Chapter Two: Mysterious Hero

By the time they had reached their destination Rogue was so exhausted that she was nearly unconscious. She was spouting gibberish that This mysterious hero couldn't make out. As they reached the gates of the institute she could barely keep herself upright and Remy quickly got off the bike and caught her before she had a chance to fall to the ground.

The gates were closed so he buzzed to be let in. "Someone, help!" he shouted into the microphone. "I have unconscious woman here."

He suddenly saw a white-haired woman approach. She was dark-skinned and dressed in what looked like night clothes, a white silk two piece pajama set with a black robe also made of silk. It was dark, but Remy could see just fine in the dark.

His only mission right now was to get this young woman some help. "What is the trouble?" she asked and she studied the young man in the trench coat and sunglasses was saw what he was carrying. "Rogue!" she called out and gasped.

She quickly punched in the code that unlocked the main gate and let the young man in. Remy slipped inside the door carrying Rogue's unconscious body.

"What happened to her?" the woman asked as she led the man to the entrance doors of the mansion.

"Not sure," he said as they brought her inside. He laid her down on the couch in the room just off the entrance hall. The place was quiet seeing that it was the middle of the night and everyone had gone to sleep. "I t'ink It was a car accident."

The white-haired woman quickly took her vitals, looking for a pulse and heartbeat and checked her breathing. "She's alive," the woman said, "but she needs immediate medical attention." She got up off the floor where she had been tending to Rogue and raced towards the wall and hit the intercom. Remy took her place and kept a close vigil on Rogue. "Hank, come to the living room, we have a situation."

"Be right there, Storm," he said and Remy looked up. "You're Storm?"

"Yes," she said and held out his hand. "I'm Gambit. We spoke on the phone a few hours ago."

"Well, not even officially part of the team and already a hero."

"No wanna be a hero, jus' don't wan' her t'die," he said and held her hand and caressed her forehead with his gloved hand.

"Be careful with her," Storm said and checking to see that she was still breathing. "Her powers may be back and it would be dangerous for you to touch her."

"I know, dat's why I bein' careful," he said just as he saw a big blue hurry beast enter the room. He had on a pair of glasses and a lab coat.

"What happened here?" he said and looked over at Storm and she in turn looked over at him.

"No' really sure," Remy said. "Just found her in the park. T'ink it was a car accident. Lot a angry people in de park so de only t'ing to do was get her out of dere. She gonna be okay?"

"We need to get her down to sickbay," Hank said as he double-checked her vitals. "She needs a full examination and monitoring."

Remy gently picked her up and followed the big blue man and Storm accompanied them as well."
