ALLIANCES
Rogue was sitting outside waiting for her brother to come back home. She wasn't very tired, but she wanted to make sure that he got home alright. Her mind wandered over everything that has happened in the past year. She still couldn't understand how she could fall for Remy, she had only know him for a very, very short time, and yet he had an affect on her. She did hope that he was happy. All the time she had been here, she still never really found out too much to understand the whole 'mutant' thing, but she only stayed for Kurt, scared as to what 'momma' would turn him into if she wasn't there. He always was good, and sincere, not to mention sweet. He was everything that Mystique chose not to be. Sure she had her moments, but you always wondered if she ever meant it, or was she lying through her teeth. She smiled at him as he made his way to her.
"So you are good wit zis?" Kurt sat down on the grass with her.
"Ah really don't care. Whay don't ya just go ta that side?"
"Thought that maybe I could really help zis way."
"Yeah?"
"Ja."
"It's not safe."
"I know."
"I wouldn't tell her ya know."
"I know."
"Do ya not know somethin'?" she laughed. He looked like he was really thinking the question over.
"No." they both laughed.
"How 'bout the fact that Ah was followin' ya?"
"No, but you couldn't do zat if I ported."
"But ya didn't." she smiled knowingly. "Ya could'a gotten spotted and momma would'a known."
"Ja. If I did go, would you-"
"I don't know."
"But you stay here for me?"
"Yeah, but look at whay." and she nodded towards the house. He nodded, then he stood back up and went inside. Rogue sat outside for a long time just looking at the stars, just thankful that her head was clear for the moment. She decided that this time would probably be best asleep.
BACK AT THE PARK...
"So will you help me?"
"I think 'bout dis, non?"
"Yes, but I warn you that this is a limited time offer."
"Oui, how do Gambit contact you?"
"There is a number underneath that bench over there." As he pointed towards one across the park.
