Hey! Yay! I updated! And YAYAYAYAAY for you guys! This got 20 REVIEWS!
That's like, REALLY REALLY good for a first chapter! I love you ALL! Thank
you! *Smiles like a big dork* anyways! Here are the shout outs!
BerserkerRageX-Girl: I LOVE Rogue and Wolverine together! I think they make the BEST team. I'm not big on them as a romance thing, though I can stand it. But they make the BEST best friends and fighting team! I'm glad you like!
Z: I'm glad you liked it! I'm doing my best to update. It's hard keeping up with 5 stories! Oh well, enjoy the chapter!
Rogue15: I'm glad you LOVEd it, lol, that's awesome! I'm updating as fast as I can! I hope you like this chapter too!
Trunksblue: It caught your attention? That's AWESOME! I hate doing Bio's so I know mine suck, I'm glad you liked the first chapter though! Hopefully this one will be just as good!
Rogue31: Just to clarify, the only reason she said "Wolverine" is because she saw the posters. She says that in the next sentence. "I saw the posters a couple of blocks back." By saying that, she's letting him know that she knows who he is, and what he is. Does that make sense? I'm SO sorry I wasn't clear enough! I'll try to do better and I really hope you like chapter 2!
Coyote Fire: I had fun phrasing the end! I'm glad someone noticed. I put effort to make it sound cooler. Lol, it was the closest I could get to a cliffhanger on this chapter! Enjoy the next chappie!
Chaos: Yay! I hope this chapter's been worth the wait!
Infinity-x-forever: Don't worry! Gambit will be in it! I'm a diehard Romy fan, so I assure you there will be some of that! I just haven't decided quiet yet what his entrance will be . . . but he'll be in there, rest assured!
Icy Flame: You're awesome for liking it! I'm glad you haven't read something like this before. I was afraid it would have been done many times over. I hope this chapter was worth the wait!
Gub-man: I LOVE Rogue/Logan Friendships! They're so much fun to write, and I think their personalities are perfect for it. I'm really glad you thought I pulled it off well. I was afraid I'd demolish it or something, lol. Enjoy the next chapter!
Winged_frog: yet? That's awesome! I'll look forward to what you think of the others! I'm updating!! This one did really well in the reviews, I still can't believe it! Enjoy!
Yumiko: Of course Remy is gonna appear! *Gets starry eyed too* He's totally awesome! And I'm a romy fan! It might not be for a few chapters though . . .
Bettie-chan: Thanks! I'm really REALLY happy you liked it! I get all warm and fuzzy inside! (I know, I'm a nerd, but who cares?) I'll look forward to what you think of this chapter!
The Weird One: Yay! One of my other readers read this! I feel so loved! You took my word on it and read it! Lol, I'm a spaz. I hope it continues to meet your approval!
Girl Number 1: I'm glad I have the IT! That's awesome! I really don't understand the whole Victor Creed thing (sorry, I haven't read enough comics I guess), but it's not gonna be Rogue hating the world, or having control. It's more like, after being forced to absorb certain people who are LOYAL to the bad guys (though I can't say more than that) the other voices kinda take over and Rogue hates herself, not the world. She kinda dies out, cuz she can't hear herself think and stuff. But than something happens.... You have to read the fic, I can't explain it. But if that's not what you want, I'm really realy sorry!
Lady Destiny: My first reviewer for this fic! I love you! Lol, I hope you like this chapter too!
Isandahalf: I feel very special! Wowzers that's cool! Though I'd have to say you're just easily impressed, lol. I really hope you like the rest of this! I look forward to your reviews!
Dangerous Q-Tip: I'm a big fan of Wolverine/Rogue friendships too (in case you couldn't tell) I'm thrilled I met your approval! Let me know what you think of this chapter too please!
Baby-horses-unicorn: YAY! Thank you! I'm SO happy you liked it!!!!!!!!! I really really really hope you like the next chapter too!
ZIEL: I'd have to agree! Lol, Rogue is the BEST and Logan closely follows. I adore Gambit too though, so he'll be in here too. I hope you like the rest of the story! Let me know!
Okay! All done! Enjoy!

Three years later . . .
"I said no, and that's FINAL Stripes!" The feral man shot the dark haired girl a glare that would have scared the Hulk spitless.
But not her.
"Y'all aren't bein' fair Logan!" The southerner knew she was mighty close to whining, but didn't care. "Ah'm old enough to risk mah life, and Ah fight just as good as you, but Ah can't come with ya ta listen in on a conversation?"
He shot her a look. "You're nowhere NEAR as good as me."
She threw back her head and laughed, reminding him of how young she really was. The stripe-haired fifteen-year-old had definitely improved as a fighter, and while there was no way she could take him yet, he wasn't so sure about the near future.
"An' for the last time, you CAN'T come with me. It's a bar. It's not legal."
"Since when do YOU care about what's legal?" Her voice had mocking undertones hidden in the deep drawl.
"Since it involved YOU going somewhere with alcoholic beverages." He shuddered as an image of a drunk Rogue flashed through his mind. "It ain't happening."
"You." She glared pointedly. "Are no fun, mister."
He grinned at her, a devil may care grin, glad to have won without any further argument. "Nope, but I DO have a mission for you."
Her eyes shone. "What is it?"
***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************* ~~~~~~~
"Grocery shopping." Rogue grumbled to herself, pulling on her boots as she prepared to leave their apartment. "Ah hate ya." She growled, half-wishing Wolverine could hear her. Suddenly her whole face lit up. Wolverine had taken the bus to the restaurant where the two politicians were meeting so they couldn't use his vehicle as a way to recognize him later.
Which meant . . .
"Whoo-hoo!" She punched the air.
A few minutes later, Rogue exited the apartment parking lot . . . on a certain someone's motorcycle . . .
************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Wolverine slid onto a barstool, and turned his attention to the bartender. "I'll have a beer." Nonchalantly, he let his eyes wander to the entrance. The politicians were due to arrive in about thirty minutes.
He allowed himself to think back to when he had found out about the meeting. He and Rogue had split up at one of the anti-mutant rallies, hoping to overhear something important. They both refused to call themselves freedom fighters. They were just anti-imprisonment based on genes. Rogue had turned up dry, but Logan had overheard quite an interesting conversation. The two men, whom he had later surmised were politicians, had agreed to meet at Murphy's Bar to discuss their plans in more depth.
Logan would never understand what drove people to have secret meetings in public restaurants. They were just ASKING to be overheard.
These particular men, had plans for a project called "Mutant Assassin." They had discussed it briefly, and Wolverine only knew that it was due to happen any day now. It had been in the making for years.
He took a sip of his beer and waited.
*******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Rogue contemplated the list in front of her. It read:
Honey baked ham
Carrots
Potatoes
Cereal
Eggs
Milk
Apples
She snorted. Aloud she said, "Okay, that's pizza, cheeto's, cereal, eggs, coffee, and ice cream. Ah couldn't have said it better mahself." The southerner rolled her eyes. Did he really expect her to buy CARROTS?!
Grabbing a shopping car, she hurried to grab all the groceries. It didn't take long. She knew where the important food was by heart. She paid, and left, noting that the bike needed gas.
There was a gas station right outside Murphy's Bar.
She grinned evilly.
******************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~ ~~~~~~~
Wolverine's ears perked at the sound of a bell jingling and he turned towards the door. The two 'politicians' walked in, smirking smugly. They were quickly followed by twenty armed soldiers.
Logan shot to his feet, causing the taller businessman to laugh. "Sit down Logan. Wolverine. There's no where for you to run." He motioned for the guards to close in. "We need to have a talk, you and I."
The guards obviously didn't expect any resistance due to their overwhelming numbers, but they were in for a surprise. With a roar, Wolverine leapt to his feet and ran to the nearest window, not even pausing before he tore through it. The sound of splintering glass was quickly followed by gunshots.
*************~~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~*****
Rogue smiled politely as the gas station attendant gave her the change. "Thanks sugah." It couldn't hurt to be nice. The boy smiled, and she felt like rolling her eyes. It sure didn't take much to make a man happy. She pocketed the change and slid onto the motorcycle, wheels squealing as she headed towards Murphy's Bar.
Just as she pulled into the parking lot, she heard the sound of glass shattering. Her eyes widened as she saw Wolverine being pursued by a small army of soldiers.
"Hop on!" She ordered, swerving in front of him.
For one crazy instant he looked mad. "That's my BIKE!" He growled, sliding in behind her.
"Yup." She bit her lip as she swerved onto the street, forcing the bike to go top speed. Logan winced as skid marks formed.
"My bike!" He moaned.
The agents apparently had left some of their men in a vehicle just in case, because now they were being followed by a large unmarked van.
"Don't worry, Ah can lose it." Rogue grinned, enjoying the thrill. She managed to get the bike to go even faster, barely dodging buildings, statues, and other cars. Logan tightened his grip around her waist, causing her to laugh.
"You're psycho." He said it matter of factly.
"Thank ya!" Her smile was dazzling as she turned to face him.
"Eyes on the road Stripes!"
"Oops. Sorry Sugah!"
Wolverine closed his eyes and prayed fervently that there wouldn't be anymore oopses.
**************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***** *******
"Ah think we lost 'em." Rogue allowed herself to slow down the motorcycle.
"Think again." Wolverine heard the van seconds before it turned around the corner. "Move!" He grabbed the handle and revved the engine, causing the bike to jerk before it sped up.
The groceries spilt to the ground.
"Mah cheeto's!" Rogue practically growled as she turned onto the highway. She hadn't had cheeto's in months!
Those government agents were so dead.
Hitting the pedal for all she was worth, she turned down an empty street and headed straight for a brick building.
"Stripes?" She ignored Logan as the building came closer and closer.
A split second before she was about to turn sharply, Wolverine grabbed the bars and swerved the bike to the right so fast they both fell off.
The van smashed into the wall.
"Ah had it under control Logan!" Rogue tried to glare at him, but couldn't. He was laughing and pointing at the remains of the vehicle.
"That was a great idea, kid." He grinned at her, and she smirked back.
"Ah know."
"Freeze!" A couple of the agents had leapt out of the van before it crashed, and were now aiming their guns at the two mutants.
"Do people EVER freeze?" The southener asked Wolverine as they both slid into fighting positions.
"Only geeks." He grinned.
"It's a good thing we're cool." She clenched both fists, confidant she wouldn't need to take off her gloves.
"Oh yeah." Three silver claws protruded from each hand. His eyes glinted dangerously.
They surged forward at the same instant, able to read each other's moves instinctively. Within seconds, they were tied. Four men down each.
Suddenly Logan heard Rogue let out a surprised yelp. He turned and felt something prick his neck. A man was standing next to the wrecked van, holding up a gun different from the ones the others had used.
Tranquilizers.
A quick glance in her direction, told Logan the girl was down for the count and even with his mutant healing factor he could feel his eyesight beginning to dim, until it went completely black.
The two mutants had been captured.
