Months after the Apocalypse incident, Gambit breaks into an MRD facility and steals something very vauable. When he shows up at the mansion steps with a mysterious girl, how is Rogue to cope?
"I am almost afraid of asking what you thought of me, when we met at Pemberley. You blamed me for coming?"
"No indeed; I felt nothing but surprise."
"Your surprise could not be greater than mine in being noticed by you. My conscience told me that I deserved no extraordinary politene-"
"Rogue, would you please join us in the common room?"
Rogue jumped in surprise then groaned in frustration when she realized she'd lost her place. All she wanted to do was finish her book and write her report so she could pass English, was that so much to ask?
"Rogue."
"Ah'm comin'" she said aloud, closing her book and rolling off her bed.
By the time Rogue got downstairs, most of the resident mutants were already gathered around the television keyed in to a local news station.
"What's goin' on?"
Kurt pointed a think blue finger at the screen, "Your boyfriend's famous."
Rogue raised a brow at her brother and turned her attention to the screen.
"-mutant broke into an MRD facility earlier this evening and stole valuable research materials. What you're seeing now is the mutant. He is to be considered extremely dangerous. If you see him please call…"
Rogue stared at the image on the screen. She knew that face, how could she not? She'd faced off against and fought alongside him dozens of time. Hell, he was probably the only person who'd ever really gotten her to relax, though he'd kidnapped and deceived her to do it.
While her mind processed the blow of seeing him on television after all this time, all she could think to say was, "He's not mah boyfriend."
I know I ended that bad and I know it's short, but hey that's why it's a prologue and Rogue's kinda in shock.
Anyway, I'll have the first chapter up later this evening. It's also short, but second chapter will be longer.
