In all honesty, it wasn’t as if Death was a big, well-kept secret. It was simply, for the most part, buried under bigger and more recent crisises. So Cable - he could’ve dug all this info up just to throw Remy off. He could’ve. But, if what Remy felt during his one week of coma - if the voice whispering in the back of his head was any indication - there was a risk Cable was right. That Death was coming, and Hell would follow at his heels.
Remy nods, simply. Silent for a moment, arms folded (not in threat but out of his own discomfort) back leaning against the closed door. Eyes staring at the floor.
“I’ve been ‘earin’ it, recently,” and it’s so wrong that it’s Cable he ends up telling this to. The first person to open up to about this since the last time. “Him. It. Scratchin’ in th’ back a’ m’ skull. ‘E kept tellin’ me, over n’ over, t’ die n’ give up when I was in th’ hospital. I know ‘e’s there. N’ tryinna find any opportunity t’ resurface.”
His eyes move up to Cable, then. He pauses. Tries and breathe in, breathe out. Getting upset, right now, will do him no favors. “It can’t be removed. I tried. ‘E was s’pposed t’ be gone. But it ain’t. So if worse comes t’ pass…” He needs to be killed. He doesn’t need to say that out loud. “I can count on ya wit’ that, right?” He can. He knows he can.
That was interesting information. Had Death meant literally, or figuratively? To simply relinquish control, or to actually die? It was Death, after all. If it was the latter--and he couldn’t take any chances that it wasn’t--he couldn’t simply kill Remy, he would have to destroy him. Ruin any possible chance that Death could use his body.
"I’ll do what needs to be done,” he told him firmly. He was here to stop Death, one way or another. It was something of a relief that Remy was on the same page. One less hurdle, one less complication. However... no hope at all wasn’t going to help in the ‘hang in there’ department. “...I thought the same thing, with the T.O. But I was proven wrong, Remy. I’ll keep a lookout, if things go well here, if I find any way to solve this problem, I’ll get back to you.” Of course he had additional motives for that, but that wasn’t the point.
Now for the bad news. Or worse news, rather.
“...Wade is working for Sinister, right now. In the vision, he was leading the Marauders. I don’t know why. I don’t know if he chose it, if he was blackmailed into it, or any number of reasons. I don’t have a whole lot of control over what gets shown to me.” He waited a moment, studying him carefully before continuing. “I think it has to do with Sabretooth. He was the target. Then you showed up, then Death showed up--needless to say, Creed wasn’t the only one to die that day.” He shook his head. “Maybe that’s all Wade is doing, finding a reason and a way to take him out. Those two have... history.” If he didn’t already know, he wasn’t inclined to share more than he had to.
