Well since we didn't do it last time, I (TheWalrusWasPaul) figured we'd better give a shout out to our reviewers! Go me! (And how come no one wished me a happy birthday?! You've all got till the 14th of August to wish me a happy 19th, or I'll cry. Yeah I really mean it! I WILL cry!)
Rogue Warrior Spirit: Yes, yes he is sweet, we all want one. …wait… I'm tired.
Lady Dragon :Hey! Pay attention to the Kitty parts too! PoF works hard on those! (Not that I mind you like my Romy stuff! Hey! Go check out my solo stuff! More Romynessness can be found there!)
Roguehobbit: we did, go us!
Ishandahalf: You will hereby be called Ishy, because even though I love you, your name is too bloody hard to remember! (I LOVE you!) Yes our batman story is really cool isn't it? Didn't you LOVE the scene when Catwoman….wait…and yes by the by they are totally screwed… what was I saying Robin?
A/N: There is hinted at adult situations in here! GASP! No, they don't hop on the good foot and do the bad thing(or at least I don't go into detail about it) ! (That's for my solo stuff…. Yes I realize I'm shamless… blah)
Chapter Four: Keeping Warm and Getting Hot ( Don't like? You work 6 hours at Dairy Queen (Pof) and NINE hours at Little Ceasers (TWWP) and come up with something better! At least we updated!)
Cold.
It was bloody cold in their cell, 'Ah guess we ain't important enough to waste heat on'. Rogue mused as she wrapped her arms more tightly around her shaking body. She hated the cold, it never got this cold down south not even in January! The temperature seemed to be dropping by the minute; Rogue couldn't stop her teeth from chattering.
"You okay chere?" Gambit asked, not having much fun in the cold either.
Rogue gave a short nod, "If it gets any colder in here Swamp Rat, Ah'm gonna be in trouble though." She admitted.
Gambit looked around the cell, trying to think of something to help them. Only half of the thin blanket that Rogue had used to bandage his wounds lay on the floor. He stood up, grabbed it and moved to sit next to Rogue, "Dere be only one blanket chere. Normally Remy would love to be a gen'leman and let you have it, but I don' like the cold anymore den you do." He explained as he wrapped the blanket around them both.
Rogue nodded and leabed her head on Gambit's shoulder, "Ah was wonderin' Gambit, will ya join the X Men when we get outta this?"
Remy sighed, "I don' know chere, last team I joined didn' turn out so good." He turned to her, "why should de X Men be any different?"
"Because we're honest Remy, we don't lie to our team mates. Magneto lied to everyone of ya." She drew her knees into her chest, "Proffsah X nevah lied to ua, even when he was tryin' to recruit me, he was honest about what he wanted me for."
Gambit went quiet, thinking about what she'd said. Honesty. That was a nearly forgin word to him. He'd been lied to a great deal during his rahter short existence. Maybe it's be nice to have someone be honest with him.
"I sill don't know chere, mabbe I need a more personal reason to join your team." He winked at her.
Rogue smiled and shook her head, "We'll see Cajun." She leaned her head against his shoulder, "maybe we should focus on gettin' outta here first."
Gambit placed his arm round her shoulders, pulling her to him. "Chere we tried evert'ing, dere's no way out." His thumb began tracing small circles on her upper arm, "Maybe we should just enjoy ourselves 'fore we die."
Rogue snorted in disgust and pushed away from him, "get real! What do ya expect me ta do? Jump into yer arms and ask ya to take me? Not in this life time Swamp Rat!" she glared at him, "Ah'm goin' to sleep." She said as she repositioned herself on the cold floor, the blanket which was still wrapped around Gambit, only covered her midsection. She curled up beside Gambit and put her head on one of her arms. Rogue closed her eyes and tired to fall asleep.
Not that that was about to happen, it was too bloody cold, and her legs were exposed to the near artic air. She pressed her back up against Gambit's warm thigh and sighed in relief as she was able to obtain some warmth from the contact.
Gambit sighed and began thinking about what she'd said concerning the X Men. Maybe he should join, he'd severed his ties with the Guilds and had now turned his back on Magneto. He really had no where else to go. With the bad luck he'd had lately, things could only get better. Right?
His train of thoughts was cut short as he felt Rogue shiver beside him. The only way they were going to make it through the night was to work together.
Gambit lay down behind her, he pulled the blanket over their bodies and spooned up behind her.
Rogue stiffened as she felt his press himself against her, the warmth of his body felt amazing, not that she was about to admit that. "What do ya think yer doin'? she demanded. She would have moved away from him, but the contact felt so good. His body was hard and yet soft all at the same time. She could smell his cologne and felt her stomach flutter as she inhaled his scent.
"Relax chere, it be cold and we need to survive." He wrapped one arm around her, "no better way to do it den through good ol' body heat." He said as he pulled her closer into his body and she had to admit, it felt good.
She could practically hear the smug grin on his face, she shook her head, "Ya well, don't you try nothin'."
"Ne t'enquite pas chere, I won' do anyt'ing you don't want me too." He said as he shifter a little trying to make himself more comfortable, she squirmed in return, unintentionally pressing her back side into his groin.
"Careful chere! You give Gambit the wrong idea!" he teased lightly, trying to control a reaction from his body.
"Shut up and go ta sleep." Rogue snapped as the tried to take her own advice, but Gambit's arm around her and the rather obvious display of his arousal were more then a little distracting. Hell, it was more then a little arousing! She sighed and snuggled into his arms, it was still bitterly cold, but she felt strangely warm. Damn Gambit, it was all his fault!
She was far too distracted to sleep so she closed her eyes and started to count backwards from one hundred first in English then in French. At around 75 her eyes flew open as she felt Gambit's hand begin to creep up along her stomach. She did nothing as her shirt began to rise righter and higher and Gambit's hand began to stroke the underside of her breast. Rogue felt her eyes begin to close as a soft moan escaped her lips.
Gambit took her moan as a sign that she wanted him to continue. He began to stroke her breast much less discreetly; he began playing with her rather sensitive nipple. Rogue arched her back, she'd never felt anything like this before. She pressed her self against Remy's body, trying to intensify the feelings coursing through her.
Rogue's moans intensified as her backside pressed into his groin causing him to moan a little himself. What he was not prepared for was her hand reaching down between their body grasping for his rapidly hardening member.
Finally
Gambit could stand it no longer and flipped Rogue onto her back, pinning her
wrists to the ground.
"Chere what are you don' to
me…" he asked, not really looking for an answer as he pressed his lips to hers.
They remained locked together for what seemed like forever, then things started to heat up. Gambit's duster was the first thing to go, followed by Rogue's now tattered clothing and finally Gambit's uniform. The heat the two were producing was more then enough to keep them from feeling the cold.
"Remy Ah…"
"Shh Chere." He said as he kissed her once more, "we don' know what's gonn' happen come mornin', let's not say anyt'ing we may regret latter, neh?"
"Sure Sugah, maybe you're right…"
"Chere?"
"Ya?"
"Shut up."

Katherine was the type of girl who needed to know everything. Not everything as in life, the universe, and everything, but as in how things worked, as in why and how. So when Peter suddenly leaned forward and kissed her, she was astounded that her analytical mind finally shut up, and she could let herself enjoy the sensation.
His fingers inched forward, running up her arm. His large body eclipsed hers, but she wasn't scared. It made her feel safe, like he was sheltering her from all the bad things in the world.
His lips were gentle on hers, as if he were nervous of frightening her away. Katherine knew though, that nothing he could do would ever frighten her. She'd been knocked out for days, but Peter had done nothing. He'd been sent to kill her, but hadn't. Even when they had first her, he hadn't hurt her, or any of her friends. And what had she done in return?
Being with him felt so incredibly right. She kissed him back, his lips surprisingly soft and warm. Wrapping her arms around his neck, so her fingertips were playing with his hair, she fell backwards on the bed, pulling Peter with her.
God, she needed to be with him. Katherine opened her mouth to his, and felt him copy her. She mentally smiled. Peter was letting her lead them, only going as far as she wanted. Kitty slipped her tongue past his, running it over the roof of his mouth. They both shuddered in pleasure. Katherine had never imagined he would taste so good.
Falling away from him, she let her hands fall to his torso, her fingers tracing the outlines of his muscular chest. "Does that mean you're going to help me find my friends?"
"Da."
"Have I convinced you to desert Magneto?"
"Da."
"Does this mean you're going to let me go?"
"Nyet. Not until I am completely satisfied."
Kissing her again, the passion in his touch made Katherine's skin tremble. 'Well, as long as we're agreed, then,' she thought.
His hands began to itch to touch her, to lower the straps of her dress. She was so small, though, he worried about crushing her. Moving down from her mouth, his lips kissed her cheeks, and her chin. Katherine arched her neck, but his administration stopped. Peter reached over and pulled out the key to the collar. He let his hand run up her stomach before reaching the collar around her neck and unlocking it. He threw the damn thing away.
Peter nuzzled her neck, his warm breath chilling her. Katherine clung to him. She shifted under him, phasing so that her legs were on either side of his body. As his mouth kissed her neck, Kitty purred with pleasure. His hand slipped the strap of her dress off her slender shoulder, and his large hand cupped her breast.
She was so beautiful. He wondered if she knew how astounding she was, or how highly he thought of her. When she moaned as his lips moved down to kiss the nape of her neck, he swore he heard music. From the first time he had seen her, Peter knew he had found his muse. How could he possibly let her go, now that he had finally found her?
Kissing her as he went, he slowly slid her dress back into place. "Katya, if we continue. . . . "
"I know. We can continue this later, once Rogue and the others are free." She shakily sat up, but made sure she was sitting close enough to Peter that one whole side of her body was touching his. "Do you know where they're being held?"
He nodded. "I do know where Rogue is. Personally, I do not know how we can save them. Magneto is very powerful, and Pyro is plain crazy."
"Ah," Kitty said, nodding. "Flameboy." She wished Storm were here. Not only would the weather goddess make quick work of the fire-manipulating young man, she was a powerful ally, and a calm influence to have around. Katherine always felt better when Storm was around.
She smiled and jumped off the bed. "Well, we'll find a way to get around them, Peter. Come on. If we can get my friends free, then we'll have more than enough fire power to deal with Magneto and Pyro."
Thinking, she turned around and smiled. "Oh, and if you think Pyro's crazy, you should see Scott when Xavier isn't around. Four-thirty training sessions, until half an hour from school starts. There's a certain reason why Kurt and Spyke tie-dyed all of Scott's boxers pink on April Fool's Day."
Peter snickered. "Scott Summers. I remember his file. Magneto jokes that every one in four people is a closet Summers." Katherine was going to ask him about this, but he gave her back her uniform. "Go and change. If we encounter trouble, these clothes will suit you better fighting than the dress. The smell may act as reinforced protection."
After Kitty had changed, he opened the door. "Stay behind me. And be very quiet. Magneto has cameras all over the place. They're sound activated."
"Really… not a problem. I can take care of those. My phasing power deactivated things like security cameras."
He smiled at her. "Then this could be much simpler than I feared."

They lay together in the aftermath of their shared night, both amazed at the intensity of the experience.
"Ah didn't know it was likah that…" Rogue muttered as she shifted her head on Gambit's chest with a contented sigh.
Remy looked at the top of her head, "Me neither chere." He agreed as he pulled her closer.
They were lying under not only the thin blanket, but also all the clothing they'd torn off at some point a few short hours ago. The room was still bitterly cold but the feeling of impending doom had been somewhat ebbed. It had been replaced with a feeling of happiness and contentment that neither would soon forget.
"Remy," Rogue began, "we still got time before night's over right?"
"Oui chere, why?"
Rogue smirked and rolled on top of Gambit, "No reason." She said as she kissed his again and again and again…
The temperature in the room was once again beginning to rise when suddenly….!
"Brr! It's so cold in here! Peter! I think I found them! Rogue?" There was a pause. "Oh my God, Rogue what are you doing?!" Kitty gasped as she covered her eyes with her hands.
"De name's Remy petite," Gambit piped up as he reached for their make shift blankets and tired to cover them up.
"Hi, Kitty…" came Rogue's voice from the mass of clothing. "Would ya mind turnin' 'round so we can get decent?"
Kitty rolled her eyes, "This is the last time I rescue you!" she complained as she crossed her arms over her chest and turned her back on her best friend, muttering all the while about stupid teenagers and their hormones.

AN: I wanted to have Kitty peeking, but the PoF wouldn't let me! Grr at her! It woulda been funny! Gr……..\
