Cat Vs Mouse

Idea: AU Remy is a thief ( as always, and Rogue is a detective who is on the case of serial robbings)

Too Late

" Damn it Kurt, he struck again!" The female roared as she watched the news report.

" Vhat? Are you serious Marie!" The young German man responded over the phone.

" I'm going down there to investigate."

" Marie, it's two am. Just go back to bed, I am before Kathrine kills me. "

Kurt sighed as he heard the click of the line, indicating that she had hung up.

" Your partner works too hard Kurt." The sleepy brunette muttered softly.

" Ja I know, but she is good at what she does."

Marie stepped quietly out of her Aston Martin Coupe as she approached the scene of the crime.

" What was it this time?" She asked hastily as she stepped up to the chief of police.

" A painting, dated back to the eighteenth century. probably worth 150 grand; perhaps even more. "

" Finger prints?"

The chief shook his head.

" Foot prints?" Yes but this individual has them smoothed so we can't identify anything besides the size he wears."

" Any hair particles or anything?!" Marie asked with a hint of malice in her voice.

" Nada, look there isn't much you can do so just go home. You'll get your break in this case soon, I mean even the best thieves make an error sometime."

Marie sighed as she shook her head and turned upon heel heading out towards her car once more. Her eyes quickly caught a glimpse of a man dressed in a police uniform, he had long auburn locks, which her lazily tied back into a ponytail, letting a few strands hang freely. His face reminded her of a porcelain doll, perfectly designed; high cheek bones, full lips and a perfect complexion but what she found quite shocking was the fact that he had a pair of red on black eyes.. A mutant, no doubt, just as she. The man quietly looked up from his work and flashed her a gentle smile , which broke her from her dazed state. She stood beside her car door and fumbled for her keys, which fell from her purse and onto the ground. She quickly scooped them up and looked about to find the young man was gone. ' Probably in the house helping clean up.' She pondered to herself as she unlocked the door and climbed into the car then cut on the ignition. She slammed the car door shut then shifted into gear, speeding off into the night.

Author notes: Yes they do have their powers. Rogue has control of hers in this version as well.
