I don't know why, but I've been in a evil mood lately. Unfortunately, that kinda affects the chapter, and well you shall see. Also there are a lot of flashbacks in here to show where Remy was.
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything in this fic, u can try and sue, but I got no money so good luck with that.
Rogue didn't say anything for a few seconds, only stared at Remy in shock. "Rogue?" She heard the Professor say her name again, and finally snapped out of it.
"Huh, oh, sorry Professor." She said to him as she turned back to Remy. "It's nice to meet you Mr. LeBeau." She greeted him, her eyes narrowed at him.
"Pleasure is mine, chere." He told her with a grin on his face.
"I would like you to show Mr. LeBeau around if you wouldn't mind, Rogue. I was going to have another student do it, but since you arrived here." He began to say, but Rogue quickly turned back to him and nodded.
"Ah can do it Professor." She told him with a smile. "Ah'll make sure he is welcomed here." She told him innocently. 'After Ah kill him.' She thought to herself as she lead Remy to the exit, he opened the door for her, and followed behind her. He shut the door behind him, to see Rogue glaring at him.
"Somethin' wrong, chere?" He asked her innocently. She had her arms folded across her chest. She walked up close to him and smacked him on the arm.
"Ya jerk! Ah though ya left meh and ya were here the whole time." She began, trying not to shout to drawl attention to the two of them.
Remy placed his hands in front of him in defense. "Gambit only arrived 'ere a short while ago, he couldn't walk into 'ere without people noticin so he enrolled 'ere." He began to explain.
"Why didn't ya tell meh that ya were gonna leave." She asked him, calming down a bit, but still hurt that he left without mentioning anything.
"Never got a chance to, mon amour." He told her.
Flashback
Remy appeared in the same location he had when he had first been killed. It was a forest looking area and a gold gate that stood between two trees, and standing there was Jean with a smile on her face. "Why couldn't Gambit say good-bye to her?" He asked Jean sadly
"I am sorry you were unable to say good-bye, but you couldn't stay there anymore." Jean started to explain to him.
"So now Gambit get to go to heaven?" He asked her. 'Doubt I'm goin' to be happy dere, was much happier with Rogue.' He thought sadly to himself.
"Um, actually Remy." She began to explain, when he raised a eyebrow at her.
"Gambit goin' to heaven right?" He asked her, he folded his arms over his chest.
"Well you see." She didn't like the look he was giving her. "Your not really done, yet." She said quickly.
"What do y' mean? Don' tell moi Gambit gotta go look after someone else. Thought y' said Gambit did a good job at protectin Rogue." He asked her, still glaring at her.
"Do you remember what I told you before you went into Rogue's head?" Jean asked him, trying to find the best way to explain this to him.
"Y' said a lot of things." He told her.
"Yes, but what I had said to you before you went into her head. The part where you were meant to die to protect her. Well part of your job is over with, the second half is about to begin." Jean told him, the smile she had on her face returning. "You are unable to do anything for Rogue in being a ghost, so we are sending you back to earth in a body to protect her." She said to him.
"So den Remy will be able to touch and not go right through things?" He asked her, trying to not get himself to excited. It was too good to be true.
"Yes, you will be able to touch things and not pass through them. You will be done with your assignment when it is Rogue's time to go." Jean told him.
"What's de catch?" He asked her, still not trusting the situation.
"That's all. Well you will be getting a new body." She began to explain, but he cut her off.
"What happened to Gambit's old body?" He asked her.
"It kinda got burned up when the car hit your bike." She told him. "This body will be the exact same as your old one, you will still have your powers and everything." She explained to him.
A smile spread across Remy's face. "So when does Gambit leave?" He asked her.
"You will be leaving soon. Though first I must mention some of the rules. One, you can never mention that you were once dead to anyone, other than Rogue who already knows. Two, make sure nothing bad happens to Rogue. Three, I will be checking up on you to see how you are doing. Four, you are to help her with her powers. Five, though you can't technically be killed, your not immortal." She said to him.
"What about her powers of absorbin?" He asked Jean, who smiled at him.
"You will be able to make skin contact with her and not be absorbed. I believe that is it, unless I think of others, then I will be visiting you to tell you then." She told him.
"Bein." He told her, wanting to leave to go see Rogue.
"Well first there is someone here that wants to see you." She told him. Remy raised a eyebrow as someone appeared before him.
End of Flashback
"Basically, dey said dat Gambit get's to be y'r guardian angel until y' die." He said to her with a grin.
"So you're here for good?" She asked as he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips. He began to kiss her hand.
"Oui." He answered. "Not only dat, but. . ." He said as he leaned down and kissed her. Rogue was about to protest when his lips touched hers, but let him kiss her.
'Ah'm not absorbin him?' She thought to herself as she pulled away and leaned back up. "Ah can touch?" She asked him, looking surprised.
"Dat another thing Gambit got, he be resistant to y'r powers." He told her. Rogue reached up and touched his cheek and ran her hand down it. It was so strange, she had not felt skin contact in so long and now she was able to. She had tears in her eyes before she finally hugged him.
He wrapped his hand around her waist to bring her closer. He looked pass her at the Professor's door.
Flashback
Gambit arrived at the front of the mansion's gate that had been opened from Logan, who had taken a ride into town. Remy walked forward to the door and knocked on it. He was about to brace himself incase he fell through the door, but his hand made contact with the door and didn't phase through it.
He waited a few seconds before a man answered the door, wearing sunglasses. "May I help you?" Scott asked as he looked at the stranger.
"May I speak with Charles Xavier." Remy asked politely, not wanting to get kicked out before he even started the second part of his job.
Scott raised a eyebrow at the younger man, but opened the door and let him in. "This way." Scott guided Remy into the mansion and to the Professor's office. Scott knocked on the door.
'Come in." Remy heard in his head, he looked around, trying to find the voice. The only voice that had been in his head before was Jean, but she didn't have a man's voice. 'You may step into my office.' He heard the voice again and opened the door as Scott left.
"How may I help you?" Charles asked as he turned to see Remy closing the door. 'This is the same young man I saw in Rogue's head.' He thought to himself, but kept a straight face as Remy took a seat before him.
"Was wonderin if I could join y'r school." Remy asked the Professor, not knowing of any other way of saying it. 'Jeannie should of given moi a script.' He thought to himself as he let his mental shields go up.
"Most of the students here are much younger, but we could use some new staff around here." The Professor told Remy, who nodded. "I believe we can find a place around here for you. What is your name?" He said to Remy with a smile.
"Remy LeBeau, or Gambit." Remy answered. 'Why is this goin' to easy.' He thought to himself as he heard a knock at the door. 'Mebbe Jeannie had dis all planned or somethin.' He added.
"Professor, there are somethings I need to discuss with you about my class." Remy heard a voice from behind him. A white haired woman came forward and he looked at her. "Oh, I didn't know. . ." She stopped saying as she looked down at Remy. "Oh my goddess." She said.
"Does Gambit know y'?" He asked her.
"You don't remember? We met in Cairo, well except, I kinda was deaged from a villian. You saved me, it's Storm." Ororo said, still a bit in shock.
Remy's eyes went wide. "Stormy?" He asked as he stood up. "It's been years." He said with a smile as she hugged him.
"It's been three." She answered him as she let go. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she turned to the Professor.
"I believe he wants to join us here." The Professor answered with a smile.
"I'll be seeing you around, Remy, we got some catching up to do." She told him as she decided to talk to the Professor later about her class. She shut the door behind her and Remy took a seat in his chair.
"You know Storm?" The Professor asked Remy, raising a eyebrow.
"Oui, how did she grow dat fast in three years?" Remy asked the Professor. He remembered meeting the young Storm, while on a mission for the Thieves Guild, and had watched out for her, not knowing she was a X-Man or anything else, but her name. Then one week she had disappeared and he never saw her again. He had figured she had found her parents and left.
"She was deaged by a mutant, we were able to restore her back to her normal age, luckily." The Professor answered him. "I believe for now I shall have you help Logan in the Danger Room, which helps the students with their powers and in combat." He began to say as they heard a knock on the door and Rogue walked in.
End of flashback
Rogue was first to pull out of their hug. "Well Ah really don' need ta show ya around the mansion, ya already should know it by now." She told him with a smile.
"Don't mean Remy doesn't want to have a walk around with de belle femme." He told her with a sly grin.
"Come on swamp rat." She said as she lead him upstairs. They walked by the other people's rooms, already knowing who half of them belonged to. "Ah wanna talk to ya in private." She said to him as they began to enter her room. Remy walked inside, followed by Rogue who shut the door behind her.
"Hello, I don't believe we've met?" Rogue heard a female voice from behind them. Rogue had forgotten that she had a room mate now. She turned around to see Jubilee shaking hands with Remy. "So are you new here?" Jubilee asked. 'Man, he's hot.' She thought to herself.
"Oui, petit'." Remy answered. "De name is Remy Lebeau, and you are?" He asked, acting as if he didn't know who she was. Luckily, he had the best poker face and didn't show any expressions that acted like he was faking it.
"Your Remy?" She asked as she turned to Rogue. "This is the guy? Wow you weren't kidding." Jubilee said as she stepped away from Remy.
"Told ya." Rogue said smiling. "Ah kinda wanted ta speak with Remy in private if ya don't mind." She asked her friend.
"Oh, sure." Jubilee said as she quickly went to the door. "Tell me all the details though." Jubilee
winked at Rogue, who rolled her eyes.
"Ah don't mean like that." She told her friend, who shut the door behind her. Rogue turned back to Remy. "Ah still can't believe ya are still here." She said, shaking her head.
"Why y' miss dis old Cajun?" He asked her, a cocky smirk on his face. Rogue shook her head.
"So this is how ya act when ya are alive?" She asked him. 'Ah can't believe it, this is just to perfect.' She thought to herself. She finally had everything she had always dreamed of, friends, someone that loved her, and was able to touch skin of someone else.
"Not dat much y' can do when y'r a ghost." He told her, the smirk falling from his face.
Rogue walked over to him and hugged him again. "Ah'm glad ya are back." She told him. Remy hugged her back.
"Told y' Gambit wouldn't leave y'. And he is a man of his word." He told her as he looked out the window. Unknowing to Rogue, he had meant it in two different meanings. 'Y'r dead Julien.' He thought to himself.
