Author's Note: So now we have some more fun Rogue/Remy! YAY! *big smile* Lots of arguing and tension. You know you love it!
Shout outs!!
Solitaire: I have written more as you requested. Hope you like it.
Fifi88: Thanks for the review. Hope you enjoy the new stuff.
SperryDee: I know, don't you love the Logan pissing off Scott stuff! I know I do. But don't expect Logan and Gambit won't always get along. Strong personalities clash. Thanks for the props.
RogueVampyr: I hope this will keep your interest. Thanks for the review.
Phasmal: Well, in my world, Gambit does talk about himself in the third person. Sorry to disappoint. I like the French too. But I always do the translations for the French so no worries. Gambit's classes will be coming up soon. Promise!
Aezelea: Yep, yep. Same here. Boo Bobby & Rogue! I hope Gambit is in X3 too! He was supposed to have a cameo in X2 but they cut it. *broken heart* Oh well. Glad you like my story.
Barbara Ruiz: I love your blabbing. And thanks for reviewing both my stories. Anyway… the left out Colossus's and John's accents so why does it matter if they mess up Gambit's. As long as they have a flaming hot actor playing Gambit, who cares? I heard that Gambit will have a small part making a Bobby-Rogue-Gambit love triangle. Romy *fingers crossed*
GambitLover: Love the name!! I'm glad I hooked you in. Hope you like the update!
Ev1ta: Romy 4-eva! Damn strait. Anyway, here's an update. Enjoy the new stuff.
Mia: I hope you like the new chappy. Thanks for reviewing.
CaptainTish: She's a little OOC because I've given her a sassier Southern attitude. I just think that she's been at the Institute for a while so she's more comfortable and since she's been hurt by Bobby, she has an "ice queen" sorta defense thingy. I also made her a little taller and curvier because that's how she is in the Comic books and I don't really love her whole damsel-in-distress thingy. She started to grow out of it in X2 and I think that would expand as time went by. Plus she's 17, practically an adult, so she should look like one. I love Warren too, he'll be in the sequel more than this one. In my opinion, the translations are easier to read if you don't have to scroll to the bottom. I only translate things once, so no worries.
The Flirt and the Rogue
by, Caliente
Chapter 3 – Nighttime meeting
"…And this is your room," Storm concluded her tour opening the door to a modest sized room. "All of the instructors have rooms in this wing. To your left, is Logan and across the hall is Kurt Wagner or Nightcrawler. He's currently out but you will meet him soon. I am the only teacher not on this floor, I sleep in the attic. Diagonal from you is Scott and Jean, and I wouldn't disturb them at night if you get my drift."
Gambit smirked at this. "Dey be hot an' heavy, non (no)?"
"They're married," Storm answered in a cold tone, but her twinkling eyes gave her away. "I know you have a tendency to enjoy company from the opposite sex, however I would ask that you refrain from breaking any laws."
Remy's eyes were twinkling, "Que voulez-vous dire (Whatever do you mean) Stormy?"
"You know exactly what I mean Remy LeBeau," Storm responded harshly but her voice held laughter. "Be sure to keep your flirting to just that, flirting." She started to leave, then turned over her shoulder to add, "And do not call me Stormy!" She smiled as she walked away from her old friend.
Remy entered his room and smiled, 'Guess Remy'll stay here for a bit. It's a really nice place.' He looked around his modest room. 'But the room could use some sprucing up.' His room contained a double bed, a dresser, a bookcase, and a closet. There was also a bathroom that apparently he and Logan shared. Remy started to make a list of things he needed to get, 'must haves: stereo, television, DVD player, black light, mirror, and laptop. I think that will do, guess I'll be busy for a few nights.' Remy settled on his bed, and smiled, 'Remy think maybe he'll flirt with that Rogue girl tomorrow, she seems interesting and has a nice body to boot.' He tried to sleep for a little while but then hopped out of bed and went onto his balcony. 'Wonder if Gambit can get on the roof from here? Hmm… Remy never runs from a challenge.' Gambit smiled and brought out his Bo staff, he vaulted himself onto the roof. 'That wasn't so hard, and the view is almost worth it.'
"What the hell are ya doin' up heah?!" an angry voice yelled from behind him.
'Merde Gambit, you're losing your touch,' Gambit thought to himself. He put a winning smile on and turned to the Southern Belle behind him. "Jus' enjoyin' de view chere," he responded while visibly checking her out.
Rogue's angry glare deepened significantly. "Well, Ah was heah first, so if ya could please just leave meh alone, Ah would reallah appreciate it."
"Pourquoi mon cher? (Why my dear?) Don' y' enjoy Gambit's company?" Remy smirked playfully at her anger.
"Ah don't even know Gambit, so Ah don't know if Ah enjoy his company or not." Rogue smirked back at him. "Though Ah have ta say that the whole talkin' in the third person thang is reallah annoyin'."
"Most o' de femmes (women) t'ink Gambit is sexy," Remy replied nonchalantly.
"Well not this femme," Rogue responded. Her voice was filled with calm anger as she pulled herself up to her full height, though she was still shorter than him. She poked him in the chest while her glare grew. "Ah see right through you. Yer just some playboy thief who gets by on his good looks. Ya use women like ATM machines, stick ya thing in and get what ya want out. An' ya're nothin' but a bad boy wannabe."
Gambit grew angry, 'Why is this fille (girl) so bitter and cruel.' "Well at leas' Remy ain't some ice cold bitter, Sout'ern debutan' wannabe. Gambit don' know why y' so angry wit' him. 'Specially when he hasn' done not'in' t' y'."
Rogue sighed and trying to calm herself down and looked at the Cajun in front of her. "Remy, do ya know about mah powers?"
Gambit nodded his head slightly, still confused. "Gambit knows y' can' touch. An' dat de Iceman cheated wit' anot'er fille while y' were dating."
"Damn Jubes can't keep her big mouth shut," Rogue muttered angrily. She removed a glove to inspect her pale hand. "Mah curse, Ah mean power, allows meh ta absorb the life force, memories, and mutant powers of everybody that Ah touch. Problem is, Ah can't control it. An' Ah neva will be able ta. So Ah can't touch. Anybody. Eva."
Gambit felt her pain and anger. She looked so dejected and innocent. Remy looked in her eyes and took her bare hand in his gloved one. "Remy sorry chere, he didn't know." He didn't move away from her, he just squeezed her hand.
"It's fine Swamp Rat." Rogue sighed and moved away from Remy. "Ya just put meh on edge. Ya don't flinch o' anythang. It's very unnervin' ta meh." Rogue grabbed her hand from her grasp and attempted a weak smile. "Ah thank Ah'm goin' ta go ta bed. 'Night Cajun."
Remy smiled. "Night chere. Sweet dreams." He watched her jump down onto her own balcony and smiled. 'Remy thinks this girl could use some extra attention. And Remy wouldn't mind helping in that department. It's a good excuse to flirt with her.' He smiled to himself as he hopped down onto his own balcony. 'Maybe Remy can even crack that icy barrier she's put up too.'
Be sure to read and review. I know you want to. Like Nike says, "Just Do It." Too bad Kobe took that a little too far.
