I love you all! blows kisses

I told you reviews make my day. It was a lousy day. Until I read all the reviews.

I came to the comp. lab straight from work so right now I smell like fryer grease and Grill grease just to let you know but I didn't want to wait a day longer to update for you guys.

Keep reviewing. That's what keeps me motivated to write

Any way I've had a few people clamoring about when I was going to reveal the whole mutant thing.

I know exactly how I'm going to reveal rogue and a pretty good Idea about Gambits.

Any way on to the story

8 8 8

Rogue couldn't seem to get away from that Cajun. He seemed to be every where and then no where.

She never quite knew when he'd show up. He would just be there suddenly. Sometimes she would be sitting on a bench alone reading and the next thing she new he was sitting beside her feeding the squirrels.

Another time she would be laying on a blanket on the memorial mall studying when a rose would fall onto her book. She would look up just in time to see him striding off. He would always stop just barley close enough for her to see him smile a quick smile and he would be off again.

Rogue thought it was sweet but she knew that she couldn't get attached.

She told herself that he was just some creepy stalker fanboy.

Rogue took to sneaking around campus. She would use all the skills from her training to creep between the buildings. She hid in shadows cast by trees and try to lose herself in crowds. It was still frightening to be that close to so many people but she didn't want to be followed anymore.

Gambit noticed that she was trying harder not to be found but It's hard to miss a girl like Rogue. He would be a poor thief if he couldn't even follow one girl.

Extremely late one Night Rogue crept out of her apartment to go to the Rec Center to work out. She didn't want to get banned from the team because she got out of shape or practice. She found a gym set up that was empty. One side of the room had balance beams and obstacles. The other had punching bags.

Gambit followed her into the Rec center. He went to the observation room attached to the gym she was practicing in. He took in the sight of her. She wore a black spandex suit that showed more of her then the full coverage should. It clung to every curve and made him catch his breath. She wore a pair of red shorts over the suit that barley made the outfit any less scandaless. The shorts had a small X symbol on the edge but he didn't know what it meant. To tell the truth, seeing this much of Rogue, he wasn't thinking about much else. She pulled off her long gloves but to his disappointment pulled on another pair. They looked kinda like batting gloves.

She stretched her body for a while before she began to practice flips. She started with round-offs and handsprings. After a few moments she started to work her way up. Back handspring. Back flip. Round offs into back handsprings. Then she began to work her way to the balance beam. She didn't even hesitate before flipping onto the bar and continued to do flips.

In Rogues mind she was imagining her enemy coming at her and she was simply evading.

Gambit had to admit that she was amazing. Almost as good as the thief himself.

After a while Gambit moved to stand by the door to the observation room but stayed out of sight.

Rogue moved to the other side of the room and began to punch the punching bag.

She had only been at it for a few minutes when some one else entered the room.

Gambit was sad that he no longer had Rogue all to himself.

Rogue on the other hand felt strange. The hair on the back of her neck was standing on ends.

She turned around to see the woman who entered. The eyes glowed yellow for a moment.

"Mystique"

"Rogue" She grinned a small sideways grin that failed to convey any humor.

Rogue bolted for the door but she had to go through Mystique to reach it.

Almost faster then Gambit could follow, the woman kicked out to trip Rogue. Rogue anticipated the move and jumped. As she did so Mystique elbowed Rogue hard in the back. Being air born she had no way to really control the force Just placed on her back

Even her gift of flight didn't help her much with that about of force driving her down.

She managed to turn onto her back and use the momentum to roll back and get on her feet. Mystique was simply too fast for Rogue. A few sharp blows the front of her chest drove her back to the ground where she hit her head on the cement floor.

All Rouge could hear was the ringing of her ears. The world was swimming and she could see Mystique over her. She felt a sting in her arm. A needle. She was being drugged.

Gambit moved but things were happening so fast. Rogue was on the ground and the strange woman was kneeling over her.

Gambit pulled out his bo staff. He was suddenly glad he grabbed it. then again He usually carried it at night anyway. He was spinning it and was able to crack it on the back of the woman's head.

She fell forward. She used the same tuck and roll Rogue used earlier. When she regained her feet she saw Gambit with the bo staff spinning and the sunglasses resting low on his nose so that she could see the red on black eyes sparking with energy.

Her eyes got wide. She had not been expecting any one else to be there let alone another mutant. Mystique had not anticipated this and decided to run. Retreat and come back when the opportunity was better presented.

Gambit was going to run after her but didn't want to leave Rogue.

She was slowly rolling onto her side. She pulled the syringe from her arm. It was half full. Only a half dose she estimated. She would be fine. She just needed to walk it off.

Walk.

She remembered being able to do that once.

She couldn't seem to remember how now though.

Gambit was there all of a sudden and was helping her up.

"Come Rogue. We go. It be dangerous 'ere."

"No. It's safe. She won' be comin' back any tyme soon. She wouldn' have been here if she though' Ah wasn' alone. Ya scared her off fer now."

"Jus' da same, Gambit feel better if we be gone when she come back."

He helped her up and out the side door of the building. He saw the Black Loop Bus coming up the road. So he flagged it down.

The bus driver gave them a quick glance but Rogue looked like every other drunk sorority girl he's seen that night. It took barley five minutes before it was at the stop only a block from Rogue's apartment.

By the time Gambit helped her through her door she was feeling better.

"so. . ."

"So what?"

"who be dat woman, cher? An wha' happen?"

"OH. . . Well. . . Ya see, she's. . . Family. Uh she wanted me for somthin' Ah inherited from mah mama."

"Seem little desperate for an inheritance, Cher."

"Well that's what it is. Can' tell ya more than tha truth Sugar."

Gambit grinned at the endearment.

Rogue was telling the truth. It was a family member. Her Mother. And she was wanted because of something she inherited from her mother. Her Mutation.

"Ah kinda have a restrainin' order for 'er but she sometymes still tries ta get me. Ah'm gonna place a call ta tha authorities ta give them a heads up. Why don' ya have a seat."

Gambit saw a futon chair by the window. And took a seat.

Rogue walked across the room and into what looked like a dressing room. She let it close behind her but it was still cracked.

Silently, Gambit snuck up to the door. Rogue never even heard the steps as he pressed his eye to the crack.

He could see a computer screen over Rogue's shoulder. The image of an older man appeared on the screen. He was bald and kind looking.

"Rogue. How good to hear from you. How are your classes?"

"Sorry Professor but Ah ain' got tyme ta talk now. Something happened earier."

"Rogue, is everything alright. You don't look so good."

"Mystique attacked me earlier. . ."

"I'll send the team immediantly. Jean, gather up Storm, Cyclops, and Wolverine. . ."

"Professor, Ah don't think that's necessary. Ah don' think she'll be trying it again any tyme soon. She would only attack if she didn't think she'd lose."

"Still, I would prefer to have some one there with you."

"Ah don' need Logan ta babysit me for tha rest of mah life. Besides Gambit's here."

"Gambit. Who is that?"

"He's a guy Ah met down here. He helped me today."

"Really? What did you tell him?"

"That Mystique is a family member who wants mah inheritance."

"So your only protection is a man you will not trust with the truth?"

"well if ya think abou' it, it is tha truth."

"I would feel better if someone is there. How would you feel better if it was someone a little more covert? Some one who would fit in a little more?"

"Who?"

Professor closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Under his breath he said, "I know I'm going to regret this."

"I'll deploy Jubilation Lee and ShadowCat. They can take a break from their studies. And I'll put Jean and Storm out to investigate the attack and what the brother hood are up too. They'll arrive tomorrow. Stay out of trouble till then. In fact stay out of trouble when they get there to. And get some rest; you look like you're going to pass out."

"Thanks Professor."

The screen went blank and Gambit ran silently back to his seat and closed his eyes.

Rogue stumbled out to the main room. Her eyes were getting heavy and she was dizzy.

"Ah'm goin' ta sleep."

"Gambit'll stay ta make sure dat lady no come back."

"thanks for tha offer Cajun but Ah don' think she'll be comin back any tyme soon. Ah told ya that."

"well Gambit feel better if he know ya safe."

"Ah have friends comin' in tha mornin' they'll watch ova me."

"Well den, Gambit stay til den."

"Fine! But Ah need ta sleep. Ah'm a light sleeper so if ya make too much noise or touch me Ah'll wake up. An Ah'm grumpy when Ah get woke up."

"How dat be different den any oder time Gambit around?"

Rogue just glared at him.

"Okay Gambit stay over 'ere in his chair."

"That's righ' Goo' nigh' Gambit"

She climbed into bed and went to sleep.

Rogue woke up when she realized she could hear the shower shutting off. And a very wet, barely decent Cajun coming out of her bathroom. All he was wearing was a towel, those damn sunglasses and a grin.

"wha' do ya think ya doin'!"

"Gambit needed a shower. He no t'ink you care."

"yes, Ah care. That's mah favorite towel."

"Would ya care ta have it back Cher?"

"NO! Ya can keep it!"

She stormed past him and into the bathroom. He could hear the lock being turned. Like that could stop him.

He could hear her start the shower. Gambit took off the sunglasses and let the sun reach them. He hated to where the sunglasses but it was necessary to hide his identity.

He was about to get dressed when he realized he had left his clothes in the bathroom. She stared at the bathroom door as he heard the shower turn off. He thought about Rogue getting out of the shower. She would be wrapping a towel around her wet naked body. .

Behind him he heard a knock on the door. Lost in his thoughts he forgot he was almost naked and not wearing his sunglasses.

He pulled the door open to reveal a small slim Chinese girl wearing the most horrendous yellow jacket and sunglasses propped on her head. Next to her was a taller girl with her brown hair pulled up into a ponytail.

Both of them were gawking.

The Chinese girl said, "Damn you're gorgeous. Rogue always did have the best taste."

'shit. Gambit still be naked . . . almost.'

The brown haired girl said, "You're a mutant?"

'double shit. Gambit forgot his glasses.'

The Chinese girl. "Oh don't worry. Your secrets safe with us. We're mutants too."

The brunette elbowed her. "we're supposed to be covert. God Jubilee do ya have to tell him everything."

"yeah, well you just told him we're covert. Now he'll suspect something. ALSO, you told him my name, Kitty."

The girls started arguing between themselves. Most of it seemed like gibberish. But he did catch a few phrases that interested him. Professor Xavier. As in Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters. He also heard, "What if Rouge hasn't told him she's a mutant yet."

So Rogue was a mutant too.

He looked over to see Rogue standing in the doorway of the bathroom. Her green eyes connected with his red on black eyes.

This was going to be a long day.

Well every one. That's all I have for one day. It is now almost one in the morning. I've been writing for the last 2 and a half hours.

I'm tired!

Now I have to walk up my hill to my apartment (Rogues apartment! lol!) and go to sleep.

I have to go to play DDR first thing in the morning and then I have sociology at noon.

Then I think I'll look at some other Romy fics so if you guys have some suggestions give me some.

Then I'll work on the next chapter but it may be as late as Friday. But if you guys are diligent and review I may be convinced to get it up sooner

Thank you for the reviews.

Keep reading
