Chapter 5- Reasons and Admitting
The Grandfather clock in the Lounge chimed loudly signalling 9 O'clock in the X-mansion. A defining silence followed as several pairs of eyes looked up to the grand clock which stood majestic and imposing.
"Do you like think he's gunna be like okay?" Kitty said aloud, knowing this was the very question plaguing many of the assembled people's minds.
"Da, Remy is a fighter. He Vill be fine." Poitr spoke up smiling at the young girl. Kurt took this moment to assess the room. Everyone at the mansion was currently in the room, an unease had spread. So far Gambit had been unconscious for 10 hours; Mr McCoy and Jean were working around the clock to do everything they could for him.
"Has Rogue come out of her room yet?" Scott asked Kitty breaking the silence.
"No, not since… well not since the incident." Kitty said nervously, her, Kurt, Logan, Jean, Scott and Wanda were under strict authority from Xavier not to give away too many details of what had happened. Charles respected Rogues privacy. He knew she would not appreciate the entire mansion finding out the events of earlier that day. So he entrusted the other witnesses to keep their mouths shut.
However, that did not stop the rest of the mansion gossiping about the events.
"I heard Rogue got angry at Remy, and then drained him, Xavier had to pry her off." Jubilee exclaimed to the other new recruits.
"Really I heard Rogue was so annoyed with Remy's flirting, she really did cut off his…hmm hmm." Amara said, Tabby laughed out loud.
"Hmm hmm? You mean his di…"
"Tabitha!" Amara interrupted quickly, trying not to blush a deep red. This caused Tabby to laugh louder, this gained the attention of the rest of the room.
"No way, ain't it Obvious Rogue fell in love with Remy, found out he was cheating on her, then stabbed him. Now she's on the run." Bobby explained dramatically. Kitty and Kurt frowned at the new recruits.
"Like why don't you find something else to do like instead of gossiping and spreading rumours about Rogue." Kitty snapped angrily at them.
"You mean Rogue didn't stab Remy? Cut off any appendages? Or drain him?" Bobby asked seriously.
"No she didn't, you dumbass." Wanda shouted, glaring at them all. Bobby was about to retort when the door opened and Hank strolled in followed by a gloomy looking Jean and a downcast Xavier.
"You okay?" Scott asked putting a comforting arm around Jean.
"Yes, its just…" Jean was interrupted by Hank, who was calling the attention of the room.
"Everyone, as you may know Remy has recently had an accident. Now most of you will have guessed this has something to do with a certain person living at this mansion. This was not an intended occurrence, or anything done out of malice. It was simply an accident, which I want you all to treat as such. For those of you who would like to know Remy is currently suffering a Coma. He is stable at this time in present, and we expect will remain as such." Xavier announced, receiving several shocked faces and several dismal expressions, all thinking the same thing.
"When will he wake up?" Wanda asked on behalf of them all.
"It's hard to tell, it could be in a minute, it could be next week." Hank answered.
"But he will wake up right mates?" John enquired.
"Yes. Now then I would advise you all to go about your business as usual." Xavier finished before ushering everyone off.
Kitty, Kurt, Jean, Scott and Wanda stayed in the room as everyone else vacated.
"You like think Rogue is gunna be okay?" Kitty said saddened.
"Mein Schwester is strong, sie vill get through zis." Kurt smiled and gave Kitty a reassuring hug.
"Yes she is strong, but all these emotional changes I fear will throw her off edge." Jean exclaimed worriedly. Scott looked questioningly at her.
"How so?"
"I can sense it so strongly from Rogue, she is confused and lonely. From when Rogue got her powers, she built this wall around her to stop people getting in. However in doing so she also blocked herself from getting out. She's ashamed she feels such emotions for Remy, and now she knows he feels these back, she doesn't know what to do. She has spent her life pushing people away, forbidding herself to love. Then all of a sudden along comes Remy, a good-looking, flirtatious temptation, He seems to be immune to her icy attitude and keeps coming back for more, pushing her boundaries to their limits. I don't know how someone can feel such self hatred for ones self. But she does, she Wants to love. Really she does, but she can't seem to remove her mask." The speech Jean gave seemed very logical to the others, it explained a lot of things.
"Poor Rogue. But I have to wonder is there something else behind all of this?" Scott pondered.
"Of course there is, we all have our demons. Rogue seems like a big mystery, but if you took your time to talk to her, really talk to her, you'll find out how easy to read she is." Wanda said solemnly, Kitty and Kurt nodded.
"Von zing I haff learned about mein schwester is, nezer and I mean nezer feel pity for her. It just reminds her of somezing she misses. Alzo through my experience nezer try and push her into anyzing." Kurt let out a small grin as he remembered those times he tried to push Rogue into socialising and getting her a hobby, the outcome for Kurt wasn't exactly good.
The small group all nodded.
"Like I'm sure everything will sort itself out. Let's leave this between Rogue and Remy. I think we like should keep our noses butted out. I really don't wanna feel Rogues wrath again." Kitty shifted uncomfortably as Wanda broke out into a grin.
"Yeah, but sometimes things work out for the better." Jean grinned up at Scott, Rogues punishment for her, although was a little harsh at first, it sure did make her realise how much Scott meant to her.

Upstairs Rogue sat on her bed rocking backwards and forwards hugging her pillow. Her makeup was severally smudged and dried mascara stained her cheeks with several hour's worth of tears. Rogue was lost in her own thoughts as she gently rocked.
'Ah gotta go see him, ah hope he's alraght. What tha hell was he thankin' kissin' meh? If he dies its his own fault.'
'Wait scratch that, its ma fault, ah shoulda stopped him from kissin' meh, but gawd, it felt so friggin raght. Oh gawd Marie what are ya thinkin? Ah'm not even Marie any more ah'm Rogue, ah can't show emotion, ah can't love.'
'Love? What is love anyway? He can't love meh, afterall he said he THINKS he loves meh, not that he does. Ah Christ what am ah doin? Suck it up gall an go see him!'
'But what if he hates meh now? He's in a coma for cryin out loud, all cause a meh. If he did love meh a'fore, he'll hate meh now. Same as Cody, same as everyone else that a suck tha life outta.'
' but that kiss…mah second kiss…It was so…so…ARRGGHH wha is it with meh an kissin guys then stickin em in a coma? Ah friggin hate meh life, why was ah even born? Ah don't deserve ta live… But ah dun wanna die. Wonder if Remy's gunna be ok?'
'Well there's one way ta fahnd all tha answers'
Rogue sat for a moment as the inner battle with herself raged on in her head. Finally she decided, moping around would not help things.

Rogue crept downstairs, hoping not to run into anyone and silently made her way toward the infirmary.
Once inside Rogue instantly found who she was looking for. 3 beds down on the left lay a very still, very unconscious Remy Lebeau.
Rogue rushed towards his bed and took the seat on his right; she looked at him with an expression filled with guilt. She listened to the deafening bleep of the life monitor and couldn't help but quietly sob. 'What have ah done?'
"What have ah done? Oh Remy ahm so, So sorrah. Its all ma fault, if ah had control then this…this wouldn't have… Oh Remy!" Rogue burst out into sobs as she laid her head onto Remy's chest. She rested there for several minutes before lifting her head up and hastily wiping away the tears.
"Oh Remy, please forgive meh." Rogue stated as more tears fell. She was so lost in her guilt and sadness; she neglected to notice Remy slowly moving his hand. Rogue jumped when she felt a hand rest on her own.
"Ah, ah thought ya were in a coma!"
"Remy woke up a lil while ago." Remy sat himself up in bed gingerly as his whole body ached. Rogue looked shocked beyond words, she just stared at him through disbelieving eyes. "Chere, dere be nuttin to forgive, ya hear me?" Rogue nodded her head and Remy grinned at her.
"Remy, ahm sorrah ah knocked ya out." Rogue apologised noticed Remy's fatigue.
"Chere I tink it was worth it,non? But Remy have ta say, yo give one hell ova kiss." He gave her a lopsided grin as tried to move his body into a more comfortable position. Rogue blushed at his statement "Chere, Remy love it when yo blush."
"Oh shut it Cajun or you'll be goin back inta that coma." Rogue teased loosening up a bit.
"Good ta see yo back ta normal." Remy teased back, earning him a light jab in the arm. He played hurt for a moment, pretending to nurse his arm. Rogue looked at him worried.
"Ah'm so sorrah." Rogue leaned forward to take a look at his arm, when suddenly remy grabbed her and pulled her too him.
"Don worry none chere, Remy be just fine, wit yo in his arms, he be more'n fine.
After all what would Christmas be wit'out dis fun lovin' Cajun."
"Well ah see yoah back to ya sleazy self then Cajun." Rogue smirked but did not move to pull out of his embrace.
"Would ya have it any o't'er way?"
"Well…" Remy fainted a wound, and then rapidly tickled Rogue, who screamed out in laughter. "Remy…Remy…Please…Please stop…please stop it…" Rogue continued to giggle out as Remy relentlessly attacked her ribs.
Eventually Remy stopped tickling Rogue, but didn't let her go.
"Mon dieu, yo have such a beautiful laugh Chere." Remy said seriously as he leaned in closer to Rogue. Her breath hitched in her throat as she feared Remy would kiss her again.
"Please Remy don't." Rogue said as she put a hand against Remys chest lightly pushing him away. "Ah don't wanna send ya inta anothah coma."
"But It'd be worth it." Remy leaned in closer so their faces were merely centimetres apart. "J'adore tu Rogue. Wit' all ma heart." Rogue could feel her eyes again well up with tears.
"But, ah…ah can't."
"No buts chere. I love yo'. I love yo' so much it hurts, please Chere we find a way. Remy promise." Rogue felt a tear slide down her cheek, Remy gently wiped it away with his hand.
"Ah…ah."
"Yo what Rogue?" Remy asked tenderly.
"Ah love ya to, but ma powahs."
"Forget bout dem, fo' now lets just enjoy de moment." Remy pulled Rogue into him for a deep and passionate hug. Rogue clutched a hold of Remy as tears feel freely down her face. She felt like the world had been lifted from her shoulders, she stifled a small smile as she melted into Remy's embrace.
From the doorway Jean and Hank watched the scene play out with smiles on their faces.
"Lets leave them in peace." Hank said before both walked out of the infirmary to leave Rogue and Remy in each others arms.
