Hi so I'm back! Miss me? Probably not but anyway, this story is mainly based around Rogue and Remy, but I've been watching lately on fics, and I've decided to make the other romances bigger, and other characters have more involving parts to the story.
Anyway Ultimate Rogue website gave the story line 4 stars and the first chapter 4 too for detail and thought.
The main characters are- Rogue and Remy…drrr. But other primary characters are, Kitty, Betsy, Warren, Pietro, Logan, Jubilee, Paige, Chamber, Jean, Scott, Wanda, John, Ororo and maybe a hint of Pietro and X23, other characters will also be added when we are more into the story.
ALSO YOU SHOULD READ THE FIRST STORY, 'ThE jOkEr AnD tHe QuEEn' SO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS ONE MORE. I CAN'T STRES THAT POINT ENOUGH PLEASE READ IT FOR UNDERSTANDMENT! YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU GO ON THE SEARCH ENGINE ON THE FANFIC WEBSITE THANKSxXx
If you decide you're not going to read it then let me say :
Jubilee and Logan have kissed but Logan doesn't want a relationship, Rogue lost her absorbing powers when she was possessed by Monique, Remy and Rogue are together since the last one, and the Professor died aww. I still very much advise you to the first one, but it's up to you.
Thank you for all the reviews!
NOTE: The sequel takes place 6 months after the Professor died. There will be a few flash backs on what happened during the 6 months, but for now we will start it here.

The Joker And The Queen II
Obligation
Scott walked down the halls of the Xavier mansion. He was fully dressed in his uniform which was a skin-tight dark-blue outfit with a skull-cap and a more prominent visor. Gold-lining accentuates gloves, boots and shoulders.
He had been up since the break of dawn; after all he was Scott Summers, leader of the X Men, the man who pushed to hard.
Jean Grey walked out of a room into her boyfriend.
"Ooops, sorry Scott I didn't see you." she apologised.
"That's okay, any excuse to kiss you." joked Scot as he kissed her cheek. Jean smiled sweetly at him.
"Hey, d'ya like my new uniform, I made it myself." said Jean as she twirled around. It was a predominantly violet skin-tight suit with black tight opera gloves and thigh-high, high-heeled boots and a high black collar while rather low-cut in front. Scott smiled in appeal and moved closer to her.
"I think I love you more." he joked as he leaned in and lightly kissed her on the lips. She smiled then got serious.
"So I told the X Men about Paige like you wanted me to." explained Jean.
"Good, but you told them not to tell anyone else, especially not Sam right?"
"Yes don't worry. And I only told Logan, Rogue, Remy, Ororo, Jubilee, Warren, Betsy and Bobby anyway."
"Good, but I don't think we'll need that many darling." said Scott. "Maybe just Rogue, Angel, Iceman and Psylocke, they'll do."
"Sure, but why not Logan, he could be useful?" asked Jean.
"In the nicest way possible of saying this, I hate the guy. He's a laugh sometimes, but I know what he's really after." said Scott, looking at Jean. Jean knew exactly what he meant. She sighed and smiled at her lover.
"Well he can't have me, 'coz I'm in love with the most handsome, kindest man I've ever met." Jean kissed him on the cheek and hugged him.
"I love you Jean."
"I love you too Scott." she kissed him on the cheek again and backed away from him. "I'll go get the team ready." She walked off through the doors. Scott watched her leave and got the velvet box out o his pocket. He smiled and out it back in his pocket.

Kitty Pryde walked out of her bathroom with a towel and one wrapped round her head. She walked over to her dresser to get out her underwear when she looked upon a picture of her and Rogue. Sometimes she mist having Rogue as a roommate, it seemed as though she had less people to depend on.
She looked at another picture, it was of her and Lance. Lance…he was the best person she had ever met. Yet, in a strange way, she felt like he was sucking the life out of her. But she didn't want to back away from their relationship, because she felt as though they had a future together, no matter what.
She sighed and sat on her bed, now depressed. Ever since the Professor passed on, she had been alone, she had nothing to do. Everyone stayed in, and they all had people to be with. Kitty had no friends outside the Xavier Mansion. Then there was Lance, the only person who kept her sane from boredom.
There was a knock on her door. Kitty walked over to it.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"It's Bobby, I was wondering If I could speak to you." Kitty sighed.
"I can't, I'm in a towel, can't it like, wait?"
"No, I have to get this off my chest." Bobby said.
"Well just talk through the door." she said.
"…O…kay…" he said nervous. "Kitty, I know we didn't work out, and I know we didn't even begin a proper relationship after the Professor died, but that doesn't mean I'm not here for you. You know you can always talk to me." Kitty looked down at the floor.
"What makes you think I like, need to talk?" she asked, angry.
"'Coz ever since the Prof passed on, that energy of yours faded. And now you've become this depressed girl, who's desperate for a man, who settles down for a brotherhood lackey…" said Bobby. Kitty's face got even angrier. She opened the door quickly; Bobby was stood there, leaning against the door frame. She punched him in the face as hard as he could, knocking him in the floor. He rubbed his nose and looked up to Kitty. "What the fuck was that for!"
"I am like, not depressed, I so am the same Kitty! You're just jealous 'coz you still like me!" she shouted.
"Kitty, I used to, but now I just…don't." he admitted. He got back off the floor. "I'm sorry; it was totally out of line to say that to you. I'll go." he walked off down the hallway. She sighed deeply and put her head firmly back on the door frame. Was he right?

Rogue came into the blackbird wearing her uniform. She had tight red cargo pants, a red tube top with a stylized red and yellow X on the chest, and separate red shoulders and sleeves with large red and yellow X's on the shoulders.
Gambit, who was already on the blackbird looked over to her and smiled.
"Hey chere." he said as he came up to her.
"Hey Rems, why are you up 'ere, ya not comin' with us." said Rogue.
"Well dats nice o' ya." said Remy offended.
"Sorry, ah didn't mean t' sound so harsh."
"I jus' came up here t' tell you to be careful. Call Remy twice a day an' 'f anyone t'ings wrong, call him." said Remy slowly so should understood. Rogue just laughed.
"Aw, ya so cute when ya worried." said Rogue as she kissed his lips. He pulled her into him and Rogue lt entry for his tongue. It was like they were having a tongue war. When they separated Remy just held on to her. She smiled as she rested her head on his shoulders.
She looked into his red on black demon eyes she loved so much, which drew her to him in the first place.
"Ah love you Swamp rat, don' worry 'bout me." she said.
"How can Remy not worry? After all you are de love o' his life." said Remy truthfully as he looked her in the eyes seriously. "Every time we go on a mission, someone gets hurt, an' Remy jus' scared case it's you." Rogue put her hands on his face.
"Ah swear, nothing's gonna happen, we're jus' gonna see a gal 'bout her powers." said Rogue. Remy smiled and kissed her lips lightly. She jumped up and Remy held onto her. SO her feet were close to the ground, but just not close enough. She smiled and made out with him away.
"Wow, public display of affection here, cover ya eyes people." joked Bobby as he entered the blackbird with only Rogue and Remy in it. His costume consisted of a black bodysuit accented with wavy bands of silver-blue and purple metal. Rogue laughed and jumped down from Remy. Remy walked over to him.
"You look after her ya hear!" he shouted.
"Wow dude, I think she can look after herself, but yeah after all she is my friend." said Bobby putting his arms up in defence.
"She means everything t' moi, an' 'f she comes back with all scratched an' bruises-"
"-Okay Remy ah think that's enough." said Rogue in a funny tone. "Ah'll b' fine. Ah know this is out first mission without each other since…the Professor passed on, but ah'll b' okay." Remy hesitated them sighed in relief.
"Okay sweetheart, jus' b' safe okay?"
"Ah promise." she kissed him on the cheek. Remy smiled and went out of the blackbird.
"You are happy right?" asked Bobby. Rogue turned to Bobby and smiled.
"Happy? No. Blissful, yes." she said smiling. She sat in her seat and out her seatbelt on. "Ah love him Bobby, an' he loves me, that's all ah can ask for." Bobby smiled.
"Anyway, when do the other X Men get here? We totally look like idiots sat her on our own." said Bobby.
"Hey, sorry I'm late guys." said Cyclops as he entered the blackbird. He looked around for a second. "Where's everyone else?"
"How are we 'spose t' know. We were here on time like some people." said Rogue.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm a bit late me and Warren we're just…talking." said Betsy as her and Warren came on the blackbird panting.
"Yeah whatever, more like doing it!" said Iceman. Rogue laughed while Betsy and Warren just gave him a dead eye.
"Actually, we weren't, we were discussing things." said Betsy as she took her seat and strapped herself up.
"Where's Jean?" asked Warren.
"I don't know, but they better have a good reason for being late." moaned Scott.
"Ah'm sure they'll b' along any minute now." said Rogue.
"Goodness me, I am so sorry I'm late." said Jean as she burst through the blackbird doors.
"Right on time." Rogue said to herself.
"Me and 'Ro we're just having coffee and I remembered the mission." said Jean as she kissed Cyclops on the cheek and took her seat at the very front next to Scott to control the blackbird.
"Okay folks, here we go." Scott turned all systems on and geared the blackbird into ignition.

Jubilee entered the kitchen with her hot chocolate. She sat on the stool and opened the newspaper in front of her. She looked at the headlines and scammed through the pages.
"Ya should start reading the actual columns." said Logan as he came into the kitchen. Jubilee looked up and smiled.
"I only really wanna see what they have to say on mutants, plus fashion and the latest gos of celebs." explained Jubilee. Logan smiled and put a cigarette in his mouth. "Hey, ya not 'spose to smoke in here, you should know that."
"Yeah well know ones here who doesn't like it so I think I'll be okay." he joked. Jubilee smiled and jumped off the stool. She took he cigarette out of Logan's mouth.
"Okay, I don't like it." she said. Logan smiled and took it out of her hand. He put the lighted end on his hand and dug it in. He flinched for a moment and then took the cigarette away from his hand and in the bin. He then smiled at her, and Jubilee started to laugh. "Show off."
"Hey, I haven't had a decent fight in ages, I have to use my power for something." joked Logan.
"So how've ya been lately tuff guy? Haven't seen ya around the mansion for a while." asked Jubilee.
"Well I've mostly been in the danger room working my ass off. There's been no evil villains out on the loose so I've been bored."
"And you want there to be evil villains?" asked Jubilee.
"Don't get me wrong I don't want there to be the next mutant war, it's just, I miss the old days." explained Logan.
"…When the Professor was around…" said Jubilee sadly. Logan sighed.
"We had more enemies then…now it seems like his death brought mutants peace, and I can't even stand to think that's true."
"He died…and I guess we have just gotta get over that." said Jubilee.
"Come 'ere Jubes." said Logan as he pulled her into him. He held her tight and smiled…he missed her.

"So this is the where Sam used to live?" asked Bobby.
"Yep, nice neighbourhood ya probably think. But ah used t' visit Sam up 'ere every so often, an' everyone hated their family." explained Rogue. Scott, Jean, Betsy, Rogue, Bobby and Warren stood in front of Sam's old neighbourhood in Kentucky.
"So should we go check out the Guthrie's?" asked Jean to Scott.
"Well first of all, let's get some information from the town's people. But Rogue and Warren, you two go down to the Guthrie's and see if Paige is there. I think they'll like to see a friendly face." ordered Scott. Rogue and Warren nodded.
"Come on War." said Rogue as she and Warren took flight into the air.
"So d'ya know this kids power?" asked Betsy.
"No, but whatever it is, she belongs at the Xavier institute." said Scott.
"Is she hot?" asked Bobby.
"Bobby, she's only 16!" said Jean. "And you're 22!"
"Wow sorry, I didn't know!"

Ororo was watering her plants in her greenhouse with her powers. She looked at one plant which was dead. She sighed and swiftly started to dig in to pull out the roots.
"Hey." said a voice. Ororo turned around and saw Logan.
"Oh, hello Logan, I didn't expect to see you today." said Ororo.
"Why you thought I'd ignore the most gorgeus woman on the planet?"
"No! I just thought you were going on the mission with the rest." said Ororo as she turned back round to her plants.
"Summers said I wasn't right for the mission, normally I'd get payback by stealing his bike or car, but this time I didn't mind." he said sweetly as he walked behind Ororo. She kept digging her hands into the soil, not really paying attention to it.
"And…ur…why was that?" she asked, even though she knew the answer. She could feel his heat on her back, he was suffocating her. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"I think you know why." he whispered. Ororo immediately shoved him back and walked over to the other side of the room with her back turned to him. She crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she looked down to the floor.
"Logan stop!" Ororo shouted. "You can't keep doing this to me!"
"Doing what!" he asked as he moved a bit closer. Ororo turned around.
"Trying to have a relationship with me, we just don't go well together."
"But we do 'Ro, it's like with you, you can look after me and I can look after you." explained Logan. "We made love and everything 'Ro, I know where you like to be touched I know how sensitive you are, I know-"
"-That isn't the point Logan. I don't love you, and I never will. We're good friends, but that is it for us." explained Ororo.
"But we're more than that…I know we are."
"But we're not. Logan, I can imagine us together. I wouldn't give you breathing space, you would feel like you're personality is slipping. Me and you are opposite people, we just don't belong." she explained. Logan was silent for a moment.
"Is this about Jubilee…" he asked.
"…No." she answered honestly. He believed her right away. Ororo was many things but she was not a lair.
"So you are doing this genuinely?" he asked, not wanting to know the answer.
"Yes." she said simply, not able to look into his eyes. "But aside from that, I feel guilty. Jubilee loved you and I have known of this love she has for you. I don't even love you yet I slept with you, yet Jubilee loves you and you give her nothing in return." Logan pus his head down and sighed.
"Jubilee is a great girl, but I can't love her…I just can't."
"The age?"
"No, defiantly not that. Face it I'm like 200." joked Logan. "It's just, I care for her too much to let her get dragged into my past."
"Yet I'm okay." joked Ororo.
"You're different 'Ro, ya can look after ya self, Jubes can't." Ororo smiled and walked past Logan. As she did she whispered in his ear.
"What do you think she's been doing all her life?" then she exited. Logan out of implusivness shouted back to Ororo.
"I'm not gonna give up on ya 'Ro!"
"Maybe so, but you will have to."

Rogue and Warren landed on the Guthrie's front lawn and walked up to the door. Rogue rang the bell while Warren waited.
The door then opened and Thomas Guthrie was there.
"Rogue, that you girl?" he asked.
"Sure is Mr Guthrie." she said smiling.
"Well how 'bout this. We don' see ya fo' a year an' then here ya are on our doorstep. Please you an; ya friend come in." said Thomas. Rogue and Warren smiled and walked into the house.
"Rogue!" shouted a young girl. She bounced onto Rogue and hugged her.
"Well if it isn't Elizabeth. How ya been?" Rogue asked.
"Ah've been great, papa said ya wouldn't visit no Sam's at the institute." said Elizabeth. Rogue looked up to Thomas and he smiled embarrassedly.
"Kids, they got a mind of there own." said Thomas. "So what brings ya up 'ere Rogue?"
"Actually, ya daughter does sir." said Rogue.
"What?"
"Paige Guthrie? We've detected mutant abilities in her sir. Cerebro picked her up and we wish to her." explained Warren.
"Now see here X Men. I let you take away mah Sam 'coz he was in a lot o' trouble, but ya not takin' away mah Paige. She jus' got her mutant powers, an' she can control them.!" shouted Thomas.
"Look Mr Guthrie, all we wan' t' do is talk t' the gal, we're not gonna tell her about the institute." said Rogue. He looked at her questionably. "Ah promise."
Thomas looked at her and Warren. He sighed.
"Fine, she's I the back yard. But if you tell her about an opening at the institute-"
"Don't worry sir, we don't intend to yet." said Warren as he and Rogue walked past him. They entered the back yard to see Paige playing with their dog and her brothers, Joshua and Lewis. Paige looked to Rogue and smiled.
"Oh mah Gawd, Rogue ya back!" Paige jumped onto Rogue and hugged her. "Why didn't ya come visit after Sam left with ya?"
"Ah was busy kid, ah'm sorry." Rogue said. "We need t' talk t' ya Paige."
"Ah know what ya wanna talk about…me being a mutant." said Paige.
"Yeah, but only that." promised Warren. Paige smiled.
"What's there t' talk bout, ah love being a mutant!" shouted Paige in excitement. Rogue and Warren exchanged glances. "Ah know ah'm not meant t', but ah really wanted t; b' a mutant anyway. Ah shouted t' God t' make me a mutant, an' he did." Rogue smiled.
"First time fo' everythang."
"So what is your power Paige?" asked Warren.
"Ah'm able to shed the outer layers of mah flesh at will, revealing a new skin underneath formed of different materials such as rubber, glass, diamond, and various forms of metal, or to achieve metabolic changes in mah template form, such as removing caked up dirt and grime or shedding wounded layers of tissue." explained Paige.
"Pretty impressive." said Warren. "You certainly know a lot about your power in such little time."
"Ah did mah research." said Paige looking at Warren strangely. "Who's this guy anyway?"
"Oh sorry. Paige this is Warren, Warren Paige." Warren smiled at Paige and Paige snorted at him.
"Anyway, ah doubt ya came all this way jus' t' find that out. What d'ya really want?" asked Paige.
"Hey Paige, ya playing or what?" asked Lewis.
"In a second Lew." said Paige. Rogue looked at Paige seriously.
"Ya father didn't wan' us t' tell ya kid, but we got a place fo' ya at the Xavier mansion." explained Rogue. Paige's mouth opened wide.
"What…the Xavier mansion…the Xavier mansion?"
"The one and only." said Warren.
"Oh mah gawd, an X Man?" she asked.
"Well no, not yet. But one day ya could b'." said Rogue.
"Wow, this is an honour. Sam always said ah would get t' visit him, an' now ah get t' actually live with him!" Paige shouted in happiness.
"So d'ya wanna?" ask Rogue.
"Hell yeah!"
"But you need to have your father's permission though." said Warren.
"What! He'll never let me go! He didn't want Sam t' go, but after all Sam went through with the police and the neighbours, he had to. Me though, ah'm his eldest daughter! No one knows ah'm a mutant, so he won't let me go…." Paige started to cry a little.
"Aw sugah, don' cry." said Rogue.
"But ah've always wanted to be an X Man, even if it's not right away…"
"Well maybe he'll say yes." said Warren.
"Something tells me it's not gonna b' that easy…" said Rogue to herself.

The brunette peered over the fence, looking at the children play, looking at the blonde talking to Rogue and a boy with an unusual broad back. She clenched her fists tight, wanting to grab the 'skunk', she didn't want to wait…but she had to…she had to wait for the moment she could grab her.
Maybe she could wait until the skunk was on her own…maybe then she could grab her and take her to Monique.
Hannah baked away from the fence which was the Guthrie's next door neighbours. Hannah looked down to the elder man and woman on the grass, blood on their necks and their eyes wide open. Hannah walked over to their corpses and took her dagger out of the man's neck. She walked off, ready to get the 'skunk'.

So what did you think? I advise people who haven't read the first one to read it because it'll make this story make a lot more sense to you. Anyway, please review otherwise I won't update…sorry. But I do want to thank the people who did review once again, thank you. Don't worry, I know this seems a little none action, but the next chapter is full of danger and action.
Next Chapter – Supremacy – Hannah had had enough of being in the shadows, and it's time for a blast from the past. Ororo can't keep a secret forever, while Logan and Jubilee go on a picnic, but things don't go so well…
REMEMBER TO REVIEW PLEASE!
