Chapter 19
They arrived at the flat in the middle of the night. Remy had arrived first and was opening the door when Rogue and Lance arrived. Remy led the way into a small but tidy flat. It had a kitchen, bathroom, a living/dining room and two small bedrooms. Remy went into the kitchen and started cooking something quick and simple. Half an hour later when everyone had their fill of pasta Remy pulled some plans down from one of the shelves. He laid them across the cleared table. The maps displayed the entire Acolytes base. It showed and upper level which was the mansion. It then showed an underground level, which led off from the main house and into the forest behind. Remy quickly outlined his plan again showing where each individual would be and where he or she was supposed to go. They finished their planning and then decided to get some sleep. There were only two bedrooms so Remy let Rogue and Lance have one each. Rogue went into her room. It was small but clean. There was a wardrobe in one corner, a bed under a window and a dresser. She quickly unpacked her nightclothes and changed into them. She slipped between the sheets and lay down to sleep, but she couldn't. She fidgeted and tossed and turned but she couldn't sleep. She heard a thump from the room next door and a muffled curse and a tremor that shook the whole building. A few moments later the doorknob began to turn and the door opened.

Remy was restless. He was fidgeting. Rogue was in one of the bedrooms and he couldn't decide whether to go and see her or not. Would she be offended if he did, would she be offended if he didn't. He decided to go and see her. He got up from the couch and walked over to the door. He knocked gently. Then opened the door. He could see a mound in the bed, which he assumed was Rogue.
"Bonjour chere, Remy thought you might like some company." Said Remy as he pulled back the covers. He was horrified to see Lance staring up at him instead of Rogue. He jumped backwards, cursing and fell over causing a loud thump.
"Wrong room, Cajun." Lance growled, causing a tremor before rolling over to sleep. "Now be quiet I wanna sleep." He murmured softly. Remy picked himself up from the floor and quietly left the room. He straightened himself and then approached the other bedroom. He reached out and began to turn the doorknob. He pushed the door open gently making it squeak. He saw the mound in the bed and approached it. He saw Rogue sit up and reach over and turn the light on. Remy was momentarily blinded by the light. When he could see again he saw Rogue sitting up in bed.
"Dat was a cruel trick chere, swapping rooms with Rocky. A very cruel trick." He whispered while pouting. Rogue just smiled at her cunning.
"Ya didn't think Ah would make it that easy did ya swamp Rat?"
"You wound Remy, petite." He sighed dramatically. She moved over in the bed and patted the space. Remy needing no more encouragement went and sat next to her sliding between the sheets. Rogue switched of the lights and they were plunged into a darkness only broken by the full moon outside the window.
"Well, " Rogue murmured, "Ah'll just have to make it up to ya." She lay down and pulled Remy with her. Remys head was on the pillow with Rogues on his bare chest. Rogue trailed her hands over him tracing the contours of his body.
"Remy, I'm worried. Tell me we can do this." She whispered in the dark.
"We can do dis petite. Remy knows what he is doing." He murmured back kissing the top of her head.
"Remy, stay here all night?" Rogue asked sleepily.
"Oui Remy will stay. Now sleep little Roguey." He whispered. He felt Rogue fall asleep and her breathing become deep and even. He snuggled down and fell asleep as well.

Lance woke the next morning in a strange bed. As he awoke he remembered what had happened through the hectic last 24 hours. He got up and padded down to the bathroom. He showered and dressed then went to the kitchen where he found Rogue and Remy eating breakfast together. Rogue saw that Lance was out of the bathroom and tried to quickly dash in there before Remy but the quick moving thief beat her to it and she returned to her seat at the table. Lance grabbed the juice and some toast and sat down opposite her. He ate and he watched Rogue.
"What!?" asked Rogue as Lance sat there.
"Well I just never thought this would happen. I mean you and him. It's kinda like Romeo and Juliet. Two opposing teams, etc." he said to her.
"Ya actually know what Romeo and Juliet is?" Rogue asked with a small smile.
"Yeah I do. I'm not completely stupid." He snapped. "Why do you like him?"
"Well Ah could ask the same of ya. Why do ya like Kitty? Ah mean ya not messing her about are ya? Cos if ya are, ya got it comin to ya." Rogue asked turning the tables on Lance.
"I just do." Lance stuttered. "And I'm not messing her about, I really do like her. I mean I wouldn't' exactly be doing this if I didn't." he snapped. He sat there in silence for a moment eating his breakfast.
"Do you love him?" he asked Rogue cautiously.
"Yeah Ah do. Do ya love Kitty?" she retorted.
"Er.. Yeah I guess I do." He replied. Before Rogue could ask her next question they heard the bathroom door open and Remy emerge. Rogue quickly dived past him and shut the door taking the bathroom for the next hour. When she was ready it was time to get supplies for their rescue and then to get under way.

Thankyou to all for the support you have given me.
