A Night To Remember
By Lady Trunks
Part 4
Yep, still dedicated to Roguechere. You always manage to make me laugh. Your denial is so amusing. And I don't like the term slut, how about morally flexible? Sounds better. And SHOFY= Still Holding Out For You. A little fic I wrote once upon a time. And I don't know why you would say that Warren fancies himself to be a player, he hates to even leave my site. I have to push him out the door to get my "alone time" with Pietro. But now that you've graciously given up the guys, I have nothing more to say... Except, are Logan and Mystique working out to your satisfaction?
Forgive the lack of Remy's accent. Please? I know I would just butcher it. Maybe when I'm finished I'll get someone who's actually good at that stuff to go back and fix it. Author notes at the end… ^^
(Thoughts)
*Telepathy*
"Speaking"
I recognized them immediately, despite the alcohol I had consumed. The first one was Pietro Maximoff, whom I had once lived at the Brotherhood Boarding house with when I was still part of the 'dark' force. Though I didn't know the name of the other guy, I recognized him as one of Magneto's new lackeys. In fact, in a battle not to long ago he had tried to blow me up with some playing card. The King of Hearts indeed.
As soon as I recognized who it was, the first thought that went through my head was 'Hell No!'. I had been hoping for a peaceful (okay not necessarily peaceful, but still…) night out and the last thing I needed was to run into the enemy. The enemy who, for some reason, seemed to not recognize me. Not to mention they possessed the sheer audacity to hit on me. Simultaneously! It was beyond aggravating… despite the slight feeling of flattery that it invoked. And it was slight. SLIGHT, I said.
Okay, so maybe I was flattered, but that didn't mean that I was actually considering taking them up on the offers. It didn't matter that they were two hot guys. Very hot mutant guys. But as I said, it didn't matter. I had my standards! And they did not include flirting with people that have tried to kill. Even if they were very, very hot. Quite possibly the two hottest guys in this bar. Damn standards anyway!
"Not interested." I calmly informed them both. I'm glad my voice came out so steady, it almost convinced me.
"Ah, chere, your refusal hurts Remy." The card guy said, flashing me a flirtatious smile that had the rather embarrassing impact of causing my breath to hitch. This guy could write a book about charm. Charm that I absolutely refused to succumb to.
"And who, exactly, is Remy?"
"That would be me. And you are?" That smile again… He was definitely good.
I was about to reply something along the lines of 'not interested' when Pietro finally spoke. "Rogue? It is you! What the hell? Go put some clothes on!"
"Excuse me?" I couldn't help but blink, trying to figure out what on earth would make him say something like that.
"What are you trying to do, kill everyone in here?" It took me a second to figure that out, when I realized that he was referring to my absorbing power. It shouldn't have taken me that long, maybe the alcohol was starting to affect me after all.
"I have no intention of sucking anyone dry. At least not with my mutant power." As soon as the words escaped I shot my hand up to cover my mouth. I saw both of their eyes widen in surprise and knew that the look must have been mirrored on my face. Now where on earth did that come from? I think saying the alcohol was starting to kick in would defiantly be a safe bet. "I can control it. No more sucking the life out of people. I think I need another drink." I said it casually as if it was no big deal. With that I spun back around to the bar and grabbed up the two drinks the bartender had sat on the table for me. Without a second thought I picked up the blue drink, I don't know what it's called but I like the umbrella, and took a huge gulp.
"Rogue?" Pietro questioned from behind me. I ignored him and took another sip of the drink, frowning down into the cup. I spun back around to face them.
"Does this taste right to you?" I pushed the drink into his hands. He took a small sip then shrugged.
"What's it supposed to be?" He asked, taking another drink.
"I have no idea." I shrugged again before I grabbed up the other drink, a margarita, and took a drink of it.
"So how am I supposed to tell if it tastes right if I don't know what it is?" He asked, taking the seat beside me. Remy took the stool on my other side.
"How am I supposed to know? I don't know everything?" I grabbed the drink away from him and shoved him the Margarita before handing the blue drink to Remy. "Does this taste right to you?"
He looked like he was going to say something, but instead just took the drink and tasted it. "Yep, there's definitely something wrong with it."
I looked at him, before taking the drink back and staring intently at it as if that would reveal to me what was wrong with it. After a second, and another drink, I gazed into his shaded eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. It's not bourbon."
"Oh." I pondered that for a second. "Was it supposed to be?"
"Of course chere. It's the best alcohol."
"Okay. Sugar!" I called out to the cute bartender. He turned and flashed me a smile letting me know that he had heard and finished with his customer before coming over.
"What can I get for you, beautiful?" He asked, completely ignoring the guys beside me.
I giggled slightly at the compliment before stating my order. "I need three bourbons, five shots of vodka, two more margaritas and one of those blue things."

Well, if you couldn't tell Rogue is well on her way to becoming thoroughly sloshed. Oh, the dangers of alcohol. And now the 'oh so long' author response.
Goldylokz- I feel so... cheap! Honestly, when I first started the third chapter I wrote Rogue wearing exactly the usual, same makeup and everything. But then I decided that I didn't want them to recognize her when they first hit on her, and I thought the clothes (since she always wears the same thing) would be a give away. So I had to go back and change it. But I have every intention of Rogue returning to her normal gothic glory. What else can I say but I'm sorry. Please forgive me. ^_^
Ishandahalf- *lol* Okay. Don't you just hate when that happens. Well, you don't have to worship all the wonderfullness that is my sexy speed demon. Why? Because it would get crowded. Besides I tend to be extremely possessive. *glomps onto Pietro* MINE!!! As long as you don't hate him, were good. We can't have any hate, it messes with the vibes. So, on a final note, read this... Of course if you're actually reading this I'm assuming that you read the rest but you can never be sure. Maybe you just go and read the author notes?
Catgirl Rahen- My thoughts exactly... What could be better than Pietro and Remy? Except maybe Pietro, Remy, and Warren, but then that's just me. ^^ I think maybe I have a fetish for guys with wings... Something to look into at least.
Zoey- Glad you love it. ^^
Pie-chan's Girl- Crazy is such a strong word... Even if it fits. ^^ Glad you like the site. And Pietro is so mine. Why just a few minutes ago he was telling me that I was the only girl for him and that... Well he got kinda distracted there, but I think you get the point. MINE!
toothpicksfromhell- Yes, that was exactly why. But then I saw that you reviewed and I said to myself, "I must update now!" I, too, have see the light. ^^ Yep, you convinced me.
Lynx- Next chapter here. Hope you enjoy.
wink- I thought I was being a bit subtle about who they were... Batman and Robin of course! Or not. ^^
Tokyobabe- Sorry you had to wait. Hopefully no lasting problems from it. ^^ I'll try to update sooner.
Carla- Why you hadn't found it I don't know. And I think ages was a little to severe. How about semi-ages. Or maybe just one age? But it is continued, so yay for that.
Icy Flame- ICY! Long time. Where have you BEEN?! Well, I worked around it. I'm seeing about a change in muses. I'm thinking Morph, he's such a cutie. Hopefully that will get rid of the writer's block. And I'm trying to keep Rogue, still Rogue, but it gets kinda hard when she's inebriated. ^^ But fun.
Cinderelly- Continued. I am nothing if not obliging. I think... Let me get back to you on that.
buffyangelus- Not exactly soon, but updated. Hope you like... And if not that you lie to me and tell me that you do.
Latin Rose- I really how you're still alive. I didn't realize it was a matter of life and death... My bad? I hope this takes away some of the suspence. A little? Maybe?
simone- Updated... Of course you probably knew that by now, but I do tend to state the obvious.
Rogue Star- The ultimate compliment! Not bad considering. ^^ You can't beat that.
Lady Aurra- Hahaha -- my mocking laughter. ^_^ You know he's mine, just admit it. Why does everyone feel the need to try and steal *MY* guys. There's plenty to go around. Just not Warren, Pietro, or Remy... Or Morph. He's my newest addition. ^^
jskullguy- Wow, and I thought my list was long. But at least of your list of 11 none of my three were on there. ^^ So, some Remetro. We'll see. I've never really written slash except the Rogue/Wanda I'm writing with someone else. And it also depends on where the story goes... But I'll keep it in mind. ^^
Morphimal- ^_^ I just love it when someone compliments my technical skills. I can just see all my English teachers shocked to find I was actually paying attention. ^^ Does a happy dance. I. Can. Conjugate. Verbs. I. Can. Conjugate. Verbs. ^^ As for the writer's block, I'm getting used to writing through it. My muse went on strike until the WB starts showing new episodes. That's what I get for picking a temperamental Toad for inspiration.
Eileen Blazer- It's good that you would rather dance with Remy... That leaves me Pietro. And I have yet to write an Evo fic that Pietro isn't a main character (or finish one that wasn't a Rietro for that matter). But I like to read Romy, so I'm *compromising*. And whether you realize or not, your review gave me an idea for this chapter... So, it's all your fault. As for Pietro being slightly attractive... That's like saying Remy is slightly sexy. I dub thee the 'Queen of Understatement'. ~_'
Beth- Woo hoo! Finally someone acknowledges that I'm a great mind. ^^ So, tell me what I'm thinking now! On second thought, some things are best not voiced. Like what Rogue is probably going to say to the bartender in the next chapter... ^^ But shhhhh! That's a secret.
Ellen- I'm not taking all the good ones... Just Pietro, Warren, and Remy (on time-share. Popular guy is Remy). Oh and Morph. And AoA Magneto... And Chamber, but that's all. Plenty to go around.
Neurotic Temptress- *lol* A club for transsexuals? That's almost as bad as my bro's girlfriend asking me if they were like the Power Rangers. You can imagine my indignation. THE POWER RANGERS!! As for your cure for writers block, wouldn't work because I'm allergic to pain. It hurts me. But if I could just get Pietro and Remy alone with a bottle of chocolate syrup and some whip cream... Um, what were we talking about again?
Emerald Star- Ha! Do it! Everyone should write at least one Rietro... Or ten. Yep, ten! Glad you like the site (which desperately needs updated . But I'm lazy.) Rietro's definitely the couple for me... Writing Romy is HARD!
Ning Ning- ^^ Okay, some Pietro/Rogue/Remy interaction, as requested. And hopefully this didn't seem to forced either... I think it's time to trade in for a new muse... Or at least get the old one to show up once in a while.
Kuhu Ashaka- Glad it didn't seem too forced. Took forever, but here it is. Hope you enjoy.
Laureate- Triple meow?! Great praise indeed. No dancing yet, but I'll try to throw some in soon. I've never actually heard of that group ( -.- I am so limited), so no guarantee on the song. ^^
Panther Nesmith- The only problem with that is that I worship Pietro with a zealousness bordering on fanatical and if I had to write them in a fight I could in no way risk marring his perfection. So that means that Remy would have to lose, and then I would feel incredibly guilty since I love Remy too. *sobs* But there you have it, I'm not worthy of worship. *sniff* And I've noticed that there really aren't any threesomes. Except of course Haruka's 'X-Men Family', which is what gave me the idea for this pairing in the first place. Other than that, none that I can think of in this section. But I have seen Joseph/Rogue/Remy, Logan/Rogue/Remy, and Logan/Rogue/Scott in other verses. Oh, and I have no intention of killing anyone off. Not even Jean...
Kanshisha Tenshi- *lol* You know, that almost made me put another guy in. ^^ And I plan to have some fun at Scott and Jean's expense. *evil smile*
