I do not own any of the X-men characters, the only character I own is Damian, so please don't flame me! I'm sorry about some of the pronunciation of some of the characters as I don't know them that well. This is my first Fan Fiction so I hope you like it:D

Rogue had taken a taxi over to Remy's place at six thirty, still really nervous about what to tell Remy first. When she got there, she just stood at the front of the house for a while. But after a few minutes, Rogue plucked up some courage and waked to the door. She knocked and waited for an answer. Nothing. She wrapped her knuckles on it again, harder this time. After a few seconds, it opened, showing Rogue the very grumpy before her to see who it was.
"What?" He asked her, starring down at her in an expression that said he didn't really want her there.
"Oh hey Remy, ah really wanted to talk to you about something," Rogue said, looking up at him all the time as she said it.
"Why do you want to talk to ME for, go to Damian and talk to him," Remy spat angrily at Rogue.
"What? Why tha hell are you on about?" Rogue asked, starring at him. But he saw right through her.
"'What tha hell are you talking about?'" He repeated in a sarcastic disbelievingly tone, "Do you think I don't notice you staring at Damian all the time?" "Don't you realise that 'I' exist too Rogue? I'm your boyfriend, you're supposed to show me SOME attention too you know?" Rogue starred at him, horrified and started to say with the starting of tears in her eyes, "Well, that's what ah came to talk to you about, ah want to sort it all out."
"'Sort it all out'? It's too late for that now Rogue, what wonders me is why you didn't come to me from the start, I'm your boyfriend, I would've helped you. But not now, it's WAY too late for that." Remy had shouted that whole sentence in Rogue's face. There was a pause for moment, then, "The only reason ah didn't come to you as ah thought you would react badly towards me." She had screamed the sentence at Remy as well while more tears streamed down her face.
"Just face it Rogue, it's over between us ok?" Remy shouted. Rogue was so temped to take off her glove and slap him in the face, but she restrained herself. She didn't think she could bear to feel Remy's pain as she would absorb his memories if she did slap him. She stood there, starring at Remy with Anger and sadness, both unaware of everything around them becoming still and quiet. Then she stormed off, still holding her emotions of angry hate and complete and utter sadness and disappointment. She heard the door slam with great force behind her but she didn't look back.

Back at the Institute that night, Rogue had broken down entirely. She sobbed into her pillow most of the night and didn't answer for any one to go in. She would just scream at who ever was there and started to sob into her pillow again. At about midnight, there was a knock at the door. Rogue got up and shrieked at the door, "Ah told all you guys to leave me ALONE!" But the door opened and Kitty was there, her mascara and eye-shadow all smudged and tear trails had been left glistening on her cheeks. She closed the door and ran to Rogue, sobbing.
Kitty embraced Rogue, holding her tight as she said, "Rogue, he hates me, he HATES me!" Rogue was caught in such surprise she had stopped crying.
"Kitty, what do you mean? Who hates you?"
Kitty wailed, "Its, like, Damian, Rogue, Damian HATES ME!" Kitty soaked Rogue's shirt with her tears as she cried and broke down. Rogue patted Kitty's shoulder to comfort her.
Rogue sniffed as she said, "How do you know that Damian hates you? That might not be true." Kitty then pulled herself from Rogue's embrace.
"Rogue, all the time we, like, thought he was a normal person," Kitty said.
"Yeah and…?" Rogue prompted her.
"Well, he's, like, not."
"Well what is he then?" She asked, in complete confusion. Then, Kitty pointed her finger at Rogue.
"Like, touch my finger," Kitty said, strangely calm.
"Why?"
"Just TOUCH IT ok?" She demanded, "You'll be able to see the true, like, if you do, it's really hard to, like, explain." Rogue looked at Kitty, not reassured, "Are you sure Kitty?"
"YES Rogue I am, you only need to, like, touch for a moment." Kitty paused, and then said with a slight smile, "I want someone that I truly trust to, like, talk to about it."
Rogue looked right into Kitty's eyes and had made up her mind, "Ok Kitty, ah will, now, be prepared." Rogue reached her finger to Kitty's, paused for second, and then their fingers connected.
Flashback
Kitty was walking toward a table with two glasses of lemonade in her hand when she saw Damian at their table with Lance (Avalanche). Quickly, not wanting Lance to see her, she phased though the wall, walked down it and then listened to Damian and Lance's conversation.
"So, how's the new school going Damian?" Lance had asked Damian.
"Oh not to bad, I've got a new date already it seems, pretty amazing hah?"
"Not really, as you were the best looking guy at your old school as well," Lance laughed. Kitty kneeled down and phased though the wall, coming out under a table next to the one Damian and Lance were at.
"True," Damian said looking around. "What's taking that girl so long? She just went out to get lemonade."
Lance looked at Damian as he said, "Who are you going out with anyway?"
"Her name is 'Kitty' Pryde."
"Oh yeah? I went out with her once too, she's ok," Lance told Damian.
"Yeah, not the best, but she's still cool."
"I would've thought she wouldn't like you 'that' much, I suppose your powers would help you in that area," Kitty had to stifle a gasp as Lance finished his sentence. So Damian was a mutant. Kitty would have never of guessed, meaning that his power wasn't physical. Not wanting to miss a word of their conversation, she scuttled under their table with the lemonade still in her hands.
"Yes, being able to muddle and know people's emotions is fun and sometimes useful, its fun to play with people." Damian said to Lance as he winked at a passing girl.
"Are you playing with anyone at the moment?" Lance asked Damian, sounding curious. Kitty felt sick.
"Yes I am, you know Rogue, friend of Kitty's."
"Oh really? I want to see how that turns out, she goes out with Gambit LeBeau or someone."
"Yeah I know, I've met him." Damian said, "I hope to see how it turns out."
"Yeah, hope Rogue cries really hard," Lance laughed, "I hate her." Kitty could take any more. She came out from under the table and walked around to face Lance and Damian.
"Oh 'finally' you're hear," Damian said, "What took you so long?" Kitty didn't answer, she just glared at them angrily. "What's wrong Kitty?" Damian asked, a mask of concern on his face. Not a very good mask as Kitty saw right through it.
"You bastards!" She shouted, and with that she tipped the glasses of lemonade on bother their heads, then she phased so 'glasses' she was holding also smashed on their heads. She then ran from the bar, starting to cry.
End Flashback
Rogue pulled her finger away from Kitty's and then stared at her. Kitty didn't need to ask why Rogue had started to cry again. "Hey Rogue, like, its ok," Kitty said in a soothing voice. It was Rogue this time who was soaking Kitty's shirt in her tears.
"The absolute bastard, he was trying to wreck mine and Remy's relationship by having me pay attention to that 'jerk' more then Remy," Rogue sobbed in rage. "Kitty, ah went to go and see Remy today and he really angry at me because of it, oh REMY!" Rogue then got her pillow, and started to scream in it. Kitty sounded very confused at Rogue's words.
"Rogue, what do you, like, mean? Do you think you could, like, explain it to me?" Rogue took her face out her pillow and stared at Kitty. "Rogue, I, like, can't help you if I don't know what, like, happened." Rogue just stared at her, not taking her eyes from Kitty's. "Please Rogue, it's, like, the only way for me to, like, help you."
Rogue bowed her head, and said,"Ok Kitty, ah'll tell yah," And with that, Rogue launched into her story. By the end of it, Kitty had her hands over her mouth in horror.
"And he, like, told you he had noticed it before you two, like, had that big fight?" Kitty asked in shock. Rogue nodded, tears still leaking from the corners of her eyes. "Omigosh, that's so, like, SO brave!"
"Ah know," Rogue said, her head bowed. "He probably won't talk tah me any more."
"Yeah, I, like, know what you mean," Kitty said, starting to think. "I think I have an idea of how to, like, find out what he's doing."
"HOW?" Rogue said urgently.
"Well…," Kitty said, considering her options, "Oh never mind that, like, follow me." And with that, Kitty got up, dragged Rogue off the bed and quietly walked down the hall. Kitty didn't answer Rogue's constant questions all the way down the hall until they had stopped in front of Jean's room.
"We're goin' tah JEAN?" Rogue said, angrily.
"Of course we are, its, like, the only way to find out what Gambit's thinking, then we, like, know what he's going to do," Kitty explained to Rogue.
"But ah mean, its 'Jean' we're talkin' 'bout hear, can't we get someone else?" Rogue pleaded Kitty.
"No we can't," Kitty said convinced, "The only other person who can read minds is Professor X, and he wouldn't, like, understand our situation." Rogue starred at Kitty angrily about asking help her least favourite person.
"Oh fahne then." Kitty, pleased of being able to get her way, knocked on Jean's bedroom door and opened it.
