Learning to Trust again 4

After finding out that Shane and the others were in a meeting with the Professor, Dan waited outside of the Professor's study, leaning against the wall opposite the door when the front door burst open to reveal a dark lady with white hair calling out, "Anyone home?" Dan smiled as he heard some rushing feet and someone calling out, "Ororo welcome home my dear. How did your trip go?"

Ororo Munroe glance about with a slight frown she ignored his questions and asked, "Where is my brother Hank?"

Running a hand through his blue fur as he replied, "I'm unsure where he is my dear, I have been looking for him myself, he was meant to come and see me but I'm not surprised that he ducked out of it."

Storm nodded as she looked about again surprised that none of the others had come to greet her looking back at Hank she asked, "Where are the others?"

Licking his lips Hank was unsure what to tell her when he was saved by Professor's study door opening and Jean saying, "I thought I heard voices out here. Welcome home Storm."

Storm rushed forward and hugged her friend saying, "It's good to be home again, I have missed everyone."

From the door way Logan and Scott watch the reunion before joining the woman and adding their own welcomes.

Shane spotted Dan making his way over to him and asked, "How did it go?"

With his eyes lowered towards the floor Dan told him, "I nearly had him but he ran off when I asked him what was done to him, he's really freaking sir." Dan paused to lick his lips before saying, "I was informed that maybe Logan would be able to get Remy to talk first."

Shane looked thoughtfully as he slowly nodded and said, "You just might be right. I think Logan and Scott may be more of a help than anyone else. Logan more so than Scott, I sense he has deeper feelings for Remy."

Dan smiled as he said, "He loves him sir."

Bubba looked over at the short man with the pointed hair as he replied, "Yes I know and we may be able to use that to get through to Remy. I'm pretty sure that Remy loves him as well." Bubba looked back at Danny saying, "You go and tell Logan what you told me, I'm guessing that Logan or his brother will know where to find the kid."

With a slight nod Dan said, "Yes sir." Turning on his heels Dan headed towards Logan and Scott.

Bubba watched as Dan pulled Logan and Scott aside and chuckled when Logan took off out of the mansion.

Dan smirked as he watched Logan rush out of the house in search of his friend. Dan made his way back to his master's side saying, "Worked like a charm sir."

Bubba just nodded as he drew his boy into a one armed hug without a word.

Releasing Dan he said, "Now that Logan is dealing with Remy, we need to keep an eye on that girl she gonna cause more trouble, when Frank gets here clue him in what we know about her and Bob and get him or his boy to watch her."

Dan nodded as he said, "Yes sir."

Shane looked over at Matt saying, "Matt I need you and Sam to check out the boat house where they were staying and see what you can find there for me."

Matt replied, "Sure thing I'll check with Scott to see if we can have a look about."

"You may want to take him with you, he knows both of them and can tell you what belongs to who."

Bubba smirked at him saying, "Of cause it is I thought of it."

Shaking his head Matt walked off to talk to Scott about looking about the boathouse.

Pacing his cell Bobby cursed aloud at losing his boy, spinning on his heels saying, "I'm getting you back LeBeau, it's not over by a long shot you're mine."

Hidden in the shadows Rouge watched as Bobby paced his cell creeping closer she whispered, "Bobby sugah."

"Rouge I knew you would come."

"Not much, your boy needs to be taught a lesson in manners. Bobby who are those other men?"

Bobby smirked as he replied, "They were once my friends but they betrayed me."

"So they are siding with Swamp-rat?"

Rouge frowned she wasn't worried about them but the man called Bubba, looking at Bobby she asked, "Tell me about them?"

Bobby frowned as he looked at the only person he consider his friend before saying, "Why?"

"To help you I need to know who ah dealing with, these people are unknowns and I need to know about them before ah can help you sugah."

Looking thoughtfully at his feet as he told her, "You only have to worry about Bubba and his boy the others aren't a threat."

Rouge nodded as she replied, "Thought so. I'll run a check on them and let you know what the plans are to get you out of here.

"Good I'm going crazy without me boy."

Rouge shook her head as she replied, "Have patience's my friend you will be with your toy soon."

Logan hurried to what he called Remy's thinking tree, he felt his heart break when he found Remy rocking back and fourth like a little child, calling out softly, "Remy?"

Lifting his head tiredly off his drawn up knees softly called back, "Cher?"

Logan nearly cried himself when he took in the younger man's appearance he could also smell the tears that Remy had cried moving slowly so not to frighten the younger man he couched in front of Remy asking, "May I join you?"

With a small smile Remy nodded once Logan was sitting beside him Remy crawled into his lap and tucked his head under Logan chin, then wrapping his arms about Logan's waist like he had many times before Bobby had forbidden him from seeing Logan.

Resting his chin on top of Remy's head, moving his hands up and down Remy's back in a smoothing motion he asked carefully, "What going on kid?"

Hoping to lead Logan off track Remy whispered, "Missed this."

"Missed this as well kid but it ain't gonna work, you know I'm not going to give up till ya tell me."

Remy sighed, "Oui, me had to try."

With a chuckle Logan tilted Remy back just enough so he could look into his eyes saying, "You wouldn't be you if you didn't try. Now what got you upset Darlin'."

Knowing that it wasn't worth fighting with Logan, Remy told him, "I'm not sure I ever told you what happened to me before moi pere adopted me, as you know I escaped from Antiquary a man named Gavin Duncan found me I dink I was maybe five or six not sure but he kept me for him and his friends amusement, they did things to me and others. We managed to escaped a couple of times but he always found us somehow, our punishment were really bad. I later found out that Gavin had inserted a tracker in a necklace that he made us wear, the night I got away for good was bad. Gavin had lost a boy to competition, he owned this guy some money and he traded the boy in place of money, he told me that to make more money he needed me to take on Jimmy who has expressed an interested in having me before. . . I hated Jimmy, he liked inflicting pain of the worse kind to whoever he happen to have. I saw what he did to one of the others and knew that he wanted to do dat to me." Remy stopped talking he hoped that he didn't have to go into details he hoped that Logan would be able to figure it out with him saying the words aloud.

With a smoothing and tender caress against Remy's back Logan asked, "What did they do to you Rems?"

Remy sobbed, "Non! Remy can't tell."

Logan gently replied, "I can't help you if you don't tell me."

Remy remained silent hoping the older man wouldn't try and pressure him into talking about his past.

"Remy I know that this is hurting you and I don't what to see these fuckers win."

Confused Remy pulled back asking, "Win? Who wins?"

Locking his eyes onto Remy's Red and black eyes as he replied, "These men are still hurting you to this day by not letting us help you they'll winning, they're still controlling you Darlin'."

Remy lowered his eyes whispering, "Mais it hurts to remember, I don't wanna remember."

With a low moan Logan drew Remy back into his arms saying, "I know it does Darlin' but you're not alone anymore, you have Scott, Jeannie and me to help you through this."

Snuggling deeper into Logan, he felt Logan's arms tighten about him. Remy could feel Logan concern and something he couldn't quite make out flow over him and made up his mind, pulling back so he could look into Logan's eyes as he sobbed, "Gavin gave me to Jimmy and let Jimmy do the one thing he never let anyone else do to me before. Jimmy used many of his so called toys on me that night but the one thing that scared me the most was when he used his hand made bat it was big and wide and torn me to pieces, he didn't prepare me. Gavin held me down while Jimmy forced it into me." Remy broke eye contact and lowered his eyes waiting for to push him away he nearly jumped when he felt Logan arms tighten about him and dropped a kiss on top of his head.

Logan felt like his heart was breaking muttering, "They'll pay for hurting you baby, the bastards will never hurt you ever again."

Surprised Remy asked, "You ain't disgusted with me?"

Not all that surprised that Remy would try to blame himself for other peoples actions Logan smiled as he said, "Not with you Darlin' it ain't yer fault that those sick fuckers hurt you and the others. Remy is that what Bobby did to you?"

Feeling ashamed Remy nodded, "Oui, he said that I'd love what he has planned for me that he knew I liked it before."

"How did he find out?"

"Rouge told him, it one of the memories she got when she kissed me. Bobby told me that she told him everything that happened to me in detail."

"That low down dirty skunk." Logan felt Remy flinch in his arms loosing his grip saying, "We need you to see Blue." Seeing that Remy was going to deny it he quickly said, "I know you're hurting I can smell yer pain." Releasing Remy he got to his feet and held out his hand saying, "Lets go and see Blue."

Slowly getting to his feet he asked, "You stay with me?"

Smiling at him as he said, "Where else would I be?"

Frowning Remy wondered why Logan was acting like he loved him, he had noticed that Logan had called him Darling and baby and he wondered where it was coming from it was unlike the Logan he knew and if he admitted it to himself he liked this softer Wolvie.

Matt walked beside a quite Scott and nearly jumped when Scott asked, "What do you think we'll find?"

Looking thoughtfully at the other man before saying, "A lot of things such as toys from the little I've seen of your brother I'd say whips, ropes, blood and hopefully whatever scared him, you know this reminds me of a case that happened nearly ten years ago, two men were found in a middle of a session with a young man, they used a home made bat as well as their fists on him they were sick bastards they tortured him and would have killed him if the cops hadn't raided the house for a totally different reason they saved that one man and he told them that these two men had admitted to him that they had done the same thing to others and to a child."

Scott quietly asked, "Were you the young man?"

Wide eyed he asked, "How?"

"As a victim of rape myself, I can read the signs in others."

Licking his lips Matt nodded in understanding, "Yeah that was me, they had me for two days did things to me that I still shudder about. At the time I was questioning my sexually when they got me."

"That explains why you hate that scene so much can't say I blame you there, not my scene either. I know that people out there like that sort of thing like Bubba and Dan but people like the men who did that to you and to Rems make me sick."

"Yeah I know. Bubba a great friend and he knows why I hate it and when I go and visit him, he makes sure it's toned down. I don't go to the clubs, if they need me for a case I go to Bubba's place, they don't understand why but they don't question it."

"Matt what happened to the men?"

"They're dead, when they hit the prison population it was leaked as to why they were in there, they got prison justice, it's weird you know you can kill and steal but touch kids and they hurt ya."

Scott nodded and entered the boathouse without a word, he knew that there was nothing he could say that could change what Matt had gone though, he had been there himself and knew that nothing could change what had happen, they were just empty words, all been said before and it changes nothing.

Matt stared at the older man's back as he moved about, smiling slightly knowing that the older man understood and by him not saying any of the pity words that most people tend to say after finding out was his way of saying that he understood.

Moving into the house Matt lett his eyes roam about the living room then said, "I'd say that everything was done upstairs not down here. Bobby didn't what to risk anyone coming to visit just in case he was in the middle of a scene."

Scott spat out, "Don't you mean torture?"

Matt ignored the older man's tone as he made his way towards the stairs saying, "Depends on who you're asking. You and I would say torture, Bubba and Dan would say it was a scene."

From the top of the stairs Bubba replied, "Nope it was torture Matt plain and simple, what Bobby did to Remy was no better than what Gavin and Jimmy did to you."

"What are you doing here Bubba?"

"I decided I needed to see what happened here instead of hearing it second hand and I'm gonna kill that kid."

Sam stepped from behind Bubba Matt frowned when he saw that his friend was on the verge of pasting out called out, "Bubba!"

"Shit, sit down head between your legs." Helping Sam to sit down on the top stair saying, "It's bad real bad, Bobby out of control he nearly killed Remy, shit your brother has to be hurting."

Scott paled as he asked, "What did he do to Rems?"

When they didn't answer Scott raced up the stairs and manged to jump over Sam's form ignoring Bubba who was yelling at him to stop, moving into the room he knew that Remy shared with Bobby stepping over the threshold gasping when his eyes fell onto the blood on the floor falling to his knees Scott eyes fell onto a what looked to be like a baseball bat only longer and wider, it was covered in blood, blood he knew was his brothers, shaking his head he cried, "Why? Why Remy? Hasn't Remy been through enough?"
