Yes, the chapter that took five billion years is finally up. I am so sorry it took so long to get this up. I don't have as many revisions added to this story as I would like, but this chapter has been haunting me for months now and I want it to stop!
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story. Believe me, if I did own anything, the X-Men movies would of been different!
She walked down the stairs and found almost every student and teacher in the dining room. She raised an eyebrow. No one had informed her that there would be a meeting. Everyone was laughing, smiling, and acting like they were having the time of their lives. As soon as she stepped into the room, they all stopped and looked at her.
"What do you want, Rogue?" Kitty rolled her eyes at her.
"Ah came down ta get something ta eat. Ah didn't know there was a party goin' on." She replied quietly.
"This isn't a party. We are having a meeting about you." Bobby told her with a bitter tone in his voice. Ororo stood up from her chair and looked over at Rogue.
"We think it is best if you leave this school before you endanger anyone else." The white-haired woman said in a calm manner.
"Ah haven't hurt anyone and Ah never would want ta." Rogue stated, but everyone gave her a we-know-your-lying-look. Someone in the back of the room stood up. She was unable to see his or her face, but recognized the voice right away.
"What about whatcha did ta me, kid? Ya almost killed me if it weren't for my healin' factor." Logan growled at her.
"Ah didn't mean ta absorb ya that one time. Ah'm sorry." She took a step back as everyone in the room stood up and glared at her.
"Yeah right. Ya wanted ta steal my powers for yourself." Logan snarled. "I should have left ya at the bar instead of takin' a vampire along with me."
"And hopefully she wouldn't have found her way here." Jubilee said as she came into view. "The only reason I was ever friends with you was because I pitied you. You are pathetic." She sneered.
"But ya said-" Rogue tried to say, but Jubilee cut her off.
"-every time I told you we were best friends until the end was all lies. The only reason I told you that was so you wouldn't absorb me. Then I took the first chance I could get and got out of here before you decided to change your mind." Jubilee spat.
"Ah didn't mean ta absorb Logan. Ah hate hearin' the voice in mah head from when Ah do. Why would Ah want ta get more?" She defended herself, but only caused everyone in the room to laugh at her. She felt tears forming in her eyes, but refused to let them fall.
"Oh please. Like we are really going to believe that." Bobby laughed. "You try to absorb everyone you come in contact with. I can't believe I actually let you touch me."
"That is not true!" She shouted at him.
"You're such a liar, Rogue." The new blonde haired student known as Carol Danvers stepped forward. "What about your first boyfriend? What did he ever do to you? Poor boy got stuck in a coma for how many months." She sighed.
"That was an accident!" Rogue yelled as she continued walking backwards as they approached her.
"I would like you to leave this school, Rogue." Professor Charles Xavier told her. "All you seem to do is cause more harm than good. We were a family here before you came and split us up." He told her.
Rogue shot up from her sleep. She covered her face with her hands and felt her the tears on her cheeks. She had really cried during the night.
"Y' alright, chere?" She heard a male voice ask her. Rogue looked around the room and found the man she had seen last night standing by the window.
"It's none of ya business, now go away." She meant to sound more angrier, but it ended up being a whisper.
"What's wrong? Tell ol' Remy about it." He said as he made his way over to her bed.
"Ah don't want ta talk about." Rogue replied as she wiped her face with the blanket.
"Not like Remy is gonna tell anyone. Y'r de only person he can talk to, besides de walls and de stuff animals. Dey really ain' dat talkative." He told her.
"Ah had a nightmare and that was it." She responded and threw the blankets off of her and got to her feet. She stretched her arms out in front of her and yawned.
"Sounded like it was more dan just a nightmare, petit. Y' were screamin' and cryin' in y'r sleep. Thought someone was tryin' to kill y'." Remy said to her.
"It's nothin' but a nightmares. Now just leave meh alone." Rogue grumbled and walked right through him.
"Why did y' have to do dat?" Remy whispered. So far he was hating his job. The girl he was supposed to help was not cooperating. The only person he could talk to was her since no one else could see him. 'Remy gonna be here until dis fille dies and we still won' be makin' any progress until den.' He thought to himself.
"So, where y' goin'?" Remy asked as he followed her out of the room.
Rogue sighed. "No where. Now go entertain yaself somewhere." Rogue growled at him. As they walked down the hallway and towards the stairs, Remy tried to get her attention.
"So, what's y'r favorite color, chere?" Remy asked, trying to make conversation.
'It's bad enough Ah got problems with other people, but now Ah got this guy buggin' meh.' She thought to herself as she ignored him.
"Fine, den what's y'r favorite place to go to?" He tried again and got no response. "Y' know when someone asks y' a question it is polite to answer dem!" Remy grumbled.
"And Ah normally answer questions when the person wasn't tryin' ta annoy meh ta death." Rogue snapped at him.
"Gambit thinks we need to work on y'r people skills. Mebbe dat's why no one wants to talk to y'." Remy told her.
"What are ya a therapist?" Rogue asked in an annoyed voice as they walked down the stairs. 'Apparently ignorin' him makes him even worse.' She thought.
"Non, but mebbe Remy could be one." He mused to himself.
"Ya would make a terrible one." She growled at him.
"Y' would moi, chere." Remy looked hurt, but she didn't pay attention to him. "So, where y' goin'?" He asked.
"Gettin' somethin' ta eat, now be quiet. Ya are givin' meh a headache." Rogue told him.
"Aw, y' know y' like Remy talkin' to y'. Just admit it." Remy grinned at her.
"Ah think ya are full of yaself. And as anyone ever told ya ta shut up?" She asked as she entered the kitchen.
"Mon pere, frei, Tante, cousin, frere, and about another fifty people." Remy replied. Rogue walked over to the refrigerator, trying to hide a smile. She wouldn't admit it, but having someone talk to her made her feel good.
"Ah can see why." Rogue responded as she pulled out some left-over cake.
"Dat ain' healthy."Remy commented and shook his head in disapproval.
"Nothin' else ta eat in the house and Ah doubt it's really gonna kill meh." Rogue told him and got a fork out from a drawer. She then sat down on a stool and began eating her cake.
"Non, it will just go to y'r thighs." Remy whispered, not meaning for her to hear it, but she did.
"Are ya callin' meh fat?" She glared at him.
"Non, just sayin'. Remy think y' have very sexy thighs, meant nothin' by it." He said quickly before she threw the fork through him.
Rogue tried to hide the slight blush that was appearing on her cheeks. Luckily, Remy did not notice. 'He doesn't mean it.' She thought to herself. "Can ya just shut ya mouth for a few minutes please and let meh eat in peace?" She asked him as politely as she could.
"Oui." Remy answered with a sigh. Talking to Rogue was the only entertainment he had. It wasn't like he could leave the mansion and go to strip club. If he did, he would never hear the end of it from Jean.
"Just one last thing." Remy said and Rogue glanced over at him.
"What now?" She asked.
"Where is everyone? Remy thought dat dere were more people here if dis is a school." He commented. They had walked down the hallways and stairs and they had not seen anyone else.
Rogue placed down her fork and looked at the white plate in front of her. "They went out ta the movies. Classes got canceled, so everyone left." She answered quietly.
"And dey didn' invite y'?" Remy asked. So far, he didn't understand the other students at the mansion. He hadn't seen any yet, but it sounded like they all didn't like Rogue and he couldn't figure out why.
Rogue closed her eyes
Flashback
"Come on, Rogue. The movie is going to start in twenty minutes!" Bobby yelled up to her. She ran down the stairs and into his open arms and kissed him.
"Ah'm sorry. Ah just had ta get a new pair of gloves. The other ones had a hole in them." Rogue told him.
"It's alright." Bobby said to her and took her hand in his and looked down at them. "I can't wait until you don't need them anymore." He told her with a smile.
"Ah hope it is soon." She commented.
"Come on you two." Jubilee called to them. "I am not going to miss a Lord of the Rings just because you two want to make out."
"We're coming." Rogue chuckled at the angry expression on her friends face.
End of Flashback
"They use ta invite meh with them." Rogue whispered. "Then it seemed like everything began to fall apart. Bobby broke up with meh and everyone grew scared of meh because of some stupid rumors."
"Dat's just stupid." Remy commented.
Rogue shrugged. "Nothin' Ah can do about it."
Later that Night
Rogue had a pair of headphones on listening to music while she read her book. It was the only way she could tune Remy out. She didn't understand him. The man could talk forever and never strain his voice. Even though he annoyed her most of the day, it was one of the best she had in months. For once, she was able to talk to someone that didn't give her a funny look or run away from her.
Remy sighed. He was bored again. He had thought about leaving the room, but decided against that. Footsteps from outside the room caught his attention.
"Hey, maybe we should tell Rogue we are home?" A boy's voice said from outside the door. Remy walked over to the door and continued to listen.
"Why would you want to do that? She is probably waiting behind the door for someone to come in so she can suck them dry. Besides, have you ever seen her come out of her room during the day or night to do anything besides go to class or get something to eat?" A female voice asked the other.
"No, that's true. I don't get why she stays in there all the time." The boy asked.
"It's because she is too stuck up. She think she is better than us because she can take our powers. That's why no one else likes her." The girl stated.
"Yeah. She really needs to get over herself." The boy said. Remy continued to listen as the two people stopped talking and started walking away. He glanced over at Rogue, who hadn't heard a thing due to the music.
'She don' seem like de type to be like dat.' He thought to himself as she finally took the headphones off and placed them on the floor along with her book.
"Whatcha starrin' at?" Rogue asked as she glanced at Remy.
"Nothin', petit. Just thinkin'." He responded. Rogue raised an eyebrow at him.
"We'll ya are scaryin' meh with that stare. Stop it." She told him and curled up under her blankets. 'And just go away. Ah know ya are not stayin' here forever. Like everyone else, you'll leave meh too. Reason why there is no reason ta get close ta ya.' She thought to herself as she turned off the light and went to sleep.
Remy looked back at the door and shook his head. 'Dey don' understand her, neither does Remy, but at least he is tryin' to. She seems more afraid to get close to people den anythin'. Wonder if dose brats tell her dese thing's to her face or just behind her back.' He thought to himself as he walked over to the window.
"It's gonna be another long night. Really wish I had brought a pack of cards with moi." He whispered to himself.
End of Chapter 3
