I would like to make a special thanks to 'Rogue gaL' as my first reviewer on my first fanfic! Sorry my messages at the top were repetitive, I was copying and pasting the message into each chapter! I hope you enjoy the chapter! PS. I only own Damian in this story (and he's a real ASS:D)
…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…
Jean was not pleased to see them, especially at about three in the morning. But when Kitty explained hers and Rogue's situation, Jean had obviously forgotten her annoyance. She even had her hands over her mouth in horror. Rogue didn't seem to be listening to the conversation Kitty and Jean were having. She just starred up at the roof, trying not to cry into her silence. She felt so miserable, ever since she went to Remy's house. She churned with guilt and anger as she rolled onto her side. She felt as though she was lying there for hours, waiting for Kitty to tell Jean what happened. She didn't like Jean at all, but it was the only way. The only way that her and Remy could get back together again.
"So Rogue, you've got yourself in a very difficult situation in deed." Jean cut through Rogue's thoughts.
"Oh, yeah, ah suppose," Rogue said distractedly. Jean started talking to Kitty again, as though Rogue was a patient and Kitty was her mother. Rogue seemed to phase into cyber space, unaware of anything around her. 'Who would be so cruel to wreck peoples lives?' Rogue thought to herself. She thought she knew the answer, or otherwise it was her bitter opinion. Only a cold blooded, shrouded criminal of pure evil would dare play with a person without so much turning a hair on their head. She contorted with rage at the thought.
"Rogue, what do you want to do to, like, see where Remy is?" Kitty asked Rogue. Rogue turned to Kitty in bewilderment. Kitty never used the name 'Remy' to refer to Gambit. She continued to stare at Kitty until she said, "Well Rogue?" Rogue then went to stare at Jean, looking straight into her eyes. She saw real concern in her eyes, more concern that Jean had ever given Rogue. Finally after a few seconds she said, "Ah need to know what Remy's gonna be doin' so ah can go see 'im." Jean turned to Kitty, then back to Rogue, just giving her a stare that said 'Are you sure about that?'
"Rogue, do think it's wise to see Gambit right after you had that fight with him? You should let him cool off."
"AH DON'T CARE," Rogue screamed, "AH LOVE HIM! TELL ME WHERE HE IS NOW!" Jean fell back, startled by the response.
She then got up as Kitty said," Rogue, shoosh…you may wake someone up…"
"DO YOU THINK AH CARE KITTY?" Rogue roared, tiny bits of spittle occasionally flying from her mouth, "AH LOVE HIM! AH DON'T CARE HOW MANY PEOPLE AH HAVE TO TORTURE BEFORE AH GET HIM BACK!" There was silence in the room, as well as out side. Rogue glared at Kitty and Jean, with a face of rage. After a minute or two, Rogue spat again, "Well? Are ya goin' ta do it or what?" Jean, worried that Rogue would explode on her again, put her fingers to her temples.
Before she closed her eyes to tap into Gambit's mind, Jean turned to Rogue tentatively and said, "Are sure you want me to do this?" Kitty leapt off Jean's bed (cat style) just in time before Rogue started screaming again.
"JEAN! YA ALREADY ANNOY MEH AS IT IS, NOW GET ON WID FINDING REMY OR AH'LL KILL YA!" Without another word, Jean got straight to it, her index fingers on her temples, eyes closed, searching for Remy. Rogue shot an angry offended look at Kitty lying on the floor. Kitty looked up and saw the look Rogue was giving her. She flinched at the look, and then sat next to her.
"Rogue, what are you, like, going to do if you find Remy?" Rogue's temper seemed to ebb away as she bowed her head.
"Ah'm still tryin' tah work out that part." They all were consumed in complete silence. Kitty looked at Rogue in pity. She was so vulnerable and the tough Goth/punk attitude. Rogue and Kitty disguised what Rogue was going to say to Remy until Jean suddenly gasped. "What? What is it Jean?" Rogue and Kitty whipped their heads over to Jean and both nearly cricked their necks.
"Gambit is the airport, going to New Orleans." Rogue and Kitty widened their eyes in pure terror. "The plane is leaving in only half-an-hour!" With those words, Rogue shot up off the bed, slammed the door open and ran down the hallway. Kitty ran after her.
"Rogue, slow down! Like wait for me," Rogue halted and turned abruptly.
"Kitty, ah don' want ya tah come, this is between meh and Remy." She then began to sprint down to the garage, where all the vehicles belonging to the institute were kept. Kitty was only just keeping up with her. Rogue grabbed a pair of keys and walked up to a motorbike.
"ROGUE!" Kitty stopped in front of Rogue panting and leaning on her knees. Rogue scowled down at Kitty.
Kitty looked up and said, "Rogue, are you thinking of, like, going alone?"
"Yes Kitty, this is just between meh and Remy, NOT YOU!" Kitty looked up at her in surprise, still clutching her own knees for support. She just kept on staring at Rogue as she hopped onto a motorbike and grabbed a near-by helmet.
"Rogue, are you, like, sure you can…" Kitty trailed off, but Rogue wasn't paying any attention to Kitty, but putting on her helmet. "…Well, if you do reach him, I really hope you, like, get back together." Rogue then looked down at Kitty, just as she was revving up the engine. A real feeling of reassurance sped through Rogue then. She wasn't going to try and stop her, but give her support. Rogue then took off, leaving all her doubts behind her.
