WOW! I didn't expect to get any reviews yet! Well I'm glad I did.
Just to clear things up a bit. I didn't put the point of views in character for a few reasons
One I really didn't want to write that way for long periods of time. I get used to it too easily and start writing that way when I go to class and turn in homework.
Two I wanted to leave a little mystery on who I was starting off with as main characters but then ruined it when I advertised it as a ROMY.
But anyway. I'm not planning on doing too much of the pov's I just thought that would be a fun way of interducing the new story.
Any way keep reviewing.
Love it.
Rogue Obsessed.
Rogue sat at her dinner at the Ford dinning court near her place. The large dining hall was brand new. Sometimes she thinks she can still smell the paint drying (which was true. For the first month they were still doing final touches! Lol) The dining room was large and filled with tables of people all of them talking about student life.
Rouge, on the other hand, sat far back in a corner with her back to the wall. In the dim lighting she could still read her text book. Not that she was reading, she had every intention to do so, but her mind had wandered.
"I don't want you to go Rogue."
"Bobby, it ain' yer life. Ah have ta go an' make somthin' of mahself."
"Well why can't you stay here and do it like every one else?"
'He just don' understand. It's too comfortable here. Ah have ta see if ah can make it in tha real world.'
"Are you just going to abandon the team?"
"Bobby what's this really 'bout? Ah know it's not just 'bout tha team."
His face lost some of it's anger
"What about us, Rogue?"
"Bobby there ain' no us anymore. Haven' been for a year."
"But I never thought you would just up and leave! I thought there'd be a second chance."
"Ah didn' just up an' leave. Ah've been plannin' this for a while. Ya just been to busy ta notice little ol' me. Now it's to late. Ya can't stop me."
The anger returned as Bobby kicked a desk nearby.
"But you didn't even consider me! You're just being selfish!"
"Well maybe Ah deserve ts be selfish fer once! Bobby, Ah'm all Ah have. Ya were tired of bein' with an untouchable girl, but Ah'm sick of bein' that girl! Ah need ta be selfish righ' now or Ah'm gonna go crazy. It's Mah decision. Not yers."
Rogue regretted leaving with things still unresolved but she didn't really have a choice.
She needed time and space from the X-men and the school. She needed to decide whether or not she could live on her own again. Support herself. She didn't want to have to spend her life constantly in debt to professor and the team. It's time to stand on her own two feet.
As she was lost in thought Gambit stared at her form across the room.
He could tell she was turning something in her head but not really sure what it was. She wasn't reading, he was sure of that. She hadn't changed the page, or even moved her gaze from the spot she's been staring at for the last ten minutes.
He grinned when he realized she was still wearing her scarf and gloves from the weeks before. She had placed her coat and bag on the seat next to her so that if someone were to approach it would have to be from the front with the table between. She seemed to always be on the defensive side. In her classes she would always choose a chair near a wall or corner to distance herself from other people.
Gambit had done his research. There were few boarding schools around New York that could be a possibility. She could have gone to one of those. He would have to get more details if he was to find out who she really was. Marie Logan was not her given name. He tried some of his sources but no one could get info on Marie Logan or even a change of name form for her.
It was like she didn't exist. There should have at least been a paper trail. Boarding schools cost money so who was paying. She would have had to transfer schools. Where is that paper work? There were pieces of the puzzle missing.
This girl was defiantly a mystery. But at least she's a beautiful mystery.
Rouge snapped out of her wandering thoughts when the Cajun decided to plop down in the chair in front of her. She didn't know if she could call it plopping down because even in that he had a cat like elegance and grace to him.
"so what da Rogue Readin'?" Gambit grabbed up the tet book form the table
"Genetics?"
"Yeah. Ya gotta problem with it?"
"Non, Dat just seem like a hard subjec' ta Gambit. Dat all."
"Is thar somthin' Ah could so for ya, cause Ah'd rather have ya back outta mah hair."
She glared at him but he only grinned.
"Oh dere be plent o' t'ings Gambit want Rogue ta do for 'im chere. . ." He waggled his eyebrows suggestively. If it wasn't for the glasses she would have seen the mischievous look in his eyes as well.
Rogue's eyes on the other hand flared with fire and Brimstone.
"PIG!" she jumped up and threw a cup of sprite in his fade and tried to leave but her things were making it difficult. Eventlually a few seconds later she accomplished the task of storming out in protest.
The kids at nearby tables watched and laughed before Gambit's glare, not hindered by the sunglasses, startled them into silence.
He quickly caught up with Rogue. He laced his arm through hers. She recoiled at his touch and tried to pull away. She was caught.
" Let Gambit walk ya home Petit. It be dangerous ta walk home alone a nigh'."
"ah think Ah'll take mah chances ya filthy swamp rat!"
"now dat hurt Cher. Callin' Gambit names like dat. He no callin' you River Rat no is 'e?"
"Ah ain' no River rat!"
"Oui, ya are. Gambit know. You be a Mississippi girl. Dat make ya a River Rat."
Rogue bit her tongue not wanting to speak to him anymore.
Despite the fact that he held her securely he didn't apply enough pressure to hurt her or even appear to be violent. She could have broke free, used her super sterenght, but then he would know she was a mutant.
For some reason she didn't want thim to run form her.
"Da Rogue need ta calm down. You be too tense you afraid o' Gambit?"
"Why should Ah be. Ah dealt with scarier people than you! Ya should have met mah teachers back home. Ah bet even Jean could make ya cry. An' she's on of tha nice one's."
Gambit wasn't so sure. Be hind his sunglasses his mutant eyes gleamed.
After a while Rouge realized that he was guiding her and not the other way around. He led her to the door of her small apartment building across the way from the football stadium.
"How do ya know where Ah live?"
"Oh, Gambit Has his way."
He brought her hand up and kissed the back of her gloved hand.
"Gambit look forward ta seein' ya again. Marie Logan."
He turned and walked away in to the darkness leaving Rogue to wonder exactly how he had gotten her name. Not that is was actually her name. Professor understood that she wanted her identity to remain her own. He arranged to have her name be legally changed to Logan. Wolverine let her use his name. After all, she was like a daughter to him.
"Ah don' think Ah like this Cajun. . ."
'but then again he is pretty hot.'
She blushed at her own thoughts as she went inside.
Well everyone that's it for now. I'm done. I'll try to get the next chapter up on Monday
Yeah like I said all the places real places. The apartments she was taking about are the hilltop apartments. They are right next to the stadium so on football home games I always have a few dozen people tailgating on my front lawn. GRRRRR!
Glad I don't have to live there next year.
Next chapter should have some action/adventure and will be taking place at the co rec. that's were every one goes to work out.
He he
Anyway it's going to be good I hope.
Please review. It makes my day. I giggle and get giddy when I see reviews
So make me giggle
