'New Recruit' it had been on his mind ever since Magneto had held a meeting to disuse just this, having a girl teammate join them. Remy Lebeau, the king of hearts, prince of the Thieves guild, he was called many things but now under the employment of his newest boss he was just simply called 'Gambit'.
As Remy laid down on his queen sided bed in his window less below ground bedroom in the newest base that Magneto kept his mind drifted off towards the new girl that was to come.
The Meeting Two Days Before.
As Sabretooth entered the room finally a pissed off look on his face which wasn't all that unpredictable considering the fact that it was there always Magneto began to speak "I called you all here with the news that because you all have been doing so poorly with fighting against Charles Xavier's Xmen I have taken it into my power as to add a new member to our disappointing team." As Magneto spoke these words Piotr passed around multiple folders.
When they all opened their folders they were all too shocked to speak, all but John that is. "Finally we're getting' ourselves a Shella now thank god ah was about ta go nuts mate!" he stated for the whole room to here with an odd proud ness in his words.
Remy on the other hand not minding a women joining the so far all men team actually read the information given in the folder, a thing that he was starting to wonder if John had forgotten to do over the years of being kicked around.
"Don' say da chere's power?" he asked raising an eyebrow with curiosity "Not much really ta be true jus name 'da Rogue' an' age eighteen?"
"What kinda name is Rogue?" Remy glanced across the table to see Magnetos son Pietro glancing down into the folder that Sabretooth hadn't cared to grab.
"Hey Remy thought dat ya didn't qualify enough ta be on dis team mate?" Remy asked causing John to laugh somewhat.
"Fuck you" he said and tried to look mad though all he ended up doing was look quite constipated instead.
"We shall be meeting Rogue in two days around noon and" he said glancing over at Remy "Pietro shall be joining us for this meeting"
As Remy turned onto his side he glanced over at his alarm clock in his bedroom it was six minutes until noon. A thousand and one questions ran though his mind as he walked across the large room that he shared with no one towards his closet and pulled off his t-shirt and jeans.
Why had Magneto hired someone so young?
What were her powers?
Her name was Rogue?
As Remy reached into the back of the closet he pulled out his uniform consisting of metal boots, a leather armor suit and his own personal tan trench coat. A thousand and one questions raced through Remy's mind as he walked towards his dresser and taking his can of axe sprayed himself somewhat
Why hadn't they received more information on this recruit?
Was she joining by force or was she going to get paid?
And over all; was she hot?
As Remy opened his bedroom door he was welcomed by Sir John who was doing just the same and walked out into the hallway as he strapped on his flame thrower to his back and arms.
"Hey mate so what ya think we're gonna get here?" he asked and just as he did so silent Piotr opened his door and began to walk past them "Hey mate aren't ya gonna suit up?" John asked and watched as Piotr looked back at him from the corners of his eyes and turned full metal and kept walking still not saying a word. "Gee what crawled up his ass an' died?" John asked but Remy ignored him and walked down the hall way towards the entrance of the under ground base.
"You shall all be on your best behaviors when our new recruit arrives understood?" Magneto asked loudly and forcefully to Colossus, Pyro, Quick Sliver and Remy who all stood in a drunk looking line. Sabretooth stood next to Magneto and Mastermind. There was a slight clicking sound that reached there ears coming from the other end of the room towards the entrance
"Well this is it mate now er never" John says as all their eyes fell to the opening doors.
She was wearing a black halter top, A short black skirt though black spandex shorts under. She had on knee high black Doc Martens laced up to the top, black elbow length gloves and fish nets covering her top half. Two white strips framed her face as for the rest of her hair which was brown and some what curly it fell down and hung out long to the middle of her back. Rogue left her straight just as long white strips to the front while the rest of her hair she curled behind her ears.
Rogue smiled sweetly and seductively at them all by stopped when she got in front of Pietro whose face was beet red and was standing weird. "What's wrong sug" She said standing closer to him "Cat got yer tongue"
Pietro gulped before looking down at himself "Shit" he said barely above a whisper and sped behind Piotr who didn't seem to care.
Rogue turned now to face Magneto and dropped the three large duffel bags that none of them had noticed she had been holding "Ah though ya said they were ready fer ma"
"They are" he said causing Rogue to raise an eyebrow
"Don' seem like that boy of yers is sug heck ah think this is his first time seein' a girl" She laughed somewhat at this "Ya really need ta let the poor fella outa the cage once an' a blue moon"
"Southern accent ma chere?" Rogue glanced behind her to finally look at Remy
"Yer chere?" she asks raising an eyebrow
"Well ya surly not a pitte no?" he said as his eyes wandered over her body
"Swamp rat" Rogue called him simply and turned back to Magneto not truly caring if Remy was still starring "Now can ya get someone ta show me where my room is and help me with my stuff?"
"Remy can help ya out cher" Rogue looked up and Magneto whose expression was as blank as ever "Aren't ya worried about breaking a nail 'Oh wee' mon du ma poor widdle finger" Rogue said with a fake French accent Remy looked at her bitterly as he grabbed all three of her bags and began down one of the hallways towards her new bedroom. As Rogue went to fallow him she walked past John and slightly tapped the bottom of his jaw shut with her gloved hand "Sug were in public drool some place else" and with that she was gone.
Remy dropped Rogue's bags hard down onto her bed, she stood at the door frame watching him, his anger level rising through the roof "Something bugging ya swamp rat?" she asked now walking towards the bed and starting to empty the contains of her bags.
"Ma names not swamp rat cher---"
"Yea well ma's not cher Cajun!" she was close to yelling now and turned her back to him before she did something she didn't want to.
"fahne whatever Rogue whatever a kind of name dat be" With that said Remy began walking towards the open bedroom door the anger rising inside of him
"Ya know" Rogue started walking towards the dresser that had been in the room and placing six candles of all different shapes and sizes on top of it. "Ya shouldn't let what people say affect ya"
This shocked Remy somewhat "Well cher when ya make fun of who Remy be that be-----"
"Wrong, cruel, hurtful?" she said turning toward him now folding her arms over her chest
"Well na Remy was gonna say mean but yeah dat covers it too"
Rogue laughed somewhat again and walked back towards her bed "Well get used to it sug" she held now about six or eight books which she now placed on the bookshelf which also had been in the room "Cause we're mutants and no matter how powerful we become we're still gonna be looked down upon and stepped on"
"Dat not true" Remy said defencivly though deep down inside he knew very well that what Rogue was saying was close, if not a little off, to true
"Jus' don' go tellin' that boss of ours that isn't that what were fighting for 'er some thang?" Rogue asked laughing again now looking at Remy
"Yeah tell Remy bout it" Rogue smiled though it soon fell away and shattered into a thousand pieces right before Remy's eyes "Ya okay cher?" he asked and walking towards her went to place his hand to her cheek but she quickly slapped it away with her gloved hand "Chere Remy's not gonna hurt ya"
"Yeah well ah'll hurt ya now if ya don' mind ah got a lot of unpackin' ta do" she turned her back to Remy now and listened to the sound of the bedroom door behind her shutting
Walking towards the wall where one might think a window should be Rogue pulled off her gloves and placed her bare pale hands and the side of her face to the wall. Ahm cryin' inside an' nobody knows of it but ma
She did not get much unpacking done that night alone with Remy who did not get much sleep either. His power of empathy was going nuts that night because of Rogue's pain and sorrow der be no way dat one person can feel so much of dis heartache at once! He yelled out mentally and just as he did so the feelings flooding from Rogue ceased to a halt "What the" he said and sitting up from his bed walked out the door and down the hall towards Rogue's not truly caring that he was in his boxers alone and it was around three am. As he finally reached Rogues door there was no need to knock for she opened it herself.
"Ya might want ta build up her mental shields a bit Cajun" she said holding herself tightly for it was freezing cold in the hallway and Rogue didn't have much on, a tank top and short shorts.
"Oh an' why?" he asked folding his arms over his well toned chest
"Cause if ya don' with ma living here now ya'll never get a good night sleep again." She closed her bedroom door and Remy could here the sound of her slipping back down into her bed.
Odd Remy thought to himself as he started down the hallway back to his own bed. A thousand and one question raced though his mind as he lay back down and closed his eyes once more awaiting sleep to take him
Why was Rogue feeling so pained and sad?
Why had the feelings been so strong that they passed through his shields so easily?
What was Rogues power?
