In this story, Remy and Emil are seventeen and sixteen-and-a-half respectfully. Remy is a fairly new member of the X-Men. The basic idea is that Emil accidentally sees an argument between his father and uncle, with the result of his uncle Marcel killing his father. When Marcel discovers Emil watching, he threatens his nephew. Emil, scared, grief-stricken and unable to confide in anybody in the Guild, heads to Westchester, which is where Remy's latest letter to him was postmarked.
With the exception of Francois and Marcel [and Sebastien and Jacques], none of them belong to me, I'm just using them. Forget what you know or what you've read. This one is different. Hey, it's AU, remember? I just hope I can do what they're inspiring me to do.
