Remy awoke instantly alert. He was on a bed in a small dark room, with one door and a small window. He sat up quickly. He needed to get out of here. He couldnąt remember how he'd gotten here. Had one of the pimps caught him, he checked himself for injuries. He appeared to be okay.
A whimpering sound alerted him to the fact that he was not alone. He turned and saw a bundle of blankets moving. He pulled them back and saw a white haired girl of roughly his own age. She opened blue cat like eyes and stared at him in confusion.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I am Ororo, who are you?" she asked him in return.
"Remy," he said, "you know where we are chere? Or 'ow we get 'ere?"
Ororo looked around, "I do not recognise this place, the last thing I remember is ..." she paused and expression turned to one of terror, "Nanny!"
That one word sparked off Remys memories and he remembered Nanny coming towards him and them nothing afterwards.
"You were dere I remember dat but I don' know you."
"I know. I do not understand it at all."
"Never mind about dat now chere, we 'ave to get of 'ere fast, 'fore she comes back."
They walked over to the only door in the room. They tried to open it but it was tightly locked.
"It is locked, we cannot get out," Ororo said.
She had begun to panic, her fear of closed spaces taking over rational thought, "I must get out Remy, I cannot breathe in here."
"Relax chere," he said trying to reassure her, "I get you out non?"
Remy stood back and studied the room once again. He looked closely at the small window. He knew he could get out of it but could she?
"Chere, you see de window up dere, you can get up and squeeze out?" he asked.
Ororo calmed herself slightly to answer his question. The window was high up but she was agile enough to get up there and certainly skinny enough to squeeze through.
"Yes, I can get out of there if we can up to it," she replied.
Remy looked at the room again.
"You can push me up chere and den I can lift you out. D'accord?"
"You won't leave me?" Ororo asked.
"Non chere, we take care o' each ot'er now. Got no one else t'look out for us chere." Remy said solemnly.
Ororo gave him a quick hug which he returned and they moved into action.
"Has Remy come back yet sugah?" Rogue asked with a concerned expression on her face.
"No, and neither has Storm," Bishop replied.
"Remy will come back won't he?" she asked.
"Of course he will," Jean said reassuringly, "Storm will make sure of that."
"You think that they are okay?" Bishop asked.
"Of course, Storm would have contacted us at the slightest hint of any trouble, she has her communicator with her and it hasn't been deactivated. Maybe we should just leave her to talk to Remy." Jean said smiling.
The Nanny faced the strange man, her heart pounding with fear.
"Where is he?" the man asked.
The nanny swallowed before answering, "He and the girl escaped."
The strange man glared at her, "And how is that possible, you told me you had them secured."
"I did, but you didn't warn me about the resourcefulness of the little brat he climbed out of a window with Ororo."
"It was your job to ensure that he could not escape. I am not a patient man and I will not tolerate incompetence, I will give you one chance to recover them."
The strange man did not explain what would happen if she failed again and the Nanny did not care to know the answer. She nodded and left.
