One by One the Souls Will Take You Over
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The title is a line from a song called 'And Don't Forget To Breathe' by A Static Lullaby.
Summary: This is a different story that is set in a parallel universe-mainly focusing on Rogue and Gambit, set after the end of the second season. Rogue never joined the x-men, in fact she has never has meet them instead she joined the Acolytes. Romyness eventually. Note: Rogue has a different past in this story. It will be explained as the story continues.
Author's Note: Really, really sorry about not updating earlier, except I was really busy. My older sis's college graduation was two weekends ago in VA, and then I had a concert and a play I was in the next week, and my brother's eagle scout court of honor thing was this past weekend, not to mention my teachers have decided to pile on shit loads of work, quizzes, test, and essays of course, so sorry for the shortness of it. Not to mention 'end of the year projects'. Which I have one in every class. Needless to say I am extremely busy. (Grrr on the world)

Chapter Eight: Scheming
Three days had past since the incident in the library, without anymore confrontations. Well, at least between Remy and Rogue, Sabertooth on the other hand had tried to take several swipes at Rogue, ending with him either lying on his ass, or pinned up against a wall by a metal pole… yet again. Needless to say, he wasn't exactly taking it very well that Rogue managed to kick his ass twice.
Rogue was just altogether avoiding Remy, as he was to her since he didn't want Rogue to bring down the wrath of his wife, Belladonna, onto him. And, of course, Pyro was having a gay old time poking fun at Remy for having a wife. As expected, John ended up in the med lab several times over the next couple of days.
Magneto on the other hand, was having almost as much fun as Pyro, planning his next assault against the X-men. Which lead up to the meeting this morning, he was finally going to let his team know the plan of attack.

Rogue walked slowly towards Magneto's briefing room. She was dreading this meeting. It would be the first time she would really be spending any time with her so called teammates since her first early morning training sessions. That is unless you count the numerous attacks on her life by Sabertooth or the few seconds it took for someone to more or less flee from a room the second she walked into it.
However no matter how long Rogue tried to delay it, ultimately there was no more prolonging the encounter, so she simply just opened the door and walked into the room.
"Ahh, Rogue, I see you finally made it. Please sit down," Magneto said as soon as she entered the room. Rogue however chose to ignore his request and simply decide to lean up against the wall to her left. Magneto, without skipping a beat, continued on. "Rogue, since you have yet to encounter the X-men, I have prepared some files on them for you to read." He said tossing them towards her.
Rogue glanced through some of them catching such names as, Storm, Spike, and Shadowcat. She smirked slightly, before sliding them across the table back towards Magneto. "Ah absorb memories bucket head, Ah already know wha they do."
"Oy, Sheila, you absorb the X-Men?!" Pyro questioned.
Resisting for about a second, she rolled her eyes, turning towards Pyro, " Ah absorbed ya memories of memorizin' the files, an' of ya past battles with the X-Men."
"Oh," Pyro, said, shrinking into his chair, for fear of her wrath.
"Well, since that is settled, I have planned to attack the X-Men tomorrow. Rogue, you're our secret weapon, so I want you to stay back until you are needed Sabertooth, you will take Logan-" He grinned wolfishly, at the same time that rogue snorted. "Do you have something to say Rogue?"
" Yeah, ah do. Ya suck at plannin' Mags. As far as yoah lackeys remembah, ya have been usin' the same plan. An' ya wondah why the x-freaks beat ya every time."
"And I suppose you have a better plan? Lets hear it then." Magneto said irritably.
"Well if old Sabby ovah heah would attack the X-kiddies, and leave Wolverine ta meh, then, they wouldn't know wha ta do with themselves."
As soon as Rogue finished her little speech, Magneto's face broke out into a malevolent smile. "Ah take it ya like it."
