A/N: Yay I'm back off holiday! Hope ya'll haven't missed me too bad, lol. So anyway I have some stuff planned, hehe unfortunately the next chapter is actually the penultimate chapter to this story, sad I know. But there will be a one-shot/two-shot sequel to this, which I shall cleverly entitle X-Mas 3 (Oh the originality.)
Also just a quick reminder, there are several people on here, who in my opinion don't get as much recognition as they should. So please take your time to have a look at these stories.
New Recruit- By Remys Chere- A very funny, cute story, whose protagonist is an OC named Daniela. It's a really good story, and it's the authors first, Please go check it out, and don't forget to leave a review!
Hankenstien's Monster Ball- By Lamby- such a cool fic, I think this is one of the best authors around. Personally I don't really go for gambit/anyone other than rogue fics, lol, but I found this one really good. Please check it out!
Also
The New Art Teacher- by Century Next- a Very in depth sci-fi/ adventure starring his very own OC protagonist, Allan. It's a really well written, thought out story, so intricate and complex. It's a really amazing story, please have a look at it, honestly, you'll love it.
Anyway so now on with my story.

Chapter 5: Mistakes.
"And that concludes the tour of mutant manor, any questions? Comments?" Wanda smiled; a moment ago Rogue had dragged Warren to her, asking if she could give him a tour as she had to go find Remy. Wanda had gladly agreed, the guy before her wasn't exactly an unattractive man.
"Yeah, which one was your room again?" He was also great fun making suggestive comments and flirtations whenever possible.
"Why Mr Worthington, you should know a lady never shows a gentleman her room." Wanda gently swatted Warren's shoulder, and then lopped her arm through his.
"Huh, he ain't no gentleman." A husky, slurred voice sounded, surprising both of them.
"Remy?" Wanda looked questioning as the resident Cajun stumbled towards then, all the while glaring at Warren.
"Lebeau have you been drinking?" Warren could smell the liquor radiate off the other man from a mile away.
"Listen Remy, Rogues looking for you, I think we'd better go clean you up before she finds you." Wanda starts, slowly walking up to the staggering Cajun.
"Non, Wanda I suggest y' go afore tings get ugly."
"What? Remy I think the whiskey has gone to your head, come on, let's go sober you up." Wanda pushed against Remy's chest, trying to get him to move, he however was having none of it, he glared down at her.
"Dis is 'tween me and bird brain, move outta de way, or I'll move y' m'self."
"What has gotten into you? God if Rogue finds out…" Wanda pushed harder
"Don t'ink she'd care, we ain't goin' ou' ne'moah."
"What?" Wanda opened her mouth aghast, allowing Remy the invitation to walk past her.
"We broke up."
"Why?" Wanda jumped in front of Remy, stopping him in his stride.
"Ask him over dere." Remy spat venomously, he stalked towards Angel, pushing Wanda aside. The angry drunk side of him popping out. He couldn't think clearly, all he knew was Rogue had left him, and it was Angels fault, therefore he should pay.
He made to punch Warren, but he easily evaded by stepping aside, Remy stumbled but quickly threw out his other fist, which connected straight into Warrens nose.Gently rubbing his nowsore nose, Warren decided to give Remy a piece of his own medicine, unfortunatly for him Remy blocked each and every punch. Warren took a step back, as Remy started advancing on him, he brought his fist back and made to give aleft hook, however Warren caught his fist in his hand and twisted his arm. Remy let out a grunt and flicked his foot back, kicking Warren straight in the shin, Warren toppled over, clutching his leg in agony. Remy grinned at stalked forward.
By now, many of the occupants of the Mansion had gathered to look at the spectacle. Wanda looked on wide eyed.
"Jamie go get rogue." She shouted to the younger boy the stood next to her. He nodded quickly and ran off.
Remy walked towards Angel, he smirked when he saw blood seep from the others nose. Now preparing to finish the fight, Remy pulled a card from his coat, and flipped it in his hand.
"Ace's are high, an now y' bust." The card in his hand frizzled to life, an angelic pink glow surrounding it. He raised his hand back, preparing to throw the card, however a large, burley man stepped in. Three claws emerged from his knuckles; a low growl erupted from his throat.
"Cajun, de-charge that right now." Remy looked at his fallen opponent, then back to the three claws that were hovering just below his jugular. He sighed and de-charged the card.
At that moment a young boy came running in, dragging an agitated girl behind him. She took one look at the surroundings, her eyes moving from the bleeding Warren on the floor, to the angry, drunk Remy, being held back by wolverine.
"What in the Sam's hill's goin' on?"
"Your boyfriend attacked me." Warren groaned as he tried to stand up, Wanda appeared from the sidelines and comforted him. Rogue looked appalled, then turned to face Remy.
"Remy?" Rogue questioned, she walked up to him and looked him in the eyes, he however looked away, guilt written in his features. Rogue brought back her hand and
SMACK
Remy massaged his cheek, where he felt a smart tingling. Rogue felt tears prickling at her eyes, she took a step away from Remy.
"Wha is wrong with ya? Ah told ya, meh and Warren are jus' friends. Gawd…"
"Rogue…I dunno what came over me, m'sorry." Remy in pleaded with rogue, seeing the anger reflected in her eyes, it hurt him deeply, especially knowing the fact he had caused that.
"Sorry just doesn't cut it…Warren are ya ok?" Rogue turned her back on Remy and bent down to Warren offering her hand. Remy watched his love walk over to the man he now most hated, he tried to ignore them as she comforted Angel, and helped him stand.
Remy felt a familiar feeling bubble up in his stomach…jealously. He gulped; his eyes stinging with tears that threatened to fall. It really was his fault all this happened.
'Damn now Rogue's gunna hate me, shit, great goin' dumbass, y'royaly fucked up.' He thought to himself, silently wishing he could reverse time.He was too deep in thought to notice the pull on his collar. Looking down, he saw a masculine hand tugging him away.
"Gumbo, I think you and I need ta have a little chat." Logan removed his hand from Remy's coat, and sat down in a chair. Gazing around, Remy noticed they appeared to be in the library, he himself had never stepped foot into his room. It was antique looking; everything looked old, ancient even. Long red velvety drapes covered the windows, mahogany bookcases stop tall and proud against the walls, several chairs and sofa's decorated the room, giving it an all over archaic feel.
"Why we here mon ami?" Remy asked sitting down in a chair opposite to Logan.
"Nobody ever comes in here so we'll get some privacy." He replied.
"What y' wanna talk 'bout?" Remy asked curiously.
"You and Rogue. What was that about back there?"
"It don' matter." Remy got up to leave, but Wolverine was quicker and pinned him down to the seat, his claws emerging from his knuckles.
"If you've done something to upset Rogue, then it does matter."
"Remy done nuttin." He struggled against the weight of the older man and tried to push him off of him.
"Yeah? Then why was she almost in tears? And what was the deal with ya kicking ol' birdy's ass?" Wolverine got up satisfied Remy wouldn't run, and sat back in his own chair.
"He stole 'er." Remy gritted out, he held tightly onto the arms of the chair, his knuckles turning white from the pressure.
"What?"
"She don't love me 'ne moah, she admitted it earlier, she likes Warren.."
"Have ya lost your mind? Fucking hell gumbo, I always thought ya were stupid, but this just takes the cake." Logan scoffed and shook his head.
"M'sorry?" Remy bit out, insulted.
"Listen kid, I dunno why, but for some odd reason, that girl loves ya. Ya can see it, every time she looks at ya, trust me."
"she didn't deny she liked 'im when I asked her."
"The girl is too freakin' stubborn for her own good. If ya wanna get her back, ya gunna have ta grovel. I suggest ya suck up that big ego of yours and go apologise before it's too late."
"Y' t'ink?"
"I Know, trust me, 70 years of bein' around women, ya learn a few things." Logan chuckled.
"T'anks Logan." Remy replied sincerely, he just had to get Rogue back. Of all the things in his life, she was the most constant; she was his rock, his stability, his heart, mind, body and soul. He just couldn't lose her because of some stupid argument.
"No probs kid, now go get 'er." Logan grinned "Oh one more thing." He turned back as Remy was about to leave the room, his face pulled into a more serious expression.
"Ya hurt her again, and ya ass is mine.Capiche?" He threatened, unsheathing his claws in the process, Remy gulped and nodded, before quickly vacating the room.

Meanwhile.
Rogue had just helped Wanda take Warren to his room, she sighed as she sat down on her bed. What in the hell had possessed Remy to do that? Why was he acting jealous all of a sudden? Millions of questions whizzed through her head.
She unclasped her suppressor bracelet and put in a draw of her side table. She immediately felt the dizzy spell that always filtered through her as she took off the bracelet. Concentrating hard she focused on her powers, intent on turning them off. Lately she had been having more luck in controlling her powers. Professor Xavier had been helping her learn control without the need of it. Her record so far was 1 minute 12 seconds, with Logan being her guinea pig. She lay down onto her bed and drowned her face in her pillow.
'Dammit, why's mah life gotta be so complicated?'
Lifting her face she peered over onto her side table, it was pretty bare except for a glass of water and a rose. Sitting up again she fingered the rose, it was a present from Remy a few days ago to mark their 1 year anniversary.She remembered when he had given her it

"Happy anniversary chere, I got y' somet'ing." Rogue broke out into a smile as he pulled a single red rose from behind his back. It was the first flower anyone had given her.
"Oh Remy it's beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you." Rogue blushed in reply and took the rose from him, she caressed it gently.
"Y' know dey say a red rose means I will love you forever." Remy smiled as he said this and leaned down toward her, capturing her lips with his.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxmasxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Rogue smiled back at the memory, they were good days. She caressed the flower once more. However it was no longer soft instead had more of a crispy texture. She cast her gaze down and gasped. The Rose slowly dried up and crisped, turning from a deep rogue, into an ugly brown, the petals wilted and fell off, leaving just the stalk. Rogue expression fell, she had been absorbing the flower, and whilst thinking back she had stopped concentrating on her control. The results left the once beautiful flower, dead. Rogue almost chuckled at the irony, the flower supposedly symbolised her and Remy's 'forever' love.
"Hey are you ok?" Rogue turned her head quickly wiping away a stray tear that made its way down her cheek.
"Oh hi Wanda, yeah ahm fahne."
"You don't look fine." Wanda sat down next to Rogue on her bed. Over the past couple of years, the two girls had grown quite close; they had so much in common, and could talk to each other about anything.
"Is Warren ok?" Rogue ignored Wanda's comment.
"Just a few scrapes and bruises, I'm more worried about you though."
"Its nothang that tahme won't mend."
"What happened?"
"Ah honestly don't know. Remy got jealous o' me and Warren, we had a fight an…an then we broke up. Wanda, ah reallah love him, wha' am ah gunna do?" Rogue broke out in a fresh set of tears; Wanda pulled her close and put her arms around her for support.
"Shh, it's ok." Wanda hugged her friend in reassurance. Rogue cried her heart out, still clinging to the dead stalk of the rose.
"Hey I know something that'll cheer you up." Wanda pulled away from rogue and handed her a tissue.
"What?" Rogue sobbed.
"Well you still have a couple of tormenters that seem to love spreading rumours about you." Wanda had a devious look in her gaze.
"Yeah…?" Rogue dried her eyes with the tissue, and then blew her nose.
"Well I do believe we have a couple of excellent plans that need to be executed." Rogue grinned in realisation.
"Ah forgot 'bout them, gawd, they are in foah a rude awakening." Rogue had a similar look to Wanda, as she remembered the plans they both made up to get back at Bobby and Jubilee.
"Exactly." Wanda grinned.
"Ya remember what ya gotta do?"
"Oh yes. Now come on, let's go do, what we do best." Wanda smirked. As they exited the room, Rogue threw away the tissue and the dead rose stalk.
