She's So High

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound

Listening to the song on the radio his thoughts instantly turned to a green-eyed southerner. The first time he had seen her he knew she was different. Everything about her was real and unique. The gothic face she presented to the world was a part of who she was but it wasn't the whole picture.

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

He knew that no matter how hard he pursued her she would always keep him at arms length. He didn't mind though. Most people thought that he was just in it because she was a challenge and it had started of like that but now it was so much more. He had discovered facets of her that she tried to hide from the world. But he didn't belong in her world.

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

To him she was a queen, a saint and a goddess. On the outside you saw her beauty shining through the heavy make-up she wore and on the inside her heart was kind and pure. She tried to hide it behind a tough exterior but he saw it in the way she had helped him get his father back, even after he had kidnapped her.

First class a fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything

What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

He could see her flaws but that just made him want her even more. Despite her flaws she was still perfect to him. But what could someone like him, someone who had seen and done the things he had, offer a girl like her. But then maybe she would understand. She knew about his past as a thief and yet she still helped him.

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

When she kissed him and took his memories did she know about all that he had done? If she did remember everything about his past what would she say? Would she turn away from him in disgust or would she accept those things as well? She kept her thoughts so close to herself that even he couldn't guess what she would do. When he looks at it he doesn't really know much about her except for what is in her file.

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

She calls to his heart and sometimes it seems as if her heart speaks directly to his. During their first meeting she seemed so unreal. He had been so drawn into her green eyes that he had forgotten about the card he had held until he had reached out his hand to her. It was then that he had remembered that they were supposed to be fighting one another.

'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

He had handed her the charged card in hopes of breaking the spell she had cast over him and distract her so he could get away. He hadn't gone far though. Even then he had stayed to watch her. Each time she had fought he had watched her. She was graceful even when engaged in battle. She seemed to be so full of life when she was fighting.

'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

Just then a door slammed breaking him away from his thoughts.

"Oy, Gambit. What are ya doin' listenin' ta this shit? We gotta go anyway. Seems Magsy wants us ta take on the X-Men."

Smiling broadly, the man known as Gambit stood up and went to join his teammates. Thoughts of a certain southern belle once again filling his head. He might have no chance with his queen but that didn't have to stop him from trying.
