Early the next day, somewhere on a deserted highway
(Around sunrise)
Wanda slowly cracked her eyes open to the peeking sun, which was flooding her vision. She shifted in her seat and suddenly realized she was in a moving car...
"What the hell..." she mumbled groggily...
"Mornin' sleepy head...have a pleasant rest?" Said an all to perky John who casually sipped on his large, extra sweet coffee.
"Where the hell are we? I though we were going to get something to eat..." Wanda rubbed her head, feeling a headache was about to emerge.
"Well...I thought I'd take you to get some Mexican...but there aren't any good places to go to in Bayville, so I thought I'd bring you to the only other place I know where to get some good chimicangas..."
A WELCOME TO DETROIT scene past their car...
"WE'RE IN BLOODY MICHIGAN?" Screamed Wanda...her left eye began to twitch and her face turning bright red...
"Are you mad luv?" a nervous John turned to a very distraught witch who looked like she was about to hex him...
"Mad...mad isn't the word...Ecstatic is more like it...Quick...you have to go to this address..." Wanda pulled a folded piece of paper from her black leather trench's left pocket and handed it to John...
He unfolded it and gave an oh so wicked grin at the writing staring back at him and pushed down on the accelerator...
Back at the institute
The covers of the four-poster bed ruffled as Rogue rolled around, eventually tossing the covers to the ground. She sat straight up in the bed, rubbing her eyes against the sleep and morning light.
"Ah don even have an alarm clock and Ah still cant sleep past 6..." She pushed her legs over the side of the bed and got up, stretching out her tense limbs.
She decided against going back to hers, Kitty's and Wanda's room just yet, and went straight to the kitchen for something to eat.
"Nobody seems ta be up yet...Ah guess ill grab a showah instead and..." As Rogue walked into the kitchen she stopped dead in her tracks in front of the door...the sight before her shock her into immobility.
At the end of a table a young, handsome looking man had his head down on the table asleep. There was an empty cup of coffee in front of him, and a slim, sliver ring clenched between his right hand figures.
Rogue walked silently over to him, not wanting to him wake him just yet...She softly brushed her hand against the side of his face, watching him slowly breath.
With a shift slap in the back of said head she woke the sleeping Cajun...
"What the hell are you doing here? Ah thought you were leavin'!" She in a quiet way, so not to wake the rest of the mansion, screamed.
"And a good morning to you, chere." He lifted his head, rubbing the spot where she had just slapped.
"Where are you here?"
"Ta see you..."
"Who let you in...?"
"De blue fuzzy homme..."
"And why would Kurt do that..."
"I said I was in love..."
Rogue fell silent...
"Your lucky Logan didn't find you first..."
"Remy was thinking of joining your team..."
Back in Detroit...
The two mutants sat on top of the cars hood in front of a closed up old building...
"I can't believe I am here..." Wanda looked up at the old club in udder amazement.
"I didn't know you knew what the "Golden Dollar" was..." John looked over at the near bubbly Goth...
"Its like only the birth place of the greatest band ever!"
"Oh...I get it..." He giggled in amusement, "You, the second biggest Goth in Bayville next to Rogue, is a closet White Stripes fan!"
Wanda punched him in the shoulder...
"I'll have you know Sheila that am a bigger fan then you...I used to go to the shows they played in here..." John was trying to impress Wanda, but only succeeding in drawing himself into an inescapable competition...
"All the girls walk around in tears but that's not for you..." Wanda raised an eyebrow, initiating the challenge...
"So...it's a game of knowledge is it...Apple Blossom..." John shut his eyes in deep concentration trying to come up with a good one to stump her... "Gasolines not measured in metric..."
"Ha!..easy...The big three killed my baby...please!... Your going to do better then that to stump me...ah...lets see..." The growling of her stomach then interrupted Wanda...
"I guess you never did get 'on...lets go find some breakfast..." John offered his hand to Wanda to help her off the hood of the car, she ignored it and jumped off on her own, leaving a very lonely pyro sitting on the car...
"Well are you coming?" Wanda called from her seat...
John jumped down... "This Sheila is goin' be fun..." he whispered to himself, while jumping into the drivers seat and driving off...
Institute...
"So, ya think the professor is jus' gonna let you in...like that...after all your work with Magneto and the Brotherhood?...And what about Magneto? How ya goin' get away from him..." Rogue had been rambling on for minutes, all the while Remy just stared back at her in amazement...
'At least she hasn' kicked this Cajun back de curb' he thought. The night before Remy had realized what an idiot he had been, just letting her slip away so easily. When Piotr had shown him the silver ring, Rogue's ring, he remembered the true love he felt when he had first given it to her. He wasn't going to quite until he had her back, he wasn't letting go for a second time. He had already lost so many other people he had loved. That's what made him run back to the institute, made him realize he couldn't let her go, no matter what other responsibilities he was letting go of...
Remy looked up at Rogue who seemed to still be carrying on...with his gloved hand he caressed her face. Her mood seemed to melt as she collapsed into his lap...
"Ah am sorry about what Ah said last night...Ah just...Ah just couldn't bare to lose you again..." Rogue dug her face into Remy's shoulder.
"It's okay chere...We jus need ta start over. There are thangs we need to talk about...But not yet." He wrapped his arms around her as they sat together in silence...
"Like this is so cute...Rogue is this the guy from the picture?" Kitty and Kurt had just walked in to get breakfast when the interrupted the reunited couple, both of whom seemed now to be giving the infamous "Wanda Death Stare" at the intruding duo...
"I think ve should get breakvast out this morning..." Kurt grabbed Kitty's hand as they prepared to walk back out...
SKINT!
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOIN'HERE!" Growled Logan, his massive adamantium claws extended and pointed at Remy's throat...
Rogue jumped out of Remy's lap, hiding him behind her...
"Logan...um...there isn't anyone here...." Rogue motioned Kitty and Kurt to come and get Remy out of there...
"Dis Cajun' can stand up fo himself..." Remy got up and pushed Rogue aside, approaching Logan with a charged card...
"Like...I think we all need to calm down here..." Kitty stepped in between them...
"Stay out of this half-pint! I could smell Gumbo's blood all the way upstairs!" Logan was getting angrier by the minute... "NOBODY...AND I MEAN NOBODY TRIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE OF MY GIRLS!" Logan let his claws rip through the kitchen counter...Remy stepped back, but held firm to the ground...
"I don't believe dat you dis femme's pere...So why don't you let this girl pick fo her..."
"Ah can talk for mahself Remy.... And Ah don't believe you're my father Logan! So why don't ya get out before..." Rogue was starting to scare everyone else in the room, including Logan...
"I think its time we leave..." Kurt grabbed onto Remy's shoulder and ported them outside, while Kitty grabbed Rogue and ran her into the next room through the wall...Leaving Logan standing there with his claws out.
Just before Logan could leave the room Professor Xavier wheeled into the room. He took one look at the angry canadain and another at the broken countertop...
"Should I assume that I'll be sending another repair bill to you this month Logan?" Ask the Professor with a crooked eyebrow...
Logan retracted his claws...and simply mumbled something about it clashing with the tile as he bounding through the door, and headed for the Danger Room.
