Wow, thanks for all the reviews. Sorry about the wait, had some writer's block and summer seems to be my busiest time. Boy would I like to know why. I promise to try and keep up with this more though. :-)
ASSEMBLY
So far it had been a good day. Everyone was able to wake up without the world being in danger, and they had all just been relaxing. The morning danger room session had even been cancelled. All that needed to be done were their classes. But that wasn't so bad since there was a mandatory assembly for everyone to go to. Storm had brought her World History class, Beast had his Chemistry class, Gambit had his now French class, Colossus had his Art class, and Rogue had her Music class. Everyone else that did not have a class at the time, still came, well, all except Wolverine. He wasn't one to usually show up to these things anyhow. The assembly wasn't much past Cyclops long lectures to the students about who knows what, since, does anyone ever really listen to his lectures about anything. But afterwards, there was a play planned by Jean's class. It was a play that was actually written by one of the students.
But Remy LeBeau was nowhere near paying attention to the play, nor to his students, as he was leaning against a wall staring at his mystery on the other side of the room. She was standing there watching the play acting as if she did not know she was being stared at, but he knew there was no way that this woman wouldn't know that. She always seemed to know everything when it came to him. Sure, he knew that she had absorbed him before, but, even before then it was like she knew him. She was definitely a mystery he would have the pleasure of unwrapping.
Rogue, however, did not see it that way. She was getting tired of his constant antics. She was afraid that he would end up doing what he does best...blowing up stuff. The thing she was the most afraid of him blowing was what knowledge he might be able to give these X-men who only know so little of her and her past, more than she would like them to. Not even the Professor knew that she could touch without draining someone of their life, of their powers. She always figured it was safer. They knew of what happened with her and Mystique, but they had trouble accepting her, even now. If they knew that she could control it, there would be no turning back, she knew that there would be no more help for her regarding all of this trouble she is having with Carol in her mind. But why couldn't he just leave her alone. She knew why, she was just a challenge. But she refused to give into him. There was no way she could without risking everything. Sure he was attractive, but he was getting on her last nerve. Who did this man really think he was? She desperately tried to watch the play and avoid eye contact with him, knowing that he would end up trying something with her if she didn't.
But it was too late. Her plan did not work. She knew someone was walking up behind and she knew who it was, there was no doubt in her mind. But she stayed there and played dumb hoping he would go away. No such luck.
"Chere, Remy believes dat ya have somethin' he wants." he whispered seductively into her ear. She still refused to turn to him.
"An' what might that beh?" she asked showing her annoyance.
"He find out dat ya took over dat Mechanics class from da Wolverine." but that got her attention, so she slowly turned around and took a step back, not wanting her personal space invaded by the man before her.
"An' what makes ya think that Ah would give it up so easily?" Smirking at her, knowing he was riling her up gestured for her to follow him so that they did not take everyone's attention away from the play. She turned to one of her students who were sitting down and whispered something in his ear. The boy smiled dumbly and nodded as he stood and took her place where she was standing, then she followed Remy out.
As soon as they were outside, she looked at him, placing one hand on her hip, she asked, "Well?"
"Da Professor, he wanted to...expand ya class." she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What'cha mean bah expandin'?"
"Your class be so full and dat waitin' list be so long chere."
"So what does that have ta do with meh? Ya don't need nuthin' from meh if ya doin' ya own class." but his smirk only grew as he inched towards her.
"He wants us to work together, den pick da students for da extra class."
"So ya tellin' meh Ah gotta show ya the ropes. What, can't handle it yaself?"
"You know dose students better den Remy. Maybe he really need ya help." she stomped off muttering a long string of curses. Just as she was about to fly off he called out to her.
"Think ya forgettin' somethin' chere!" she stayed there hovering in the air.
"An' what might that be?"
"You're class."
The mere thought of having to be near him for that whole class just drove her crazy. It was all she could think about through the rest of the play. She knew what he was playing at and she was going to talk to the Professor as soon as she was able to get out of there. There was no way in the world she was going to let Remy win.
