Goodbyes
Thank you all for the reviews!!!!!
They pulled into the garage, Gambit hopped off the bike and was going to help Rogue, but she quickly got off and walked into the mansion. It was like she was lost in a world of her own. Her eyes held no emotion, but stared blankly in front of her. She walked past Amara and Bobby on the couch watching TV without a word of hello to either of them.
"Hey Rogue, how ya doin'?" Ray asked making his decent down the stairs to join the other two X-Men.
She walked up the stairs with only a small nod.
"One of those days huh?" then he bolted out towards the living room almost knocking her over.
Usually she would yell or glare at the guy, but she continued to trudge up the stairs until she made it to her room and shut the door.
"Oh, like, hi Rogue. How was your trip with the charming Cajun?" an over excited Kitty asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, it was good"
"Good? That's all you're like going to say? Come on, all the girls here are like, totally envious of you, and all you say is it was like, good?"
"Not now Kitty."
"Hey Rogue, are you okay?" the perkiness had faded from the girl as concern etched her face for her friend.
"Ah was thinkin' today Kitty, an' ya know, what are we faghtin' for now? Ah mean, what's the point when all we evah do is make more enemies?" she bit her lower lip, as she did whenever she got nervous. If she could make a couple of the X-Men believe that she wanted to leave, then they wouldn't argue later on.
She sat beside Rogue on her bed, "I like, don't know. I guess I like the professor's idea better than that like Magneto's, seems like a better place for us. Are you like thinking about leaving Rogue?"
Rogue looked at her friend, she was going to miss her. "Ah don' know, today changed alotta thangs fo' me."
"Well, maybe you should like talk to the professor about it."
"Ah don' believe in this fight anymore Kit, but ah thank ah shoul' figure it out on mah own anyhow." "But-."
"Petite, Remy needs ta talk ta his chere alone," a Cajun interrupted the girl mid sentence. He was leaning against the doorframe expectantly.
"I was like totally here.."
"Listen ta this Cajun fo' once petite?"
Kitty, although very upset, left knowing that Remy could persuade Rogue better than anyone. "Alright, but Rogue, if you like need anything, I'll be like around."
Rogue nodded her head at her friend, and watched as she closed the door behind her leaving only Remy and herself. She got up off the bed and pretended to make herself busy cleaning up her desk in the corner of the room.
"Chere, what happened?"
"Ah don' know what yer talkin' bout Swamp Rat."
"Don' give Remy dat bull shit chere, Remy know dat Magneto talked ta you, den you come in here and don' talk to no one!" anger was slowly rising in his voice.
"He wants meh ta join him is all," she walked by him putting some books away and not looking him in the eyes.
He grabbed her by the wrist and making her look at him, "An what did ya say?"
"Ya'll don' need meh here anymore, the X-Men has lost mah interest. Ah'm gonna go with him," she yanked her wrist out of his hand.
"Remy know you don' believe in dat chere, how bout' da truth now."
"He's a very persuasive man Remy," she said staring down at the floor.
He took his gloved fingers and picked up her chin so she was looking at him and half whispered to her, "Oui, Remy know all bout' de man's persuasions. Remy used ta work for him, 'member?"
She pulled away from him, trying to push away her feelings for him. "Then ya know ah don' have a choice," her words sounding more cold than what she had meant.
"Ya can refuse chere! Remy know exactly what gonna' happen, an' it ain't worth it, no matter what he sayin'!"
"Ah have ta go with him Remy!" both were now yelling at eachother.
"No ya don' chere! He offerin' ya what in yo best interest but its not!" he yelled trying to force her to look at him.
She dropped the books in her hands and stared up at him, "Its in mah fahmlies best interest! An' don' tell meh ya know how it feels cause ya don'! You got yer criminal record cleared an' that's fine! But ah," her voice began to waver as the tears were beginning to show in her eyes, "But ah gotta do this ta save mah family! If ah say no, he'll hurt Kurt an' Mystique, ah hurt her once, ah can't do it again!" she turned around and tried to stop herself from the oncoming tears.
"Den when it gonna be enough chere, how long you gonna stay wit him before you figure out he never gonna let you go?" his voice calm this time reaching out to her.
She turned around with the tears wiped away and said firmly, "Then ah guess ya bettah learn ta fight ah friend?"
"Just a friend chere?" They stared at eachother and before Rogue could say another word they were interrupted by Xavier's voice in their heads.
"Rogue, Gambit come down to my office please."
Rogue turned her gaze away and headed towards Xavier's office with Gambit behind her. She pushed his door open and was greeted with a smile from the professor.
"I saw the news programs on the event, I must say that I am very proud of both of you. You did a marvelous job."
"Dank you professor," Remy said acting like the previous event never happened.
"Were there any complications that I should know about?" he asked looking directly at Rogue as if he knew something.
She stared at him back wondering if he knew until Gambit said, "No professor, everyting, went jus' fine."
"Alright, I will dismiss you then, and if there is anything else you would like to talk about, then feel free to ask me."
The two walked out of the room and an astonished Rogue looked at Remy as they walked down the hall, "Do ya thank he knows?"
"Oui, can' fool nothing by on dat man."
"Why didn' ya tell him?"
He stopped her the hall and looked at her, "Cause Remy knows how dat man work more dan anyone, if you tell, he gonna hurt yo family, non?"
She nodded her head, "Den Remy gonna let you do what you gotta do, professor prolly tink da same thing."
She looked at him, "Thank ya Remy, thank ya so much," then hugged him.
The girl kept him guessing, not in a million years would he expect a hug from her, but he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head covered by hair, "Welcome Chere."
*******************************12 o'clock at night*************************
She was packing her things up in a duffel bag and briefly touched the side of Kitty's cheek to tap into the girl's powers. Kitty would never even know as she only fell into a deeper slumber. Rogue put the note she wrote for Kitty on the girl's nightstand by her alarm clock. As much as Rogue hated hearing the perkiness and "like" and "totally" from the girl, she was her best friend. The note said nothing about her true motives for fear of the X-Men being in danger, but said she no longer felt the same way about the team and that she was sorry, and no matter what happens, Rogue will always think of her as her best friend.
She left the room and headed towards her brothers room, Kurt. She phased through the door to see a blue fuzz ball spread eagle across his bed, tangled in a web of sheets and blankets. The picture made her smile. She walked cautiously over to his bed, but then remembered as he snored that he sleeps like a log. She touched his face, taking his powers and left the same type of note on his nightstand. The note revolved around her love for her brother and how she'll always be with him. She ported out of the room and made her last stop.
She knocked twice. The door opened and a pair of red eyes looked back at her. "Been waitin' for ya," she walked in his room and he shut the door.
"Thought ah'd say bye befor' ah left to ya," she looked over at him only to the already gorgeous Cajun wearing boxers and a black t-shirt, which only made him more desirable.
"Did ya tell em?" he walked over to his bed and sat down.
She followed him and sat next to him, "They got a good ideah that ah'm leavin', ah left Kurt an' Kitty a note, I left ah long one on mah bed fo' further explainin'," they spoke of it as if it was usual for this to happen.
"When you gotta go chere?" he asked with a strain in his voice. The one girl he actually fell for was leaving him, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
"Couple a hours," she said staring at the wall.
"You gonna stay wit' Remy fo' a while?"
She bit her bottom lip not knowing what to do. "Let Remy hold ya in his arms before ya have ta leave one time Rogue."
She looked at his eyes and nodded her head. The two leaned back in the bed, and Remy held her as he slept. When she thought he was alseep, she said in barely a whisper, "Ah love ya."
He opened his eyes and never said anything, not wanting to embarrass her for something he was never supposed to hear awake. Thirty minutes later she got up and was headed to the window ready to teleport out, but was stopped by Remy.
"Ah gotta go," she said her eyes pleading for him to let her go.
He nodded his head and took his trench coat and put it on her. "Dis is yours now, don' forget Remy none chere."
She smiled, "Yer an X-man sugah, we'll be seein' eachother again." They looked at eachother and Remy leaned down slowly and Rogue made no move to stop him. He kissed her before her powers kicked in and then fell. Rogue pulled him to the bed.
"Latah sugah," then she teleported to the docks to meet her new team.
