Sparky Genocide: I knew there were a few people who wanted her to
choose Remy. No sorry no more Spider-Man in this story he was just a
cameo role in this one. The Jameson idea is nice, I'll try that later
on. Yeah I thought about the Goths thing but I figured that was obvious
to everyone. Unfortunately I don't get any of the Ultimate titles here,
but I know what you mean.
celtcath74: Yes I did and it was great!
morring star: You know I was debating having those two go at it, I'll see if I can fit that in or not.
epona04: lol, is that what it takes for people to review? Well if you read the previous stories you shouldn't be surprised by her decision.
yae yang: Angel, Scott and Jean!? What are you talking about? There's no such thing in the show or in my stories, I think your thinking of something else.
The Uncanny R-Man: I'm not sure I actually want to pair Spidey & Wanda I just felt like she needed to come out of her shell a little.
DemonRogue13: Glad I surprised you and that you liked it.
Supergirlhv: Well I figured I would try for the biggest surprise I could get, was I wrong? Maybe it's because Romy's have been done to death, and this is fresh and new?

CHAPTER 4: ROGUE'S CHOICE
For the past twenty-four hours Rogue was a mental mess. She was trying to short out her feelings and decide on what to do. Wanda to her surprise seemed to be staying quiet and the normal air of tension in the room they shared was a bit lessened since yesterday.
She wasn't sure why but she didn't care at the moment, she was too busy agonizing over her life. She had breakfast with the others but she had tried to avoid both Vincent and Remy. Remy seemed to take it in stride, Vincent whoever looked slightly hurt and he was wondering if she was still mad at him.
Rogue however felt horrible about the while thing. She was wondering what exactly to do. She was just walking around the mansion, not really caring where she was going she was just deep in thought.
"Penny for your thoughts chere." She heard Gambit say to her. She looked over to her left and saw him leaning against one of the walls casually. She really didn't need this now.
"Go away swamp rat ah'm busy." She snapped at him. He didn't seemed to be phased by it, he just stood there smiling at her. He moved in closer to her still smiling.
"And what exactly are you busy with? Maybe Remy could help?" He said. He was right in front of her leaning in close. She felt his hand caress her cheek and he seemed to be getting in closer.
She could feel her rate increasing and she knew he was getting ready to kiss her. She took a step back quickly and got out of there before anything else happened. He went up the stairs her heart hammering in her hears.
She needed help, to tell this to someone, anyone, and maybe for some help too. But who?
Rogue walked into Kitty's room. She saw Dani wasn't in there, which was good since she needed to talk to Kitty alone. She was on her bed petting Lockheed. "Hey Rogue like what's up?"
Rogue closed the door and walked over to the bed. Kitty could tell Rogue was troubled about something. "Rogue what is it?" She said. Rogue never looked like this, and it was scarring her a little.
Rogue sighed. She told Kitty everything that was happening with her and Gambit. At the end Kitty didn't know what to say. "Kitty what do ah do?" She pleaded. "Ah'm so confused."
"Okay let's try something. Now when I say something no matter what you replay with the first thing in your head, okay?" Kitty said to her. Rogue gave her a look that said she wasn't convinced this was a great idea. "Just like go with it okay?"
Rogue sighed and nodded. So Kitty began. "Color."
"Green."
"Homework."
"Boring."
"Power."
"Strength."
"Is Gambit cute?"
"Ye-NO!" She was about to say yes but had stopped herself.
"Rogue you can't like change your answer, now let's try this again and remember no matter what, be honest." Kitty said to her. Once again they started off and then Kitty got to the more interesting questions.
"Are you attracted to Gambit?"
"Yes."
"Are you attracted to Vincent?"
"Yes."
"Who do you love?"
"Vincent." Then it came to her. Yes she was attracted to both but the question was WHO was she in love with. She hardly knew Remy, but she knew Vincent better then anyone. He had been there for her in her worst times and she for him, he had comforted her and before she could touch he wasn't afraid of her, or gave any special attention to her skin.
He had made her feel normal at times, and after she could touch they had become even closer. She had told him things that she hadn't told many if any one else at all. He was kind and sweet and at times even could be romantic, even if she found it slightly crony sometimes but she liked it all the same. It became clear to her now what she had to do. "Thanks Kitty I owe you!" She hugged the girl and ran off, she first had to stop off at her room before she could confront Gambit.
Vincent was walking along the corridors depressed. He wish he knew what was going on, he was sure Rogue was over her anger but he knew there was something else going on too, but he didn't know what. He was nearing a corner when he heard her voice in the next room.
"Gambit, we need to talk." It was a serious tone and he had a bad feeling. He knew he shouldn't but maybe he would get some insight to what was going on. So he pressed himself against the wall and listened.
Rogue had found Remy right where he was the last time. She had gone up to him and he flashed her that smile of his. "So chere what is it dat you wanted to see Remy about?" With that smile of his still on his face.
"Look we need ta talk about what is goin' on between us." At her words Vincent's heart suddenly stopped and he got a cold feeling in his guts. He didn't like the sound of that.
Remy moved in closer to her. "So you do feel somethin' for me non?"
She took a breath. "Honestly? Ah do, ah am attracted to ya."
Vincent on the other hand didn't want to hear anymore but he found his legs weren't moving. He felt so empty at that point, like someone just ripped out everything inside of him, leaving him hollow.
Remy smiled and moved in to kiss her but she put a hand on his chest and stopped him. "But ah love Vincent. Ah'm sorry, maybe in another time and place in another life...maybe there could have been somethin' but not now. Ah'm sorry." She placed something in his hands and turned and walked off.
He looked down at what was in his hands and his face fell slightly in disappointment. It was the queen of hearts card that he had given her. At that moment he knew he couldn't have her heart, because she had already given it to someone else.
Vincent on the other hand was overjoyed and relived. In that minute he had felt his life crumble and then rebuilt itself. He was ecstatic that she had chosen him, he was also slightly angry at the while thing, mainly at Remy, but he knew better then to act on it. IT was her choice after all.
If she had chosen him, he wouldn't have gone all jealous and had ripped him to shreds, which he knew he could literally do in seconds, but he respected Rogue too much to go against her wishes. That didn't mean he would like it or wouldn't have been hurt, but she was her own person with her own will and choices.
He was just glad that he still had her in his life like that. After everything, he wasn't sure if he could take loser her so suddenly. Almost everything good had been taken from him in life, and he was so afraid in that moment that one of the best things to ever happen to him was gone.
But she wasn't. He walked away smiling. He knew now what was on her mind, he wouldn't confront her with it, but if she chose to tell him, then he would wait for her to. But none of that mattered. All that matter was that the love of his life was still with him.
Rogue on the other hand felt good about herself. She felt she finally knew what she wanted and no longer had the confusion and doubt in her mind. Maybe that had been her problem. Instead of thinking about it, she should have just listened to her heart.
NEXT UP CHAPTER 5: WHAT'S IN A NAME
X23 gets her name, personally I've been leaning towards Sarah, I just like it but I'm not sure.
AN: Just for those interested it seems it was 4 votes for Vincent and 2 for Remy with one undecided, but I was going to do this anyway, I mean I put Vince through enough as it is right? (Although I know it would have been 6 if two people I know weren't too busy to review)
