Hello. This is my new fanfic. It's going to be written in 3rd person. I just can't get myself to write in 1st person…so sorry. Anyway. As the story begins you should know that Remy and Rogue are together, Rogue has absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers, and she has some degree of control over powers. This is NOT a sequel to Love is Overrated, because I'm not done with that one yet. This is completely separate. You know the usual disclaimer…I don't own anything yadda yadda yadda. With that let the story begin!
For What It's Worth
It Came as a Letter
Remy sat on the couch with his arm around Rogue. They were watching an infomercial that was trying to get them to buy some grill that reduced fat content or something. But it didn't matter what they were watching so long as Remy and Rogue were together.
Rogue curled up next to Remy and let her hand wrap up in his. She had long abandoned wearing gloves since she found out a way to control her powers. Although she couldn't control them when she was angry she managed to when she was happy or calm.
Remy looked down at her and his eyes met hers. They had been together for at least six months now and he still managed to get lost in her emerald eyes. She looked back at him and she was also lost in thought.
Neither one of them was sure how the infomercial was so easily forgotten. But they managed to fall asleep next to each other on the couch. Remy woke up when he heard a soft shink. Wolverine was standing over the couple with a deadly look in his eyes.
"If you know what's good for you Gumbo, youll get offa Rogue right now."
"But Remy's not on cherie."
Remy protested but got off of the couch all the same. The movement made Rogue stir. She looked from Logan to Remy and back again.
"Logan?" She asked sleepily, "what are ya doin' here?"
Logan looked as if he was about to murder Remy when he reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. It was wrinkled and looked as though someone had tried to open it.
"I came to give Gumbo here a letter that came this mornin'."
He handed the letter to Remy and turned his back to leave the room.
"Monsieur Logan, it has been opened!"
"But it hasn't been read, Gumbo, trust me."
Logan left the room without another word. Remy gave Rogue an odd look but proceeded to rip open the partially opened letter. He looked down and he frowned. The more he read the more the corners of his mouth dropped. Rogue looked at Remy wondering what the bad news was.
"What is it, Remy?"
Remy looked back at her. He had forgotten she was there. He looked down at the letter and sighed.
"I have ta go back ta Louisiana."
Rogue gave him an odd expression that he couldn't read.
"Why do ya need ta go back there?"
Remy said nothing; he stuffed the letter in his pocket and walked up the stairs.
"Remy LaBeau don't you turn your back on me!"
She could feel her powers start again and silently cursed as she put her gloves back on. She didn't bother walking she flew to the top of the stairs and landed right in front of Remy.
"Why do ya need ta go back there?"
Remy, once again pushed past her and kept on walking deep in thought to his room.
How did she know Remy was here?
Remy turned his doorknob and took no notice of Piotr and Kitty sitting at Pitor's desk. Or hear Kitty ask if something was wrong. He just sat on his bed and pulled the letter out again.
Rogue came into the room and gave Pitor and Kitty a look that said 'I'm-about-to-kick-some-Cajun-ass-so-you'd-better-leave.'
The couple left and Rogue closed the door behind them.
"Swamp Rat, what is your deal?"
Remy just looked at Rogue and sighed again.
"I told ya chere. I have ta go back ta Louisiana."
"WHY?!"
Remy once again didn't answer her. She continued to ask him why to no avail for the next several minutes until Piotr came up to tell them that dinner was ready. Rogue practically flew, no wait she did fly, out the door and down the stairs desperate to get away from Remy. Remy, however, hardly moved. His eyes still fixed on the letter.

Belladonna sat across from Julien and she said,
"You sent de letters non?"
"Oui."
"Good. Remy'll be here in de next few days."
"An' more importantly, so will his femme."

Rogue sat next to Remy, but to everyone's surprise the two didn't talk much. Not at all actually.
After dinner Rogue pulled Remy aside and told him,
"Look, if ya really have ta go back ta Louisiana, then Ah'll come along."
Remy shook his head.
"Non, cherie. Remy has ta go by himself."
Rogue took a step back. It was a good thing she had her gloves or she would've drained him when touched her hand.
"Remy. I'm not gonna let ya do this by yourself."
"You have to cherie."
"Remy, we're together now. We have to face our problems together!"
"Dis ain't your problem. I promise when I get back…"
"Don't bother Swamp Rat! If ya won't take me with ya then it won't matter whatcha do when ya get back."
"Rogue what are you talkin' 'bout?"
Rogue looked away so he wouldn't see the tears forming in her eyes.
"Ah won't wait for ya to open up ta me foreva Remy. Maybe this'll be good fo' us."
Remy nodded his head solemnly. Rogue started to leave then Remy spoke up,
"Rogue. For what it's worth, I love ya."
Rogue nodded but said under her breath,
"Too bad it ain't enough right now."
