Rogue…
Rogue..
Rogue.
Where am I?
Where are you?
Heloo! What's this black place? It's so dark, I can even hear my thoughts. There's..nothing. I'm in the middle of nothing! But I still am…Hey, who's there?
ho's there?
's there?
there?
'ere?
're..
What the fuck is going on?
You are in my world . Well, your mind, but playing with MY rules.
And who are you?
I'm here to make your nightmares come true.
Really?
For sure. And just so you know, I'm going to join the X-men. And I like your boyfriend. He dreams about me right now.. He won't tell you what he dreamed, I'm sure. We've met in real world too. I'm a good girl by the way. I just wanted to warn you about me. The voice in Rogue's dream said with no pause.
Did I miss something? For example how did you get in my head?
Easy. I' m a telepath.
Lovely. And? What do you want?
To join the X-men. Could you tell Xavier he'll have a visitor today?
No. Now let me sleep
As you wish.
Rogue woke up in her bead. She went straight to Remy's room than they went to Xavier's. He looked in her head.
"Yes, this is Emma Frost. She is very…playfully. "
"I would say she's a bitch. Gambit what did you dream last night?"
"Err…I don't remember that well…"
"Liar. You dreamed a blonde, tall, beautiful woman. Did she seduce you?"
"How did you…Yes, there was a blonde femme. But she didn't try to seduce me. She just talked a lot of crap."
"Great. So who is she?"
"A very powerful telepath. She wants to join the X-men. It's a good thing for us, but you'll have to be very patient with her. Please, I beg you, try to accept her and let her be part of this family. It won't take long."
"You've always been a terrible liar, Xavier" a woman's voice said.
The face in Rogue's dream and apparently the women in Remy's was there. She was tall, with long blonde straight hair and ice cold blue eyes. She was wearing a very short white skirt, a white top, a white jersey covered with something that looked like polar bear fur and she had a pair of white furry boots until her knees. She was clearly pretty, even beautiful. Remy stared at her in shock. Rogue felt like boiling.
"Welcome, Emma."
"Thank you, Xavier."
"I must say, I didn't like the way you announced your coming"
"Whatever. Could you show me my room? How about…you, beautiful?" she said pointing Remy.
"Your could stay in one of our guests room for now. What about room 346?" Xavier added.
"I'll show you" Rogue said coldly.
"No, I want him to show me."
"Fine, but let me join you." Rogue said smiling as cold as she could.
"Whatever."
Remy put his left arm around Rogue's waist. She kissed him and went with him to show Emma around.
Rogue woke in the middle of the night. Because of that white bitch! Actually, she was thirsty, but still. She went down the stairs, in the kitchen, but there was someone there. A man with russet hair.
"Remy?"
He turned around. When she saw his face…there was nothing different, except the expression in his eyes. A sad one, but almost indifferent. She couldn't say for sure. She saw the bottle in his hand and realized.
"Remy, are you drunk?"
"Drenk? Remy ain't drenk. Je suis tres bien…tres bien…magnifique…common tu t'apelles?"
"What on earth are you saying?"
"What's your name li'l gi'l?"
"You don't know my name?"
"Should I?"
Rogue blinked.
"Go to sleep Gambit."
"Non."
"Go."
"Je suis…je n'est pas…I'm not tired…but if you'd join me to bed, I'd go happily" he said with an empty smile.
Rogue was staring at him. He offered to sleep with her, without knowing who she was. She would have to any other woman. When he was drunk…but why was he drunk? why would he be unhappy? 'Couse Remy liked drinking, but never more than a glass. There was something that made him so upset he started to drink from that bottle.
"Okay." She said without smiling. He grinned, still with no expression in his eyes. Rogue got him to her room and put him in her bed. He was so tired and so drunk he fell asleep at the moment his head touched the pillow. She slept in Kitty's bed, who was who knows where. But her bed was empty.
"Mmm..where am I?"
"Morning Gambit." Rogue said looking coldly at him
"Chere? What am I doing in your bed? Not that I don't like it." He added smiling. " But what happened? I don't remember getting in your room…actually I don't remember much from last night…and I have such a headache.."
"That's because you were drunk." She said without looking in his eyes.
He could almost feel the cold atmosphere. What did he do? Did he say something wrong when he was wasted? Or only the fact that he was drunk got her upset? He had to fix that, he couldn't take the way she was looking .
"Chere I'm so sorry, but I was a bit upset, and I just drunk some glasses and then I don't know how I ended like that…"
"Neither do I. Why were you upset?"
Silence.
"Remy, why were you upset?"
"I…"
She stared at him. He was hiding something. What was he hiding?
"Remy."
He looked down. There was something in his eyes…guilt?
"Chere, you'll have to forgive me I didn't tell you this before. But I was ashamed. Will you listen to me now? And forgive me for not speaking sooner?"
"Yes. What is it?" she said concerned of the look in his eyes.
"Before I joined Magneto I worked for some guy. I didn't know his name or where to find him or anything. I only knew him as Sinister."
He paused.
" I did a lot of dirty jobs and got a lot of money. Jobs like stealing some very rare metals or stones or even kidnapping people sometimes. The thing was I only had to kidnap mutants that harmed normal people so I was okay with it. Or at least that's what I've been tolled. Mutants that used their powers to hurt. I didn't know why was Sinister doing this. All I knew was that he was paying good. One day I was sent to kidnap one of these mutants. I didn't know who he was, all I knew was that he was going to be in the basement of a 'haunted' house. I got the address and went there. Inside was a little boy with three red eyes. I took him to the place I was supposed to meet the other employee of Sinister. The guy shown up like usual but this time he tolled me to go with him. I followed him and the boy somewhere, I couldn't tell where. I found myself in some weird laboratory. There I met Sinister, on his name Essex. "
Rogue blinked. The name sounded familiar.
"He had red eyes and he was scary as hell. Sharp teeth, blue skin, some kind of metallic extendable hands from his back… He was doing experiments on mutants. When I found out I tried to get out of there, but threatened me. I continued to bring him mutants, but I realized there weren't only mutants that used their powers to harm people. There were only powerful mutants. Like the boy I kidnapped. His name was Joey. He could teleport people. One day, after months of planning I went to his cell and got him into the next mutant's cell. Joey made a portal and the mutant from cell number 123 teleported to his aunt's house. He just had to think where he wanted to be and got there. Then the portal closed. We did the same thing to the next ten cells. Then Sinister shown up and I got through the portal. I don't know what happened to Joey. But Essex was doing some horrible things, and I was helping him. "
Gambit took a deep breath and looked at Rogue.
" Emma was one of the mutants I helped to escape. She was one of the… dangerous mutants Sinister 'owned'. When she visited me in my dream she said Essex started working again. There were some mutants she knew that disappeared in the same way I used to kidnap them. No sings of fight, no clues, nothing. After five years I haven't heard from him…and that's a very bad sign."
Rouge didn't say anything while he tolled his story. She was shocked. She knew he wasn't a saint and he did some pretty bad things, this was more then she imagined. But when he found out how bad things were, he tried to stop. More than that, he didn't just try to escape, he helped other prisoners.
"I'm sorry if I let you down chere. I didn't know what he was doin'. I tried.."
"I know. It's okay" she said and hugged him. He remained like a stone when she hugged him. Then he hugged her back. She forgave him.
"You did some pretty lame things." Rogue said pretending to be thinking. " But it seems to me like you're sorry. And you tried to take it back. But you couldn't."
He stared at her.
"Thank you chere. I'm glad you understand Remy."
"I'm not, since that means I did some pretty lame things too" she said with a sad smile.
He smiled back. She was amazing.
They were lying in Rogue's bed, even though it was late in the morning.
"Gambit?"
"Oui, mon coeur?"
"Never do that again."
"Do what?"
"Get wasted."
"Okay. I'm sorry."
"I know."
They didn't say anything for a while. Remy was playing with her hair while she was drawing the lines of his body.
"Rogue."
"Hmm?"
"Stop doing that"
"Why?"
"It turns me on"
She laughed.
"Then I won't stop." She grinned.
Students please come into my office. There is someone I'd like to introduce you to.
"And this was it" Rogue said rolling her eyes while Remy was giggling.
In professor's office was Emma. She smiled to Remy. He just waved.
"Students, this is Emma Frost. She is a telepath and she wants to join the X-men. She lives in room number 346."
"Next to ours" Kitty said.
Rogue stared at her. Where has she been last night?
Emma gave her a cold smile.
"Lovely. So now that you know who I am, how about you all tell me who you are" she grinned.
"I'm Scott Summers. This is Jean, my girlfriend. That is Kitty, and her roommate Rogue. That is Remy, her boyfriend. This is Kurt, Rogue's step brother. He is Evan. Boom Boom. Roberto. Amara…"
Scott continued like this while several people waved Emma. When Scott arrived at Bobby he was all red and barely waved a hand at Emma. Rogue rolled her eyes.
What do they all se in her? She's just a white bitch.
I'm a what?
WHO THE FUCK GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO GET IN MY HEAD?
Oh, just my powers baby. By the way, your boyfriend is very horny. Kind of like a lion. He seems to want to take your clothes off you.
Okay, what the fuck bitch?
Call me that way again and you'll have to deal with my powers at maximum capacity.
Threaten me again and I'll tell the professor.
Tell the professor what, Rogue?
You too prof? what are yeah all doin' in my head? Like I don't have enough company around here…
Oh, sorry professor, did you here me?
I did, Emma. I think you should leave Rogue alone now. And I don't want to hear any other things like the one before, am I understood?
Yes professor.
"What the fuck?"
"Chere, you okay?" Remy whispered.
"Yes, I just had an interesting conversation with Emma."
"You did?"
"Oh yeah." Rogue grinned. "Let's go eat something, shall we?"
"Sure."
Rogue felt Remy's hand on her ass. She smiled.
