When Remy awoke the next morning it was to the sound of someone pounding on his bedroom door. "Remy be coming!" he yelled as he closed his eyes, thinking that it was just John wondering were the pop tarts were yet again. He smiled to himself as the pounding stopped and began to drift off back to sleep. Two maybe three minutes of silence passed before this time the sound of his door opening slowly came. Anger rose up in side of him "John, Remy told ya dis before never, an' ah say never come in ta ma room without bein' invited!" He yelled as he turned around and threw his charged pillow at who he thought was the fire loving freak but turned out to be the new recruit, Rouge to his horror. Oh no he thought as the pillow went flying straight towards her head "Chere!" he yelled out but was taken a back when she dodged the pillow just in time before it exploded and the feathers fell everywhere.

"Nice try Swamp rat" She said as she began to look around his room, which at the time was a mess "Hey ya ever think about cleaning up around here?" she asked glancing down at the slice of pizza on the floor that looked to be a week old

"What ya want chere? Remy want ta go back ta sleep" he moaned as he placed his face back down into other pillow after seeing that it was only six in the morning.

"Yeah sorry buddy" she joked as she walked over to his desk and looked at the folder names that he had on his lap top screen "huh ah didn't figure you to be a guy on guy porn fan" she said laughing somewhat as Remy sat up strait in his bed with an angry look on his face "Remy don' watch guy on guy!" he yelled as he then stood from bed revealing to Rouge that his boxers were just a bit too small

"Yeah ah know" she said with a seductive smile on her face "But hey look at this yer outta bed now and jus in time ta show me around the town" She smiled causing him to roll his eyes

"What makes ya tink dat Remy take ya out, Remy don' know if ya notice but yer not really his type" he said coldly

She smiled at this "yeah ah know yer type is tall, dark and handsome now come on and get dressed. Be sides ya have to come" she said as she headed towards the open door

"Oh an' whys dat?" he asked annoyed

"Cause yer in need of new boxers" she said causing Remy to look down at himself frowning, da cheres got a point he thought to himself. And when he looked up she was gone.

"There really aint much ta do in this town is there?" Rogue asked from the passenger seat of the jeep that both Remy and her were sitting in, he frowned from behind his dark shades which hid his unnatural, mutant eyes. "Oh come on, don't tell me yer still mad from before?" she asked and then started to laugh at this

"Listen cher" he began as he pulled into the parking lot of the nearest diner "Remy don' like ta be mean, mainly ta a femme like yer self so" he stopped as the two hopped out of the jeep and began slowly walking towards the building together "so ah be sorry fer my attitude towards ya" Remy smiled down at her then as he held open the door of the diner for her causing her to simply roll her eyes.

Why do ya have to be such a---"

"A what?" Rogue asked as she glanced down at her menu again deciding finally on what she wanted to eat "ahll have the meat lovers with scrambled eggs and extra hash browns as well" she said to the waitress who seemed to be paying more attention to Remy then to what Rouge was saying or what she was writing down on the paper in her hand

"and you sir?" she asked as she smiled sweetly at him

"oh ahll have a stack of pancakes" he said not really paying too much attention to her sad attempts of flirting. The waitress frowned as she wrote down his order and walked off realizing that there was no use. "where was Remy, oh yeah--"

"Listen swamp rat" she started taking a quick sip of her black coffee before continuing "have seen a thousand and one guys just like ya an' ya'll think that we women are gifts from god just fer ya. Well ahm tellin' ya and making sure that ya know that I don' care and that ah will be nothing more den' yer teammate got dat?"

He frowned more frustrated then he had ever been in his entire life "Don' matter chere like ah thought ya were attractive anyway" Rogue rolled her eyes

The rest of the meal as well as the car ride was left in silence and all the while Remy with his empathy could feel sparks of pain coming from Rogue did Remy hurt her he wondered even though a strong part of him didn't care at the same time. As the two walked back into the base the silence sadly did not end "listen Rogue ah---"

"Save it swamp rat ah have ta be somewhere right now" she said as she walked quickly down the hallway towards magnetos office

Remy sat on his bed top thinking to himself, a thousand and one questions racing through his mind as he waited, and waited; and finally after three hours of waiting the sound that he had been waiting for reached his ears. The sound of the office door opening, the sound of Rogue leaving after her talk with magneto, the sound of Rogue walking towards his room to get to hers.

Remy sat up quickly and ran across his room towards his door which he swung open quickly in high hopes to catch her before she was too far gone and reached her own bedroom. "Rogue!" he called as he grabbed her covered shoulder and turned her around to face him. He expected her to look anger, maybe even tired or with a smile on her face but not this not with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Rogue?" he asked as she shoved him away and ran now towards her room

"Get away from me!" she yelled as she slammed her door shut

"Rogue?" he questioned again as he ran after her and into her room "Rouge what happened are ya alright?" he asked as he fought with her as she tried to push him away and out of her room

"Please just go!" she yelled again hitting him hard over and over again in the chest yet her blows grew softer quickly as she fell to the floor, swallowed by her tears.

"Rogue" he said as he bent down and geld her in his arms "What be wrong chere, tell Remy he can help you" he said as he ran his fingers through her hair

She frowned at this and looked up into his mutant eyes "you really think you can" she asked sarcastically as she began to whip away the tears from her eyes

"Well ya jus tell Remy what be da problem an' he try an' help da best he can"

She laughed at this causing him to grow angry "Ya really think ya can, really think that ya can take ma powers away? Really think that ya can get ride of the hold that that son of a bitch has on me? Do ya?" she asked and frowned at his silence "yeah that's what ah thought, now please jus get outta ma room" she said, and watched as for once he obeyed without saying a word

A thousand and one questions ran through his mind as he tried to fall asleep that night

Why was Rogue so angry and hostile with him before and what made her change so much?

What hold did Magneto have on her?

What powers did she have and hate so badly that she wanted them gone?

And most importantly of all; how was he going to help her?

School sucks oh well enjoy!!!
