In all honesty, it wasnât 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 couldâve dug all this info up just to throw Remy off. He couldâve. 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.
   âIâve been âearinâ it, recently,â and itâs so wrong that itâs Cable he ends up telling this to. The first person to open up to about this since the last time. âHim. It. Scratchinâ in thâ back aâ mâ skull. âE kept tellinâ me, over nâ over, tâ die nâ give up when I was in thâ hospital. I know âeâs there. Nâ tryinna find any opportunity tâ resurface.â
    His eyes move up to Cable, then. He pauses. Tries and breathe in, breathe out. Getting upset, right now, will do him no favors. âIt canât be removed. I tried. âE was sâpposed tâ be gone. But it ainât. So if worse comes tâ passâŠâ He needs to be killed. He doesnât need to say that out loud. âI can count on ya witâ that, right?â He can. He knows he can.
   âSo⊠Tell me.â
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 couldnât take any chances that it wasnât--he couldnât simply kill Remy, he would have to destroy him. Ruin any possible chance that Death could use his body.
"Iâll do what needs to be done,â 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 wasnât going to help in the âhang in thereâ department. â...I thought the same thing, with the T.O. But I was proven wrong, Remy. Iâll keep a lookout, if things go well here, if I find any way to solve this problem, Iâll get back to you.â Of course he had additional motives for that, but that wasnât the point.
Now for the bad news. Or worse news, rather.
â...Wade is working for Sinister, right now. In the vision, he was leading the Marauders. I donât know why. I donât know if he chose it, if he was blackmailed into it, or any number of reasons. I donât have a whole lot of control over what gets shown to me.â He waited a moment, studying him carefully before continuing. âI think it has to do with Sabretooth. He was the target. Then you showed up, then Death showed up--needless to say, Creed wasnât the only one to die that day.â He shook his head. âMaybe thatâs all Wade is doing, finding a reason and a way to take him out. Those two have... history.â If he didnât already know, he wasnât inclined to share more than he had to.
