It's the little things that no one else notices, that really matter…
Chapter 1 - Acceptance
Remy POV
From the moment he came to Xavier's everyone accepted him, albeit in his or her own way. Comme d'habitude, the femmes swooned and Scott shit a brick whilst le loupe threatened his manhood rather graphically however la coquina, she just shrugged and said "Welcome tah Mutant Manor, Swamp Rat."
Shortly baffled by the fact that she did not throw him out of the property (as rumours told of the abilities gained during he stay with that fou, or (which would be more her style) drop him like a bad habit, the warm reception (which it was considering that it was the Rogue) threw him off completely.
He wanted to go after her and tease her, flirt with her and get her all riled up because it has been years and he realises that he has missed her. However, it is this revelation more than anything has stunned him. He, Le Diable Blanc, notorious man whore missed the Rogue… oh la la!
Rendered immobilised, he looses sight of his Chere as others began introducing themselves and it is only then that he notices the small smile on the Professors' face and curses himself for no doubt projecting in the presence of the world's most powerful telepath.
When he eventually catches up with her, he questions her about it. In her defence, she wears that I-know-something-you-don't-know grin and claims temporary insanity. For his part, he believes that after Apocalypse and Essex, God could come knocking at the door and she'd offer him coffee without missing a beat. When he told her his theory she just smiled and rebuked, "Ya but when le diable comes knocking, I offer him a room" and she sashays away with a grin on her face as if it's perfectly normal for the Rogue to flirt.

Rogue POV
It's been years since she last saw him. That night on the bayou, where they part ways at the end of their little adventure, Assassins got nothing on Apocalypse so it was in fact a little adventure. She missed him when they went after apocalypse but from absorbing him, she knew about his pending marriage so she tried to forget about him. And she did.
She was out flying when she heard the professor's message, not thinking much about it she swooped down onto the balcony of her room and headed directly, frazzled curls and all, to the Professor's Study. Flying to her was very personal and she was not comfortable flying into his room even if he had told her repeatedly that it was acceptable.
She wasn't surprised to find the rest of the team crowding the room, Phoenix on his left and Cyclops on his right. What she was surprised to see was a pair of ruby set in onyx staring at her. Such beautiful jewels, so familiar but where…?
"Well, lets get straight to the point then, team I'd like to inform you that Mr. LeBeau has finally accepted my offer and decided to join the team."
The responses to Xavier's statement were as varied as physical appearances of the Morlocks. The girls all giggled as he charmed them in a mixture of 'Fringlish, N'Awlings style', Scott looked like he was just forced to swallow the pole that we believe is stuck up his butt from time to time but Logan beat them all with a resounding Skint as he turned into Father Of The Year, Freddy Kruger style.
Shaking her head at her family's antics, she merely sighed and offered him a polite, "Welcome tah Mutant Manor, Swamp Rat" walking out of the room before anyone had a chance to comment on her uncharacteristic greeting.
She really didn't think it was a big deal anyway, after all she remembers her first night at the manor and Scott's friendliness really did help so she figured it was time to return the favour. Truth be told, she knew she was probably the one who knew him the best, albeit she really didn't know a lot but it was enough to make her feel responsible for making him feel welcomed. Damn, the professor psyche was acting up again no doubt.
AN: My first attempt at Romy, please Read n Review, feedback helps me improve. This is set in evo-verse so I'm not going to go into much angst, there are enough of those floating around. I'm looking at the lighter side of things. Depending on how far I go with this thing I will bump the rating up accordingly.
Remember I own nothing, only this plot however reviews get the Remy of your choice, a ruby eyed hunk whispering sweet Fringlish in your ears or a stunned diable in need of a place to stay.
