Rogue had been at Xavier's school for gifted youngesters for a while now and had just recently gained the trust of the most obnoxious member, Wolverine. Well, she thought she earned his trust but he still kept an awfully close eye on her. He would make a snarl with his upper lip when she entered a room which she more often than not met with a roll of her emerald eyes.
Her day started out like any other. She dressed up making sure to cover up her skin so there could be no accidental touching. She was just about to head down the stairs when Professor X's voice entered her head. X-men meet down in Entrance hall. There is a new member I would like you to meet.
Rogue rolled her eyes and exited her room heading in the direction of the entrance hall. Logan followed her as she walked down the stairs. He soon caught up to her and they fell into the same walking pattern as eachother when the other x-men arrived. Jean next to Scott, Emma on Scott's other side, Kitty by Nightcrawler, and Colossus walking next to Ororo just behind him.
They entered the entrance hall to see Professor X talking to a man a bit older then her. The x-men entered and the man's eyes fixed on Rogue's. They stared at each other for a minute and everything was quiet. Rogue was facinated by his red on black eyes and mysterious face. He suddenly grinned, she blushed releasing she was staring. He stood up and walked over to her. He bowed slightly and took her hand. She flinched lightly about to pull it away. He looked up at her and kissed her hand. She gave him and irritated look and pulled her hand back, turning her gaze elsewhere.
Logan was eyeing the man warily. "Bonjour, ma cherie," the man said watching Rogue. He spoke in a thick cajun accent, "I'm Gambit, but you can call me Remy." She looked at him reluctant to answer, "Ah'm Rogue." She had a southern accent that made him smile.
His gaze then turned to Jean. He bowed and kissed Jean's hand. "An' you are?" "Jean Grey." She smiled kindly to him. He stood straight and shook Scott's hand. "I'm Scott." Scott stood straight. "Alrigh' mister military." Rogue smiled slightly and Gambit had turned to catch it. She saw him looking and the smile was immediately replaced with a small snarl similar to the one Logan has. Gambit turned to Emma. Emma stood up straight when he bowed and kissed her hand. "I'm Emma Frost. Oh, and between you and me I don't reccomend trying to get anywhere with Rogue. You won't get anywhere with her and thinking that way about her is just purely disgusting." She gave him a look that clearly said she was smarter and more mature then him. He looked up and smiled at her. "I wasn' even planin' t'try." Logan walked toward him and held out his hand.
Gambit took it and shook reluctantly. "I'm Logan." Logan had an accent that was clearly country but a canadian country. Gambit nodded as Logan walked up and stood protectively next to Rogue. She eyed both of the men as they had a sort of stare down. in the end Kitty was the one who ended it by running up to Gambit all giddy with giggles. "I'm Kitty! but here I am known as Shadowcat." He smiled and kissed her hand. Colossus shook his hand next and seemed to be the fairly nicest to him. "Long time no see, russian." "Ah, Remy. It has been a while." Gambit smiled at him and then shook Nightcrawler's hand. "I'm Kurt Vagner." Gambit eyed him up and down.
Kurt teleported leaving behind a slight cloud of sulfric acid. He reappeared next to Rogue. She found this slightly unnerving. Kurt was normal. He was her brother he usually hung out with her the most but Logan standing next to her as if expecting Gambit to try something was weird beyond belief.
Gambit then looked at Ororo and his smile widened even more. "Hello Gambit." "Bonjour, ma chere." "Don't call me that Gambit. It's unprofessional." She held out her hand and he shook it, lightly.
"I would like for you to all get to know Gambit for he is going to be your new teammate. Ororo, you and Piotr will be in the danger room with him tomorrow night for practice to show him some fighting strategies to help him fit in. Who knows he might teach you something in return," Professor Xavier said, "I chose you first since you both know him. Rogue and Logan the next day, then Kitty and Nightcrawler, next Jean and Scott, and then me and Emma."
Emma opened her mouth as if to argue the arrangements of Scott being with Jean instead of her but when Xavier gave her a sharp look she closed her mouth and just scowled. "Dismissed." Xavier waved his hand and they left the room. Gambit followed Rogue and stood next to her. Logan was on her other side. Her and Logan both stayed quiet. Kurt bounded away after Kitty. "So, ma chere, I was t'inkin' 'ow bout dinner tonight." Rogue looked over at him "In yer dreams, swamp rat, and even then probably not." "You never told me your name. Rogue, T'ats not a real name, ma cherie." "Rogue is all yer gettin', sugah, now perhaps yeh'll leave me and Logan t'train."
Rogue gave Logan a look that clearly asked him to agree to it. "Yes we are heading down to the danger room right now aren't we, darlin'" Logan scowled but managed to maintain a convincing face.
Gambit frowned when he called her darling. "Maybe, I'll come down an' watch, non? I won' get in the way none, chere." Rogue stared at him. "No. Yeh may not come." She walked off in the direction of the danger room. Logan flung out his hand and blocked Gambit from moving. He looked over at Gambit. "You might want to stay away from Rogue. If you know what's good for you, bub. She ain't like the girls your used to and there aint no point in chasin' after somethin' that you ain't never gonna catch." He removed his hand and followed Rogue. Gambit stayed still and watched them leave.
Rogue disappeared around a corner and when Logan made it there she had turned around and was waiting for him. "Thanks fer helpin' meh out back there, yeh didn' have teh an it was mighty sweet of yeh." She smiled at him. Logan rolled his eyes. "No, problem, darlin'. But liein' t'him won't keep him away forever and you know it."
Rogue smiled at Logan her green eyes beaming. "Well, Ah have t'finish something but after that Ah will be sure t'have t'kick yer butt in the danger room, bub." She said "bub" similar to the way he did as a joke to annoy him and it worked. He looked up at the ceiling in a way that quite clearly expressed that if they weren't teamates he probably wouldnt like her. But then he smiled and Rogue looked at him suspiciously. He lifted his hand up and she flinched slightly. He ruffled up her hair. "Your alright, stripes, for a southerner." She rolled her eyes. " An' Ah guess yer alright fer a hairy old man." "At least I ain't a whiney teenager that needs a hairy old man to scare guys away from her since she has no backbone."
They both glared at eachother. It was another stare down. They both stared intently both unwilling to break the stare. But Rogue reluctantly broke it off and stalked away. Logan watched her go. Then ran his fingers through his hair, snarled, and walked off and down to the danger room. Logan never looked back though Rogue did, once.
She ran up to her room and opened the door. There was a knock on it almost as soon as it shut that made her flinch because she hadn't seen anyone follow her. She opened the door and there stood Gambit. "Bonjour cherie. We meet again. It's a pleasure, non?" He smiled at her and she just kept looking at him with an annoyed gaze. "What do yeh want, swamp rat? Ah'm kinda busy." "T'ought I would get t'know you a little better, chere." "Go get t'know Emma better yer more likely to get into her pants then mine anyway." He looked at her and his eyes looked confused.
Rogue slammed the door in his face and no more knocks came after that. She walked over to her closet. It was the first time that she had a room to herself and she just now noticed she had a lot of closet space that was unfilled. She walked over to her window and opened it. She leaned on the window sill and then flew out the window and spiraled around in the air. She did flips and twirls. She felt truly at home in the air. Though a voice was always constantly nagging her. The voice she can't hear. Well, not since Xavier locked it up. She scanned the ground until she saw Emma. Rogue spiraled down at her and Emma quick stepped out of her way. "Pathetic," said Emma, "you should practice more." "As if Ah can practice with all this new comer drama." "Yeah, that new boy really has the hots for you. Pretty funny he can't even tell that I am more attractive. He must be mental." "He ain't mental. He just doesn't have the taste fer whores." "If you could see inside his head like I can you would know how very wrong you are." "Whatever. Ah'm outta here. Do yeh know where Logan parked his motorcycle. Ah'm thinkin' bout goin' fer a spin." "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Juggernauts on the loose again. One false step and you might fall into his trap."
"Please, that boulderhead catch meh? That's ridiculous, shugah. Ah'm to fast. Besides Ah can fly. Once he gains that ability Ah'll be scared." "Rogue you don't even have that ability. You stole it from Ms. Marvel. along with other of her abilities. They aren't really yours and who knows they might eventually give out on you." "They haven't yet an' besides their still a truer friend then yeh are, bunny queen, they don't go whoring around with ever girl with a deadly touch." "There is another girl like that. Ridiculous I can barely stand one of you. In hopes of you getting captured. Logan's bike is out front."
"Thanks, Shugah," Rogue said running off. Emma rolled her eyes. Rogue ran off down the long driveway eventually reaching the end. she walked up to the gate and flew over it. She landed neatly on the black bike. She reached for the keys which Logan usually left in the ignition. She found them to not be there. "Lookin' for these, darlin',"Logan said holding up the keys. She looked up at him and rolled her eyes. "No." "Then why are you on my bike?" "Ah'm not." "Fine then you don't need the keys." "Uh. But Ah kinda do. Yeh see Ah was thinking about going for a little ride." "No you aren't it's dangerous." "Ah will do what Ah damn well please, Logan. Now gimme the keys er Ah'll steal Scott's bike. An' do yeh really wanna lose two girls to Scott cause yer runnin' out of choices." "Don't you speak to me that way, bub. I barely trust you with my bike I would never trust you with my life or the lives of my teammates. You aint going unless you go through me." "Well then Ah advise you to step aside."
"I can't do that, darlin'. Meet me in the danger room if you want the keys." Logan walked off and Rogue glared after him. She jumped off his bike and flew like a bullet to the garage. She didn't wait for it to open but just pried it up with her super strength. She walked over to Scott's bike and searched around for his keys. She found a note on the seat. Good luck leaving without Scott's keys either. ~Logan.
She growled. "This is ridiculous!" She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Ah guess Logan's about to recieve the fight of his life. How dare he deny meh mah right t'leave. Ah ain't no prisoner!" She felt herself smile slightly at the prospective of fighting her former teacher as she walked off in the direction of the danger room.
