The Flirt and the Rogue
by, Caliente
Chapter 5 – More Training?
"He's very sexy you know?" Betsy was out of her funk after receiving a call and flowers from Warren.
"Whateva, he's just some playboy," Rogue wasn't biting. "An' there are plenty of sexy boys around."
"Boys yes, men no." Betsy smirked at her friend. "And you admit he's sexy."
"So? What's ya point?" Rogue's mood was worsening by the second.
"Nothing," Betsy responded innocently. "Oh, and he was looking for you earlier."
"What?" Rogue was shocked. Her shock turned to suspicion, "Why?"
"Hell if I know, we only talked for a minute." Betsy's smirk returned. "He wasn't interested in me."
"That boy is interested in anythang with two-" Rogue started sarcastically.
"Don't finish that sentence," Jubilee cut in, catching up with the two friends. "He's interested in you." Jubilee gave Rogue a look that said "duh".
Rogue rolled her eyes, "Whateva. Just watch. The boy will flirt with anythang in a skirt." The other two girls raised their eyebrows. "Okay anythang in a metaphorical skirt." The three girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Kitty raced up behind her three friends who were in fits of laughter. "Hey guys, what's so funny?"
"Metaphorical skirts," was all Jubilee could choke out between laughs.
Poor Kitty was at a total loss but once they reached the Danger Room the other three managed to calm themselves. Rogue smiled as she took note of the turnout for this session. It seemed that all of the older students were there. The fourteen-year-olds: Monet a.k.a. M, Jamie a.k.a. Multiple, Rhane a.k.a. Wolfsbane, Everett a.k.a. Synch and of course Jubilee. The fifteen-year-olds: Tabby a.k.a. Boom Boom, Sam a.k.a. Cannonball, Roberto a.k.a. Sunspot, and Amara a.k.a. Magma. The sixteen-year-olds: Wanda a.k.a. Scarlet Witch and her twin Pietro a.k.a. Quicksilver, Meggan, Julio a.k.a. Rictor, Calvin a.k.a. Mimic, and Kitty a.k.a. Shadowcat. The seventeen-year-olds: Bobby a.k.a. Iceman, Brian and his twin Betsy a.k.a. Psylock, and of course Rogue who was doing the observing. The only eighteen-year-old was Peter a.k.a. Colossus but he is only just 18. (A/N: I really don't think describing 20 different characters is a good thing so the ones that are important will be elaborated on. Just know their names and codenames. Thanks.)
"Big crowd," Rogue commented to the other three as they entered the room. She did a quick head count and whistled. "Twenty. That's a lot o' people fo' one trainin' session."
"Don't worry about it," Wolverine's gruff voice invaded her pensive state. "This is just for the introductions, then we'll be breaking ya up into groups by powers and such."
"Gee, what fun," Rogue remarked sarcastically.
~*~*~*After brief introductions, here are the groups*~*~*~
"Monet and Brian have very similar powers, so they will be working together," Wolverine announced. "Also with them are Meggan and Cannonball because they too can fly. Mimic and Synch have similar powers and will be good with Colossus and Sunspot. Betsy would be good with Wanda, Jamie and Rogue. All of you have powerful mutations that are difficult to control but very formidable. Jubilee, Amara, and Boom Boom all have pyrokinetic type powers, work with Bobby because you all have impressive control. The last four, Wolfsbane, Quicksilver, Rictor, and Kitty are all very unique, so will work together to hone their individual skills. These new groups will meet three times a week in addition to your trainings with your age groups." Wolverine ignored the groans. "Also, Roberto, Jamie, Kitty, and Rogue please stay for a minute so we can discuss your private lessons with Gambit. That's all for now, check the schedule for your training times."
Roberto looked slightly angry, Jamie looked nervous, Kitty looked excited, and Rogue looked bored. Gambit couldn't help but grin at their wide arrangement of emotions. He walked over to them, flashing a killer grin at Rogue who seemed to be ignoring his presence. "Bonjour. De Professor has asked Remy t' teach y' some weapon an' some extra fightin' skills."
At the mention of weapons, Roberto perked up and Kitty frowned. "Great, more Danger Room time," Rogue complained quietly. "An' with the Swamp Rat no less."
Remy chose to ignore her comments. "So, twice a week y'll train wit' Gambit." He glanced at Rogue again and smirked. "Startin' tomorrow." He pulled a list out of one of his many pockets in his trench coat. "Roberto at 2pm, Jamie at 4pm, de petite at 6pm, and after dinner mon cher at 9pm." He folded the list and put it back in his pocket. "Dat's all fo' now."
Remy smirked at Rogue as she glared at him. "Don't call meh cher," Rogue told him venomously.
"Porquoi?" Remy looked innocently at her.
"Ah told ya. Don' flirt wit' meh. Ah'm untouchable. Get it through ya thick head. Stop messin' with meh!" That said she spun around and stormed out of the Danger Room.
"That didn't go so well," Kitty piped up from her corner in the room.
Remy nodded his head still confused at her anger. "Yeah. Mon cher don' seem t' like Remy much."
"She doesn't hate you," Kitty tried to reassure him. "She, like, just has some trust issues. Bobby hurt her more than she's willing to admit. I think your flirty behavior has just, like, thrown her for a loop."
"But such a tres belle fille deserves de attention, non?" Remy asked flashing Kitty a cheeky grin.
Kitty blushed at his grin. "Makes sense to me. I, like, totally, think it'll be good for her." She waved good-bye as she exited the Danger Room.
