Not to much to say here, except enjoy the chapter, and thanks dreamer's dawn for proofreadin this.:)
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in here, I've tried to buy them with the few pennies I have, but they laughed at me. So until then I own nothing.
"Y' okay, chere?" Remy asked Rogue. She was staring blankly in front of her as she dropped the cell phone.
"He . . . " She began to say as she fell back onto the bed beside her. Remy got up and went over to her side as quickly as possible.
"What happened?" He asked her. 'She looks like she's gonna break down in tears at any moment.' He thought to himself.
"He was cheating on meh." The words finally left her mouth. She shook her head as tears formed in her eyes. "Not only that, but he lied ta meh when Ah asked him. He said they were only friends." She cried as she placed a hand over her face.
Remy wrapped an arm around Rogue's shoulder and brought her closer to him. "He ain' worth y'r tears, chere. Men like him are lower dan dirt." He told her as he rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.
"We were havin' some troubles before, but Ah never thought he would cheat on meh. Ah can' believe this. After all that time we spent together." She whispered into Remy's shirt.
"Shh, don' cry, chere. Like Remy said before, dat boy ain' worth y'r tears. He too ignorant to know what he has or how lucky he is to be with y'. Y' deserve someone better dan dat; someone dat will be honest with y' and treat y' better." He told her as she pulled away from him and wiped away tears from her eyes.
"Ah just don' understand it though. When we were first goin' out, everythin' was perfect. Then, it's like he grew tired of meh. Probably cause of mah powers." She stated sadly. "He wanted someone who he could touch and have a future with." She bowed her head sadly.
"What do y' mean by dat, chere?" He asked her confused.
She sighed before she began to explain. "If Ah make skin contact with anyone Ah absorb their memories, and if their a mutant; their powers." She told him. She expected him to back away in fear of her. That was how most of the students at the mansion reacted toward her after she absorbed Logan. However, later seeing Bobby with her, the rest of the students started to come around and talk with her again.
"And dere ain' no way y' can control it?" Remy asked her as placed a gloved finger under her chin, tilting her head up to look at him.
"No, Ah've been practicin' ta gain control mah powers, but so far Ah've made no progress." She told him sadly.
"Give it time, chere, it will come around. It takes some longer to control deir powers. Besides, as beautiful as y' are, y' shouldn' have a sad look on y'r face. Give it tme and I'm sure y'll be able to control y'r powers. How long y' have dem?" He asked her.
Rogue's cheeks turned light pink when he told her she was beautiful. Not even Bobby had said that to her. Sure he said she looked nice or good, but never told her she was beautiful as Remy had just said so casually. "Ah've had them for about a year now." She answered the Cajun. She could feel the tears in her eyes disappear.
'Why is it so easy to talk to him? Ah don' even know who this man is. She asked herself as she looked into his red on black eyes. 'Somethin' tells meh he is sincere about what he is sayin'. Maybe one day Ah'll be able ta touch again.' She thought to herself.
"Dat ain' dat long, I know from experience dat it is scary. Y' shouldn' give up though just cause dey can' be controlled on y'r first try." He told her with a warm smile.
"How do ya know what it is like?" She asked him. 'Ah'm sorry, but Ah doubt ya know what Ah'm goin' through.' She thought to herself.
Remy sighed. "When Gambit's power first came out, he couldn't touch nothin' either without makin' it go boom." He explained to her. She raised an eyebrow at him curiously. "Couldn' touch nothin', and soon it caused problems at home. Told my family I wasn' comin' back until I got my powers controlled. Dey said dey could help, but I didn' want to hurt anyone. Was travelin' in Seattle when my powers really went crazy. Was inside a buildin' and caused it to blow up. It came down on moi and hundreds of other people. Dat was when my other power decided to come out den. Could feel all deir pain and sufferin'." He flinched. Those feelings of that day were still inside him.
"How did ya control it?" She asked him. 'That's gotta be terrible ta witness that.' She thought to herself.
"Dis man said he could help moi with my powers. He was able to put up a block on dem and place shields in my head to block out people's feelin's. Can still feel dem, but not as strong as it use to be." He told her looking into her emerald eyes. "But tell moi de truth, chere. Do y' think he cheated on y' because of y' powers or because of somethin' else?" He asked her.
Rogue opened her mouth to reply, but no words came out. The answer started to come to her. "He got tired of meh. We've kissed before and he had no problem with that. He was never scared of meh." She whispered. 'Ah've been blamin' it on mah powers, when it wasn' even their fault for once.' She thought to herself as Remy hugged her.
Remy was about to say something when the door opened. "What the hell is goin' on here?" Logan growled as he entered the room and glared at Remy. He unsheathed his claws and started to approach the two. "What did you do?" He growled. He could smell that Rogue had been crying.
"Logan, he didn't do anythin'." Rogue defended Remy as she got up from the bed and stood in front of the Canadian. "We were just talkin'." She explained. Logan glanced down at Remy, who wasn't saying a word. He knew Rogue was telling the truth, but still wanted to know what was going on.
"Then why were ya cryin'?" He asked, determined to have answer.
"Ah had a fight with Bobby and Remy was makin' meh feel better." She told him.
"What did Popsicle do?" Logan asked protectively. Since the first day Rogue introduce him to Bobby, he didn't trust the younger man. Although, the feeling arose mostly because she was dating him. He didn't know where it came from, but fatherly instincts told him to protect Rogue and make sure any guy she dated knew not to hurt her. 'Guess I'll have to teach that kid a lesson.' He thought to himself.
Rogue shook her head. "Nothin', just a fight." She said to him. She didn't want to say he was cheating on her; otherwise, Logan would kill Bobby.
Women's Room
Scott and Jean entered the hotel room. "I'm going to walk around for a bit." She told Scott, who had picked up the phone and began dialing the number to the mansion.
"Alright, just be careful." He said to her.
"You don't have to worry. I'm just going to walk around the hotel." She said with a smile. She kissed him on the cheek and left the room.
'Maybe I should have gone with her.' Scott thought to himself as someone on the other line picked up.
"Hello, thank you for calling Xavier's School for Gifted Youngster. This is Professor Charles speaking, how may I help you?" Charles asked.
"Professor, it is Scott. We found out some information on Magneto." Scott told his mentor. "Apparently, he is around here. Also, Sabertooth is with him and attacked a mutant a few days ago. We have the mutant staying here with us." He explained.
"I used Cerebro earlier today to try and track Magneto. I was unable to find him, but I did find out that Mystique is around the same location as the rest of you. I advise you and everyone to be careful. As for this mutant, did he or she tell you why Sabertooth attacked?" He asked Scott.
"No, he just said that Sabertooth attacked him one night and he was able to get away without a scratch. Could he be the mutant Magneto is looking for?" Scott asked curiously.
"I'm unsure. I will try to find out some more information tonight and call me in the morning. I am sorry I have to make this conversation short, but I have a meeting with a student." The Professor apologized.
"There's one more thing. There is something I want to get, it's a bit expensive." Scott said to the Professor as he went on to explain the item.
On the Roof of the Hotel
Ororo leaned against the cement ledge of the roof while looking down at the road. She sighed. 'Why did I even think he would have feelings for me? He loves Jean and always will.' She thought to herself.
"Hey, what are you doing here by yourself?" She heard a female voice from behind her ask. She turned around to see her red-haired friend walking towards her.
"Just thinking, that is all." Ororo answered as she looked back down at the road.
"About Logan?" Jean asked with a small smile on her face. She knew Ororo had a tiny crush on Logan since they first met, but she also knew her friend would never admit it. She would always hide her feelings from others and act like nothing was wrong.
"I talked to him." Ororo said quietly.
"And how did it go?" Jean asked her friend.
"He said it was nothing." She answered softly. "I knew that it meant nothing to him. He was just upset and wasn't thinking straight."
Jean shook her head. "He won't admit it, but he does like you. When the jet crashed, I saw him comfort you." She started to chuckle at the next part. "He is as stubborn as you. Reason why you two would fit so well together."
Ororo shook her head. "He doesn't have feelings for me and never will. The woman he loves is you and I could never fill in that spot." She glanced over at Jean.
"He is wasting his time then. The only man I will ever be with is with Scott. He has to realize that and move on, which I think he did." Jean told her friend.
"How are you and Scott by the way?" The white-haired goddess asked the red-head.
Jean gave a small smile. "Before, it was like we were having problems connecting, but seems like that is changing. It is starting to feel like old times, again." She answered.
Ororo smiled at her friend. She hadn't seen her that happy in a long time. "I'm glad for the both of you. You two deserve it."
Unknowing to both women, they were being watched from the alley across the street. A large man with long brown hair was looking through binoculars while a blue-skinned woman stood next to him. "Are they there?" Mystique impatiently asked Sabertooth.
"I see two of them. I'm sure they got the punk inside." Sabertooth growled.
"Let's head back and tell Magneto." Mystique ordered as they both stalked out of the alley and headed down the dark street.
End of Chapter 6
