Disclaimer: Regrettably I have never, nor will ever own any part of the fortune that is x-men. However, rest assured that if I could own a part of it, it would be Hugh Jackmon's roll as Wolverine ;). Or a handsome Cajun resembling Gambit!! But that's just me. And if you read anything in this story that you felt you have read before, its probably because you have. At certain times in this fic I'm going to be using similar story plots I have read about in other fan fictions. Just so you know, Now On With the Fiction!!

Back to the Story!!!!

Pietro stretched and opened his eyes to the morning sunlight. He was laying in bed with the most beautiful, not to mention one of the most deadly, woman he had ever known. And he loved her. Even more amazing was the fact that she loved him in return. Before Pietro had time to reflect on their wonderful night together someone banged on the door. Rogue pulled the cover over her face with a groan, "Piety make the bad man go away." Pietro chuckled. From the other side of the door Scott's voice could be heard, "Pietro, wake up we need your help Rogue's missing." Pietro sighed and rolled back over to Rogue, "Ok sweetie, you stay here under the covers, I'm going to go see what Mr. Myopia wants. But don't you dare go anywhere we've got some more ravishing to do." With a wink Pietro jumped out of bed to put his jeans and a t-shirt on. With one last quick kiss on Rogue's forehead he slipped out the door.

Out in the hallway....

Before stepping out the door Pietro put an irritated look on his face. "What-do-you-mean-Rogue's-missing?" Pietro asked Scott in his super speedy voice. Scott grabbed his arm and started toward the stairs. "Well, last night Kitty and Lance went out you know. Well when they got home they kind of fell asleep in watching tv. So Kitty didn't go back to her room until a few minutes ago. That's when she noticed that Rogue's bed hasn't been slept in. Her and Lance are out looking through the rest of the mansion for her, but I figured you want to know so you could help." "Great," Pietro thought, 'How am I going to ditch him to get back to Rogue?' Then an idea hit him. "I-can't-believe-this-you-Cykidelic-freak- show. How-can-Rogue-be-missing? You-go-help-Kitty-and-Lance. I'm-going- to-go-grab-my-cell-incase-Rogue-calls. Then-I'll-run-into-town-to-check-it- out." Leaving Cyclops Pietro turned around and headed back for his room. Now all he had to do was get Rogue out. They would just have to make time to ravish each other later.

Pietro's Room......

Rogue suppressed her giggles as Pietro slipped through the door. She could hear him outside speed talking to Scott. She laid there with the covers over her head thinking of the night before. She had never guessed being touch could feel that good. Not to mention some of the other things they had some. Thinking of them even now made her blush. Rogue knew they would eventually have to tell somebody that Pietro could withstand her lethal skin somehow, but she liked the thought of it being a secret just the two of them could share. Scott and Pietro's voices were fading down the hall when Rogue heard the slight *bamf* that ment Kurt had appeared.
'Oh no Oh no Oh no' Rogue thought to herself. 'Maybe if I lay perfectly still he'll think I'm Pietro and I'm sleeping and he'll go away.' But of course she had no such luck. Kurt made his way over to the bed. "Pietro? Are you still sleeping dude? I vas vondering if I could take your racing game downstairs?? I vant to kick Evan's ass." Getting no reply from the bundle in the middle of the bed Kurt walked over and poked 'Pietro' in the side. "Come on man wake up. I know how much you love it when somebody beats Evan." Kurt began to pull the sheet down slowly and his yellow eyes met a pair of big round green ones. "ROGUE?" Kurt yelled out. Rogue quickly shushed him, "Quiet Kurt, geeze what do you think you're doing?" "What am I doing?" Kurt hissed out. "You're in Pietro's bed. But. How are you in Pietro's bed? I mean how could you and he? Oh this is something I do not want to think about." At about that time Pietro slipped back into the room. Turning around all he could say was, "Busted."

Later that afternoon.....

Pietro and Rogue sat in the med. Lab while Dr. McCoy drew blood samples. The whole mansion had been surprised when they learned that Rogue could touch Pietro without sucking the life out of him. Xavier had immediately ordered tests done to make sure that everything was alright. The X-Men all sat around waiting for the results. Beast could be heard muttering, "Marvelous, absolutely fascinating. This is incredible." Finally Dr, McCoy had a computer print out that he presented to Professor Xavier. "Intriguing!" Xavier explained. "Beast would you mind explaining this to everybody." Rogue was trembling and clinching Pietro's hand. "Well, first of all everything is perfectly alright. Both Rogue and Pietro are in the best of health." Beast began. "As for how they can touch. Well, that is most fascinating. When Rogue comes into skin contact with another living being her mutation activates. It reads the cell and DNA makeup up the being like a map. The mutation then reads this map and gains access into the person's mind, etc. There it absorbs whatever it finds. Memories, life force, and in the case of mutants, their powers. Pietro's mutation as we all know is super speed. This in turn means an increase in his heart rate which leads to increase blood flow and so on. To put it simply you could say Pietro is like a run away train." Everyone around the room chuckled at that. "Hey-I-take-offense!" Pietro snapped.
Beast chuckled now, "Don't take offense young man. It seems that is why Rogue can touch you. Allow me to explain. Your cells move so fast because of your mutation that Rogue's mutation is unable to keep up. She can't slow the 'map' down enough to read, which means she can't access your powers. So she becomes immune to your touch." "So-that-means-I'm-the- man." Pietro said with a big grin on his face. "So it would seem." Beast replied.
Logan pushed off from where he was leaning against the wall. Walking over to Pietro he unsheathed his claws. "Listen bub. You do wrong by her, and I don't care how fast you are you'll be in pieces." With a *snikt* Logan retracted his claws, ruffled Rogue's hair and left the lab. Pietro gulped, "Sure thing man." He said in a high strung squeaky voice. Laughing everyone cleared out of the room.
Pietro looked over at Rouge and winked, "Ready to get back to that Ravishing business?" Rogue kissed Pietro on the mouth, "Last person to the bed room is a rotten egg." And ran out of the room. "You-little-minx!" Pietro called out. "You-better-recognize-who-your-dealing-with." And he raced out of the lab after her.
