Chapter 2= New Roomies
Kitty ran to Rouge's side. Rouge sat up and moved away from the professor, a look of sheer horror on her face. She tripped and fell, but Gambit again was in her way. She didn't care who caught her; Rouge socked him in the jaw and took off toward the rooms. Gambit held his mouth. Rouge hit hard for a girl.
"What happened?" Logan asked.
"He was waiting for me to enter her mind so that I would scare her into thinking we can't be trusted." The Professor answered rubbing his temples.
"Do vou zink it vorked?" Kurt asked with concern in his normally happy voice.
"Ya." Gambit said still rubbing his chin.
"No, she was waiting for a reason to do that bub." Logan said coldly.
"I'll like go talk to her." Kitty said running off after Rouge.
***** Rouge sat in the shower with the bathroom door locked. She couldn't control the shaking that rippled through her body. The professor would never try to hurt me. It must have been an accident. She thought to her self, but in the back of her mind she could hear a little voice say, 'What if he was trying to get rid of you, you're the only one that can strengthen Apocalypse.' Rouge shook her head. At that moment there was a light tap on the door.
"Rouge, are you ok?" Kitty's calming voice soothed her nerves.
"Ya just a little freaked, look ah'm ganna change then head back, and you don't have to wait for me." Rouge answered.
"You like sure?" Kitty asked.
"Ya go don't worry ah'll be up in a minute." With that Kitty phased through the wall and headed back to the meeting.
Rouge got up and to her sweet time getting ready. She hated that Gambit was with in a mile of her. The thought of him made her skin crawl. Rouge wasn't sure why she felt this way ever since her gave her that "explosive" gift she couldn't stop thinking about him. When she looked at him she felt almost hypnotized. And the fact that she had kissed him to absorb his power didn't help either, that she blamed on Mesmero. She figured i was part of his power and tried to brush it off but the feeling stuck with her. She would never admit it but when she saw him her stomach filled with butterflies, because she was concerned that a fight was about to begin of course. When her make up was all applied she walked back to the other mutants.
When she entered the room everyone looked at her. She hated being the center of attention. "Remy liked your other outfit better."
Rouge's stomach flopped but she didn't show it. She glared at him before asking.
"How's your chin?" His smile lessened into a slight grin.
"Any way Remy can touch his southern belle is fine by him." Rouge was about to retaliate when Logan spoke.
"You alright stripes?" Logan inquired, sincere concern in his deep voice.
"Ya ah'm just a little rattled, lets not try that again." She said turning to the professor.
"Yes, well we have decided on a new course of action." Rouge looked at Kitty who seemed uneasy about something.
"What would that be?"
"We are going to combine forces and fallow a lead Charles found in your mind."
"You got somethin' useful den?" She said a little shocked.
"Yes before I was forced out i saw a compound, perhaps he is storing something important there." The professor answered.
Rouge looked back at Kitty. Sure working with them would suck but it wasn't too bad. But the look on Kitty's face told her there was more.
"We have already assigned the partners for this mission Gambit can fill you in on your part of the mission, since you'll be working together." Informed Magneto.
Rouge flipped around and stared at him.
"Ah'm workin' with Swap Rat?" She said pointing at Gambit.
"Well we didn't hear a protest, and Remy is pleased you already have a nick name for him." His voice made her want to either kiss him or beat him so black and blue he wouldn't be able to walk for a week.
Rouge turned and glared at him. She hated how he got under her skin without even trying. She was fighting so many emotions about him she didn't know what to think any more. Just when she was sure it couldn't get any worse Scott told her more bad news.
"Oh it gets better. Gambit, Pyro and Speedy over there, are staying at the institute so they can train with there partners."
Rouge seriously thought she was going to pass out. Not only was she going to have to work with the guy she had to train with him and knowing Gambit he would try to spend ever moment with her, just to piss her off.
