Rogue found herself walking beside the cajun down a park. It was dark, but not too dark, and mostly empty.

"Ya're doin' good so far cajun." Rogue commented as she glanced up at the almost full moon.

"'Course Remy is, he actually care 'bout dis one." Remy replied, looking down at her with a sincere look.

Rogue rolled her eyes. "So how many women have ya taken here?"

"Haven't. Dere been ot'er parks, but not dis one. Remy brought yo here cause he's taken no ot'ers."

Rogue looked at him, not knowing what to think of that.

As they came to a bench Remy took one of Rogue's gloved hands and sat, pulling her gently with him. She sighed but allowed him to.

"Are y'happy, wit Magneto?" Remy asked.

Rogue was slightly surprised by this question. "Ah think so. Ah mean, Ah never really thought about it. Why?"

Remy shrugged. "Jus' wonderin'"

"You?"

"Is Remy happy? 'Course he is, he'd leave if he wasn'."

"How'd ya know mah name?" Rogue asked suddenly. She had wondered a lot about that ever since he had called her by it.

"Dat? Figured dat one out de way t'eifs do. Mags keeps files on all his employees. Yo hadn't come yet but he had y'on file. Marie Darkholm, aka: Rogue."

"He keeps files..." She said blankly, remembering the ones he had given her on the Brotherhood. She then looked at him again. "Ah doubt Magneto keeps those things in that areas were aloud ta go."

Remy smirked. "Remy be a t'eif cherie. Y'don't t'ink he stays only in de designated area do yo?"

Rogue shook her head amused. "Course not."

Remy smiled and put a hand on her far shoulder. He pulled her toward him, and after a moment of hesistation, Rogue put her head on his shoulder.

"See, dat's not dat bad is it?

"Don't get cocky swamprat."
.
.

"We shouldn't be doing this 'Mara." Kitty whispered to the young girl.

"Oh lighten up!" Amara said exasperated.

"This is it." John announced as they came upon the place. "Pool, arcade, air hockey, and dancing."

"Beat you at air hockey!" Amara challenged.

"No way! I'm the champion!"

"He's telling the truth on that one." Piotr said with a laugh.

"We'll see." Amara replied as she entered the building.

Kitty sighed for probably the twentith time before following her stubborn friend inside.
.
.

"Cherie?"

"Hmm?"

"Yo awake dere?" Remy asked, looking down at the head on his shoulder.

"Nope, Ah'm sound asleep." Rogue replied, rolling her eyes and lifting her head.

"Y'tired?" Remy asked.

"No, not really."

"Wanna go t'one o' Remy's favorite places?" Remy asked.

"No, not yet." Rogue replied. Wherever it was a lot of peple were probably going to be there.

Remy ran a thumb over her knuckles. "Want t'jus' sit here den?"

Rogue shrugged. Sitting there like that just felt right, but at the same time all-wrong. This wasn't real, Remy was just messing with her like all the rest. "Remy... how'm Ah suppose ta know Ah'm not another game of ya'res? Tha untouchable, tha perfect challenge... ya know."

Remy sighed. "Remy knows. An' he admits dat y'were at first. But, de harder I tried de more y'fought. Y'were so confident dat I couldn't have an interest in yo, like it won' even dat I..." He shook his head. "Remy guess it started as pity, but not anymore. Dat not what y'need. Remy been tryin' t'give to yo what y'need but y'haven' been lettin' me. Not dat Remy blames ya. Piotr dough, he been good fo y', an you fo' him.' Remy explained.

Rogue just sat there for a second. He sounded sincere, and she wanted to believe him...
.
.

Kitty and Piotr sat at a table as Amara and John played a heated game of air hokey. John had four points and Amara two.

Nope, John had just scored another point and was grinning like a maniac.

"You suck!" Amara exclaimed frustrated.

Kitty shook her head. "Five bucks says you're friend will win." She said to Piotr.

Piotr shook his head. "No bet, John'll win no doubt. He's only got to get three points." He pointed out.

"Alright, new deal. Amara will get like, only one more point before he wins." Kitty amended.

"Alright. I think she'll get more." Piotr said.

"You guys betting on us?!" John demanded as Amara pulled out the puck.

Kitty nodded, a slight smirk on her face. These guys didn't seem that bad.

"So, like, pardon my asking but, what are you guys doing with Magneto?" Kitty asked Piotr. "I mean, do you really believe that..." She shook her head.

Piotr shrugged. "I do what I have to."

"What-?"

"Yahoo!

"You suck so bad!" Amara growled.

"I know, it's great." John teased.

Amara pulled out the puck, put it on the table, and hit it as hard as she could.

Kitty again shook her head. "I like, think 'Mara's taking it too seriously."

"You should see John when it looks like he's loosing." Piotr commented.

"Sounds scary."

"It is." He looked at her and their eyes met.

"Ha! HA!"

"Cheep shot!"

"No way!" Amara's voice. Piotr looked away from Kitty to see the two. "That was fair!"

Kitty laughed. "One more and you'll win," She reminded Piotr.

Piotr nodded, still watching the game that had resumed. Kitty sighed. He wasn't easy to make conversation with but... he was really cute!

She shook her head. Bad thoughts.

"Ha! Another point for me!" Amara exclaimed.

"Now that was just luck!"

"Yeah uh huh." Amara rolled her eyes.

Kitty groaned. "Guess I like, owe you five bucks huh."

Piotr shook his head. "I don't want your money. I was just joking."

Kitty shook her head and phased her hand through her purse and pulled out her wallet; everyone was too busy to notice; and pulled out five bucks. "Don't be silly. We like, made the bet." She handed him the bill.

Piotr shook his head and didn't reach for it. "I don't want it. I don't need it."

Kitty sighed and put it back into her wallet.

"YES!" John exclaimed, throwing his arms into the air. "I win!"

"Rematch! I call rematch!"

"You're on!"

Kitty sighed again. "You like to dance?"

Piotr looked at the crowd of dancing teens then looked back to Kitty. He shook his head. "No. Not like that at least."

Kitty looked to John and Amara. Both of them were consumed in their new game. She wanted to dance but for some reason she'd feel guilty leaving Piotr there alone.

"Go ahead." Piotr said as if reading her thoughts.

"But-"

"I'll be fine. It's like watching television." He said, waving vaguely toward Amara and John.

Kitty nodded and made her way over to the dance floor.

Once again Rogue was walking beside Remy. They were headed to some club/bar. It felt weird though...the whole thing. She glanced at him. He seemed to feel her gaze and returned the look. "What?" He questioned.

"Nothin'."

Remy shook his head. "Dun know how y'did it."

"Did what?"

"Survived down shout'. Wearin' all dose layers when it be so hot" Remy replied.

Rogue gave him an odd look. She then looked down at her gloved hands. "Ya, it gets hard sometihmes." She took one off. "Ah guess ya just get used ta it. Ah mean, it feels weird when it's not in a glove now." She made to put her glove back on but Remy took hold of her covered wrist.

"Dun put it back on yet. De streets not busy."

"But if Ah were to bump inta anybody then-"

"Den dey'd feel weak. No big deal cherie." Remy replied, taking the glove then letting go of her hand.

Rogue sighed then shook her head. "Ah'd rather just-"

"Out of my way dudes!" Someone called out. Rogue turned to look and saw a skateboarder heading toward her and Remy. Remy grabbed her arm and pulled her away. The skater went by then but his wrist met Rogue's bare hand that she had thrown out in an attempt to balance herself. She gasped, the boarder gasped, then he fell off his board.

Rogue stumbled back and ripped the glove from Remy before hurrying into an ally that was near by.

"Rogue, Rogue come back. He's gunna be fine." Remy said, hurrying after her. When he came to her she had one hand on the wall of one building and held her face in her other. She was turned away from him. "Rogue." He turned her to look at him to her back was to the wall. "What's wrong? De homme gun be fihne."

"Ah'm tired of these images! Ah'm tired of being people Ah'm not! Ah'm all tha people in mah head! Ah've taken at least one tiny trait from each of tha people Ah've touched weather it be a memory Ah so often think is mah own and can hardly determine weather it be someone else's or mihne or it bein' a part of mah personality."

Remy took her hands. They were both gloved now. "All dose t'ings, all dose traits y'get from dat persons experiences. Dey say dat wisdom comes from experience and cherie, wit' each touch y'gain mo' wisdom. Y'might not be really takin' on pieces o'dose people, but rat'er adaptin' t'what yo've now experienced."

"But Ah haven't experienced dem Remy! Dose people have! Ah see what they've seen, Ah steal dat from dem, not experience it mahself, as Rogue... whoever she is... One moment of havin' mah hand free of that thing around mah hand an' look what happens. No surprise there." She finished scornfully.

"Cherie, yo're not stealin' from dem. Dey keep everyt'ing dey got-"

"'Cept thay're consciousness."

"yo just get it too."

"Ya know, tha people from the record company's would still fihnd that as stealin'." Rogue pointed out.

Remy laughed. "Dey never lived wit'out touch." He replied, caressing her cheek with his gloved hand. Rogue let out a shuddered sigh before lightly closing her eyes. "An' it also not be fair dat one should not be touched." She then felt lips on her own.

Rogue's eyes widened and she made to step back but her heel hit the wall behind her. She considered pushing him away then but she didn't. Instead she closed her eyes and kissed him back.

After a couple of seconds Remy pulled away, his eyes slightly wide. "Dat night... dat wasn't a dream... was it?"
.
.

Kitty found herself dancing alone. It wasn't as fun dancing alone but she was still having fun. The music had a good beat there was just enough space for her to move. It was pretty crowded though.

Suddenly she felt someone dancing with her, but it wasn't the kind of dancing she liked. She turned to look at the guy. "Hey, like, could you give me a little space?" Kitty asked politely.

"What are you talking about? You've got plenty of space." The guy replied, not moving away.

Kitty stepped back. "No, I don't, now please move away."

"Awww, don't you like dancing with people."

"Yeah, but like, not this close!" She replied, getting a little more aggressive.

"All right all right." The guy replied, moving away.

"Thanks." Kitty shook her head then began dancing again. It wasn't long though before she felt an arm around her waist. "Want to go have a drink with me?" The guy was back.

"Like, what's you're problem? Just go away!" Kitty growled, pulling away.

"What's You're problem lady? I'm just trying to be nice!" He said, taking her wrist as she pulled away.

"You're totally not being nice, you're being pushy!"

"Right, and how am I being pushy?"

"Is there a problem here sir?"

Kitty looked to the side to see Piotr. He was looking at the guy with a go-away-or-you-have-me-to-deal-with look.
