Well in case you were wondering I don't own the x-men they belong
to Marvel. I am simply borrowing and playing with them and I am making no
profit from it. This is my first fic and I hope you enjoy it. Please
review thanks.
Gambit knew he was being followed. Gambit estimated that he or she, but he was guessing he if it was who he thought it was, was just ten steps behind him. He thought someone was tailing him earlier but now he was certain. He silently turned another corner and tried to quicken his pace. It seemed to be to no avail though because no sooner had he almost reached the front door when he heard Cyclops call his name, "Gambit, we have a mandatory meeting in the war room, immediately." Remy inwardly sighed something about the way Cyclops had stressed immediately told him this was gonna be a long meeting. So much for a fun night on the town he thought to himself glancing longingly at the front door to the mansion, he was so close. He wondered briefly if he made a run for the front door what would Scott do? He looked back at Scott's stern look, crossed arms and tapping foot and figured he would tackle him. Gambit chuckled to himself imagining it, when Cyclops interrupted his thoughts. "Well?"
Gambit tried to feign ignorance, "Oh, you meant now, immediately." Gambit started to walk back towards Cyclops and when he had stepped in front of him Cyclops began walking directly behind him. Gambit said, "So why did you call 'dis meeting? Did you sense I was about to have fun or did something actually happen?"
"I will tell you that in the meeting." Cyclops said sarcastically.
Gambit looked at Scott surprised that he had attempted a funny, "I'm disappointed in you Summers such attitude. What are you hanging with a bad crowd?" Cyclops grinned pointedly at Gambit,"It's been said." Scott smiled at Gambit's laughter at his attempt at humor. They made the rest of the way to the war room in companionable silence.
Wolverine looked up seemingly pleased that Gambit had been caught. If Wolverine wasn't gonna have any fun then nobody else should either. "Did he catch up to you Gumbo?" Wolverine said in typical ribbing, buddy fashion. Gambit shrugged before he responded, "Unfortunately."
As they walked in Gambit noticed that everyone else was already in the war room. Gambit quickly took his eye off of Rogue's old seat. After what had gone down in Antarctica things were strained between him and everybody really, but especially Rogue. When he had come back with Storm to stay Rogue had taken a leave of absence. They hadn't heard from her since. She had said for no one to look for her and every one had honored her request but even with everything that had happened between them he still missed her most of the time. Most of the x-men blamed him for Rogue leaving, among other things, so at times things could be very stressful around here.
Gambit felt someone staring at him and he followed the stare to Warren, Betsy and Bobby who were glaring at him from one side of the room. Storm noticed the exchange and piped up, "Sit by me my friend." Gambit looked at the hateful trio as he called them in his head and gave them a big pointed smile before sitting down next to Stormy. Gambit figured they had a I hate Gambit club with pins and everything, not that he blamed them, most of the time he wanted to join too. He smiled warmly at Storm as he said, "Thanks." Storm smiled warmly back at Remy in response.
Gambit looked around at the assembled x-men over half of them were in there bed clothes which really wasn't any surprise considering the lateness of the hour it was only the night owls like him who were still dressed. Gambit grinned inwardly at all the half naked women around him not that the spandex really left anything to the imagination. Jean in particular caught his eye not really so much about what she was wearing which was a purple silk robe that every so often the shoulder strap would slip down and you would see there was a slinky piece of lingerie underneath. It was more her attitude like she was tense. Maybe Scott wasn't doing it for her or maybe he hadn't been allowed to finish. It was then that he took in Jeans full appearance, her hair was tussled, her clothes were wrinkled, she seemed a little flushed so apparently they had been interrupted. This must be serious Gambit thought he couldn't see even uptight Summers passing up some time in the sheets with Jean. Cyclops started talking at the front of the room so Gambit turned his attention to him.
Most of it was routine information that could have waited so it seemed the fearless leader was stalling about what he really had called this meeting for. Cyclops paused before continuing,"Before we go on to the main reason I called this meeting...Does anyone have some concerns, questions or comments?" Gambit took a steadying breath this was usually the part of the meeting where one of the I hate Gambit Fan club complained about him and something he had done or not done. Cyclops looked around the room waiting for a response. Gambit noticed he looked at the trio but apparently they were more interested in the news that Cyclops had been stalling to tell then in complaining about him for a change. Cyclops made one final sweep of the room and when no one said anything he seemed pleased then looked grim again as he began,"Well we have good news and bad news. The good news is we have heard from Rogue." Immediately murmurs of shock and joy went around the room at this new information, they hadn't heard from her in months. Cyclops let that sink in before he continued, "The bad news is she is apparently in peril." Gambit went white and unfortunately he felt all eyes on him, some were concern, but others were anger. Gambit made a point to strengthen his shields, his empathy was doing overtime with all the emotions flying around the room. Cyclops continued, "Rogue made contact with Jean briefly this morning. Jean felt her psychically cry out in pain but it was so short a contact that she doesn't know where Rogue was or who she was with." Everyone sat back stunned. Cyclops said grimly, "We at this time are going to keep monitoring the astral plane for something else from Rogue but until then everyone needs to stay at or near the mansion so we can deploy to save her immediately. Understood?" Nods went around the room. Cyclops seemingly satisfied said, "Meeting adjourned."
Well what did you think? Any part you really liked? Are there certain characters you would like to see? Please review if you want to see more. Thanks.
