DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyting...but oh how I wish I did.
Thanks so much for all the lovely reviews from Escape From Paradise. Can't believe all that I received. It's simply humbling. SNIFF. Anyways, if you didn't read it, it would be a good time, since I'm starting this story 18 months that story. It just helps to be caught up. Plus, it's always good to know what everybody thinks. ;-)
CHANCE ENCOUNTERS
It was later than he would have liked, even for a thief. But his boss needed whatever was in this building, so who was he to complain, except that this evening was incredibly boring. The heist was going to be too easy. Knowing what kind of man he was, having him bored wasn't a good thing. It didn't make him sloppy, but it did make him want to pull a few strings on purpose, just to make things more...interesting. Although, this stupid high-tech lock was giving him trouble, since it was taking more than a minute to unlock with his tools.
Rogue was flying around the city, doing her so called patrol that Scott had laid upon her. Sometimes that guy really needed to remove that poll that was shoved so far up his...
"Rogue." her communicator called out to her, removing her from her previous thoughts.
"Yeah Scott."
"We think that there's a disturbance and-"
"Ya want meh ta check it out."
"If your not too busy." Wait, did he just make a sarcastic comment? To her?
"Excuse meh, Ah didn't get that." But she received no reply, instead, it was Jean who gave her the coordinates. It wasn't hard to find, since she was right there, but since when does Scott talk like that?
Rogue landed gently on the building, making sure she was concealed by the darkness. But that when she heard something herself. It was some type of click. She hovered over to where she found a siloutte of a man in the darkness. He was standing near the only light on the roof of the building, but not in it. She landed and walked over to the man. He obviously heard her and stood up, but did not turn around.
"Pardon meh, but could Ah ask what'cha doin' here?"
He smiled to himself, this night just got more interesting. A woman, maybe the night wouldn't be such a waste. But how long had she been there? He checked out the place before hand. How did she get up here? So he slowly turned around to look at the woman.
Rogue heart could have stopped in that moment. He was still in the dark, but those eyes. How many people have those eyes? As she looked at those eyes, they began to glow like they used to when he looked at her. Could it be? She tried to force herself not to get her hopes up. She could be seeing things or thinking things, but what could she do? Rogue stepped into the light, hoping that it would be him.
"Remy?"
He had no idea as to what this woman was thinking. How could she think that she knew him, and he was in the dark. Oh well, look at that body, he thought to himself as he looked her over. But then he was able to look into those hopeful green eyes, and for once, he couldn't think or move.
"Remy?" she asked again, pulling him out of his revere.
"Don't know who dis Remy be." he told her and he took a step into the light. Rogue could have just died right then.
