AWKWARD POSITIONS
Rogue came out of the kiss a little breathless, nearly forgetting that Logan was behind her, just a few feet away. Well, that is until she heard Logan growl. Then she remembered what it was that she was in the middle of. She closed her eyes and sighed, knowing very well that Remy had been staring at her intently with a smirk across his face, enjoying the whole scene immensely. Rogue turned around to face Logan, seeing that he was still ready to attack, then he growled, "Gambit." Her eyes went wide and she turned to Remy as he nonchalantly replied, "Wolverine." 'Since when do they know each othah?'
As Logan made his way over to them, he retracted his claws and Remy pulled her close to him, wrapping his arm around her waist protectively. 'Oh great, what have Ah gotten mahself inta now?' The two men just starred at one another like they were waiting for the other to make the first move. Rogue was about to lose it between them and dealing with all of the tension, as if she didn't have enough just on her own. Her eyes went back and forth between the two, and since nobody else was going to speak up, she decided to speak her mind.
"How on Earth, ya'll know one 'nother?" Logan grunted, but Remy just stood there with a blank expression on his face.
"Gumbo here, he helped out Storm before you ever came along." Logan answered her gruffly.
"How de femme beh now?" Remy asked him as if they were old friends.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Then Logan noticed Remy finger something in his pocket. Rogue broke Remy's hold on her and jumped between the two men as she heard snikt. Logan looked past Rogue to Remy smirking at him.
"What, need a woman to fight your battles for ya Gumbo?" Rogue had enough of this, especially over him saying that in front of her. She walked over to Logan and got into his face.
"What battles?" she growled out at him. He took a step back and retracted his claws, not wanting to chance hurting her. His eyes landed on the smirking cajun one last time to notice him pull out a cigarette out of the pocket his hand was in. Logan grunted and turned around, heading back to the camp. Then she turned back to Remy, "What was that all 'bout?" Remy just shrugged and lite his cigarette. But Rogue was not in a good enough mood to let that slide. She walked up to him a grabbed the cigarette from his mouth and as she turned around she snapped it in two and threw it on the ground. Remy just stood there watching her walk away, enjoying the view.
On Rogue's way back to the camp she met Mystique. She eyed her curiously, wondering exactly what she was doing, then it dawned on her.
"Ya knew, didn't ya?" Mystique looked away.
"I didn't know for sure. I only knew it was a possibility. But I thought it would be a good thing. I'm sorry. Where else would your daughter be safe, but with her own father." Rogue placed her hand on Mystique's shoulder.
"Ah know momma, but ya should'a warned meh. There's too much history." Mystique looked at her daughter nodding understanding, but couldn't help but smile at her being called 'momma' again. The two headed off to the camp to see if Anna was awake yet.
Remy stayed out in the woods, knowing that Logan didn't go back to the camp, but that he was watching him. So he just stood there smoking his cigarette, and then called out, "Da big bad Wolverine care ta play wit Gambit?" He threw the cigarette down and turned to see Wolverine staring at him from a few feet away.
"What are you doing with her?" He growled out at the man before him.
"Gambit not know if dat really ya business." Snikt.
"She's my business." Remy laughed bitterly.
"Really, mon ami. Don't think de femme like dat too much. Gambit not know da whole story but, he do know ya hurt her." he took out his staff and set it to full length twirling it for a moment, as if this were all a game.
"What are your intentions bub. She your girl of the week?" Logan took a step toward the man before him. But Remy did not move, instead he just smirked.
"Seem that da Wolverine don't know much when it comes ta dat femme dat be his business." Logan smirked at his prey.
"You know you can't use your powers out here, might cause a sentinel to come and get you." This time Remy took a step towards Logan.
"Oui, mais if Gambit get ya good 'nough, dat healin' 'bility won't do ya much good. Dem sentinels come get you too, non. Willing to risk it? Maybe dey find dat camp too." Logan grinded his teeth and growled retracting his claws.
"Just stay out of my way Gumbo. If you do anything to hurt her-" Remy didn't hear the rest as Logan made his way back to the camp. Remy waited and then went to find Rogue.
Remy found her just outside a cabin playing with a little girl. She never even noticed him coming, but he could see her smile that was larger then he had yet to see. He was merely content to watch the scene before him, loving every minute of it. Remy noticed that he wasn't the only one though, Mystique and Kurt were a few feet away from Rogue doing the same. He wanted to be able to make her this happy for the rest of her life.
