Disclaimer: The X-men belong to Marvel...Absolutely NO profit$ are being made from this fic.
Author's Note: I got inspired to write this fic. after watching the "Nightcrawler" episode of the original (and best) Xmen cartoon. This Remy/Rogue fic. (they rule) is like a continuation of that episode. Although this story is mainly about Rogue and Gambits relationship it does explore some religious themes. Please note that I am doing my best to interrupt each characters beliefs to make a good story, but it is still just my interpretation and may not be totally accurate (I'm trying my best!)
Ch. 3's title was based off New Found Glory's song "The Glory of Love" Great band,I quote some of the lyrics at the end, it really touches the theme of my fic.
I am continuing to work on my other series as well and I appreciate all the feedback. Make sure to look for an addition to my evolution fic soon and more (hint hint) Feedback is always important and appreciated...so please respond! Like always the more reviews I get the more I write! Read/Respond...Enjoy!

PS- I would like to issue a major apology for 2 mistakes I made in writing this fic.
1. Colossus's real name is Peter Rasptuin, I repeat NOT Peter Wisdom…(I don't know what I was thinking I know his name is not Peter Wisdom, I was just being a moron)
2. Jean Grey was not there when the "Nightcrawler" episode happened. (I forgot this little detail)
Thanks to the reviewers who caught these errors, I hope it does not ruin the quality of the fic J

Chapter 3
Gambit didn't dare turn around, for fear that his angle would disappear or was it because he didn't know how to respond to her. He still hadn't decided when he heard her voice again.
"Remy?"
Slowly he turned around and there she was standing behind a set of green bushes. Green like her eyes, which were glistening with the moonlit sky. She had changed into some cotton pants and a black long sleeve shirt. Plus she had on her leather X-man jacket and of course a pair of gloves. Her hair was back in a long pony tail, with loose strands framing her face. Her expression could not be identified as just one emotion. It contained a mixture of fear, sadness, surprise, and maybe concern?
The silence seemed to last an eternity, it was torture.
Finally Remy spoke, "Cain't sleep none chere?" The words came out colder than he meant for them to.
Rogue just shook her head, "What are ya doin here?"
"Aww chere I didn't know you cared." Gambit retorted sarcastically, he mentally smacked himself again for being so cold. He didn't want this unplanned meeting to turn out like their previous one tonight.
"Sorry." Rogue responded in a whisper. She turned her back to him, but for some reason she couldn't walk away. Their exchange of words earlier ran through her mind and glued her feet in place.
At that very moment Remy Lebeau moved towards her. Something inside him drove him to comfort her, it was his heart. He stopped directly behind her and whispered, "Rogue."
Rogue quickly spun around. She hadn't realized how close he was to her. They now looked right into each other's eyes, their faces mere inches apart.
"Remy what are ya doin here?" she repeated without moving.
Gambit gulped, "Remy came here ta pray, et toi?"
Rogue looked down at her feet, "This just seemed like the place to go…when your low on faith."
Remy agreed and lightened his serious tone, "Dat it is chere."
Rogue walked past him and sat down on the bench, she looked up at the sky as a lonely tear fell down her cheek. Chere is like a beautiful flower Gambit picked a lilly off a tree branch. He then sat down next to Rogue and handed her the flower. Rogue took in and held it gently. It reminded her of all her doubts…doubts that being with Gambit was unfair or that she made a mistake in breaking up with him. She ended her stream of uncertainties…
"Ah have to admit, ah was surprised to see ya here, ya know at a church."
The comment hurt Gambit, sure he didn't like to go to church, but he wasn't non-religious…he felt that he did not belong in the house of God-too many past sins. He covered his inner pain with a painful comment of his own, "Well who where ya expectin de tin man, sorry ta disappoint ya"
Unexpectedly Rogue didn't blow up at him, she seemed tired of fighting as was he.
"Remy" Rogue began. "It's true ah can touch Peter, he wasn't the reason fore me ta…end it and ah did spend time with him after our breakup, but it don't really help much that ah can touch him (she suddenly paused) because he's not the one ah love."
Gambit looked at her somewhat in disbelief. Love for her swept over him and heswept away her tear with his gloved finger, "Chere I came here tonight ta pray that you would be able to break down all these barriers…I want you to be happy, I love you."
Rogue cried, "Remy ah'm so sorry, but right now ah don't know if ah can…ah want you to be happy too and ah don't know if we will ever be able to-"
Gambit brought his gloved finger to her soft lips, "I don't expect your doubts ta disappear over night chere, but I don't want you ta forget how much I love you and dat ah'm willing ta risk being with you if your willing ta do the same for me."
Rogue searched and grabbed Remy's hand, Remy responded by pulling her so close to him that they were barely not touching. Rogue didn't seem to tense up at all. Good Remy thought. He kissed the top of her head and mentally thanked God for bringing them together.
"Remy."
"Oui?"
"Ah'll try my best fore us."
They both smiled and there was another period of silence.
"Rogue, Mon amour"
"Yeah? "
"I have faith in you."
Right now the couple was so happy together and they both prayed to God that they would remain so and that he would watch over them always.
~ FIN ~
Sometimes I might forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you I could never make it alone
Going forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
*New Found Glory-the Glory of Love*
(I'm a sucker for happy endings)
