AN: The song in the last chapter was Eyes Like Yours by Shakira, don't you think it fits for Remy and Rogue? Well, it was a bit of a wait but chapter 4 is now here.
Disclaimer: I still have Remy, Rogue and Jamie kidnapped but I don't own.
All Grown Up
Chapter 4
Remy sat across from Logan at the kitchen table, watching the older man read the paper, "Ya want somethin', Gumbo?" he asked without looking up.
"Remy knows y' don' t'ink he's good 'nough f'r Rogue. Remy agrees wit' y', Roguey deserves better, but I love her an' dat's all dat matters t' us. Remy hopes y' understand dat mon ami."
Logan finally looked up from his paper, surprised at the earnestness in the Cajun's voice. 'He really does love her,' he thought, pleased that Rogue finally had some happiness in her life, even if it was with someone who had once been the enemy, not that he'd ever admit that, "I understand Gumbo, I still don't like it but I do understand. Just remember, if you ever hurt her…" he exposed his claws with a SNIKT and left the threat hanging in the air.
Remy nodded, getting up and leaving the temperamental Canadian to his newspaper. As he walked through the door he bumped into Scott, "Sorry 'bout dat, mon ami, Remy din't see y'," he said moving around the X-Man.
Scott, unfortunately, had a different idea, grabbing Remy's shirt he pulled the other man close and hissed in his face, "What the hell do you think you're playing at, turning them all against me? You think you can just come in here and take over? Think again mister, this is MY team, this is MY home and Rogue should be MINE too!!!!!!!!"
SNIKT. "Let go of 'im, kid," Logan snarled, "I don't like 'im any more'n you do, but we're X-Men remember? And we don't go round killing people we don't like."
Scott looked from Remy to Logan's unsheathed claws and back again before pushing the former Acolyte away from him, "This isn't over," he muttered, mostly to himself, "Rogue will be mine."
"Dat guy has some serious problems," Remy noted as he straightened his shirt.
"Yeah," Logan agreed, 'And I'd better talk to Chuck about that.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Minutes later Remy walked into the room he shared with Rogue seconds before cloud of sulphur and brimstone heralded the arrival of Rogue, using her brothers powers.
"'Lo chere, t'ought y' were goin' shoppin' wit' de girls," he greeted moving over to kiss her.
She nodded distractedly, returning the kiss before saying, "Ah had ta leave early."
Remy sat on the end of the bed, "Wha's wrong chere?" It was usually impossible to drag Rogue away from a shopping expedition, so Remy was obviously concerned.
Rogue shook her head slightly -- as if clearing unpleasant thoughts from it -- and sat on his lap, seeking comfort, "Ah think somethin's wrong with Scott," she told him, remembering the images from Jean's memories, images of Scott gradually changing from the sweet, serious guy she knew and loved into a violent and dangerous man.
"Y' c'n say dat again," Remy then told her about the little incident outside the kitchen, including Wolverine's participation.
"Are you ok?" Rogue asked as he finished, "Scott didn't hurt ya did he? Oh, Ah'm gonna kill 'im f'r this!"
Remy tightened his hold on her and kissed her hair, murmuring softly into it until she calmed down, "Remy tol' y' chere, Scott din' do anyt'in', Wolvie stopped 'im b'fore he could." Early on Remy had adopted Rogue's nickname for the old man.
"Good ol' Wolvie," Rogue whispered as Remy tilted her head up so he could kiss her, laying back on he bed and pulling her with him.
Sorry there isn't much this time but something is better than nothing right? And there's plenty of Romy fluff there for those of you who missed him in the last chapter. And now on with review responses.
Laureate: Two reviews from you to respond to. Thank you for saying this is charming, I appreciate that. I loved having Remy watch out for Jamie, I must add more. Also, good to know the accents are fine, I was a little worried about that. I can be (puts on a very upper class British accent) terribly English (goes back to normal voice) can't I, but I'm not, I'm NOT! (English that is, I am British -- half Scottish if you care -- though.) And of course you love British people, we are wonderful! But weird spellings? I don't think so sweetheart, it's the rest of the world that gets it wrong!!!! And I'll just put away the British pride now since I realise that I've probably offended most of the reviewers. Sorry, it just slipped out.
Lladyred01: Two reviews from you too. Yes the retail therapy line, I loved that one too, I just thought what would Kitty would say in that situation and it appeared. I actually kinda like Jean, she always means well, I just can't write happy things for her, if you like I can have Wolvie kill or at least seriously injure Sabretooth, just say the word. Lost Boys is best, yup defiantly, especially Marko and Dwayne. And wasn't Gambit so sweet in the Ultimate X-Men special, if I hadn't loved him before then that would've done it. If you haven't read it I recommend you do I mean it's a story all about Remy, no one else.
Irony1: Since you've been busy (and gave me TWO quotes--I feel all special) I'll forgive you for not reviewing sooner. You're learning Latin huh? That's gotta be hard. Don't worry this chapter is ALL about Remy, yay.
jess and ria: Glad you like this story and my new idea (It's called Rogue, A, Gambit And A Phoenix and it should be up now). I do? Hmmm, have to go change that now, thanks for pointing it out.
Jean, Ororo, Rogue, and Kurt: Don't worry, I confuse myself too, but how do I confuse you, tell me and I'll try to explain.
Calliann: Two reviews from you too, I'm feeling popular today. I agree (well not about coffee cos, yuck, it's nasty stuff) retail therapy cures all ills, except bankruptcy. I tried to make Rogue say something she might in the comics when she walked through the door, I'm glad you loved it. I didn't have her say anything when Scott and Logan were threatening Remy cos I wanted to have the professor welcome Remy and make Scott look stupid. (Did it work?) Oh, and I recommend that those of you who haven't gone and read this girls fic Wandering Souls yet go do that, it's one of the best stories (not just fics) that I've ever read.
sweet-chick3: You're addicted to this fic? Oh wow, that's possibly the best compliment I've ever had, you are an angel, you really are. I'm not too keen on cliff-hangers myself but I'm glad you liked it. I still don't know what I'm doing with Scott though, killing him maybe? Nah, actually I do have a vague idea of what I'm doing, it involves him getting VERY hurt, hee. I hope you didn't mind the wait for this chapter though.
ishandahalf: I think everybody has given two reviews in a short space of time. Yes, everybody should be nice to Jamie, and since it's a Romy and the three are my favourites, well, I had to do it, they made me. Thank you for the gold star, it's going with the quotes from Irony1 where I keep all my favourite things. Too right yay for Rogue's uber powers, I was just so sick of the Evo writers making her get hurt so I made her powerful to make up for it. Here's more, though not that quick but it's here! Glad you liked the reactions to Remy, and jealous Scott, yup, now I'm making him evil Scott (hides from people who like Scott).
Aro: Two reviews from you, the first one came literally just after I updated. Did ya get your homework don? This is what Remy was doing, and the Scott and Jean thing is gonna be fairly important, but, well I'm gonna have Remy beat up Scott, then I'm gonna have Rogue do it and help Jean so it should work out ok. Oh yeah and there will be plenty more Romy to come.
Remy Shall Kill Belladonna: I LOVE your name!!!! It's R for language but I might change it later. I can't write smut, sorry if you wanted it. Of course if you want to write some that I can fit in somewhere then I won't say no and you can have credit and a special treat, just don't ask what it would be cos it's a surprise (in other words I don't know), oh and the offer is open to anyone else who wants to do that. As for what I have planned for this God knows, cos I sure don't it just appears in my head and I write it down.
Caliente: You are loved my dear, you have reviewed every single chapter, you too are an angel. I'm so glad this is more entertaining than a soap opera cos those thing are really crap, well the ones in Britain are anyway, they're so fucking depressing, everyone dies just after they get married or have a baby, and if you watch one then you don't need to watch any others cos they all have the same storylines.
Rogue4eva: I will continue, I'm glad you think it's "rilly good" thank you.
Carla-p: I do believe I have three reviews from you. Welcome back luv, do you have Sky Digital? If you do will you be watching the new ones on Toonami? They start on Monday 6th October. There will be much more Romyness to come. Thanks for the reviews, I feels even more special now.
Whew, that was a lot. And now I leave you to review again while I go shopping and think of more to write,
