           Now, Remy knew how Rogue felt when he was "talking" to Cody. The Cajun stood in the doorway watching Belladonna and Rogue "talk." He was at a safe distance at least.

           "You're a mutant?" Belladonna suddenly asked. "An' what's your great power?"

           'Don' demonstrate, chére, don' demonstrate.' Gambit's mind raced.

           "Ah'll show ya!" Rogue gladly offered and took off her glove. She reached for Belladonna's face but Remy suddenly grabbed her wrist. How he got from the doorway and there in a second was left unexplained.

           He laughed nervously. "Don'.. Non touchy-touchy."

           "Ah absorb memories an' stuff." Rogue said, jerking away from Remy but gave him a sweet innocent smile. "Too bad Ah can control it now.."

           "Remy fell fo' y' when y' couldn't even touch him?" The blonde asked incredulously.

           "Yeah.. He was the ultimate player an' Ah was the ultimate virgin." Rogue mumbled sarcastically. She looked down. "But apparently that changed."

           "I'll say." Belladonna suddenly laughed. Her laugh scared Rogue. It reminded her of Pyro's insane laugh. But of course no one could have Pyro's insane laugh.

           "So.." Rogue trailed off. "What kind of blonde bleachin' kit do ya use?"

           "How much peroxide do y' use?" She shot back.

           Once again, Jean-Luc and Remy exchanged glances.

           ***

           "Crikey!" St. John nearly shouted as he walked into the living room to see Jubilee and Bobby making out on the couch. Amara walked up behind him. "Look at that lip-lock." He squinted. "Is that tongue? Frost bite!"

           "They're going to need air sooner or later.." Amara said after looking down at her watch. She looked back up at them. "Wow."

           "What's—" Kitty walked into the room. "Ohmigosh! Get a room!"

           "They might take that literally." John mumbled, running his fingers through his orange hair. He wrapped one arm around Amara's waist and winked at her.

           "Whoa." Jubilee said after breaking the kiss. She exhaled deeply. Her breath was visible; it came out like a white puff of fog.

           John nodded. "Frost bite, eh! I bet 'er tongue is NUMB."

           "You know we can hear you?" Bobby shot at him.

           "'Course Bobby-mate-dear!" Pyro's eyes suddenly went watery. "I thought you cared for ME. How could you do this to me, Bobby-mate-dear?" His voice was cracking with (false) emotion.

           Amara and Jubilee exchanged glances.

           ***

           "Mah hair is natural!"

           "So is mine, Skunk-head."

           "Ah'll show ya 'skunk-head'!"

           Remy placed his hands on Rogue's shoulders. "T'ink of 'de kids, Chére."

           She grunted. "They don't mind."

           "Remy?" A surprised voice came from the doorway.

           Remy blinked. "Henri?"

           Rogue looked at Belladonna. "The male stripper?"

           Belladonna ignored Rogue and rushed over to her husband. "Henri, darlin', meet Rouge. Remy's wife. They're havin' twins. Two o' 'em!"

           "Rogue." Rogue corrected her. She then glanced down at the clock. "Oh gawd. Ah promised Kitty Ah'd call 'er a half hour ago."

           "Y' told 'er 'dat y' would call 'er?"

           "Jus' ta make sure Ah was still alive."

           Remy tilted and then scratched his head.

           ***

           "How is it out there?" Jubilee asked walking towards the balcony. Pyro stood out on the balcony overlooking Bayville. He just laughed. But it soon faded. She stood next to him. "Why are they wasting their time wandering out there with heavy signs?"

           "'Cause they only use ten percent of their brain power." He answered. He had looked quite serious when he had said it. That was a first. She looked up at him, a little confused. "Oy. You'd think they would go home at night." He suddenly smirked. "I hope they don't light anythin' on fire." He licked his lips. "Or they're in trouble."

           "No powers." She warned. He just grunted. Amara stepped out onto the balcony.

           "The Prof said it isn't a good idea to stand out here." She said quietly. "Jubes.. Your parents are on the phone." Jubilee immediately turned around.

           "What?"

           "They don't think it's safe here anymore." Her voice was low. "They're waiting for you at the airport. Logan is going to take you over there."

           "You're not serious."

           Amara slowly nodded. "Sorry."

           ***

           "Now, What was that numbah.." Rogue trailed off as she tried to remember the institute's phone number. Remy gave her a dull look.

           "Y' don' remember 'de number?"

           "Shh!" She pressed the only keys that came to mind. "Hello? No.. Ah'm fine.. No, really.." She quickly hung up and blinked. Remy looked at her confused. She shrugged. "Somethin' 'bout hot and lonely blondes.."

           "Give me 'de phone!" He took the phone from her and dialed up the institutes' number and then handed her the phone.

           "Kitty? It's me.. Rogue.. Yeah, Ah'm alive. Ah'll explain later.. Yeah, stupid reasons.. A real stupid bimbo reason." She glanced over at Remy. She suddenly tensed up. "What were those? Ah heard.. gun shots!?" Rogue immediately stood up. "What's goin' on ovah there?" Remy stood up and put a hand on her shoulder. "What do ya mean 'nothin' ta worry 'bout'!? Ah don't care if Ah was pregnant with triplets. Ah'm comin' back." She hung up the phone. "We're goin' back ta Bayville."

           ***

           "I ain't leavin' here when they're shootin' guns out there, Chuck." Logan said walking right into Xavier's office. Kitty suddenly phased through the door and Logan.

           "Professor, Rogue called and knows what's going on. She said she's coming back here."

           "Oh great." Logan mumbled. "Like Rogue isn't already sensitive about all this anti-mutant crap." Jubilee then ran into the room.

           "I'm not leaving!"

           Bobby came in right behind her. "She can't leave!"

           Jean then walked into the room and pushed everyone that stood in her way, out of it by her mind. "They burned down the Brotherhood's house and some are planting bombs into the sewers. Senator Kelly is trying to pass a law on—"

           "In the sewers?" Ororo suddenly asked. "Oh my.. Evan. I must see if he is alright."

           "He can fend for himself, Ororo. Right now we have greater worries." The Professor said. "As soon as Rogue and Gambit arrive, I am closing everything. Everything will be shut down so nothing can get in or out."

           "Defcon four without the whole place self-destructing?" Jean asked and the Professor nodded. "How long will we stay like that?"

           "I don't know, Jean, I don't know." He answered truthfully.

           ***

           "We need ta hurry." Rogue mumbled trying to open the lock of a locker at the airport. They had left their baggage in a locker at the airport. She groaned. "This stupid thing won't open!"

           "Let 'de great Remy see it." He stepped forward; he placed his bare fingertips on the spinner and charged it. The lock exploded. He smirked and dropped the remains. "What did I tell y'?"

           Rogue pulled out the baggage. "Very good, Sugah. Ya get a cookie—Jus' not now."

           "What 'bout milk?" He asked following her down the hall.

           ***

           And hours later, they finally arrived in Bayville.

           ***

           "Ah'm glad we left the car here." Rogue said walking up to the car. She looked at him. "Do ya have the keys, Remy?"

           "'De keys? I thought y' had 'em."

           Her face fell. "Yoah not serious."

           "Jus' kiddin'.." He took the keys out of his coats pocket. He opened the car doors for them both.

           "Not funny." She mumbled leaning her head against the cool window. "What are ya waitin' foh? Step on the gas an' go!"

           He started the car. 'Only a few mo' months.. only a few mo'..'

           ***

           "How are we gonna get past all of 'em?" Rogue asked staring at the pack of people. They had left the car up the street and left their baggage in it. "We need a distraction."

           "Go on ahead."

           "What!?"

           "I can distract 'em." He smiled at her.

           "Yeah right. Ah ain't leavin' ya."

           "Jus' go on ahead. Don' worry 'bout li'l 'ol Remy. He can fend fo' 'imself." He gave her a slight push. "Jus' go. I'll be right behind y'.. promise."

           "Fine." She hesitated then walked towards the side of the mansion and into it's wood-sy area. She heard a slight explosion but kept walking. It was night and the only light in the sky was the full moon. She looked behind her to see if Remy was behind her. He was. She kept walking. Suddenly, she banged into someone—hard.

           "Are you okay?" The familiar voice asked. Remy then was behind Rogue and helped her to her feet. Rogue's eyes went wide.

           "Scott?"
