Rogue sat in the library nearly finished with Crown Duel. The doors opened and Rogue looked up expecting to see Piotr, instead, to her surprise, she saw Remy. He smiled at her and headed toward the computers. Rogue put her book down and watched him. He turned one on then put a disk in… a disk she remembered.
She got up and walked over to him and looked at the screen. "That's the disk y'made at the base." She pointed out.
"Oui, it is." He agreed, nodding as he began to pull up files.
"What is it?" Rogue asked.
"Jus' a copy o' de disk we gave ole' bucket head." Remy replied as he surfed through the files. An image came up. "Hmmm… what's dis?" He asked, enlarging the picture.
"What is thaht?" Rogue asked, cocking her head slightly.
"Looks like de blue prints o' a robot." Remy replied. He then clicked on something else and his eyes began to scan the screen as he read what was on it. "Looks like de blue prints o' a mutant hunting robot!" Remy explained in a bit of surprise.
"Mutant hunting?! Who made this? Ah mean, someone must know mutants exist then…" Rogue pointed out.
Remy nodded. "Dun look like de government. Or at least… not somet'ing the government aut'orized." Remy replied.
"What do ya think Mag's gunna do with this info?" Rogue asked.
Remy shrugged. "Probably some huge rule de world ploy." Remy said sarcastically. Rogue pushed him playfully before heading toward the door. "Where ya goin'?" Remy asked her.
"T'tell de ot'ers." Rogue replied. Remy quickly closed the window, pulled out the disk, and followed her. She went to the gym where Piotr was doing pull ups. "Where's Johnny?" Rogue asked.
"Kitchen." Piotr replied, continuing to do his pull ups. Remy turned then and left to go get the pyromaniac.
"Why'd you ask?" Piotr questioned, dropping to the floor and grabbed his shirt and put it on, then grabbed a towel and draped it over his neck.
Rogue smirked. She may not see him as a boyfriend or anything but she could still tell that he was good looking. He needed to find himself a date sometime, someone to loosen him up a bit…
"What's up maties?" Pyro asked, walking into the room with a chip filled sandwich in one hand and Remy came in behind him.
"Goin' pirate aye?" Rogue joked. John just shrugged and took a bight from his sandwich. Remy shook his head in amusement.
"So, you bring us together to tell us something?" Piotr asked.
"Oui. Remy kept a disk o' dat info from dat base. Seems dose people wan' ta kill mutants. Dey be makin' a mutant killin' machine dey callin' sentinals." Remy explained.
Piotr and John didn't respond at first, just looked at Remy as if he was suppose to go on.
"Well, that's not good." Pyro finally said.
"What does Magneto plan on doing about it? I'm sure he's not going to like that." Piotr pointed out.
Rogue shrugged. "He doesn' even know we know. Ah nevah told him 'bout the disk Remy stole an' Ah dobut he did." Rogue replied, jerking her thumb in Remy's direction.
"Way to go mate!" Pyro said, hitting Remy's back as if to congratulate him. "Now we actually have some clue as to what's going on around here.
"Not really." Remy said. "Now we know what's goin' on out dere, but in here it's a mystery." Remy finished.
"Good point." Piotr said. He then sighed. "I'm going to go take a shower." Piotr informed them before walking out. John, Remy, and Rogue followed him out.
When they came out Sabertooth and Magneto were surprisingly there, both suited up and ready to leave on probably some mission.
"Where you guys goin'?" John asked.
"We've got a mission. It's good to see you all in the gym. You're going to need to be in shape for our mission's soon to come." Magneto replied. The four acolytes exchanged glances. Sabertooth probably already knew what Magneto was talking about though.
"So you two are leaving? How long you going to be gone?" John asked. Somehow he mangaged to stay the same old crazy, carefree guy around those two dangerous men.
"Not long." Magneto said. He then looked at Rogue and his expression hardened. "None of you are to go beyond the limited areas in this house! Nor are you to send anyone out of them." He continued, mostly to Rogue. She nodded and Remy and Pyro glanced at her questioningly. She didn't look at them though or give an explanation.
Magneto glanced at each then walked out.
"What was dat about p'tite?" Remy asked.
"Nothin'." She said simply, but glanced at Piotr. She had told him about that night. He sent her an assuring glance then left to take his shower. Rogue went to the kitchen to make herself some food. It was a Sunday and she had school the next day. She groaned at the thought.
"What's wrong p'tite?" Remy asked, coming into the kitchen.
"Just dreadin' school t'marrow." She replied, sitting down on a kitchen stool with the salad she'd made. She had been too lazy to make anything else.
"Ahhh, but aren't y'happy t'go see y'date? Y'know, Duncan." Remy questioned teasingly.
Rogue rolled her eyes. "He's who Ah want t'get away from."
"Really? Den why'd y'go t'de dance wit' him?" Remy questioned.
Rogue shrugged. Remy moved around behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Tryin' t'make a point?" Remy questioned, but not teasingly.
Rogue wasn't in the mood to fight him and was quite comfortable, so she didn't make a move to fight him. She just took a bight of her salad then said, "Maybe, maybe not."
Remy, pleased that she hadn't attacked him, laid his head on her shoulder. "Awww, come on chere, y'can tell Remy."
"Jus' leave it, and Ah'd appreciate it if y'let meh go." Rogue replied.
Pyro walked in as he put the rest of his sandwich into his mouth. He looked at the two and grinned. "You two finally a couple?" He asked amused with his mouth full of food.
"No!" Rogue growled. "An' if he doesn't let go o' me Ah'm gonna hurt him!" She growled.
"You should probably let go of the Sheila mate, she doesn't seem to like that." Pyro said, taking a seat.
"She does, she jus' ain't gun admit it." Remy replied, more to her though.
Frustrated, she stood up as much and as quickly as she could and knocked the stool backward. It hit Remy hard on the hip and he unraveled his arms from around her waist and Pyro just laughed. Rogue picked up her salad and left for the living room.
Remy and Pyro watched her leave then followed her with nothing better to do and they sat down to watch TV.
A couple minutes later Piotr came in and sat down next to Remy and laid his attention also on the TV.
Remy sniffed and noticed something. He had to stifle a laugh. "Didn' know it was in t'wear such sweet scented perfume." He teased.
Piotr just looked at him and narrowed his eyes. "I didn't mean to."
Pyro suddenly began to laugh as he caught on. "You! You accidentally used Rogue's shampoo didn't you?!"
Piotr scowled and even Rogue found it difficult to hold in the laugh. "You know Piotr, if ya'd have jus' told me, Ah'd have bought extra so y'didn't have ta use mihne." Rogue teased.
Piotr stood up. He wasn't angry, but rather more embarrassed.
"Where you going? To use some scented body lotion as well?" John asked as he tried to stop laughing. Piotr smirked and headed to the door where he paused and turned back.
"You'll see soon enough." He said to John before leaving. When he returned he held a bottle of Rogue's perfume, a rather strong perfume at that. "Join the club John." Piotr said, dashing over to John and holding the bottle out threateningly. John squeaked and leapt from his seat.
Rogue and Remy just laughed, mainly at John's expression of utter horror. "Either o' you two break that an ya' gunna buy meh a new one!" Rogue threatened. The two teens paid no heed as John streaked out of the living room, Piotr close behind.
"Nice t'see Piotr bein' humorous." Remy commented.
"Yeah." Rogue agreed with a sigh. Remy looked at her and their eyes locked. Rogue caught her breathe as those demon-like eyes seemed to bore into her. She then remembered that kiss… or two kisses. They had been truly amazing. Was that was it was to touch then? At the moment she wanted to touch him more then anything, but she didn't, she hardly even moved. As a matter of fact neither moved for a while, just remained like that until John came running back into the living room and Remy broke away to watch as Piotr came in and pinned John against the wall with one hand.
"Oh come on man! You can't do it!" John begged. Piotr ignored him though and began spraying him down with the perfume.
Pyro began to cough and he scrunched up his nose. He shook his head several times as if it would make the perfume come off but of course it didn't. Piotr just walked away, a triumphant smile on his face.
"Awful! Just awful! Aww man! I can taste it! Yuck! Gross!" He complained. "How do you guys survive this stuff?" He asked Rogue.
"We don't put that much on." She said with a laugh.
John shook his head again and hurried out to the kitchen where he got some water, gurgled it, then spit it out in an attempt to get the taste out of his mouth. He returned to the living room unsuccessful.
He plopped down in a chair miserably. He then looked at Remy. "Seems like you're the only one who hasn't had a problem with a girl using the bathroom yet." He pointed out.
Rogue glared at Remy. "Don't even think about it!"
Remy just smirked.

UnKnown Source, I know, I know, Piotr didn't smack Remy in this one. I guess I might be able to have him do it sometime. Depends on what mood I'm in when I'm writing. lol.
Yumiko, Me too! But I'm not excited about the kid. I don't want her to have one. Lol. Shh.. no one else ad that! I'm not giving Anythin away *shifty glance*
LuLuDucky, Main character is a Countess, but this countess and her brother, the count, rebel against the king who has a huge army and they have basically no army. Eventually the countess, Melaria(sp?) gets captured by the enemy, gets taken to the capital city, gets rescued or rather set free illegally. She then becomes a fugitive heroine. It's really good! better then it sounds.
RavenHawk, No I have no intention of hooking Rogue up with Piotr. Lol. Thought that would be an interesting couple… not for this story. Too brother/sister like.
Annyway, sorry it took me so long to update. Bus busy busy is me. lol Hope you enjoyed it.
