Summer of Love 4
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remy entered the TV room with a grin spying Scott and Bobby watching TV, they hadn't noticed that he had entered the room, moving as quietly as he could, he crept further into the room couching with a mischievous grin plastered over his face behind the couch, jumping to his feet he yelled, "Boo."
Remy collapsed on to the ground in laughter at their reactions, both had nearly jumped a foot in the air and yelped.
Scott turned and glared at Remy while Bobby cursed him, "Fuck Gambit what ya trying to do give us a heart attack?"
Remy tried to smother his mirth but he couldn't he was in a great mood and nothing would bring him down.
Scott climbed to his feet saying, "Really Rems I expect that sort of behavior from Bobby."
Remy chuckled as Bobby called out, "Hey! I resent that Slim."
Scott glared down at him, Remy saw Scott's lips twitch and knew that Scott wasn't really mad at him, he could also feel Scott's mirth at the childish prank.
Scott tried to look stern but failed when he looked down at Remy who was still chuckling he hadn't seen Remy this relaxed in awhile and didn't want to ruin it, offering his hand to help Remy off the floor he said, "What did Blue what with you and Logan?"
Taking Scott's hand Remy pulled himself off the floor saying, "That's why I'm here to tell you but not here."
Nodding Scott asked, "Usual place?"
"Oui, give me ten minutes and I'll met you dere."
Scott smiled at the younger man saying, "Sure ten minutes."
Remy turned and headed outside, he needed to collect his thoughts and think of a way to tell Scott that he loved him without sounding like the desperate love sick fool that he was.
Leaning against the railing digging into his pocket for his cigarettes finding them his slid one out of the package, lighting the cigarette with the tip of his finger.

Logan looked over at Xavier asking, "So what are we going to do?"
Looking thoughtful out the window over looking the lake saying, "I'd like you and Jean to go Canada and ask the locals if they remember anything about what happened twenty years ago."
Cocking his head Logan looked over at Charles asking, "When?"
Looking over at the older man saying, "As soon as possible. I'd like to know what happened in that town twenty years ago to Amanda, Remy and you."
Nodding slowly in agreement Logan looked thoughtful as he remember another threat heading their way, forcing his mind back to the conversation he asked, "Ya know that I need to stay here for a while longer?"
Surprised Charles turned around and asked, "Why?"
Logan began to pace as he said, "Yer heard that a guy called Pacer is coming to visit?"
Shocked Charles asked, "Did you say Martin Pacer?"
"Not sure if his name is Martin, why?"
"Funny you should mention him, one of my sources informed me that he was New Orleans along with Creed nearly a week ago."
Frowning Logan asked, "Where in New Orleans?"
"Bourbon Street."
"Wasn't there an unexplained death of a lowlife pimp there just recently?" Logan asked as he run a hand through his thick mane of hair, his blue eyes filled with worry.
"Yes a well known pimp, named Samuel Allan, who was also seen in Pacer's company two days ago. Sammy as he is known on the streets, dealt with kids as young as five to teenagers, as well as drugs, he had the kids selling his drugs and their bodies for him. His stable was cleaned out and burnt to the ground three days after the meeting."
Logan wondered if the pimp was the one who used and sold Remy to others when he was younger, Logan growled, "Good riddance's to that thrash then."
Hank nodded his agreement, when he remembered something Scott had told him, he wasn't sure that Logan or the Professor would like what he was about to ask but felt that it was worth bringing up, asked, "Wasn't Remy found on Bourbon street by Jean-Luc?"
Both Hank and Charles looked over at Logan, when he looked back at them he nodded, "Yeah Rem's was on Bourbon Street and was pimped by some fucker, Remy never tole me what the prick's name was, if it's him, I'd thank the guy who killed him for me, though I would like to have ended his miserable life myself."
Looking thoughtfully Charles went over in his mind the best member of the team to replace Logan, with a slow smile Charles said, "Okay I'll send Jean and Kara. Kara needs some field training, she doesn't need to know everything but she can help Jean with the paperwork."
"Good call, Kara a good kid. Jennie will help her if she gets stuck."

Scott waited at their spot up on the roof he had climbed up the top where it leveled out flat resting on his elbows as he waited for Remy to join him.
Scott smiled when he heard Remy singing as he climbed up to join him, he loved the sound of Remy voice when he sung.
Remy grinned as he sat beside Scott, turning so he faced Scott, he smiled as he said, "Heri got the results back."
Sensing that Remy was little nervous Scott smiled as he jokely asked, "You're not my brother are you?"
Remy leant towards him with a cheeky smile on his face as he slowly reached up and stroked Scott's cheek as he said, "If I was I wouldn't be able to do this now would I?" Before Scott could reply Remy claimed Scott's lips in a toe curling kiss.
With a groan Scott reached up curling his fingers around Remy's neck and deepen the kiss, only pulling back when the need for air was vital for them, resting their foreheads together Scott asked, "Is this what I think it is?"
"Oui, been wanted to do that since I first saw you."
Surprised Scott asked, "We're both idiots Remy."
Confused by Scott's reply, Remy asked, "Why dat?"
Tweaking Remy's nose as he told the younger man, "We've wasted a lot of time beating about the bush when we could have been together, if we knew how we felt about each other."
With a shy smile Remy replied, "But you were with Jeannie when I arrived, so I settled for being your friend."
Shifting closer to Remy, Scott smiled as he said, "I know that but by the time I was free you were with Rouge."
Remy groaned, "Stupid move dat."
Scott wrapped an arm about Remy asked, "So who's gonna kill me for kissing their son?"
Remy looked into the visor that hid Scott's eyes from him saying, "Non, I kissed you first Cher and dat would be Logan Cher."
Tighten his grip Scott grinned as he said, "Then I don't have any worries."
Confused Remy asked, "Why?"
"Because my gorgeous one, he already knows how I feel about you."
In a surprised tone Remy asked, "He does?"
"Yes who do you think I confide in when things got bad?"
"Your best friend."
"Yeah, which happens to be Logan."
Remy chuckled, "It's funny I went to him as well."
"Damn that must have been hard on him." Scott rested his head on Remy's shoulder saying, "We should do something for him, he's been a great friend to the both of us."
"Oui we'll do something for him. Scotty, the Professor wants me to move back to the mansion for awhile. Logan and Chuck wants me close while they sort through my memories of what happened to my mother."
Scott didn't even have to give it a thought he didn't want to be parted from Remy now, "We'll both move back, only question is which room to stay in? Yours or my old room?"
Remy smiled as said, "Mine it's got the bigger bed."
"True, when we move back to the boathouse that bed coming with us."
Laying his head on Scott's shoulder tilting it up so he could look at Scott asking, "So we're doing this Cher?"
Looking into Remy's eyes as he said, "I want to and I know you want to, so I guess we are. It's what you want isn't it?"
"Yes it is. I'm glad Cher, Je t'aime forever Cher."
Scott snuggled into Remy's side saying, "I love you too Remy forever."
Content Remy held Scott while they watched the children playing down by the lake.

"Professor you wished to see us?"
"Yes Jean, please have a seat." Once the two woman were seated Charles looked at them grimly saying, "I have an assignment that needs a delicate touch ladies. What I'm about to tell is to remain in this room and not to be discussed with anyone but the people in this room and Scott and Remy. This mission is a twenty year old mystery that needs to be solved. I need you two to go to Winnipeg Canada and see if anyone remembers a murder that happened to a young lady named Amanda not sure what last name is at the time, she could have been using her stepfather's name which was Matthew Stevens, he was a Canadian Mountie, most like retired by now, or she could have used her mother's maiden name which is Conners, I know she was in a relationship and they had a little boy together but I'm unsure if they were married." Charles glanced over at Logan who was chewing on his cigar wondering if any of the information was jarring his memories.
Jean nodded as she got her feet she wasn't totally sure what was happening but she had a feeling that it had something to do with Remy looking over at Logan she smiled at him before looking back at Charles asking, "How soon do we leave?"
"As soon as possible, I'm sorry that it's short notice but it's important."
Kara nodded as she said, "I'll go and pack some things and met you at the Blackbird Jean."
Nodding Jean waited for the younger woman to leave before asking, "Does this have anything to do with Remy?"
Charles was surprised that Jean guessed that the assignment involved Remy, "Yes, the woman who was murdered was his mother, she was also my daughter but they didn't use my name that why I didn't mention it."
"So Remy your grandson?"
"Yes he is."
Logan who had been quite till that moment said, "Jeannie he's my son, he was there when his mother was killed."
"Oh my god the poor kid. I'm guessing you want this kept quiet for now?"
"Please just for now."
Jean nodded then asked, "Where is Remy?"
Logan smiled as he said, "With Scott."
"Should have guess that, since he did this for him."
"Not just for Scott, he did it to find out who he was." Logan remind her.
"Well I better pack and met Kara."
Logan stood up asking, "Is that all Chuck?"
"For now. Good luck Jean and keep in touch."
"Will do."
Logan walked over to join Jean at the door and headed out, Charles could hear them talking as they headed upstairs.
Looking over at Hank with a tired smiled he asked, "Care to join me in a drink?"
"Don't mind if I do."
