THAT BELONGS TO MARVEL!

Certain Arrangements

She felt the telepath enter her mind and ask her to join the rest of the x-men in his office. Like everyone else she had no idea what was going on, she hoped that she wasn't in trouble for stealing Scotts' convertible the other day just to go on a joyride. Since being here over the last year rather than the Brotherhood Rogue had gotten into trouble so many times she had lost count. Rogue hated the rules here, but anything was better than following under Magneto's rule. He hated the human race, wanted them all to bow down to mutants, and to cause humans pain. She didn't want that whatsoever, so she had opted to switch sides and come to Xavier's School for Gifted Mutants. "Sigh", I definetely knew this was coming Rogue heaved out.

"Rogue, thank you for finally joining the rest of us." As I was just telling the rest of this small group, I have a special mission for you, Logan, and Bobby to go on." Rogue looked at Bobby and Logan with her eyebrows raised, something suspicious was going on. "And so you going to tell me professor or did ya call me in here just to tell me that I was going on a mission with Iceboy over here?" Ever since her and Bobby had broke up because he had cheated she wasn't very friendly with him. Bobby just looked at the ground and said nothing. It wasn't that he didn't love Rogue, he just wanted to get a sample of what he was missing out on. He looked up to have Logan eyeing him with a dirty look. After breaking Rogue's heart he was lucky that the wolverine didn't cut his heart out and fry his ass.

"Well, I have recently learned of a new mutant apart of a guild that I would like to recruit to our team," The professor had said looking at them hoping this would stay as quiet and solemn as it was at the moment. "Listen prof, if you don't hurry up I'm gonna walk right out here and go watch my football and drink my beer up in my room." "My team is playing right now and I sure as hell don't want to miss it" Logan had said so loudly Rogue was sure that the whole house had heard he had beer in his room. If the boys weren't afraid of Logan his beer would sure be gone before he even had a chance to get a sip. "Okay, okay I get that you would like to hear this out quick." " Well this mutant goes by Gambit and his abilities would fit to the team, the only problem is the only way to recruit him is through an arranged marriage between him and Rogue." "The guild will be picking the best female to fit their what they called talents." " I would like you to introduce Rogue as your daughter and Bobby as your son Logan." The growls from Logans throat had overpowered Rogues lost voice. "Listen here bub, I don't want my Marie marrying no one she don't want to. I don't care if the guy is worth the world, she ain't gonna do it." Rogue looked Logan up and down, he hardly ever called her Marie in front of anyone. It was his private name for his newly adopted daughter.

Fidgetly with her fingers and scuffing her feet on the ground Rogue looked up at the professor and Logan. She could see all the veins popping up in Logans forward and his knuckles pure white. "Logan, I... I.. Don't I get a say in this?" I'm not that little anymore, Come on, I mean I just turned 17 and if not me who else can do it" The shyness started melting away and than the fiery brunette with her white stripes got loud. "No other female here is old enough Logan, what would you have him marry Kitty whose only 15 or one of the other youngins?Huh?" "No ya sure wouldn't, the only other choices are Storm or Jean, and Jean is married to Scott." "So out the window goes everyone, but me" Inside she was shaking like a leaf, she didn't want to marry anyone she didn't love.

"Well, Rogue I must say if your willing to go along with this, than I will give them a call and let them know I am sending you all down to Louisana to be presented." "I honestly did not expect you to accept this so easily, my dear." "But before you all go there, I must tell you a bit of important information, This other female that he is being presented with comes from a rival guild of theirs." "That guild is the assassins guild and they are the thieves guild." Xavier calmy stated to the three. The professor looked at Rogue's calm composure, Bobby seemed to become tense, all the while Logans veins were popping out along his skin and he looked like he would explode. "My dear Rogue, you must show them that your gifts would help them out and that the marriage between the two of you, would benefit the Thieves Guild more than it would to the young lady from the Assassins Guild." Rogue mutely nodded her head, taking this all in. She knew she was in for it. This was definetely the craziest thing she had ever done, or would do.

24 hours later:

There the three of them were on the blackbird going to Lousiana. "Hmm, so this man is a swamp rat!" Rogue had said to herself. He better prove himself useful to our team or I'm going to beat everyone's ass involved in this situation. Rogue looked out the windows to see the ground where they were landing and a few shirtless Cajuns ready to escort them back to the house. Mentally muttering to herself,"What have I got myself into?"
