AN: Ok so I'm really really really sorry about the long wait but I'm like the queen of all procrastinators and I have like no idea where this story is going and and please don't hurt me! *Takes cover*

Also this chapter is ridiculously short. Sorry ! But it was either post it short now or wait until I wrote more and god knows how long that would have taken. So yet again I'm really sorry and I'll try to update faster but I can't promise anything!

The Grey Area

CH. 2 – Reunion

"Remy!" John exclaimed before enveloping Gambit in a bear hug. "You came to rescue me!"

"Rescue you? From what?"

Pyro dropped Gambit, suddenly turning serious. He grabbed Remy by the collar of his ever present trench coat and hauled him into the living room.

"From this!"

Pyro dramatically gestured towards everything in the room.

Fred was sitting in a broken recliner, eating what looked (and smelled) to be week old pizza and a huge bowl of many different cereals. Lance was lounging on the couch previously occupied by Pyro, Toad had gotten his tongue stuck in the ceiling fan and was now just a smelly green blur spinning above everyone's heads. And Pietro was flicking through channels so fast that no one else could actually see what was on.

"Do you see what Oi've been livin' with?" Pyro gestured wildly, yet again, to the other occupants of the Brotherhood house.

Remy opened his mouth to answer but was abruptly cut off as John continued his rant.

"That one-" John pointed violently towards Toad who was currently a green blur. "-has serious hygiene 'n' personal space issues and e's a roight sticky beak aswel"

"That one-" John's arm suddenly flew in fred's direction. "-ate moy sandwhich. MOY SANDWHICH REMY! MOINE MOINE MOINE!" John stomped his foot with each word to add extra emphasis to his fury.

"That one-" John's finger was now pointed accusingly towards the terminally bored Lance, who remained lounging on the couch. "-bores me to tears wit his mopey boring BORINGNESS!"

John took a moment to breathe.

Remy had noticed that he was getting louder and clearly more agitated with every 'that one'!.

John suddenly turned to Remy.

"They won't play poker, they won't do hilariously idiotic things for fun, and I tried to bring 'em drinkin' once and dey're all a buncha two pot screamers"

Remy opened his mouth to attempt to speak for the second time but was cut off yet again when John's gaze landed on Pietro and his fury returned.

"That one's more annoyin' den Sabretooth!. At least Vicky was good to hit the turps. But this one just complains and annoys and talks waaay too fast!"

"AND THAT ONE-" John was now on the verge of shouting, as he whirled around and pointed in Wanda's direction.

Wanda hexed Toad violently off the ceiling fan and into the wall. Thus creating yet another Toaad shaped hole in the house.

John's mouth quickly melted into one of his signature crazy smiles.

"-actually dat one I kinda loike."

He smiled maniacally at Wanda and shot her a wink.

He received a scowl in return.

"Clearly da feelin's mutual" Remy commented sarcastically.

"Oi know roight" was John's cheery reply.

Remy had to laugh at his crazy, oblivious friend. They both made their way outside to their respective motorcycles.

"So where are we off to?" Pyro questioned excitedly. He was practically hopping about the place with excitement.

"I don't know where you're goin' exactly but I'm headn out to see an old friend" Remy replied coolly.

"This 'old friend' wudn't happen to be livin' at the Xavier school for stuck up nerds now wud dey?"

Remy eyed him curiously but John just smiled in return.

"Maybe"

"You were gonna go inta the x-geeks house and cause chaos without me? Even after my speech about how bored I've been!" Pyro had an exaggerated look of horror and hurt plastered across his face.

"'Course not Johnny. You know if dare was gon' be chaos y'd be da first person I'd call. But dat's de opposite of de plan." Remy reassured his friend sincerely.

"I need to get in, tell Rogue I'm back, and get out as quickly as possible. Unnoticed. De last ting I want rite now is a fight."

"That makes one of us" John mumbled.

"I'm serious, John." Remy warned.

"I need dis t' go smoothly and dat means you can't get involved"

"Can Oi at least tag along for the roide?" John asked hopefully.

Remy scrunched up his face in uncertainty.

"Oi promise Oi'll wait outside the gate at all toimes"

Remy still wasn't sure.

"Please,please,please,please,please,please,please,please-"

"Alrite, alrite fine! Yeesh!"

John did a little victory dance.

"But y' betta behave y'self"

John stopped dancing and pouted. "When did you stop bein' fun?"

"Look, if y' c'n control y'self fo' da time bein' den I promise dat we'll go fo' a drink tonight and I'll find y' some mutant hating scumbag fo' y' to beat da shit outta. Sound good?"

John's face visibly brightened and he nodded enthusiastically.

Remy laughed at his friend's expression and headed towards his bike.

"Ya know wat Johnny, I missed ya, y' crazy bastard!"

John grinned. "What can Oi say mate, Oi grow on people".

Remy laughed. "Only da crazy ones"

John hopped on his bike and laughed hysterically. "You callin' yourself crazy?"

"Well…" Remy mounted his bike and smirked. "…all da best people are".

AN: I know, I know it was really short and crappy and it was seriously lacking in Rogue.

But I promise that the next chapter will be much longer and will be abundant with Rogue. Please , Please, PLEASE REVIEW! Any sort of review is acceptable. Even if it's just one word (I'd rather it was longer but I'm kinda desperate here!)

Also, yes Remy's last comment was a blatant Tim Burton's Alice And Wonderland reference. I don't own it. Thanks for reading! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

P.S. There's gonna be a whole lotta Johnda in this story too just so you know! But I'm stuck on whether to make this a Kiotr or Lancitty? Which would you prefer? Please let me know! Thanks again!
