So here we go. I am attempting a Gambit/Rogue story. Since I am extremely mad that they weren't together in the movies, let alone meet.

So this will have references to the comics, and there will be characters that were in the comics but weren't in the movies.

Another big change is that while Gambit is still a charmer, and flirtatious, however he is not the ladies man he's portrayed to be.

I do not own anything x-men related…Now on with the show…or story.

"Do you know why you're here?" A voice echoed in a room full of darkness.

He tried to concentrate as hard as he could but he couldn't see the person's face.

"No? Well you are here because you possess a power that poses a threat to mankind."

"Who are you?" he asked his captor.

"My name is Col. William Stryker, and I will be addressed as so."

"Where am I…colonel?" he asked Stryker.

"A mutant research center that is designed to study the uprising mutant phenomenon and contain it."

"So basically, you bag an tag mutants, like me. Den you dissect us like lab rats."

"Yes." Stryker answered plainly

"You're sick! You call us animals, and you're the ones playing Dr. Frankenstein!" he shouted as he struggled in his chains.

"Quite the temper you've got there, Mr. LeBeau. Or whatever your name is."

"What dat supposed to mean?" Remy asked.

"We know that you were taken in off the streets at a young age by a Jean-Luc LeBeau. That you were abandoned at birth. Must have been difficult…having the knowledge that you were abandoned because of those things right there." Stryker said pointing at Remy's red on black eyes.

That was it. Remy sprung from his seat. Had it not been for the 4 guards and handcuffs holding him back, he would have gotten to Stryker.

Stryker smirked, "You know that collar around your neck is a wonderful thing. Not only does it negate your ability to blow this place to hell…" he started as he pulled a remote, "but it also will send 100 volts of electricity through your body if you do anything stupid." With that Stryker pushed the button and Remy collapsed to the floor. He felt himself go limp. His whole body burned and he couldn't get it to stop. After what felt like hours, but was really only seconds, it stopped. Remy gasped for air.

"Get it out of my sight." Stryker told the guards, as they hoist him up, drag him to his cell, and toss him in.

He crawled to the corner of it and lied down. He still felt like he was on fire, and if he made any type of movement it would get worse. He had never felt this type of pain before, and he knew it was just the preview for what was to come.

Suddenly he felt someone grab his hand through the cell next to his and whisper in the softest voice.

"It'll be okay."

Remy jolted up from his bed gasping and panting. He took deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down. He was sweating…a lot. So he stepped out of his bed and walked to his apartments balcony. It felt good to feel the cool night air on his chest.

It had been 2 years since he had escaped the labs, but he feared the memories and nightmares would never leave. It had been the same nightmare every time. His first day in the place over 4 years ago. Everything about the dream was real except for…her. The girl who had appeared every time and assure him he would be fine. Those three words she had said had given him hope. He didn't know her, he wasn't even sure if she really even existed, but he trusted her. He prayed that he may one day meet her, he may one day see her face. The face that matched that soft, and beautiful voice. Her hand was so soft and delicate, yet it was cold.

'It felt so real.' He thought as he stared at the hand she had touched. She had to be real. Why would he have the exact same dream of her for the 228 time.

He glared at his watch. It was 3:45 in the morning and the city of New Orleans was as awake as could be.

"No way I'm going back to sleep." He said aloud as he went back inside to change his clothes.

He left his apartment and started walking to his favorite casino. He was almost there when 2 guys came from behind and hoist him into an alley. He was held up against the wall, and just as he was about to intervene, a third man came out from the shadows.

"Well well well, if it ain't the famous Remy LeBeau." The man said

"Julian, long time no see." Remy said back

"Shut up scum, you're on our turf, Jean-Luc send you here?" Julian asked

"Non, Gambit been inactive wit da thief's for 5 years. You know dat."

"That don't mean nothin'.

"It means dat I want nothin' to do wit either guild." Remy answered

"After what you did to Bella Donna?"

"And just what did Remy do?" he asked

"You betrayed her."

"I see, A week before da wedding I catch her banging some ex, and now suddenly I'm the da bad guy."

"you lie, my sister would never do that, you just up and left."

"Fine. Tell da bitch I'm sorry. And to get over herself."

Julian punched Remy in the stomach.

"I'm going to enjoy this." Julian said as he drew a knife out of his pocket.

"I wouldn't do dat if I was you." Gambit warned

Julian smirked. Gambit smiled as he sprung free of Julians two body guards and elbowed them in the face. They were out cold. Gambit took his hands and adjusted his trench coat. When he was done he reached into his pocket and pulled out a metal rod. Julian watched as the rod extended itself till it was 6 feet long.

"What da matter Julian?" Gambit asked as he twirled the staff around his finger.

Julian charged toward Gambit, and Gambit swung his staff into Julians side. He watched as he flew 100 feet into a brick wall.

Gambit hopped along the sides of the buildings and landed at Julians feet. With one hand he hoist Julian up and with the other he charged his staff full of energy till it glowed magenta. He placed the staff at Julian's jaw.

"Go home Julian. Next time I won't be so merciful." He said letting go of Julian.

"Go to hell." Julian spat through gritted teeth.

Gambit then turned around and smashed his staff into Julian's head, knocking him out cold.

"You know nothing of hell." Gambit said coldly as his staff shrunk. He placed it back in his coat.

"Assassins." He muttered as he continued down the street.

5 years, it had been 5 years since he left the guild, and they're still after me. He was 18 then and about to marry a woman named Bella Donna Boudreaux , then he caught her cheating so he packed his bags and left, never looking back. 1 year later he was captured by men who discovered that he was a mutant. 2 years later he escaped their custody. 6 months after that a man named Logan enlisted him in helping to take down the mutant research center that he was kept at. Then Logan disappeared, never to be seen again. That was 18 months ago, and things were finally starting to settle down.

However what Remy LeBeau didn't realize was that very soon his life would change forever.
