This is a Remy/Marie Rogue/Gambit Fanfic XD
I own nothing but the story ideas. I am really just a big fan :D
*Takes place after X1*
"It wasn't a secret that Rogue had a huge crush on Logan. So, is it any wonder that after absorbing his thoughts and his memories, she can't help but feel as if she needs to help him fix his past? She meets a mutant named Temponaut, whose has the ability to control and manipulate time. Temponaut offers his help to Rogue, telling her he'll give her as many chances as she wanted to go back and change Logan's past. But, every time she goes back, she meets a man who calls himself Gambit. And every time, she finds herself falling for him more and more. But, Temponaut has a sinister plot and Rogue is nothing more but a pawn in his game. What's going to happen now…and why, when every time she goes back to the future, she finds no trace of Gambit in her time?"
Both Sides of Time
There were so many different nightmares, it was difficult distinguishing which one was which. They blended together sometimes. Other times, she could separate some of them. It was always about him.
Logan.
Nightmares were repeated over and over and ever since she'd absorbed him, that's all that she dreamed about. It was either about the experimentation or about his life after. His life with the X-men and Jean.
To say she was jealous of the redhead would've been stating the obvious, especially since Logan had left and both women seemed to be pining for him. She wondered what Professor Summers thought about his fiancé wanting to bang Logan? She wondered if he even noticed.
She kept her eyes closed, remnants of the nightmare still flashing underneath her eyelids. She stretched in the bed slightly, moving limbs and muscles that ached. Next time her and Bobby sparred, she promised herself she was going to get him back. She used his pathetic break-up from her as an excuse to why she was hitting him so hard. Call it first-love's pain or something. She scoffed. She wasn't in love with Bobby, good god, but she'll let everyone else think so. It would make him look like the bad guy in this scenario, especially since he'd broken up with her to go after that new mutant…what was her name? Jubilee?
She rolled around in bed, the images from the last nightmare fading as she opened her whiskey-colored eyes to the weak light filtering through the shaded window. She laid in bed for a while, gathering her thoughts, until Logan's heightened senses smelled someone standing outside the door. She shifted, sliding off the bed as she pulled up the sleeves of her pajamas. She stepped over to the mirror, wincing when she saw darker circles under her eyes. Had she lost weight? She hadn't noticed. She reached out, picking up the foundation as she tried to hide the toll the nightmares were beginning to take on her.
When the knock on the door came, she'd changed out of her sleeping clothes and was tugging on the silk gloves she always kept by her sides. "Coming!" She yelled, tightening her left glove as she readjusted the green long-sleeved turtleneck.
She opened the door and only let out a small yelp as Kitty's small body hurled into hers. "Oh. My. GOD! Can you believe freakin' Jubilee?" Kitty asked, releasing Rogue as she did so. Rogue only smiled as the small body vibrated with fury. Kitty continued deeper into Rogue's room and jumped on her bed, crossing her legs as she got comfortable.
"So, like, I was talking to Jubilee and she was all…" Kitty drawled on, her voice comforting as Rogue continued to try and forget the dream. She stared at the small child, a friend in Rogue's twisted life. A rare friend. While other mutants were afraid to touch her, Kitty embraced it…literally. Never afraid of what might happen to her, Kitty always touched Rogue, either a small touch on her arm or a hard hug. The child was like a wind-up toy that never lost juice. Even though Rogue hadn't been exactly cordial the first time they met, Kitty had pushed on and now, Rogue was glad she had.
"…and Jubilee definitely looks like a freak with her new hair. Did I tell you? She got it died blonde! Haha, she said that Bobby liked blondes better." Kitty finished, snorting as she glanced up at Rogue. The smile faded from her lips as Kitty continued staring at the taller mutant.
At first glance, no one would ever assume Rogue was her best friend. Sure, Kitty had a lot of friends in the mansion, but the quiet recently-solemn Rogue was the only one Kitty actually considered a best friend. Most people would ignore Kitty when she went on one of her famous rants or even went as far as to tell her to shut up when she was talking too much. But, Rogue was different. Rogue had the ability to sit and listen to people as they vented their problems and even offered good advice most times. Kitty always wondered if Rogue ever notice she'd been crushin' hard on her ex, and she always wondered if Rogue cared that she had been crushin' on him. If she had, Rogue didn't hold it against her and Kitty was grateful. She didn't know what she'd do if she lost Rogue as a friend.
Kitty now contemplated the older girl and saw the dark circles Rogue had so desperately tried to hide. "Nightmares again?" Kitty asked and saw the flash of surprise that crossed Rogue's face. "Come on, Rogue, I was the one who showed you the trick." Kitty said, standing up from the bed as she grabbed the foundation. She walked quickly over to Rogue and had to stand on her toes to reach her eyes. "You didn't put enough on." Kitty mumbled, adding more as she rubbed it in.
The only ones to know about the nightmares were Kitty and the Professor. The Professor because…well, you couldn't keep anything from him and Kitty because Rogue had to tell someone or she would go slowly insane. She kept her mouth closed as Kitty continued to hide the circles, cursing and telling herself next time to be more careful.
"Did the Professor say anything about the nightmares and them being linked to Logan?" Kitty asked, using her thumb to rub in the make-up more.
"He said I was just experiencing post-traumatic stress. The dreams and stuff should go away in a couple of weeks."
"Of course you're experiencing stress! That dunce Magneto…"
Rogue only smiled and rolled her eyes as Kitty continued on another tirade.
"Kitty, it's ok." Rogue muttered, placing her hands on top of Kitty's as they vibrated with fury. Kitty nodded once, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She took another before she spoke. "I just wished I'd been there so that I could-grr-argh!" Rogue smiled wider this time when Kitty brought her hands together around Imaginary Magneto's throat and rung it.
"Kitty-"
"Am I missing something?" A deep voice asked from her doorway. Kitty's eyes widened as she dropped her hands.
Rogue's hand came slowly up to finger the dog tags that were resting near her heart as she turned.
Logan leaned on her doorjamb and smiled softly. "Hey kid."
And so, this Romy story begins :D I understand that a lot of the characters aren't really like themselves. Unfortunately, as much as i love the interesting character that Rogue is, it's understandable that in every story i write, i can't really have the same Rogue over and over again or else you guys would get really really bored :( Plus, i really don't like writing the same Rogue every single time cause then i get bored. I try and keep some of the same traits, and sometimes in my mind i do mesh every different interpretation of Rogue that i've seen.
The dynamics of between the characters vary with every story, two of the same people can love each other in one story and hate each other in another one. I think it's cool to have such varying different personalities. As for Kitty, i must say, while i was writing this Evo Kitty jumped up in my mind XD
