CHAPTER 3

In Cajun arms

"Alright that's enough, put meh down." Rogue persisted.

"Non." He answered simply. They were still sitting in the Lazy boy, only Remy had gotten up and put Kitty in his bed sense Rogue was no longer using it.

"Why not?" She asked, irritated. She was really getting annoyed with this guy but she was still way too weak to do anything about it.

"Cause if Remy puts ya down den he won' be holdin ya, an' he wants ta hold ya, so he aint gonna put ya down." He told her.

"Ah give up." She said, snatching the remote from his hand.

"Ah'm changing the channel. Tha only thing worse then watchin 'Bay Watch' is watchin it in French." She said, switching the station.

She clicked through most of them, which talked about the fire and riots at her school the previous day. She'd been asleep for a long time.

"Suit yo'self chere." He said, watching her intently.

"Will ya stop starin at meh. Ah can see yer reflection in tha mirror." She said, without turning around.

He smirked at her and make sure she saw him grinning in the mirror. "Dat be easier said den done. Remy don' tink he can take his eyes off ya chere." He told her.

"Oh Lord, do ya actually practice these lines or do they just come naturally with that big head o' yours?" She asked sarcastically.

"Does it really matta chere?" He asked in response.

She saw a video shot of the front of the Institute and her eyes shot wide open.

"Aw hell!" She exclaimed.

"What?" He asked, puzzled at her random cursing.

"Ah gotta call tha institute. They're gonna be so pissed if they find out I've been safe and didn't call to tell em." She explained, scanning the room for a phone.

"Sorry chere. Ya can' do dat." He told her.

"Why not? Ah need ta call home an' Ah need ta do it now!" She persisted.

"Calm down mon chere. Ya can' do dat cause Remy don' got a phone." He answered.

"Ya'll aint got a phone?" She asked, surprised and a bit skeptically. His Apartment was set up very classy with some expensive and cultural furniture. so why didn't he have a phone?

"Why would Remy need one? De only one who needs ta reach him is de boss man an' he eider beeps Remy or sends his lil runt son ova." He explained.

"Oh.wait! Pietro!? Ya mean ta tell meh that Pietro could just walk.Ah mean run in here at any time without notice?" She asked.

"Pretty much. Dat boy not too fond o' knockin or waitin ta be let in."

"That's it. We're outta here." She said, trying to get out of his embrace and stand up.

"Hold on now. What be de problem now?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her, tighter.

"What ya just said. Ya friend Pietro, incase ya haven't noticed, is a total asshole and he'll never let meh forget it if he sees me like this." She explained.

"Not to mention tha fact that he and Kitty.well lets just say that Pietro aint exactly Kitty's favorite person at the moment.or eva. They don't like each otha much. Kitty doesn't let people get ta her usually.Pietro's got a way of gettin under her skin. Really, really deep under her skin." She explained.

"Well den we jus' gotta hope dat de boys got betta tings ta do den botha Remy today." He said, readjusting her in his arms.

"Ah still gotta call the Professa somehow." She told him.

Just then the power went out. The entire neighborhood had a blackout.

"Looks like ya aint gonna be doin nuttin requirin' electricity fo' a while." He said, referring to the fact that the power was out and she couldn't leave the apartment either way.

"Ah really don't like you." She said, scowling at him.

"Remy be workin on dat." He told her, smirking.

Rogue was really tired and didn't notice when she started to fall asleep in Remy's arms. She used his warm chest as a pillow and began to drift away.

A gust of wind blew through the room, and Remy turned toward the window to see that it was closed.

"Ya know yo' timins impeccable Quick Silva." Remy said, without turning around.

Pietro had skipped saying hello to the other mutant and went straight for the fridge. "Oh Pizza!' Pietro exclaimed, taking out a box and stuffing it's contents into the microwave.

"Powas out. Dat aint gonna work." Remy told him.

The silver haired mutant had yet to notice that Rogue was fast asleep in Remy's arms. She wasn't usually this sound a sleeper but she had worn herself out with trying to walk and was still weak from the previous events.

"Aw man. No problem, be back in a flash. Literally." Pietro said, leaving the room at the speed of light and returning with a confused Pyro.

"Hey! I was hittin on a Sheila in the coffee house below. Do you mind?" Pyro asked, irritated.

"Forget it. We have cold pizza. Make it hot pizza." Pietro told him, pointing to the box.

"Alright! Pizza night at the Cajun's place. Why didn't you say so mate?" Pyro asked, walking over to the box and taking out his lighter.

"Hey careful in de kitchen homme." Remy said, knowing how John got when it came to fire.

"Hey Remy how many pieces do you." Pietro trailed off when he finally looked at Remy. His jaw dropped and his eyes widened when he saw his X-man sleeping in the arms of the Cajun.

"What the hell is she doing here?" He asked, zooming over and getting a better look to make sure it was in fact Rogue.

"You would have had to knock her out to get her in that position." Pietro commented, looking around for a bat or something of the sort.

"Remy did no such ting. De belle fell asleep dis way jus' a few minutes ago." Remy informed him.

"You mean like willingly? No way."

"Way. An' please keep ya voice down. De otta petite be asleep in mon bedroom." Remy said, hushing the speed demon.

"Other? You mean you have more? No wonder you wanted an apartment away from the base on your days off." John piped in, handing the two of them each a piece of now hot, and a little singed pizza.

"Oui deres anotta fille in dere, Non, dat aint why Remy wanted a place o' his own an' please John keep ya voice down." Remy told him.

"Sorry, sorry. Wait'll Mags hears about this. Gambit's watchin over an X- girl." John said, starting to laugh.

"Make that two X-girls." Pietro corrected him, closing the door to Remy's room.

"I can't believe you've got them here. Xavier's even contacted my father to see if he's seen or heard from either of them and here you are having a freaking slumber party." Pietro said, trying to contain his laughter and show a little anger. John didn't try to contain his own laughter; he just let it all out.

"Well it aint like Remy planned on it. Dey were knocked out an' de mobs were comin so."

"So you decided to play the Knight in shining armor and rescue them from a cruel and unfair death." Pietro said, in a mockingly emotional and dramatic voice.

"Remy can't help dat he was raised dat way."

"Yeah okay, but still, you know my dad is going to blow a ghasket when he finds out." Pietro said, getting back to the matter at hand.

"You mean if. If yo' pere fins' out." Remy corrected him.

"And what's in it for us?" John and Pietro questioned.

"Hmm.Fo' Pietro, Remy won' mention to da boss dat he saw his only son out wit four differen' filles.human filles de past week an' Remy'll buy a six pack o' lightas fo' you John." He replied.

"John's eyes lit up like the fire he manipulated and agreed. "I'll do everything in my power to help mate." He said, taking a bite of his burnt pizza.

"Hey! How come he gets something out of this and I get blackmail?" Pietro questioned, sulking because he knew he'd been caught.

"Cause Remy don' got nuttin on Pyro.yet." Pyro gulped a little at the emphisis on the word 'yet'.

"Sides, what is it you'd wan'? Yo' pere gets ya everyting ya would possibly wan' or need non?" Remy added.

"Well.not everything. I mean he does mostly.just not when it comes to girls. I mean there are a whole bunch of hot ones out there just waiting for me, but their human." He explained.

"What about one of the X-geeks?" John suggested.

"What? Have you melted your brain or something? First of all that's worst then human girls to my father and second, with girls I use em, and loose em. And the X-girls have powers that could hurt if motivated." He added.

"The two boys shuttered in understanding.

"Plus the X-geeks are all goody-goods and there's not even that many of them. Except Rogue I mean." Pietro said, pointing toward the sleeping girl.

"Hey, hands off 'use em' an' loose em' boy. Dis ones Remy's." He said firmly.

"Whoa hey, cool it Cajun! Roguey's nice and all but she's more sister then actual girlfriend.

"Thank God." Rogue said, opening her eyes.

Remy looked down at her, a little shocked that she was awake.

"How long you been awake chere?" He asked, putting his chin on her head.

"Sense you blackmailed Pietro.an' Ah aint yers by the way Cajun." She told him.

He frowned for a minute but shook it off, seeing that he was being brushed off my a girl two years younger then him in front of his teammates.

The other two laughed at the scene until Rogue glared at them and they got very quiet.

She rolled over on Remy and off the chair, planting herself on the couch and away from Gambit.

John sat on the back of the couch and looked down at her.

She was lying down so she was facing him.

"Is there a reason ya'll are starin at me?" She asked, a little annoyed.

"No, just tryin to figure out what kind of a Shiela Remy's picked himself out this time." John replied, cocking his head a bit.

Rogue scowled at him. She would have drained the moron if she weren't so damn tired. She could barely lift her head up. She shouldn't have gotten up off Remy but she didn't want the others getting the wrong idea.

"Well, aint ya gonna answer Sheila?" John asked.

"Shiela?"

John looked down at the girl and found her fast asleep yet again.

"Man, they must have really done a number on her." Peitro commented.

"You shoulda seen de otta fille's condition when she firs' got here." Remy pointed out.

"Really?" Pietro asked.

"Oui. She got de wors' o' it. Dey knocked her out an' tried ta burn her in a fire." He said, looking toward Pyro as if telling him not to get any ideas.

"Now den.pass Remy some o' dat pizza." He said, leaning over the table and grabbing a beer.

Okay peeps that was it! How'd ya'll like it?

Okay I am soooooooo intending on replying the reviews but I cant do it that often or as much because of school.

Don't worry though. There's a chapter about this length being posted once a week. My computer has a bug or something so I cant log on the net but fear not, fore I am taking a class where I get to use a computer and the internet so At least one chapter a week.

I will say that I'm sooooooooooooooo sorry but I'm almost positive that I'm gonna go with a Kietro pairing.

For you Kurtty fans I can assure you that there are lots and lots of Kurtty fics. If you cant find any then just go to FIND and type Kurrty in the Summary bar.

Piotr fans there aren't as many of those pairings as I'd like either but I can offer you the other fic I'm working on called "Petite Souer" that has Kiotr pairing among other relationships.

Kyro peeps I'm sorry. Your right, there aren't very many Kyro fics and Pyro is a hilarious, yet some what insane character. He's very fun but I don't see him with Kitty in this fic. To tell you truth I may not even go through with the Kietro-ness. It all depends on my reviewers and the fics I read with Kietro in it. That's how I get my inspiration.

Most likely I'll wait until next week but it all depends on the reviews that I get.

Later days! -AngieX
