Sorry about the long wait, I hope you like it. Its a bit of a Rogue and Gambit one today.
Storm had just finished putting out the fire in the institute and landed by the rest of team where there were talking about the phoenix.
"Are you sure professor?" asked Jubilee
"Yes, the phoenix has taken complete control of Rogue's body, I cannot sense her"
"Try harder" shouted Gambit
"I'm sorry Gambit," said Jean and Scott turning to him
"I'm not the one you need to say sorry to, you a telepath Jean could you not sense her pain" continued Gambit
"No... maybe, maybe I did but just wanted to ignore the pain she felt, Oh Scott," said Jean as tears fell down her cheeks
"We cannot blame Jean Gambit, Rogue hid things pretty well" said Logon
"Fine, but Gambit will not forgive the professor, he the one that sent Rogue there in the first place without warning"
"Even the professor could not have foreseen this," said Beast
"Gambit don't want to here no excuse, he go look for Rogue" as said as he began to walk away from them
"Wait" said Storm "What about the apocalypse"
"Gambit don't care about no apocalypse, all he care about it Rogue" he responded without looking back
"Professor we can't let him go," said Scott
"We have no choice, and he may just be the only hope of getting Rogue back" responded the professor as he looked towards the now wrecked institute with the Xavier school for gifted youngster; sign on the floor along with rumble.
The Phoenix flew all around the earth in a blaze of fire and light she felt free... almost. What is this feelin' that 'ah feel thought the phoenix as she landed by a river harbour. Ma heart it feels like it's breakin' she thought as she stumbled along the harbour. Why does ma 'art ache every time I think of the way that guy called Gambit looked at as 'ah destroyed that place. Looking around the harbour she saw the waves clamping against each other almost as if they were leaning on each other for support.
This feelin it is strange it's wants ma to find Gambit
Rogue where are you? Thought Gambit as he piloted one of the X-jets through the city of New York. How could she burn down the mansion like that? Why didn't she fight the phoenix hard? Was Rogue really gone? Hundreds of questions ran through his mind as he looked down below as the people who had survived the worst of the storm. Rogue why couldn't you fight harder? Why couldn't you stay with Remy? Look up at the sky he saw a blaze of fire heading towards the ship as full force, swerving out of the way of the fire he turned and steady the ship.
"What 'ave you done to ma"? Shouted the Phoenix as it hovered in front of the jet
"Phoenix" shouted Gambit
"What have you done to ma heart?" she asked
"What? Remy did nothin''
"Liar" shouted the phoenix as she hurled a ball of fire toward the jet, which Gambit dodged again
"Are you crazy?" yelled Gambit
"Tell me what ya did to ma," thundered the phoenix
"Remy swear he do nothin', now tell me what you do to Rogue?"
"Rogue?" asked the phoenix "I did nothin' to her"
"Then were is she"
"Ah do not know, who is this Rogue"
"Rogue is the persons body you stole," yelled Gambit
"Ah stole this body is it not mine" asked the phoenix as she examined her hands "I'm so confused" continued the phoenix as she shook her head
looking at the genuine shock on the phoenis's face Gambit said "It's alright chere,"
"Tell ma, what does it mean when 'ah can't get you outta ma head" asked the phoenix
"I don't know, maybe you/Rogue love Gambit" he said with a twinkle in his eye and half a smile on his lips
"Love.... maybe" she whispered (even though she didn't really understand the concept) "Maybe" she whisphered again as the phoenix aura flickered
"Swamprat" said the phoenix
"Rogue" asked Gambit
"Yes Remy, the phoenix is gone again to the back of ma mind"
"Just as she was growing on me, Gambit think phoenix like him, non" said Gambit with a smile
"Ah kinda think the phoenix loved ya" she said returning the smile
"What about you? Chere"
"Always... swamprat, now let go back to the mansion"
