recap
"I'm here to help you" -no response
"I'm going to take off that thing from your hands 'k?-again no response
He touched the tip of his fingers to the lock on her shackles and with a "pop" sound they dropped to the floor.
"Chere, please tell me you're alright"
He moved her hair from her face and her eyes opened and he stayed paralyzed.
In his entire life as a professional thief Remy has never seen more beautiful emeralds than the ones staring back at him right this moment.
Catching his breath again he asked "Chere, my name is gambit, I'm here to help you. Do you remember your name?" he froze waiting for her response. She closed her eyes and he almost gave up hope of her answering but her eyes opened and if a pin dropped he wouldn't have heard her raspy one word whisper.
"...Rogue" she closed her eyes again and he wasn't sure if he imagined her talk or if she actually did.
Her eyelids drifted shut once again, and all I could think was: "did that really just happened?" and "what the hell is that beeping noise?" But soon enough my mind cleared up.
"Merde. Come on fille, time to go." Was all I said before carrying her in a fireman's hold, not that she will hear me?
This was probably not the most comfortable position for her, but definitely the most effective to do something very important.
"Storm" I waited for her response trough that stupid X-men badge.
"I hear you gambit"
"Get everybody on the Blackbird. This place is going to go boom" silence followed not that I expected an answer; she was probably electrocuting some guards at the moment. And talking about guards. I can see two guys around the corner.
I won't be able to get rid of them with the fille hanging on my shoulder, and I can't just throw one of my cards, it would draw more attention.
Damn!
I slowly get her off my shoulder, and as I support her back against the wall I can't help but to move her hair from her face. She still is sleeping. Damn it all again! Lebeau you getting soft!
I need to get to those guards; we are running out of time. I'm probably 3 steps behind them now, but I'm skilled because they don't know that. I hear footsteps coming from the corridor to the left and so do the guards. Three sharp blades materialized on one of the guards back and I immediately knock out the other one.
"I didn't needed your help, in case you were wondering monsieur Claws" I nonchalantly say to the Wolverine
"Not that I would offer it, but we seem to have a time limit and storm will kill me if I don't make sure that your Cajun ass get on that plane" he said to me with a sour look on his face, but hey, when does the Wolverine doesn't have a sour look on his face.
"What can I say, the ladies love Gambit homme" nothing but the truth.
"Yeah, yeah" he started saying "how much time do we..." I recognized that look!
His nostrils started to flare and he started to sniff. In a move so fast that I was wondering how that heavy adamantium in his bones allowed it, he grabbed me by my duster and slammed my back against the wall. I really wasn't expecting that.
"Where did you get that smell?" he screamed in my face
"Listen homme, we've been fighting and running for quite some time, I'll shower when I get to the mansion, non?" I said raising my hands in a surrender motion. I don't know if it was my heavy sarcasm or the smirk in my face that told him I was not taking him seriously, but something did it because he started growling and screaming some more. "Listen, we only have around eight minutes to get out of here, and I found a prisoner that needs some medical attention. Now sil vous plait, would you let go so Remy can take the fille out of here?" I shook his hands of my trenchcoat.
"A Girl? Where is she? Tell me Cajun or I swear I will tear you a new one" by this point he's claws where on my face.
"She is seating right around that corner" I said pointing to the right wall. Just to make it clear, I was NOT afraid of monsieur Claws but I was not stupid and I knew he was serious.
I walked a couple seconds after him, but when I turned that corner I couldn't believe my eyes. Wolverine was kneeling on the floor at her level, holding the girl's face in between his two hands and this is the part I couldn't believe, the guy had actual tears in his eyes. Yes, The Wolverine had tears in his eyes.
"Open your eyes Marie" wait, wasn't her name rogue? "Look at me. You have to open your eyes"
She did, she opened her eyes and she did something else, she smiled a tiny, one sided, honest, beautiful, and warm smile. I heard the wolverine let out a breath.
Unconsciously I started to come closer when I saw her lips moving. She was trying to say something.
"...I knew...you would...come...for... me, Logan" That apparently did it for him. He carried her and didn't even glance at me and just walked as fast as he could to the exit.
Who is this girl? And how does she know Logan, on first name basis?
yeah i know is short but please review!
