A/N – (grins) Guess.
Queen of Hearts
Rogue stares at the worn card in her bare hand, slowly turning it over and over, as if memorizing the creases and tears will somehow give her what she always wishes for.
Maybe, maybe not.
She doesn't seem to notice my presence, but I highly doubt this is true. In fact, I'm pretty sure she does know I am here.
Because, if she is as smart as I think she is, then she understood the words I said when I gave that card. Not that people would be watching over her, but that I would.
She releases a soft sigh and stands on the balcony. I barely hear her, but I manage. "Good night Swamp Rat."
She disappears inside and I smile. "Bonsoir," I whisper to the empty balcony and slip down, so Wolvie doesn't catch me.
I'm through the security system and over before I have to think twice.
