Mail call: Hey Acadian Angel!! Thanks for taking time to review. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and I really appreciate your feedback. Yeh, they know it's a lot to ask of Gambit, but the little girl's life is more important. If you like Gambit & Rogue romyness, check out the first story I published "The Obelisk of Power" (it's completed). It got some good reviews and I'm pretty proud of it. Thanks again and I hope you keep reading!!!

"Rogue! Rogue!" Kitty came running into Rogue's room, almost out of breath.
"What's up, Kit cat?" Rogue smiled at her friend as she continued to pack for the mission.
"I, like, hear you're going on some kind of mission to save a girl with powers like mine" she managed to blurt out as she tried to catch her breath.
"Whoa, slow down. Of course, sugah. We're leaving shortly." Rogue replied.
"Can I come? Who else around here, like, knows about phasing better than me? I mean, duh, it only makes sense to take me along."
"Well, Kitty, I'm not the one ya should be asking. If ya really want to go, ya need to ask the Professor. But, ya better hurray. We're leaving in an hour, and ya know how Logan gets when we're late leaving on a mission." Rogue rolled her eyes.
Kitty ran out of the room headed straight for the Professor. She burst into his office like a wild animal, breathing hard from running down the stairs and through the halls. But, he wasn't completely surprised by this. With her emotions so high, he had sensed her coming even before her descent down the stairs. In fact, he was surprised she hadn't just phased directly through the floor into his office from the upstairs.
"Professor, I want to go on this mission! I, like, deserve to go on this mission!" she exclaimed.
"Now Kitty, I have no doubt you would be very helpful in this mission" he calmly stated.
"But, Professor, like I really think I should…" she started whining, and then a revelation came to her face stopping her cold. "Wait, did you just say I could go?"
The Professor smiled at her and nodded. "You have less than an hour to get your things and meet at the Blackbird".
"That's so totally awesome!!" Kitty screamed. "Thank you Professor, I won't let you down". She turned on her heel and ran elated from the room exclaiming "WHAT am I going to wear?"
Xavier just chuckled and shook his head.
