Remy was nervous, he had been gone for a month and a half. The job had taken longer than originally anticipated. He wondered what Rogue had decided in that time. It had been hell going to sleep and waking up every morning without her by his side. He watched as the taxi pulled up to the impressive gates of the mansion. He took a deep breath when it pulled to a stop; Remy got out and paid the man before walking inside.

He desperately wanted to go find Rogue but he knew he needed to talk to Xavier first. He had managed to break in to several of the bases and copy all the information Stryker had. He had to admit that the man was smart to spread everything out like that, unfortunately for him, Gambit was the best.

Remy walked down the halls ignoring the giggling girls that would blush to the roots of their hair if he even glanced at them. The only one he wanted to hear giggle was Rogue. He finally reached the door and gave it a short knock before walking in. Xavier sat at his desk smiling as Remy walked in and laid several thick folders down on the desk.

"This was all Ah could find." He said as he pulled out a few flash drives from his pocket and placed them on top of the files. "They don' know that Ah was ever there so they shouldn't have ta change locations, but in case they do Ah was able ta find a few more unused bases."

Xavier sighed with a frown. "Thank you for your service." He said and pushed a check for thirty grand to him.

Remy nodded and took the check before turning to leave. He had just reached the door when Xavier spoke up again. "Mr. Lebeau, I would like to remind you that I do not condone any fighting amongst the people who live in this house. So if you should find the urge to hit someone, don't."He said and then with a twinkle in his eye he added. "Good day."

Remy gave him a confused look before leaving and closing the door behind him. What the hell was he talking about? Remy had always wondered if the old man had been maybe a little loony and he was starting to confirm it. He moved his thoughts to Rogue and wondered where she would be, he should probably start with their room seeing a how he needed to drop his bag off there anyway.

He stopped in front of their door and was about to turn the knob when it was suddenly flung open and a blonde man was thrown out. He stumbled back into the wall across the hall with a startled smile on his face.

"Leave me the hell alone Pulse. If you don't stop Ah'm goin' ta Xavier an' have him throw ya outta here fo' sexual harassment!" Rogue screeched before she slammed the door closed. She had apparently not seen Remy.

Remy looked to the man who smiled back up at him. "Don't worry I think I'm starting to wear her down." He said.

Remy didn't return the smile, instead he grabbed the man, Pulse, by the collar and pinned him to the wall. He let slip the itch in his fingers until the man's shirt was a bright pink color and had started to hum. "Here's a piece o' advice that Ah suggest ya take." He growled, satisfied that the man's eyes had grown large. He knew the charge was starting to burn from the smell of cooking flesh. "Stay away from mon wife. If Ah hear her say that this is happened again, Ah won't hesitate ta kill ya."

He drew back the charge and threw the man to the floor before ripping open the door and slamming it shut behind him. He looked to see Rogue whirl around with a look of fury on her face. "That's it!" She screamed but when she saw it was him her look of hatred disappeared to shock. "Oh thank God it's ya." She said putting a hand to her chest, looking immensely relived.

"How long has that been goin' on?" He asked jerking his head to the door.

She gave him an odd look before answering. "Since the day ya left. Professor keeps sayin' that he just needs a friend an' he keeps messin' with Logan an' Wade's memory when they go ta talk ta him."

"Ah jut gave him a piece o' advice, fo' his sake he better hopes he takes it." Remy said as he threw his bag down at the end of the bed.

"Ah swear ta God Ah can't even stand livin' in this house anymore with him here. Half the week Ah'm sleepin' on Wade's couch." She said as she flopped down on the bed.

Remy looked down at her and wondered if now would be a good time to ask her about a question he had been bouncing around in his head for about a week now. "How attached are ya ta the X-Men?" He asked still standing next to the edge of the bed.

She rolled her head over to look at him. "They're my family, why?"

So she probably wouldn't want to live in New Orleans and only visit here on holidays. "Jean an' Scott got a house a couple blocks away from here, right?" He asked her.

"Yeah." She said, she obviously couldn't see where he was going with this.

"Why don' we get a house or apartment 'round here then?" He said. He'd like to be alone with her without having a mess of kids running up and down the halls.

Now she sat back up on the bed and looked up at him. "Remy, houses and apartment cost money-" She said but stopped when he interrupted her.

"Chere, Ah got millions hid away." He said with a smile. He doubted Rogue was the type of girl to get excited by truck loads of money but he wanted her to know he would always be able to provide for her.

She narrowed her eyes. "An' did ya steal the money?" She asked.

Remy gave her a charming grin. "Non, earned it honest." He said holding one hand over his heart and the other up like he was in court.

She rolled her eyes. "Ah dunno, Ah like it here. Plus Jean an' Scott don't exactly spend every night at their house. They have a room here too." She said.

Remy frowned he really didn't like the idea of the Pulse guy around his wife all the time. "So who exactly is that guy?" Remy asked. The man hadn't displayed any sort of power to escape Gambit's hold or even said anything once he had been slammed into the wall.

Remy didn't have to elaborate on who 'that guy' was for her to know who he was talking about. "His name is Pulse. His power is ta turn off the energy around him, including mutant powers. His favorite pass time is ta turn my power off and try ta stick his tongue down my throat." She said and then snorted in disgust. Remy froze, the conversation on their wedding night coming back to him.

"So what would ya do if dere was a mutant out dere dat could turn off ya powers?"

"What do ya mean what would Ah do?" She asked confused at the question.

"Say dere was a mutant an' one day he just went up ta ya and planted a kiss on ya, what would ya do?" He asked again.

She paused for a moment in thought. "Probably break his nose,"

"An' what's he say when ya tell him ya married?" He asked as he unzipped his bag. He needed to multitask to prevent himself from becoming a murderer.

She gave a disgusted grunt. "He says that you're out there boinking blondes and that I should do the same. He thinks he's the only one who can touch me without dying."

Despite her words, or more Pulse's words he couldn't help but smile. "Boinking?" He asked. "Was that the term he used?"

She looked back over to him. "Oh shut up." She said but without her usual venom. Was she coming around? "It's been hell these last few weeks."

Remy frowned, the more upset he found out Rogue was the more red he saw when it came to that piece of shit. He wondered if maybe the reason she didn't want to move out of the mansion was because she was afraid of being alone with him now that they knew they could touch. So far she had acted like nothing had happened the last time they had seen each other. Did she want to pretend like they hadn't slept together either? Well he would be damned if he would let her pretend, he would have her begging for him by the end of the week. This was war!
