Author's note: The way I look at it if Lance shook the ground after what
happened in "Shadow Dance" what would happen if they. got really friendly.
Well, enjoy!
Second note- I couldn't help but use that line, it was just screaming "Use me! Use me!"

Lance yawned opening his eyes. There was someone banging on his door. He stood struggling into his boxers. "What?" he demanded opening the door a crack. Remy stood there wearing his trademark grin.
"Mon ami, Logan sent me to get you," Remy said. "He let you two sleep in after last night."
"Logan knows?!" Kitty demanded from the bed.
Remy glanced at her briefly. "Oui, petite. After de. . . noise, and de earthquake, *everyone* knows."
"Oh God," Kitty whispered.
"Just a heads up," Remy said as Lance glared at him for upsetting Kitty, and for diminishing his chances of ever getting a repeat performance. "So, get showered and meet us downstairs." Remy walked away. Rogue appeared at the door before Lance could shut it.
"Ah want details, girl," she said before walking away. Lance walked back to the bed sitting down beside her.
"Any regrets?" he asked.
"Just one," Kitty said.
"What?"
"Not trying to be more quiet." She grinned up at him. "Well, Mr. Alvers, you fulfilled your promise."
"What's that?"
"You rocked my world."
"Hey, that's my line!" he teased. He helped her up. "A shower," he mused. "A very good idea." He lifted Kitty into his arms carrying her into the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later
"What is taking them so long?" Logan growled.
"Three guesses, homme," Remy said shuffling his cards. Rogue rolled her eyes. Soon a contented couple joined them.
"Good, you guys are the only ones here," Kitty said relieved.
"Alvers," Logan said. "You're teamed up with Gambit. Half-Pint, you're with Rogue." He handed them the pads and left.
"Have fun boys," Rogue smiled. The guys went outside. "Ah for one would like ta thank ya Kitty."
"Why?" Kitty asked.
"You two made such a racket last night no one heard us."
"You and Remy-?"
Rogue smiled, an actually truly happy smile. "Yep."
"That is so great!" Rogue laughed at her friend's enthusiasm. The two began sparring. Soon the guys came back in and watched Rogue pretty much kicking Kitty's butt.
"Poor femme didn't stand a chance," Remy said shaking his head. "Mon amour, has kicked my ass."
"Mine too," Lance admitted. "With the gloves on."
"Moi aussi," Remy said nodding.
"Do ya give?" Rogue asked pinning her friend.
"All right! You totally win!" Rogue stood helping Kitty up.
"Hey there, boys," Rogue said stepping over to Remy and burying her head in his shoulder in an uncharacteristic show of affection. Lance looked at the older boy who merely held his girl closing his eyes and burying his head in her hair. Kitty smiled at the couple as she crossed over to Lance taking his hand.
"Well, mes amis," Remy said. "Shall we?" He gestured to the rec. room. Kitty froze.
"The others are there aren't they?" she asked.
"Dat would make since," Remy said in a slow draw.
"Ya have ta face them some time," Rogue said.
"I know," Kitty said and followed her friends into the room. To her mortification Pietro led the group in a round of applause, minus the adults who were in the living room, and Scott who began banging his head into the wall.
"Speedy!" Lance said and a small rumble shook the ground. Kitty put a calming hand on his shoulder and the rumble died down.
"Um, Scott," Kitty said looking at her team leader. "You okay?"
"Images won't leave," he said. Kitty looked at Jean who shrugged. Tabby whispered something to the redhead who considered then nodded. Jean grabbed Scott's chin kissing him deeply. The new recruits cheered while Pietro and the other Brotherhood members acted as though they were getting sick. Lance looked away muttering about needing to wash his eyes out. Rogue chuckled leading Remy to the couch. Kitty and Lance sat beside the other couple. "Jean?" Scott asked in surprise.
"Had to get you to stop some how," Jean said smiling at him and holding one of his hands. Scott returned her smile.
"Gag me," Pietro said and rushed over to where the others were, sitting next to Kitty on the arm of the couch. "Kitty-Cat, Lance, next time, please keep in mind that there are other people in the mansion."
"If you people don't shut the hell up there will never be a next time," Lance muttered annoyed. Remy laughed overhearing this.
"Poor Pietro," Kitty said in a mocking sad tone. "All alone now, `cause none of *these* girls want you." Lance smirked looking at his former teammate.
"Shut up, Pryde," he said glaring down at her.
"You started it, Maximoff," Kitty said shrugging. She turned her attention to the TV where "The Shinning" was coming on. Pietro stormed off. "I actually kinda feel sorry for him."
"Yeah, poor guy," Remy said. "You weren't lying about the girls. Everyone's taken." He looked at the pool table where John and Ray were playing. Both glared at each other in between shots. "Some, twice."
Kitty sighed leaning against Lance's chest. "I'm sort of worried about what's going to happen in a couple days. What if they don't back off? I couldn't kill anyone."
"Petite, when we're actually on de battlefield dings have a way of changin'," Remy said with a small amount of bitterness. "Trust me, none of us *want* to hurt anyone."
"I just wish things could go back to the way they were," Kitty whispered. She looked up at Lance who seemed a little hurt. "With a few modifications of course."
"We all do, Kitty," Rogue said.
"Oui, petite, dings are bad," Remy agreed. "Mais, dey can always get worse."
"Remy!" Kitty scolded.
"What?"
"Haven't you ever heard of the jinxing rule?" Kitty asked. "*Never* say that things can or can't get worse!"
"Right." Remy said in the slow draw, which stated that he thought she had lost her mind, or was being stupid.
"Ah fear you," Rogue said to her friend.
"And that's saying something," Lance said. "*Rogue* is afraid of you." The girl in question smacked him upside the head. "Ow!"
