Trust is Everything

Remy and Rogue rushed through the forest, the baying of hounds close behind them. Blood pounded in Rogues ears as she ran dodging plants ,and shrubs that were in her path.

The light of the moon bathed them in an eerie glow illuminating the entire forest.

In front of her Remy slowed and peeked his head through a dense bunch of bushes. She slowed also coming to a complete stop behind the thief. He pulled his head back through the bushes and motioned for quiet.

Rogue nodded and followed him as he pushed his way through the brush. There in front of her was a lake. The pale moonlight reflecting off the glassy surface.

Looking around once again before he entered the clearing Remy stepped forward into the open space where the lake resided.

Rogue followed him out and was surprised to see him head straight for the lake instead of around it. She stood there watching as Gambit entered the water sending ripples out around him.

He turned to find Rogue not directly behind him but standing on the shore watching him. Gambit motioned with his hand for Rogue to come forward as his ears pricked up to hear the sounds of dogs coming up behind them.

She moved slowly into the water, the cold seeping in through her uniform causing Rogue to give an involuntary shiver. She moved out into the water, the ripples she caused clashing with the ones coming from Gambit.

When she stood beside him Remy took her hands in his and sighed. "Rogue I need to know something?" he whispered

Rogue looked up into his red on black eyes wondering what he needed to ask at a time like this.

"I was never supposed to bring you here so early, I was supposed to wait another three weeks before bringing anyone with me." He told her quietly.

"Three weeks? Why?" Rogue asked her voice barely above a whisper.

Gambit sighed "Before there had been more of us." He told her quietly "More who went into the battle rings and rescued mutants, there was never a time we were supposed to wait for but then something happened." He continued staring into Rogue's eyes.

"What?" she asked gripping his hands in her own.

"One of our guys was betrayed," Gambit paused thinking of that day "The very mutant they tried to save turned them into the guards. She was tortured and then killed." He told her closing his eyes as he revisited what he had saw that day.

The humans had used it to their advantage and turned the whole scene into a live TV broadcast, they had gathered all of the mutants together locking them in the cages that ringed the entire stadium. And everyone of them had been forced to watch.

He had been there that day, locked in the cages with the others. He had been doing the same the mutant in front of him had, he had been trying to free another mutant captive. That night he had escaped alone unsure of what was going to happen and knowing he needed to be there. At what he thought of as home with his so called family.

In front of him Gambit heard Rogue's silence. He opened his eyes to see her watching him her eyes never wavering from their position.

"So what now?" Rogue asked and Remy could hear it shaking slightly.

"I need to know Rogue can I trust you?" he asked his features carved in stone.

Rogue looked up at him startled. Could he? She didn't know, she had been alone so long never willing to trust someone, she had never stopped to think if she was trustworthy. Would she betray him like that mutant had to his own savoir?

She sighed this battle of trust had plagued her before. It seemed this man in front of her made her think of these things she had never thought of before.

She looked up into Gambit's eyes, the fire there burned making her feel safe.

"You can trust me." She told him "you saved my life when I thought I was lost, you freed me when I thought there was no where for me to go, you've given me my life back, the least I can give to you is trust." She told him her voice barely above a whisper.

Gambit nodded once and moved closer to Rogue. "Hold on to me." He told her moving to hug her close. She gingerly put her arms around him and held on tight. What ever was happening she wasn't about to give up her chance at a new life because she didn't hold on to the man who had saved her. "Take a breath." He commanded her and she drew in a mouthful of air.

Rogue felt his breath stirring her hair as he whispered to himself.

"Three… Two … One."

Suddenly the wet ground under Rogue's and Remy's feet was gone and she let out a startled yell as the two plunged underwater. Rogue and Remy were propelled through a series of slide like tubes, Rogues mouth was filled with water as she hugged Gambit closer.

Suddenly the two mutants were thrown out of the tubing systems and into thin air. Rogue grip on Gambit immediately disappeared as her arms propelled in mid air a moment later the two were plunged back under water as they landed in the deep pool beneath the open tube.

Rogue's arms and legs pumped as she pushed herself to the surface. Rogue had learned to swim when she was very young but with the lack of practice over the years she was barely able to keep her head above water.

The next thing she knew there was a strong arm wrapped around her waist pulling her to the surface. Gambit stood beside her pulling her above the water as he guided her onto a hard surface under the water but high enough to stand on.

She coughed up water and pulled in mouthfuls of air filling her empty lungs. She heard a noise to her left and peaked open one eye to see a teen aged boy run out through an open doorway another teen ,older though, was walking toward them.

"Gambit what are you doing here?" The young man asked surprise written all over his face as well as mistrust.

"Taking a swim." Gambit told him sarcastically as he pulled Rogue to her feet. And led her out of the water.

The teen threw Rogue an uncertain look then turned back to Gambit. "Your not supposed to be here for another three weeks." He whispered quietly trying to block Rogue out of the conversation.

Remy was saved from answering as the younger teen returned with a group of behind him.

Rogue immediately backed up until she was almost hidden behind Gambit she was ready to fight but this was his scene and he knew these people.

Her eyes traveled around the room taking in the people who had entered. There were about five adults with him

"What are you doing here Gumbo?" a gruff looking man growled his eyes resting not on the man he was speaking on but Rogue.

"What am I not allowed here any more?" Gambit growled ringing water out of his trench coat.

"You know what I mean." The same man growled.

'Does it matter I'm back and I brought someone with me." He said moving to the side so Rogue was fully exposed to these new people. "and may I remind you your being very rude." Gambit said.

Rogue could tell that was another comment to keep him from having to answer the pending question.

Gambit glared at the occupants of the room daring any of them to comment on his refusal to answer.

"Everyone this is Rogue." He said indicating to the woman beside him.

Rogue eyes traveled around the room taking in all of the people watching her. She shivered as the cold from the water finally reached her. Noticing this the teen that had been in the room when they entered detached himself from the group and picked up a blanket up off a stool he shook it off before handing it off to Gambit who draped it around Rogue's shoulders. She sent a thankful look both Gambits' and the teens way before readjusting it around herself.

"Rogue these five are the creators of the resistance." He said waving his hand toward the adults who had entered a few minutes ago.

A bald man in a wheelchair wheeled forward extending his hand out to the young woman. Rogue made sure her gloves were on properly before hesitantly taking the old mans hand.

"My name is Professor Charles Xavier it's a pleasure to meet you." He told her kindly before turning to introduce her to the others. He indicated with hand another older man who had shocking silver hair and bright blue eyes, and a younger lady whose skin was a bright blue and hair was orange.. "This is Eric 'Magneto Lensherr and Raven 'Mystique' Darkholme. Both helped me begin the resistance." He told her.

Rogue nodded her head in understanding but her eyes were trained on Mystique, just as Mystique's eyes were trained on her. She didn't know where but Rogue was sure she had seen this woman before once when she was very young. A memory came to her mind but she didn't know where from the image was blurry and she couldn't quite make It out.

Rogue cried as the house burned around her there in front of her was her mother trapped by collapsed roof.

"Mom!" she screamed and watched in horror as…

Suddenly Rogue was snapped out of her memory when someone else began to speak again.

"Rogue these two…" Gambit said motioning to indicate the other adults "are Logan also known as Wolverine and Ororo also known as Storm."

Ok I was going to make this chapter longer but my computer is messed up. We talked to the computer guy and he said out computer was going to flip out soon so I have so save everything and pray nothing gets ruined.

Please forgive me for not updating in so long but like I said my computer is on the frits and giving me hell. I barley got this written.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me ideas about what you want to see well Remy and Rogue are with the resistance.

If I don't come up with more stuff then this story (if it ever gets finished) will probably be a lot shorter then I planned.

PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME IDEAS AND WHAT YOU THINK
