Rogue came out of the cubicle and seemed extremely glad to be back in her normal clothes. She felt a lot better knowing that she was all covered up and so couldn't hurt anyone. She had been terrified that she would accidentally touch one of the customers and then what would happen. Everyone would know she was a mutant and that she had killed her father. "Ah'm not really sure he is dead though." She thought trying to clam herself. She slipped her gloves on and was just about to leave the bathroom when Tabitha walked in with a huge grin on her face. Rogue didn't like the look of that grin but she didn't say anything. Tabitha took her time sitting down on the ledge and fixed her skirt and after about a minute or two she said "You have to take out the trash and leave it near the dumpster near the backdoor. Rogue grumbled but left to take out the trash. She picked it up and pushing the door went outside. She kept the trash in the bin and was about to leave when she felt like she was being watched. She turned around and saw him leaning against the wall. One leg was on the wall and the other one was resting on the ground. He lifted his head and even though it was still 2 in the afternoon she could still see his fiery red eyes glowing.
She stood there awkwardly for a minute and turned to go back inside when she heard a soft voice saying "Bonjour chere." Rogue whirled around and saw that he had moved closer. He reached out and grabbed one of her gloved hands and kissing it lightly he said, "Remy would very much like to hear the pretty belle's name." Rogue stood there unsure what to do. No one had ever talked to her like that before and so she didn't know how to respond and just said "Rogue." He was about to respond when Rogue heard a crash inside and Kitty's voice screaming her name. Rogue pulled her hand away and said "Gotta go." Before she turned around and disappeared through the door. Remy stared after her and repeated "Rogue" softly. He turned and with his hands in his pocket her climbed onto his bike and sped away.
Rogue practically ran into the kitchen praying to god that Kitty was okay. She didn't notice where she had been going and stepped right into the slippery mess on the floor. She slipped and closed her eyes waiting for the blow as her face connected with the floor but instead she felt someone's hand around her waist steadying her. She turned and saw a grinning 5'9 teenager with silver hair standing behind her. He wasn't half bad looking "but not nearly as gorgeous as Remy." Rogue thought and pulled herself away from him. She mumbled an embarrassed thanks and when she was about to excuse herself Rogue saw Kitty laughing and talking to Tabitha and another girl Rogue didn't recognize. Rogue thanked him again and left to join the three girls. She looked a Kitty crossly and said, "What was the big crisis? Why'd yah scream my name?" Kitty giggled and pointed to the slippery goo that Rogue had slipped over and said, "That was the crisis. We just like needed your help to like clean it up." Rogue looked like she would have liked to kill Kitty and so Tabitha pulled Rogue aside and said "Rogue this is Wanda. Wanda this is Rogue. Oh and this is Wanda's brother Pietro." Pietro grinned cheekily and waved at her. Rogue smiled back and before she could say anything Tabitha continued "They moved here just today. And they decided to dine at the fabulous Crab 'n' Conch this fine afternoon" said Tabitha putting on a posh accent " and Wanda here spotted the help wanted sign and went into the kitchen to ask for directions to the office. That was when her brother knocked over the prawn mush thing over there and now we've got to clean it up."
"I'mreallysorryaboutthemess." Said Pietro.
The three girls just stared at him with blank expressions on their faces and Wanda laughed and said, "He said he was sorry about the mess. Slow down Pietro."
Pietro shrugged and said, "So canyou please tellus wherethe officeis?"
Tabitha gave him the directions and the twins left the kitchen. Tabitha and Kitty and Rogue cleaned up the mess and just as they were about to finally leave Wanda came in smiling and said "We both got jobs. We start tomorrow. I'm a waitress and Pietro's the cook. Well maybe not the cook but hey he's got a job."
"Great. See you two tomorrow then." The three girls waved as they left to go back to the apartment.
