Apologies to you all for the length of time its been. No excuses im afraid, no writers block (in fact I was writing parts that come much later on, I haven't been working much I haven't been clubbing (well actually I have a bit since it was my birthday and all) I went shopping with friends and dancing but nothing much else. Im sorry im a terrible person. Actually I was composing a piece of music that fit with the bit I wrote that goes on much later on, which adds on nicely with another piece I composed. Harp and string orchestra….its quite depressing but so is what I was writing so that that then isn't it! lol! Anyway here's to another chapter.

EvilWhiteRaven – Well im glad you enjoyed Scott getting hurt, have to say it twas much fun! But im afraid that Logan will be kept in the dark entirely (until Scott cant keep his mouth shut – that's gonna be fun) and none of em no bout the engagement yet………yet is the operative word there! hehehe! Anyway thanks so much for the review! Golden star for you!

DemonRogue13- Why thanks! I wouldn't say great but it was……something. lol! And yes Scott defiantly got what he deserved! Haha! Anyway I hope you like this chapter and don't worry there will be much more Romy goodness to come soon! A Golden star for you!


"Rogue! By the Goddess it's been a long time"

Logan looked up to where Ororo was looking to have Rogue fling her arms around him in a hug. Smiling at having Rogue back again Logan hugged her back.

"Long time no see Stripes, how you been?"

Rogue pulled back from their hug smiling brightly, which shocked Logan since before she left Rogue rarely smiled let alone so willingly hugging someone. What ever happened to her to make her come out of her shell so much, he was happy it had.

"Well nothin' much, got a job, a life, friends and best of all no one with buckets on their head was tryin' to interfere with it neither"

"Nice to see you too Rogue" Magneto interrupted as walked behind them both. Looking up and blushing slightly Rogue smiled as she watched him walk down towards Ororo.

"So what ya'll been up to without me then?" She asked as she turned back towards Logan again, who was smirking in amusement.

"Nothin much darlin. Got a new recruit and she's as big of a pain in the ass as John, Bobby and Kurt put together."

"Wow tha' bad! An' ah thought ya'd have scared her off liake ya did St. John"

"Tried, she's a lot harder to scare then the pyromaniac"

"Don't worry ah'm sure she'll get the message eventually. Ah mean they don't call ya the 'Wolverine' fo' nothin'"

"Sorry to cut your reunion short" The professor interrupted, "but I would like to have a word with you and your guest and bring you up to speed on what's happening"

"Guest what guest?"

"Well he's …….ah met him while ah was away, ya know him ah think……well ah know really, its Remy LeBeau, riahgt well ah'd better be off to the professors study can't keep 'im waitin' now can ah?!"

And with that said Rogue turned and bolted before Logan had chance to interrogate her about the Cajun.


As Rogue reached her bedroom she could hear laughing from inside and pushing the door open slightly she found Remy sat on the bed with a grown up Jamie and a pack of cards laid out in front of them and in their hands. Crossing her arms in annoyance and glaring at the pair Rogue interrupted them both causing Jamie to jump and drop his remaining cards.

"Remy LeBeau what do ya think ya doin?"

Looking up suddenly at being caught Jamie watched and waited for the famous Rogues tempter to come crashing down on them both. However he watched Remy as he didn't even flinch when Rogue spoke and looked up smirking casually before replying.

"Well chere, Remy be teachin' de kid 'ere poker, an' what av' yo' been up t'?"

With wide eyes Jamie waited for Rogue to begin shouting as she would have before she left only to watch her glare melt away to be replaced with smile that seemed to brighten the entire room.

"Me? Ah've jus' been talkin' t' yo' executioner sugar, thinkin' o' the many ways t' kill ya'. Guttin' was high on th' list, with the convenience of claws near by n'all"

"Oh chere yo' wound me, yo' really wouldn't want t' see dis Cajun gutted would ya?"

"Well shuga, I suppose if it stopped ya teachin' 16yr olds how t' gamble maybe ah should, speakin' of which how ya doin' sugar? Long taime no see"

For a moment Jamie just sat there staring at Rogue. Rogue the Rogue was flirting? The famous 'ice queen' was willingly smiling, laughing and pretty, no not pretty she was gorgeous! And she was talking to him, wait she was talking to him.

"I'm Jamie"

"Yeah ah think ah know that sugar" Rogue laughed "Ah mean we did live together for about a year or somethin'. Then again ya' were only 14 an' now look at ya, ah swear ya must have th' girls runnin' round for ya"

"I'm……..fine thanks" Jamie stuttered after a long pause.

"Right well sorry t' steal ya partner but prof wants t' see us so ah'll see ya later 'k. Bye!"

Turning she walked out the room with Remy behind her leaving a dumbfounded Jamie behind them.


"I tink someone may like ya chere"

Remy said smiling. Rogue tried to ignore the comment as she knocked on the door of professor Xavier's study but couldn't help the faint blush making its way onto her cheeks.

"Come in Rogue, Remy" The professors voice could be heard from the other side.

"He mus' liake ya if he aint tryin to scare ya with usin his telepathy t' tell ya that" Rogue said laughing as she pushed open the door and made her way inside with Remy right behind her.

Inside hadn't changed at all except some of the pictures on the wall had been updated as students had grown older, there was even a wedding picture of Scott and Jean. Taking one of the single seats next to each other Remy took Rogues hand out of habit, intertwining her fingers with his own.

"May I first say welcome home Rogue its lovely to see you again, especially looking so happy. And welcome Remy to the institute I'm sure you may find some problems with certain residents, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Now Rogue, Remy there reason I called you back here is that we have been hearing about a new group of mutants. We don't know who they are or what they are called but they appear to be ruthless, destructive but always escape without a trace. Logan has tried to trace the scent at recent sites but has come up cold, we have yet to encounter them for ourselves but we are sure that they wont be easy to defeat. I am afraid that they, unlike the X-men, are not afraid of spilling blood. I believe the only way to get rid of this threat is with as much help as we can find which is why I have asked you to return. I'm sorry I can't give you any more information at this time but we are searching for any thing that might be of any relevance.

So, with that said all I can do for now is to welcome you back and hope that your assistance with the X-men is no longer needed. Now I do believe that, for now, keeping your relationship concealed from Logan is the best option for your life Remy. But let him get to know you to trust you and I'm sure he'll much more at ease with the idea. This of course means separate rooms so Remy I have set you up in the boys wing sharing with your old friend Piotr and Rogue you will be back sharing with Kitty again."

"Thanks so much professor" Rogue said smiling as they both stood up. "Ah think ah'll go finishing unpacking now"

"Oui merci. Bu' Remy has a question"

"Oh! What's that?" The professor asked concerned.

"When de Wolverine knows bout us can we share a room?"

"Remy!" Rogue shouted embarrassed and grabbed Remy's arm pulling him out of the room leaving Xavier to chuckle at their behaviour.

"Ah, young love" Xavier chuckled to himself as the door was closed behind Rogue's retreating form.


Yeah yeah I know tiny chapter and nothing really happened, apart from you now know why she was called back. Sorry! It was kinda a chapter to kick the fic in the butt and get it going, cause it was kinda dragging (and it was only on the 4th chapter!) lol! Anyway ill try to update soon!
