Remy yawned once again as Rogue was doing her homework. There was nothing to do. He tried talking to her, but she shushed him. He had to wait until she was done until he would be able to speak to her. He just stared out the window watching the birds. 'Gambit wish dere was more to do dan dis. He don' like sittin' here doin' nothin'. Mebbe dat bitchy femme will come and start trouble.' He thought to himself and then smirked. 'And chere can punch her in de face to shut her up for good.'

Rogue looked up from her homework. She laid on her bed with her book to one side and her notebook to the other. She stared at Remy for a moment and then went back to her homework. 'He's is kinda handsome.' She thought to herself, trying not to make herself blush thinking about it.

She smiled to herself as she wrote down an answer. 'Also, how he tried to hit Bobby was kinda funny. No one ever stood up for me like that besides Logan.' She thought to herself, remembering her friend who brought her to the mansion. She sighed as she began to wonder when he was coming back, or if he was ever coming back.

Remy got bored at starring out the window. There was only so much a dead thief could handle. The Cajun never liked having to stay in one place. He would usually be wondering around the streets pick pocketing a few unsuspecting people, go out and gamble with his friends. 'Wonder if dey miss me?' He thought to himself, remembering his friends and family.

"Ah'm done now." Rogue said as she closed her book and notebook, placing them on her night stand.

"About time chere, dis Cajun was coming close to losin' his mind." He smiled at her. "By de way, Remy be wondering somethin'." He began to as he walked over to her dresser where two pictures sat on top of it along with a mirror and jewelry box. "Who dese people?" He asked, pointing at the two pictures.

Rogue got off her bed and walked over to her dresser. She picked up the first picture. It was taken only a month ago. "That's mah friend, Jubilee. She was here for a while, but she had decided to leave the mansion when she was offered a job in California." Rogue explained to Remy. "We were roommates, she treated me like a normal person. Never once did she ever say a thing about mah mutation. She was like that with everybody."

"Y' still talk to her?" Remy asked her, while still staring at the picture of Jubilee. Rogue smiling in the picture.

"Yeah, sometimes she will write ta meh and tell meh what she has seen and done. Ah kinda wish Ah went with her." Rogue said as she placed the picture back down on the dresser.

"Den why didn't y'?" Remy asked, this time looking at Rogue.

Rogue looked over at the picture next to it. "Ah was afraid if Ah left, he would come back." Rogue picked up the picture of her and a man, who looked like he was avoiding the camera and had a cigar in his mouth.

"This is Logan. He saved meh when Ah didn't know where ta go or do. Ah met him up in Canada and then we ended up here. He never thought anythin bad of meh. Even when Ah absorbed him." Rogue said sorrowfully.

"What happened to em?" Remy asked, now staring at the picture she held in her hands. 'What idiot would leave her?' He thought to himself.

"He had left and then came back. He was in love with the one teacher here, but then when she died he was heart broken Ah guess and decided to leave again. He never calls or writes. Ah worry sometimes if he is alright or not." She said, trying to hold back a few tears that were forming in her eyes.

Remy didn't know what to say at that moment. He watched her as she placed down the picture next to the other one. They then heard a noise coming from the outside. "Merde, what's dat?" He said, going to the window to see the ground open up and a jet come out. 'Dere's somethin' y' don' see everyday.' He thought to himself as the jet took up into the sky.

"Ah guess they got called on a mission." Rogue said as she walked next to Remy and looked out the window. He looked over at her confused. "It's long and complicated. Basically, this is a school, but the teachers and other people here are part of a group called the X-Men. They go and stop other mutants and other things from attacking society." She explained it, short and simple.

"Remy heard of dem before." He told her as he stepped away from the window. She looked surprised, she thought no one had known about the X-Men.

"Liberty Island?" She asked him, he nodded yes. 'Of course, most of the world had seen that on television.' She thought to herself.

"Y' here at de time it happen?" He asked. He was trying to keep her talking, despite it being past ten at night.

"Yeah, Ah was there." She said, not wanting to tell him she was the one being used during the Liberty Island incident. She hated thinking about it, it only made her think she was nothing important except to be used by other people. "Well Ah gotta go ta bed now." She said quickly, not wanting him to question any further about it.

"D'accord." Remy sighed. 'Another night of doin' nothin'.' He thought to himself, thinking of the past night where all he could do was walk around her room and look at her stuff. 'Couldn' dey at least let moi look through de draws.' He thought to himself, then shook it off. 'Dey make Remy stay 'ere for eternity if dey heard dat.'

"Night, swamp rat." Rogue said as she turned off her lamp and went under the covers.

"Night, river rat" He said back to her, smirking as she looked over at him.

"What did ya call meh?" She asked as she sat up in bed.

"Y' get away callin' Remy swamp rat, so he be callin' y' river rat or y' prefer de Mississippi river rat." He smirked over at her. Being down south, it was easy to detect where other's had come from. He had known a few people that had been from Mississippi and talked the same as her.

Rogue smiled at him. "Night." She said finally and laid back down into her bed to go to sleep."By the way, it's Marie." She said as she fell back asleep.

Remy stared down at her as she slept and smiled at the fact she finally gave him her real name. 'Mon Dieu, she really is beautiful when she is asleep and awake.' He thought to himself as he watched her. He didn't notice a light from behind him, coming from the mirror.

"Remy." A female voice called through the mirror. It scared him at first, thinking someone else had been able to see him. He went in front of the mirror to see who had called his name.

"Don' be doin' dat Jeannie. Y' be givin' ol' Remy a heart attack." He said to her. She smiled at him and shook her head.

"Luckily for you Mr. LeBeau that can not happen, since your already dead." She told him.

"Sure, rub it in." Remy grumbled.

"I came to see how you were doing. Have you been having any difficulties?" She asked him with concern in her voice.

"Non, everythin' be goin' good. Except de other brats here be pissin' Gambit off." He told her, thinking about Bobby, Carol, and the others that tried to avoid Rogue.

"It is hard for her to be able to not be able to touch anyone and worse off others not wanting to be around her. Try to encourage her to not be discouraged with the others. She always has the Professor and the other teachers to talk to if she ever needs help with anything." Jean said to him with a smile on her face.

"But Remy don' think Marie wants to talk to dem. An'..." He stopped for a moment. "How y' know of dem?" He asked her.

Jean smiled sadly. "I use to work here, I never got to know Rogue that well and I regret it. She was a very intelligent girl with much potential. I see you were able to find out her real name, she never used it when I was around. She always called herself Rogue and still does. I am guessing she must trust you enough." Jean smiled at him. "Take care of her and protect her. I fear things in her future for her will become darker than it already is. She needs someone that is there for her to speak with. The teachers in this school would be of much help, but I think you are the best thing to help her along when the time comes."

"Gambit won't leave Marie's side." Remy vowed to Jean. 'Whatever she be goin' through, Remy will be dere to help her. If it be dat punk ex of her's Gambit will kick his ass.' He thought to himself. "By de way Jeannie, if dere anyway of lettin' Remy be able to touch anythin'? He asked her, hoping she would let him.

Jean shook her head. "Sorry, but your not allowed. You're only a soul now and can not touch anything. It would be breaking the laws of the dead." She told him.

'Who care about rules, dey were made to be broken.' He thought to himself, disappointed with the answer he received.

"I have to leave now, fair well Remy. Take care of Rogue." Jean said to him as she vanished from the mirror.

"Remy will do dat, or go to hell tryin'." He said as he turned back to Rogue and watched her sleep.
