Common misconception
Chapter ten: I wan't it back
Ah think it was around noon when we left the motel. We did the same as usual, piled inta the car and didn't say a word. But he kept lookin' over at me, like he was trying to speak or somethin'. Ah leaned mah head against the window, ah was still tired but ah couldn't sleep in the front seat of Gambits car. Ah still didn't know where we were, there was nothin but dirt feilds every few seconds, and maybe an odd farm house or two down the road.
~'~'~'~
Remy looked over at Rogue. Running his eyes over her face, she was thinking about something. His thoughts drifted slightley, untill he scared himself, swerving the car as he was brought back to reality. Rogue looked at him.
"What tha hell is up with you?" Rogue ast a litle startled.
"Nothin' cherie. Remy juss be spacein' out a bit." He said, returning to the road.
"Well if ya gonna space out and it's gonna cause an acsident lihke last night, ah'd prefer ya to just not dive." Rogue said, rubbing her aching neck after being thrown to the floor like a ragdoll the previous evening.
"Den Remy will try to keep his attention on de road chere." He said with a nod, then got a twinge in his head, he knew what was happening and started to pull over. Rogue looked over at him a litle confused. "Rogue, der's sometin' wrong with de chip....dese headachs wern't as bad as dis before. Der wern't as many." Remy said rubbing his eyes and leaning on the stearing wheel.
"Well, ya have onley got two and a half weeks left till it blows."
"Y' put a man at ease chere, y' realy do." Remy said quietley with a hint of sarcasm then cringed again, he leaned his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. "dis is gonna get worse chere......an' if it does, I might not be able to get the next peace when we reach de place next week.....It might be up to you p'tite." Remy said, tierdley leaning her way.
"Cayn't ya take some pain killers or somethin'?"
"Non....I started, but it juss helped de blackouts. Ma first blackout I think, was that time in the batheroom, I don't remember hittin the mirror so I must have blacked out. Dat was after I took a few pills."
"A few?" She asked raising an eyebrow and leaving her lips slightley parted with the supprise of his statemeant.
"Oui.....ok, maybe 6...I don' know chere...how ever many fit in de palm of ma hand." He said. Rogue shook her head. "What?"
"Your an idiot, ya not sposed ta take more than two pills at a time." She said folding her ams and glairing at him. "Are ya tryna' kill y'elf faster?"
"......Y' scowldin' me chere?" He said, raising a smirk.
Rogue shook her head, quite annoyed that he wasn't listening to her. "Whatever swamp rat. There are more pills in the glove compartmeant if ya wonna take some more, ill get you the water." Rogue said with a cruel and short smirk, then started to face out of the window.
"Awww, chere...dat was cruel. Y' wan't Remy t' take a paket of pills? Okay." Remy said, reaching for the glove compartmeant, rogue looked at him a litle startled at first then snapped her hand out and grasped his wrist. "Remy knew y' loved 'im chere." He said with a smirk as Rogue took the pills. She shook her head and took out two, then smacked them down into his hand.
Rogue reached into the back seat and pulled a small botle of fizzy vimpto from the bag that once contained a botle of JD. She unscrewed the lid and handed it to him. "There isn't any water." She said, then watched him swallow the pills with gulps of the liguid.
"P'tite....dat stuff tastes like crap." Remy said, pulling a face as he handed it back to her.
"Ah know. But it goes nice with Jack Danials." Rogue stated.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night, Remy pulled into a small town, in which there was a motel, a bar, a few barns and a gas station. Remy pulled up the car and got the onley room that was left...one with a singe bed. Rogue stood in the doorway of the dingey looking room, that had water stains running down the walls. She sighed, her onley thought was that of the instituit, her home.
"Im goin out p'tite. Wonna come?" Gambit asked, standing at the door of the motel room, swinging some keys on his fingers.
"No. Ah'd rather be havein' mah eyes gouged out with spoons, at least then ah'd be away from you." Rogue hissed.
"Remy don' get dis chere....Y' were fine with 'im dis mornin'. We even managed t' pull off a conversation in de car....sure it was about y' tellin Gambit t' take an overdose but still."
Rogue didn't say anything, she just turned away, egnoring him. There it was again', that dull throbb behind his eyes, the raise in heartbeat, blood rushing to his head as his hands turned into fists. He felt odd this time. He did remember feeling like this twice before. The batheroom of the hotel room and.....and? And the woods, both times that he 'blacked out'.
"Chere, I need t' leave....when I go, lock de door, an If Im angrey when I get back, don let me in, ok?" Remy said through grinding teeth as he closed his eyes doing the 'count to ten' sequence. Rogue looked up to him and saw that he was feeling something strange. He glaired at her and stepped forward, grabbing the collar of her shirt with both hands, he pulled her to him and yelled in her face, his eyes glowing with angar. "UNDERSTAND!?"
Rogue nodded, finding herself frozen again. Gambit pushed her down to the floor and walked out of the motel room, slamming the door. "Asshole." She mutterd, then proceeded to do as he had instructed.
She sat down on the poor excuse for a bed and sighed deepley. She looked around at the room which looked as though it needed to be disinfected a few times before it should be liveable, with cobwebs in every corner of the room, mold running along the walls from the damp. Rogue closed her eyes. At the end of this week it would be the summer holidays away from school and the x-men would have plenty of things planned for the summer.
~'~'~'~
At that point, ah was beginnin' ta think that ah was the cause of his mood swings. Ha ha, thats actually funny, haveing that effect on people. But at the time it pissed me off beond belief, and ah couldn't do a damn thing about it. Ah was sick of being so damn helpless in every decision that inclooded me. Every damn thing that awas happening to me was out of mah hands, or ah was just stuck between mah conchence and mah mind, conflicting everything so ah couldn't make a decision.
~'~'~'~
Rogue sat in the silence of the room that didn't even have a tv, for an hour or so, before decideing to take a walk. She threw on a hooded jacket and walked out of the door. It was 1am, deadley quiet and chillingley cold. She wrapped the material around herself and began to walk along the porch of the motel, then walked down the steps and towards the bar. 'Maybe thers a phone.' she thought, shivering and wrapping up again. It may be warm in the daytime, but its freezing in the darkness of the early hours.
Rogue put a hand on the door of the bar, then paused. She didn't like the sound of the place, and she didn't want to enter, but she needed a phone. She took a deep breath and pushed through the door. It must have been open all hours for the guys who pass bye in the trucks and things. The guys must be thirsty after spending so much time on the road, maybe they prefurr drinking than sleeping?
Rogue stopped and looked around, gaining some strainge looks from the men that noticed her. She spotted Gambit at the bar, talking to one of the partially dressed waitresses, his smirks and seductive eyes throwing out all they had to the girl who was takeing the bait. So she decided to get some change from him for the phone, before he dissapeard for the night. But then she stopped, seeing the girl wisper something in Gambits ear with a smirk that says -Im-being-a-bad-girl. She saw Gambit look up at the pritty blond, blink a few times then shake his head and return to his drink on the bar.
The pritty blond girl bit on her lip, turning slightley scarlet and walked away, offering Gambit a pleading glance before exiting into the back of the establishmeant. Rogue was shocked to say the least. Remy LeBeau just turned down a quick scuffle in an alley way with a cute, blond, blue eyed girl. She grinned and walked over, droping down onto a seat next to the cajun, she let out a chuckle, startleing him, he turned and faced her.
"Thought y' were stayin away from me?" He said coldley.
"Ah need some change for the phone swamp rat.....and ah just saw something extreamley strainge.....did you just pass up an oppertunity to sleep with that bimbo that just left?"
Gambit looked at Rogue and smiled sheepishley. "Remy has his reasons chere." He produced some change and handed it to Rogue. "Wait, who are y' callin chere?"
"Alistor." She said quietley, as she withdrew her hand that was now full of change. She saw Gambit look up sharpley, then divert his eyes.
"De homme from de brotherhood?" He said, almost accusingley.
"Yea......whats up with you?" She asked, looking at the frown that tilted his brow. "Don't lihke mah friends swamp rat? Well ahm sure they won't lihke you nither." She said, before swinginh round on the stool and heading towards the phone. Gambit watched her like a hawk.
Rogue dialled Alistors cell number, then heard his sleepy voice answer after 5 rings. "Hello." He wisperd.
"Ali....hey, its Rogue." She said, noticeing Gambit had dissapeard from his spot at the bar, she turned back to face the wall.
"Rogue?!" He almost shouted out in shock. "Jesus crist, where have you been? Me and Teren have been goin' crazy, your guys from the instituit wont tell us anything, and they keep dissapearing from school in the middle of the day, kitty said that they keep just looking for you, and when they get a lead, they have to follow it. So im guessing youve been kidnapped." Alistor finally said after ranting, seeming slightley startled at the roudy noise comming from where Rogue was calling from.
"Yea...Kidnapped, again. But this guy needs mah help,...he's got a chip in his head, that makes him do things." She said, feeding mor money into the phone. "Its that damn cajun...y'know, the Acolyte."
"Where are you Ro'?" He asked, sounding more pleading than anything.
"Ahm in a bar somewhere in the middle of no-where....ah couldn't tell ya if ah wonned to, cos' ah don't know." She sighed. "Ali....ah need ya ta do somethin' fer me."
"Sure, anything."
"Ah need ya ta talk ta Logan fer me."
"Anythin' but that." Alistor said plainley. "Come on Ro'. y;know we dont exactley see eye ta eye......literally."
"Come on Alistor...Ah need ya ta tell him not ta worry about me. Ah must have scared him when ah just called up lihke ah did." Rogue fed in some more money, then held the last coin in the slot.
"What do ya mean, like you did?"
"Well, ah can controle mah power now....but Gambit helped me do it. And when he did,....he.....he tried ta rape me, and ah called Logan.....ah was terrafied Ali....ah didn't mean ta.... and ah think ah scared him."
"Shit Rogue! Why didn'cha drain him?!" Alistor yelled, clearley upset with being told that his best friend was almost raped.
"Cos' mah power was stuck on off when he tride....But he wasn't himseld Ali....the chip, it makes him do things. It's not his fault." Rogue dropped in the last coin.
"I don't care! Im gonna kill the fucker!"
"Ali! Please, just calm down ya damn jackass! It's not his fault ok....and ah need ta help him with this or he's gonna die."
---"You have one minuet remaining" Came the computer oporated voice on the phone.
"Ali, ahm runnin outa cash so just tell everyone that ahm ok and ahm sorry that ah scared everyone.....ah'll talk to ya soon okay?"
"Rogue, just tell me where you are and ill-" *Click.* The phone ran out of money and the line was dissconnected. Rogue growled and hung up the phone, then found Gambits gloved hand on her shoulder, she shrugged it off and glaired at him.
"Do Not Touch Me. Understand?" She snapped, seeing Gambits mouth open to say something, she just walked out of the bar, with Gambit in toe.
"Come on cherie....talk to Gambit." He ran up to her, falling into step at her side. "Why are y' bein so hot 'n cold with Remy?"
"Tell Remy, that ah don't have patients with his stupid ass ways, and ah would lihke ta go back to the instituit, back home." Rogue said sturnley.
"Sorry chere, but Remy can't do dat fo' y'." Remy said, grabbing the top of Rogues arm and turning her to face him, but he tugged to hard and Rogue smacked into his chest as he held her arm firmley so as she couldnt move.
"Get offa me swamp rat...ya hurtin' me." Rogue growled, low in her throat as she looked up into the unreal brown of his eyes. She hated that colour, she hated those fake eyes. But she hated the real ones even more when they look at her like that, when they beg to hurt her. She removed her gaze from his eyes and focussed on the floor. Gambits fingers losend around her arm and his other hand was soon brushing strands of hair behind her ears. She felt his lips meet her hairline and linger for a second, she froze.
Remy felt Rogue stiffen. Her arms ridged and unable to mover. He moved away from her and looked at her a second, she seemed to relax. "Sleep well cherie." He said quietley before turning to go back into the bar. Rogue watched him walk away, then hugged her arms looking around the cold darkness of the truckstop, she turned back to him as he dissapeard into the thick substance that was the light from the bar. She dashed back into the bar to meet him. She didn't want to be with him, but even more, she just didn't want to be alone.
Rogue enterd the bar and walked over to Remy, chewing on her lip and feeling extremeley pale withought her make-up. She took a stool next to Gambit and sat down gentley, seeing Gambit look to her, he smiled. "What are y' drinkin chere?" He ast quietley, leaning into her.
"Anythin' that will make me forget." Rogue said with glassy eyes.
"Forget what mon cherie?"
"What you did." She wisperd, looking down as she nervousley scrubbed at her arms through the soft cotten of the jacket. Remy placed his hand lightley on hers, ahe looked up at him, a tear parcially formed and lingering on the edge if her eyes. She met his gaze. 'Ah wan't those eyes back. The ones that ah used ta dream about. Ah wan't thos eyes ta keep mah nightmares away, not feed them. Ah wan't you back Remy.' She thought as she watched him look on her with concern.
"Der ain' anythin' fo' dat chere." Remy said, diverting his eyes. He was ashamed.
"Can ah just pretend that ah can forget bah downin' lotsa alcohol?" Rogue asked, sniffleing a litle and wipeing away a tear. Remy locked his fingers between hers and leaned in close.
"Y' can sure as hell try cherie." He wisperd.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"No. Don't take mah baby away please Jean don't." Rogue pleaded, her voice echoing throughout the space that shimmers, her mouth didn't even move. Jean terned around, holding the red skinned, tiny body in a yellow blanket.
"It's dead Rogue. Why would you want it if its dead." Jean said as the baby started to cry. Jean kept walking.
"No, Jean, he's alive, cayn't you hear him?" Rogue asked, then seeing herself turn in a mirror and look directley at her, she was decaying, flesh driping from the bone, old blood running from the eyes and nose, a corpses reflection.
"You named it. It is what you named it. It is death and will kill us all so it must stay dead." Jean snapped, her voice harsh and cold as all the images in the room swayes as if in water. The baby still cried, louder and louder, plaguing and killing everything untill the noise was a loud roar.
Rogue woke up to the sound of thinder rumbleing, and shakeing the foundations of the cheap motel room. The saound of rain pouring monotinousley on the thin roof of the motel. Rogue scrubbed at her eyes and turned in the unusually warm bed, to find herself laying with one arm draped across Remys bera ches, her head laying as if on a pillow, as his chest steadily rose and fell, to the faint sound of his hypnotic breathing. She was practically laying ontop of him to keep from falling off the single bed.
She sat up quickley, finding herself slipping and landing on the hollow sounding floor of the room with an 'ooff'. Gambit leaned ober and looked down on Rogue who was now laying flat on her back on the floor, looking up at him. He chuckle.
"An' hear was Remy 'tinkin dat y' din' like de mornins chere." Remy chuckled, then roled onto his back, snuggleing back down into the clean sheets. The onley thing that was clean in the whole room. Rogue stood up, finding herself cold in the dull light of the storm. It was 5:30am, and Rogue was standing in the same things that she had warn the night before, all besides her shoes. "Come get back in bed chere. We don' need t' be on de road for another 5 hours." Remy said, not opening his eyes.
Rogue hugged her arms and remained standing in the middle of the room. Suddenley feeling a headache from hell, makeing it'self know. She had a hangover, so withought thinking, she did as instruckted, as Remy shuffled aside and made room for her, he wraped his arm around her. She found herself snuggleing closer into the warmth of his body with every rumble of thunder. Hus warm skin felt so soft against her. Her eyes snapped open again.
"Wha is mah power off?" She ast, moveing away from the cajun, he looked down and her with a confused face, then rememberd that he had ast her to shut it off for his safety since they speant an hour arguing over who was going to get the bed. Rogue was blind drunk and would hardley cooperate, and Remy wasn't far behind her, but they settled and were asleep within' seconds of their heads touching the pillow. Rogue listend to the explaination, then cringed back into snuggle mode when another flash of lightning, and rumble of thunder shook and elluminated the motel room. Remy chuckled.
"Y' scared of de thinder chere?"
"No!" She snapped, then looked at him, he knew so whats the point. "A litle....It's juss so damn doisey that it scares the crap outa me." Remy smiled and wrapped his arms around her, snuggleing down into her warmth.
"Remy will protect y' chere. Don' worry." He wisperd as he fell back to sleep.
(A/N: Hey, thank you sooooo much for reviws on this story, it wasn't actually meant to be a propper story, it was just something i created to cure my block for my other fics.....but now i can't stop thinking about it. Sorry about spellings and typo's but Ive just been so buisey I don't have time to proof read enough.)

That night, Remy pulled into a small town, in which there was a motel, a bar, a few barns and a gas station. Remy pulled up the car and got the onley room that was left...one with a singe bed.

"Get offa me swamp rat...ya hurtin' me." Rogue growled, low in her throat as she looked up into the unreal brown of his eyes. She hated that colour, she hated those fake eyes. But she hated the real ones even more when they look at her like that, when they beg to hurt her. She removed her gaze from his eyes and focussed on the floor. Gambits fingers losend around her arm and his other hand was soon brushing strands of hair behind her ears. She felt his lips meet her hairline and linger for a second, she froze.
Remy felt Rogue stiffen. Her arms ridged and unable to mover. He moved away from her and looked at her a second, she seemed to relax. "Sleep well cherie." He said quietley before turning to go back into the bar. Rogue watched him walk away, then hugged her arms looking around the cold darkness of the truckstop, she turned back to him as he dissapeard into the thick substance that was the light from the bar. She dashed back into the bar to meet him. She didn't want to be with him, but even more, she just didn't want to be alone.
Rogue enterd the bar and walked over to Remy, chewing on her lip and feeling extremeley pale withought her make-up. She took a stool next to Gambit and sat down gentley, seeing Gambit look to her, he smiled. "What are y' drinkin chere?" He ast quietley, leaning into her.
"Anythin' that will make me forget." Rogue said with glassy eyes.
"Forget what mon cherie?"
"What you did." She wisperd, looking down as she nervousley scrubbed at her arms through the soft cotten of the jacket. Remy placed his hand lightley on hers, ahe looked up at him, a tear parcially formed and lingering on the edge if her eyes. She met his gaze. 'Ah wan't those eyes back. The ones that ah used ta dream about. Ah wan't thos eyes ta keep mah nightmares away, not feed them. Ah wan't you back Remy.' She thought as she watched him look on her with concern.
"Der ain' anythin' fo' dat chere." Remy said, diverting his eyes. He was ashamed.
"Can ah just pretend that ah can forget bah downin' lotsa alcohol?" Rogue asked, sniffleing a litle and wipeing away a tear. Remy locked his fingers between hers and leaned in close.
"Y' can sure as hell try cherie." He wisperd.

"No. Don't take mah baby away please Jean don't." Rogue pleaded, her voice echoing throughout the space that shimmers, her mouth didn't even move. Jean terned around, holding the red skinned, tiny body in a yellow blanket.
"It's dead Rogue. Why would you want it if its dead." Jean said as the baby started to cry. Jean kept walking.
"No, Jean, he's alive, cayn't you hear him?" Rogue asked, then seeing herself turn in a mirror and look directley at her, she was decaying, flesh driping from the bone, old blood running from the eyes and nose, a corpses reflection.
"You named it. It is what you named it. It is death and will kill us all so it must stay dead." Jean snapped, her voice harsh and cold as all the images in the room swayes as if in water. The baby still cried, louder and louder, plaguing and killing everything untill the noise was a loud roar.
Rogue woke up to the sound of thinder rumbleing, and shakeing the foundations of the cheap motel room. The saound of rain pouring monotinousley on the thin roof of the motel. Rogue scrubbed at her eyes and turned in the unusually warm bed, to find herself laying with one arm draped across Remys bera ches, her head laying as if on a pillow, as his chest steadily rose and fell, to the faint sound of his hypnotic breathing. She was practically laying ontop of him to keep from falling off the single bed.
She sat up quickley, finding herself slipping and landing on the hollow sounding floor of the room with an 'ooff'. Gambit leaned ober and looked down on Rogue who was now laying flat on her back on the floor, looking up at him. He chuckle.
"An' hear was Remy 'tinkin dat y' din' like de mornins chere." Remy chuckled, then roled onto his back, snuggleing back down into the clean sheets. The onley thing that was clean in the whole room. Rogue stood up, finding herself cold in the dull light of the storm. It was 5:30am, and Rogue was standing in the same things that she had warn the night before, all besides her shoes. "Come get back in bed chere. We don' need t' be on de road for another 5 hours." Remy said, not opening his eyes.
Rogue hugged her arms and remained standing in the middle of the room. Suddenley feeling a headache from hell, makeing it'self know. She had a hangover, so withought thinking, she did as instruckted, as Remy shuffled aside and made room for her, he wraped his arm around her. She found herself snuggleing closer into the warmth of his body with every rumble of thunder. Hus warm skin felt so soft against her. Her eyes snapped open again.
"Wha is mah power off?" She ast, moveing away from the cajun, he looked down and her with a confused face, then rememberd that he had ast her to shut it off for his safety since they speant an hour arguing over who was going to get the bed. Rogue was blind drunk and would hardley cooperate, and Remy wasn't far behind her, but they settled and were asleep within' seconds of their heads touching the pillow. Rogue listend to the explaination, then cringed back into snuggle mode when another flash of lightning, and rumble of thunder shook and elluminated the motel room. Remy chuckled.
"Y' scared of de thinder chere?"
"No!" She snapped, then looked at him, he knew so whats the point. "A litle....It's juss so damn doisey that it scares the crap outa me." Remy smiled and wrapped his arms around her, snuggleing down into her warmth.
"Remy will protect y' chere. Don' worry." He wisperd as he fell back to sleep.
