Remy smirked and stood up from the bed. "Bonjour chere, long time no see." Remy said as he walked over to Rogue and lifted her right gloved hand to his lips to kiss it.
"More like, long time no call." Rogue corrected him. She had been upset he hadn't called after the first time. Before she had planned on yelling at him, but soon after the first month she began to worry if he was alright or not. Then, when she entered into the second and third month of not hearing from him, she figured he must of found someone else and had forgotten all about her.
As soon as she heard he was back, she was expecting him to come in with another woman. Well he did, but someone that was about eleven years younger than himself. Plus it was the little girl that he had saved from being slaughtered.
"Sorry about dat, kinda got a bit distracted over de past few months." He tried to explain to her. He didn't know she already knew about him taking Sarah in. He lowered her gloved hand as she let it rest at her side and stared straight into her emerald eyes. 'Mon Dieu, how I missed dis site.' He thought to himself.
"It's alright, sugah." Rogue silenced him. "At first Ah was mad at ya." Rogue began to say as she looked into his red on black eyes and almost forgot entirely of what she was saying. "But seein ya back here makes meh realize how much Ah really missed ya." She finally got around to saying.
Remy smiled and pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her to hold her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head into his chest. "De entire time y' were de only thought on my mind." He told her as he let go and looked down at her.
Rogue smiled up at him. "Ah kinda already know that." She told him. He looked at her confused before she answered him. "Ah met the little girl, if Ah'm not mistaken she is the one that ya saved from the tunnels?" Rogue asked him as she pulled away from him. She went over to sit on his bed, and he soon did the same.
"Oui, she be de one dat Gambit saved from de tunnels. Den finally when Remy had enough courage to go back down dere, he found her by herself." He turned away from her and looked down at his hands. "Know from experience dat de streets is no place for a chile."
Rogue placed her hand over his causing him to look away from his hands and back at her. "Must have been rough for ya. Ah know how it is. The first week Ah left mah house after mah parents freaked, Ah couldn't stand it. Just traveled from place ta place, lookin for a place to sleep and get food that was until Ah met Logan." Rogue told him as she squeezed his hand.
Remy nodded. He remembered her telling him about her parents and how they had been afraid of her and wanted nothing to do with her after her powers manifested. 'Now dat Gambit think about it, guess it was better he ended up on de streets dan with his real pere.' Remy thought to himself as a shiver went down his back. He then started to mentally kick himself in the head. 'Great now Remy actually startin to believe what dat bastard had said.' Remy cursed to himself.
He was about to say something when he felt Dirge rub his face against his arm. Rogue looked over, smiling when she saw the cat. "Didn't know ya were a cat person?" She smirked as she changed the subject.
"Don't know why dis feline keeps followin moi around." Remy replied as he began to scratch behind the cats ears, which soon caused the feline to purr.
"Can Ah pet him?" Rogue asked. She wasn't sure if the cat was friendly or not, but after seeing how the cat acted around Remy she was sure it was. Though it was always better to be safe than sorry, one of the lessons she had learned while in the Danger Room.
"Oui, he be friendly." Remy told her as Rogue reached over to pet Dirge. The cat had been around Sarah most of the time and had adored the little girl, but for some reason the cat was attached to him.
As soon as Rogue's hand got closer to Dirge, the cat's ears went back and it started to back away and hiss at her. Rogue pulled her hand back when the cat swatted it's paw at her.
"Dirge!" Remy looked down at the cat in surprise. 'What did I teach y' earlier, dis is Rogue, not Iceboy or One eye. Y' see dem, den y' hiss at dem, not at cherie.' Remy thought to himself as the cat crawled onto Remy's pillow and lied down, it kept his eyes on Rogue as if it didn't trust her.
"Sorry about dat cherie, don't know what's gotten into him." Remy apologized to her as he turned back to her.
"It's alright." Rogue told him as she looked over at the cat, whose tail was swinging back and forth as he watched her. Their attention was turned away from the cat when they heard a knock at the door.
"Hey Rogue, have you seen the new kid, Jono?" They heard Jubilee asked as she stepped into the room and saw Remy sitting next to her. A smile appeared on her face. "See I told you Gumbo would be back. Nice to see ya again." Jubilee said cheerfully to Remy. 'See I was right, I knew he would be back for you.' She thought to herself.
"Good to see y' too, petit'." Remy smirked at the younger girl.
"Ah haven't seen Jono since class yesterday." Rogue answered her friend.
"This is suppose to be his room." Jubilee sighed. "I got a question, have you heard anything about him?" She asked Rogue as she put her hands behind her back.
"Sounds like petit's got a crush." Remy joked as he saw Jubilee blush slightly.
"Looks like ya are right." Rogue smirked at her friend. "But ta answer ya question, Ah don't know nothin about him, besides the fact he is new and his name is Jonathan Starsmore and he is from England." Rogue answered. None of the students had been informed of what the new student's powers were.
"Y' know more den Remy does. All he heard was he was new, his name, and dat Remy be sharin a room with him." Remy told Jubilee.
"Thanks anyways guys, I'm going to ask Logan maybe he knows. See ya later guys." Jubilee said to them as she left the room.
"Ain't dat cute." Remy looked over at Rogue.
"Well she has been a bit depressed lately, it's good ta see her returnin back ta her normal self." Rogue told him as she got up from the bed. "Ah think Ah'm gonna go. Ah got some homework ta do. It's great havin ya back." She gave Remy a small smile as she turned to leave, but before she could take a step, he grabbed her wrist.
"Dere be one thin Remy be wantin to know, cherie." Remy told her as he stood up next to her. She turned around and looked at him. "I know we never officially went out as a couple, but I was wonder if y' wanted to go out mebbe in two days?" Remy asked her.
She looked into his eyes and then closed her eyes. 'Ah had wanted us to become a couple, but then ya left.' She thought sadly to herself. 'And Ah don't know if ya won't just get up and leave.' She added to herself as she opened her eyes as she placed a hand to the side of his face.
"Ah would love ta go out and go on a date with ya, but if it is only temporally Ah don't wanna go. Ah don' wanna go out and then find out the next day ya decide ta leave again." She told him as she lowered her hand back to her side and began to turn away. It had stung her to say that, but it was the truth. She didn't want to wait around until he decided to come back and then take off again.
"De whole time I was gone I had felt somethin' was missin' in my life. Also came to realize dat dere are somethings y' can' change in y'r past, no matter how terrible dey are." He began to tell her, referring to the Morlock Massacre.
"Only thin' can really do is make sure dat nothin like dat ever happens again and to protect de ones dat mean de most to moi." Remy told her as he lifted her chin with two of his gloved fingers. "And y' are one de one dat means de most to moi in de world."
Rogue felt tears coming into her eyes as she waited for him to finish. "I ain' goin anywhere." He finally told her.
"Then Ah guess Ah'll see ya around eight then, hope ya pick a nice place." She winked at him.
Remy raised a eyebrow at her and then a smile spread across his face. "Gambit'll make sure it is to y'r likin cherie." He told her.
"Ah'll be seein ya then sugah." Rogue told him as she left the room.
Los Angeles, California
The cars on the streets below were rushing through traffic to get to their destination as usual. The people on sidewalk bumped into one another as they rushed through the crowd. "Pathetic." Warren whispered to himself in a deeper voice than normal.
He was perched high above the city on top of his apartment building. He looked down and could see everyone as they hurried along their ways, not a care in the world of what could happen to them in any given moment. His eye sight before had been terrific because of his mutation, but now it was far more advanced than before. He could even see the bugs crawling on the streets.
Since he had accepted the stranger's offer he had been filled with anger for people, not mutants, just normal humans. Looking down at them, he felt far more superior to them. "Such a waste of space on this planet." He began to say to himself as he continued looking down.
A few seconds after he spoke a smile appeared on his face. "Time to get rid of the trash." He said as he opened his new metal wings and jumped onto the ledge.
Westchester, New York- The Burger Barn
Kitty, Lorna, Bobby, and Piotr arrived at the restaurant and were seated in the back near a window. Bobby and Lorna sat next to each other on one side of the booth, while Piotr and Kitty sat on the other side.
"I though we were going somewhere nicer?" Kitty asked Piotr as she looked over at her boyfriend.
"This place is nice, I mean we are seated, we got menu's, and someone comes and gives us our food." Bobby spoke up as he opened a menu.
"Next time we will pick the place." Lorna told Bobby as she opened her own menu to look what they served.
"I thought this place was nice." Piotr commented quietly, hoping that Kitty hadn't heard that.
"Yeah, I mean it's not like we took you to Taco Bell, like what Jubilee suggested." Bobby added in.
"It's alright honey, next time we will pick the place though." Lorna told him with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Where did you want to go originally?" Piotr asked Kitty as he looked next to him.
"Somewhere that was expensive and that we had to dress up." Kitty said as she looked the menu over.
"What can I get you?" They heard a waitress say. They all looked up to see the waitress and everyone, except for Lorna, stared at the waitress in shock.
"Like oh my god, Miss. Grey?" Kitty asked as she looked at the red haired woman, whom they all thought had been killed months ago.
