Chapter 7 – The Third Degree
Kitty's eyes were wide with shock as she stood at the open door with Logan at her heels. Remy jumped off the bed and subsequently off of Rogue and Rogue sat up, smoothing her hair. Wolverine let out a growl and stalked in, grabbing Remy by the scruff of his neck. Remy let out a yelp but let Logan lead him out and down the corridor.
"Stripes, get ya arse down here, and you too Half Pint!"
Rogue scowled at Kitty on the way out, walking down the corridors to what she knew was the Professors office. Kitty ran up behind her, grabbing her shoulder.
"Rogue, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you two were kissing,"
Rogue sighed. There was no point blaming Kitty. Logan was there too; they were going to get caught anyway. She pulled Kitty forward so that she was walking next to her. Logan still painfully had hold of Remy in front.
"No, it wasn't your fault. How was your date?"
Kitty grinned.
"We went to the movies and watched this, like, really romantic film. We shared a Coke and then went for a long walk in the park. I could actually, like, keep up a conversation with him, you know, because with Lance it was mainly grunts and making out. We kind of broke curfew, but I couldn't care less!"
"So did anything else happen?" Rogue asked.
"Yes! He kissed me!"
Rogue gasped and whipped around, staring at her friend with glistening eyes.
"Really?"
Kitty grinned, "It was amazing. It was actually, like, a proper kiss, with his tongue in my mouth and everything. Lance just slobbered on me. This one was, like, really tender," Kitty studied Rogue, "So what happened between you two?"
They arrived outside the Professor's office so Rogue didn't have chance to answer Kitty as Logan pounded on the door.
"Come in,"
Logan pushed open the door, dragging Remy through with him. The Professor sat behind his desk, looking extremely tired Beast sat in the chair near the window, obviously having a last talk with the Professor before bed. The Professor looked up and frowned, concern crossing his features.
"Is there a problem, Logan?"
Logan let out a sarcastic laugh, "Well, Half Pint and Tin Man came in 3 hours after curfew and Gumbo is out of bed and in Rogue's room at midnight, so you tell me!"
Henry stood, releasing Remy from Logan's tight grip.
"Why are you out of bed, Mr. Lebeau?" Henry asked.
"It's Remy, and I was bored and hungry,"
"And also, Gumbo, you ain't supposed to be in Stripes room,"
"Ah can explain thaht one, Logan." Rogue cut in "Ya see, Ah needed a drink and Ah went into the kitchen ta get one and Ah tripped on my ankle. Ah didn't think Doc was awake so Ah thought Ah would sort it in the morning. Remy carried meh back ta my room, thahts all," She sent a glance at Remy to confirm.
"Oui that's right," he said.
"Right," the Professor said, "Now that that's sorted. Thank you, Logan and Henry if you would take Remy back to the Infirmary and Kitty and Rogue, you can go back to bed. Goodnight all of you,"
"How is your ankle now Rogue," asked Henry, with a knowing look on his face. Rogue gulped.
"Its fahne, thanks,"
Henry nodded and took Remy by the arm, pulling him gently back to the Infirmary and Rogue followed Kitty out of the room. She caught Remy's eye and he smiled at her and winked. She couldn't help but smile back. Kitty grabbed her.
"You are telling me everything!"

Rogue, Kitty and Wanda sat in a circle on the floor in between their beds. Rogue had explained everything up to her and Remy waking up and the two other girls were listening intently.
"So he told you what everything meant?" Wanda asked.
Rogue nodded and reviewed what he had said over to them.
"Like, Jesus," Kitty said.
"Ah know," Rogue sighed.
"What happened next," Wanda pushed, reaching for her secret stash of candy and offering the others some.
"Erm… he said he loved me," she mumbled.
"WHAT!"
"Shh!" Rogue said, "Ya want Logan ta hear us?"
Both girls stared at Rogue with their mouths hanging open.
"So he actually said, "I love you"?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah,"
Kitty squealed and Rogue flew at her, covering her mouth with her hand. If Logan found them still awake, he would skin them. She continued, her hand lifting off Kitty's mouth
"And Ah did what Ah should have done afterwards,"
"You hit him?" Kitty looked horrified.
"No!" She threw a pillow at Kitty, "Ah said, "Ah love ya too, and we were kind of kissing through the sheet when ya cahme in""
Wanda jumped up and grabbed Rogues covered arms, dancing in a weird circle. Kitty joined in for a while but then they could hear heavy boots of the corridor. Logan walked in to find all three girls fast asleep in their beds.

Henry half-walked, half-dragged Remy along the corridors and back into the Infirmary. Remy was determined to slow down the journey by planting his feet firmly in the ground and pulling backwards as far as he could without jarring his side. Henry sighed and stopped.
"Is there somewhere you would like to go? You are making it extremely hard to take you back to the Infirmary,"
Remy smirked, "Well, no y mention it. I wouldn't mind going t see Piotr before he goes t sleep," His eyebrows wiggled suggestively.
Another sigh, "Will you go to bed straight after if I take you to him?"
"Only if I get 10 minutes just talking to him,"
"Fine, come one,"
Remy punched the air with a triumphant shout, pulling his side painfully. Beast shook his head and lead him in the direction of Piotrs room.

Piotrs face lit up as Remy entered the room. He walked up and threw his muscled arms around his friend. Remy gasped for air but hugged him back. Beast left the room to stand outside the door to wait for Remy.
"I heard all about y date with Kitty," Remy said as Piotr released him.
"Really? What did you hear?" the Russian asked.
Remy smirked, "Dat you went to de cinema and den a walk in de park. You kissed her right?"
Piotr visibly blushed and mumbled a "yes".
"Don't worry, mon ami, she liked it,"
"She did?"
Remy nodded. A smile spread across Piotrs face, lighting up his eyes as the smile reached his ears.
"That was my first kiss," he confessed.
Remy's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He knew that Piotr was a virgin after a twisted game of Truth or Dare but he had no idea about Piotrs kissing status.
"Well, dat was good den, non?"
Piotr glanced at his friend as Remy sunk down onto the bed.
"Why are you out of bed?"
"Now your giving me de tird degree. I've had it, like, 4 times tonight. Did I just say "like"?" Remy slapped his head, "I'm turning into Kitty,"
"She only says like when she's nervous or needs to say a lot," Piotr said, "You didn't answer my question,"
Remy reviewed over all that had happened while Piotr sat perfectly still and listened, asking small questions everyone now and again.
"I told her dat I loved her," Remy said quietly.
Piotr smiled, "Well done,"
"I didn't tink I could do it. It just slipped out," Remy grinned, "The words, not anything else, but "something else" was threatening," His eyebrows wiggled.
Piotr grimaced, "Do you mind not talking that way,"
Remy smirked but it soon disappeared as Beast knocked on the door.
"Time's up Remy!"
Remy growled and stalked towards the door, waving goodbye to Piotr and then letting Beast drag him back to bed.

Next morning…
"Awww, but Doc, I was good last time! And I came straight back up here when y asked me to!" Remy whined.
"But you also went on a little escapade last night," Beast reminded him.
"Y wasn't feeding me right tough!"
Remy lowered his head and looked up at Beast through his eyelashes, putting the puppy dog eyes to effect once again. He blinked a few times, making tears come to his eyes.
"Those aren't going to work,"
"I promise I'll do what I did last time and I'll keep John under control; I'll put him on a leash!"
The furry man sighed; it was becoming a common gesture when he was around Remy and nodded silently. Remy jumped up, grabbing Piotr on the way and headed down the stairs.

Dressed in a pair of black khaki pants and a green long sleeved top, Rogue thought she looked quite good. She pulled on her combat boots, slapped on her "war paint" and yelled for Kitty and Wanda to wake up. It was Saturday after all and she had some serious Cajun-hunting to do. She couldn't believe what they had done last night. Kissing him, even through a sheet had felt amazing and, hell, she wanted to do it more often. She made a vow to herself to concentrate harder in the sessions with the Professor to try to overcome her powers. She could do it; she would do it. Remy had given her hope. And if she couldn't do it, there was always a sheet and a condom to fall back on. Grinning like a fool, she strutted down the corridors and into the kitchen, where the usual food fight had already started. John and Kurt were arguing (surprise, surprise!) and Jean and Scott were already smooching over the coffee machine, her main target. She rudely shoved past them, grabbing a strong black coffee and then searching for a reasonably decent spot to sit. Her emerald eyes sought out Remy and Piotr, sat in the corner, near the window. Tabitha sat near to Remy, giggling uncontrollably at every word he said. Rogue felt like throwing up. Not only because of the sheer patheticness of it all, but also because Tabby was sat in the seat that Rogue coveted most; the seat next to her Cajun. And there was special emphasis on "her".
She took a seat next to Roberto, who was talking to ray and Bobby about God knows what. Her gaze kept traveling over to him and he caught her eye. He rolled his eyes and mouthed "save me" to her in regard to Tabby. She smirked and shook her head. He scowled and she rose from her seat, walking over to him, her coffee in her hand. He looked amazing; dark blue jeans that were tight in all the right places, a Henley top with a collar and his usual trainers. His hair looked like he hadn't done anything with it, but it still looked damn sexy. He flashed a winning smile at her and she sat down next to him. Tabby scowled and gave up, moving away huffily.
John stole Kurt's doughnut (doughnuts for breakfast?) and ran off with it. Kurt teleported after him but didn't manage to get it back. Remy stood up and caught John by the collar of his shirt.
"Give the doughnut back," he said warningly, like he was disciplining a dog.
John handed out the doughnut sheepishly and Kurt thanked Remy. Remy smiled back. He needed to get on Kurt's good side because of Rogue. John quickly got away but stood up on one of the chairs.
"Oy have an announcement to moike," John shouted. The room went silent.
"We are now X-men," he squealed. Kurt groaned but Wanda's face lit up. Rogue saw it and laughed. The Scarlet Witch had a soft spot of the Pyromaniac.
Rogue looked at Remy and he looked back at her, losing themselves in each others eyes. She leant forward, wrapping her arms around his neck. She didn't know why she did it. It just felt like the right thing to do at the time and, hell, did it feel good. It felt even better when his arms snaked around her waist, pulling her towards his body. Neither of them noticed that the room had gone silent.
A series of wolf-whistles penetrated the air and Rogue felt Remy chuckle against her. The smile was cracking on her face before she could stop it and soon she was laughing along with them. She stopped when she heard the Professors voice in her head.
Would you come to my office please Rogue
Rogue stood up and Remy caught her arm. She could feel the heat of him radiating through the shirt she was wearing.
"Where y going, Chere?"
She leant down so that he could easily see her cleavage. She smiled at his reaction, which was his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
"Going ta the Professors office," she whispered sexily, her breath just tickling his ear. He released her, placing a gentle kiss on her gloved hand. She blew him a kiss as she left the room, which he pretended to catch, then sprinted to the Professors office
xxxxx
The Professor motioned for her to sit and she sunk into one of the huge armchairs opposite his desk. He laced his fingers and leant over the desk to talk to her.
"I have good news, Rogue,"
Her eyes lifted from her lap, which she had found very interesting up until then.
"Oh yeah," she said.
The Professor smiled, "I have found the place where your powers are powered from. A control room if you like. I have figured out that you can switch them off,"
He gave her a few minutes to take it in. Rogue sat in silence, contemplating what the Professor had told her. However much she hated her powers, she loved them. They gave her a sense of security and protection. But she craved touch, and she wanted to hug people, give people a handshake, kiss people, make love to Remy…
She looked back into the Professors eyes.
"Do it," she said.
