Thanks:
Prohecy: LOL I don't love tormenting your favorite characters, I just love adding suspense and drama into the stories.
Equavetporsche: Yeah I'm enjoying having Rogue as a flying character and having her be able to control metal. Unfortunately this chapter won't have much Kurttyness in it. This chapter focuses on Rogue and Gambit.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rogue sat in the infirmary waiting for Gambit to wake up. He had no serious injuries, but suffered a mild concussion. Hank had told her it would probably be a little while until he woke up, but she did not care. She wanted to stay by his side.
Tabitha and Logan were extremely ticked off when Sabretooth and Pyro got away, but they learned to deal with it.
Kurt and Kitty decided to go shopping for Christmas gifts with Ororo and some of the other X-Men. Xavier had told them all to go about their normal ways. He figured it would be a very long time until Cerebro picked up on Mystique and the others and he did not want everyone stressed out about it anymore.
Jean and Scott were helping out with the construction on the institute.
Rogue got up from where she sat and walked over to a cabinet to get a bottle of water. She knew Hank put some snacks in there on purpose because he knew that Rogue would not leave until Gambit awoke.
"Chere?"
Rogue spun around and dropped the water bottle when she heard Gambit's voice.
"Remy, yer finally awake!" she said throwing her arms around him.
"My heads hurts like hell," he said.
"Ah bet it does," she said with a small laugh.
He smiled until he saw different images speed by in his mind. They were memories....all of them. Every single memory had come back to him. He let go of her and pushed himself away.
"Whut's wrong?" she asked.
"Who am I?" he whispered putting his hands on his head. "What am I?"
"Remy?" she said confused.
He saw himself with woman after woman, he saw himself gambling, he saw himself in a room discussing plans with Magneto, and he saw himself killing people.
"No!" he yelled.
"Remy, please tell me whut's wrong," Rogue said.
"I remember everything, Rogue," he said.
She felt her heart break into a thousand pieces when she saw tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I was an awful person," he said. "When I was under Magneto's control, I did actually kill people. I helped kidnap his human guards and when they resisted, I killed them. Before I was under his control, I spent most of my time gambling, hanging out in bars, drinking, and dating one woman after another."
"That was yer past," she whispered.
"Rogue, I'm not good enough for you," he said. "You deserve someone better than me. I'm just a worthless excuse for a person."
"Don't say that!" she said forcibly. "Ah love you, Gambit. Ah don't care whut was in yer past! Whut's important that you hate yer past and you've changed."
"Still," he said unconvinced. "I have not right to be with you."
"Stop saying that," she said with tears coming to her eyes.
"I....I want to be alone for a little while," he said.
She did not want to leave. She wanted to stay with him. She loved him and she would never leave him no matter what was in his past. He changed. He was a wonderful person now. She sighed and nodded slowly. She got up and left him alone.
When she left he looked out the window. He did not want to stay. He felt that he did not deserve to be with Rogue or be an X-Man. "I wish Mystique had killed me," he thought. "I can't stay here."
He looked outside the door to make sure no one was around and then climbed out the window, leaving behind everything he loved.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Kurt and Kitty walked back to their apartments after all the Christmas shopping. They had both successfully got gifts for each other and were very happy about it.
When Kitty walked into hers and Rogue's apartment, she saw Rogue sitting on the couch crying.
"Rogue, like, what's wrong?!" Kitty asked.
Rogue looked at Kitty and told her everything.
Kurt walked into an empty apartment and figured Gambit was still in the infirmary. "Maybe I should go visit him," he thought and 'ported to the infirmary.
He was surprised when he saw Gambit and Rogue were gone. He then 'ported to Kitty and Rogue's apartment. He knocked on the door and Kitty answered.
"Keety, is Rogue and Gambit here?" he asked.
"Rogue's here, but not Gambit," she answered.
"He's not in the infirmary," he said.
"Really?" she asked.
"Ja," he answered.
"Tell the professor," she said. "But don't tell Rogue yet."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"I can't find him," Xavier said to Kurt after trying to use Cerebro to find Gambit.
"Vhy did he leave?" Kurt asked.
"I don't know, Kurt," Xavier answered. "Let's ask Rogue."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"He told me that he wanted to be alone so Ah left," Rogue explained to Xavier, Logan, Ororo, and Hank. "Ah didn't think he would actually leave."
"Where do you think he could have gone?" Ororo asked.
"He's Cajun so he's probably in New Orleans," Logan said.
"Ah'm goin' after him," Rogue said.
"You're not going alone," Logan said.
"Ah'm eighteen ya know," she said. "Ah don't need a babysitter. Ah can handle this mahself."
No one said another word and just let her leave.
Logan shook his head and sighed. "At least let me drive you to the airport!" he called.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rogue stepped off the plane when it landed in New Orleans.
"Ah wonder where to find him," she thought. "Maybe he's in a bar or a casino. Ah better check everyone in town."
A couple hours earlier,
Gambit took a cab to where his apartment was. When he got there, he found a note half way in the door. He took the note and opened. It read: "Dear Remy, I never want to see you ever again. You went out with me once and never called me or came to see me afterwards. It was as if you disappeared all together. I should have known you were just some sleazy player. Amy." He remembered Amy. That was the girl he was seeing right before Magneto took him. He did not care about Amy. He was planning to break up with her anyway. All he ever cared about was Rogue now. He opened the door to his apartment and walked in. "Home sweet home," he muttered. He then decided it did not want to stay in his house so he walked to the parking lot where his motorcycle was parked.
He drove his motorcycle to a near by bar. He was very depressed and decided to drink it off.
When he got there, he got off his bike and walked in.
"Remy! Long time no see!" the bartender greeted.
"Hey, Jake," Gambit replied in his depressed tone.
"What's up with you?" Jake asked.
Gambit sat at the bar and sighed.
"Whoa! Now I know why you would wear sunglasses!" Jake exclaimed.
Gambit sighed again when he realized that he was not wearing his sunglasses or image inducer. Jake now saw his red on black eyes.
"Yes, I'm a mutant," he said knowing that was what Jake was about to ask.
"That's okay," Jake replied making Gambit's favorite drink. "You're a great friend and I ain't gonna let some mutant thing break it up."
"Thanks," Gambit said as Jake handed him his drink.
"So what's eating you up?" Jake asked. "Why were you gone so long?"
"A lot has happened," Gambit said. "It's a long story."
"I'm willin' to listen," Jake said.
"Okay," Gambit said and explained everything.
"X-Men huh?" Jake said at the end of the story. "Why did you leave if you found a new home and a woman?"
"I'm not happy with my past life," Gambit said. "I wish I never remembered. Rogue needs someone better than some swamp rat like me."
"Man, I never thought you would actually seriously fall in love," Jake said. "You're an idiot to let her go, Remy."
"And Ah'd be an idiot to let him let me go,"
Jake looked at the girl with brown and white haired that just walked in.
"Rogue," Gambit said surprised.
"Whah'd (why'd) ya leave, Gambit?" she asked.
"Why did you follow me?" Gambit asked.
"I'm gonna go in the back and wash the dishes," Jake said and left the two alone.
"You shouldn't have followed me," Gambit muttered avoiding her eyes.
"Well Ah did," she said. "Ah told ya Ah didn't care about yer past and ya still left. Whah?"
"And I told you that you deserved someone better," he replied.
"Dammit, Remy, stop sayin' that!" she yelled.
"It's the truth," he said.
"No it isn't!" she replied. "Ah love you, Remy. It would kill me if ya just walked outta mah lahfe!"
"It would kill you if I stayed," he replied.
"If you were the old Gambit," she answered. "You're changed can't you see that? Whah are ya bein' so stubborn?"
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Please," she said. "Don't leave me. Come back to me. Ah can't bare not bein' with ya."
"Rogue," he said looking at her now. "I love you, too, but are you sure you wanna be with me?"
"Of course," she said putting her hands on his cheeks. She brought his face close to hers and pulled him into a deep passionate kiss.
Author's Note: Do ya'll think I could seriously break those two up? LOL. Anyway, the last chapter is coming soon. **cries** I'll miss working on this story, but I will write a sequel once I come up with a story line!
