Chapter Fourteen
Rogue growled and pounded the wall with her fists, drawing blood on her knuckles, not that she cared.
"Rogue, stop! You'll hurt yourself!" Jose called from the far corner, huddling into herself. The big man had decided to leave the 'filthy muties' alone for the day. Rogue just pounded harder, feeling the pain but ignoring it.
"Ah don't care! Ah want out of this stupid, goddamn, good-for-nothin' hellhole!" she screamed, ripping the skin off her hands. Jose stood up just as an idea to stop Rogue, came to her.
"Rogue, stop! What would Remy think?" she said hesitantly and a breath of relief escaped her parched lips as Rogue froze.
"What...who...?" Rogue stuttered, angry at herself for not knowing why one name made her brain freeze and her breathing quicken. Jose sighed.
"Who is he?" she asked, sitting down again. Rogue slid down the wall, giving up.
"I don't know!" she exclaimed, her hands in her messy and quite dirty hair. Jose frowned.
"You scream his name every night when you're asleep. How can you not know who he is?" she said, confused. Rogue sighed harshly.
"Ah dream 'bout him an' I know who he is in the dream but when ah wake up ah have know idea who he is! All ah remember is a pair glowing red eyes and a trench-coat!" she explained, tired. Jose's eyes widened.
"Do you remember what kind of hair he has?" she asked quickly. Rogue looked at her.
"Yah. It was messy and tangled, quite long and dark-brown. A bit lighter than mah own hair," she explained, though she had no idea why Jose was asking her such a stupid question. Suddenly, Jose jumped up and started to jump up and down repeatedly, squealing. Rogue looked at her, eyebrow raised.
"Where's thah party?" she asked sarcastically. Jose grinned.
"WE'RE SAVED!!!" she yelled and began doing a talented little dance. Rogue coughed loudly.
"Ahem ahem! What are yah on 'bout, sugah?" she asked curiously. Jose shook her head impatiently.
"That guy, Remy, I saw him!" she exclaimed, sashaying and bowing to an invisible person. Rogue shook her head at the hyperactive ten year old.
"Ah think thah lack of fresh air an' food has made yah delirious, sugah," she said. Jose sighed angrily.
"I am not delirious! I'm serious! I saw Remy! That big dude was trying to get info' from me and when I shook my head, they twisted my head to the far side and I saw a pair of legs dangling from the window!" she suddenly giggled at the memory. Rogue frowned at the girl and growled, signalling for her to continue.
"Yeah and like I was just staring at the person while the big man was getting some stuff ready. The rest of him came down and I saw that he was wearing a white tee, tight black jeans, and a trench coat. He had like a big stick in one hand and playing cards in the other. And his eyes!" Jose sighed, placed a hand over her heart, and collapsed on the mattress. Rogue watched her and was suddenly invaded by a memory.
Flashback
"Come on Rogue! Professor Xavier says that we have to all go downstairs and meet the new recruit," Jean appeared in the doorway as Rogue opened her closed eyes. She growled.
"Do ah have tah? It's only goin' to beh anothah one of them, 'Hi, I'm Miss Priss, and welcome tah thah local hellhole for mutants'" Rogue said in a sarcastic voice. Jean flipped her red hair behind her.
"Really, Rogue. That is not the kind of attitude you should have," she told off the Goth. Rogue glared at her.
"Who thah hell do yah think yah are, telling meh what ah should an' shouldn' have! Just stay away from meh, Miss Priss or ah'll accidentally let the hand slip!" she threatened. Jean flipped the comment off.
"Whatever, Rogue. Just make you are down stairs in five minutes," she said before leaving a pissed off Rogue behind.
Fifteen minutes later, Rogue smiled and left the room to 'greet' the new recruit. As soon as she entered, all pairs of eyes were on her.
"Thank you for joining us, Rogue," Professor said tightly, with an 'I am not amused' look on his face. Rogue smiled sheepishly, faking being sorry.
"Sorry, Professor," she apologized. "Not!" she added to herself.
"Well, Rogue. This is our new recruit. Gambit, also known as Remy Lebeau," Professor introduced and Rogue got the chance to properly look at the new guy in the room.
"Man, he's hot!" Rogue thought and then scolded herself for thinking such a thing. But he was hot. She'd give him that. He was wearing a tight blue tee shirt and tight black jeans under a long brown trench coat. He also had messy brown hair and sunglasses covered his eyes. He smiled and took Rogue's gloved hand.
"Bonjour, cherie," he purred, guiding her hand to his perfect lips. But before her hand reached, Rogue yanked it away and wiped it at the back of her trousers.
"Ah lahke tah keep mah hands away from Cajun slime, if yah don't mahnd," she glared at him. Remy smirked and removed his sunglasses and Rogue had to gasp. His eyes were beautiful. Red-on-black. Rogue shook her head to clear her mind and left the room, followed by Kitty and Jubilee.
As soon as she entered her and Kitty's room, she flopped on her bed and opened the novel she had bought yesterday, 'Nobody True' and began reading while unconsciously listening to what Kitty and Jubilee were talking about. It didn't take a super genius to figure out.
"Oh, Remy LeBeau!" Kitty gasped and sighed. Jubilee raised an eyebrow at her.
"What happened to, 'Oh, Lance Alvers'?" she commented, her black eyes glinting. Kitty sighed again.
"I know! I can't, like, handle all these good-looking boys, sorry, men around me!" she complained, sliding against the wall.
"O'h and those eyes!" Jubilee gushed, hand over her heart as she collapsed onto the bed.
End of Flashback
Rogue jerked as the flashback ended and Jose was still lying across the mattress.
"It must have not been as long as I thought," she thought mildly. Jose sat up.
"They were red on black," she continued, oblivious to Rogue's sudden zoning out. "He smiled at me!" she gushed. Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"So?" she asked, back to her sarcastic self. Jose sighed.
"So? Well, he smiled at me and winked! Before sneaking past the evil men and running out the room,"
Rogue sat up immediately.
"You mean he could be in this building raght now?" she asked. Jose thought for a second and then nodded.
"Oh mah god!" Rogue gasped as she suddenly saw a pair of red eyes staring directly at her from the behind the cell door.
