Chapter Five
Remy sat at the dinner table, while the X-Men talked solemnly about Rogue's death. Remy was deep in thought, only catching a bit of what they were saying.
"I, like, cannot believe she's gone! I mean it was like only yesterday when we were arguing about me needing to listen to my Justin Timberlake!" Kitty exclaimed solemnly, tears threatening to fall. Kurt gulped and nodded.
"Yah, she vas my only family, and now, she is gone," he added; letting a single tear fall, although his soft, blue fur hid it.
Remy moved the mashed potatoes around on his plate. If anyone, he was hurting more than anyone at losing Rogue. He had spent months convincing her to give him a chance, but she had resisted his charm. In different circumstance, Remy could have smiled at the memory. But he was only distressed.
Flashback
"Aw, please chere! Give dis swamp-rat a chance! You'll learn t' love me. T'iefs honour!" Remy whined, giving a mock salute. Rogue raised her beautiful emerald eyes from the horror book she was holding called, 'Nobody True' and idly looked at the whining mess.
"Thief's honour? That's the first ah've heard of it," she commented, swinging her legs of the window seat. Remy went down onto his knees and looked pleadingly at her.
"Come on, chere! Trust me on dis!" he pleaded. Rogue looked down at him, raising an eyebrow then stood up and started to walk away.
"Trust yah on the thief's honour or the givin' yah a chance?" she teased, unknowing to him.
Remy thought for a minute. He then stood up and walked over to where she was standing, with her arms firmly crossed.
"Whatever suits you, cherie," he muttered, his style changing from whiny to sexy. Rogue blushed lightly but her layers of make-up hid it.
She stepped away from him and made for the door. She turned to him on her way out and glared before making a nasty comment.
"Go shag a pole, Cajun,"
End of Flashback
Remy sighed deeply. Logan, who just happened to be sitting next to him, heard it.
"Listen here, Gumbo. Rogue ain't dead," he grumbled, low so only Remy could hear him. Remy dropped his fork and looked at him.
"Que!!!???" he hissed. Logan made warning gestures (including the use of his dangerous claws) and Remy sunk in his chair, depressed.
"I can feel it, Cajun. And I think that Chuck and Jean can sense it as well," he continued quietly. Remy snuck quick glances at Jean and the Professor and saw that they didn't look quite as gloomy and solemn as everyone else did.
"How come yo' sense it?" Remy questioned, his voice quiet. Inside, a flame of hope was beginning to awaken.
"That's none of yr' business, Gumbo," Logan ended the conversation by giving him a cold glare.
Remy felt slightly alive again. If Logan felt that Rogue was alive and he chose to tell him, then there was still some hope. Even if it was just a little, it was still there. His Rogue might be out there other somewhere, lost and betrayed. She could be feeling pain anytime, while he was sitting here amidst the warmth and comfort of the Institute. She could be anywhere.
Remy straightened up, excused himself and went into his bedroom.
He lay on the bed, staring at a picture. It was of him and Rogue. He had his arms wrapped around her from behind and was resting his chin on her mesh-covered shoulder. Both were smiling at each other. There was a light in Rogue's eyes that he hadn't seen when he joined the X-Men.
Suddenly, Remy felt an unbearable, emotional pain tug at his heart and all of a sudden, he knew. Rogue was hurt and in trouble. But not dead. It was then that he knew, for sure. Rogue was alive.
A/N: Hiya! I know the end bit is a bit confusing but all will be explained in later chapters. A special thanx to ishandahalf (my first reviewer) for his/her review. I will try to update faster coz' I'll be putting some of my poems up as well. They will be called: Don't care; Don't need; I'm not listening. They will be in a one-story-style: And the other is sad as well as a bit funny, called Gimme trouble. So, anyway, enjoy the rest of the story to come! Bye!
(P.S. Don't forget to review!!!! IT WILL MAKE ME A VERY HAPPY TEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx!!!)
