'Hey Logan no ah aint gonna tell ya where ah am so stop askin'.' She paused waiting for her growling friend to pester her more 'Yea ah know, listen just give ma a few more days ah'll come soon enough' She heard him sigh and then he said his normal good byes but this time along with a 'can't wait ta see ya again Strips' Rogue hung up the phone and flopped back down on her bed. Reaching under her pillow she pulled out a sandwich bag full of pictures. Rogue opened it and pulled out her favorite on, it was of Logan on his last birthday. None of them truly knew how old he was or at then when his birthday was. They just celebrated it on the day that he had joined the school. His hair was somewhat longer and it seemed that he had started a beard. She smiled as she traced the lit cigar sticking out of his mouth somewhat hidden by his bread. It had only been a week ago that she had finally given into Logan's begs and threats to find her and decided to return of a visit. Ah thought ah got out of there a long time ago. But no, oh well ah hope they don't think ahm staying long. She laid her head back down onto her pillow and gazing up at her ceiling of her one bedroom apartment, wondering to herself what things had changed.
Welcome home
Kitty ran down the halls searching for Piotr, he had sketched a picture of her in her sleep and she wanted it back before the house found out she still sucked her thumb. 'Peter I swear that if you don't give me that I'm like so not going out with you on Friday!' She turned the corner and skidded to a halt just before she walked right into him. 'Kitty is you alright?' she smiled as he slowly bent down next to her to help her up and examine her for injuries. She giggled lightly as she pulled the sketch book out of his hand and ran down the hall 'Like that so wouldn't have worked if you didn't like me so much!' Piotr smiled and ran surprisingly fast after. She glanced back at him and laughed again 'Peter ya could give Pietro a run for his money!' When she turned back around she stopped abruptly to find a dead end. She backed up against the wall and Piotr advanced slowly on her 'Kitty please give me my book' She smiled and stepped forward 'Not until I find that picture' She said coolly before fazing through the floor to god only knows.
Remy sat at the end of the couch which was overly crowded with mutants. He sighed and slowly pulled himself off and began his way towards his room, where he was sure no one else was going to be. As he rounded the corner a giggling Kitty fazed through him at the last second 'Um like sorry Remy oh and if you see Peter don't tell him that you saw me!' He shook his head as he entered his room, quite just the way he wanted it Aint dat girl too old fer de valley girl act? Remy guess what she be in her twenties now? He walked over to his dresser and picked up a small picture frame with his favorite picture in it, of Rogue (duh) He smiled as he traced the outline of her figure. It was only the day before that he had learning that she was to be returning. 'What's it been chere five years, two months an' eighteen weeks?' He said aloud thinking back to the last time he saw her with happiness. The day that Rogue had left Remy had tried to find her, but failed miserably and decided to go to her old home, the Xmen. Though he still had dated other women over her time gone, Remy's heart and mind were always on her and the last thing Pietro had told him.
Memory
'Rogue' Remy whispered, a minute later it finally snapped into his head what she meant. He grabbed Pietro by his shirt collar and held him up 'We can't let de Rogue go!' he said to the struggling Pietro 'So what do you want me to do about it!' He dropped him down and looked at him 'ya don't care for ma chere at all do ya!' Pietro smiled 'She doesn't want me she wants you I'll find someone else' Anger roes inside Remy as Pietro made her out to be a toy that he could simple toss aside 'What are ya talkin' about chere didn't pick she could still love ya' though he said it Remy hoped that it wasn't true, Pietro looked away trying hard not to scream but it was no use 'ya wanna know something Cajun remember when this whole thing started! Come on think back, when she was in the infirmary at my father's base?' Remy thought back, he hadn't been with Rogue the whole time, Pietro had been asked to take Rogue there not him, Pietro continued 'Well when she woke up ya wanna know whose name she said, do ya!' Pietro didn't wait for an answer though 'Yours! Not mine, not the person that had helped her, yours!' He shook his head 'She deserves better then you but I just she doesn't want it' with that said the speedster zoomed off leaving Remy to his thoughts.
End
He wasn't going to make the same mistake twice and lose her all over again.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Logan was still in touch with her, but only a thief knew that she sent pictures to him once a year. He reached behind the old eighteen year old picture of her and pulled out on that was from two years ago. Her hair was longer, with her white strips still there. She seemed to be showing more skin then Logan had liked for a couple of hours after the pictures had arrived Remy had over heard Logan talking or more or less yelled at her over the phone
The Phone Call
'What'd ya mean what'd I mean! I mean Strips that ya can't go around the world in a shirt' He struggled for the right words 'Like, Like that!' There was a long pause of his yells before he started up again 'Clam down don't tell me to' again a pause 'That's great kid but still be careful okay?' Remy didn't even need to sneak near the door to listen in. Logan was so loud that just about the whole mansion had head all but Jamie who was on a date at the time with somehow X23, which he truly couldn't believe.
Back
'Only a few more hours Remy guesses until ya be in his arms again' He sighed as he placed the picture back on his dresser 'Well den Remy guesses dat he also needs ta get ready' He walked over to his closet and pulling of his shirt took out his shower supplies. There was a faint sound of laughter coming from his door and Remy without a second guess knew who it was. He slowly without letting the person on the other side of the door know what he was doing approached it. Guess being de Prince of de Thief's has its ups he thought as he turned the knob quickly to find a shocked and overly blushing women wrapped in a bed sheet 'Um I'm so sorry but isn't this um Sr. Johns room?' Remy shook his head wondering to himself how did de aussy get such a –- no Remy Rogue be coming home tonight and ya gotta keep yer mind straight 'No fille but Remy can show ya where he be?' He pointed down the hall just as John ran towards them 'Um hey there Shelia um rooms down this way' She frowned 'I told you that my names not' He sighed 'Sorry sorry Sheila be right there' She huffed and walked down towards another room, not his. 'Well dat feille sure be a keeper' John looked at Remy with pleading eyes, it was at that moment that Remy realized that all he had on where fire designed boxers. His red hair seemed to be sticking up in all different directions like always and his well toned chest and arms looked a bit burnt 'Please mate don't tell Amara about this, please?' Remy sighed almost forgetting about the newest Xmen couple. 'John smiled 'Thanks mate!' and ran down the hall to stop the women from walking into another odd room. Man dat ones a keeper he thought again as he walked towards the boys bathroom Remy really hopped dat she had walked into de next room, Kurt an' Amanda where making out in der or so Kitty says There was a scream as he entered the bathroom and then the faint sound of John yelling 'Oh come on Shelia ya didn't know yet that this was a house of mutants!' Remy laughed to himself again realizing that Kurt probably didn't have his hollow watch on.
Few hours later
Rogue sighed as she knocked on the large oak door of Xavier's School for the Gifted did ah ever fall for that shit? There were students running around the yard, most she did not know. On her fifth knock she began to get annoyed 'Alrigh' she said aloud 'Ah lived here once an' ah don't think that ah need to knock fer' she finished her anger inside remembering that there where children around, as she walked inside. Most looked the same all but the computers that is. 'Strips!' She glanced up at the stairs and dropping her bags practically jumped into Logan's arms. 'She smiled as he swung her around before putting her down to get a better look at her. By now most of the original Xmen where behind them doing the same. Her hair, still brown and white stripped, reached her shoulders and curled at the ends reaching a bit past them. She wore baggy jeans that covered her, as everyone guessed combat boots. A black halter top that showed off her arms, neck shoulders, midriff which to everyone's shock there was a piercing on her belly button. Her face was makeup free, something most of them had never seen, and the thing that shocked them most was that she was holding hands with Logan, bare hands. Most of them remembered that before Rogue had left that her powers were still messed up and Rogue let it be left there, to all but Logan. 'Rogue its like so great to have you back' an overly excited Kitty yelled. Rogue glanced over at her old roommate.
Her hair was shorter, only reaching her ears and other then that it was the same Kitty. She looked next to her to see a smiling Russian with his arm around her waist that she remembered all to well. 'Hey there Piotr guessing that yer free from mags?' He smiled and nodded his head but his eyes kept falling back to Kitty. Rogue glanced around the room at all the old but new faces, though some were gone 'Guessing that Jean and Scott are on a date?' Kitty nodded 'and like Peter and me are off in a minute of ten' Kurt smacked the top of his head 'What is this the seventh time this week that you to have gone out, oh come on Peter do us all a favor and marry her already!' Piotr blushed slightly as he said his good byes to Rogue and was pulled up stairs my Kitty.
She sighed, old memories returning to her but shook them off 'so Logan ah guess ah should unpack in one of the guest rooms?' He smiled at her and was about to fallow her upstairs when the old Rogue came out a bit 'Logan ya don't have ta fallow ma all over the place ah aint leaving yet' He nodded realizing that she was right 'Good ta have ya back kid' She shook her head 'Logan ah aint a kid no more believe it or not now ah think that ah could actually do three of yer danger room classes' A wicked smile creped over his face 'That so?' She smiled 'ya and if ya want ah'll bet ya fer it!' She was almost at the top of the steps when she glanced back at the room. 'Thanks fer welcomin' ma back Professor' he nodded and rolled his chair out of the room and mentally spoke in her mind 'Good to have you back as well Rogue' She smiled as she was about to turn back around when something caught her eye. In the corner of the room Remy was leaning against the wall in shadow. Heat roes in her face as there eyes met. She could sense his pain, the pain that she had brought him by leaving. She pulled away from his eyes and quickly walked off, not looking back.
