Roguechere- LOL. Thanks, glad you liked that. I just hate using the same characters over and over. Trying to end some of these fics so I can update my newer ones more, just having a time doing it. Don't want to give them up. ;-)

Bored247- LOL. Yep, you sure were. Don't worry, you will definitely get to know everything you want to. ;-) I will definitely do my best. Don't want you having trouble getting through your day, then would miss all these reviews you've been giving me. ;-)

Enchantedlight- Thanks. Always good to hear from you. :-)

SOUL SEARCHING

Remy couldn't seem to catch up to Rogue. Everytime he came close, she was gone before he arrived. She was always two steps ahead, which was funny because he always thought of himself being two steps ahead of her. He didn't know what to think about everything that was going on. To tell the truth, he wondered if it wasn't all in Rogue's mind when she said it was Belladonna. Sure, she was a cold hearted assassin, of an ex-girlfriend, but she was dead. They couldn't bring her back to life. He didn't remember all of it, but Rogue wouldn't have lied about her being dead, would she?

He wasn't trying to side with anybody when she found him with the Professor, but he just didn't want to see her hurt. Why did she always think that she could handle everything alone? If it is Belle, why would she be after Rogue like this? Wouldn't there be some sign, wouldn't she have showed herself to him? Remy meant what he told her, about it not being her fault. Something had snapped in that girl a long time ago, he just didn't want to believe it. He loved her. But then he met Anna. It was so much more, she was so different. At first she was just some challenge, even with the marriage being arranged and all, but he always felt drawn to her.

Not that he was much of one for choices, continuing to date Belladonna while being married to a girl who didn't want to marry him. Then falling for his own wife and dropping an assassin like an old pair of shoes. Yeah, he handled that well. It was one thing to track Rogue normally, but with all of these powers that she had been trying to hide, it was near impossible, but he couldn't give up. Besides, what was he going to do, sit there and continue to explain all of their secrets to the X-men. Right. So he just continued his search, with all of his unanswered questions. Remy just walked down the dark, lonely road, looking for some sign of a girl with white streaks in her hair.

Suddenly, just as he passed an alley, he smelled it...sulfer. It had to be her. He just acted as none chalantly as he could, as if he were just a normal guy passing by. She had pinned some guy against a wall and was threatening him. He was no match for Rogue, even without her powers. But he couldn't help but wonder what exactly was going on. He was her husband after all. So he quickly and quietly snuck behind a garbage bin and sat there, barely peeking out to see what was going on. But more importantly, he was listening.

"Tell meh Jason."

"Tell, tell you what?"

"Don't play coy with meh sugah, Ah don't play nahce. Belle must'a told ya that."

"Belle who?"

"Ah know who ya are, an' more importantly, what ya can do."

"No, how could you? You don't know anything."

"Don't Ah? What, ya didn't get a good glimpse a whose mahnd that Emma had ya messin' with?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Tell meh Jason, or ya gonna beh stuck in ya own illusions." she told him bitterly.

"Ah don't want ya memories, but Ah'll take them an' more if'n Ah have ta. Where is she?"

"How did you find me?"

"Let's just say that Emma's found bettah days."

"She's heading back to New Orleans. She...she left yesterday, after-"

"Aftah ya'll messed with mah head."

"Yeah. Look I'm sorry, but you're not going to tell her are you? If you do, Raven said-"

"Raven's still with her?"

"Yes, of course she is. The girl probably wouldn't have made it this far without her. I owed her, that's how she found me and Emma." Suddenly she shoved him against the wall and something purple began to glow out of her arm. Remy quickly jumped up and tried to stop her, but couldn't get there in time. She just turned to him, absentmindedly.

"Dere was no need for dat."

"Yeah there was. He would have rated meh out." then she turned and began to walk out of the alley away from him.

"Should'a known ya were there. Guess Ah was too busy concentratin' on othah things." she mumbled.

"Chere?" he called out to her. She paused at the end of the alley, not quite sure of how to proceed with this.

"Rogue, don't do dis. I can help you." She turned around just enough to see him.

"Ah know, but she'll kill ya."

"Non."

"Yes, Remy, just lahke she wants ta kill meh. Well, aftah she gets what she wants from meh."

"An' what dat beh chere?" Rogue just tapped the side of her head.

"Remy knows you can't keep teleportin' everywhere. You usin' yourself up."

"Ah ain't goin' back to the mansion. This has ta end." Remy nodded.

"Don't have to do dat. Maybe we go somewhere else an' you explain things to Remy, mon amour." she turned and walked out of the alley, but not before calling out to him.

"Ya heard everythin' anyway. Don't need ya followin' meh everywhere." He smirked and quickly went to catch up to her.
