The X-Jet lowered itself on to the ground. The doors flew open as Jean, Scott, Kurt and Kitty came rushing out. But much to their surprise, Gambit and Rogue were standing a little ways away from the front doors of the castle along with Tabitha and Pyro. Kurt ported over to them in surprise.

"Guys…vhat happened?"

Gambit looked down at Rogue and smiled, "It's ahright Kurt. Ah think Mesmero has been taken care of." And with that him and Rogue headed back to the X-Jet to go home. Tabitha, Pyro and Kurt followed.

"Remy," Rogue asked, "Why didn't you kill him?"

"You were right, I didn't have to. And plus, if I did we wouldn't have gotten a cure for you." Gambit looked down at her and smiled, "For you only, Rogue. For you only."

The End -

Forward:

Pyro let out a sigh and lay back on his bed. He closed his eyes in concentration but didn't get far courtesy of a knock at his door.

"Come in." He yelled, not moving from his spot.

Tabitha crept in and sat down next to him, "Hey John."

He sat up and looked over at her, his fiery orange hair fell to the side of his face, "'i."

"Are you okay?" She asked carefully.

"Yea, why wouldn't Ah be?" Pyro sighed, "Okay, so Ah'm not. It's jus, ever since Ah saw 'er Ah can't stop thinking 'bout 'er."

"Ivy?"

Pyro nodded slowly.

A young girl stood just outside the Institute, contemplating whether or not to go in. Her short mahogany fell loosely down her neck. She looked up at the large building with her intense jade eyes one last time as she turned away solemnly.

Yes that is the end. I usually don't write sequels cause I've got several more stories I'd like to write but maybe in the future you'll see a sequel to this. And just in case you didn't know...'mw' means meanwhile. Anyhoo…please review.
