(A/N: IF YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHY ALISTOR IS IN BAYVILLE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEN READ THIS! Alistor was passing through bayville, when his truch broke down on his way to the next town. Rogue came along and fixed his truck, therefor makeing him like this strange girl who could fix his truck. When he went to carry on out of Bayville, he somehow got lost and ended up back in the middle of Bayville, and he believes that it happend because he was looking for Rogue. However, he wasnt actually looking for anyone......make sence? Oh and when Ali met Rogue out of school the first time, he said he knew someone who could find out things, and thats how he found out where Rogue was.......well that was Kate....the litle girl who he almost ran over............. sorry if I confused you Weapon X 61. Didn't mean to.)

Chapter 17: Three months later.

Three months later.

Rogue and Alistor had become inseperable, and kitty had joined in the madness, quite falling for Alistor, though she was involved with Lance. Scott however, claimed Ali as a mortal enamy so they hardley ever spoke, and when they did, it was Scott throwning digs about him. He never started arguments because he was always looking on the brightside, even more now than he used to because the dreams were stopping, he onley got them every no-and-then, instead of every night.

Summer was reaching a high in the burning weather, the summer holiday away from school, everyone just lazed by the pool, when Rogue wasn't beating the crap out of Alistor for wispering her name, or 'baby' when he was trying to annoy her.

Rogue also, behind the scenes, had been spending half of her free time with Mystique, and Rogue had hit a platoe in her controling of her powers, 23 houres was all she could manage to pull of, withought causing extreme pain in her head. It seemed as if that was all she could managed to get done, and it took at least three hours of sleep to bring her energy back to normal after contoling it for that long. It wasn't allot, but enough to be slightley normal when she needed to be, she still kept on all her layers most of the time though, and she didn't tell any-one besides Alistor, and Logan who already knew, but she left out the part where Mystique was helping her, and the fact that every friday night, they go out for lunch at a fancey resturant.

Alistor was asleep on the couch, his arm tucked behind his head and his boots up on the couch arm. Kitty sneaked in, and looked over him, taking some ice cubes from her glass. She reached for his shirt and lifted it up, then dropped the ice cubed down his shirt. Alistor shot up yelping, and danced around the room, shakeing out the ice and gasping as he glaired at Kitty.

"Oh you are so dead valley girl." Kitty squeeled and ran.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rogue sat at the bus stop, by Bayville school, as she looked at it, glad that it was summer. She watched the birds flying over head and tapped her boots on the concreat. She was waiting for Remy again. But he hadn't stood her up in the past two months, he fetched her roses, and presents.. Chocolets and other things that she liked. He came up silentley behind her and wraped his arms around her, snaping her out of her thoughts. He smiled at her.

"Mornin' mon cherie."

"Mornin' swamp rat."

Remy kissed her cheek and walked around to face her, holding out his hand for her to stand.

"What took ya so long. Thought ya were gonna stand me up."

"Never again chere. Remy can't tear himself away. Even when ole bucket head orders me t' stay."

"Ya ducked out on ya orders?" She said.

"Oui."

"Then, whats gonna happed?"

"Magys gonna grill M' ass."

"What will he do?"

Remy shrugged and snaked his arm around her waist and began walking, when he frowned, and looked around, he looked at her and pushed her into the bushes telling her to run and be quiet.

Rogue hid behind the leaves as 3 metal orbs touched down surrounding Remy. Remy took in a breath and roled his eys. The orbs opend up revealing Sabertooth, Pyro and Colossus. They stepped out and didn't speak, Remy just bowed his head and waited, spotting Rogue watching in the bushes. He roled his head and sighed, gritting his teeth.

"Come'on mon ami. Remy don av all day. juss get on wid it."

"Sorry mate, but....you..... realy don't..... have all day." Pyro said, rocking on his feet nervousley.

"Yea, Magneto it sick of your defience, so wev'e been sen't to stop the problen." Sabertooth said with a smirk.

Remy frowned, he was confused, as he looked around him, to his -X-team mates. His jaw dropped, Magneto has sen't them to kill him.

"Wait...... Y' gotta kill me?"

"Yea mate. No hard feelings?" Pyro said as he adjusted the contraption on his rist.

Remy was speachless so he brought out a cigarette, and lit it. He took a long full of the drug, and rested the small white stick on his lips as he pulled out his deck of cards.

"Come on Rem...... Don't cause any trouble mate, it's not like we wan't to."

"Me nither mon ami." Remy said as he charged a card and flicked it at Sabertooth, then ducked out of the circle.

Remy charged another card but he dropped it at his own feet when Pyro brought a fiery horse out infront of him. The card exploded, and Remy was sent flying back. Colossus couverd himself in his metal armour, and ran up to him, resentfully beating the crap out of him for a whyl, as he tried to fight back, but it was pointless.

Colossus put away his metal armour, knowing that Remy was now to week to fight back, so he was about to diliver a fatal blow to Remys head, then he heard something drop hehind him. He turned and saw Rogue lifting a lighter from Pyro's pocket, he was laying, motionless on the ground.

She flicked it open and turned, throwing a wave of fire at Sabertooth, sending him swiftley, crashing into a tree as his fur singed, and then threw another wave at colossus, and he spone around on impact and roled along the floor, unmoveing as the metal withdrew from his boddy, and he tried to stand but couldnt as the flames engulfed his air. Leaving Remy droping to the floor.

He stumbled up and glaired at her as he clutched his blood soaked side.

"I told y' t' go!" Remy shouted, sounding extremley pissed.

Rogue just halled his arm over her neck, she took a litle of his power and ran with him through the trees, useing her short-cut to the instituit. All the way, throwing cards at the Acolytes who were now chaseing them, with colossus again couverd in metal, Sabertooth still smokeing, and Pyro looking week and dizzy.

They reached the institut gates, and Rogue punched in the coad, then ran inside, with the gates closing behind them. Alistor saw them and shouted for help when the Acolytes came into view at the gates. But they retreated, they were forbidden to go to the instituit, it was too-well protected, so they left.

Logan and Storm ran out seeing Remy unconchous on the gravel with Rogue kneeling over him running her hand over his bloody face.

"Come on sugah, wake up. It aint that bad." She said, noticing the gushing blood from his ribs, and the numerous cuts on his face, man thats going to sting in the morning.

Hank rushed out, but he was resentfull to help the Acolyte, he did however take Remy down into the med lab.

Rogue walked around the room, the waiting was killing her as Remy lay on the bed, still uncochous. She walked up to the wall and hit her forhead on it with a growl, leaning her whole body against the wall on that one point.

"You'll give yaself brain damage like that y'know kidda." Alistor said leaning in the doorway. Rogue turned to him and held her arm out for him to coum into the room.

"They don't know weather or not to let him stay you know....." He said quietley.

Rogue wraped her arms around him and leant on his chest.

"Wha not, it's obvious that he ain't one-a them no-more."

"Thay should let him, when the proffeser sees whats happend." He said as he stroked her hair. "He's cummin in to read him later."

"Good." She said.

Rogue heard a groan from the bed, so she pulled out of Alistors arms and ran over to the bed, seeing Remys eyes fluttering open, sensitive to the light, his face showing that he was uncomfortable.

"Remy... y'ok sugah?" she wisperd to him as she leaned over his bed.

"Non. Merdi, Remy achs all over." He said quietley as he moved around.

"Then stop tryna move y' damn fool."

Alistor laghed a litle and walked out, leaving Rogue grasping Remys hand.

"Y' stupid chere.... Told y' ta leave cos if day had av' got y', day would av taken y' back t' mageto."

"Shut up Remy. Ah saved ya ass didn't ah." She snapped.

Remy smiled at her and looked around, he didn't know where he was.

"Chere......"

"Ya in the mad lab at the instutituit."

Remy jurked up quickley, falling back down with a yell. His side was bandaged up, and burning with pain.

"Merdi!!!!" He yalled as tears formed in his eyes.

"Mind your'e language Mr. LeBeau." Said Hank as he walked in. He came over and lifted the bandage on Remys side, seeing a fresh trail of blood around the stitches.

"Where do ya think your'e goin!!!" Rogue ast sharply.

"Remys gettin outa dis hell hole."

"Wha dontch just stay hear."

"Cos, it ain' like dey wan't me here." Remy said, noding over to the people gossiping in the hall way. Rogue glaired at them and slammed the door.

"Its none of there buisness swamp rat." Rogue lowerd her tone. "Besides. Ah wan't ya hear so ah can protect you."

Remy smiled and shook his head.

"But it should be Remy protectin you." He said, wrapping his arms around her.

"If you leave...." She looked away." If you leave, ah won't see you again will ah."

Remy lifted her chin, and looked at her. He shook his head regretfully, and sat back on his bed, pulling Rogue over to him. He brushed away her hair and kissed her hand.

"Im sorry chere, but if I stay, then y' gonna get hurt. If I go, then they won't bother y'."

"Ah don't care. If you go, theyl catch up with you and theyl kill you, but hear you'l be safe." Rogue said as she put her bere hands on his face. "Please don't go swamp rat. This is me askin ya, and ah don't do that often. The x-men look out for me, Ill always be safe."

Remy looked into her eyes and smiled, how did she make things so clear. He shook his head with a lagh and pulled her closer.

"Y' can ask Xavior fer me ta stay y'self tho."

"Alright." She smiled. Victory.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rogue dragged Remy down the hall towards the guest rooms. Remy clutched his side, she'd taken him all over the mantion, he pulled at her hand and leaned back against the wall.

"Slow down chere, Remys in delicate condition." He squirmed a litle in pain.

Rogue walked back to him and stood with him until he could move again.

"Remy needs some morphine."

"No, ya cayn't have any more, y'all get addicted to it."

"Dat aint fair......"

"Shut it. just come on, theres onley this one place to go now."

"Remy won't remember it anyway. Juss get lost." Remy said leaning on Rogue as he walked for stability.

Rogue opend the door and walked inside the guest room, sitting Remy down on the bed.

She closed the door and walked over to him, kneeling down and pulling off his shirt. He raised an eyebrow and raised a smirk. Rogue pulled off his bandage and examind his wound, then slaped his arm.

"Your'e fine ya big baby!"

"But it got y' t' take of m' shirt." Remy said with a smile as Rogue re aplied the bandige and pushed him backwards.

"And fer that ahm just gonna leave ya hear." She said with a smirk and then turned.

"Aaaawww, please don go chere. Dis cajun fool gets lonley." He said, flashing a fake pout.

Rogue laghed and walked over to him, laing down on the bed next to him with her legs on the floor.

"Yer such a child." She finally said, and Remy lay his head down next to hers and chuckled a bit, clutching his side and winceing in pain.

After a few minuets of silence, Rogue leaned over Remy, watching his closed eyes, he looked asleep. She brought her hand up to his face and started strokeing his hair and forhead, and thraceing his smooth jaw, then ran her finger over his lips before touching them with her own, for a second or two, feeling the wormth and takeing in his spicey scent. His eyes shot open when she pulled away, his expression slightley shocked.

"Since when do 'you' kiss 'me'?" He said with a smile that he couldn't force back.

"Since you bacame all voulnerable. And ya cayn't stop me." She said quietly.

Remy brought his hand up behind her neck and pulled her down to him.

"What makes y' tink dat Remy would stop y'?"

Remy pulled her down, again meeting her lips, then deepening the kiss as he opend his mouth and tasted her lips with his tong, drawing her even closer, before he winced and broke it off, with much regret on his part.

Rogue sat up, and watched him clutch his side. He'd never kissed her like that before so she was slightley supprised, it was her first real kiss.

"Why is it dat every time Remy kisses y', he hurts like hell."

Rogue smiled at the comment and helped him sit up, before kissing his forhead and leaving him alone in the room. Alistor was walking down the same corradoor, and she wasn't paying attention so he gabbed he arm and looked at her.

"You ok kaidda?"

"Yea." She smiled.

"Is you're power switched off.?"

"Yea....wha?"

Alistor smiled and wiped lipstick from around her mouth with his thumbs.

"Have fun." He said turning to carry on walking with a slight chuckle.

"You goin out t'night?" She ast, makeing him tern around and smile widley. "Kitty?" She said, watching him shake his head, still walking backwards. "Then who?"

"Jean." He said, still grinning like a cheshier cat.

Rogue laghed, he was onley doing it to piss off Scott. Rogue waved him off and walked ito the kitchen, seeing Logan.

Rogue pulled out a bag of Dorito's and slapped them on the table infront of him, seeing his eyes wander from his paper, to the bag, then to her eyes.

"Finaly managet to tear yourself away from him huh?" He said, takeing a dorito from the bag.

Rogue frowned and took a seat across from him. "No sneaking into his room at nights."

"What!" She choked out with a look of shock on her face.

"You had Alistor sneak into your'es a few times."

"Well..... kitty wonned ta play black jack, but ah kept beatin her so--"

"Relax stripes.... jeeze. The prof told me to warn ya is all, cos of the 'thing' you two kids have had since before he kidnaped you....do you remember that....he 'kidnaped you'."

Rogue nodded and dived into the bag.

"He didn't wonna. It was his orders is all. The proff told ya that when he was fixin' mah memory."

"Just....be carfull around him....ok?" Logan straightend up his paper and started reading it again. "He said that you've been seeing him secretley for a whyle now." Logan growled out, not looking away from the paper.

"..........."

"So you you two are...are you?"

".....erm...will ya promis not ta tear nither me or Remy up if ah told ya we were goin out?" She said with a cringe, looking as inocent as she could.

"Crist! What the hell! You realise that he's the enamy dont you?"

"Was." she said quietly.

"Huh?"

"Was the enamy...." She said smileing.

"Urgh!"

Rogue carried on eating the -potato chips- (A/N: Ive been corrected ;) Then after a whyle she smiled and chuckled to herself. Logan looked up from his paper with a raised eyebrow.

"Alistors takein Jean out on a date t'night." Rogue said with a huge grin on her face.

"So, when is he goin to tell Scott."

"Ahm gonna tell him t'night when Alistor gets in...... Jeans gonna feel bad that he's just useing her but hey, alls fair in love and war.... and trust me, this is war."

Rogues smile dropped a litle, as she looked away. She had been searching for information about her parents all this time, and found nothing but a few sightings of Teren around Mississippi and Sanfransisco. She knew practically everything about her mother, but nothing about her father. Which was mostley what she had been looking for.

"Logan......" She paused.

"......Yea stripes."

"Would--- would you help me find out who mah father is?"

Logan looked up from his paper. "Why?"

"Cos ahm not gettin verry far on mah own. Ahm tryna decide weather or not ta call mah mothers-" She stopped and cleared her throut. "Stephaneys, foster parents, to find out who the mistery guy was that she'd been secretley seeing."

"What ull you do when you find him?"

"Nuthin. It'd just be nice ta know ah have one." Rogue let out a fake chuckle and stood up. "Sorry Logan. Just forget ah said anythin' ahm just bein stupid." She walked out of the room, and into hers, stepping out onto the balconey and looking over, seeing Alistor and Jean leaving in one of Xaviors convertables.

The scenery around her was Getting dark as she coverd her arms from the cool breeze of the turning summer. She turned to go inside, but onley took a few steps before hearing someone tap down onto the floor of her balconey. She swong around, as something moved extremeley fast and stopped right infront of her, holding her so she couldn't get away. The figure was tall and wraped in a black ninja suit, with no skin showing. She didn't have time to do anything before the figure ran a pole through her stomach and pinned it to the wall, then dissapeared in a blur.

Rogue couldn't see, the pain made everything out of focus, she pulled out the pole and screamed with the pain, and fell to her knees, as blood gushed, iratically, from the hole almost through her diafram. She paniced and scremed for Logan at the top of her lungs before coghing out some blood. She was kneeling in a pool of stickey red tar when Logan ran out onto the balconey in time to see her colaps even more. He skidded down next to her as her eyes tried to focus. Her face was even more pale than before, now with a blue tint from the lack of blood as she lay there shakeing and struggleing to breath. Her body was cooling and draining fast, and all she could think about was how slippery her blood was, and she wonderd if that was toxic, like her skin.
