Remy was standing in the kitchen making beignets while watching Rogue and Erik flirting with each other out of the corner of his eye. Morph was trying to make fun of Gambit's jealousy while Logan and Scott were bickering with each other.
“If you wouldn’t mind chere, I’m trying to make some delicious beignets and all I can hear is that disgustin noise” Remy was getting irritated by their affection
“If it bothers you so much swamp rat then you can leave” Rogue points out
“You know Gambit has had enough of this” Remy leaves after plating up food and putting it on the table. Morph starts tucking into the food and watches Remy leave
“Something is up with the Cajun today. I can smell it on him” Logan says as he sees Remy outside the window in the courtyard
“I’m sure he’s fineeeee. He does make some delicious food though” Morph says while stuffing his face
Logan watches through the window as Gambit plays with some playing cards, charging them and throwing them
“The idiot is gonna hurt himself if he gets too reckless” Logan mutters under his breath
Logan gets up and walks outside where Remy is charging some objects and throwing them in anger
“Cajun! If you wanna release some anger, maybe do it in the danger room and not out here”
Remy jumps a little and turns around “Oh it's you… sorry mon ami”
“What’s going through that head of yours?”
“Logan you ain’t one for da pep talk. Gambit fine right now” Remy looks at his playing cards
“Well, you don’t seem fine Cajun. I dunno wanna talk about it?” Logan scratches behind his ear
“What’s to talk about mon ami? Gambit ok you hear? Gambit wait for more missions I guess, itchin to get outta here”
“Because of Erik and Rogue?”
“Leave it Wolverine otherwise Imma start dealin” Remy’s eyes light up, his red pupils bright.
“Woah woah I didn’t mean any harm Cajun. I can see that you like her so it’s gotta be difficult. Trust me I know how you feel” Logan sighs
“I don’t just like her mon ami… Gambit loves her. But I guess she prefer to be wit’ the magnet man. Chere told me that herself”
Logan puts a hand on Remy’s shoulder “Come on let’s go inside before Morph eats all of your beignets”
Remy nods and follows Logan inside. Everyone is still where they were when he left and Remy is just sat there in silence which is very uncommon for the Cajun.
Later that day, Rogue goes up to visit Remy in his room and notices that the door is open a little. She watches through the gap of the door. Remy is shirtless and is doing some form of exercise. Charging his playing cards and throwing them out of the open window at a tree in the distance
“Bullseye! Wahoo! A little Gambit speciality coming right up”
Rogue watches as Gambit flips and throws a playing card which blows up a tree
“Oops… maybe Gambit don’t tell anyone bout that one. I blame Cyclops”
“Good luck with that sugah”
Gambit jumps and turns around
“Chere! How long have you been stood there?”
“Not long but long enough to see that tree get destroyed”
Remy rubs the back of his neck
“Gambit a little underdressed to be watched by a girl such as yourself chere”
“Your flirting ain’t gonna help you swamp rat. Besides, you know I’m with Erik”
“Won’t stop me from loving you chere”
Rogue looks at him for a moment and wonders what to say
“Remy… I”
“Nothing to say chere… nothing that won’t break Remy’s heart anyway”
Scott then rushes in with news about a sentinel attack near the mansion and they all get ready and suited up. Remy sticks behind watching and observing the scene.
“Alright everyone be on the lookout. Sentinels are everywhere, no casualties, save who you can” Scott commands as he starts rounding up the humans and taking them to safety.
Erik levitates himself and takes down one sentinel as he smirks at Rogue
Logan and Gambit perform a stunt where Remy puts energy into Logan’s claws and he slashes through a sentinels head
“Nice one Cajun!”
“Not too bad yourself mon ami”
A large group of sentinels then start approaching and tearing the place down.
“This is not good, non?” Remy looks at them
“What’s the plan, Scott?” Logan looks at him
“Attack. That’s all we can do. The area is clear of civilians”
“Sound like a good plan mon ami. Gambit ready for anything” He charges up his staff and his cards
“GO!”
Rogue flies over a sentinel and punches it, Erik tears on apart, Logan rips through them, Scott blasts them and Gambit is blowing stuff up.
A huge Sentinel then appears
“Gambit got this” Remy smirks and looks at Rogue
Gambit runs at a fast pace and then leaps into the air, charging his staff and then….
Crunch… wet and awful sounding…. Remy shakily looks down as he is being raised in the air by the sentinel via a hole in his stomach
“Mutant detected. Destroy”
“The name is Remy Lebeau, Le Diable Blanc….. G…Gambit…. Remember it”
Everyone watches as his kinetic energy flows through the sentinel. Gambit turns to looks at the X-Men and smiles. He looks at Rogue… He turns back to the Sentinel
“Boom…” Gambit says
A huge explosion… the sentinel in pieces and rubble flying through the air
“No….” Logan looks at the crater left behind
“REMY!” Rogue screams
Remy’s body is lying in the crater, covered in blood and ash
The X-Men hurry over to him and see his body move a little
“Remy? Sugah?” Rogue looks at him and touches his face with a gloved hand
“C….c…chere?” Remy opens his black and red eyes slightly and smirks, blood falling from his mouth
“It’s gonna be alright sugah we will help you”
“G…gambit don’t feel too good c…chere”
Everyone is watching their interaction. Erik being a little bit annoyed by their closeness
“I d…don’t think Gambit gon make it c…chere”
“Don’t say that Remy we will get you outta here”
“K…kiss me s…so I can feel you…. Before I go”
“Remy ah can’t”
“I…it all Gambit want Chere” Remy is wheezing a little
“I….”
Remy’s eyes unfocus and he is no longer breathing
“Remy? Sugah? Hey Remy say something. Make a joke…. Remy?”
Everyone has their heads bowed. They know he is gone
Rogue takes off a glove and presses it to his face
“I….I can’t feel you sugah….”
Rogue looks at Remy with tears in her eyes
“Remy…. Please don’t leave me. I love you sugah”
Erik looks at Rogue and bows his head. He knows that Remy would have loved to hear that
“I can’t feel you….”
