In My Life


New York at Charles Xavier's School for the gifted a young beautiful mutant woman looks up at the clear blue sky. She is silently rejoicing all that she is grateful for.
The lovely picture perfect day, which she knew she had only her wind riding goddess friend Storm to thank for. She was grateful that after all the lonely years of having to shield herself from people she cared for, people she loved. Having to deny herself the simple comfort of human touch, that countless others shamelessly took for granted everyday. That she was now able to finally over come her curse she had mastered her mutant ability

The fact that her and all her friends survived the fight. Against yet another horrifying treat against mutant hating homo sapians bent on genocide. Made her especially grateful. Of all of them she had to admit she was most grateful for was the hansom sweet talking red eyed Cajun charmer Remy Lebuau.

She and all the other X-Men had made it out Friends of Humanity when the building collapsed. It didn't take them long to realize that Gambit hadn't. It also didn't take long for terror to over come Rogue's breaking heart as she raced back to find him.

She was so sure she was going to lose him tears streamed down her face as she searched frantically. Soon the others where there to help all but Beast, Jean, and Storm who where preparing the medlab on the Blackbird. She was calling his name begging for him to answer when Psylock screamed out that she found him.

In an instant she was at his side carefully lifting him up in her arms rushing him to the Blackbird. As soon as she got him to the med lab Beast and Jean began to try and save him. She looked down blankly at her arms that were now stained with blood. Remy's blood she began to shake and once again the tears began to fall. Wolverine looked at her and wrapped her in his arms " It's going to be all right darlin " " You don't know that do ya Logan?" all he could do was hold her tighter.

When they got back to the mansion Beast informed her that things didn't looked good for they're fallen friend. He had suffered major trauma and lost lots of blood. Rogue of course refused to leave the medlab and no one even attempted to try after even Wolverine's attempts failed. She slept on a chair out by his bed holding his hand listening to him breath. 9 days later when Rogue was coming back from getting something to eat Beast came up to her.

"Rogue come it's Remy!" "Oh gawd Beast what!?" "What's wrong?" Come with me please. No ah can't bear it Hank tell me what's the matter!! Well Remy. Remy what Hank? Remy what!? She was so scared she thought the worst she was beginning to cry she wouldn't let Beast talk. Then she heard a voice behind her. He's awake darlin.


She felt her heart calm and then once again get completely excited as she ran to his room. Gambit barley had time to say her name before she took him in her arms and smothred kisses all over his face. Oh Remy don't ever do that to me again sugah please ya scared me ta death Cajun. Ya know Remy couln't leave ya Chere. She proceeded to plant more kisses up and down his face until he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her so passionately she fell into his arms. Finally minutes later he broke the kiss and uttered 3 words.
Marry me Chere.
