Rogue assumed that getting onto a train with two sick mutants would not be without incident. She expected to have to explain accidently melted door handles, or why she was suddenly watching over quadruplets (luckily the professor had bought extra tickets for this occasion).
However, she wasn't expecting to have to practically carry Amara and Jamie onto the train.
She expected that once they had settled into their private compartment she would have to threaten the two into silence.
However, as soon as Jamie had arranged a blanket that Rogue threw at him he feel into an exhausted sleep. Once Amara had taken some medicine Rogue threw at her she had joined him in dreamland.
While they both slept they actually looked kind of sweet, Rogue thought to herself. Jamie had curled into an adorable little ball, snoring lightly. Amara rester her head on her hands, her hair drifting into her eyes, she shivered slightly.
Rogue's sharp eyes noticed the shiver and her own skin told her that it was pretty cold. She carefully got up and covered Amara with a blanket, she didn't want the girl to wake up, after all, the Rogue doesn't tuck people in.
She started to pick up her now dried copy of the Sun Also Rises, when she glimped a shadow fly quickly across the window into the next compartment.
Her suspicious nature overwhelmed her need to relax and she headed toward the door.
She slowly opened it, and as soon as the barrier was moved a sound other then Jamie's snoring reached her ears.
The shuffling of cards.
In the corned of the nearly deserted area Rogue glimpsed the flashing of red and black as the cards were shuffled back and forth. She raised her eyes slightly and she saw another set of red and black staring up at her.
"Aww, cherie, it's jus' like ole times, riden' in a train together."
"Damn it swamp rat, do ya have to be everywhere Ah go?"
"Now, now Remy knows ya ain't angry at 'im, jus' look how nice the Rogue was bein ta the petites, keepin' em all nice and warm."
"Don't ya dare tell anyone Cajun." Rogue became slightly worried that someone had seen her slight display of affection, she didn't want someone to see that side of her.
Remy's face slowly began to lapse into its more natural smirk.
"Ohh Remy sense blackmail..."
"Don't ya dare even think about it Gumbo!"
Ignoring Rogue's obvious anger and words Remy stood up and began to pace the aisle, as if in deep thought, he put his hand and stroked the stubble of his chin, actually looking quite sexy.
"No, Remy won' make mon cherie do somethin' she don' wanna do, yp' better then dat an' Remy a gentlemen, you jus' member that if you need anyting at all down in N'Awlins, the city can be dangerous ya know, and Remy don' want his cherie to be hurt at all." Remy remembered the last time her had manipulated her. He didn't want to invoke that wrath any more, and he meant what he said, she was better then the girls he usually went after, she didn't deserve to be used and manipulated. He wanted her to come to him and want him, he wanted it, and he didn't know why.
"Promise yo' member dat cherie?"
Although she was still angry, Rogue sensed his good intentions, and was rather baffled that he had actually shown genuine concern for her well being, so she let the anger slide.
"Ah'll keep it in mind, swamp rat."
With that said, she turned back to go check on Amara and Jamie, before she closed the door, Remy told her one more thing.
"An you know, you don't have ta be embarrassed ta care about somethin', it's natural ta love."
As she closed the door Rogue let his wise words sink in a little bit, and asked herself a very personal question.
Maybe the Rogue could love?
