After a bit of reading, the door creaked open. "Rogue?"
Rogue laid the book down. "What?" She asked, facing the door.
It opened further and Remy walked in. He looked around. "Oh! Dat's not fair! Dey give you de biggest room!"
Rogue snorted. "Not mah fault!" Rogue replied.
Remy sighed. "Look, de boys and Remy gon go down and play some basketball. Y'wanna join us?" Remy asked.
Rogue considered this. She had seen basketball played before, but the only time she had was during Phy. Ed at school. She had been pretty good then though.
"Y'll even us out. Dere'd be two on each team." Remy urged.
"Fahne, but Ah'm not any good." Rogue replied, getting out of bed. She slipped her gloves back on and her sheer green over shirt as well. She then walked out after the Cajun.
He led her downstairs then outside. It was mild weather; which was nice.
She saw the house from the outside and it truly was huge. It didn't look like they were in the city either.
Piotr and Pyro were already be the hoop which was attached to a large garage.
"We got a forth player." Remy announced.
Pyro, who was holding the basketball, leapt toward Remy and put his arm around his shoulder. "I claim Remy on my team. Piotr, Rogue'll be on your team." Pyro said.
"Ah feel so loved." Rogue muttered sarcastically.
"You can have the ball first." Pyro said, tossing the ball to Rogue.
Rogue caught it and looked at the hoop. Remy was standing in front of her, trying to make sure she didn't get any closer to it.
Rogue leaned left, and then made a gesture to go right. Remy stepped to her right but she went left, dribbling the ball with her right hand.
Remy recovered instantly and he ran in front of her and tried to steal the ball.
Rogue grabbed the ball and looked for Piotr. He had just easily shoved Pyro away and was holding his hands at the ready to catch the ball.
Remy wouldn't let her throw the ball though. He was really close now and she could smell his sweet cologne.
Rogue threw the ball under Remy's legs and it bounced up behind him. He turned around with alarming speed, but Piotr had been right behind the Cajun and had just gripped it in his hand when Remy had turned.
Piotr began dribbling toward the basket and Rogue tried to stay near, but Remy was doing a good job at blocking her.
Pyro tried to steal the ball, but Piotr turned his back to him and backed into Pyro and he fell to the ground. Piotr turned, waltzed to the basket and they made their first point.
"Okay, we start this one!" Pyro said, tossing Remy the ball.
Rogue stood in front of him, ready to block. She didn't think she'd really be able to stop him though.
He dribbled it to the left and Rogue followed, reaching a hand out to try and bat the ball away. He turned away quickly, throwing the ball to Pyro who had ran from Piotr. Piotr was running at him now though.
Remy had escaped her and was by the hoop, holding his hands out ready to catch the ball.
Rogue hurried after him, but Pyro had already thrown the ball. Remy caught it and threw it up and it went into the basket.
"Yeah!" Pyro shouted in glee. Remy then bounced the ball to Piotr who had backed up.
Pyro was blocking him again, but he was like a bulldozer. He knocked into Pyro and he fell onto his back. Remy gave up his post and ran to the huge teen, trying to block him. This left Rogue open and she moved to the hoop.
Remy was doing a good job at preventing Piotr from getting closer to the net. He kept dodging in and out for a chance to capture the ball, then back out so he wasn't knocked away.
Piotr looked out and saw Rogue at the hoop. Remy had seen where Piotr had looked.
"Pyro! Guard Rogue!" Remy yelled. Piotr had just managed to throw the ball over Remy's head though and Rogue caught it. Pyro was running toward her but she was shooting the ball now. She had made their second point.
Pyro took the ball, ready to start. Rogue smiled. She could just imagine Pyro trying to get past Piotr with the ball. She didn't have to imagine it for long though, because Pyro had begun to dribble.
Rogue kept her body between the Cajun's and Pyro and Piotr's but it was beginning to bother her. Remy seemed to be enjoying himself too much.
'Bout time t'change blockers Ah think.' Rogue thought as she stepped in front of Remy, but could feel his breath on her forehead.
Pyro was throwing the ball to Remy. Rogue jumped up to try and catch it, but right before the ball had landed in her hands, larger ones grabbed the ball and moved the ball away. She tried to step in front of him but his shoulder knocked into hers with a good amount of force and she had to stagger backwards to keep her balance and not fall. By the time Rogue had looked back at the Cajun though, he had made a point.
He turned back to her with a grin and threw the ball to her as he walked toward her.
Rogue dribbled to the right but Remy was there in a second. She tried to dodge to the right, but he was quick and blocked her and almost even stole the ball. Rogue turned her back to him and tried to dribble away that way, but still Remy was there to block her.
At one point she nearly got past him, but he had jumped in her way just in time and without really realizing it, he had placed his hands on her hips and was feeling her next move milliseconds before she made them.
'He bettah let go!' Rogue growled as she tried to dodge left. By this time he had realized that his hands were on her hips and he grinned. She hadn't said anything yet.
Rogue stepped forward to try and slip away from Remy's hands, but he just followed. Rogue stopped dribbling and turned to face him, her body sliding under his hands till they were on opposite hips and it sent a wave of shivers through her. The ball clutched tightly in her arm.
"Don' touch meh!" She growled, pushing him and his hands away. He had been directly in front of her though, noses only inches apart. "Touchin's illegal anyway!"
Remy laughed. "Oh, y'don know yet do ya? Dere no rules 'cept get de ball in de hoop t'score and once one team scores, de next team starts." Remy smirked.
Rogue smirked too. "No rules aye? Fihne!" Rogue tossed the ball and it hit Remy in the face then bounced back, landing in Rogue's hands. Remy staggered back a second holding his nose while Rogue traveled to the hoop and scored.
Pyro laughed and pointed at Remy and Piotr just chuckled.
"No rules?" Piotr questioned in amusement.
Pyro shook his head. "Yup, no rules."
"Alright!" Piotr grinned. Suddenly, his hands were covered in metal, then his face. Everywhere that skin was visible seemed to be covered in metal.
Pyro groaned at this. "'Ey, Gambit, I think you should block him."
Remy mock frowned. "But Gambit having too much fun blocking p'tite."
Pyro glared at him. "But at least you can block him! I can't!" Pyro said, jabbing in Piotr's direction.
"Not no more I can't. Not wit him bein' metal!" Remy defended.
"No, no, go ahead. Block Piotr." Rogue said with a grin. They did switch for a bit, but somehow they managed to switch back. Rogue and Piotr won by one point, only because they had went first. They had all used their power at some point except Rogue. Pyro had made a wall of fire so neither Piotr nor Rogue could get closer to the hoop. Piotr just took the ball and jumped through the fire wall. His clothes had started on fire, but right after throwing the ball Pyro put it out for him. The metal had protected his skin and the ball was only scorched. Remy had just kinetically charged the ball sometime when he had been in possession so no one would try to steal the ball from him. Right before he made the shot he had drawn the kinetic energy out and the ball didn't explode.
After the game, Rogue decided to take a shower even though she already had that day. She was all sweaty now though, so she figured she needed one.
