Sorry this chapter took a while. My teachers I swear are evil! Every single day there is a test in my one class and in the other that lady loves giving homework, way too much! Luckily, there is only two more weeks of that, then I am free to write! well sorta.
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 awoke the to alarm going off. She opened her eyes and yawned as she sat up in her bed. She could hear Jubilee groan at the alarm and placed the pillow over her head. Rogue looked over at her friend and shook her head.
"Come on, we gotta get up." She told her friend, who ignored her.
"No we don't, class does not begin until later today." Jubilee complained as Rogue turned the alarm clock off. "I swear there has to be a law against waking up this early." Jubilee finally pulled the pillow off her head and turned on her other side.
Rogue shook her head as looked down at the foot of her bed to find a envelope and a red rose sitting there. 'How sweet.' Rogue thought to herself as she reached down and grabbed the rose and smelled it. 'Ah got ta remember ta thank him today for this.' Rogue thought to herself, knowing it could only be from one person, Remy.
She looked back at the envelope and reached for it. There was nothing written on the top of it, but she assumed it was left for her, since it was on her bed.
Rogue opened the envelope and pulled out a small piece of paper. Her eyes skimmed down the paper as she read the message.
'He'll be back? Wonder where he went ta.' She thought to herself as she placed the paper down on her bed. 'Probably went ta the store and wanted ta make sure that Ah didn't worry about him.' She smirked to herself as she got off the bed and walked over to her dresser and pulled out some new clothes.
She walked into the bathroom and turned the hot water on as she began to strip out of her clothes. She then walked into the shower and relaxed. 'So much better than yesterday, at least Ah know where he is this time.' She thought to herself as she grabbed a rag and soap to clean her body with.
'Wish he wrote where he was going and how long, but he'll probably be back soon.' She thought to herself as she grabbed the shampoo and ran it through her hair.
As soon as the shampoo was out of her hair, she turned the water off and grabbed two towels, one for her hair and one to wrap around herself. She then stopped out of the shower and began to dress herself after she was dried off.
She exited out of the bathroom, the towel still wrapped in her hair, and placed her clothes in the dirty laundry. Jubilee was now laying awake in bed and staring at the ceiling. "Ya alright?" Rogue asked her friend, who kept starring at the ceiling.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just remembered I never turned the lights out in my apartment before I left it." She commented. Rogue raised a eyebrow at her.
"Is there someone ya can call about it?" Rogue asked her as she made her way over to her own bed and started to make it.
"No, but if the place catches fire. I wouldn't be surprised. It was junky and had a bad smell to it, but it was the only place that was affordable." Jubilee answered as she finally sat up in bed, her black hair looked a mess.
"So why did ya stay?" Rogue asked her as she sat on her bed, once it was made. 'It would of been a lot better if ya stayed here.' Rogue thought to herself.
Jubilee shrugged. "I thought I would enjoy working and being on my own. I mean when they called me and offered me the job, I was excited. Then after, it started to suck and I started to hate it. I mean my boss was the biggest asshole I have ever seen." Jubilee replied as she looked down at the bed she was lying in.
"I never realized how much I missed this place. This place is so much better than the crap house I was staying at." Jubilee told her as she stretched her arms over her head and then turned to Rogue and smirked. "Reason why I plan to stay here forever, or as long as I can stay here. I mean someone needs to keep a eye on you and Wolvie."
Rogue smirked. "Ah've been fine." Rogue told her, and Jubilee gave her a look that said 'yeah-right'. "Well besides the whole thing with Carol and everyone ignoring meh, but other than that Ah've been fine. Plus Ah got Remy now." Rogue smirked as she looked at the red rose he had given her. She had placed it on her night stand.
"You deserve someone that is nice, but I swear if he does anything to ya. Call me and I will blind him!" Jubilee declared as she got up from her bed and walked over to the bathroom. "I'm gonna take a shower, I'll meet ya later?" Jubilee asked her, Rogue nodded as Jubilee shut the bathroom door.
Rogue sighed as she got up from the bed and walked out of the room. She walked down that hallway and went down the stairs and into the rec room.
There she found Warren, Betsy, Bobby, Kitty, and Piotr all in conversation. Each of them stopped when she came in and greeted her. 'They still feel bad about what they did, but it is gettin kinda annoyin when they try to be friendly.' She thought to herself.
"Hey Rogue, sleep well?" Kitty asked Rogue with a cheerful smile.
"Ya." Rogue replied. "So how was your night last night?" She asked them as she took a seat in the leather chair that was next to Bobby.
"It was awesome, you gotta come out with us sometime. They had the best music, awesome dance floor, food isn't free, but it still is really good." Kitty began to say, cutting off anyone else that would of answered Rogue's question.
"As she said, it was good." Betsy replied as she leaned next to Warren on the couch.
"So where's that new guy. I forgot his name." Bobby asked as he noticed Rogue was now alone. The day before he had seen her smiling when she walked down the stairs with him.
"He went out for a while and his name is Remy." Rogue replied to Bobby, who gave a fake smile and nodded. 'Ah know ya don't like it, just admit it. Besides Ah know he don't like ya.' Rogue thought to herself.
"So where is he from?" Warren asked as he began to stroke Betsy's purple hair.
"He is from New Orleans." Rogue answered with a smile, which soon began to fade from her face. 'Wait, wasn't he killed there?' She asked herself. She recalled seeing the newspaper with his family on it and it mentioned about him. 'No, he wouldn't, would he?' She thought to herself, not noticing the others looking at her.
"Are you alright Rogue?" Piotr asked her with concern in his voice. Rogue looked at him and the others, who were all starring at her. Rogue nodded as she got up to her feet.
"Ya, Ah'll be back. Ah need ta ask the Professor somethin." She told them as she quickly left the room. She didn't bother to wait for them to say good-bye. She walked as quickly as she could to the Professor's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." She heard the Professor say and opened the door immediately. Xavier looked up at her with a smile. "How may I help you Rogue?" He asked her as he sat back in his wheelchair.
"Did ya see Remy this morning?" She asked him as she came to stand in front of his desk.
"Yes, he said he needed to pick somethings up from his home and would be back soon. Is there something wrong?" He asked her. Rogue just shook her head.
"No, that's all. Thanks for ya time Professor." She replied as she turned and headed back out of the door. She closed the door behind her and walked to the front door.
'He better hope Ah don't find him, cause when Ah do he is in trouble.' She thought to herself as she opened the door and exited out of the mansion, not bothering to tell anyone of where she was going. 'Ah'll hunt him down, heaven or hell.' She thought to herself as she flew up into the sky and headed for New Orleans.
On a Airplane over Louisiana
Remy LeBeau sat in the first class department of the airplane and waited for it to land. He wanted to tell Rogue where he was going, but did not want to get her involved. This was his problem and he was going to take care of it, then go back and take care of Rogue.
He leaned his head against the window and looked out at the clouds. He closed his eyes and began to remember something he had learned only short while ago.
Flashback
"Well first there is someone here that wants to see you." Jean told him. He had just learned he was going back to earth to protect Rogue.
'Who is dere to see moi?' He thought to himself as someone appeared beside Jean. Remy's eyes went wide.
"I'll leave you two alone." Jean told them as she disappeared, leaving the two brothers alone.
"How y' been mon petit' frere?" Henri LeBeau smiled at his younger brother, who stared at him in shock.
"Mon Dieu, Henri, I'm so sorry." Remy bowed his head. 'Y' should of never been killed.' He thought to himself.
"It ain' y'r fault, y' didn' do anythin'." Henri told him as he placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Y' didn' know dat Julien had planned to kill y' or moi." Henri reassured him.
"How was pere after he found out I was killed?" Remy asked, forgetting complete about talking in third person, once again.
"He was devastated. Never seen de man in mon entire life dat upset. Even when mon mere died, he was sad, but never like dis." Henri replied. "Things are not goin' to good in New Orleans. After I was killed, I saw he was going to declare war on the Assassins. Before he had argued dat Julien needed to be killed, but Marius defended his son sayin dat he didn' kill y." Henri explained to his younger brother.
"Julien always was a good liar." Remy whispered as he looked at the ground in anger. 'Dat son of a bitch is gonna pay.' He thought to himself.
"He is not de one behind y'r or mon murder though." Henri caught Remy's attention. "I was out one night, tracking Julien to see where he was goin'. Found him talkin' to Candra, apparently she wants de Thieves and Assassins to be back in war." Henri said, a hint of anger in his voice.
Remy stared at his brother. 'Dat bitch.' Remy thought to himself. He remembered Candra, the External that for years held something that both Guilds wanted. For the Thieves, life; for the Assassins, power. Since there had been peace between the two Guilds, they no longer had need for her.
"Listen to moi, Remy." Henri said as he saw the anger in his brother's red eyes. "It is dangerous down dere, I don't like what is goin down dere as much as y'. But y' have to stay away from dere, mebbe call pere and let him know y'r alive. Den mebbe things will get cleared up a bit." Henri told his brother, not wanting him to waste his new life going after Julien.
Henri then changed the subject. "Been watchin' y' for some time. Y' and dat femme seem pretty close." Henri raised a eyebrow at his brother and smiled.
Remy finally smirked. "Oui, never met anyone like her before." He replied.
"Listen to moi, don't throw dat away. Not everyday y' find a femme dat special. Enjoy y'r time with her and don' throw it away." Henri said to Remy. "I gotta be goin petit' frere, take care of y'rself." Henri told him as he hugged his younger brother. Remy hugged him back.
"Y' take care of y'rself too, Henri." Remy smirked at his brother. 'Don' worry either, I'll make sure I send dem both to hell.' Remy thought to himself as he thought on Julien and Candra.
Jean soon reappeared beside them with a smile. "It is time Remy." She told him as she waved her hand and he disappeared from their site.
End of Flashback
"Sir, sir." A flight attendant shook his shoulder. Remy opened his eyes and looked over at the woman standing there. He then noticed that most of the people were off the plane. "The plane landed, you need to get off now." She told him.
"Oui." Remy replied as he got up from his seat and stood behind the other people who were getting off the plane. Within a few minutes he was off the plane and walking through the Louisiana airport.
"Sorry Henri, but can' rest until I know dat dey are gone." He whispered to himself as people raced pass him, probably had forgotten about their flight. He walked through the doors that lead outside.
"Remy, what are you doing? Your suppose to be in New York with Rogue!" He heard a voice yell at him, he jumped when he heard the familiar voice. He turned to see Jean standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry, Jeannie. Gambit promise he will go back and protect Rogue once he is done here. It won' take dat long." Remy reassured her.
"Remy, if you kill them, you will end up going to hell. All of the stuff you had done will have been for nothing. You will not be given a second chance." Jean told him, he ignored her.
"Not gonna let Julien or Candra kill anyone else. Now if y' please I need to call for a cab." Remy told her as he walked through her. Jean looked back at him and shook her head.
'There is no stopping him.' She thought sadly. 'I just hope he comes to his senses.' She then disappeared. Remy walked to the curb and whistled for a taxi to come.
A yellow taxi raced up beside him and stopped. Remy opened the door and got in. "Where to?" The driver asked him.
"New Orleans." He ordered to the driver, who didn't reply. They only started driving to the destination they were told. Remy looked out the window as he saw watched the airport in the distance as they drove further away.
He sat back in his seat and waited until they arrived.

silverbells: killed him once, not going to kill him again, that would get to be a bit, well, ya know. For the cover story, that was a plot for a story I was going to write for a fic with them awhile ago, but that was also 2 years ago and I think someone has used that idea. Thanks for reviewing
willaj: I started thinking about that, I first thought his head would implode, but his powers would stop that, so I think the only way if for him to have a bomb dropped on him, then he would probably explode, will we ever know, who knows.

Jinxeh: Wolvie was lucky he had a healing factor, otherwise he would no longer be there. Though I wonder if he can walk around in his skelton with no skin, that would be sick looking, but they had to of placed it in somehow, well by liquiding the metal, but still. Thanks for reviewing
