My Reviewers
Aisyy – Thanks! I love Piotr/Kitty! They are both kind of shy and they fit so well together and Rogue and Remy just rock too! Yes, "Intensity" is amazing. If you ever get the chance to read it, do so. It's a horror but it's the read-in-one-go type. I couldn't put it down! I realized that he shouldn't have looked down her top, but hey, it's Remy!
gambit-rogue – Thanks! Im sorry about the short chapter, I can't help it! I have to get it out for you lot! I'll make this a longer chapter, I promise! Thanks for the praise on the updates stands and curtseys Well I do try. You mentioned where you lived in an email once but you said Msia or something and I got a little confused. Geography isn't exactly my strong subject, that's history! I can't believe that you don't have galaxy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so sorry for you! gives air hug and hands out a king-size galaxy Yes, I know, I looked you up! Romy forever!!!
Cerdwyn3 – Thanks for the review! Yes, I know but we are talking about Remy here. Hmm… nurses outfit you say? Makes a note on reporters notebook I'll get onto it!
Reevesie – I'm glad you did! Thanks for the review!
X-Storm – Thanks for the review! Yes, I hate injections as well! They really scare me! Piotr is the nice kind of guy that would always go to visit them, so he did. I'm glad you liked my John and his insanity remark. It's the kind of thing my friends would say about me! Kitty and Piotr are just meant for each other and there will be more of them in further chapters, namely this chapter! Remy and Rogue cannot be paired up with anyone else but each other! Remy will make the chapters better! This is probably the best story that I have ever written and don't worry, it wont end like "Ill never be the same again" This will be a happy ending. Take care!
Disclaimer – I don't own Xmen. No matter how many times I have asked Marvel, they don't want to give it to me! I also do not own any songs mentioned in this fic or any clothes designers.
My god! I had to do loads of research on men's clothing on this chapter!
I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
"Far Away" by Nickelback
Chapter 4 – The Making
She stood in her bedroom, watching the dark sky out of her window. A gentle tapping on the door made her turn around and look at the door. She walked over slowly, her bare feet padding gently on the carpet. She held the door handle and opened it, revealing him stood in the hallway, his eyes burning into hers.
"Bonjour Chere," he husked.
"Hi," she whispered, tucking a strand of stray hair behind her ear.
He shouldered the door, stepping over the threshold, into her territory, her sanctuary. His bare hands cupped her face and she gasped, stepping away in shock. He advanced on her, taking her hand in his, tracing her knuckles with his thumb.
"How?" she spluttered.
He shrugged, stepping forwards to capture her mouth in a searing kiss. She moaned at the softness of his lips, pushing up onto her tiptoes to close the space between their bodies. His arms wrapped around her waist, drawing her closer.
And then…
…she woke up.
Rogue flew up in bed and hit the alarm with the palm of her hand. She growled at it for waking her from her amazing, if weird, dream. She slapped her face at the remembrance. She had dreamed about kissing him, feeling him, if though she never could. It showed just how much she craved touch, how much she needed to be loved. Swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, she stood up, attempting to bag the bathroom before Kitty did. She looked over at her sleeping friend. Kitty didn't realize how easy she had it.

"Awww, but please, Doc!"
"No Remy. I cannot allow you to go down to breakfast in your condition."
Remy pouted and looked up at the furry Doctor, his eyes big and watering slightly; the traditional puppy eyes.
Remy watched Beast soften, smirking inwardly. His brilliant plan (Operation Go-See-His-Chere) seemed to be working. He made his eyes water a little more.
"Ok, ok, fine! You win, I lose. You can go down to breakfast, on one condition,"
Remy looked up expectantly.
"Mr. Rasputin is to accompany you everywhere, even the toilet, and you are to come straight back up here when the rest of the student go to school,"
"Dats two conditions," Remy stated.
Beast gave him a stern look and Remy grimaced but nodded nonetheless.
With perfect timing as usual, Piotr walked through the door, wearing a blue button up shirt and light faded jeans, secured with a Calvin Klein belt. Well, the guy had some style. It must be Remy's influence. Remy stood up slowly, clutching his chest and abdomen, holding on to Piotr for support. The Russian pulled him up, temporarily lifting him off the ground, before setting him rightly back on his feet.
"Does he have to accompany moi t get dressed?"
Beast nodded sincerely and Remy hobbled into the bathroom, followed by Piotr. Once in there, Piotr handed him some clothes and turned away respectively as Remy dressed.
"How did y get these," he asked, holding up his t-shirt in disbelief.
Piotr laughed, "I sent John on a rescue mission to get us some clothes. He acted like he had escaped with an inch of his life, with Sabertooth still prowling around. He grabbed everything in your wardrobe, along with toothbrush and toiletries."
Remy emerged from the bathroom wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a Jack Daniels belt, a tight black t- shirt and a pair of K Swiss Fenley trainers. He frowned at how much the bandages made him seem bigger, but it couldn't be helped. Holding on tight to Piotr, he hobbled slowly out of the Med Bay and downstairs into the kitchen.
There weren't many people there yet, only Wolverine and the blue fuzzy guy he remembered as being Nightcrawler. He got a growl for Wolverine and Nightcrawler gave him and incredibly dirty look as he sat down. They do love to be forgiving here, don't they?
He winced as he sat down, letting out a slow breath. His ribs felt like they had been stretched out and then shoved back again. He perked up slightly as John waltzed into the room.
"Morning, mates!" he quipped, then noticed, "Remy!"
"Hey, John,"
John rushed over and threw his arms around his friend; jumping back at the yelps of pain and then hugged him gently. Remy hugged him back. He had missed John, even though he had only been away from him a day.
More teenagers poured into the kitchen, all grabbing food after about 10 hours of an empty stomach. Remy sat with Piotr and John off to the side, watching them all with increasing curiosity. He recognized most of them from Magneto's profiling but the younger ones were all new to him. He scanned the room, wondering if she had come in yet.
He wasn't hungry so he gratefully accepted the coffee that Piotr handed him. Cyke shot them evils the whole time, stopping only to goo-goo eye Jean. Remy felt like throwing up.
Nightcrawler approached and John immediately stood, hoping for a fight, if only a verbal one.
"Vhy haven't you left yet? You obviously don't belong here."
John scowled, but Remy's face stayed neutral. He was too tired for a fight; coming downstairs had wearied him.
"Listen, blue boy, we aint leaving until Rems is completely healed. Until then, you'll have to put up with us,"
Kurt suddenly teleported, knocking John off balance. John growled and sent a fireball in the blue boy's direction, managing to singe the tip of his tail, laughing manically. Kurt moved again, smashing him into a wall.
"See, you're so fat, you can't even stop vhacking into he valls of this room!"
"Well, you're so fat, when there's a beeping, people think you're reversing!" John screamed back, dodging Kurt again.
Remy was laughing even though it hurt his sides. This was priceless. It was so pathetic it was funny. He glanced at Wolverine, who was cracking a smile and had no intention of stopping the fighting boys.
"You're so fat, vhen you vear a raincoat, people shout "Taxi!"" Kurt encouraged.
"Well, you're so fat, when you bend over, there's a total eclipse of the sun!"
The whole room was in hysterics but the two males seemed to have no idea and kept at each other.
"You're mothers so stupid, she thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican Phone Company!"
"You're momma's so stupid, she asked you what the number for 911 was!" John shouted.
"Alright, boys break it up!" Wolverine shouted, the grin nearly filling his face.

Rogue walked into the kitchen in the middle of this fight and was laughing throughout most of it. They were both so childish it was stupid. She grabbed some toast and smothered some butter on it, tucking in to it whilst watching the morning evolve. She was surprised to see Remy sat in the corner with Piotr, a cup of coffee in one hand, the other holding his tender ribs. She desperately wanted to go over there, rub his back, whisper into his ear, make him feel better, kiss him…
She shook her head, clearing it. It much too early in the morning for those kind of thoughts. Nevertheless, she looked over at him again. His dark blue jeans fitted him perfectly, tight in all the right places and she could see his muscles through the top he was wearing, even though he was bandaged up. She grinned at the thought of stroking her hands down his chest, bumping over his hard abdominal muscles and then down…
Stop it, she scolded herself for thinking such things. Well, a girl could still dream. Even if it was bad, bad dreams!
Kurt stormed past her and she realized that she needed to have a word with her dear brother. She followed his around the halls until she finally caught up with him in his room. She knocked loudly and Kurt appeared in front of her.
"Rogue? Vhat are you doing here?" he asked innocently.
"Ah need ta talk ta ya, about the other day,"
He looked confused.
"Ya were horrible ta Remy when he came ta us for help!"
"He's an Acolyte, Rogue, like the other two." He answered, taking on the big brother role.
"Uh, look again, Sugah, they aint Acolytes anymore. In fact, they'll probably end up being Xmen, so Ah suggest ya at least try ta get along!"
Kurt nodded and looked apologetic.
"I am sorry. I just find it hard to trust them."
She smiled, "Ah know,"

Remy was annoyed. She was in the room… and then she wasn't. She just disappeared without even saying goodbye! He sat in the corner, his second cup of coffee in his hands, grumbling to himself. John had stormed off somewhere and Piotr was next to him but not paying the slightest bit of attention to him. Remy had even tried to get his attention by letting out a few quiet yelps but Piotr was well out of it, making eyes at Kitty. They were chatting now, smiling and joking. Kitty was good for him, she was bubbly and full of life. She might bring him out of his shell a bit.
Rogue walked back into the room as all the rest of them started to leave for school. She looked beautiful this morning. Black khaki pants and a dark green long-sleeved top that matched her eyes and combat boots. She looked at him, catching his eye. His heart skipped a beat, fluttering with excitement. She was walking towards him. Oh God, she was walking towards him, keep cool, keep cool…
She flopped down next to him.
"Morning Swamp Rat,"
"Morning, River Rat," he said, grinning.
"Rogue! We're leaving now!" Cyke yelled from the doorway.
She growled and stood up, grabbing her bag. Cyke shot Remy a look from the doorway but Remy smiled back, not bothered at all. This made Cyke mad, he could tell. His empathy was picking up his anger signals. He nearly laughed. Rogue stopped at the doorway.
"See ya later, Swamp Rat," she said.
"Bye, Chere,"
John burst into room, yelling that he had made a new CD. Remy took the case from him, laughing slightly as he read the song list.
Johns CD
Let It burn - Usher
Light my fire – Will young
Fire – U2
Eternal Flame – Atomic Kitten
We Didn't Start the Fire – Billy Joel
Great Balls Of Fire – Jerry Lee Lewis
Love Fire – Simply Red
John didn't even know half of these songs, he just loved fire. He loved fire a lot!
Piotr looked disheartened now that Kitty had left so Remy put a hand on his shoulder.
"She'll be back, mon ami," he whispered.
"Yeah," John said, "And hopefully that Wanda Shelia will give in to my charm,"
"What charm?" Remy asked
"Yes, Comrade, throwing fireballs isn't usually classed as charm,"
