This a story about the X-men who are characters from comic books produced by Marvel comics. I am taking off from a story I found on alt.comics.fan.fic written by Valerie Jones called "Betrayal." Neither Valerie not Marvel has given me permission to use their characters and ideas, but events in her story and prior events in the X-universe had been inspiring fantasies somewhat appropriate to this archive.
The beginning of this story is mainly a explanation of events that have led up to the drama to unfold. What should be explained is that the character named Bishop is a time traveler from a future in which all the X-men were killed as a result of a betrayal by one of their own. He has reason to believe that Remy LeBeau (aka Gambit) either is the traitor or knows something about the treachery. Remy has come to believe that Bishop might be right and has agreed to a psychic probe into his memories to see if he might know something that would save the lives of his teammates.
As I repost this story, I am aware that recent events in the Marvel universe have revealed the "traitor." Just consider my story a different time line.
