Authors Note: Thanks for those who reviewed last chapter. For those who didn't, if you don't review this chapter I'll set Wolverine on you. I have tried to be as quick as possible with this update, but of course give me ideas, if you don't I might get writers block, and you wouldn't want that would you?!
Disclaimer: If anyone was offended last chapter for being puppets, I apologise. I tragically don't own Marvel, Disney or even a toothbrush. So please take pity and review.
Love will Find a Way
Rogue:
In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
She squatted down beside him, resisting the urge to throw her arms around him. She didn't know what to say; and apparently, neither did he.
"Remy..."
"Yes?"
"When you were young, before you were adopted by Jean-Luc, did you ever meet a girl called Anna-Marie?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Well I knew her too. She used to smile all the time, you'd never see her sad. Then she ran away...
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
..."She told me she met a boy, a boy with the most beautiful eyes. She was always looking for him. Then she found him again. She had seen no reminder of her past for years, it was strange enough that he turned up when he did, but the trouble was that she went and fell in love with him. He didn't recognise her; how could he? She had completely changed her identity: no longer was she Anna-Marie, daddy's girl; she was a rogue, and so that's what she became"...
I know
Love will find a way
Any where we go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
...She'd built up a wall around herself never letting anyone in. But he'd changed all that.
But right now, one man who'd ever managed to enter her fortress was staring at her with his mouth wide open she was tempted to slap him.
Meanwhile Remy had finally realised something. He hadn't needed to leave to leave to find that missing piece. It'd been right under his nose...
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
...But a moment later; the bitter truth hit him, it was hopeless, no matter how much he loved her or how much she loved him, they were worlds apart and nothing either of them did could change that.
Then, preparing to break her heart as well as his, he finally began to tell her the truth.
"Rogue; despite your past, you always see the best in people; I was never able to see the world that way. The truth is Rogue; you're an angel, and nothing I could ever do would be enough to deserve you."
He kept his eyes cast down, his empathy forcing him to realise just how angry he'd made her...
Remy:
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
..."Rembrandt Etienne Le Beau!" The piercing use of his full name caused him to stare at her in shock. "How can you think that? Do you really think I never hurt anyone? Every day I listen to dozens of people in my head, all blaming me for taking away a part of their life. And everyone keeps telling me 'it's not your fault, you can't help it', but it is! I'm anything but an angel! I steal lives, not save them! If you're looking for an angel, you're not going to find one here...
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
..."Rogue, I'm not a Prince; I'm an outcast! I'm a murderer and you are as innocent as it gets."
"Remy, I did kill someone, don't tell me you didn't wonder why I can suddenly fly!"
"Well..."
"There was a big fight. Magneto had a load of new acolytes. One of them was called Ms Marvel, she was invulnerable, exept to me obviously. Something went wrong, I couldn't pull away. And now she's dead. At least in her body, cos I'm stuck with her whole psyche in my head, yelling at me endlessly about how I killed her and ruined her life. So you see. I'm no better than you..."
Rogue and Remy:
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
...To say he was shocked would be an understatement. "When did this happen?"
"It was sometime between you leaving to marry Bella-Donna and when you came back to be an X-man."
"Oh."
"I'd mostly got Carol under control by then, so you probably wouldn't have noticed."
After that the silence remained unbroken. Not a word needed to be spoken. For that moment it didn't matter he felt unworthy or she felt scared; all they needed to know was they loved each other. And it was as simple as that...
They'd know
Love will find a way
Any where we go
we're home
If we are there together
...And as their lips grew dangerously closer, Rogue, for once, didn't care. Damn the consequences! Then , in a tidal wave of emotion, their lips crashed onto one another's. Rogue felt no pull from her mutation, so as he deepened the kiss, she made no move to stop him, but pulled him closer, clinging to him as if he was her last hope.
Eventually they broke away, sharing their soul with a glance. Fate decided they headed for home...
Like dark turning into day
Some how we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
...Logan was angry. Well angrier than usual. To be honest Kurt felt he'd probably have to act as Gambit's bodyguard the way things were going. Suddenly Logan caught a scent: "This way elf" ...
I know love will find a way
... "They were here. Both of them: Stripes and Gumbo. We came close, real close! I can follow the scent from here elf. Let's go dice up some Gumbo!
Authors note: Please review, I'm addicted! Anonymous reviews are allowed and appreciated. Thanks to all those who reviewed, and to those who didn't, I'm very disappointed in you and unfortunately Wolverine is too and is out for blood.
Look out for the next instalment!
