This is my fanfic for all my fellow ROMY fans who have been disappointed by the way the Rogue/Remy relationship has been treated by Marvel over the past few years! Inspired by the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, this is a dark, sexy, funny, anti-Rogneto, and adventurous ROMY story.
It also co-stars everybody's favorite goofball, Iceman!

- I do not own Marvel or its characters...blah blah, y'all know the drill.

Chapter 1
"Rogue,…please say something…." Storm said softly. Rogue gave her a blank look that Storm tried in vain to decipher.
Nobody on the team had ever seen Rogue like this before. This Southern Belle was never afraid to sass, swear, or punch somebody when she got angry. Since everything went down, she just stayed silent.
"Storm…" Remy shook his head , "Please, don't…."
"I was only following orders." Storm whispered and lowered her head.
The whisper was still audible enough for Remy to hear. He leaned over to Storm ."Yeah, you may have followed orders…but you failed her as a friend."
Rogue fought back her emotions and started walking over to Remy's motorcycle. She was stopped dead in her tracks by Cyclops.
"Rogue, you can't leave. You are in the middle of a mission…."
Remy jumped in between them. "You get any closer over here, an' I swear I'll break that other arm."
Cyclops looked down on the sling on his right arm…...the arm that Remy had broken a few days earlier. He retreated his last few steps, but continued to speak, "Come on , Rogue. Is Gambit doing all the talking for you now?"
Rogue clenched her fists and looked at her teammates standing in the garage. They all waited for some sort of reply from her. She had nothing to say to them.
Emma put her hand on Scott's shoulder and shook her head. She always had a hard time reading Rogue's thoughts, but she could sense her feelings. She could sense a wild mix of emotions of anger, hurt, and disappointment rumbling inside of Rogue.
" Stay out of my head. " Rogue muttered under her breath. She reached her gloved hand out towards Remy. He could feel all her tension in her palms as he helped her mount the back of his motorcycle.
Cyclops became infuriated with her defiance, "You can't leave! You have to complete the-"
" Screw your mission!" Gambit growled as he mounted his bike. "You only give a fuck about her when it's convenient for you."
The professor reached towards Cyclops ,"Scott, stop. Let them go."
Remy started his motorcycle and the two rode off with lightning speed without looking back.
Storm leaned over to the professor, "Gambit told me they are just leaving for a while…They said they might come back…"
The professor looked up at Storm's sad face.
"..But I don't think that's true…. They are not coming back, are they….?"
The professor had no reply.
As they rode off, Rogue held tightly onto her boyfriend's waist….tighter than usual. They sped along for a good hour or two before Remy pulled over. He could always sense when Rogue needed him. On top of all the noise and vibrations of his motorcycle, he could feel her body shaking around his. His premonition proved to be true when he saw the tears streaming down her face. He pulled her off the bike, and she collapsed in his arms, sobbing loudly.
His embrace was the warmest she had ever felt. He kissed her on the top of her head and held her tightly towards his chest.
" Ah- Ah can't believe I had to leave another home again…" She cried into his shoulder.
"This time is different, ma cherie." He whispered in her ear. " This time you are not alone. I'm here wit' you. " He pulled back a little and cupped her face between his hands. Through all those tears, he managed to make her smile. "Dis is a new life. Our new life together…. "
Rogue's smile grew bigger and she wiped her tears away. She started making her way back over to the motorcycle.
"You sure you don' need some more time to let it all out?" Remy asked , "You been bottlin' it up."
Rogue smiled again. " Maybe a little later….Ah'd rather we get started on that new life together."
Remy smiled back at her and mounted his bike. He looked over his shoulder at her before he started it again.
She wrapped her arms around him and playfully started singing parts of the lyrics from their song.
"Man oh man, you're my best friend. I'll scream it into the nothingness…"
Remy laughed, kissed her on the top of her head, and threw some lyrics back at her . "Girl, I never loved one like you." He started the bike.
Knowing how much he loved her practicing her French, Rogue leaned into his ear. "Je t'aime plus que tous.*"
(* "I love you more than anything else * )
With that, they took off again on the open road, heading west.
