"Guys, Hank finished analyzing the bullet," Jean said walking out on the back porch her eyes widening she saw Remy holding Rogue.

"Thanks, Jean" Rogue said sliding out of Remy's arms easily, as if she'd been doing it for years. Remy couldn't help but think about how easily he'd let Rogue slip away when he left. Together they both went into Hank's lab. Remy said in a chair while Rogue stood against the edge of the desk, her hands on her narrow hips slighlty as if daring someone to try and hurt her again.

"The bullets were fired from a .44, but there's nothing else on them that could help me figure out who the shooter was."

"So ya're sayin someone tried ta kiss us, missed, an didn't even leave a clue bout who da hell they are?" Rogue asked banging one of her fists on the table shaking

slightly. Remy jumped out of his chair. He had never seen her like this. He'd seen her furious, but this was different, this wasn't just regular anger, no this was fear.

"Rogue, I'm sure we find out some more information with time, the bullet is just one piece of evidence, right now we have everyone scouring the property for

anything else that might help lead us to the person behind this. Until then, Professor wants both of you to stay at a hotel, under fake names, to make sure that you're

safe." Hank continued talking but neither Rogue or Remy heard him. They were both staring at each other in shock.

"Wait, we're gonna be stayin together, in a hotel?" Remy asked blinking in disbelief as his fingers curled around the picture of Kathy in his pocket.

"Ah've gotta live with that Swamp Rat!"

"Yes, Xavier believes you will be safer that way," Hank repeated rolling his eyes at the two reactions.

"It could be worse, chere, ya could be dead," Remy stated looking at Rogue and trying not to remember how they used to fight and argue about every little thing.

"No, death would be better den living with ya," she snapped back falling perfectly into the rhythm of their old style. Remy looked at her in almost shock.

Is she flirting with moi?

Oh mah God, Ah'm still in love with him. Rogue and Remy both looked at Hank and glared at him glancing sideways at each other.
