Remy was walking behind Ororo, and beside Logan with an exasperated look on his face. He didn't know what to think about, and meeting new people was making him very tired. He'd already had enough of the looks at his eyes, and stayed nervously beside Logan, the only person he knew he could trust, for now.
"Ah. Here we are young one. I know this is may seem a little packed for your likings, but it's the only room left, since John... Never mind." Ororo said the last few words quietly, and Remy decided not to press on the subject. {If I don' tell dem all my secrets, why should dey tell me ders?} Remy questioned himself quietly, before realizing Logan was knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" A clear male voice said. Remy noted that he was probably the same age as himself.
"It's Logan, Popsicle." Logan growled almost playfully, which surprised Remy very much. Maybe his new roommates could be his friends.
"Sorry Mr. Logan!" the boy called 'Popsicle' replied, and he opened the door.
"Hello Bobby." Ororo said with hidden sadness. "Um... This is Remy LeBeau, he will be your new... erm... Roommate." she managed to studder out. "Remy, this is Robert Drake -"
"Bobby or Iceman." Bobby cut in with a smile plastered all over his face. Remy surveyed the boy. Blond hair, spiked up, striking blue eyes, angular features with a muscular body of a teenager that worked out on an daily basis. {Dieu, I migh' actually have some comp'tition for de ladies} Remy thought to himself.
"And this," Ororo said, with a glance at Bobby for interrupting him, "is Piotr Rasputin." Piotr seemed to wait patiently before looking up from the book he was reading. He had obviously just woken up, since it was a Saturday morning, and Remy was shocked. He knew he had to be his age, but he looked amazingly older with extremely large muscles bunching under his dark skin. He had dark eyes, deep brown and short black hair having no need to style Piotr only smiled at Remy shocked expression. Remy knew they were sizing him up aswell.
{Wow! He seems cool!} Bobby thought as he surveyed the other boy. He couldn't be older than him, though he was taller, only be a few inches. He had long auburn hair, shocking red-on-black eyes, angular features much like himself. He also had an auburn goatee *(A/N: The goatee from X-men: Evolution, both parts)*. He had on a long brown trench coat, which hid his thin, but very well defined muscles, shown off underneath by a tight navy shirt.
"Call me Peter or Colossus, Remy Lebeau." Peter said with an Americanized Russian accent.
"Popsicle, Flex, be nice to Gumbo, or you'll have me to deal with." Logan said with mock anger and protectiveness. Bobby smiled, and Peter rolled his eyes and went back to reading his books. With that Ororo said some more words that Remy didn't listen to, probably lights out and waking time for classes. Bobby ushered him in and pointed out the bed that was vacant.
"That was John's, before he went with Magneto." Bobby sneered the last word angrily, before smiling again at Remy. "But it's yours now!"
"T'anks, mon ami." Remy replied simply. Bobby's eyes lit up, intrigued by his new friends accent. Remy new the question. "Oui, I am Cajun."
"That's really cool! I'm from Boston originally, but this is my home now! And Pete's from Russia, but he's been here for a few years, so his acents fading a bit. You should have seen him when he first came! He didn't know one word of English, and he kept on getting frustrated and walking away before Prof. helped teach him English telepathically." Bobby said enthusiastically. "Oh yeah! Our powers!!!" he said, almost more enthusiastically, and Peter set his book down, finally interested in the conversation. "I can control ALL organic ice, and created ice from the water vapor in the air ." Bobby proceeded to show Remy what he meant, and created a perfect sculpture of a small dagger out of ice. "Prof. X and Jean were teaching me how to create shapes like this before Jean died..." He trailed off, and waited until he composed himself completely before looking back up at Remy. "I can also lower my Body temperature, enough to do this." Bobby said again quickly before turning his whole body into complete ice. When he turned back into his human state, he looked at Remy with triumph shining in his eyes. "That one's new, pretty cool huh?"
Before Remy could answer, Peter bumped into the conversation. "More like frozen, Bobby." There was a general laugh before Peter took the floor again. "My powers aren't as extravagant as Bobby's -" Bobby snorted, and was going to argue, but stopped. Peter had taken off his tank top, showing all his muscles defined perfectly all over his upper body. "But it's easier to emphasize when I take my shirt off." He said quietly. He then proceeded to cover his body in a metal that came from his body. "It's organic steel. The metal also grants my super strength. I was once able to do ten reps on a bench press with one thousand pounds." he said, and Remy's mouth hit the floor in awe, making Peter laugh. "It's a good thing we're friends, no?"
"Wow." was all Remy could muster at his new found hope-to-be friends. He saw Bobby's eyes lock into his, and the inevitable question was coming.
"So," Bobby said, breaking the short silence. "What're your powers?" he asked.
But, before he could answer, there was a sharp knock on the door. Peter got up and walked to the door, oblivious to the fact that all he had on were a pair of sweat pants. Bobby chuckled, he had obviously been up for hours, and was dressed in jeans and a plain white fitting t-shirt, with a jean jacket overtop. He pointed to the door, obviously knowing what was coming. Remy turned around, wanting to know who was there, and how he would get a laugh at what was coming. Once Peter opened the door, he was greeted by the faces of the three girls Remy had seen before in the hallway. Peter turned bright red when he met his eyes with a certain girls', she was matching the red displayed on Peter's face. Peter mumbled something in Russian and ran to his dresser and then to the bathroom. While he was gone, the girls walked in one by one, Bobby introducing them.
"Remy, this is Katherine Pryde." He said indicating the girl with the short hair *(A/N: It's Movie 1 Kitty, not Movie 2! I like movie 1 better!)* "But she prefers Kitty or Shadowcat." he finished. She inclined her head, said a simple "Hi." and walked to Peter's bed and sat down as he exited the bathroom, dressed in loose black jeans and a fitting red sleeveless shirt and a black sweatband on his left hand. He sat down next to Kitty, and she fell back under the added weight right onto Peter, making them both blush deep red and causing Bobby to burst out laughing. After everyone had composed themselves, Bobby turned to the next girl. Remy goggled in a quickly recovering shock, noticing the smile the pretty Asian girl was giving him. "This is Jubilation Lee," Bobby said, interrupted by a sigh from the girl. "But she prefers Jubilee." he corrected quickly, as the smile returned to her face and she moved over to the floor in front of Remy's new bed, sitting down. He noticed her clothes. She wore a brightly striped tube top, covered by a Yellow coat, and stretch blue jeans covered her form perfectly. He remembered he was staring and turned back to Bobby. Another girl had just entered the room, and looked at him with a bit of attitude in her eyes. He had seen that look in Logan's eyes almost every time they had spoken. Bobby then said. "This is Marie d'Ancanto." Bobby said quietly, with a proud smile on his face.
"Call meh Rogue." she said curtly, making Remy look shocked. He couldn't help but stare, she was beauty personified with a sassy attitude mixed up in the middle. She was beautiful, with curves in ALL the right places, and piercing green eyes, and beautifully silky dark red hair tied up in a ponytail with two White streaks framing her face. She was wearing a light pink baby t-shirt that covered her midriff completely, and long white gloves up her arms, leaving exposed bits of skin below the hem of the shirt. She also wore a long denim skirt, covering her legs entirely.
When she walked fully into the room, Remy's heart flipped, but as she walked into Bobby's arms, he felt horrible for wanting to take this beautiful girl away from his new found friend. Bobby gestured toward Kitty, who was now laying back, looking completely serene against Peter's chest and she had her arms on his large forearms which were around her waist. Bobby smiled happily, this was abviously history in the making. Bobby mouthed 'They've had a crush on eachother for ages!' before resuming the smile. Remy couldn't help but smile either.
"I suppose you've already told him about your powers boys." Jubilee said happily as she glanced at Remy. Bobby and Peter both nodded, and waited for the girl's to do the same.
"Well. I can create globes of energy from my hands that can blind and hurt enemies, and short out circuitry." at Remy's confused expression, she giggled slightly. "Think fireworks!" she said, and he smiled.
Kitty seemed to wake up and looked at Remy. "I can become intangible and phase through any object or person in up to, like, *(A/N: I PROMISE to keep the 'like', 'ohmygawd' and 'totally' down to a minimum)* 3 dimensions." she said, with an obvious Illinois valley girl accent, and to prove her point, she slipped down through the bed and the back up on the back side of Remy and tapped his shoulder. He turned, slightly shocked and she laughed.
"Wow." he whistled. "Dat could come in handy, p'tite." he said. Which got her to start.
"Neat! Your, like, french!" She said in awe.
"Naw, to 'merican to be french p'tite, I'm jus' Cajun."
Kitty smiled and went back to Peter's arms and rested against his chest again. He then turned to the young woman called Rogue.
"An' what do you do, Rogue?" he asked, trying to hide the desire in his voice, and it worked.
"Ah've got the ability ta absorb the life force, memories, an' in tha case of mutants, Ah absord their powers through a touch to mah skin." To prove her point, she pulled off a glove and touched Bobby's clean shaven face quickly, then blew out frozen air from he mouth.
"So, you can 'ave diff'rint powers every time you fight Rogue? Dat must confuse yo'r 'nemies." Remy said, awestruck again for nearly the millionth time today.
"Yeah." she replied, and then glanced to his eyes. She was intrigued if this was the only mutation, and asked the question Bobby had asked minutes before.
"So, Swamp Rat, what do yeh do? Other then the eyes, of course." She asked quickly, moving from his penetrating gaze.
"Well, I 'ave de 'bility to charm ot'er people into t'ink what I want dem to t'ink, and agree wit my suggestions. Hypnotic, kinda." He said dismissively, not noticing he had a deck of cards in his hands and he had started to shuffle instinctively.
"So, ya think ya can beat meh in a card came, Swamp rat?" Rogue asked, then proceeded to challenge the entire room to a game of poker. Remy couldn't back down from a challenge.
Half an hour later, Bobby, Peter, Kitty and Jubilee were all out of chips, and each were looking at the final two. They had decided to bet all their chips on this last hand, and Rogue looked as if she was ready to kill. Once she had her last cards on, she met Remy's perfect poker face with a self satisfied smirk.
"Sure ya don't want to fold, Swamp rat?" Rogue asked quietly to her adversary. Remy just raised an eyebrow and smirked at her.
{Ugh. That smirk again. He's made it at least fifty times in this game alone! It's so irritating!} Rogue thought angrily to herself.
"I neva back down from a challenge, p'tite." He said simply, not wavering his emotions any.
"Fine, then you lose!" She said, placing her cards down. "Full house, Kings over Queens!" She sat back and smirked to the applause from the girls, along with the groans from the boys.
"I b'lieve you are mistaken chere!" He said. She looked at him questioningly. He put down his cards one by one. "Royal Flush." he said, and sat back, that smirk growing into a broad grin as the boys cheered loudly.
"I believe that earns you the name 'Gambit' my friend." Peter said with a large smile on his face.
"I t'ink I like de sound of dat, mon ami!" Remy replied happily. That's when Rogue stood up.
"This ain't over Swamp rat!" She yelled while laughing. "I'll beat ya one day!" She said before the door opened up to show Logan sauntering in, pointing at the clock.
"Sorry guys, but I got ta break up this party!" Logan said with his best you- shouldn't-be-up-this-late frown. "Marie, Half-pint, Firecracker, you gotta get back to yer room now."
Kitty walked up and kissed Peter lightly on the cheek, making him turn bright red before hugging her for a moment. She then got up and left down the hall, with Jubilee on her heels. Rogue went up and kissed Bobby lightly before walking out the door.
"Ah'll se y'all tomorrow boys." She said before walking down the hall after her friends.
"Flex, Popsicle, Gumbo, bed. Now. Two of you have a training session tomorrow morning, and the other has his placement tests." Logan grunted before walking out the door.
"Have we really been in here all day?" Bobby asked innocently, as none of them had noticed the darkness and the clock that said eleven thirty pm. Peter yawned and got changed in the bathroom, then Bobby ducked in afterwards and got changed aswell. Then Remy sauntered in and proceeded to change. Once he came back out, he saw that the other two were already in bed, and he proceeded to his own, soon drifting off into sleep, glad to be in a soft bed for once.
