"Hey Rogue. Pick up NOW." The yell carried across the room and Rogue cursing pushed her locks of hair back as she tried to balance the heavy tray in one hand long enough to pick up the drinks. She pushed through the crowd and when she finally reached the pick-up counter and heaved a sigh of relief as she laid the tray on the counter. This was her last table for the day and then she could finally leave. It was amazing how many tourists came to the hotel everyday. She couldn't understand why. She had eaten in a tiny little café serving only the local food and it was great.

She stood waiting idly for her last customers of the day to leave so she could finally get back and slip into her pajamas and laze around the rest of the day in front of the TV. She saw that the customers were finally done and hurried to hand them their check. But as luck would have it just as Rogue handed in the money at the register and turned to leave Wanda pointed at a man who had just walked in and said "you're not quite done yet. Just one more left."

Rogue stared at the young man in disbelief. It was Remy. There was no mistaking his trench coat or his cheeky grin as he spotted her and waved enthusiastically. Rogue felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as Wanda stared with interest at Remy who was still waving at Rogue. Wanda raised her eyebrows slightly and Rogue just shrugged and Wanda laughing left to help Kitty out with the cleaning.

Cursing under her breath Rogue walked as slowly as she could manage towards the table and she stopped as she noticed the smile on Remy's face. It wasn't his usual smirk or even his stupid flirty grin but an actual real smile. He seemed genuinely happy to see her and Rogues anger melted slightly as she cautiously made her way to the table.

"Hi chere. Long time no see. Remy's been wondering why the chere's been avoiding him lately."

Rogue murdered something under her breath and avoided looking at Remy as her whole face flushed crimson and thrust the menu towards him.

Remy surveyed her silently for a minute and said " Look Remy knows that you t'ink he be a player and all but why don't you just give Remy a chance. Maybe Remy'll prove you wrong."

Rogue looked up startled. This was the last thing she had been expecting him to say. She had expected to hear some flirty comment and this had just caught her off guard. She looked at Remy and realized that he really meant it and she nodded her head slightly and Remy smiled and said "How about Friday at 6 chere. We'll meet over here."

And before Rogue could say anything he had gotten off his chair and was heading towards the door. Rogue stared at the door for a few seconds and then turned back to go change.

AT THE APARTMENT.

Tabitha stared with interest at the 2 girls who seemed dead to the world. That wasn't too weird after the horrible day they had had but what interested her were the goofy smiles that the two girls were sporting. She leant back in her seat and stared gloomily at the ceiling and just then the bell rang and she got up to get the door. It didn't seem as if the other two had even noticed that it had rung. She tried to open the door but it seemed to be jammed and she struggled with it for a while as the two girls watched her with slightly amused looks on their faces. Frustrated Tabitha let go of the door and concentrated for a minute and the girls gasped as they saw the tiny fireworks forming in the palm of her hand. She kept them near the lock and it exploded and the door hung on their frames looking very frazzled but Tabitha didn't notice as she dragged their guests inside.

Rogue and Kitty smiled as they saw the looks on Wanda and Pietros blackened faces as they stared at Tabitha. Noticing for the first time that everyone in the room was now staring at her Tabitha settled herself comfortably on the couch and as John and Lance walked in after a while having heard the explosions she began by telling them about her powers. After a long pause after Tabitha was done Kitty showed off her own powers by phasing her hand through the couch. And soon everyone was showing off his or her own powers. John came pretty close to setting the house on fire but Pietro managed to put out the fire.

Rogue had stayed quite during the whole time. She hadn't told anyone about her powers yet. She felt a sick feeling in her stomach as she saw the others demonstrating their powers. Unless they wanted to hurt people with them they couldn't really. But hers would kill a person if they so much as touched her. She shook her head ruefully and noticed that Wanda had been very quite too. She decided not to push her. Maybe Wanda wasn't ready to talk about hers yet. Rogue knew that she definitely wasn't.
