Chapter 10
Sunlight hit her face waking her from her sleep. Rogue sat up glancing outside at the forest that they parked next to, and felt something fall off her. When she looked down she found Remy's trench coat wrapped around her. Out of curiosity she took off one glove and ran her hand over it. It was slightly rough but still fairly new, maybe just a couple of years old. Using one hand she lifted it up and breathed in the scent. It smelled of strong cologne and spices. Rogue couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face, but when she heard some rustling off to the side she quickly changed it to a scowl.
After the sound stopped she turned her head and saw Remy was still asleep. /Is it just me or does he seem more relaxed now?/ *Yeah he's totally looking hot. /I said relaxed. Not hot./ *But you were thinking it! /Shutup! One of the others might hear you./
*It's alright Rogue we explained it to the others. They won't say anything about the fact that you think one of our enemies is a total hottie. /JEAN!/ * Well it's true! /oh God!/
Rogue shoved them back behind the wall not listening to their protests and opened her side of the door. A small gust of wind came through and beside her Remy shivered. Her hand went across the material of the coat one more time before she draped it over his still sleeping form. He relaxed beneath it and pulled it closer as Rogue left the car.
~~~~~~~~
Remy could remember hearing the sound of the door opening and closing a while ago. It was when he was between a dream and reality and like any normal person he wanted to stay in the dream world. This time it worked and he slept for a while until something caused him to stir. A strong sense of panic hit him and his eyes turned to the seat next to him to find it empty.
He silently cursed as he wrenched open the door and ran in the direction the emotions were coming from. It was some distance away where he found the source of it. To the right and above him was Rogue sitting on a branch of a tree. Then he noticed the bear that was clawing at the base of the tree right below her and understood where the panic was coming from.
"Wanted to go climbin' petite?" His eyes sparkled as he saw her cling to the branches in surprise. The bear looked in his direction but turned back to pawing at the tree. "I think he likes yo'."
"This ain't funny! Now get mah down!." All the yelling upset the bear and he started to push at the tree instead causing it to tip over. "Git rid of it Swamp Rat!"
"But it ain't harmin' yo' none." Rogue glared at him from across the distance and nearly lost her balance when the tree moved again. Remy sighed and took out a charged card and threw it. It landed some feet away and the explosion scared the bear into running. Slowly Rogue moved down to a lower branch and jumped onto the floor.
"Why are yo' out 'ere?" Remy got next to her and lifted her up. He started dusting her off but when his hand got a little too low it was slapped off.
"None of yar business." Rogue walked ahead but Remy wasn't going to take that as an answer.
"Were yo' plannin' on runnin' away?" Remy leaned in close whispering it into her ear and then straightened up to hear the answer.
"Ah think it would be called escapin since ah didn't choose ta be here. Now move out of the way!" Remy just kept on staring at her until she finally gave in. "Ah needed to..." She made some hand gestures but Remy kept on looking at her. His eyes remained the same as she tried to explain without words. Finally, after a dozen gestures later. "Ah haven't used the bathroom since yesterday mornin."
"So...?" Remy prompted her into saying more and even though he already knew what she came out to do. "Ah needed to go!"
"Go where?" Now Remy didn't even try to hide that he knew. His mouth was curved into a smirk as he moved his mouth to say more.
"That's it!" Without even caring about where she was going she headed into the woods and said over her shoulder "Ah needed ta take a shit! Now hurry it up!"
"Now that wasn't too hard was it?" Remy chuckled at her choice of words as he jogged up next to her. His arm moved to around her waist but she didn't push him off. Instead she moved a little faster but Remy kept pace pointing in the right direction sometimes if she was going the wrong way.
They finally reached the car and both stopped to stare at it. Inside on the driver's side was the key still in the ignition. Both of them glanced at each other and shifted a bit. Remy's arm tightened around her waist when she tried to run to the car. He tried to get past her but she tripped him. He reached out and pulled her down with him. They rolled a bit each trying to get to the car only to be pulled back down.
"Let go!" Rogue tried to get up again but was yanked back down falling on her back on the ground. Before she could get up Remy pinned her down.
"Yo' ain't drivin'!" She stopped moving. Remy waited a couple seconds and then he loosened his grip on her arms. The next thing he knew he was flipped over with an immense pain at his side. "Merde."
By the time he got up Rogue was in the driver's seat and had it started up. /I should have left her in the tree./
~~~~~~~~
"Chips." Remy tilted the bag towards Rogue so she could pulled out some hot cheetos. They stopped at a gas station some time ago to get some food. Rogue stayed in the car knowing Remy would take any chance he got to get control of the car again.
The ride was going well for right now. There was only one incident when he didn't hand the bag to her and she reached over to get it. The wheel turned in the direction she was going putting them in the other lane where traffic was going the other direction. But luckily Rogue was able to pull the car back in time to stop them from crashing into the truck.
During the trip they talked about regular stuff. With a couple of suggestive remarks and glares. They decided to take turns asking questions and Rogue decided to ask about his mutation.
"So ya cahn blow things up. Is it anythin or just special types of things? Rogue was wondering for awhile what exactly his power is but there never came a time to talk about it.
"Anythin'. I haven't tried it on people though but it should still work." He threw the empty bag into the back seat and pulled out a cigarette. Rogue's hands tightened on the steering wheel as the smoke drifted to her nose. Remy blew out some more smoke as he decided on what to ask. "Have yo' done it with anyone?"
Rogue's mouth opened and she inhaled a lot of smoke sending her into a coughing fit. A hand patted her on the back and the windows opened to get the smoke out. Remy took one more drag and threw it out the window.
"Yo' alright?" Remy's hand remained on her back stroking it until Rogue calmed down. When she finally stopped her back straightened and Remy pulled his hand back. They'd reached the airport.
"What are ya going ta do with the car?" Rogue quickly asked as she stopped the car. The airport wasn't that big. From what she could see there were a couple commercial planes that carried two-hundred or more passengers and smaller ones made to carry a dozen some people.
"Leave it." Remy eyes turned towards her and she knew he was going to ask the same question again. "Lets go."
She was stunned that he didn't ask and gladly got out of the car taking a suitcase full of the stuff she bought with her. Quickly she walked to the entrance, not even waiting for him to get out. Remy got out and took his own suitcase out. He caught up to her and they entered the building together. Since Rogue didn't know where they were going she waited for Remy to take the lead.
"We're takin' de 12 o'clock flight." With his free hand he motioned to the board up ahead. "Make sure it's still runnin' on schedule."
After saying that Remy walked ahead to a female worker and started talking to her. Rogue stayed where she was ignoring his command. After some time passed she decided to go look at the board. /Not because he wants me to./ The big board up in front said that there was only two flights in the next hour, one of them being at Twelve.
She watched the people around her for awhile. Ahead of her stood a family that was talking to some security guards. She was able to hear the words 'girl' and 'missing.'
/They lost their little girl?/
~~~~~~~~
Remy was talking to the girl behind the desk when he felt it. A wave of sadness and fear hit him. He opened his power up some more to help pinpoint where the feelings were coming from. Without even saying a goodbye to the girl he headed around the corner and spotted a small girl holding a stuffed rabbit hiding behind a chair.
"What yo' doin' here, petite?" Remy could tell that the little girl had been crying. Her eyes were doe shaped and her black hair fell in front of them.
"Running away." The girl looked up at him and clutched the rabbit to her more tightly.
"Why would yo' do a thin' like that?" The girl got out from behind the chair as Remy sat down in it.
"My Mommy has a new baby girl now. They wont want me anymore." She sniffled slightly and her eyes began to water again.
"I bet yo'r little sister would want yo'." Talking to her brought back memories when he was her age. He wasn't going to let her run off.
"What for?" The girl didn't look up at him but instead played with the rabbits floppy ears.
"To play with and talk to. Haven't you ever wanted an older sister?" Her head snapped up when she instantly said yes.
"Well I bet yo' she's goin' to feel the same way."
"So she'll want me to stay?" The sadness and fear decreased as her mind took in the possibility of her sister wanting her around.
"Yup. And I bet yo'r mom and dad love yo' and would miss yo'." All the sadness was replaced with hope as she asked one more thing.
"Really?" Remy nodded his head and held out his hand for the little girl to take it. "Ready to go find yo'r parents?" She nodded and they both headed towards the front desk. Almost instantly she was pulled up by a tall man maybe in his early thirties. He kissed her on the cheek and an equally tall woman kissed her on the other. In her arms was a baby girl that was probably 3 months old.
"Thank you for finding her!" The man shook Remy's hand while still holding his daughter. It looked like he never wanted to put her down. An announcement was made about a flight and the family said some more thank yous as they went to board the plane.
"That was a nice thing ya did." Remy sighed as turned around to face Rogue. As soon as their eyes met she smiled at him. /She has a beautiful smile/ "Maybe ya ain't so..."
"Oh there you are." The girl he was talking to early cut Rogue off and handed him a folded piece of paper. "Call me some time alright?"
She winked at him and swayed her hips as she walked away. His eyes were locked to those hips until she turned to sit down at her desk. His mouth curved into a smirk and he looked back at Rogue to ask, "Ain't so..?"
"Never mind." Her frown was back in place as she headed to the gate.
~~~~~~~~
"Last call for the 12 o'clock flight. All passengers board at gate 5." Mare put the speaker down and was ready to close the gate when two people came running. They were both arguing as they stopped in front of her. It seemed that the girl was yelling at the boy for flirting with another girl. /Poor thing./
"Here." A gloved hand shoved two tickets at her. Mare stared at the two in front of her. The guy was tall and handsome even though he was wearing shades. /Deep blue maybe? Or hazel./
"Hello, if ya haven't noticed we need ta go somewhere." The girl snapped at her. /Maybe he should be talking to other girls this one is so rude./ Using the computer she tried to find their names but they weren't listed. "There seems to be a problem with your ticket. Maybe you got the wrong station"
"Check again." /If it isn't there the first time.../ Right there on her screen was there names, and the flight they were taking. "I found it. You will be taking one of the smaller planes. Your pilot is..." Tapping a couple of keys a name was displayed for a second on the screen but then disappeared.
"It doesn't matter. Can yo' let us through?" She pushed a couple of buttons and gave back their tickets. "Have a good day Mr. and Mrs. LeBeau."
~~~~~~~~
Rogue was about to yell at the girl but Remy pulled her through the gate. She was dragged through metal detectors and down a flight of stairs before she was able to get a word out.
"Ya made mah yar wife!" She whispered it into his face when he finally slowed down. Nobody was around them as they walked to the only plane in the area. It was small maybe fitting just a dozen people and it needed a new paint job.
"If I knew yo'r last name I would have used it." They climbed the steps to enter the plane. "Yo' can tell me now. For future reference."
"Ya would still make me Mrs. LeBeau so what's the point?" Rogue crossed her arms as Remy moved to the front of the plane. "Are ya sure this is the right plane?"
There was no one on the plane except for them and the runway was clear. It took only one more second for Rogue to figure it out. "Ya're not flyin this plane!"
"Why not?" Remy sat down in the pilot seat after placing the suitcases in one of the compartments above a seat. With one hand he took out a small case full of picks, clippers, and oddly shaped things. Taking one of the picks out he proceeded to unlock something at the bottom of the console.
"Yar hotwiring a plane!" From her point of view she could see his hands try to match up the ends of two wires. "This can't be happening."
When a slight spark erupted from the two wires he let go and turned on the plane. Things started flashing and before she could say anything more the plane started to move. Rogue went to the seat next to Remy's and buckled up as the plane flew off the runway.
~~~~~~~~
"Hit me." Another card was thrown his way sending him over the 21 limit. "Damn yo'r cheating!"
After spending an hour flying the plane he got tired and set it on autopilot. So now they were playing a game of blackjack with Rogue winning nearly every game.
"Dis is a game of luck! Why don't we play poker?" Remy took the cards from Rogue's hands and started to shuffle them. Rogue reached and grabbed the cards back from him. Then she started to count how many cards she had. "Ah don't know how ta play poker. Now give back 3 cards."
An ace, 2, and a king were tossed back to her and she started to shuffle the cards again. As she was about to deal the next round the plane shook causing her to fall forward into Remy knocking him backwards. They stayed on the floor until the turbulence stopped. Then the plane began to descend.
Both of them cursed as they tried to scramble back to their feet. As soon as Remy was standing he grabbed the wheel and turned it towards the right. Ahead of him was a flat surface and he guided the plane into an almost smooth landing onto the area. When it made a complete stop he shut off the plane.
"That was close." Rogue was sitting in the side seat again. Her legs were pulled up and her chin was resting on them. "Oui."
"So...we're really here." Rogue hadn't expected on actually coming here. Somehow she thought she would never make it or it was never going to happen. Now she was probably sitting a mile or less from his base. "Why did ya bring mah here?"
"Orders." Remy got up and walked away not waiting to listen to what she had to say. He took out their suitcase from the compartment and opened his up. He took out keys, a small box. and small, egg shaped, metal thing. With his left hand he tossed the metal thing to Rogue who caught it with one hand.
"Ah'm not goin." Remy didn't listen to her. Instead he went to the back and used the keys to open up a locked compartment. He put the box inside and relocked it. "There's nowhere to go. You came dis far, go de rest of de way."
They both looked each other in the eye from across the distance, neither blinking.
"No." Remy looked away from Rogue as she took off one of her gloves.
"Sorry." His hand came up holding a small object with a button. She tried to throw the small object she was holding but it floated in front of her when she let go. There was a small sound of a button being pushed before the gas escaped the canister. Her hand went to her face but she had already inhaled too much.
"Good work, Gambit." That was all she heard before she passed out.
Author's Note: Finals are over! Now I can work on getting chapters out faster. This one had a little cliffie in it so I'll try to get one out a little faster. Now for the reviews.

Anime addicted: I feel the same way. Except if I got powers of course. Then I would be messing with people's minds like Mystique. It's just too much fun confusing other people.

Author's Note: Finals are over! Now I can work on getting chapters out faster. This one had a little cliffie in it so I'll try to get one out a little faster. Now for the reviews.
