Finding the Power Within
Disclaimers: I do not own X-men: Evolution what so ever. I do own Erica Stiles and Alison. This story takes place some time during season three.but after 'under lock and key' I think was the ep title.
This chapter is for all of those Rogue and Gambit fans, a short moment between them^^
Part Eight
Rogue was sitting out on the bench after school waiting for the other X-men to hurry up so they could all head home. She sighed as she tried to think something to ponder as she waiting for her friends to arrive. Rogue turned her gaze down to the ground when she saw silver and black with trench coat. She turned her gaze upwards to see the red ruby eyes that had a trance the first time she saw them.
"What do you want?" Rogue asked with annoyance hinted in her tone.
"Nothing, chere just wanted to see you is all," The young man held out his hand to the Southern Belle as she looked at him cautiously and took his hand.
"I don't see why, the first time you tried to blow me up!" Rogue curtly stated as she tried to take her hand back was held in his grip.
He pulled her closer to him and held on arm around her waist, "But chere, I think you and I both know that it wasn't as charged as my other blows."
"Right, and why do you always call me chere?" Rogue asked as she struggled to get out of his grip but it only made him hold her closer.
"Who wouldn't call a beautiful girl like you chere?" He pulled Rogue's face ever closer to his, leaving a very small gap and Rogue frightened on what would happen next.
"You shouldn't get too close to me," Rogue said simply.
"I know of you powers," He stated with a smirk. "I'm not afraid of you having me in your head."
"But I am," Rogue turned her face away from him so he couldn't see the hurt in her eyes.
"So you do care," He whispered ever closely to her ear. "I don't think we've been properly introduced. I heard your friends call you Rouge."
"What?" Rogue turned her gaze back up to his eyes with shock written all over it. "Have you been following? Is magneto up to something?"
"Actually my dear, I have been watching you from a distance." He looked up see the other X-men were heading their way. He let her go but held onto her gloved hand and placed a kiss, "It seems your friends are coming, I must take my leave."
"No wait!" Rogue stopped him as she grabbed a hold of his arm, "Can you meet me later tonight?"
He looked at her with a warm smile, "What ever for?"
"I just want to talk to you a little more, is all. I want to know more about you," Rogue said staring deep into his eyes and well, got completely lost in them.
"Where?" He asked a low husky voice.
"The outskirts of the city just west of here, at midnight." Rogue quickly pointed into the direction as the young man just nodded and walked away.
Jean was the first to approach her, "Rogue what was that about?"
Rogue turned to the red head and shrugged, "Nothing to worry about."
"Rogue, something is going on.what is it?" Jean asked as she got a hold of Rogue's arm to stop her from avoiding the situation.
"Look, red.it's none of your business." Rogue said angrily.
"Yes it is, you're my team mate." Jean argued as the rest of the X-men saw the argument unfold between Jean and Rogue.
"Should we go and break it up?" Kurt asked as he watched his sister, though she was adopted into the family by Mystique he still considered her his sister.
"I don't know man it's getting pretty ugly between the two," Evan said holding his skate board in hand watching the girls have a verbal sparring match.
"You have to admit this is a pretty good cat fight, just without the violence." Bobby shrugged, "besides if we were to stop them, who would get between them?"
Alison had decided for the group if someone was going to interfere, and well she was the one. Alison stepped in between the girls and pushed that away from each other. The two girls stopped their bickering as they were separated.
"So what's this about?" Alison asked the girls with a questioning glare.
"Rogue was talking to one of Magneto's goons and so I asked what was her business," Jean continued to glare at the younger x-man.
"Well, it's none of your business what I do!" Rogue turned so her back was facing Jean.
"Alright, let's not argue over something like this. Let's just go home peacefully," Alison suggested making sure the distance was kept between the two girls.
"Well, I'm not riding home with miss know-it-all," Rogue stated simply still keeping her back turned.
"Then who are you going to go home with?" Jean stated matter-of-factly, "The van is full, Scott's car is full, and my SUV is the only that has space for you."
"She can ride home with me," Alison stated simply. "I have an extra helmet anyway."
"Fine!" Jean stormed off to her SUV as the ones who were riding with her rushed to catch up with her. Then shortly afterwards the rest of the group went their ways to the respective vehicles. Alison and Rogue were left at their spot for a few moments.
"So, really what was it about?" Alison asked placing a hand on Rogue's shoulder.
"I saw him, Ally and we talked." Rogue said simply with a sigh and her shoulders slumped.
"I see, anything interesting happen?" Alison asked with a teasing tone as she motioned Rogue to walk forward.
Rogue began to walk beside Alison, "I asked him to meet me at midnight over at the outskirts."
"I see, but what about curfew and how are you going to get there?" Alison asked at they made it to Logan's motorcycle.
Alison handed Rogue the spare helmet and then put hers on, "I was hoping you could sneak out with me and take me there. I mean because I want to be able to touch him.and."
"Say no more, I think it'll be fun to break a few rules tonight." Alison winked as they both got onto the motorbike.
"You really mean it?" Rogue asked as she got situated behind Alison.
"Yea, I do. So let's rock and roll it, hmmm?" Alison started the motorbike and raced off back to the institute. They quickly passed up the Van, Scott's car, and Jean's SUV. Rogue waved to all of their friends as they sped off home.

Later that night, Rogue quickly changed into day clothes and rushed over to Alison's room. Alison was sitting on her bed waiting for the younger girl to arrive; Alison smiled as she showed up just at 11:30 pm. They both nodded as Rogue stood next to Alison to be enclosed in a force field. They floated their way down to the garage. Alison had gotten Scott's keys in the middle of the night after he had fallen asleep and Rogue sat in the passenger seat.
The girls sped off to the meeting point and Rogue just looked at Alison with a smile, "Thanks Alison."
"Sure no problem." Alison laughed, "It's been a while since I've broken some rules."
"What do you mean?" Rogue asked with a confused expression.
"I guess Storm and Logan didn't tell you the whole story about me, huh?" Alison looked over to the confused Rogue to see her shake her head no. "Well.I use to break the rules all the time when I was younger. At school, I didn't break them at all.they all thought I was an angel, but at home I would drive Logan and Storm crazy."
"What did you do?" Rogue asked.
Alison laughed, "Sneak out mostly. I always wanted to go swimming, so I would sneak out and take a late night swim. Also there was a no flying rule, I would fly around the institute all the time."
Rogue laughed, "I can only imagine seeing a lil Alison causing havoc, it's kind of hard to believe."
"Believe it or not, it's true." Alison said with a smile as they were drawing closer to their destination point. "I think he's waiting for you."
As Alison pulled the car into a stop, there was a black motorcycle parked next to the tree. Rogue than looked at Alison with pleading eyes and knew what she meant without readying her mind. She placed two fingers on her forehead and found Rogue's mental control.
Once it was there, Alison smiled, "There, but remember it doesn't last long and be careful."
Rogue nodded, slipped off her gloves, and got out of the car to see the guy with red hair and ruby red eyes waiting for her. He was sitting down on the small slope with his back to her. She sat down next to him as he noticed her presence.
"You made it chere." He said simply with a warm smile.
"Yea, I did." Rogue looked up to the cloudless night to see the stars shining down brightly. "You know, before I ask what I wanted to ask you."
"Yes?"
"What is your name?" Rogue asked turning her gaze to the young man next to her.
"The name is Remy LeBeau, but others call me Gambit." Gambit gave her a warm smile. "Who is the girl in the car?"
"Oh, she's my ride and she helped me sneak out to see you." Rogue replied casually as they turned to see Alison just relaxing the car.
"I see, so what is it that you wanted to ask me?" Gambit asked as Rogue's attention was back on him.
"Well.you see, there is a dance this Friday at the school, if you're not too tied down with Magneto.I was hoping you would show up." Rogue said with a warm smile.
"I'll see what I can do," Gambit said as he brought out a long stem red rose and held it out for Rogue. "For you chere."
"Thank you," Rogue took the rose and began to play with the petals with her fingers, and that's when Gambit noticed her hands were not in gloves.
"Where are your gloves chere?" Gambit asked.
"There is another reason why the other girl is here," Rogue stated. "You see, I can't control my powers yet but she can find the mental control I have somewhere locked up in my brain to control them for a little while."
"So that means I can touch you?" Gambit asked hopefully.
"Yea, why?" Rogue didn't have time to think about her next question as she felt his lips on her own. Her eyes went wide open but slowly closed them. It was her first real kiss without fear and she didn't mind that they had one audience member, but it seemed she wasn't paying any attention at all.
It was a sweet kiss, not demanding just requesting for more, but Gambit pulled away to see the dreamy look on Rogue's face. He caressed her face as Rogue slowly opened her eyes to meet his. Gambit wore a lop sided grin that made Rogue smile.
"I should leave before Magneto finds me." Gambit said softly. "But I'll try to see you Friday night."
Rogue was about to say something as he placed a quick kiss on her lips and took his leave. Rogue then stood up and watched him get on his motorcycle. He turned to face her and winked at her as he drove off into the night. Rogue watched him as he left and made her way over to the car where Alison waited for her.
"Well that was brief," Alison stated simply as Rogue got in. Alison noticed Rogue's face expression was one between happiness and confusion. Alison smiled, "He was sincere Rogue."
A smile appeared on Rogue's lips as the girls made their way back home to the institute, but they both knew they were going to get a lecture on their arrival.
