Hey people, sorry that it took me so long, I been really busy and have had the
worst case of writer 's block. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
Notes and Comments:
All right, Gambit has finally joined Evo. Is anyone else jumping for joy? I say
that if they don't have Rogue and Remy at least flirting by the end of the
third season we form a posse and let those people at the show know what's
what.
Anyone with me?
I had someone inform me that comic Jean's code name was Phoenix. I am aware
that that is her code name, but they still just call her Jean most of the time.
Besides, I don't want to get into the whole Phoenix entity thing.
And by the way, if you are looking for a great Rogue and Remy story set in
evolution, Disturbed Courtney and Lilith K. have a great story set in
Courtney's version of Evo. I highly recommend both author's separate works
and their joint project. To get to their co-authored story, I have them under favorite authors.
Chapter Four: Mansion
Comic Scott's POV:
Logan always won. It didn't matter which Logan it was, one of them always won.
Right now it was the other teams' Logan (evo). It was getting late and Scott
was starting to think about turning in for the night before he went broke. He
knew that Wolverine wouldn't go to bed until Rogue and Gambit came back. He
never did. Most of the time if they were home by midnight and he would just slip
back into his room and they were never the wiser. But on nights like this, when
it was one-thirty in the morning, they were going to get it. I'd better cancel
training tomorrow. Remy and Rogue aren't going to be up to it once Wolverine
gets his claws in them, and everyone else is too excited to concentrate. He cast a sideways glance at his professor's face. It showed little emotion other than concentration.
They were all about to ante up when Wolverine's head snapped up and he tilted his head as if listening to something. Then Scott could hear a car pulling up into the garage. It sounded like the Gambit and Rogue were back. Wolverine stood up and put his cards face down on the table as Rogue and Remy came in. They were holding hands and laughing quietly. Scott did a double take at the necklace Rogue was wearing. Two emeralds and a diamond on a pretty chain, and the gems weren't tiny either.
The couple stopped when they saw the look on Wolverine's face. Remy instinctively
stepped slightly in front of Rogue. She rolled her eyes slightly at his protective gesture. She stepped past Remy and gave Wolverine a hug, winking at the professor over his shoulder.
"Did ya'll have fun?" she asked playfully, giving them all her trademark smile.
"I did." Said both Logan's. They shot each other an affronted glance when everyone else smirked at their identical inflections.
"Darlin' do you have any idea what time it is?" Wolverine asked Rogue, trying to change the topic.
"Mon ami, it's just a little past twelve." Remy said. Rogue shot him a look that said quite clearly, let me take care of this.
Wolverine grunted. "Wrong Cajun. It's one thirty-five."
Remy and Rogue just looked at him sheepishly. "We were, um, that is ta say, we.." Rogue trailed off. Remy grabbed her hand, pulling her back to his chest and away from Logan's glare.
"We lost track of time, mon ami. Sorry if you were worried."
Wolverine jerked slightly as the professor closed his eyes. "Alright, Professor, I'll leave'em alone."
Rogue winked at the professor as she and Remy walked up the stairs. He smiled at
her. The Beasts waved goodnight to them. Wolverine waited a minute and then
began moving towards the stairs.
"Wolverine, where are you going?" Bobby mock whispered to him.
" I'll be right back, I want to make sure the Cajun is behav'n himself."
When Wolverine was out of earshot, his earshot, Scott saw the guest Xavier look at the
professor. "Where did you find this Gambit character?"
"When we find a way to get you back to your world, you should be able to find
him in New Orleans. Why?"
"My Rogue is very withdrawn compared to yours. I have been trying to think of
a way to bring her out of her shell." Xavier said.
"She doesn't socialize with the others?"
"Oh, she does, but I get the impression," he tapped his head to show how he
got the impression, "that she used to be different. I feel that if she could
just become comfortable with herself and her mutation she would be much
happier."
"Remy is a major factor in Rogue happiness, however, my Rogue is still not
completely comfortable with herself either. She stills goes through stages of
depression, but Wolverine, Remy, Storm, or Nightcrawler are always able to help
her out. But Remy might definitely help your Rogue."
"Thank you. This information will be very helpful."
"I should warn you of a couple of things first though. One, Remy is an ex-
thief. He will probably still be a thief in your dimension. Second, when Remy
first met Rogue, they didn't get along. He is a very large flirt and couldn't stop flirting
with her. Rogue didn't like that and often they got into fights. So your Rogue and Remy may very well do the same thing."
"Thank you all the same though."
