Chapter 3: The Apology and the Danger Room
It was 4 P.M. the next day and he found her in the library. She had a notebook by her right side and a book by her left.
Remy took a deep breath, walked up to her, pulled out a chair next to Rogue and sat. At this, Rogue looked up from whatever she was doing but when she saw him, her eyes went huge. Though she didn't scramble to get away, which Remy was grateful for, clearly she became uneasy.
"Remy…" Rogue sat up straight.
"Ah'd like to apologize for last night. Ah didn't know and Ah'm sorry." Well, that's the best he could do to sound apologetic enough without looking like a jackass.
"It's fahn. Really." Her face turned scarlet but Remy didn't want to tease her about that since he was apologizing and all.
"Ah'd like to take yah out to dinner if yah don't mind." He was hoping that she wouldn't refuse but Remy knew better.
"Ah don't think that's a good ahdea." She replied. Remy surmised as much.
He was about to convince her to change her mind when a cough sounded in front of them. It was Bobby Drake, Rogue's ex-boyfriend, or so Kitty said when they were eating lunch with him and the others, all the while discreetly pointing to the boy. As both turned to face him, Remy saw Rogue shift in her chair.
"Logan scheduled a session at the Danger Room tonight. He wants everyone to be there." Bobby said while looking at Rogue then throwing daggers at Remy with his eyes.
"Oh… Okay." Rogue looked down at the materials in front of her.
When Bobby left, Rogue let out the breath she was holding while Remy tried to calm himself down enough to stop grinding his teeth, which he didn't even know he was doing.
"Ah'm going too." He finally said while he stood up and walk towards the library's door.
He was about to go out the said door when Rogue gave him her answer concerning his dinner invitation. "Ah'm free Saturday."
Remy turned back then to face her, like the first time he had met her, there was a stupid grin on his face. "Okay then."
Again, he was to go out the door but he had to turn back to Rogue. Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"Couple more things, where's the Danger Room and what goes on there?"

The girls were psyched about the Danger Room session. They'd been training for the past few days and they want to see if it paid off.
That isn't the only reason Rogue's excited. Maybe excited isn't the operative word but rather, nervous. Oh my God she has a date on Saturday!
"What the hell was Ah thinking?" She just saw Bobby and… Crap! Rogue thoughts were at a whir while she and Kitty followed Betsy and Jubilee to the Danger Room for that Danger Room session.
"Rogue, don't be like that. The guy's nice enough, why don't you give him a chance?" Kitty chastised of her friend.
"Because Ah don't really want to go out with anyone." At her response, Kitty's surprise was obvious.
Both girls stopped walking at that point then Kitty placed a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder. "Rogue…"
"After mah powers came back and the break-up with Bobby… Well…" Rogue couldn't look Kitty in the eye.
That was when a whistle sounded behind them.
The girls turn around only to discover Remy undressing Rogue with his eyes. "As impressive as ahr surroundings ahr… Wow chere!" Surroundings meaning the sublevels of the mansion which was made of metal and held an untold number of rooms with advanced technology such as the room that held Cerebro.
Rogue just couldn't move.
"Yah know Ah'll give yah anythin' yah want as long as yah ask in the uniform." He approached Rogue and Kitty who were rooted to where they stood but stopped right in front of Rogue.
"You shouldn't say anything like that around here, bub." Logan emerged from the direction of the Danger Room.
The three almost jumped at the sound of his voice.
"Girls…Danger Room…NOW." Logan ordered Kitty and Rogue which they promptly obeyed.

Sorry it took me some time for this. It's just I've been quite busy lately.
Thanks for understanding.
