The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 50. To Risk It Or Not

At the end of the day, Kurt is wondering what's going on with Y/N, so he goes to his room and knock on the door.

"Y/N, you in zere?"

"Yeah..."

Kurt opens the door to see Y/N on his bed, looking very down. "Y/N?"

Y/N slightly looks towards him, not responding. Kurt closes the door and walks towards his friend to sit down next to him. "What's wrong?"

"There..." Y/N stops talking, knowing Kurt won't understand if he just blurts out the news. "I was monitoring SHIELD via Cerebro. They're... on to me." Kurt knows this is going to bad, now looking worried. "If they catch me, I may be put in isolation. That would only make things worse and would probably summon the Phoenix sooner. ...My father suggested for me to hide."

"Hide? What's that zupposed to mean?" Kurt asks with concern.

"It means there is a high chance I won't be living here anymore..."

There is a silence. Kurt sees Y/N looking away as tears begins to form in his eyes. Kurt merely put his arm around Y/N and hug him. The telepath begins sob.

"I'm zorry, Y/N..."

"I don't want to leave..." Y/N sobs again. "I don't want to leave everyone... I want to live here... I-I want things to be normal..."

Kurt continues to comfort his friend. He wants the best for him; however, he knows maybe going hiding is for the best for him. "Zhould I call ze rest? It may be vor the best zat zey know it az well."

Back outside, Logan is putting another lit cigar in his mouth. He's leaning against a beam next to him while looking at the back garden. Lights are coming out the windows his back is facing. What Logan didn't expect is when he hears the door opening. He looks to his side to see Gambit. Without a care, he looks back.

"Hey." Logan doesn't respond, merely looking at his cigar before putting it back in his mouth. Remy stands beside him and leans on the fences that is on the patio. "How many cigars did you smoke?"

"Whaddaya want?" Logan coldly replies, not even looking at his colleague. Remy merely let out a soft smirk. He grabs a piece of paper from his pocket and hand it over to Logan. "What's this?"

"Open it and find it."

Logan opens the paper to see what appears a list. "'Don't stay at one place. Don't use the same car over and over. Don't use mobile phones.'" The man looks back at Remy. "What's this?"

"It's a list I wrote on what to do and not when you're going into hiding."

"Me?"

Gambit hums. "Yes. You."

Logan wonders what changes when he left. "What did I miss?"

"Well, I brought up that Y/N needs mental support during times like this. I may be the best at hiding, but I'm not some parental figure. You however..."

"And what does the others say?"

"They agreed with my point." Gambit answers. "So, we've discussed who can best protect Y/N, help him in need and over all stand beside him. Although everybody wants to help him, they'll agree that he's closest to you."

Logan stays silence for a couple of seconds. After finishing his cigar, he crutches it in an ashtray. "I can't keep him on the low."

"That's why I made this on you." Gambit taps on the paper Logan is holding. "Use it as a guide and I promise you, not even the top of the government won't find you."
