So! I posted the first chapter so fast that I forgot to do my little blurb! So here it is. Better late then never.
I do not own the X-men in any way shape or form. However, I wouldn't mind owning Gambit. Oh the things I would do... hehehehe... ah crap. I think my husbands coming... lol
Anyways... here's the second chapter.
"Don't you try the queen of diamonds boy... she'll beat you if she able. You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet." - The Eagles - Desperado.

AJ headed down the hall, knocking on the large oak door before pushing it open.
"Oh. Sorry… just looking for Xavier."
"Chuck ain't here Betty Boop." Logan grunted from the large chair behind the desk.
"Nice one. Too bad no one was around to hear it Tiger." AJ grinned, fluffing her short black hair. "Where is he?"
"He left on business. Believe it or not, some of us work around here."
She pressed her lips together before letting out a sharp breath.
"What's on yer mind?"
"Nothing."
He narrowed his eyes. "Don't believe ya."
"That's too bad then, isn't it?"
"Hey, if y'don't wanna talk t'me, that's fine." Logan stood up.
"It's about Gambit. He called." AJ crossed her arms. "I was just hoping that Xavier would be able to help me… find him."
Logan frowned. "Don't go doin' anything stupid kid. You're a part of a team now, not some lone rider out t'save the planet. Those girls look up t'you… don't really know why but they do. So you better start settin' a good example."
"Just like you. Right?"
He growled.
"Look. You'll be happy to know that I wasn't planning on going anywhere. I just wanted Professor X to check up on him."
"I'll leave him a message. Just don't over analyze it… that's your weakness."
"Really?" She raised an eyebrow "And here I was… thinkin' you were my weakness."
He squared his jaw as she took a step towards him; away from the door seconds before it opened.
"Sorry." Storm smiled "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"Not at all." AJ said keeping her eyes fixed on his. "I was just about to leave."

Kitty sat on Rogue's bed, hugging the green throw pillow against her chest. "It's so romantic…"
"Ah wish you'd go away…" Rogue shook her head.
"Well it is!" Kitty grinned. "You haven't heard from him in six months… and now he calls you for one final goodbye."
Jubilee let out a deep sigh "I can't believe he's never coming back."
"Is that what he told you?" Kitty frowned. Jubilee nodded.
"So he called for one final goodbye… and he's never coming back?" Kitty bit her lip.
Rogue shook her head. "Somethin' smells fishy… ah think he's in trouble. Damn fool's too proud t'ask for help."
"How do you know that?" Jubilee frowned.
"Ah can just… tell."
"We could ask AJ. If anyone has any idea, it'll be her." Kitty said with a nod.
They all zipped down the hallway, screeching to a halt when they found AJ closing Xavier's office door behind her.
"I'm staying out of it…" AJ shook her head, holding her hands up as she passed them.
"What do you know?" Kitty took AJ's arm to stop her.
"I promised not to tell… and I'm staying out of it." AJ pulled her arm away from Kitty's grip and headed down the hall.
"Is he in trouble AJ?" Rogue called after her.
AJ hesitated before shaking her head. "No." She smiled lightly. "Everything's fine Rogue. He just… misses you."
She turned around and continued down the hall.
Rogue let out a small breath, pressing her lips together. "It ain't right… somethin' doesn't feel right…"
"Y'know for someone that's done with the guy, you sure care an awful lot." Jubilee grinned.

It was a short one... I know... but there's more to come! More action and such! WOOT!
And romy. incase you didn't guess... this is major romy. Ps. I HATE when people put two names together to create one UBER name... like Tomkat... or bennifer... or ROMY... but I do it anyways? Why? I don't really know. Maybe it's because of the sick feeling of satisfaction I get when people REVIEW!
lol... that was really random.
Please review! It makes me feel good about myself... (looks down pathetically) :)
