Chapter 4. No I do not own xmen, sadly. Please review people. It makes me very happy. So Gambit and Rogue finally meet, and Gambit is reunited with an old friend.

"Hello." Rogue told the handsome stranger on the other side of the door.

"Bor Jour. I was told that this place helped mutants.

"Well you've come to the right place Mr…"

"LeBeau, Remy LeBeau."

"Call me Rogue, Mr. LeBeau."

"Mr.? That hurt real deep chere. I ain't that old. I is only 24 years old…technically." He added.

"Technically?" she asked confused

"Long story." He told her.

"Okay follow me…Remy." She smiled at him

'This week just turned 100 times brighter.' He thought.

They walked through the halls of the mansion. He noticed a lot of people were staring at him. A lot of girls were staring at him.

"Allright, here we are." Rogue said knocking on Storm's office door.

"Come in." A female voice said on the other side of the door.

Rogue opened the door and Gambit walked in.

"I'll see you all later." Rogue said before leaving him in the room with a white haired lady, a blue furry man, and a scruffy looking man that he recognized instantly.

Unfortunately…so did Logan.

"YOU!!!" Logan roared as he grabbed Gambit by the coat and ran him into the wall.

"Oui. Long time no see, Wolvie. Good to see you still remember me."

"Logan let the nice man down." Storm calmly told Logan, "What's going on here?" she asked when Logan released Gambit.

"Ask him." He said pointing at Gambit.

"Hey, Gambit just as confused as you."

"I haven't seen you in almost 20 years. You barely have aged, and you don't have a healing factor. You should be at least 40 by now."

"Where you haven't seen me in 20 years, I haven't seen you in almost 2." Gambit explained, "Less than a week ago it was the year 1993."

"Are you saying you time traveled?" Storm asked Gambit.

" I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth."

"Is time travel even possible?" Storm asked Beast.

"It is theoretically possible, a true fascinating phenomenon. I would like to run some tests." Beast told Gambit.

"Gambit don't do tests." He told Beast considering the last time he was tested on was in the hands of William Stryker.

"This is insane." Storm told them.

"He's telling the truth." Logan told them, "His heartbeat isn't spiking in the slightest. So either he's mentally unstable and actually believes this has happened. Or it really did happen…both seem like logical explanations to me."

"Gambit ain't insane!" Gambit shouted.

"He's right." Beast said as he typed on his lap top. "Says in the US census of missing persons. Remy LeBeau was a mutant who disappeared in the 90's without a trace. He's been missing ever since." Beast told them showing them the article on Remy's disappearance.

"Allright, let's start from the beginning." Storm told Gambit.

"Okay. So this is how it happened…"

(15 minutes later)

"…and that's how it happened." Gambit said wrapping his story up.

"You got beat up by a kid?" Logan asked.

"The guy was good. He had green orbs that shot from his hands. Little ones and big ones. The big ones hurt…a lot."

"Energy projection," Beast piped in," and at a very accelerated rate, class 4 at least. And you didn't see his face?"

"No, he kept it hidden. Like he was hiding something from me. Something I wasn't supposed to see."

"For the time being Remy, you are most welcome to stay here until we figure all this out. I'm afraid the man who can help you won't be back for another 4 months." Storm told him.

"Thank you, I ain't got nowhere to go, so I'll stay."

"Follow me Gumbo, I'll have Rogue take you to your room." Logan told Gambit as they left Storm's office.

They walked to the rec room where Rogue was hanging with other students.

"Stripes. Looks like the Cajun's gonna be staying for a while. So when you got a minute can you get him an available room?" he asked.

"Sure, follow me." She told Gambit.

"After you…chere." He said as he followed closely behind her.

When they reached his room, Rogue sat down on the bed.

"So what's a swamprat like you doing in a place like this?"

"Like I said earlier, it's a long story."

"We've got time."

"You'll think I'm crazy."

"Remy I have seen people move bridges with their minds, I have seen every mutant in the world get a migrane at the same time. So, try me."

"Allright, but I warned you."

(15 minutes later)

"Wooww" Rogue let out

"Yep."

"You got beat up by a kid?"

"With stunning energy spheres."

"Hey that's your excuse. Wait, I've got an idea."

"What?" he asked her.

"Since you missed the last 17 years of history. How about I catch you up. I'll show you the good movies and music."

"That sounds like a plan."

"Come down in 30 minutes." She said as she exited the room.

"Bye." He said smiling at himself when she was out of sight.

He opened his suitcase and put his few belongings away. He removed his staff and trench coat. He smoothed his hair and left to go meet her early.

When he got there he leaped onto the couch beside her, causing her to jump slightly.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you."

"It's fine."

He removed his deck of cards and began to play solitaire.

:"What's with the cards?" she asked.

He smiled and picked one up. She watched in amazement as a magenta glow appeared around the card. He gently flicked it up where it made a small popping noise. And the card remains fell onto them like snow.

"Imagine that on a much larger scale."

"So you make things explode?" she asked him.

"I can turn potential energy into kinetic energy by touching something. If an object has too much kinetic energy…boom."

She smirked.

"So what's your power?" he asked

"Long story."

"We got time."

"I had the power to absorb a persons energy, memories, and personalities by touching them. If I touched another mutant I absorbed their powers too. I wasn't able to control it. So when a 'cure' for mutation came out I took it because I wanted to touch people. Turns out the cure is only temporary so in a few months I'll be back."

"I'm sorry, it's terrible that you have to go through that."

"It's fine. I'm ready."

Suddenly their privacy was interrupted when 7 people showed up.

"Movie time." Jubilee hummed.

"Everyone this is Gambit. He's new here."

"Gambit this is Jubillle, Kitty, Colossus, Psylocke, Angel, and…Bobby." She said uneasily. She had been trying to avoid him since she got back, but he kept popping up.

"oh and that's Phalanx." Rogue said pointing to a girl who was already settled on a seat next to them.

"Hi there." Gambit told Phalanx.

"Sup." Phalanx replied." So what's the plan?"

"We watch Lord of the Rings, then Saw, and we end with notebook."

"I'll check out on that last one." Colossus told the group.

"Come on Peter." Kitty groaned as she grabbed his arm. "I need to cry on someone's shoulder."

"Fine, I'll do it for you. But if any of this gets out. There will be Hell to pay." He warned.

"And here we go." Jubilee said as she flicked on the T.V.

When Lord of the Rings ended, Gambit was amazed.

"Oh My God. That was amazing. It looked so real."

"The wonders of CGI." Shadowcat said.

"You know what's kinda scary?" Jubilee asked the group. They all shook their heads.

"How much Magneto looks like Gandalf."

Everyone agreed.

"Notebook." Kitty said excitedly as she put the DVD in.

"I'm out." Bobby said getting up and leaving.

Allie: Why didn't you write me? I waited for you for 7 years and now it's too late.

Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year.

Allie: You wrote me?

Noah: Yes. It wasn't over. It still isn't over

"Oh my Gawd." Rogue said in disbelief as she looked over at Colossus whose face was stained with tears.

"Shut up." He whimpered swiping them away.

"Not you too?" Psylocke told Angel who was shedding a few tears of his own.

"Please tell me your not." Rogue asked Gambit.

"I'm trying…real…hard." He choked out.

"Jeez." Rogue sighed as the movie continued.

When it was over everyone but Rogue and Gambit left.

"Come on just 1 more." Rogue told them

"Rogue, we've been watching for the past 8 hours. You know that I love you, but I also love my sleep. It's 3 in the morning and I'm going to bed." Kitty said leaving with the rest of them.

"Peace." Phalanx said even though she was wide awake.

"I'm up for 1 more." Gambit told her, " What's this Saw about?"

"Some crazy guy kidnaps people. Then he sticks a bunch of needles in them, and cuts them open."

"Do you mind if we watch something else." Gambit said uneasily, as he thought back to Stryker's labs, where scientists would cut him open while he was still awake.

"Sure." She said a little worried about why something like that would make Gambit uneasy.

They were halfway through V for Vendetta when Rogue noticed Gambit was asleep.

She looked him over and noticed that there was dozens of scars on his arms.

'Needle marks?' she thought as she lightly touched them.

'Who did this to you?' she thought as she saw what looked like a brand mark on his left bicep.

'Someone has to find out about this.' She said as she put a blanket on him. 'I'll tell Logan in the morning.' She told herself as she fell asleep on the couch opposite of him.

Chapter 4 is finished. Lots of Rogue/Remy. My OC Phalanx was introduced in this chapter. I have 5 more that will come in later in the story. I just did Phalanx because she will probably be a main character in this story. I recommend you go to my profile and read her profile because it will explain who she is and what she can do. Hope you enjoyed. Please review people.
