Heya, not too much ta say here, except enjoy the chapter!
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.
"So Ah guess Ah should introduce ya to everyone." Rogue told Remy as they separated from the hug. Remy looked as if he was in deep thought, until Rogue placed her hand on his arm. "Ya alright sugah?" She questioned him.
He looked down at her and smiled. "Never better, chere." He answered her. "Now y' goin to introduce Remy to dese people? He already knows dem all." He told her as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ah think ya would scare em if ya came up and greeted them, ya knowing who they are and them not knowin ya." She said to him.
"Well Gambit could always say dat he can see into the future and saw himself meetin dem." Rogue shook her head at him and pulled him by the arm out the door.
"Ah don't think that would work." Rogue told him as they entered into the hallway.
"How y' know?' He asked her, she shot him a look that said 'knock-it-off-before-I-knock-you-out. He finally gave up.
"Hi Miss Rogue!" They heard from behind them. They turned to see Rahne and Jamie standing there, both looking at Remy in question.
"Who are you?" Jamie asked looking up at Remy. "Are you new here?" He added onto his question. Remy smirked down at the two kids.
"Oui, Gambit new here. Nice to meet y' petit's." He greeted them. Rahne looked as if she wasn't paying attention to what he was saying and only looking up at him.
"You better be nice to Rogue!" Jamie warned Remy, who raised a eyebrow. He had been threatened a lot in his life as a thief, but never by a young kid. "Or we will make you pay!" He threatened.
"Wouldn't dream of it, petit'." He told Jamie as he turned to look at Rogue. "Besides, how could anyone resist dat face." He smirked at her, she rolled her eyes at him.
"Hey bend down." Rahne told Remy, who had been trying to get a good look at him, but being that he was so tall and her so short, she couldn't. Remy did as she said as went down to her level. "You got pretty eyes." She told him, getting a better look at his face.
"Merci petit'." He said to her as he stood back up, Rahne giggled when she heard him speak.
"Are you French?" Jamie asked Remy. He sighed, knowing he was going to probably hear a lot of this.
"Non, Gambit's Cajun." He told them. He caught Rogue out of the corner of his eye, a hand over her mouth like she was trying to hold back a laugh. 'Dis is goin to be a long day.' He thought to himself.
"You talk funny, but you seem nice. Bye Gambit! Bye Rogue." The young girl said as she began to walk away. Jamie soon followed her after a few seconds of glaring at Remy.
"See, ya already got a fan." Rogue smirked at Remy, who looked at her.
"Gambit think dat little boy gonna attack him durin the night." He muttered under his breath.
"Ya scared of a little kid? Don't worry if ya want Ah can tell him ta be nice ta ya." She teased him.
"Gambit ain't scared of de petit'." Remy defended himself, as Rogue pulled him along the hallway to go downstairs. "So now where to, cher?" He asked her as they came to the stairs and started going down them.
"Just walk around and see people." She answered him as they came to the bottom of the stairs and found Bobby was about to go up. "Uh, hi Bobby." She greeted her ex-boyfriend. He smiled at her and then his eyes drifted over to Remy, who had his arm around her waist.
"Hey Rogue, whose this?" He asked her, eyeing Remy suspiciously. 'This is the reason why she didn't want to go out with me?' He thought to himself as he waited for Rogue's reply.
"Bobby, this is Remy LeBeau. He's a good friend of mine and he is also new ta the school."Rogue told him. Bobby held out his hand to shake Remy's.
"Nice to meet you, Remy." He greeted the Cajun with a fake smile. Remy shook his hand.
'Y' really need to work on y'r poker face.' Remy thought to himself. "Nice to meet y' to." He said to Bobby.
'Well this went better than Ah expected.' Rogue thought to herself as she saw they were getting along, for now. "Remy just arrived here about a hour ago, Ah was showin him around." Rogue said, breaking the silence.
"So, what are your powers?" Bobby asked Remy. 'I got to ask Logan or Scott if I can go against this guy in the Danger Room. I can kick his ass and show Rogue I'm better.' He thought to himself, but was trying to act friendly, for Rogue.
"Can turn potential energy into kinetic energy." Remy told Bobby, who looked confused. "Make things blow up." Remy explained, Bobby nodded as he turned back to Rogue. 'Keep y'r eyes off mon cher!' Remy shouted in his mind. 'Y' had y'r chance and y' blew it.' He thought angrily.
"So I'll be seeing you around Rogue." Bobby said to Rogue with a smile, it disappeared when he turned back to Remy. "Nice meeting you Remy." Bobby then went on his way up the stairs. Remy glared at the younger man, but stopped when Rogue began to speak.
"That went better than Ah thought." She told Remy with a smile.
"Still wanna kick dat kids ass for hurtin' y' chere." He said to Rogue as he turned to look back up the stairs, to see Bobby was gone. He then smirked to himself. 'Just wait for y'r practice session.' He thought to himself.
"Leave him alone, Ah forgave him for believin Carol, like Ah did with the rest." Rogue looked up at where Remy was looking. "Promise meh ya'll leave him alone." She placed her hand under his chin to turn his head to look at her in the eyes. "Promise meh, swamp rat." She repeated herself.
"Fine, Gambit promise to leave him alone, but it don' mean Gambit gotta be buddies with him." Remy folded his arms and turned away as if he was pouting. Rogue shook her head.
'Men.' She thought silently as she pulled him by the arm. She lead him down the hallway. She glanced over at him. "Ah can't believe he is here. Just days ago Ah was walking down this same hallway with him, but now people can actually see him.' She smiled to herself as they entered into the kitchen to see Warren, Betsy, Kitty, and Piotr in there having a conversation.
"Hey Rogue." Kitty greeted her and then looked at the man next to her. "Wow, whose this?" She asked raising a eyebrow at the newcomer. She felt someone's hand be placed on hers. She looked to her side to see Piotr's hand, as a reminder that she is already taken.
"This is Remy LeBeau, he is a friend of mine." Rogue used the same excuse. If she told them that he was a ghost that came back to life they would think she was nuts. 'Ah gotta think of a way we met.' She thought to herself.
"Nice to meet you Remy." Betsy said as Warren placed a arm around her shoulder.
"Nice to meet y' all." He told them all.
"So how long have you been here?" Warren asked as he rubbed Betsy's arm. All four of them were hoping he had not heard of what everyone had done to Rogue, unknowing to them, he was there the whole time.
"Only two hours ago. De Professor said dat I should help out in de Danger Room." He replied to the question. Rogue looked at him a bit surprised, he hadn't talked in third person.
"So how did you and Rogue meet?" Piotr asked the two southerners. Rogue began to think quickly before Remy would get a chance to speak, not knowing what he would say.
"We met. . . um." She began to think. 'Crap, Ah should of thought about this more.' She looked at the four young people that were awaiting a answer.
"We met before she met up with Logan in Canada. She needed help gettin' dere. Dat's when she found moi in a diner and den I helped her get a ride up to Canada. Told her if she had any problems she should call moi." Remy smirked. Rogue looked over at Remy, surprised he came up with a good idea about how they met.
"So you've kept in touch then?" Kitty asked, hoping the answer was no. 'He'll think we are monsters for what we did to Rogue.' She thought to herself.
"We've kept in touch. Ah'd call him every now and then. Finally convinced him ta come and live at the mansion." She added onto Remy's story.
"Well it is nice to have you here Remy." Betsy said with a smile. "We're going out, we'll see you two later."
"See ya." Rogue and Remy watched as the four other teens left the kitchen. "Ya hungry at all or thirsty?" Rogue asked Remy as she went into the fridge to find practically nothing in there. Rogue sighed as she looked around in the fridge.
'Wonder where dey keep de alcohol at.' Remy mused to himself, noting to himself to check out the mansion for any. 'Den again, last time Gambit had some he ended up dead. Never would of been killed if it weren' for Julien, dat bastard is goin' to pay.' Remy thought to himself bitterly, before answering Rogue.
"Got any water?" Remy asked as he watched Rogue look lower into the fridge. 'Bit a lower.' Remy thought to himself as he started checking out Rogue from behind. 'Never get tired of dis site.' He smirked to himself as Rogue pulled open the bottom drawer and grabbed two water bottles.
"Merci." He thanked her as he opened the water. Rogue started to twist the top of the water off. "Havin' trouble dere?" He asked as he saw she was having problems getting the water open.
"Ah got it." She told him as she twisted the cap harder, maybe a bit too hard. She took the entire top of the water bottle off with her strength and sent water flying all over the kitchen. Rogue sighed. "Still ain't use ta havin' these new powers." She mumbled to herself as she went to get a sponge to soak up the water.
'Mental note, don' piss chere off.' He thought to himself as he went to help her clean the kitchen. She handed him a sponge to help her.
After a few minutes of soaking up water and rinsing it out in the sink, the floor was almost dry. Rogue was at the sink squeezing the water out into the sink when she felt Remy's arms come around her waist and lean her back into him.
"Y' almost done cher?" He asked her as he started to kiss her neck, after moving the hair out of the way. Rogue closed her eyes and enjoyed the attention she had longed for. For once she didn't have to worry about absorbing someone by touching, well everyone else she did, but not Remy. She had always wondered if she would ever be able to live a normal life with her powers, now she just may.
"Yeah, sugah." She replied as she tilted Remy's face up to hers and kissed him. She ran a hand through his hair. He broke away from their kiss and began to trail kiss down her jaw and down her neck.
They hadn't noticed that they were not alone, until someone grabbed Remy and threw him against the counter. Remy looked up to find Logan glaring at him angrily and had his claws pointed at his face. 'Dis is de ja vu.' Remy thought to himself as he remembered fighting Wolverine in Rogue's mind.
"Who the hell are you?" Logan growled as he kept his hold on Remy firm, making it impossible for the young thief to escape.
"Logan let him go." Rogue came to Logan's side. "He is a good friend of mine, he wasn't doing anything." Rogue protested as she tried to convince Logan to let Remy go.
"Really? From where I was standing." He stopped talking and glared back down at Remy. He didn't like the idea of a guy and Rogue being close, no matter who they were. They would have to pass his inspection.
"Gambit didn' do any harm to Rogue." Remy tried to convince Logan, but it only made the Canadian angrier. 'Fine, y' want to play dis way, let's play.' He thought to himself as he put his hand on Logan's claw, seconds later the claw began to glow bright pink.
"What the hell." Logan retracted his claws as Remy took the charge away so it wouldn't blow up anything. Though it wouldn't of caused Logan any harm due to his healing factor and adamantium skeleton, which was indestructible.
"Now y' goin to let Gambit explain." Remy asked as he finally was able to move without having to worry about his head being sliced off.
"As I was trying to say Logan, this is my friend Remy. He just came here." Rogue finally got a chance to explain. Logan raised a eyebrow at her.
"From what it looked like your more than friends and . . ." He stopped speaking when he released that Remy and Rogue had actually been able to touch and she didn't absorb him. "Since when have you been able to touch?" Logan asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"Ah can't touch everyone, for some reason though Ah can touch Remy and not absorb him." Rogue explained and then she smiled. "And as for the more than friends thing." She began to drift into thought. Remy never official asked her to be his girlfriend.
Logan glared at Remy. "You better not take advantage of her or I swear no one will be able to recognize your body when I'm through with you." Logan warned him.
'Well no one is able to recognize Gambit's first body.' He began to think to himself before answering Logan. "Wouldn't dream of it, homme." He turned to look at Rogue and smiled.
"If he hurts ya come to me, I'll take care of him." Logan told Rogue before leaving for the door. He stopped and turned back and glared at Remy before leaving.
"Dat went well." Remy commented as he leaned back against the counter.
"Well it could of been worse." Rogue told him. He smirked at her when Storm came into the kitchen.
"I am guessing you met Logan?" The white haired woman smiled at Remy.
"Oui, he de nicest person Gambit ever met." Remy said sarcastically. Storm smiled and shook her head.
"The Professor said for me to show you to your new room." Storm said to Remy.
'Gambit liked it better when he was stayin in chere's room. Wonder if her roommate will trade with moi.' Remy thought to himself. "Show de way, Stormy." Remy told her as Storm left the kitchen and waited for him outside.
Remy turned back to Rogue. "See y' later chere." He told her and leaned down to kiss her good night.
"Night, swamp rat." She said to him. 'It is gettin kinda late, maybe Ah should go get some sleep, class is tomorrow. The others are goin ta be tired if they went out this late.' She thought to herself as Remy left the kitchen to follow Storm. A smile spread across her face. "Ah can't believe it, finally mah life is getting better." She whispered to herself.
"So what do you think about the mansion?" Storm asked Remy as they walked along the upstairs hallway.
"Dis place seems nice." He replied to her.
"I see you and Rogue seem pretty close. She has had it hard over the past few months, the kids are now finally getting around to being nice to her." Storm said to Remy sadly. She looked over at the red on black eyed young man and smiled.
"Gambit'll make sure dat she is never alone again." He told Storm, returning a smile to her. 'Still can' believe dis is de same petit' fille dat was in Cairo.' He thought to himself as they stopped at a room.
"This is your room. I'll see you in the morning." Storm told him as she left to go to her own room. Remy opened the door to find it much like Rogue's. A bathroom to the far side of the room, except this room had a bigger bed.
'Guessin dis is de luxury for helpin here.' He thought to himself as he began to check out the room. After a few minutes he went and sat on his bed and stared at the window.
He sighed. "I'll promise to make it up to her." He said to himself as he got up from his bed and went into one of the drawers to find paper and a pen. He began to write a note.
Rogue,
I promise I'll be back soon. No need to worry, mon amour.
Remy.
