NOT BY CHANCE

Rogue found herself sneaking around one of the abandoned warehouses looking for any clue as to where he might be, if he really is here. She didn't notice how far she was wondering from everyone else, but she knew she had to find out. Suddenly, she found another card on a box of crates, but this one wasn't glowing, so she walked up towards it. But just as she was coming close to it, he stepped out from behind the crates, smirking as always. She was shocked, but tried to hide it. He had changed so much, but, in a way not at all. It's funny how it always amazed her how he managed look good in any situation. His eyes glowed into hers, but she just wished that she could know what was going on in his head.

"Been a long time chere."

"What are ya doin' here sugah?"

"Think dat obvious, non?" she sighed.

"Are we back ta this same ol' thang?"

"We back where ya want, as always."

"Remy-"

"We out in da field chere, it be Gambit here." he told her almost sympathetically, which threw her a little bit.

"Fahne, Gambit." She crossed her arms over her chest, promising herself not to let him get to her.

"Like da new look, den 'gain, ya always been belle." he took a few steps towards her, and she took that as meaning one thing, so she readied herself into a fighting stance. His face dropped into a sad expression, but only for a second.

"What's this all 'bout?" He continued to stare at her intently, with his eyes glowing, and his smirk permanently placed on his face.

"Ya drag meh out here for a fight?"

"Non, Gambit lured ya back here." He did to. The card, he knew she would know it was him.

"What do ya want sugah? Where's Belle? Did she die? Ya come back here for vengence or somethin'? Ah don't understand, what on earth are ya doin' here?"

"None of de above chere. Never would chose Belle over ya." those words stuck her heart like a knife. She wanted to run to him and embrace him in a never-ending kiss. She had to fight this feeling, she knew nothing could happen.

"Dis be 'bout Magneto."

"Ya with him!"

"Oui, what da difference? You wit Mystique, he 'bove her, non."

"No, Ah left them. Ya didn't see meh arrive with the X-men? Ah only stayed with her for Kurt's sake." He didn't show any signs of emotions, just continued to stare. Then he stepped closer to her and was about to move some of the hair from her face when she stepped back all of a sudden. She looked down at the ground.

"Ah can't control it."

"Dis be a bad day, non. Too much bad news." She looked up at him, and he smiled sympathetically.

"Chere," his voice taking a very sympathetic tone, then reaching for that lock of hair again, but carefully putting it behind her ear, "Remy here for you." She showed no emotion, not knowing what to think she looked down at the ground and backed away. She that had to hurt him, so she couldn't look up at him to see the expression on his face. 'He made meh his choice. No, he wouldn't. Belle loved him too much, he wouldn't let that go. They grew up together. Would he? Why would he want somebody he can't touch? Wait, he didn't know.' She shook her head, trying to rid herself of all the thoughts.

"You not be wit-" she looked up at him, tears on the brink of falling down her cheeks.

"No, nevah. Ah just can't believe...you want meh ovah her? How long?"

"Love at first sight."

"But we can't touch?"

"Don't matter none."

"And we're enemies." he smiled finally understanding what was going on in her head. Then he stepped towards her and put his arms around her waist and allowed her to embrace him in a much needed hug.

"None of dis matters, just dat we here now."
