Rogue punched and kicked at that punching bag with all her rage. She was
furious! She couldn't believe her luck! Remy! Gambit! Oh, and the other
option, Magneto. Nope, that Definitely wasn't an option! Why had fate done
this to her? Why?! First it takes touch away, then gives it to her in
someone that drives her crazy! Someone that could never hold on to any
relationship!
A hand landed onto her shoulder so suddenly that her reflexes acted before she could think. She threw a high and powerful kick at whoever was behind her as she turned.
It was none other then Remy Lebeau and he just barely ducked the blow. "Woaw dere chere, don want t'hurt a member o' yer own team now!" He said, lifting his hands up in surrender.
"Don't be so sure!" Rogue growled, throwing a punch at his face. He seemed a bit surprised by this but easily blocked it. Rogue narrowed her eyes on him then did two back hand springs to get to the wall of the gym where there was a wide variety of weapons.
Once there, she retrieved a pair of sais. (A/N: If you don't know what those are, watch The Mummy Returns {Where Neffiritti and Anaksunamun duel.} or Dare Devil. {Where Electra fights Bullseye} ^_^ I just got a pair and they're awesome!) She turned around and looked at him menacingly.
"Oh? Y'want t'be dat way?" Gambit asked. He then pulled out of his trench coat a short metal stick. He then tossed his trench coat aside and pulled out two ends to the staff to make it longer and good for fighting.
"Yo're lucky Cajun," Rogue began as she brought one sai down at him. "If Ah hadn't been wearin' so much lipstick on that motorcycle, yo' would'ave been unconscious!"
Remy cocked an eyebrow as he blocked a rather powerful swing from Rogue's left sai. "O?" He asked.
"Well, y'know this powah o'mihne?" Rogue asked as she stabbed in at his chest and getting so close it actually tore some of his shirt. His eyes widened as he realized just how close that had been. "Ah can't control it! At 'all' time Ah could kill ya bah touchin' you." Rogue finished.
"Well den, dat does change t'ings." Gambit replied.
"Ah thought so!" Rogue growled as Gambit blocked another blow; this one so powerful it jarred all the way up to his shoulder.
Gambit nodded. "Dad just makes y' a bigger challenge." He replied, taking a step back to catch a sai stabbing in at his chest.
Rogue howled in anger and slashed down at him viciously with the other sai. Gambit had to completely move away to avoid that attack.
"That's all Ah am to you!" Rogue yelled. "Bug that Jean girl! Leave me alone!"
"But Gambit don like Jean, he like Rogue. Gambit replied with a smirk. The Jean girl had been a game. She was an X-men, he had been messing with her. Pyro had even joined in. Didn't Rogue see that it was just a game? But then again, so far just about all his victims had been a game.
Rogue raised an arm to make another blow but Gambit dropped his bow staff and grabbed her wrist with such speed she was surprised she could even partially comprehend his movements.
With her wrist in hand he spun her around so her back was facing him and he wrapped his arms around her so tight she could barely move.
Rogue struggled his grasp, but his hold was spectacular! Her body was pressed up tightly against his and she felt cluttered, but oddly warm and comfortable at the same time. Her head fit right onto his shoulder, but she didn't rest it there, she continued struggling.
"Let meh go!" She screamed in anger.
Gambit tutted in disapproval. "I'd have t'ought Mystique would have tought y'never t'fight in anger." He scolded.
"Shut up Swamp Rat! Y'don't understand!" Rogue growled as she tried to slip out of his arms, but it didn't get her anywhere.
"Yer right, I don't. I bet it'd be horrible t'not be able t'touch." Remy replied. He then adjusted Rogue in his arms, brining his left all the way around her so his other hand could go free. Rogue had tried to break from his grasp during this, but hadn't been able to.
"Let meh go!" Rogue demanded as she continued to struggle.
"Not yet. Y'need t'calm down p'tite." Remy replied. He then gently pushed her hair to the side of her neck. She stopped struggling and tried to look at him, but it was hard to see somebody directly behind you. Especially when your body was pinned against theirs.
Remy then lightly blew air across the back of her neck. Rogue shivered then immediately tensed as her hair bristled slightly. It felt like a gentle caress and as he continued to blow cold air onto her neck it sent shivers of pleasure down her spine.
Her body began to relax slightly and she closed her eyes lightly enjoying the feel of the cool air caressing her skin.
Remy then blew air across the side of her neck and he smiled as he felt her relax her head onto his shoulder. He gently ran his fingers through her hair affectionately and she eased a bit more.
Rogue felt warm and comfortable, almost sleepy, and her thoughts were lost in sheer bliss. Her whole body was more relaxed then she could have ever remembered. Her hands were so loose the sais were hanging loosely at the end of her fingertips. She wasn't paying attention to them though, she was relishing the feel of fingers running gently across her scalp and through her hair.
Remy looked down at her and grinned. His eyes traveled down across the smooth curves of her face and rested on her lips. There was no lipstick there. He frowned.
"Aw, why'd y'take yo lipstick off?" Remy whined in disappointment.
Rogue's eyes snapped open. She became tense again as she realized who was holding her or that she was being held at all. She mentally cursed herself for giving into him, even if it had been for a brief moment. She pushed away from Remy's now loose grasp and whirled around to face him. "So if y'tried t'kiss meh again y'd end up on the ground!" Rogue lied in an angry growl while throwing the sais to the ground.
She turned on her heal and began walking away.
"Rogue! Wait!" Remy attempted to call her back. What had he done wrong now? Rogue didn't stop though. "Rogue!" He said even louder. She still didn't stop. "Marie!"
She stopped; abruptly. She whirled around to face him and rage like he'd never seen before flared behind her eyes. "Ah don't know where y'learned that, but don't 'ever' call me that again!" She roared as she began walking toward him.
Remy backed up as Rogue approached him. Suddenly her hand was coming down and with a loud 'THWACK' he stumbled back wide eyed and in pain. She had slapped him so hard he even fell backward in surprise and pain.
He watched her go, a hand held to his cheek.
He shook his head. "Dat girl can hit! Humph, dis is embarrassin'! " He commented as he got to his feet and knew he was going to have a bruise.
~
Rogue tore off her gloves as she walked back to her room. She looked down at them. She felt a little bad for hitting Remy that hard, but she absolutely refused to be called Marie and if someone insisted on it, they'd certainly hear from her!
She looked up from her hand and gasped as she realized that she was just about to walk into Sabertooth. He hadn't noticed her either, not until she had gasped that is. He held out his hands to try and avoid a collision, but this was probably the worse thing he could have done. His hand came into contact with hers and they both gasped as Rogue began to absorb him.
At first she couldn't pull away as she felt his enhanced senses flow into her along with memories and enhanced strength. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she was pulled away.
Sabertooth fell to the ground unconscious and Rogue felt a sudden and utter pain sear through her body. The pain only increased as her canines grew longer and pointed. Her nails grew too, into claws. Her hair also grew longer.
She screamed in pain as she transformed. Once she was fully transformed she was shaking and she fell back and into someone's arms. Her head was spinning as she looked up to see Piotr in his metal form. Without a word he scooped her up and walked her to her room. Rogue's headache went from bad, to worse as forest mist swarmed into her nose and lungs a million times worse then she'd ever smelt it before. The smell was so intense that if she wouldn't have known that it was forest mist, she wouldn't have been able to comprehend the kind of smell.
Piotr laid her on her bed and quickly left. To help Sabertooth probably. She took a deep breath and choked. She began to cough and sputter at the taste that was filling her mouth. She could taste the smell! She rolled over and got to her feet with difficulty. She swayed a bit, but soon she found her way out of her room and headed for the bathroom.
"Wow there Sheila! What happened to you?!" An Australian accent boomed into her ears. Too loud! Her hands flew to her ears and she held them as tightly as she could. "Rogue?" Pyro asked in a concerned voice. "What happened? What's wrong?"
"Ah; it was an accident! Ah didn't mean ta!" Rogue said suddenly.
"What? What didn't you mean to do?" Pyro asked.
"Ah, Ah ran int' Sabertooth. Ah absorbed him! Mah head!" Rogue groaned.
"You absorbed Sabertooth?" St. John asked in disbelief. "What's wrong with your head?"
"Please, leave meh alone! The smell, the noise!" She complained. And it was true. She could smell the boy. It wasn't strong, but faint. It was like a fingerprint. . . that you could smell. The noise though, that was horrible. Everything, she could hear everything. She could hear the quiet inhale and exhale of his breath!
"Just, leave meh be!" Rogue said quickly and she ran into the bathroom and quickly closed the door. She looked into the mirror. She could see everything better now too. Curves and glints she had never seen before appeared before her on her face. She looked really different, and yet he same. She actually thought it improved her appearance personally.
She waited in the bathroom for a while. She didn't want to run into anybody for fear of regaining her headache and she certainly didn't want to go back to her room. The smell was way too strong. She didn't need another headache!
When the cat like features began to diminish, she heard a nock at the door. Her enhanced senses were beginning to fade and she opened the door. Piotr was there.
"I was worried about you, you weren't in your room." He said, eyeing her really long hair.
"Sorry, Ah couldn't stand bein' in there. The incense was too strong." Rogue explained. "How's Sabertooth? Are they upset?" Rogue asked worriedly.
"Sabertooth's defiantly upset, but Magneto understands that it was an accident. He still didn't seem too pleased though."
Rogue cringed. She then took some of her hair into her hand. "Ah think Ah need t'get a hair cut."
Piotr shook his head. "Don't get too much cut off, it looks good long." He replied with a kind smile. Rogue returned it. She then held up her arms and looked at them with a disgusted look.
"Ah nevah thought Ah'd say this, but, Ah hafta shave mah legs 'and' arms." She shook her head in embarrassment and Piotr actually laughed. It was the first time she had heard him laugh. She smiled at him, then shut the door and started the water to the shower.
"Great, jus' great. Ah have all this hair on meh and there's no bath!" She groaned.

I see that most of you liked the keeping of the pictures. I thought that'd be cute! Glad you enjoyed it!
cool-chick-rae: Yes.. I was surprised at his age too. I checked out the ages of the acolytes for that chapter and was quite surprised to see the Remy was older then Piotr. *shrugs* I'll live though. And I'll have to figure out away around the age thing for Remy when going to school. I figure something out though!
AthenaAlpha: I don't really think that his metal being weak would be an excuse. I mean, they even had Rogue touch Remy and absorb him when she's not suppose to be able too. I don't know why they did it. but it disappoints me! *sniffles* // I might be able to fit in some Rogue and Jean fighting. It will be a while though probably if I do, but I'm not making 'any' promises! ^_^
Guidi: ^_^ You amuse me. lol. Don't worry though.. that's not a bad thing!
Barbara Ruiz: yeah. I always figured Scott had a thing for green eyes. Hmmm. but I can't say that for sure in the show, because he doesn't really seem to have a crush on Rogue. At first it seems a bit like it. . . but. . . you know. lol.
Red Fox7: I refuse to answer all your questions (partially because I haven't come up with some of the answers yet. Lol) but as for Mystique being mad at Rogue, no, she's made a Magneto. (
Jessad: I have read Magnetic Personalities and I wish that person would update the sequel to that (or is Magnetic Personalities the second one?) soon! That's a great story! Hey everyone!!! Read that story! Magnetic Personalities! It's really great. But sorry, Romy's my favorite couple and that's almost certainly what this is going to be. Please forgive me, but I just love Romy.
