Gambit meets the Psychiatrist

Remy patiently sat in the waiting room of the mysterious Dr. Sefen and listened as Dazzler told him all about the recent events in her career (which was, by her account, going well).

In truth, he wasn't nearly as calm as he appeared to be.

Sure, Remy may have projected the image of calm, cool and collected, like he always did, but inside he was more terrified than he had ever been.

He had no clue what happened when **** had taken over his body, all he knew was that Sabertooth, of all people, seemed genuinely freaked out by him after that and Magik said nothing to him, but she definitely seemed to hover near him when she had the chance.

Something was up with her and he would eventually have to figure out just what it was.

Mainly because he was sure that He was gonna be in a lot of trouble if she knew his secret and if she told anyone.

As he sat in the waiting room, he had to admit that he was incredibly that Dazzler insisted on joining him for support.

Normally he wasn't exactly into the idea of leaning on a person for help, but, after the past 24 hours he'd had, he wasn't willing to argue at this point, so she sat beside him and simply talked his ear off.

In truth, that was a badly needed distraction for him so he was grateful that Dazzler was by his side for this.

He had to admit that he was relying on her more and more lately and she was stepping up to this particular challenge.

In a way, she was the one person in his life, at the moment, he could really rely on.

Rogue was off doing her own thing with the Avengers and he wasn't even sure if he could really trust her anymore, Storm was in Wakanda most of the time and he really didn't want to burden Laura with his problems, she had enough to deal with at the moment.

So Alison stepped in to fill that void.

They chatted and it took Remy's mind off of recent events and calmed his nerves.

Eventually the wait was over and the psychiatrist was ready to see him.

He strode in and saw that Karla Sofen waiting for him.

For his part, Remy was already very unhappy to see her.

The last time they'd run into each other, she was a part of the Dark Avengers, it wasn't exactly a secret among superheros that Ms. Sofen wasn't exactly someone trustworthy.

"Let me guess, you're using this incredibly creative fake name to throw people off your scent." He said with an eye roll.

"Something like that, I know you're not happy with this, but I think Alison has gone out of her way to help you and, at the very least, you owe it to her to go through with this." She responded, knowing that She knew that guilt tended to make Remy do a lot of things.

Alison had given her a pretty thorough run down on Remy and his best (and worst) qualities.

Remy would have turned and walked right out, but he trusted Dazzler's judgement, so he'd go with it, but he had to be on his guard for the rest of this appointment.

The last thing that he wanted was giving up too much information to a supervillian who could use the info for nefarious purposes.

Still, '**** times were calling for **** measures' was the motto, given recent events.

And Gambit was going to have to follow that motto to the letter.

If he had to open up to Karla (within reason), that's what he'd do.
