Walking into the Med lab with Remy trailing after him Logan called out, "Blue ya in here?"
"Ah Logan have you seen our young Cajun friend? Oh never mind I see that he is with you."
Remy ducked his head as he clutched Logan's hand tighter with his eyes on the floor he missed the concerned looks that passed between Logan and Hank.
Speaking softly Remy asked, "Is it alright if Wolvie stays?"
Reaching out Hank gently lifted Remy's chin up so he could look into his eyes saying, "If that is what you want, but may I ask, where is Petey?"
Blinking his eye quickly to fight back the tears that threaten to fall as he told them, "Don' know."
Logan could smell the fear that flowed off his young friend, growling, "Did that bastard take him?"
Wide eyed Remy flinched away, stuttering, "Oui. . . He said. . . that I dinna deserve. . . to have. . . him."
Logan growled, "Bastard." When he felt Remy flinched away from him, he tried to calm his temper down before reassuring the scared young man at his side. Once he felt he was calm enough to smooth Remy, Logan drew the younger man back to his side saying, "I'm sorry for upsetting you Remy, I'm not mad at you Darlin' but I'm mad at Drake for taking Petey from you, he knows that you treasure that toy."
 Hank watched exchange between the two men silently nodding to himself as his suspicions he had for awhile were confirmed.
Once Remy had calm down again Hank held out his hand saying, "Remy I need to check for damage. I'm sure you're in pain and I need to make sure that there is no lasting damage. Will you let me check?"
Hank held his breath as he waited for Remy to answer smiling when he saw Remy cast a quick glance at Logan before he took Hank's hand and nodded slowly.
Hank noticed that Remy refused to release Logan's hand when he lead the younger man towards one of the beds.

Boathouse

Matt frowned when he saw a blue rabbit sitting in the middle of a bed in a locked room looking over at Scott he asked, "Is there a child that uses this room?"
Scott wiped his eyes as he looked over his shoulder cursing, "That fucking bastard."
Bubba raced into the room asking, "What wrong?"
Moving to the bed Scott picked up the tatty well loved rabbit saying, "This is Remy's, he goes nowhere without it, it's the only thing he has from his childhood, he thinks that our parents gave it to him before he was taken."
Bubba gently rubbed the toy's long floppy ears as he said, "Then he'll be wanting it with him then."
Scott nodded as he hugged the toy to his chest saying, "I'll take it to him now, will you be alright here?"
Patting Scott's shoulder Matt said, "Yeah we will, you go and see your brother. Once we're done here we'll lock up and met up with you and the others."

Med Lab
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hank patted Remy's leg reassuringly, "Nearly finished Remy, one more test and then we're finished."
Nodding Remy clung onto Logan's hand as he muttered, "Oui."
Tightening his grip on Remy's hand Logan rubbed the younger man's back to ease the tension he felt in the younger man's back.
Pressing back into the hand at his back Remy closed his eyes with a sigh.
Hank smiled as he finished patting the younger man's leg saying, "It's over Remy, I want you to rest for a couple of days, you need to let you body heal. I'll give you some pills to help with the pain and I want you to take them Remy, you need to let your body heal naturally and the pills will help with the pain and to kill off any infections, I know you don't like taking medicine but I have to insist on this if you don't take them you'll be right back here again for a longer stay."
Logan chuckled everyone knew that Remy hated taking any sort of medicine, "Don't worry Blue I'll make sure he takes his med.'s."
Remy scowled at the two saying, "Remy don' need no med.'s."
Logan smirked as Hank shot back, "If you want to leave here you will do as you're told young man."
Remy knew that it was no use in fighting with Heri when he used that tone of voice so he just nodded as he slid off the bed and waited for Hank and Logan to finish going over what was expected of his care while he was healing.
Logan frowned as he noticed that Remy hadn't made a move to getting dress held up a hand to stop Hank from talking, turning so he could focus all his attention on the younger man.
Hank stop speaking and watched as Logan spoke to the younger man.
"Remy?"
Lifting his red on black eyes till he was looking into Logan's pale blue eyes saying, "Oui Wolvie?"
Logan smiled as he asked, "Why don't you get dress while waiting Darlin'?"
Ducking his head in shame as he replied, "Oui Wolvie. Remy sorry me forgot."
Moving closer to the skittish man saying, "It's alright Rems." Reaching out slowly Logan drew the younger man into his arms saying, "It's gonna take time to heal kiddo give yourself sometime and it will happen, and remember that you're not alone anymore you have family and friends who wanna help you recover."
Remy let his head drop onto his friend's shoulders drawing comfort from the emotions that were flowing from Logan and Hank, feeling safe in Logan's arms Remy snuggled into the older man and letting his eyes close Remy then slipped off into sleep.
Logan felt Remy slip into sleep and gently lifted Remy into his arms and carried him back to the bed he had just got off, laying him down Logan sat beside the bed and held onto a limp hand in his and settled in for a long wait.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Scott rushed into the Med lab only to slide to a halt at the scene in front of him, with his heart in his mouth he asked, "What's wrong?"
Hank help a finger to his lips and gestured to Scott to follow him to his office.
Before joining Hank Scott moved over to his little brother and gently placed his stuffed rabbit under Remy's arm and brushed a strand of hair off his brow before looking over at Logan and whispered, "Look after him for me?"
Without taking his eyes off the still form on the bed he nodded.
With one last look at his brother Scott headed off and joined Hank in his office.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Frank Adams frowned as waited for Tony to tell him more about the new case he was being given but before Tony could tell him more Vinnie had called so he was cooling his heels in the outer office till Tony finished with his call.
Tapping a file against his thigh going over what he knew so far in his mind was enough to set his teeth on edge, it was the sort of case other masters hated it gave everyone who was into the scene a bad name.
Frank glance through the file again while he waited and noticed that there wasn't all that much gathered, he really hoped that Tony could tell him more, he smiled when he noticed that Bubba was also involved in the investigation as well muttering under his breath, "Well things have just gotten more interesting if Bubba involved."
"That they are Frank." Tony smiled as he noticed at Frank nearly jumped smothering his laughter Tony said, "Sorry didn't mean to scare ya Frankie."
Waving his hand to dismiss the apology saying, "Doesn't matter." Looking back at the file he asked, "Is there anymore I need to know about this case at all?"
Frowning Tony replied, "Unfortunately not much when you go there report in to Bubba and he'll tell what he knows. What I do know is some kid thought he was a Master in the making and abused a young man who didn't wish to enter the scene at all."
"This kid have any experience at all?"
Tony shook his head as he said, "It seems that this Bobby visited some friends and they took him to the local chapter where Bubba goes and he was raving about how he had the prefect bottom. Bubba gave him normal advice for beginnings you know the deal come and see a club in his area and that but the kid never did he just went full stream ahead."
Cocking his head Frank asked, "This kid talking at all?"
"Not sure, check in with Bubba."
Nodding Frank asked, "How badly was the Boy hurt?"
"Seriously, from what Bubba was able to tell me the kid seriously freaked the Boy out."
"Damn."
"Yeah when you go keep in touch and let me know how it's goes."
Nodding Frank glance through the file saying, "Will do." Frank frowned as he read over what was gather, looking up from the file he asked, " Has this kid Robert involve ever been a sub himself before this happened?"
Tony snorted, "Hell no, the kid a newbie, he didn't have any training or testing to see if he was Master's material like he said he was."
"Shit."
"Yeah."
Running a hand through his dark locks saying, "That means I need to test the kid."
"Yup ya do."
Frank snorted, "You're enjoying this ain't ya?"
Tony chuckled, "Sure am, you need a new boy or ya lose you're edge."
Taking a deep breath and releasing it in a whoosh, "No one can replace Trevin."
Laying a hand on his friend shoulder saying, "Not replace Frank but move on Trevin wouldn't want to see you like this. It's time Frankie it's been over three years."
Swallowing hard past the lump in his throat,  Frank weakly smiled as he moved towards the door, "I'll think about it."
"That's all we can ask for, now go, Bubba waiting for ya."
Closing the file Frank headed towards the door opening it he turned and faced his friend saying, "You know that I hate cases like these don't you?"
"Don't we all."
Frank nodded and left the office closing the door he leant against it breathing hard as he fought off the tears that threaten to flow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Arrived at the mansion an hour later, once he left the club he had gone to his home and packed a bag for his stay with the famous untouchable X-Men, he wasn't all that surprised that one of the X-Men had control issues he had seen them before and dealt with a couple but he wasn't all that surprised that it came to a head with one of the youngest members, he had read the files on all the current members that had been sent over to him and only two had caught his attention to being possible problems. Standing at the gate Frank took in his first real look of the X-Men mansion whistling, "Whew there some real money flowing into this joint." Pressing the button at the gate entrance and waited for someone to reply.
"Hello how may I help you?"
Frank grinned as he heard the smooth voice flow from the box in front of him, pressing the speaker button he said, "Hello I'm expected."
"Your name?"
"Frank Adams."
"Hold on."
Frank didn't have to wait long when the gates swung open and the same voice told him, "Please follow the path to the door and someone will see you."
"Thanks."
Frank followed the path and stepped up the stair leading to the door walking up the the door he pressed the bell and tapped his foot as he waited.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Christopher Summers glance about to make sure no one witnessed his arrival not seeing anyone. Looking skyward Cosair watched as his starship The Starjammer disappeared into the clouds till the gates opened again in an hour times, once out of his sight he squared his shoulders it was time to have a reunion with his youngest son who he had seen since he went missing when he was only a year old but he never gave up looking for his son even after the accident he looked for his boys. CJ Summers was the last missing member of his family to be found with a smile Cosair looked up towards heaven saying, "Kath I have finally found all our babies, from what I've been told CJ or Remy as he is known, as has been with his big brother for nearly three years. I've actually met him once before but didn't know he was our son I never saw his eyes he had them covered all the time." With a sad smile he took a deep breath he closed his eyes as he said, "It's time to meet our baby Kath."
