked wiping the blood from his throat.

"To clean up the mess Henri and Bugs did…to try and prevent what just happened, even if Remy hadn't come here this would have still happened…" he growled, "We would have found a way to fix all your school records and gotten rid of the warrants, but no ya'll just had to push and get everyone pissed even more...Remy told me about how ya'll threatened to get even…" Logan held up his hands, passing by Storm and went outside amazed at how much damage the mansion had suffered.

Kaylee looked around. "Okay what the hell just happened?"

"Not now Kaylee…" the others groaned out as they fanned out to see if anyone was hurt.

After ten minutes on Cerebro Charles had Remy's location, "He's in a great deal of pain…we must hurry…" calling out to Logan and Hank. Xavier led Jean-Luc to the garage, Lapin, Henri and Jacques followed in another car.

Remy sat on top off the roof of a dance club listening to the music as he stared at the people walking below, rocking back and forth in trying to regain control and push out everything in his head.

Suddenly having a bad feeling, Remy struggled to get on his feet and headed for the fire escape. Slowly climbing down Remy walked down the alley and looked around the street, feeling like having some peace and quiet Remy walked to the nearby park and sat on the bench near the fountain, closing his eyes he rested his head on his hands and concentrated on the sound of the water to try and clear his head.

Rushing out of the van Jean-Luc looked to Charles, "Okay…so where is he?"

Charles frowned and closed his eyes, Logan sniffed around, "He passed through here recently, this way…come on."

Following the feral Jean-Luc breathed a sigh of relief when he spotted Remy. As he approached he noticed him cringe and breathe heavily, Logan looked around and spotted a few people arguing.

Remy tried to push out the emotions he felt but he was too tired he didn't have the energy, tears streamed down his cheeks the pain was too much.

"Get rid of them…" Jean-Luc looked to Jacques who nodded and rushed off. "Remy?" Jean-Luc knelt down in front of his son.

"I ca-n't get it t-oo sto-p…" Remy groaned out.

"It's alright petite…" Jean-Luc looked to Jacques who was walking back to them and gave a small nod to his brother in law meaning the problem was dealt with. Jean-Luc then sat beside Remy and wrapped his arms around his son trying to think of happy thoughts, "Try ta focus on some good memories, like da time you and Lapin drove Henri's car in da neighbors pool…"

"I wouldn't call dat a good memory père…" Henri pouted.

Xavier gave a small smile as he wheeled himself beside Remy and laid a hand at the back of the thief's head closed his eyes and concentrated.

"Let me guess first driving lesson?" Logan looked to Henri with a smirk.

Henri glared at the feral, Lapin snickered behind them desperately trying to stop laughing, "We was eight…" Jacques laid a hand on Lapin's shoulder giving him a warning glare, taking the hint Lapin kept quiet. Hank kneeled in front of Remy assessing his symptoms, he was still a bit pale, he was covered in sweat and shivering terribly.

"When was the last time ya had your medication?" Jean-Luc whispered in Remy's ear.

"Uh…can't rem-ember…" Remy breathed trying to keep his eyes open, as he felt the pain in his head lessen a bit.

"A little after five…" Logan spoke up.

Jean-Luc looked at his watch, "It's almost six…drugs should have…"

"In the morning…" Logan specified.

Jean-Luc looked at him with wide eyes, "Are ya kidding me?"

"I couldn't give him anything…he had a fever of a hundred and five…" Hank checked Remy's vitals, "His pulse is extremely fast." Hank looked through his bag, Remy suddenly seemed to calm and closed his eyes. Hank immediately looked up.

Charles gave a small smile as he opened his eyes. "He should be alright for now…"

Looking as if he was about to pass out, Jean-Luc looked to Jacques who quickly took the hint and dialed the number for a nearby hotel, Henri kneeled down in front of his brother, "Ey don't pass out now, unless ya want ta be carried?" Henri smirked, while Remy glared.

Ten minutes later Remy was sleeping comfortably on a bed Jean-Luc had just gotten off the phone as he looked to Henri "Ya call off the men?" he asked.

"Yeah they're at the hotel."

Jean-Luc then looked to Xavier and sighed, "So how much of a home ya got left?"

"It's still up the damage can be repaired…"

Jean-Luc chuckled, Hank quirked an eyebrow "You find something amusing in this?"

"We may not take lives like the Assassins but there's always a better way than ta kill someone and ta make them suffer…you should all know as you've just went through it…consider yourselves lucky all you lost was your possessions…" he smirked as he walked over to Remy and sat on the bed, watching as he breathed.As the X-men were about to leave Jean-Luc spoke up, "Thank-you…for finding Remy…I'm grateful…"

Charles bowed his head, "Your welcome…" and left.

Logan turned to Henri, "I'll come drop off his stuff later if that's alright…"

Henri nodded and closed the door.

Charles sighed as they arrived at the mansion, "Where to begin…" he asked himself and was greeted by his students.

"So what happened…Professor were not gonna let them get away with this right?" Kurt's eyes went wide when the Professor nodded his head and gave a small smile.

"Are you kidding they just destroyed the mansion." Bobby huffed.

"Where not going to retaliate?" Scott asked crossing his arms.

"No we are not this dispute has to stop and it will start with us…they just came to protect one of their own…something we should have done in the first place before all this started but didn't…"

"But Professor…this was our home…" Rogue spoke up.

Charles quirked an eyebrow, "No it isn't…if you've forgotten you and a few others have eighteen months left in school then you must leave, I still can't forgive what you've done, not yet…the only way I would ever allow you on these premises again is if you've lost control of your powers…" Some of the students began to protest, but Charles raised his hand ending the discussion.

Kaylee couldn't believe what she had just heard this sweet, generous man was kicking out his students she then looked to Rogue in awe, "What did you do?"

Rogue wrapped her arms around herself and looked at the girl, "I left Remy to die in Antarctica…" she whispered then turned and went into the mansion.

"Why the hell would you do that?" she asked but Rogue didn't turn.

Logan sighed, "C'mon squirt…it's a long story so pay attention…" Logan led her back into the mansion as he told her about Remy's little adventure.

A few hours later Logan knocked on the door with Storm by his side, Lapin opened it with a jerk, and looked at them a little confused, "Came ta drop off Gumbo's stuff…" Logan drawled.

Storm smiled, "Is it alright if we say goodbye?" Lapin looked in the room for Jean-Luc's permission.

Jean-Luc looked to Remy and nodded his head, Lapin opened the door more to let the two X-men in the room.

Remy was lying on the bed wide awake looking at everyone in the room, Jacques was on the phone, making sure the Guild members were all set to go back home, while Jean-Luc was confirming their flight.

"Hey pup…how ya feeling?" Logan smirked as he put Remy's things on the nearby table.

Remy smirked, "Tired…"

Storm smiled, as she bent down and kissed his cheek, "I shall miss you…" she whispered and hugged him.

"Sorry ta cut da visit short but da plane leaves in thirty minutes…" Jean-Luc looked to Logan.

Remy sighed as he slowly stood up, hugging Storm again, "See ya Stormy…" he whispered.

Logan grasped his arm, "Get better pup…" Remy nodded and left with the others.

Sitting on the plane his father beside him, Remy sighed as he made himself comfortable, Jean-Luc chuckled as he opened his eyes, Remy looked at him curiously, "Ya know…I understand why ya went back, ya wanted ta stop da fighting…but there's one thing ya forgot petite…" He looked at Remy, "…and I'm afraid ta say that you'll have ta face it on ya own cause as much as I love ya petite, there is no power on dis here earth that's gonna stop Tante from wreaking havoc on your behind, I swear I feel bad for ya…" Jean-Luc grasped Remy's arm in sympathy and smiled as Remy started to laugh.

Henri grinned as he heard Remy laugh knowing very well that his little brother would be alright.

The End…
