If the French is wrong I'm sorry I just go by what my French teacher tells me. So on with the story.
They drove for what seemed like minutes to Rogue. She opened her eyes a little disappointed that the fun ride was over. They were at a small restaurant. She could see Mardi Gradi mask in the window and other cajun decorations.
"Where are we?" she asked looking around.
"At John's Cajun Cooking Restaurant." Rogue smiled evilly
"Maybe Ah don't like cajun things." Remy laughed.
"Come on try it ya just might like it." He smiled. He put on the kickstand and hopped off pulling her with him into the restaurant.
"Bonjour."
"Bonjour Monsieur Remy." said a little bleach blonde. "Just sit down at your table. I'll be there in a minute."
"Oui. Come on Cher." They sat down at a table near the back.
"Monsieur Remy eh?" Rogue said raising an eyebrow.
"Genevieve is the manager's daughter and he and I are friends."
"And you and her?"
"Me and Gen?" He laughed.
"What's so funny she is attractive." Rogue frowned. Remy wiped his eyes and smiled
"Genevieve is married or soon to be anyway some French business man, Pierre, I think. I heard he is really nice."
"Oh.'' she felt suddenly very stupid.
"Besides Roguey no one can compare with ya Chere."
"Stop calling me that I know what it means."
"Come on Cher." he wiggled his eyebrows charmingly.
"I am not your darling."
"Um pardon?" the two looked up to see the little blonde waitress her tiny name tag read Genevieve. " Maybe I should come back later." she drawled with a French accent.
"Non Gen deux cartes." Remy said. Genevieve reached into her apron pocket and pulled out two menus.
"Vous desirez?" she asked. Remy scanned the back of the menu.
"Un coca, Dr. Pepper." He looked at Rogue "Pour tu? I mean what do you..."
"Un cafe, beacoup le surce." Rogue interrupted. Genevieve disappeared. Remy smiled as he leaned forward.
"So where did you learn French?" He said in a sly way. Rogue waved her hand in dismissal.
"Irene would speak it from time to time and plus I grew up with alot of cajuns."
"I never knew." Rogue smirked
"There is alot about me people don't know." Remy leaned farther.
"It's sexy when you speak it." Rogue glared at him. Just then Genevieve came with a Dr. Pepper and a coffee with lots of sugar.
"Merci." they both said.
"Ya ready to order?"
"I'll take some gumbo, petite." Remy ordered.
"Make it 2 with bread." The waitress disappeared again. Rogue turned to Remy. "So?"
"So..."
"So you still haven't told me why your here."
"Why mon chere ya break my heart Remy came to see ya of course."
"But why? What cause you to come now? What about your father?"
"Pere? He and I had shall ya say a different view on matters." Rogue leaned forward in interest.
"Ah'm listening." Remy sighed.
"After ya left I realized that I didn't want to be a thief anymore. I was sick of the guild's tricky ways and doing Jean-Luc's dirty work. I told him that I was through and wanted out."
"I'm taking it that he didn't take it well." Remy snickered.
"Thing is Cher I was one of Jean-Luc's best thieves, ya hafta be in order to survive. He trained me since I was a bebe and my powers are very useful in guild wars. No one dares to mess with someone who can blow up your whole hide-out just by touching it."
Rogue nodded knowingly.
"Plus my eyes make some think I'm some kind of demon spawn or something." He grinned "With the exception of one sassy southern belle." She smirked.
"Anyway he and I got into many huge fights, till one day I just left, took what little I owned and hopped on a bus to New York and here I am." he leaned back putting a cigarette in his mouth but put it away at Rogue frown
"So what are you doing here?"
"Well I was going to join the X-men but I don't think I'll be welcome. So I bought an apartment for cheap and got a job here cooking." Genevieve came and gave them their gumbo.
"Bon appeite."
"Merci, enjoy Rogue."
Rogue looked down at the food and at him "You made this didn't you?"
"Oui." Rogue took a bite and smiled
"Mmm tastes like home."
"Thought you'd like it."
"But how did you know?" Remy shrugged his shoulders
"Lucky guess?"
"Great guess."
"Remy!" The two saw a rather large woman. She looked very angry. And she was headed right for Remy!
