Rogue sighed as she heard Scott's car hastily making its way up the Institutes driveway. Cyclops had been sent to retrieve a new mutant from some state near France. She bent over to pick up a spanner to adjust the gears on her new motorbike.
'Oh yay, another annoying, immature mutant child to harass me." She thought frustrated.
She did not even bother to turn around when she heard the car door open and Scott yelling at the passenger before storming inside claiming the newcomer could find his own way in.
"Nice view there Chere," He commented his head slightly tilting to the side, a mischievous smirk across his face.
Rogue stood up abruptly observing whilst glaring at the invader.
She was so to speak in shock.
In front of her was a man not a boy; he had to at least be around the early twenties his auburn hair hanging over his black sunglasses. She did not dare observe his height and body, as it was highly possible that he would take her glances the wrong way.
She snapped back into the present as she noticed him stepping closer to her. She instantly stepped back until her body found the wall.
"It's Rogue by tha way, not Chere." She seethed hiding her lack of comfort.
"Aw but Chere suits you so well." He smirked.
"Ah'm not yours either! Now clear off!" She glared intensively at him as he neared even closer towards her.
"Ah, ah, ah!" The man said playfully.
"What do ah have tah do tah make yah leave?" Rogue asked frustrated as she went to remove the glove on her right hand.
"Remy could tink of many a ting but he is not so sure Chere would want him to leave after…"
Rogue opened her mouth abruptly to retort but was cut off.
"Say, How old are you Chere?" He asked placing his hands on her waist.
She whacked his hands off of her and slapped him sharply across the face with her ungloved hand. The short amount of contact gave him not much of a shock but he dismissed it cautiously.
"Aw that's non nice Chere!"
Rogue was all set to yell at him when she had a better idea.
"Fourteen Sugah."
She held back any emotion at the shocked expression on Remy's face as she ignored the twitching of the sides of her mouth.
Remy observed her carefully trying his hardest to tap into her empathy.
"Non Chere you are playin' wid dis Cajun!" Remy gasped stepping back.
"Nope, now clear off!"
Remy was to shocked that he had hit on a femme seven years younger then himself to retort as he did what Scott told him, to find his own way in.
Rogue laughed as she saw him hastily walk off.

Rogue wiped her hands on her denim shorts before heading into the danger room for a team meeting.
She quietly crept in and made her way to her roommate and friend Kitty Pryde.
She was nearly bored to sleep by Scott and his rambling she was close to celebrating the finish of his speech when the new comer, Remy as she recalled stepped out from behind the door.
"Aren't yah gonna introduce Remy?" Remy challenged Scott as he watched the female half of the population glance him over. He smirked at them but reminded himself that he should find out their 'Details' before any harsh flirting began.
Scott however didn't look at all happy about being interrupted.
"Ah yes, meet our new 'team' member Gambit" He said grudgingly. Scott then grabbed Jean by the waist leading her up the stairs.
"Call Gambit Remy." He smirked.
Rogue rolled her eyes and headed out to the kitchen with Kitty.
Remy however was bombarded by questions from the female clan. He raised an eyebrow at this but soon got over it before entertaining the students until they were 'forced' into bed.
Remy however who had just reached the age of 21 was told by a big blue guy who was called Hank he was free to roam.
To his surprise when he reached the Lounge he saw Chere and a girl in plain Pajamas sitting in front of a rather large TV under a blanket.

He silently crept in observing what they were watching before making both girls jump when they heard the deep, thickly accented male voice.
"Oui are deux femmes like yourselves doin' up so late past your bedtimes?"
Before Rogue could stop her Kitty had opened her mouth.
"The older student are like, allowed to like, stay up later!" She happily replied.
This made Remy wonder just how young the others were if these femmes were only fourteen.
He wandered through the doors to the kitchen before raiding the cupboard for any sign of alcohol. He failed at finding it so he just settled for a soda before returning to the lounge.
He quietly sat down beside Rogue as he watched her out the corner of his eyes glare at him. He abruptly turned around when he saw her confused expression.
"Whah are yah wearin' yah glasses at night?" She asked.
"Remy has a fondness for them" He replied staring at the TV like it was interesting.
Rogue edged away from him and he moved closer. This continued until Rogue was barely inches away from Kitty.
"Yah know wha, Ah'm goin' tah bed!" She stood up.
Remy grinned and Kitty joined her.
Remy got up soon after following them to find the sleeping quarters. He tried to keep close to hear their conversations.
"So like Rogue! When are you going to like, take me for a driving lesson?"
It could easily be said that Remy was frozen to the spot as he caught himself from falling backwards down the stairs. He regained himself from the shock and smirked.
"Tricky Chere." He grinned.
