::Smiles:: Now on with the show.
This is an A/U Fic. A somewhat simple question with a strange or perhaps just lengthy answer that will lead
to a temporary solution. What if a certain Xmen went to a certain Scientist to seek her help in a life draining
situation. Would they be able to get the help they needed? Or would it be just another dead end to the
problem this particular person faces? If I have gotten your attention then good. Our story begins in
America at a School for the gifted, run by Professor Charles Xavier in upstate New York.
Chapter 1 Chance finding a Real Genius
The professor was in his study reading when he sensed that something was troubling one of his X men quite
deeply. But yet the one it troubled refused to come to him at the moment for help or advice.
~Rogue. I sense that you are upset about something. Know that I am here for you whenever you wish to
discuss it.~, the professor said to her telepathically.
"I will. Just not right now.", she said lowly knowing that he could hear her.
Then in the blink of an eye she flew off to God only knows where.
Beast was in his lab reading over some of his New science digests when a slight interruption occurred.
"Hey Beast what ya reading?", Jubilee asked walking in on him.
"Ah yes, the young every looking for answers. It is my weekly subscription to Science Digest. I must keep
abreast of all that goes on in the medical and scientific world.", Beast stated.
"Oh....Okay. Sounds a bit boring. I'll see ya later.", she smiled and then retreated out the door.
"The young....Always in a hurry, but never stopping to absorb the knowledge of life.", he stated to himself
and went back to his reading.
As Jubilee sped out the door she bumped into Storm who was walking down the hall.
"Oh Sorry Storm. I didn't see you.", she smiled slightly.
"Jubilee?....::she smiled slightly at the girl:: That is alright. Just slow down and watch where you are
going?", she stated and then continued on her walk down the hall way to her chambers only to walk past
another xman.
"Say Storm...You seen Rouge around anywhere? Gambit looking for her.", he asked.
"No, I'm afraid I have not seen her since earlier this morning. But I must admit she did look a bit troubled
when I saw her. I don't suppose you would know why?", She questioned him.
"Non....Gambit don't....That's why Gambit looking for her. Wanna talk to her and find out what's bodering
her.", he stated.
"I see. Well If I see her I will let you know.", she said and continued on down the hall.
Gambit in the mean time kept looking around for Rogue.
A few miles away on a large mountain ridge overlooking a steep precipice there stood a lone figure. Hair
blowing ever so slightly in the breeze as she contemplated what she must do.
"It's just not fair sometimes. I would give anything for one moment of happiness with you Remy than an
eternity of being alone and never able to touch another human being.", she said lowly to herself as a few tears
brimmed her eyes and threatened to break.
"God all I wants is just one moment. Is that so bad? I didn't mind it so much before but now, as I watch Jean
and Cyclops sometimes. I feel so alone. Why......WHYYYYY?!!!!", she cried out into the wind. But
received no answer back. She sat down and cried for a little while where no one would see her until she felt
she could not cry any longer.
By now the sun had started to set and it was slowly lowering itself behind the mountains while spreading its
rays like a paintbrush through the clouds and over the mountains. Turning some of them to a beautiful shade
of crimson, to a lovely orange intertwined with a bit of violet.
"Beautiful.", was all she could manage to say. But at that moment she began to feel a bit better. It seemed to
her as if the sun were doing this, spreading it's rays of lights and joy across the sky and over the mountains to
make her smile.
As the colors slowly began to fade, she stood and looked out into the heavens with a small smile and said
lowly, "Thank you.", then she turned and left flying off back for home.
Meanwhile back at the mansion, Gambit was getting real worried about Rouge:
He went marching into the professor's library.
"Professor. I can't find Rouge nowhere. Can you use Cerebro ta track her?", he asked worriedly.
"Calm down Gambit. She's already on her way back here as we speak. I can sense her getting closer with
each passing moment. She will be here soon.", he stated.
Gambit felt a small twinge of relief overcome him inside, but his cool exterior on the outside showed no
traces of it save his inadvertent speech of speaking in the first person instead of his usual third.
He turned silently on his heels and left the professor to wait for her.
By the time she got back it was already nightfall and she had expected most of everybody to be in their
rooms. But not Gambit. He was waiting outside the mansion by a small grove of trees. Waiting and
watching the skies for her to come back; when he finally saw a silhouetted figure against the pale moonlight lowering itself slowly to the ground.
"Cher there you are. Gambit was worried 'bout you. Where you run off too?", he questioned her.
"I just needed some time alone Gambit that's all.", she said and turned to walk inside.
"Rogue please tell Gambit what bodering you. Gambit wanna help if he can.", he stated in a calm tone.
"I.....I can't right now Remy. Maybe later.", she said and then flew off to her room before he could say
another word to her.
"Cher! ::He called but it was to late she was already gone:: Cher....What's wrong?", he asked lowly to
himself. Then finally retreated inside to his own room for the night.
Rogue couldn't sleep so she stopped by the kitchen to grab her a bite to eat. Which still didn't help so she
walked down the hallway and saw Beasts lights on in his lab.
She knocked on the door.
"Enter.", he stated.
The door opened and in she walked closing it behind her.
"Well to what do I owe this pleasure?", he smiled at her.
"OH I just saw yer light on and thought I'd come and sit a spell. See what you was doin'.", she said her
southern accent coming through quite clearly.
"Well I am reading my science quarterly. A new scientist has appeared on the scene. And she seems to be
quite brilliant. She is quite well known for her works in Japan. It seems that she has made a name for herself
even here now.", he stated showing her the article.
Rogue glanced at the article and read the heading.
"Dr. Bulma Briefs the next genius to light the way."
"Mind if I borrow that when yer done Hank?", she asked.
"Certainly. It is always a pleasure to share the knowledge that one has acquired with ones peers. I trust you
will enjoy it.", he smiled.
"Thanks Hank.", she smiled back.
"Actually if you would like you may borrow it tonight as long as you return it tomorrow. As it is written,
much study is a weariness of the flesh. And right now I have grown quite tired.", he smiled.
"Thanks Hank.", she said and got the book then headed out down the hall to her room.
"Not a problem.", he smiled and then cut off his light after she had left to retreat to his bed chambers.
She was headed back down the hall to her room when she saw a tall sleek muscular figure leaning against her
door.
"G.....Gambit....What....what er you doing up?", she asked shocked to see him there.
"Remy was hoping to see you cher.", he smiled eying her over for a moment in the halter she wore and long
sleek black satinny pants that covered her the rest of the way.
"You look nice cher. Tu regardez tres beau. (You look very beautiful.)", he smiled.
"Eh thanks Remy. But I need to get to my room now.", she said.
"Well dun Gambit get a good night kiss.", he smirked and stepped towards her.
"Remy! Why you always doing that?! You know I can't touch ya. I'd just end up draining your energy. Is
that what you want?!", she stated in a firm tone.
"Cher I would gladly get my energy drained to get one kiss from those beautiful lips.", he smirked.
"GAMBIT! No!", she frowned and pushed passed him into her room where she locked the door behind her
and walked over to her bed collapsing upon it.
"Aww Cher what's wrong? Gambit just trying to be friendly.", he said in a hurt tone.
"Go ta bed Gambit!", she shouted through the door then said nothing else to him.
"That's alright cher. Gambit can wait a while longer.", he smiled and retreated off to his room.
"Dang fool. He acts like he wants to get his energy drained.", she stated to herself knowing full well that it
was true.
Her depression slowly started to creep back in on her but she was determined to not let it overwhelm her. She instead buried her face in the magazine she got from Hank. As she read her troubles soon began to fade and she became more and more intrigued by this woman known as Bulma. Apparently she was a true genius. She graduated college when she was 16. She has a PhD in science, an MD in Genetics and Mechanics as well. And there were a few other things. She was really quite surprised, and when she looked at her in the magazine she seemed so young yet she was quite nice looking.
"Maybe....Maybe I'll just fly over there and see if she can help me. After all, I've tried all that they had to offer
over here including in other areas of the world. What's one more trip gonna hurt?", she said convincing herself to go.
"Yeah...I'll go first thing in the morning.", she said lowly to herself.
She closed the magazine then went to sleep.
Early the next morning she packed herself a small meal to take with her and had some breakfast for she left.
Then she went and grabbed a trench coat and backpack where she packed some spare clothing just in case.
She loaded everything up in the back pack then left a little note so no one would be too worried.
"Dear Professor, I've gone off for a little while. Needed some time alone. Don't worry bout me I'll be back
soon. Rogue. And Gambit don't you dare try ta follow meh.", she added at the end just for his benefit.
In her haste she had forgotten to take the magazine back to Beasts lab so it lay in her room on her dresser.
She slipped quietly out of the mansion and flew off fast as she could to the nearest airport. She figured she
could hitch a ride there part way on a plane then fly the rest of the way.
By the time she got to the airport the last plane for Japan had just taken off one of the ticketers told her.
"Alright thank ya.", she said and ran off out the door.
When she was sure no one was around she flew off after it. Sure enough a few minutes later she spotted it
flying overhead. She flew up to it and sat on one of the wings resting while it traveled.
