~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hostage?!" Rogue questioned.
"Well… kind of. My family's ill and-" Piotr began.
Rogue was suddenly overwhelmed by a headache. It became so bad her vision went black and she completely lost any sense of her senses. A memory had tried to come to her but it had been to far buried. She tried to reach the memory but it wasn't hers. She began to dig for it all the same. Sabertooth's mind, that's what she was looking for! She searched for information on Piotr but the headache began to grow even worse and Rogue was just aware of the tears running down her cheeks.
Suddenly she found what she was looking for and she exited his mind. As she came out of her head the headache began to fade and finally she could see, hear, feel…
She looked up to see Piotr holding her up and looking down at her concerned. She suddenly felt really bad for the teen though. She would have stood but she was too weak.
"Piotr, Ah need t'tell ya somethin', but Ah don't know if ya want t'hear it." Rogue warned. "Ah just went through Sabertooth's head jus' now and, Piotr…" She didn't want to continue.
"What is it Rogue?" He asked her, an undertone of fear in his voice. She didn't reply though. "Rogue, tell me." Piotr urged her.
"Yer family, the illness, it killed them." She said quietly and in a wavering voice.
Piotr didn't react at all at first, but his hand dropped and Rogue suddenly had to support herself. She only just could, but on jello legs.
"Dead?" He asked quietly. "All of them?" His voice wavered.
"Not yer sister, she's still alive." Rogue said quietly.
Tears began to well in his eyes. "She's the only one?" He asked with a squeak.
"Ah'm so sorry Piotr! Magneto's been payin' fer her medical bills though…"
"Did he plan to tell me?!" Piotr growled. "No, don't answer that. I think I'd like to be alone."
"Piotr-"
"Please Rogue." He begged. Rogue nodded, then left.
As she left she saw Remy walking down the corridor looking for Piotr. Rogue groaned, she didn't know if she could handle him right then.
"Is Colossus in his room?" Remy asked.
"Yeah, but y'should leave him alone." Rogue said, putting a hand in front of Remy as a sign to stop going towards Piotr.
"But Petey wanted Remy t'remind him when his favorite show is on and it's on." Remy explained.
"Ah don't think he cares rawt now." Rogue said grabbing Remy's arm and pulling him away. He followed.
"P'tite takin' Remy to her room?" Remy asked in a sarcastic happy tone.
Rogue snorted. "Please, don't start that, Ah'm not in the mood!" Rogue said, and by the look he saw in those beautiful green eyes he knew that she meant it.
"Remy, can Ah ask ya a question?" Rogue asked, taking her hand off his arm and stepping back.
After hearing her sober tone he decided not to joke and point out that she just had asked him one. "O'course mon cher." Remy replied seriously.
"What are ya doin' here, wit' Magneto Ah mean." Rogue asked.
Remy shrugged. "Isn' it obvious? Preparin' fo' de war dat's comin. Human's ain't gonna accept us. Dey'll destroy us if dey can." Remy replied.
"But yer not bein' black mailed o' nuthin'… right?" Rogue asked.
"O' course not. No one can get info on Remy 'less he want dem to." Remy replied.
"It doesn' hafta be info though. Perhaps a deal, that's to... risky t'back out of?" Rogue asked.
"Nope, dis is purely free-will." Remy assured her. "As long as he gives me a roof o'er my head an' food t'eat, Remy'll work for him."
"Would you work for him if he didn'?" Rogue asked.
Remy shrugged. "Probably." He replied simply.
"An' do ya know why Piotr and John are here?" Rogue questioned.
Remy shook his head. "Remy assumes it's for de same reasons dough." He looked at her and could tell that something was bugging her. "Why?" He asked.
"Uh, it's nothin'" Rogue said walking past him. He quickly grabbed her wrist and she turned to him.
"Den at least tell Remy what's wrong." Remy said as Rogue pulled her wrist away.
"There's nothin' wrong." Rogue said firmly.
"Chere," Remy said gently.
"It's nothin'! Just leave meh alone!" Rogue growled.
"Now now, how come it is dat every time Remy talks t'ya, y'git mad at him?""
"Cuz he's annoyin'! Oh lord! You're annoying!" Rogue amended.
Remy reached out and grabbed both her wrists and forced her to look him in the eye. "Mon cher, if we be workin' t'gether y'gonna need t'lighten up. Can't be fightin' while we're on de job dis weekend."
"Look who's talkin'!" Rogue growled, attempting to pull her wrist away but Remy didn't let go. "Yer always provoken me with unwanted attention-"
Remy pulled her closer. "It ain't unwanted. One t'ing Remy knows is people, and he know y'want it. Yo believe y'can't have it dough; t'ink dat if y'get it it'll be fake. Well yer getting' it chere, isn't it about time y'gave in?" Rogue hadn't struggled during his shpeal but she did now.
"Yer wrong! Ah don't want it an' Ah don't like what yer doin' t'me!"
"Y'know, you really almost had me fallin' for dat, but t'night I knew it was a mask." He said with a straight face.
"Oh really?!"
"Oui."
"And why do y'think that?!" Rogue demanded, deciding that soon she'd kick him if he didn't let go, but she was still a little weak from her mental exercise.
Remy suddenly gave a fierce pull that brought her to his chest where he held her. "Y'were happy; as y'slept; t'be in someones arms; my arms." Remy whispered into her ear.
Rogue had stopped struggling again for a brief second, then pushed away again. "And how would you know?! Ah didn' know or remember that it was you Ah was layin' on! Ah was jus' happy bein' asleep!" Rogue insisted.
Remy let go of her. "Y'know dat what I said was true. We bot' also know y'll give inta me eventually, why don't y'just make dis easier on de bot' o' us and give in now?"
"Yer wrong Remy! You're wrong!" Rogue said before whirling around and going to her room. Remy just grinned.
~
The next morning Rogue awoke to her alarm clock blaring at six thirty in the morning. Reluctantly she got up and hurried downstairs to the washing room which you could get to by going through the kitchen. When she got there Remy was eating a true Southern breakfast and as she walked past she made sure to snatch some of it. Remy just grinned at her but didn't say anything.
Rogue grabbed her dark ripped jeans, black tank top, and grey long sleeved shirt before heading back upstairs to the bathroom. She felt stressed though after the previous day and took a rather long shower. First school had been treacherous. Remy, Duncan, and then Risty trying to figure out her name and insisting that she go to a party with her. Then she had practiced with the guys till she felt like she couldn't move and had in fact fallen asleep in Remy's arms; and enjoyed it! She hated herself for that, but it was true. And then the thing with Piotr. That was the worst. She had come kind of close to the teen over the past few days and she didn't like to see something like that happen to him.
Once she got out of the shower she wrapped a towel around herself and tied it there. She then began to apply her make-up.
"You better wake him up then mate, he's usually up by six." A voice from outside the bathroom said to someone else. A second later the door was being open.
Rogue screeched and grasped her towel closer to her and Pyro emerged from behind the door. He suddenly stopped when he saw her and his face turned red.
"Out!" Rogue suddenly yelled.
Footsteps on the stone ground outside could be heard. Remy had heard her first scream.
"I-I'm sorry… I-I AHHHHH!" Rogue threw her shoulder into the red head's chest and he flew out of the bathroom and Rogue pulled the door shut immediately.
"Mon Rogue! Are ya alright?" Remy's voice was suddenly heard behind the door.
"Ah'm fihne! Go away!" She yelled, letting herself simmer down. Uh… Ah need a separate bathroom! This was bound t'happen! Rogue thought to herself as she hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the bathroom door. Pyro was waiting there, his face red.
"Sorry Sheila, didn't think anyone was in there." He said.
"Jus' knock next tihme!" Rogue said walking past him angrily.
"Come on Piotr, it's time t'go ta school." She heard Remy saying.
"Remy! Leave him alone!" Rogue said, rushing toward the Cajun who was outside the Russian's door.
"Is he even in dere? Remy hasn' heard from 'im all mornin' but 'is door won't open an' it doesn't have any locks." Remy questioned thoughtfully.
"Finish gettin' ready. Ah'll talk t'him." Rogue said and she beckoned Remy to leave. Reluctantly he did, knowing that he was missing something.
"Piotr, let meh in." Rogue said gently, her hand on the door knob. There wasn't a response. "Come on Piotr, let meh in." She said more firmly this time. "If y'want t'keep yer door let meh in!" Rogue warned.
The handle became loose suddenly and she was able to turn it. She opened the door and a disgruntled Piotr was standing in front of it. He must have been holding the door shut.
"Y'not goin' t'school today?" Rogue asked gently.
Piotr shook his head. "I need to be alone."
"Ah understand. Look, Ah'm sorry about what happened an-"
"No, it's better that I find out now instead of later. Thank you for telling me, but I just need a day to grieve." He replied as calmly as he could.
Rogue felt really bad for him. Colossus was really just a big teddy bear and he was being forced to go around trying to destroy human kind so that his sister could have medical attention.
"Look, if y'eveh need anythin' Ah'm sure me n' the guys'll be there fo' ya." Rogue assured him. "Ah don't know how late we'll be out t'day though. Remy and a girl from school are tryin' t'force me to go ta some new club in town." Rogue cringed.
Piotr let out a short chuckle and sat on his bed. "Good luck." he said.
"Thanks… Ah need it."
~
Rogue sat in her first hour class barely paying attention to the teacher. The X-man, Kurt, was in the seat next to her. For some reason he seemed to be fascinated by her and it was creeping her out. It wasn't like a crush or anything like that, but… well… She had never had a brother before but she imagined that a little brother seeing his big sister in school is much the way Kurt was looking at her.
When she couldn't take it any longer she passed him a note saying: What are you looking at?!
Not too much later she got a response.
When I first saw you in the mall you had shoulder length hair… how is it that it is so long now?
Rogue laughed but didn't reply. Kurt wasn't about to leave her alone though.
Well?
Why are you so interested? Don't forget, I'm the enemy.
Ja, but you haven't showed any hostility towards us yet.
Again Rogue didn't reply and this time Kurt did not urge her, but instead just looked at her intently as if waiting for an answer.
"Shouldn't you be payin' attention?" Rogue whispered when she couldn't stand his gaze any longer.
"Ja, but it's so boring!" He replied back.
Rogue rolled her eyes. "And Ah'm sure that Ah'm so much more interestin'"
"Miss Rogue, is there something you'd like to say to the class?" The teacher suddenly asked.
Rogue quickly turned her head to see the teacher with her arms crossed over her chest and her foot was tapping.
"No ma'am." Rogue said simply.
"Then I advise you not to talk while I am trying to teach, now turn around and get out your book!" She said before turning to the board. Rogue nodded, but didn't do either of those.
~
"Hey mate, wait up. I'm suppose to ask you if there's any more news on that Sheila Mystique and her new plot." Pyro said, laying a hand on Pietro's shoulder.
"Haven'tseenhersinceyoulasttalkedtomeaboutit." Pietro replied before taking a seat.
"Come again?"
"We-haven't-seen-her-since-you-last-talked-to-me-about-it." Pietro repeated slowly.
Pyro nodded. "Well, just remember, keep me updated."
"IwillIwill! Sheesh!" Pietro grumbled. He then sat down and got ready for class to begin.
~
"So Rogue, did that Remy guy talk you into going to that new club with us tonight?" Risty asked at lunch.
"Ah dunno-"
"Come on! You have to go! I even got an outfit for you and everything!" Risty urged her.
"Y'got me an outfit?!" Rogue asked incredulously.
"Yeah… you'll have to try it on before hand of course, I mean, it might not be your size. I think it is though... looks like it would be." Risty said as if in thought. Rogue didn't really care weather it did or not though. She couldn't believe that someone she met just the other day had gotten something for her though!
What if it's really revealin'?! She thought suddenly. "Ah lihke t'stay pretty covered up though so whatever y'got probably won't-"
"Oh good! I've only just met you so I didn't want to assume much but y'kept so covered up that I just assumed-"
"No, it's okay. Thanks." Rogue said, and she meant it.
~
It was P.E. and once again Remy wasn't dressed for it. The teacher was still making him participate though… but that wasn't working out too well.
At some point Duncan and his jock friends came up to him. "Hey Shades boy! Taking after Summers?" Duncan asked in a taunting voice.
Remy turned to look at the blonde boy. Remy shrugged. "Non, Remy just don't t'ink yo'd like to see what's behind his glasses." Remy replied with a grin.
"Oh yeah?" Duncan asked. "I think you're right. I don't think I enjoy anything about you!"
"Oui, dats right. Don't like how he'll be getting de fille befo' yo?" He questioned with a grin.
"Fille?" Duncan asked.
"Oh, dat's right, y'don't know French non?"
Duncan shrugged. "No use in learning it. Don't want to be anywhere where the likes of you are!"
"De likes o' me are much more dangerous den you t'ink homme, so I'd be a little more careful if I was you."
"Oh really? We'll see about that!" Duncan growled before turning away.
~
"Hey Rogue, where did you get that necklace? It's really cool." Risty asked Rogue after school. Rogue had worn the necklace Magneto had given her from Mystique.
"Ah don't know what store it came from, it was a gift." Rogue replied with a shrug.
"Really? From who?" Risty asked.
Rogue just shrugged and opened her locker.
"From a booooy? Or from family?" Risty asked, teasingly with her first suggestion.
"Neither really." Rogue replied and Risty went oddly quiet.
"So chere, y'ready t'go to dat club?" Remy's voice suddenly came to ear.
Rogue scowled. "No! And we aren't goin' till seven thirty anyway!" Rogue pointed out.
"Oh! You must come to my place! You can try on the outfit on that I got you!" Risty said excitedly.
Remy lifted one eyebrow. "Y'got her an outfit?" He asked.
Risty put a hand on her hip. "And is that bad?" She asked.
Remy shrugged. "Guess not, just weird considerin' y'only met her yesterday."
Risty got a look of high amusement that Rogue didn't understand, but nothing much more was said about it.
"Well, Remy goin' to go back wit' John and Remy'll be at Risty's house at seven."
"Half an hour early?" Rogue asked.
Remy shrugged. "Why not? Gonna want t'spend time wit ya chere. De dancing will be fun dough. Can't wait." Remy grinned.
"Oh, you guys talking about that new club?" It was Duncan. The three turned to look at him. "Heard it was good. Hey Rogue, want to go there with me tonight?" He asked.
*flashback*
"I'm-I'm Mat and I was wondering if you would like to do something… … …" He trailed as he looked past her. He began to back away.
Rogue turned and saw Remy leaning against the lockers behind her. He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him.
"Remy-!"
"What were y'sayin' t'my girl?"
"Y'know dat what I said was true. We bot' also know y'll give inta me eventually, why don't y'just make dis easier on de bot' o' us and give in now?"
"Yer wrong Remy! You're wrong!" Rogue said before whirling around and going to her room. Remy just grinned.
*flashback*
"She ain't goin' no where wit' you Jock-"
"Sure, why not? We can double date. Risty and Remy, and me with Duncan."
All three teens gaped at her in surprise.

Sorry it took me so long to update! I know I'm saying this in just about every chapter now but I've had so little time to work on it! Anyway… keep your eyes pealed for my stories being updated on the thirteenth. I'm attempting to update each one that day and even premiere one of my newer fics I haven't put up yet. Why am I doing this then? Because… ^_^ It's my Birthday! Yay! I'm so happy!!!! Sorry… couldn't resist.
Okay… I know the whole Pyro walking into the bathroom was pretty pointless… but come on… it was bound to happen! Just happened soon rather then later. lol.
cool-chick-rae: Glad you liked the sleeping part. I thought that'd be cute.
*B Well I'm glad I came close. ^_^
keebler-elmo: Sorry you don't like that he's being black mailed, but I just can't see Piotr willing being a part of that… doesn't fit with the way I portray him I think. lol.
Aro: OOOOOO! COOKIES!
Danfred: AHHHHHH! Everyone poke Danfred!!!!!!
UnknownSource: I'm glad you like my Rogue/Remy Rogue/Piotr relationships. I had just so much fun writing the scene with Remy when Rogue's waking up. ^.^ As for Magneto letting her take his powers… my reasoning behind that is a bit hard to explain. Lol. Kind of a mix between him wanting to see how well she adapts to knew powers and his being so strong wanting to see how well she can adapt to it… and the other reasoning (I don't know if I mentioned it) but he needs to stay outside just in case anything went wrong… and by the time something would go wrong he'd probably back to full strength. If you know what I mean. lol.
O.o… you catch on quick. ^_-
I might use your little Sabertooth thin idea later on. *shrugs* Who knows. Lol.
ishandahalf: Yes… I thought people would enjoy Rogue falling asleep on Remy. I had a lot of fun writing those parts. ^_^ And of course… had to have my crack bunny. lol. ^_-
AthenaAlpha: You like Remy Pietro competition? I do to… but I think it's kind of late to add that. lol.
Rogue77: I could tell you that Remy's going to find out soon about being able to touch Rogue, but then I would be lying. . Sorry… aren't I torturous? YES the enter thing works! :P OH… and update Depressed Remy!!!!!!!!!!!
Athena: No Athena… Wanda is not around… yet.
Green Eyed Lilys Daughter: I know nothing about Piotr's sister. I kind of made her up and then found out she existed. lol. That was pretty cool. Glad you enjoyed the Piotr parts though. I like him. And I'll try to get around to reviewing your stuff. I've just been so dang busy and it's around 1 am that I am getting this done so I'm pretty tired. I'll try to get around to it though! Really I will! Please forgive me!
Carapheonix: I'm not ticklish! You're tickle monkey doesn't work on me! Ha ha ha! *evil grin*
Guidi: yeah… I knew that Opposites Attract was the sequel. I've been following. Those stories are great! And thanks for the offer with French translations! ^_^ Though I think I found a much better translator to use. *shrugs* I guess we'll see. lol. You're in French 5 though?! It's not fair! My school doesn't even offer French! That makes me SO mad cuz I've been DYING to learn it!!!!!
^Crysala^
