Disclaimer: Okay, still don't own X-Men and I'm defiantly not making any money off of this so no one sue. You won't get nothing but a headache. Oh, but I do own Ebony. Yay me.
Authors Note: Okay guys 2 things. First off, sorry it took so long to get this up. Bad week. School is so hectic right now but I have a somewhat lighter load now that my test is out of the way and I finished up my homework so hopefully I'll get a couple of chapters up. Second, I know my German & French suck. I'm well aware and don't need to be told again or be given a lesson. Especially in German. If my teacher couldn't teach me in high school no one else is going to teach me now. Besides, I'm not writing this for complete and total accuracy, just fun. So don't go getting all anal retentive on me okay, and no one trust my translations or anything like that okay. Now that that's off of my chest, on to the story.
Authors Warning: Hehehe, fluff ahead. Nothing but FLUFF! Enjoy, cause I know I will.

Chapter 19: Midnight Encounters
Rogue sighed and flipped onto her back, glaring over at the clock on her nightstand. 2:46 am shined back at her in red numbers. 'Great, Ah ain't ever gonna git ta sleep,' she thought as her mind raced with the events of that day. 'At least Mamma's home.'
Rogue spared one more glace at the clock before rolling out of bed and tiptoeing over to the window. She grabbed her sweatshirt off of a chair and pulled it on over her tank top and hunter green pajama pants before grabbing her gloves, mostly to fight against the chill of the late night air. She opened the balcony doors, stepping out and shutting them swiftly behind her so not to wake her sleeping roommates.
Once on the balcony, Rogue stretched out her arms a bit before taking to the sky. Flying had become second nature to Rogue. It was one of the few things, besides Remy, that shut Carol up. Rogue closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of the cool night breeze though her hair and against her face. She sighed in contentment and opened her eyes, watching the night sky pass her by as she flew around the mansion's grounds.
After around 10 minutes of bliss Rogue noticed the slight smell of cigarette smoke, wafting up to her from the ground. She looked down towards the gazebo and noticed the pare of red glowing orbs that watched her every move. Even at this distance, she could see the smirk playing across his lips.
Rogue swooped down and landed gently next to Remy, suddenly glad she'd brought her gloves. "It's late sugah, watcha doin' up?" she watched as he leaned comfortably against the railing. She walked up next to him and perched herself cross legged in front of his penetrating gaze.
"Couldn't sleep mon chere," Remy replied smirking at her as he took a final drag from his cigarette before putting it out and standing straighter. "Remy thought he'd come out and enjoy de view." He walked up directly in front of her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Rogue smiled and rested her head against his chest, snaking her own arms around him. She felt him shiver slightly. "Cold?"
"Oui. Remy not be used to de cold weather," he replied snuggling closer to her, his trench coat wrapping around them both. "He be better now. Y' gonna tell Remy what has mon amore up in de sky dis late?"
Rogue snuggled closer and breathed in his rich smell. It reminded her of so many familiar things that it made her feel completely safe. She relished in that feeling a moment before she spoke. "Ah was just thinkin," she replied as she gazed up at him.
"About?" he asked, resting his chin on her head, her hair safely covering her skin.'
"A lot a things. Mamma bein' back. What she said today. Midterms, us…" Rogues voice trailed off as she ran her glove clad fingertips over his spine.
"Dat be a lot fer dis hour non?" Remy asked smiling and pulling away to look at her. He brought his own gloved finger up to her cheek and ran it gently over the soft skin. "Perhaps Remy can help make de load lighter?" He leaned in closer, their faces now millimeters apart.
"What are ya up ta Swamp Rat?" Rogue asked, becoming slightly nervous at how close he really was. She had always known it was dangerous to date him, or anyone for that matter, once her powers came into play. But Remy was always so careful, sometimes more for her sake than his own. But tonight, he was pushing it and she was terrified she'd hurt him. 'Don't you dare touch him! It's bad enough I've got to listen to him through your ears, don't you make me have to share your head with him too! Not anymore than I already have too,' Carol screamed at her. 'I've been quiet lately, so I sure as hell don't deserve that!'
Remy could tell Rogue was nervous, but he also noticed the sudden change in her eyes, that he was pretty sure didn't have anything to do with him. "Cherie? What is it?" He asked, pulling away slightly.
"Nothin', " Rogue replied. She closed her eyes for a moment and managed to shut Carol up behind her mental shield. "Jus' Carol bitchin' again. Ya made her nervous."
"She not de only one non?" Remy asked smirking as he resumed running his finger over her cheek, moving his other hand from her waist and down her hip, caressing it gently.
Rogue moaned slightly, aware that she was losing any kind of control she had over the situation very quickly. "What are ya up to Cajun?"
"Jus' tryin' ta clear mon chere's mind is all," Remy replied as his hand moved slowly to her thigh, taking his time. He'd never rushed her before and he wasn't about to now. He just wondered how far she'd let him take this. He watched as she closed her eyes, leaning her face into his palm, small noises escaping her throat every so often. Slowly his hand went for the center of her thighs.
Rogue's eyes shot open and she let out a small squeak before grabbing his hand and staring at him, eyes wide and full of fear. "Remy we can't," she stated staring at him in shock. "Ya know that…"
Remy's finger was quickly on her lips, silencing her as he looked at her with concern in his eyes. "Easy chere. Remy stop. No one make y' do nothin'." The hand on her leg quickly went to the small of her back as he began to rub it gently, trying to sooth her. He waited a beat for her to calm down before he continued. "Remy know de risks mon chere. He know how to be careful."
"Damnit Cajun!" Rogue stated jumping off the railing and away from his arms. "There is no careful wit this," she started, waving her hands around to emphasize her point. "Ah ain't gonna hurt no one else. We can't go farther den we already are! This is it! And if ya want more, then Ah guess we should end it here," Rogue fought the urge to cry as she turned to leave the gazebo when a strong hand caught her wrist and spun her around. She found herself staring into Remy's eyes. She was the only one who could stare down the demon. They were filled with emotions that only she could read, and for the first time, she saw fear in them which scared her more than she'd liked.
"Non chere. Y' ain't walkin' away from dis thief lahke dat! Ah love ya and Ah ain't about ta lose y' now," Remy emphasized his own point by dropping the third person. He pulling her near to him and looked deeply into her emerald eyes. "Y' be dis thief's chance at heaven. Ah don't know how Ah deserve it, but someone up dere think Ah do." Remy's voice was filled with emotion as he spoke, his gaze never leaving hers.
"No Rem's, ya deserve bettah, someone who can…" Rogue began but was quickly cut off when Remy pulled her into a hug.
"Y' got dat backwards mon amore," he whispered as they stood there, holding each other. Finally Remy pulled away and looked down at her and tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Remy sorry he rushed y'."
"No, it jus' surprised meh is all," Rogue looked away from him, finding her gloves extremely interesting. She knew Remy was a lot of things and that a virgin was not one of them and that scared her even more. "Ah don't wanna hurt ya. And Ah don't wanna git hurt either," she continued, pulling at her fingers a bit.
"Remy never hurt y' Rogue," Remy said solemnly, placing his fingers under her chin and forcing her to look at him. He stared at her for a moment. It amazed him how she was the only woman to ever take his breath away. "Remy has a surprise for y' so close y' eyes," he continued smiling. He knew she knew something about his past and he was pretty sure he knew what parts she was thinking about right now. They'd have to have a long talk later about anything sex related later. But it was way to late for that now, and besides, he really wanted her to have his surprise.
Rogue raised an eyebrow before doing as asked. "What are ya up to now Swamp Rat?" she asked.
"Jus' trust me Cherie," he replied as he pulled the silk hanker chief out of his pocket.
She was about to reply when suddenly she felt a cloth being draped over her lips. She stood there in shock until she felt Remy's lips descend on her own. She gasped slightly, waiting for the pull of memories and power to flow into her and soon found that nothing was happening. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth she threw her arms around his neck, pulling her to him as she kissed him back, with all the passion and love in her heart. The kiss quickly deepened as their tongues met against the thin barrier.
Remy moaned slightly as he pulled her nearer to him, congratulating himself on his creativity. He ran his hands slowly down her sides to her hips and down to her thighs as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him nearer, begging him for more. Remy was happy to comply as he ran his hands around her thighs and lifted her up. Rogue wrapped her legs around his waist and let out a small moan as she ran her hands over his shoulders.
After a few minutes they reluctantly separated, needing air. Rogue panted slightly as she moved the silk cloth from her face and gazed at it. "When'd ya think of this Swamp Rat?" she asked between breaths.
"Couple of days ago. But Remy couldn't show y' in front of y' pere," Remy winked at her as he held her easily against him, having caught his own breath. "He take it mon chere is pleased wit his creativity, non?"
"Oui," Rogue whispered as she leaned her head against his shoulder, running her fingers over his shoulder. "Ah wish we could stay lahke this forever." She breathed as she looked over at the house though the trees.
"Who says we can't?"
Rogue rose her head and looked into his eyes. "Too many responsibilities sugah. That, and daddy'd kill ya," she yawned and settled her head against him again. "Ah'm so tired."
"Come den chere, and y' prince will carry ya to bed," Remy smirked at her letting go of her legs to pick her up differently.
"Ah can fly up there sugah," Rogue replied as she adjusted in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck again and nestling against him.
Remy smirked as her as he carried her towards the house. After a few moments she was breathing evenly, sleeping silently against his chest. He crept into the house with the skill of the thief he was raised to be, making it up to her bedroom and over to her bed without anyone noticing him. He eased her gently onto the mattress and pulled the covers up around her. "Sleep well mon amore," he whispered, running his finger across her temple and down her cheek, kissing her hair before sneaking back out of the room smiling to himself.
"Do you always sneak out of my daughters room at 4 in the morning?" Meranda asked as she leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest as she smiled at him.
Remy jumped a bit, surprised he hadn't sensed her there before, but quickly recovered. "Mon chere couldn't sleep. Remy jus' be lookin' after her."
"Sure ya are," Meranda replied pushing off of the wall and walking over to him. "Just so you know, I didn't come all this way and put myself on the FBI's most wanted list just to watch my baby get hurt. Get it?"
"Oui," Remy replied meeting her gaze as they stood whispering in the middle of the hall.
"Good," Meranda replied as she started back towards her room. "Just don't let Logan catch ya doin' that. He's a lot less understanding when it comes to his baby girl."
Remy let out the breath he was holding and walked back to his room, making sure the hanker chief was safely in his pocket for next time.
Author's Note: Okay, just a little bit of fluff for us all and I know the whole silk hanker chief is a little over done but I couldn't think of anything else. I know I loved it. I'm having a little bit of trouble on where to go next but I think being beaten with a certain mallet of inspiration. Thanks Kendarath, I really appreciate it. Now to the rest of the shout outs.
AngieX ~ The true test of Logan. Can he survive Ororo, Rogue and now Meranda too? I don't think his claws are going to be able to get him out of this one. Oh well, thanks as always for the review. I'm glad I was able to explain some stuff. But I don't think she's too powerful, but then I think I'm the wrong one to ask. Don't worry, I don't plan on making her this all powerful being that thinks no one can defeat her or try to take over the world. I want her to be a more down to earth type that just happens to have all these powers because the scientists were evil. And now I'm ranting and I'm sure you are tired of reading it so I'll stop now. Thanks again.
Rogue77 ~ I love hearing you say that! Thanks for your support. As soon as I get enough time I'll put it up and the back story that I wrote to their relationship. It's just Logan and Meranda but it is completed. Ororo and Meranda are supposed to be Pagan yes. It's just a minor part of the story though that gives them more in common and because Meranda's character was already Pagan in my other story. Gives her a bit more depth and character. Don't worry. I plan on writing more of the brotherhood in and since a certain Toad is in the brotherhood, and since he has a cheerleader, I'm sure it'll come up again. Thanks as always for the review.
Mercury Dream ~ As always you're just too sweet! I started your new fic btw, and I was kinda skeptical at first but by the end of the first chapter I was in love as always. I had never thought of Rogue and Remy having each others powers but you're making it work. I haven't checked it yet today but I can't wait to read more. I was gonna post a review for it but the review box was giving me issues. Anyway, I'll try to get my stories up soon. One's finished and one I kinda hit a block on which hopefully, putting it up and getting some reviews, will help me get around. I'm still not sure whose gonna end up with who in that relationship but I'm just keeping my options open right now. Thanks again.
Invader ZaiFae ~ Glad you liked. Hopefully you liked this one as well. And I'm glad you like Meranda. I like her too and making her Rogue's mother was just a last minute thought for me, cause I knew someone had to be. And then I missed writing for her like in my other stories so here she is. Well, glad you liked once again and can't wait to hear what you thought of this chapter.
Dark Dragon Fire Demon ~ yes it is. Well, I'm just glad I could clear it up for everyone. Now, it's your turn. Sorry it took so long for me to get this up but I hope it was worth the wait. Hopefully the next one will be up faster, but I'm not promising anything cause I'd hate to make myself a liar.
Coldfiredragon ~ Incredible huh? Yay! ::happy dance:: Remy and Rogue are my favorites too. They're just too cute. Now I just wish I could find a guy as sweet as I've written Remy. Alas though, I don't know if one exists in this town. Well hope you liked this chapter. Let me know. Ishandahalf ~ I know I don't even have to ask if you liked this one. Just how much? I had went too long without fluff in my opinion and really, my friend Lisa suggested it and I'm really glad she did. Hope you liked a lot.
Denial ~ Thank you. I didn't want them fighting over him like a couple of teenagers. There's enough of those in this story already and I'm thinking about adding some of the new recruits as well. ( I just love Berserker and I don't know why.) So yeah, nuf hormones going wild, we don't need more. As always, thanks for the review.
Cool-chick-rae ~ I thought I'd just lighten it up a bit. Rogue's life has so much angst that she really didn't need more, but I wanted a bit of suspense y'know? I don't know if I achieved it, but it was worth a try. And I was like half asleep when I wrote it. Thanks for the review.
Shadowkeepre ~ sorry this update took longer than usual. I hate when that happens but it couldn't be helped. I had an anatomy exam and I have a psychology one coming up too next week. But I have till Monday for that one. And I still like your idea of the three of them but don't know if I could keep them level headed enough to share. Well hope you liked this chapter.
Authors Note: And now my pretties, review! Review! Just kidding. Hoped it was worth the wait y'all. Try to get more up this week. Chow.
Authors Note: Okay guys 2 things. First off, sorry it took so long to get this up. Bad week. School is so hectic right now but I have a somewhat lighter load now that my test is out of the way and I finished up my homework so hopefully I'll get a couple of chapters up.

If my teacher couldn't teach me in high school no one else is going to teach me now. Besides, I'm not writing this for complete and total accuracy, just fun. So don't go getting all anal retentive on me okay, and no one trust my translations or anything like that okay. Now that that's off of my chest, on to the story.

I had went too long without fluff in my opinion and really, my friend Lisa suggested it and I'm really glad she did. Hope you liked a lot.
Denial ~ Thank you. I didn't want them fighting over him like a couple of teenagers. There's enough of those in this story already and I'm thinking about adding some of the new recruits as well. ( I just love Berserker and I don't know why.) So yeah, nuf hormones going wild, we don't need more. As always, thanks for the review.
Cool-chick-rae ~ I thought I'd just lighten it up a bit. Rogue's life has so much angst that she really didn't need more, but I wanted a bit of suspense y'know? I don't know if I achieved it, but it was worth a try. And I was like half asleep when I wrote it. Thanks for the review.
Shadowkeepre ~ sorry this update took longer than usual. I hate when that happens but it couldn't be helped. I had an anatomy exam and I have a psychology one coming up too next week. But I have till Monday for that one. And I still like your idea of the three of them but don't know if I could keep them level headed enough to share. Well hope you liked this chapter.
Authors Note: And now my pretties, review! Review! Just kidding. Hoped it was worth the wait y'all. Try to get more up this week. Chow.
