My Reviewers

X-Storm - Thanks for the review. Well, I wanted a Russian name because it would fit with the story of Piotr being Russian and all, so I was trying to think of Russian names and I went on a baby name website and found Dimitri. That was when I realized that Anastasia was set in Russia and that is so my favourite Disney film. Have you heard that song at the end? It's called "At the Beginning" and it relates so much to Rogue and Remy. And Huskies are my favourite dog. I have one lol. He's called Bobby and we call him "Bobby blue eyes" because of his eyes!

Lee - Thanks for the review. Next chappie for ya!

seastar1234 - Thanks for the review.

Remy'sRose - Thanks for the review. Huskies are my favourite dog too, but it has to be the ones with blue eyes. I have one lol. He's called Bobby and we call him "Bobby blue eyes" because of his eyes! Awww! And I loved writing the Romy smut lol!

AnimeObsessedFreak – Thanks for the review and the praise. Enjoy this chapter. You should, it's a good one!

gambit-rogue - There's the next chapter for you! Sorry about the Jott bashing and there isn't really any in this chapter either. But this ones a cliffhanger lol!

Sarina Blade – Thanks for the review and to be quite honest, I wouldn't want to have sex in front of my dog and it's the same breed and everything. I know its weird but it would feel really strange knowing that he is probably watching you!

InTHEgrid - Where are you??????

A Hero's Return

Red sunshine blasted through the glass pane, falling onto the sleeping mans face, making him scrunch his eyes. Rogue stirred beside him and he stilled, not wanting to wake her. The red sky outside illuminated her face of southern beauty. Her white band fell around her face, her auburn hair glowing gently. He was too busy admiring her that he didn't notice two emeralds looking right at him.

He started when she propped herself up on one elbow, touching his chest. She swirled imaginary circles across his stomach, moving up to his shoulders, finally resting her hands on his face. She flashed her gorgeous smile at him and pushed herself closer to him, pressing her stomach against his.

"Mornin" she purred.

"Mornin" he sassed back, a winning smirk playing his features.

They stayed quiet for a while, just looking into each others eyes, the windows of their souls.

"Moi, John and Piotr have to go back to the base to get our stuff, considering we're Xmen now," he added, grinning at her.

"Ok, but make it quick. We have to revamp your uniforms," she giggled.

He growled playfully at her and rolled out of bed, pulling on a new pair on boxers and jeans under her roaming eyes. He pulled on a black t shirt and then turned to look at her.

"Dis ain't some kind of peep show, Chere," he laughed.

A pillow collided hard with his chest and Rogue shuffled over, trying to rid her mind of those amazing images that would put X- rated to shame. He shuffled back onto the bed, fully dressed and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Back in a flash, gorgeous," he whispered, causing her to giggle and turn over, engaging him a passionate kiss. They pulled away, breathing heavily and he rolled off the bed, heading for the door. He pulled it open, only to find a very annoyed Wolverine, dragging Neige by the collar.

"Do ya realize that this dog is a pain in the behind?" he growled.

"Why? What's he done now?"

Logan let go of the dog, who bounded through the open door and jumping on the bed, into Rogues arms. The wolf like man threw his hands in the air.

"Well first, he comes bouncing into my room at 11 at night and jumps on my bed. Admittedly, he kept my feet warm, but then he keeps tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable. Then, it gets even better! He jumps on me at 5 this morning and licks my face, then pines at the door for a toilet break,"

Remy was laughing hysterically, doubled over, holding his stomach.

"Bon chien," he said to Neige, who pricked up his ears and doggy grinned.

Thankfully, Wolverine just growled and stormed down the corridor. Remy let out a breath of air that he didn't even realize he had been holding. He turned to Rogue and the dog.

"Well, im going," he stated. He looked at the dog. "Wanna come?"

The dog wagged his tail and leapt off the bed, following Remy through the open door.

John pushed open the Base door wearily, as if doing a scene off Mission Impossible. Remy shook his head in disbelief.

"What's up, mon ami, scared of the dark? Or are there still monsters in y closet?"

John shot him a glare and then pushed open the door rambunctiously. Piotr and John raced up to their rooms, not wanting to be in the base any longer than 10 minutes tops. Remy, however, felt that the base had a sentimental value and lingered longer than usual in the downstairs rooms. He walked through to the kitchen, switching on the radio as a matter of habit. Dolly Partons voice warbled through the crackling.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes

Of emerald green

Now who did that remind him of. Remy chuckled. He couldn't get her out of his head

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you,

Jolene

He left Dolly to continue her crescendo as he left the kitchen and ascended the stairs, two steps at a time. He turned to the second room on the left, his room.

Rogue couldn't fall back to sleep without him beside her. She was cold without his warm (and not to mention sexy!) body next to her. She got out of bed, pulling on a pair on his boxers and a loose t-shirt. She couldn't be bothered to put on anything else. Walking over to the window, she looked out at the three men leaving the Institute. Piotr and John were in their standard Ford Escort whilst Remy drove alongside on his bike. The dog sat comically in the sidecar, tongue lolling.

Kitty poked her head around the door and grinned at the young woman at the window. Rogue smiled back, signaling an invitation for her to come in. Kitty bounced over, eyeing Rogue attire.

"Are they Remy's?" she asked, looking directly at the dark boxers.

Rogue smirked, a smirk that Remy would be proud of.

Kitty shook her head, "Does he mind you wearing his underwear?"

"Well, he doesn't exactly know but Ahm sure he won't complain,"

"Guess what?" Kitty was buzzing.

"Ah despise guessing games," Rogue snarled, putting on her best Scar voice.

"Me and Piotr made love last night," she whispered, "For the first time,"

That got Rogue attention. Kitty and the Russian hunk had never actually done it before because, of course, she was pregnant.

"Do carry on," Rogue was intrigued and jumped on the bed like a little girl.

"Oh God, where do I start?" said Kitty, following Rogues example and diving onto the bed.

"At the beginning," Rogue replied.

"He was so gentle. I was still sore, like, from the baby. It was just amazing," Kitty practically swooned on the bed.

"Awww well done, Sugah!" Rogue squealed, hugging her best friend.

X

His room was just how he left it.

A mess.

Posters of bikes and cars draped the walls, and a few women. Yeah, he'd better not take them. He grabbed a travel bag, throwing in bits and bobs, clothes, random items and toiletries. He could hardly lift it by the time he had finished.

A shock of empathy nearly bowled him over. Betrayal, sadness, anger but also a sense of fulfillment all at the same time.

Weird.

X

"…and then he pushed it in really slowly," Kitty nearly orgasmed at the recollection, "It was so beautiful,"

Rogue just sat there laughing.

Remy descended the stairs slowly, opening his shields, trying to figure out who had those weird feelings. Unless it was John. That guy had a strange mind.

He reached the bottom to find Neige growling, hackles raised, teeth beard and he was looking back up the stairs.

X

"Sounds like ya had fun," Rogue stated.

"Sound like you did too. All we could hear last night was you two shouting each others names," Kitty giggled.

Rogue mumbled a "shut up" as she blushed and tried to change the subject, "Where's Dimitri?"

"With Storm," Kitty said, "She was really excited about babysitting duty,"

X

Remy stared up the stairs, watching the dark figure take each step. He thought it was Piotr or John messing with his head but then he realized that they were stood behind him. It couldn't be who he thought it was. But the closer the figure got, the more Remy started to doubt his feelings.

The man stopped on the third step from the bottom, eyeing the men with piercing blue eyes. His white hair fell about his shoulders.

"I'm back, my Acolytes," Magneto said.
