So without further ado, chapter 10

When they landed back at the institute Rogue, Gambit, Kitty, and Kurt all knew, without even being told, to follow Wolverine, as he stalked purposefully towards the institute, through the frond door, all the way to Xavier's office, where he knocked loudly on the door.

The door was pulled open quickly and Storm moved aside to let them pass. Huuh Rogue sighed when she saw Storm and professor Xavier, how many fuckin people have to hear about this? She thought irritably.

Xavier had immediately noticed when they walked in, that the psychic tension in the room had significantly increased. He had Rogue, Gambit, Kurt, and Kitty wait outside so that he and Storm could first hear Wolverine's account of what happened.

Wolverine explained his, Kurt, and Kitty's entire trip, from landing the jet, finding Rogue and Gambit, and flying back. "So what do we do Charles?" Storm asked. Xavier didn't answer he was looking down apparently deep in thought. Xavier finally looked up "first we hear Rogue and Remy's side of the story before doing anything."

Rogue and Gambit as well as Kurt and Kitty were called into the office. Rogue re-explained the story as best she could. When she got to the part of Wolverine stabbing Remy Xavier's head turned sharply to stare at Wolverine. Storm also stared at him in shock. Apparently he'd forgotten to mention that part.

After Rogue had finished Professor Xavier turned to Gambit, "do you have anything to add to that, Remy?" He asked. "Nope that pretty much summed it up" said Gambit, with a shrug.

"Well it is clear to me that the only two who acted completely honorably on this trip was Kurt and Kitty" said Professor Xavier "thank you, you both may leave now." Kurt and Kitty immediately got up and left the room.

Xavier then turned to Wolverine "Logan, words cannot express my shock at you're, for want of a better word, overreaction, we'll talk more about this later" his voice was quite and controlled but you could hear the anger in it.

Xavier looked to Rogue next, "Rogue what alarms me the most about you're part in this was you're complete disregard for your powers, did you even stop to consider what would happen if, say you rolled over and touched Remy in the middle of the night? He could have been dead before either of you awoke!" Rogue looked down in shame. She knew that with the collar on she hadn't really put Remy in any danger, but just the thought that they all thought she had was bad enough.

Seeing Rogue's expression, Remy quickly cut in "professor the only uncovered part of either of us was our faces, so unless she somehow rolled over in a way that her face came all the way over and touched Remy's there was really no way she could have hurt me, by accident."

Xavier ignored this saying instead "and Remy you're actions were completely immature, you simple don't sleep with an underage member of the opposite sex!" Remy held down a sigh, this was embarrassing to say the least, at least when he worked with magnet no one cared who he slept with.

Addressing both Rogue and Gambit now, Xavier cleared his throat and said, "I'm very disappointed in both of you, if ever a similar situation arises I want you to call before making any decisions, such as staying out all night. You both will stay inside this week, and for the rest of this month will have two extra training sessions each week. You are excused." Rogue and Gambit got up and walked out quietly.

Bobby Drake was crouching outside the door eavesdropping, he fell into step beside Rogue and Gambit and said, "Ok this is seriously wrong, you're 21 years old and you're being grounded!" "Shut up Drake," said Gambit trying to sound angry.

When they reached Rogue's bedroom Bobby ran off saying something about having to tell Tabitha about Remy being grounded! Remy rolled his eyes at bobby's retreating back. He then flashed his irresistible smile and said, "see ya soon, chere" before continuing towards his own room.

Rogue smiled back while thinking that if two weeks ago she'd seen herself right now she would have probably thought it was Mystique, or some other shapeshifter, and would most likely have been furious that whoever it was had put such a sappy smile on her face. Rogue pulled the door open and walked in, her smile instantly disappeared, two people were waiting for her, Kitty and Rogue's nemesis, Jean Gray.

Rogue's hatred for Jean had started all the way back when Rogue had came to the institute and developed an infatuation with Scott summers, who had his own crush on Jean. Jean liked Scott too, but was at the time dating one of the jocks at school named Duncan.

Rogue watched quietly as Jean continued playing with both boys' hearts. This went on for a long time, no one ever got mad at Jean for the simple fact that there was nothing to get mad at, Jean was perfect, or so Rogue thought, she was pretty, she was popular, she had her mutant power under control, she had Scott and Duncan both wrapped around her pretty little fingers, and she was oh so nice to everyone, even Rogue.

Jean hardly even seemed to realize why Rogue hated her so much, she even made an extra effort to be nice to Rogue. Rogue took Jean's continued niceness for pity, which she couldn't stand, and even though Rogue's old crush on Scott had waned her hatred of Jean still flourished.

Rogue scowled at her two visitors "the door was locked!" they both ignored her, or maybe just didn't hear her. The moment Rogue had walked in Jean, her face the picture of shock and distress, had burst out "Rogue I can't believe you slept with Remy!" "Oh you don't need to Jean, you can just forget it" Rogue said coolly.

She was ignored again as Jean continued, "my gosh Rogue what about the young female students like Amora, Rahne, and Jubilee, we're suppose to be setting them a good example!" "Jean seriously, can this wait until tomorrow? No offence but 10 lectures is my limit for the day" Rogue said rolling her eyes. "Oh I'm sorry Rogue, I didn't mean to nag. I guess this must have been a rough day for you" Jean said with a concerned look. "You've had 10 lectures today?" asked Kitty her eyes wide. "I was joking Kitty," Rogue said through gritted teeth.

"So like how bad It?" Kitty asked. "Grounded for a week and extra training sessions for this month" Rogue said with a shrug. "Could be worse" Jean put in "did Remy get the same punishment?" Rogue nodded "Bobby's already laughing about it, ya know, Remy being 21 and grounded, but I don't think Remy cares much" "why would he?" Kitty asked with a giggle "you're like, grounded together!" Jean giggled as well.

Rogue had, had about as much as she could take. "Not to be inhospitable or anything, but I didn't take a shower last night so can you two..." Rogue trailed off but added in her head, get out of my freakin room! "oh of course" said Jean, "come on Kitty" they both left, shutting the door behind them. Rogue sighed with relief before walking into the bathroom.

AN sorry that there's very little (pretty much no) ROMY in this chapter. I'll try to put some good ROMY fluff in the next one, no promises though! :)
