I'm writing at least one chapter everyday, so expect them to come with short intervals. I'm working on chapter 8 at this moment, and as always ideas or wishes are always wanted and welcome. Constructive crtisism is also something I wish for, so please, leave a review. And I know this is a short chapter, but I try to keep my chapters around the same lenght, but sometimes it doesn't really work out. And thanks to Chasesgirl2, I know that at least one person is reading my story!

Read&Review!

Chapter 3: Where to?

-"So Amelia, I guess you'll be riding with me then. Unless you had a different plan of traveling?" Rogue said after about ten minutes of pointless talk.

-"Umm, I guess. If it's okay with you," I rushed out the last part, I didn't want her to feel committed to do anything for me.

-"Of course it's okay, I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't an offer", she answered and smiled at me.

Somehow, she made me feel safer and more comfortable then I had in the past week. The fact that I didn't have to hide anything from her, made me feel secure. It was a good feeling.

After the crowd had been scared out of the cart twenty minutes earlier, they hadn't returned. 'The lion-man, Sabretooth, must've scared them good,' I thought, and laughed inwardly at the sight of the huge man, still twitching slightly in his fingers, on the floor. 'I did that', I said triumphantly to the invisible crowd inside my head.

When I'd knocked Sabretooth out, I sent what was left of the energy, or electricity, I had borrowed to it's respective owners. It wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened. But I was glad it did, having that many bolts of electricity inside, sure made you energetic. I felt like jumping around and running ten kilometers.

15 minutes later, Rogue told me that we were getting off at the next stop, and then drive the rest of the way to the school.

When the sub made a sound stop, I stood up and put my shoulder bag back on. Rogue grabbed her black leather purse, and we stepped out on the platform. Rogue took up her phone from her bag, and called someone. From what I heard her say, someone was coming to pick us up.

-"Great Rems, I'll see you in a few minutes," she said before she hung up with a smile.

-"I called someone to pick us up. Luckily he was already in the neighborhood, he'd heard about our little…confrontation, with Sabretooth, so he came out here to check it out," she continued as we took the escalators up to ground level.

I nodded, before asking her a seemingly stupid question.

-"Rogue, what is your power?" I looked at the older woman, hoping I hadn't been out of line with my question.

-"Well, if my skin touches other people's skin, I absorb their energy-their life force, and their memories. And if I have contact for more then a second, I can kill them," Rogue answered, that somewhat sad expression from earlier reappearing.

-"But you touched me for at least five seconds earlier, and I didn't even lose my conscience!" I said, frowning.

-"We'll ask the professor about that later," she answered, a smile replacing her previous sad face as a car pulled over to the street and honked.

She walked over to it and motioned for me to get into the backseat. I did, and she sat down in the front seat and closed the door.

-"Where to, Cherie?" the man in the drivers seat asked Rogue in a Cajun accent. She just laughed, and he started driving.

-"And who might this be, Roguey? I think you forgot to introduce Remy to this young lady in the back seat," the driver proclaimed as we drove out of New York's crowded streets.

-"Ah yes, Remy this is Amelia, Amelia this is Remy. Or Gambit, he mainly goes by that," Rogue said.

-"Um, nice to meet you Gambit", I said, and waved my hand once in the back mirror as a greeting.

-"Gambit thinks it's nice to meet you too, Amelia", he replied and smiled back at me.
