"Rogue? Come on Rogue, you have to get up and go to school today."
She rolled over in her bed, pulling the covers up to her head, blatantly ignoring the weather witched words.
"You cant stay in your room for the rest of your life you know", she paused to wait for a reply, she got none. "It's been 2 weeks already, you have to get up today, its not healthy for you child."
It had been 2 weeks she thought to herself, but she still didn't feel ready to go out again. How could she trust that it wouldn't happen again? How did she know that on her way to school she wouldn't get kidnapped and used again? How did she know that that swamp rat wouldn't be waiting for her again?
"Fine, you give me no choice" suddenly a rush of cold swept through Rogues body as Storm unleashed a cloud full of water over her bed. Screaming, Rogue shot out of bed faster than you could say rain.
"Fahn! Ahm up! Ahm up! Ah'll go at school!" she cried as she drained the water from her hair out onto her carpet.
Storm smiled at the girl as she smoothly turned to leave the room, "Breakfast will be waiting downstairs for you, you better hurry if you don't want to be late"
Rogue collapsed on her bed once again. She didn't want to go to school today, just like she didn't want to go to school the last two weeks. Lately she had been so depressed, but they weren't her emotions flooding through. You see two weeks ago she had been kidnapped on her way to school by the Acolyte known as Gambit. Whilst on his mission to save his father, rogue had accidentally absorbed his memories. At the time it wasn't so bad, she knew what she need at the time to help him save his father, but once she had returned home she began to have nightmares about his life in new Orleans. She new so much about him now that all she wanted to do was see him and tell him that she understood everything, and knows why he did what he did, but she was scared.
She walked over to her dresser and opened up the top draw, she pulled out a dark green box that held something special. It was the card that Gambit had given her, the queen of hearts. She remembered one of the dreams she had the other night. It was of gambits wedding. She saw how the girl at the alter had broken his heart as she left him, leaving this particular card behind in his hands. He looked at it struggling to hold back the tears, she could feel his heart breaking. What she couldn't understand was, why had he given the card to her?
Quickly she put the card back and headed into the shower. If she was going make it to school on time she would have to hurry.
He stood outside the mansion, watching her leave hurriedly for school. Slowly he took the cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the floor, careful to stub it out with his boot as he walked towards the entrance of the luxury building.
For 2 weeks he hadn't been able to stop thinking of her. He knew it would be hard, but somehow he had to get close to her, he wanted to know everything about her. This wasn't like his other girlfriends, this time it wasn't going to be a game. He had only ever felt like this once before…
He shrugged away that thought immediately.
"Môn dieu" he muttered to himself. What was he about to get himself into?
Slowly he walked up the steps to the large oak door. Taking in a deep breath he rang the bell and waited to be acknowledged.
Slowly, after waiting for a short period of time, the door opened. He was greeted but a tall, beautiful, dark skinned woman.
"Gambit?" she exclaimed suddenly. In one quick action he was greeted by a second being, as well as 3 sharp claws.
"bonjour mes amis" he said, trying to flash his charming smile but failed at the sight or Logans blades moving down his torso.
"what d'ya want bub?" growled Logan. He could smell the booze and smoke off him, he didn't trust him at all.
"Remy jus wan t'see the proff, he hope dat mebe he woul let dis poor ol cunjan join de x men?"
The two current x men eyed the enemy carefully. Can he be trusted?
"of course, ill take you to him right away, everyone is welcome here" she looked at Logan, giving him a signal to back down. Logan drew back he claws and walked off towards the garage mumbling to himself.
"tanks fo dat stormy, Remy be truly grateful" he said, now able to flash her his winning grin.
She laughed and turned around to walk up the stairs. "right this way Remy" she called, "and don't think ill let you get away with the 'stormy' remark." she added with a serious but friendly tone.
Remy just carried on grinning.
Outside the professors office Remy leant forward to knock.
come in Gambit came a voice in Remy's head. Confused he opened the door and walked inside.
"Ah Gambit, how can I help?"
