Chapter 16:

Rogue checked over her appearance one more. She was wearing a black jeans and a sparkling green tank top with a black leather jacket wrapping around her. She had just a little make up and had brought her hair down

swept around her shoulders.

Rogue sighed something was missing, but she couldn't figure it out.

That's when she heard a knock on the door. He's here already? Didn't he know a girl needed some time to get ready.

"Go away Cajun AH ain't ready yet!" Rogue yelled loudly.

"Now luv does this accent sound Cajun?" Came a very annoyed English reply.

"Betsy?"

Rogue stumbled over quickly and opened the door and sure enough there was Betsy.

Rogue was about to flash her a smile when she remembered that she was mad at Betsy.

"Did you need something Elizabeth?" she asked coldly and she could see a hurt look flash on Betsy's face before it was replaced by calm indifference.

"I came to tell you the truth." She said softly looking down at the floor. "Can I come in?"

Rogue opened her door and walked over to lean on the edge of her desk as she watched Betsy enter and sit down on her bed.

She gave Rogue an annoyed look as she saw her standing way over there, but just sighed.

"Do you remember when we first brought you here?" Betsy asked.

"Vaguely."

"That's because you weren't entirely yourself." Betsy said keeping her eyes on her hands.

"What do you mean?" Rogue asked suspiciously.

"Well you know when you absorb someone." Rogue shuttered at the thought she hated absorbing someone, but she nodded just the same. "When you first came here you had absolutely no control over it and you had already absorbed so many-."

"Fully?" Rogue asked shocked. Was she responsible for so many?

"No," Betsy answered firmly. "just a partial absorption, but you just had so many memories they were over whelming you and they were fighting over your mind. That's the girl you saw yesterday that was your old mind."

"They did all of that?" she asked quietly, Rogue felt like she was going to be sick.

"When I got to the MPRS, I had to do something. So I picked the only way that would keep you alive." Betsy took a deep breath. "I locked them away from you but they unfortunately had a firm grasp on your memories and soul….So I had to lock them away aswell. That's why you don't have your memories and I forced you out of your mind so you wouldn't have to take this all in."

Rogue stared at Betsy trying to comprehend it all. Betsy was responsible for her memories lost?

But she did do it to save you, it was her only choice to keep you alive.

But her precious past….

That or your life?

That was my life

Then what's this?

Rogue looked at Betsy again and she saw a tear falling down her face.

Betsy PoV (Ok again I got's to change it.)

'that's why you don't have memories.'

There she finally told her one of the secrets that had been eating away at her heart every time she was with Rogue.

Betsy waited for an explosion but there was nothing.

After a while of nothing Betsy was almost wishing Rogue had exploded on her.

This silence was so much worse then an explosion.

Rogue must be disgusted with her.

Betsy couldn't blame Rogue.

If Betsy had told her the whole truth…….Rogue was going to find out one day. Then there would be no amount of excuses that could save Betsy from her hate and disgust.

Then suddenly she felt arms wrapping around her and pulling her close.

They were Rogue's arms.

Betsy was in such a state of shock, she didn't move.

"Ah understand Betsy, it's okay, Ah understand…" Rogue whispered.

Betsy couldn't take it any more…She broke down her walls and let the tears pour.

Rogue didn't deserve this- she just didn't. She was too kind of a person. She opened her heart to any one she met.

Betsy just couldn't do this to her any more. Betsy put her own arms around Rogue and said "Rogue I need to-."

"Before yeh start apoligizin Bets, Ah wanna say somethin'." Rogue said facing Betsy "This is mah new life, and you've been like a mother teh me through all of it. Yeh brought me back into this world and you've been carin for meh eveh since. What's in the past can stay there. The MPRS is my family now, you are my family."

Betsy broke down in a sob, but then it slowly turned into a laugh. "I must look like crap all blubberin and cryin. And look at you you're all dressed up nice. So you did say yes to that Cajun."

"You knew about this?" Rogue exclaimed.

Betsy gave a small laugh and wiped the make up off from under her eyes. "Well you could say I persuaded him to tell me about why he was lookin for you."

Rogue gave a tiny smile then frowned as she looked in the mirror. "but what's missin?"

Betsy looked her up and down then said come here. She took out Rogue's make up and drew dramatic black eye liner on then she took some deep green eye shadow and had it follow the eye liner. Then she took a slight darker lipstick to draw on.

"There, try that with my boots and yeh should look just dandy."

Rogue turned to face the mirror and was astonished at what a difference it had made.

"Wow this ain't half bad and usually Ah don't like make up."

Betsy gave a soft smile and said "Now go make a mother proud. I saw the Cajun waiting in the Commen room."

Rogue smiled then gave Betsy a quick hug and left.

Once Rogue left Betsy's expression fell and small tears fell down her face.

"Oh Rogue you have only read one page, of the novel that holds all my sins."

Remy rubbed his temples trying to relieve the pain. He had been getting head aches all day and they started to get worse tonight. He had already taken three advil, even if he was only supposed to take two.

He had even gone to see Dr. McCoy but he had only said to rest.

Remy glanced in the tiny mirror in the corner again. Yeh look fine jus calm down Lebeau.

Maybe she changed her mind, maybe she was expecting him to come to her room. Maybe-.

"Let's hit it, Cajun Ah'm starved."

His face lit up with a smile and he turned to see a sight that almost made him drop dead.

She looked just like the old Rogue.

The Rogue that he had fought the first day he had met her. The Rogue he had kidnapped to use to get his father. The Rogue that had been controlled by Apoclypse.

What had-could sh-. Non, she couldn't have got her memories back, she still was here waiting to go on thier date.

She gave him a strange look. "What's wrong Cajun Ah was hopin for a reaction like that but you look like you've seen a ghost."

He planted a smirk on his face and said "It's notin chere. You just look so belle."

And that she did. He almost wanted to throw out his plans and-. Non dis is a lady and she deserves a merveilleux night.

"You don't look to bad yourself, Swamp Rat."

Rogue PoV

'Not to bad'. Hell, he looked great. He wore a under his trench coat a white slightly unbuttoned white shirt and like herself he wore black jeans. His hair was brushed and hanging to the sides (A/n I never really liked that whole tied back look it just never really suited him). His eyes seemed even more beautiful as they looked into her own.

He offered her his hand and said "Well then come on chere let's get going."

1234,1234,1324,1234,1234,1234,134,21341234,132,41234,1234,1234,1234,124,1243,12

They arrived to a restaurant a few minutes away. One that Rogue had never seen before, not that she ever had the time to go out to restaurants but she thought that she would have heard of it at least.

It wasn't one of those big resturaunts where if you didn't have the right name or clothes you couldn't get in. But it sure was fancy.

They followed the waiter through a maze of tables and Rogue was surprised when instead of going to a table he went right out a back door and into the restaurant's exquisite garden.

There was one candle lit table with two chairs, right in the middle of an artistically tiled patio.

Rogue couldn't stop her mouth from dropping as she examined the beautiful setting in front of her.

Remy whispered something to the waiter and then pulled out a chair for Rogue.

She gave him a mock scowl and said "You just can't do anything normal can yeh."

He broke out in a large grin and said "Well dhen yeh wouldn't love meh, right chere?"

She just smiled and shook her head at him, then sat down.

Remy sat down in the opposite chair and opened his menu. Rogue did the same, but when she saw the prices she nearly dropped the menu.

"Remy this is way to expensive!" She exclaimed.

"Shhhh, chere Remy has it all taken care of." She sent a 'you better tell me how it's taken care of look'.

He sighed "Dis is a Lebeau restaurant dere's no need for da owner to be payin."

Rogue narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Rogue do yeh trust me." He said as he looked in her eyes.

"Yes I just-."

"Dhen sit back and enjoy cause next time you got the bill." He said with a smirk.

She just rolled her eyes and eyed the menu again.

That's when the waiter turned up with a bottle of champagne. He opened it and poured them each a glass, then he took orders.

After he was done he took the menu's and left.

"So Cajun tell me about yourself, Ah feel like Ah hardly know anything about yeh."

"Again wit da Cajun and da Swamp Rat. How bout all tonight yeh have to call Remy by his name."

She gave a little smile and said "All right Remy, but you can't call me chere either! Rogue all night long."

"Alright, Rogue it is." Remy said a smile on his face. "Why don't you just look into Remy's memories?"

Rogue sighed "One I don't like to do that it invades the person's privacy. Two it's really hard for me to do so I only do it when it needs to be done. Three your righ in front of me that's just a waste of a thought to go digging in your memories."

"Well Remy grew up in Lousianna. He be a thief. He used to be part of the thieve's guild. Then there were some complications and well Remy decided to come to Bayville and…."

He couldn't tell her about Magneto with out her asking some unwanted questions. "Here he is."

"What complications?" She asked mild curiosity hinted in her voice.

His eyes darkened and he turned his head away. "That's a story for another time che-Rogue."

"Why don't you tell me about the MPRS? Well, what Remy don't know already." Remy asked his eyes back to their mischievous selves.

Rogue searched his eyes but then decided if he didn't want to talk about it then she should leave it at that.

"Well as you were told before they rescued me from imprisonment. They said it was some government facility and they had been doing experiments on mutants. So when they heard about it, they knew what they had to do.

"They broke in and saved not only me but two others. Then they wiped the memories of the guards so they would have no memory of ever holding mutants there."

That's why the professor never received message that Rogue was gone. Remy had a feeling that the MPRS only told Rogue half the truth.

But then he wondered how they really did come across Rogue.

"Then Betsy came and fixed me up, they said Ah was going crazy…." She looked down at the ground and her face fell. "Ah accidentally absorbed the mutant watching over meh, her name was Carol. Ah absorbed her fully, she has been in a coma ever since. I visit her every now and then, bring her flowers…But the doctor there, says after it reaches a year long it's doubtful that they will wake."

Rogue sighed. "But now Ah have control over it and it won't ever happen again." She said almost determined.

She looked back up at Remy and continued. "Ah grew to love the MPRS and decided Ah wanted to become an agent instead of going to one of there secret communities."

A soft smile traced her lips as she seemed to drift off into her own world. "It's great what they do for people and they don't need thanks to do it."

She seemed to remember where she was and looked up at Remy, fully smiling. "Then I met you."

Right at that moment Remy felt so guilty. How could he have kept it hidden for so long, he had to tell her.

He opened his mouth to speak. When the waiter with there food came.

He'd tell her after dinner.

1234,1324,1234,1324,12341,2341234,1234,1234,124,1234,1234,1234,123,41234,1,234,1

After supper he had led her to a park and took out a picnic basket inside he had packed tons of different kinds of deserts and pastries and such. Also of course a bottle of wine.

"Remy you really can't do anything normal… This is beautiful." She said as Remy showed her the lake.

Rogue sat down on the blanket Remy had spread and as he opened the wine, she got out all the deserts he had packed. Rogue glanced at one of the box covers. "Baker's Square?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Hey Remy can cook a dinner, but when it comes to desert ….well."

She smiled "It looks fantastic any way."

He handed her a glass of wine and poured himself one.

"To us Rogue?"

"To us."

And they both took a long drink.

Rogue had to give him his credit he knew his wine.

Then all of a sudden her head began to spin.

"Rogue I just, Remy just, has to tell you-." His voice was slured like he had been drinking all night and she knew for a fact he hadn't.

Her vision was doubled and her body refused to move.

"About the X-men- MPRS they be ….lien lien! To …you you're….you're…." She watched as Remy collapsed in front of her.

"R-Rem…" and she didn't realize when she herself started falling to the ground.

Then suddenly the scene became blurry and slowly it fazed out.
