Authors Note: Ack, now this one was a tricky little chapter. I hope I do you Romy fans proud, after all this is much more important than some plain old boring Rott or Rogan or something silly like that. Personally I am not completely happy with this one, it does feel a bit rushed for me (despite how long it took me to write) but I wanted to get one last chapter out before the end of the month.
Thank yous to: Mykella, musagirl15, RAMALOT4, like it matters, Ishy, Captain Annie, BlackClove, Chica De Los Ojos Café, Berry, princess fairys, addtothenoise, Carla-p, Freak87, mangoskin93, mei-shui-devi, Pussykat 8, and sexy.butterfly.
IMPORTANT: This will be the last chapter I do before I head off on holiday.
I will be back around the beginning of October and once getting over jetlag will restart my writing with plenty of new ideas (hopefully).
Oh, and SEX! Hey, you, giggling in the back at that word, get out!

Chapter Six: Not so Possessed
Xavier's School for the Gifted.
Holding a cigarette between his fingers Gambit stared down at the burning end before raising it again to his lips, his trench coat gently flapping in the breeze as he leant back against the wall circling the perimeter of the school. It wasn't his first smoke since getting there, having been hidden in the shadows and watching as the mansion nearly completely emptied of the students, disappearing after packing themselves into the 'X-cars'. But he didn't care about where they were going or why, he was waiting on one particular occupant of the house to show herself as agreed before departing with her purple-headed friend from the club last night. Taking one last lungful he allowed a charge of energy to flare across the cigarette butt before throwing it off towards the road, the filter glowing bright pink before burning itself up into dust and being blown away by the wind. A quick smile crossed Gambit's face at the display of his powers he learnt so long ago and mastered as a young demon before glancing upwards towards the top of the wall as a shadowed figure launched itself over it and landed silently on the grass not far from him. Blowing out the last of the smoke between his lips he casually ran his eyes over her body as she stood and dusted herself off.
Walking up to him Rogue tilted her head back to look him in the eye, her own eyes narrowed as her appearance changed to its natural form right in front of him. "Ah'm only usin' yah 'cause Ah have no ahdea the next tahme Ah'll fahnd an Incubus."
"Sure ya are." A smirk on his face as her glare darkened and she stormed past, his body melting into its demonic self before taking to the air after her. A few flaps on his larger wings brought Gambit level with her, dropping just below to give room for his wing to spread out for soaring. "Any particular place ya want to go?"
"Somewhere prahvate."
He gave a roll of his eyes as sarcasm dripped from every word. "Really? 'nd 'ere Ah was thinkin' we do it in public 'nd let all da mortals find out 'bout our kind." His tone lifted as the corner of his mouth did towards a smile. "Would be kinky too." A growl answered to tell him she found the response less than funny. "Ah know a place."
Angling his wings to gently arch around in the air the sound of Rogue's leathery wing membrane brushing against the wind told him she was following right behind him. As their powerful wings carrying them faster than any living air-born being and most of the transport on the roads beneath them their bladed wings easily cut through the nights air away from Bayville and back towards the city they met in last night. At a seemly random point Gambit pressed his added extensions close to his back, dropping quickly but flaring them out just before impacting hard against the side of a high class apartment building, waiting on the balcony that overlooked the city for Rogue to join him. As she landed his tail raised and inserted the main blade into the doors lock, twisting it violently before stepping aside as he pulled the door open and allow her entrance. Stepping in before him Rogue glanced around the spacious living quarters, not at all surprised to see the two dominate colours were red and black, but then again she wasn't one to talk with having an obsession with green.
Closing the sliding door behind him Gambit folded his wings neatly behind his back, not bothering to flick any lights on since they both easily could see despite the darkness. "'ad dis for a few years, use it now days w'en don't want to be 'round Mag's base. All dat metal 'round a homme who can control it gets unnervin'."
"Lahke a gahy who can look in yah head whenever he wants." Getting a chuckle as a reply Rogue turned her eye from the interior to the owner of it, her curiosity finally peaking. "What name do yah actually go bah? After all, what kahnd of name is Gambit?"
"W'at kind of name is Rogue?" He shot right back with a grin.
"Anna Raven, Marie D'Ancanto, Anna Marie Darkholme, Marian," She rattled off as if the names meant nothing to her. "Ah've used them all before, but Rogue suits better."
"Dat it does. Well Anna, Marie, Marian, let me reintroduce maself, Ah be Remy LeBeau, at ya service." Grins slyly before leaning towards her until their noses almost touched. "Now w'at's ya real name?"
Giving her own smile Rogue pulled her lips back into a vicious grin that showed her sharp teeth. "None of yah damn business."
Smirking he circled around her. "So 'ow ya want to do dis chèrie, as Cubi or mortal?" Moving up behind her to take her into his arms as he nipped the curve of her shoulder before she spun around to face him.
"Don't even trah it Swamp Rat."
"Try w'at?"
"To take dominance. Ah know what kahnd of egos yah Incubah have."
Holding up his hands in surrender his wings and tail lowered in a non-threatening way. "Of course chèrie. Ya wish is dis Incubi's command." Sweeping his hands out he gave a low bow.
Crossing her arms over her chest Rogue raised her chin confidently. "Good."
"Good." He echoed, stepping forward again and cupping her face in his hands to bring her lips to his. Gambit felt her body arch towards his, a light moan getting out as her mouth opened to his and let out a groan of disappointment as he shifted back. Tracing his lips down the edge of her jaw he pulled back from her skin long enough to ask. "'ow long?"
"Over two hundred years." She answered, instantly knowing what he meant. "What 'bout yah?"
Shrugging one shoulder Gambit pressed an open mouth kiss against on of hers. "Three."
"Three hundred?"
"Non, three years.
Her brows shot up at that. "Three? Three years! How yah manage that with so little Cubi 'round?"
"Ahh, well Ah got a good old amie who be down in N'Awlins posin' as an assassin who 'elps dis demon out with dat. Ma best friend, belle fille with gold 'orns 'nd eyes who lives up to 'er name: Belladonna." Lifting his head once again as he thought it over he shot her a smile. "Ya two would get on."
"Whah am Ah not surprahsed yah got a girl on call? She Black too?"
Wrapping his wings tightly around her body so they were pressed up together he lowered his head back down towards her face, "Don't worry chèrie, ya da only White for dis Incubus." Before claming her lips in another kiss.
Any sort of smart remark or sarcastic comeback instantly fled her mind the moment his lips touched hers again, her hands raising to cradle his face and keep it close to hers as she returned the kiss. He may be her enemy both as mortal and demon but a touch such like this in two centuries from one of her own kind – Black or not – was almost too much. Two hundred years was a long time, even for a kind that lived for millenniums. Rogue guessed it was her own fault as she let out a moan from his lips trailing down her neck again, the red bone of his horns scrapping lightly against her skin. She was the one that hadn't returned back to her home for so long, no one forced her to stay away, only her own hate towards the majority of her family and what they stood for. And what was expected of her.
As the pressure of his lips stopped she groaned in disappointment again and opened her eyes she didn't realised she closed, meeting his glowing stare as his hands slid down her sides, gently resting against the curves of her hips. Pulling his lips back to hers she allowed her own palms to drop from the back of his head, slipping around his neck before tracing along the line of his collarbone to the hard planes of his chest and abdomen, coming to a stop at the edge of his low armour. With some sort of silent acknowledgment between them their protective covering retracted back into their skin as their tongues grazed past the others sharp teeth, hands and lips exploring the others completely opposite skin colour until Rogue's legs were wrapped around his hips, him supporting her weight easily.
"So," Remy asked between placing kisses along her throat. "Still worried 'bout gettin' found out?"
Running her hands down the curves of his shoulder to circle around where his wings sprouted from his back Rogue felt a shiver run down his spine from her fingers teasing the sensitive folds of skin that linked the extra limbs to him. "At the moment, no, but ask meh 'gain when the royal guards come to cut our heads off."
Shaking his head he licked along where her neck met her shoulder. "So negative chèrie."
"Enough talk Swamp Rat." She said, nipping at his lower lip before pressing her lips against his hard.
Returning the kiss eagerly as his hands gripped her backside to keep her core held tight against him Remy carried her over to the small dining table, seating her on it before he trailed his fingers down along her thighs, shifting his hips long enough to slide into her. Leaning back on her arms and arching her back at the sensation Rogue instantly loved whatever part of her – whether it was her rebellious side towards her family's rules, her hormones or just thinking with her hips – that made her say yes, a low moan getting loose from her lips as she let her wings stretch out behind her. She bit her lower lip as Remy tugged her towards him more, lowering his mouth to her exposed chest and thrusting his hips expertly against hers. Their tails wrapped around the others, her thinner and more agile one coiling around his so the two set of green and red tail blades linked in together, preventing either from injuring the other with them. With her legs hooked around him her heels dug into the small of his back, holding him close to her as she matched his rhythm. Moving with each other for quite awhile before their actions became wilder a delicious tension grew for both, the tautness increasing in each until with a mutual cry they reached their peak.
Still coming down from the high as she gasped to get her breath back Rogue dropped backwards onto the table, her legs loosening around his hips but still staying linked as a tremor ran through her body, causing her tail blades to clink against his. "Wow."
"Oui." Panting along with her Remy leaned down, slipping his arms under the folds of her wings and holding her tight against his chest, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. "Ah got to agree with ya."
Brushing his hair back from his face Rogue placed a kiss against his mouth as she cupped his face in her hands, "Same tahme next week?" Getting a grin in reply to her answer.

Xavier's School for the Gifted.
Landing on the outer wall of the mansion and hooking her claws in to prevent her from falling Rogue allowed herself to fold her wing behind her back, unable to get the smile off her face during her flight back. Her doubts were well forgotten, at least for tonight, Remy had seen to that, multiple times. In truth she was surprised she had made it back to Bayville, her body drained but with a pleasant, warm kind of tiredness compared to the pain she experienced from being low on food. She felt almost giddy, and promised herself never to make fun of Kitty again when she went on giggling about what Lance had done for her again. Crawling along the wall she reached out and opened the window she had left unlocked to her room, finding an angry Raven in her true pure blue form void of clothing but with strategically placed scales covering everything that needed to be waiting for the Succubus with her hands on her hips and one foot tapping.
"Where have you been!"
Completely shocked by the tone of her friends voice Rogue froze halfway in the window, her good mood instantly gone as she feared the worse. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong! The concert Rogue! Our plan! Ring any bells?"
Cursing under her breath Rogue winced visually as she pulled herself the rest of the way into room, suddenly remembering their plan to make her 'powers' overload. "Shit. Ah'm sorry Raven, Ah got distracted."
"With what! What could be more important than this?" Waving her hands around her voice became higher-pitched with each word, her natural voice laced to sound like she was talking with multiple voices all at the same time.
Having enough of her friend's tone Rogue's features hardened. "Gettin' laid, Ok?"
"What?" Raven's mouth dropped open in shock. "You actually did it? You went after him?" Grabbing the Succubus she pulled her into a tight hug, a huge smile crossing her face. "Oh! I'm so proud of you!"
Stiffing in the embrace Rogue gave a roll of her eyes. "Shut up Raven."
"But I am! It's about time too."
"Yah're a complete dork." Shaking her off she gave the shape shifter a playful push. "Stop actin' lahke mah mother, yah're only playin' a part."
"I'm just happy for you, and I am nothing like your mother."
"Yes, she would be sayin'," Dropping her accent she perfectly mimicked her mother's voice, tilting her head up so she looked down her nose at her friend. "'Why can't you be Princess Perfect like your sister?' 'Why aren't you killing your meals?' 'You're placing shame on our great family!'"
Smirking at the impression Raven raised a brow as she crossed her arms. "You're mother wouldn't call your sister that."
Waving a hand Rogue dropped down to sit on her bed, allowing her body to shift into its mortal form. "Yeah but she should, that bitch is worse than Jean."
Taking a seat next to her she gave a chuckle. "And the little mortal wonders why you two don't get on. Is Grey really as bad as Helen?"
"No, but she remahnds meh too much of her." She mumbled and made a face at the memories of her oldest sibling.
"Either way, I'm going to have to have a talk to this boy to make sure he's treating my girl right."
"Raven!" Rogue's brows shot up at the mischievous look on Raven's face. "We're both older than yah… at least Ah think he is, he looks lahke he is."
"So what? You may be close to 1000 but I am mentally older than you, you've got the brain of a 19 year old."
"Yah just jealous Cubi live longer."
"Yeah, well not all of us can have a 4000 year lifespan and only age 20 years for each 1000." Raven shot back sarcastically as she got Rogue pouting at her.
Glaring at the blue woman Rogue snapped. "Shouldn't yah go before Wolverine picks up yah scent?"
Grinning now Raven moved over to the still open window. "Fine, change the subject, but I want details."
"Get out Raven!"

AN: If you can't guess, this took place during Self Possessed… or should of taken place since Rogue forgot to show up…
Oh, and considering they have wings and tails I thought the 'traditional' bed scene might of got a bit uncomfortable with all those extra appendages, plus this seems much more sexy…
Oh number two, if you can't place the names I gave Rogue: Anna Raven, Anna Marie Darkholme: Comics (normal). Marian: Comics (ultimate). Marie D'Ancanto: Movie.
