ROGUE DILEMMAS

Rogue had a hard time sleeping through the rest of the night, so she finally decided to get up around five thirty, and start her day, seeing as there was no way she was able to sleep. So, she threw on a pair of sweat pants, some sneakers, and a thin jacket and headed to the kitchen. She wasn't surprised to see Logan sitting there reading the paper and drinking a cup of coffee, but she was a little bit shocked to see Ororo there with him. But Ororo ignored her, so she did the same. Rogue grabbed a cup of coffee, not being able to do much without her caffeine fix. She quickly drank it and headed for the front door to go for a jog.

Remy was having some trouble of his own. When he returned to his room, thinking that he might have made some progress with Rogue, he found Ororo in his room. She was barely covered and laying on his bed. He understood what she was doing, and sure she was beautiful, but that is not at all what he wanted.

"Where were you?" she asked.

"Doesn't matter. What you doin' here Stormy?" She slowly sat up and looked him over with a coy smile.

"What does it look like?" Remy let out a deep breath.

"Chere, Remy told you dis not what he wanted." She began to finger her hair as she stood and began to walk towards him.

"Are you sure? Or is it something else? Someone you can't have? There's no point Remy. You don't know her like we do. She doesn't know you like I do." She told him as she put a hand on his chest and slowly let it fall down towards his pants. But just as she touched his pants he grabbed her hand and pulled it away.

"Don't concern ya Stormy. You know dat dis is not somethin' Remy be wantin'. We friends, dats all chere. Take it or leave it." He let go of her and walked away. She turned to him in a huff.

"You will be sorry. She would never make you happy, not like I would. I won't wait for you forever. Not while she toys with you like you do with her." then she quickly turned away and headed out the door. Remy just crashed onto his bed and fell asleep for as long as he could, desperately trying to forget all that just happened. Well, not all of it. Rogue was definitely something. He hadn't expected her to wake up so fast. Even in her own dream, she was able to turn him down even in her own dream. She was definitely a mystery. She had a strong mind, but he had no idea how strong if she could fight his empathy like that. He only sent the emotions to her, but he had no idea how well it worked until he saw the way she looked at him. He would have her, one way or another, before Joseph attempted to sink his claws into her.

While Rogue was out jogging, something was wrong and she knew it. She was in a park not too far from the mansion, and being how early it was, there was nobody there. So she stopped and looked around. Still nothing. She acted as if she was bending down to tie her shoes when someone jumped out and tried to grab her from behind, but she saw this coming and quickly tucked herself down and rolled just out of her attackers way. As soon as she looked up, she couldn't believe her eyes. The attacker just stood there smiling at her, but then held out a hand to help her up.

"Momma," she nearly growled out, "what'cha doin' heah?" Mystique just smiled as she stood in a disguise that she used to commonly use around her daughter to make herself appear normal.

"What? A mother can't come and visit her daughter? Even if the girl completely disowns you?"

"Ah don't have time for this." she told her and was about to walk away when a hand grabbed her arm.

"Wait, Rogue, please." Rogue looked her over skeptically.

"I need your help."

When Remy finally decided to get out of bed, it had been a few hours, but not too long since he couldn't seem to get Rogue out of his head. This was not a normal occurance for him. Women were something that he didn't think about like this. But he understood that it was because she was different, an enigma. He couldn't understand her. Everything about her was a secret from somebody, whether it was him or the X-men. He knew he had to have her just to get her out of his system. As soon as he was downstairs he heard the front door slam. He winced and went to see what was going on. But all he found was Rogue walking far ahead of him, so he followed. She walked right into the Danger Room and just went crazy.

Remy stood there in the control room watching her. She was completely oblivious to him, but he could feel the surge of emotions running through her. It was like she had taken on the weight of the world, but above all she was angry. He noticed that she had the controls set as high as they could go, on a team level. But she went after everything that moved in the simulation: people, sentinels, mutants, aliens, automatic weapons, the whole arsenal. It was like she was born to fight. He couldn't help but admire, she was so intriguing. But then somebody shot her in the back at full blast. She flew straight into a wall, leaving a large dent as she slide down it. Her clothes were nothing but rags. He tried desperately to turn off the simulation, but he couldn't, he didn't know the controls too well. So he ran down there trying to help her.

She wasn't knocked out, in fact she got right back up, after rubbing her head, and went at her attackers at once. But that didn't matter to him, he threw as many cards as he could, charging them as fast as he could, in an attempt to reach her. He called out to her but knew that she couldn't hear him over the noise. Just before he reached her, the simulation was shut off. Rogue fell onto her knees, and Remy rushed to her side. But not before he looked up and saw Logan in the control room.

Rogue looked so helpless, so hurt. He wished that he could just do something to stop the pain. All of her emotions were hitting him like a ton of bricks. Finally noticing that she was not alone, she quickly stood up with a blank expression and headed to the locker rooms.

"Chere?" he called out to her, but she refused to answer, leaving him there alone. Once she had showered and dressed, she found Logan waiting outside the locker rooms for her.

"What's going on?"

"Nothin' ta worry 'bout." she told him and tried to walk away. But he stopped her.

"You don't just pull this. What's going on darlin'?" She couldn't bare to look at him.

"She's back." was all she could say and walked away. When Rogue got to her room, she found another unwanted guest waiting for her at the door, Joseph. She groaned inwardly.

"Rogue, I was wondering where you were. Would you like to go and get some breakfast." he asked her a little bit to quickly.

"Na thanks, Ah've been up for a while. Kind'a just wanna lay down an' relax."

"Lunch then." she didn't mind him being persistent, but she wasn't caring for his tone.

"Maybeh." she mumbled and headed into her room. After closing the door, she saw Remy standing near her window. She groaned inwardly once again.

"Does anybody heah evah leave meh alone? What in the sam hell do ya want? Ah ain't goin' ta bed with ya." she told him and collapsed onto her bed. Remy just ignored her ramblings and sat down next to her.

"Chere?"

"Would ya quit callin' meh that!" she told him and then put a pillow over her face.

"Rogue? Whats going on?"

"What is this, twenty questions? Ah get 'nough from everybody else. Don't need it from ya too." she replied as she sat straight up in anger looking straight into his covered eyes. Then she looked him over strangely, and took his glasses off and threw them.

"Don't see much use in that. You really think that ya eyes scare meh." he just smirked. Then he touched the side of her face.

"Rogue, where you go dis mornin'?" she just sighed.

"Joggin'. What, it wasn't obvious? I completely destroyed a perfectly good joggin' suit." then she laughed. It caught him totally by surprise. He put his finger underneath her chin and lifted her gaze to meet his.

"If dere be somethin' dat you need, Remy's here." Then she broke out into a fit of giggles and stood up.

"Yeah, Ah need meanin'less sex with a guy Ah found sneakin' inta mah room this mornin'." she told him sarcastically. He was completely taken back now. That's not exactly what he meant.

"Sugah, ya just a hopeless romantic, aren't ya?"
