She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
'Cause she's a mystery

"What are we doing in here?" Lance asked Kitty. "What happened?"
"It's, like, totally amazing!" Kitty exclaimed. "Remy can touch her!"
"Huh."
Kitty smiled. "Is that, like, all you have to say."
"Yep, this is just a shock."
"Yeah," Kitty said.
"We probably shouldn't eavesdrop," Lance said.
Kitty sighed. "Yeah, you're totally right. Want to go to the park?"
Lance smiled at her. "It's dark."
"I know," she smiled up at him. "It would be romantic."
He returned her smile. "What ever you want, pretty kitty." They started to leave then stopped at the door. "Damn it."
"How did the news find out so fast?" Kitty asked incredulously. The door opened and the three other Brotherhood members came in.
"That's it, Kitty-Cat," Pietro said. "You came over once and the media are crawling all over this place."
"Don't go in the living room," Lance warned Todd.
"That's disgusting, yo," Todd said after not obeying Lance.
"This coming from the master of slime," Kitty said rolling her eyes.
"Bite me, X-Geek," Todd said.
"Not, like, in a million years, fly boy," Kitty said.
"Ladies," Pietro said. "Knock it off. No one insults Todd but me, Pryde." The group walked into the living room. Pietro cleared his throat loudly. Rogue tried to get up but lost her footing, falling. Remy stood and helped her up.
"You okay, chere?" Remy asked.
"Just peachy," Rogue muttered. "Ah thought you were supposed ta be out `till midnight."
"We were in a pizza place when we heard something," Pietro said.
"Pietro made us leave," Fred said pouting.
"Turn on the news," Pietro said. Rogue obeyed.
"Local football player alleged of rape captured," the anchorwoman said standing outside of the house. Rogue turned it off.
"We aren't going to be able to leave anytime soon and it's already ten," Kitty said. "We need to call the Institute."
"Ah'll go," Rogue offered walking into the kitchen and dialing the Institute.
"Speak," a gruff voice said.
"Mr. Logan, you really need to work on your secretarial skills," Rogue mock- admonished. She heard Kitty giggle behind her.
"Stripes, it's past curfew," Logan said annoyed.
"Ah know."
"Hang on."
"Rogue?" Xavier asked.
"Here," Rogue said.
"I just saw the news, are Kitty and Lance alright?"
"They're fine, but we won't be able to leave for a while. The media has us surrounded."
"I sense that there is something else that you want to say," Xavier said.
"Yeah, professor, Ah can touch Gambit," Rogue said lowering her voice.
"How?"
"We don't know. It just happened."
"I'm very happy for you, Rogue."
"Thanks, professor. What should we do about the circus?"
"If they aren't gone in an hour you may stay there."
"Okay."
"Be careful, Rogue."
"Ah will. Bye."
"Goodbye." The two hung up. She walked back to Remy and took his hand. He smiled seeing how amazed she still was by his touch. He thought for a few moments wondering how and when he had begun to fall for his Southern Belle. He also wondered why he had bothered. He was always a charmer, a ladies man, now the thought of another woman did nothing for him. He sighed, albeit happily, he had fallen in love.
Rogue was scared. She looked at Remy still holding his hand. What if he didn't really care about her? He was the first man that she had ever begun to really care about. He was the only man that she had been able to touch. What if she was only a conquest or something?
"Rogue," Kitty's voice startled her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?" Rogue looked up.
"I was, like, calling you fir a minute," Kitty said. "What did the professor say?"
"If they ain't gone in two hours we're gonna have to stay over here," Rogue relayed.
"How to get the media to stay.?" Lance mused causing Kitty to smack him playfully.
"Remy was just having dat exact thought," Remy smiled.
"Don't even start, Swamp Rat," Rogue threatened. Remy simply smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I feel ill," Pietro muttered. "I seriously think that I'm going to be sick." The other two Brotherhood members agreed. They went upstairs. "I'm going to bed. This fluffy crap is just disturbing."
"Pietro," Kitty said. "Once again, thank you."
"Whatever, Pryde," Pietro said but he did smile a little. "Hey, anytime you want to ditch this loser-"
"I owe you, Pietro," Lance said. "I'm going to call it even by not kicking your ass for coming on to my girl."
Pietro snorted. "As if you could catch me."
Lance smiled. "You have to sleep sometime."
"Well. . . goodnight everyone," Pietro said before zipping upstairs.
"We're going to leave you two alone," Kitty said. Lance looked at her confused as to where they were going. She rolled her eyes steering him towards the staircase.
"Remy, can we talk?" Rogue asked sitting down.
"Of course, chere," Remy said. "Remy would gladly talk to you all night."
"Will you swear to be completely honest with me?"
"Remy is always honest."
"What am I to you?"
He sighed running a hand through his hair. "You picked a hard question, chere." He looked at her. "All I can tell you is this, I care more about you than I ever had another woman."
"You're not just using me?"
His eyes narrowed. "Rogue, why would you think that?"
"It just seems odd that you would have wanted me."
"Tu etait tres belle," Remy whispered trailing a hand through her hair.
"Why would you want a girl you couldn't touch?"
"Because, chere, you were different."
"I was untouchable."
"Non, not your mutant ability, you were different otherwise. Innocent, but so strong." He shrugged. "I don't know how else to explain it."
"You don't just want me because now you can touch me."
He smiled, tenderly touching her cheek. "Just an added bonus, chere."
"Really?"
His smile slowly became a grin. "For a girl who doesn't care about what other people think-" She kissed him. He was surprised but didn't hesitate to return and deepen the kiss. She smiled at him pulling away.
"Hey, something actually shuts you up," she grinned.
"Hmm. . ." he mused. "Remy must talk more often."
