Disclaimer: Same as the first chapter. I don't own the X-Men, Marvel does.
A/N: I made a mistake on the A/N of the first chapter. I forgot to add that Rogue has all of her powers in this story. Her strength, flight, invulnerability, and her absorption powers. Sorry I forgot to mention that. And thanks to klucky and evolutionary spider for pointing that out to me. And to PanDora, this Gambit is the X-Men Evolution Gambit. He is 18 in this story and Rogue is 17. And Kurt and Rogue know they are "brother" and "sister." Thanks to everyone else who reviewed. Now, on with chapter 2.

Chapter 2- Confusion
'Ah really hate these dumb sessions.' Rogue thought to herself as she walked down the hallway to the Danger Room.
'Ah'm late too. Betcha Logan is gonna yell at me.'
She rounded the corner and saw that Scott "Cyclops" Summers, Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde,
Kurt "Nightcrawler" Wagner, and Logan "Wolverine" were already waiting for her.
"You're late Stripes." growled Logan.
'Ah knew it." Rogue thought.
"Not mah fault Logan. If Kitty hadn't of been in the bathroom for over a half an hour, Ah woulda been on time." Rogue glared at Kitty.
"Like, don't blame me, Rogue. I got out of the bathroom 45 minutes ago. It never takes you more than 30 minutes to get ready. Like, what took you so long?" Kitty glared back.
"Alright, cut it out you two. Let's just get started with the session now." Logan said flatly.
Logan stalked off in the direction of the control booth.
"Alright, you heard him, let's go." Scott stated.
The doors to the Danger Room opened and the four mutants stepped inside.
Two hours later......
The doors to the Danger Room opened and four very tired mutants stepped out.
Scott and Kitty immediately headed off after throwing a few glares in Rogue's direction. Only Kurt and Rogue stayed behind.
"Vait, Rogue. I vant to talk to you."
"Ah really don't feel like talking right now Kurt."
"Vhat is wrong vith you lately? Is there somezing on your mind?"
"It's nothing ah can't handle Kurt."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, thank yah."
With that, Rogue walked away. She was just about to her room when a voice popped into her head.
Rogue can I please see you in my office immediately please.
'Great, just what ah need, the Professor asking meh what's wrong now.'
She headed back downstairs to the Professors office, knocked on the door and entered when she heard him say "Come in."
He was sitting behind his desk looking worried.
"Sit Rogue." he commanded.
She sat. "Yah wanted to see me Professor?"
"Yes. Logan told me you had another unfortunate day in the Danger Room. Is there something you would like to talk about Rogue?"
'Ah can't tell him about that guy. He won't understand.'
"No, Professor. Ah'm sorry about the session. Ah don't understand why ah can't concentrate on them anymore."
"It seems you have not been concentrating much since the battle with Magneto. Did something happen to you that you have not told us?"
"No, ah guess it just kinda shook meh up a little. Ah guess ah just need to put it all out of mah head and start concentrating on the sessions again."
"Well, if you do want to talk, you know I am always here."
"Ah know Professor, and thank yah. It means a lot to meh."
"You may go now."
Rogue got up and walked out, heading back to her room.
'Ah hope Kitty isn't in the room.'
Thankfully she was not. Rogue shut the door and flopped face up onto her bed. Within minutes she was asleep.
Ah quickly rounded the corner and came face to face with a guy. A very hot guy dressed all in black and carrying a bo staff. His eyes were red on black, demon eyes.
'Oh mah.'
The corners of his mouth slowly lifted up into a smirk, and then changed to a small smile.
Ah knew mah mouth was hanging open, but ah couldn't shut it. Ah couldn't drag mah eyes away from his. It was like they were hypnotizing meh.
The smile was still on his face when he brought out a playing card, the King of Hearts.
Our eyes were still locked together as he slowly handed it to meh. Eyes wide, ah reached out and grasped it. Instead of letting go, he slowly drew the card and our hands down, leaning in closer to meh. He got so close ah could feel his breath on my face. Mah eyes blinked slowly.
It seemed like eternity before he let go of the card, backed away. He did this little bow thing, and then was gone.
Ah brought the card slowly up, staring at it. It took meh a few seconds before ah realized it was gonna blow up. Ah tossed it away just as it exploded.
Rogue's eyes flickered open and she let out a frustrated sigh.
"Why is this happening to meh? Who is this guy? And why can't ah get him outta mah head.?"
She covered her face with her heads and let out a low groan.
"Ah can't take this anymore. Ah gotta get outta this house."
A quick glance at the clock said it was 1:30 PM.
She walked to her closet and rifled through it, pulling out a pair of black jeans, a green tank top, and a green zipper-up jacket. She ran to the bathroom to quickly shower and dress.
Forty minutes later she was ready to go and heading downstairs. She almost ran out the front door so as not to run into any of the others.
When she made it halfway down the long, winding driveway she let out a sigh.
'At least ah didn't run into anyone. Now ah can finally get some air and hopefully get rid of this guy. He has been haunting mah every waking moment, and ah don't even know his name. What is wrong with meh?"
It took about 20 minutes for Rogue to reach the center of town, where the Bayville Park was situated. She entered the park, which was pretty much deserted, and walked along the jogging path.
She had been walking for about 10 minutes when she heard footsteps behind her. She stopped. So did the footsteps. Rogue glanced behind her but there was no one in sight.
'That's odd. Thought ah heard something. Musta been the wind.'
She continued on, but heard the footsteps again. Again, she stopped, as did the footsteps.
'This cannot be mah imagination.'
Again, Rogue turned around. And again, she saw no one.
She smiled, took one step, and stopped. The person behind her took one step and then stopped.
The next time, she took two steps, and then stopped. The person behind her did the same.
She quickly turned around and still saw no one.
'Ok, that's it. Either this person is invisible, or they're really good.'
Rogue turned back around, took another quick step, and snapped back around to catch the person. This time she heard no footsteps and still saw no one.
She turned back around to continue along the path but stopped when she saw who was in front of her. Rogue gasped and her eyes widened.
'He was following meh the whole time. Ah'm gonna kill him.'
She took a step closer to the person, her eyes narrowing.
"You." she spit out, "You tried to blow me up."
Now, I will give you one guess as to who you think the mysterious person is!! This chapter came out a lot longer than the first. I typed up the first chapter really late at night. So I didn't edit much. This chapter I spent more time on. I think it came out pretty good, what do you guys think?? So Rogue finally comes face to face with the man of her dreams, literally. What will she say to him? If you guys have anything you want me to have happen, let me know. Write it in a review. Next chapter is gonna be a big chapter. I will try to have it up in the next couple of days. For know, review, review! Let me know what you all think.
I hope you guys are looking forward to X-Men: Evo tomorrow. I know I am. I just have two things Im waiting for in that show. 1) When are they gonna show Remy again? And 2) When are they gonna get Rogue and Remy together?? I can't wait anymore, lol. I heard Rogue is supposed to have an episode dedicated entirely to her. Maybe Remy will be in that episode.
