Behind Masks

X-men: Evolution fanfic, sequel to "Triangle," and sister story to "Without Masks"

Disclaimer - Rosaline, Madison, Adryen, and all other original characters are mine. The world of X-men, and its characters, belong to Marvel Comics though. I'm just borrowing the place to give them somewhere to live :)

Notes – Inspired by my other story "Without Masks," this shares snippets of the lives of the canon X-men: Evolution characters, during the gap between the last chapter of "Triangle" and its epilogue and after that story is over. Even though my original characters may show up from time to time or be referenced, these stories focus on the X-men themselves. Like "Without Masks," there will be no chronological order to these, though the timeline they go by can be found in the "Triangle" Extras. "Without Masks," has a definite end because it is part of a fanfiction challenge, limited to 100 stories. This, however, has no chapter limit. Hopefully it will turn itself into something good, regardless. Also, please read "Triangle" before you start on this, if you are new to my work. Though it isn't as necessary to do that as it is with "Without Masks," I would still recommend it, to set up the stories properly. Thanks very much, and I hope you enjoy!


Elegance

Rogue leaned against Remy as they lounged on the couch in the Rec Room, enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet. She tugged, frustrated, at the hems of her gloves. It was the middle of August – very hot, and having to wear extra clothing did not exactly please her.

"Ah hate this," she groaned. "Mah hands can never breathe."

Remy kissed the top of her head and murmured, "T'ink of it dis way, chere. Who wears gloves?"

"Other than jewel thieves?"

He smirked. "Classy ladies, mah petite. So you're always truly l'image de l'elegance."

She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile.
