The young boy slowly walked up to her and tugged on her sleeve. Marie looked down at the small child and grinned a soft grin, her face lighting up with warmth.
"Can I help you?"
"Are you... you... are.. areyoutheonecalledroguewhowasanx-manandthebestleaderwhoeverwas?"
His voice was squeaky and came out all in a rush, but from dealing with her kids and grandkids, Marie could follow it.
"That was a long time ago, sugar. And I was a lot younger. But, yes, they did use to call me Rogue."
The boy reached into his pocket and drew out plastic case holding one perfectly preserved card... a card with her picture on it. She groaned inside remembering the vanity of posing for that pic a long time ago.
"Would you please sign this for me, Miss Rogue?"
"Why I'd be delighted, to whom do i make it out?"
"Could you make it out to Xander, please?"
"Surely"
She fished out a pen as he muttered his name and she quickly signed it. he snatched it muttered a "thankyou" and ran off to show his loot to his friends.
She laughed a little and turned to the amused man at her side.
"Not one word, Remy. Not One Word."
