Rogue yawned as she re-entered her room on Asteroid M. It had been her first day of helping out Magneto, and boy had she worked hard. She felt as if she had been run through a level 10 Danger Room session or something equally tiring. She didn't notice the visitor in her room since she hadn't turned on any lights but the lamp by the door yet.
"Long time no see ma chere."
Rogue jumped, and almost ended up on her rear when she remembered that for some reason Erik had asked her to put on a suppression collar before she went back to her room. "Remy? Is that ya?" Her voice was full of emotion...primarily surprise.
He stepped into the light. "Oui petite. Gambit here."
Rogue smiled and hugged him tightly. "That man finally came through with his promise."
"What you talkin' bout Roguey?" He pulls away after hugging her back and gives her a strange look.
"Erik said he'd let me see ya'll sometime soon th' first day we was here. He kept on puttin' it off." She smiles at him again. "But now Ah get t' see you. An' believe me, Ah'm glad t' see ya'll is alright."
He returns her smile as he slides his arms around her waist. "I glad t' see you too ma chere." He glances around the room as she reaches and flicks on the overhead lighting. "Nice room ya got...lot better dan what de rest o' us got." His face goes serious.
"Remy, Ah c'n try t' get Erik t' give ya'll a bettah room than ya got right now, but until Ah do a lil' more work for 'im, Ah'm 'fraid t' ask for too much." She gave a weak smile, hoping he wouldn't stay in this mood. To her relief, he smiled back. "Dat's fine chere. It jus' dat 'Ro be gettin kinda 'phobic, an' well...she be scarin' de hell outta de others sometimes." Rogue just nodded. "In that case, Ah'll handle it right now." She smiled brighter. "Ah don' want 'Ro losin' her mind or nothin'." She got a nod from Remy before she moved and knocked on the door. A guard opened it.
"Yes miss?"
"Ah need t' speak with Magneto."
"One minute." He spoke into a communicator on his wrist. "He'll be here shortly." He said to Rogue.
"Thank ya." she just smiled then turned back to Remy. "Now then...How long do ya have in here?"
"An hour." Rogue gave him a disappointed look. "I know chere. But dat's all Mags said we could have."
She sighed. "Figures..." Just then the door opened, and Magneto walked in.
"You wanted to speak with me Rogue?"
"Yeah, its about th' othahs livin' arrangements..."
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
She nods. "Remy says Storm's claustrophobia is actin' up an' that she's losin' it." She graces Erik with a sweet Southern smile. "Would ya mind givin' em a bigger space or somethin? Ah don' want any of em goin' nuts or anythin."
Now it was Erik's turn to nod. "Of course not. I'll make sure the living arrangements are taken care of. Anything else?"
"That's it."
He nodded again. "Alright." With that, he left.
Gambit grinned at Rogue. "Ya sure got de master o' magnetism under yo' thumb ma chere."
She laughed. "Ah don't understand why he does jus' bout anythin' Ah ask 'im too, but Ah ain't 'bout t' ruin mah chances o' gettin' us outta here."
"We jus' gonna talk de whole time I be here, or are we gonna take advantage of de fact we can touch?" He asked, giving his usual, cocky grin.
She returned the grin. "Ah dunno sugah...Ah mean, its not like we've known eachothah for forevah or somethin'." She runs her hands over his covered chest. "Although...Th' offah is temptin."
"So what's it gonna be chere? We got 'round half an hour."
Rogue hit the lights, grinning at him. "That should be just long enough for what Ah have planned..."
