Remy lead Rogue through the French Quarter, crowded by many tourists and
locals looking for amusement. They passed the statue of General Jackson in
Jackson Square and continued walking in silence. Rogue noticed that he held
her gloved hand as they walked. It was like he didn't want to loose her.
Like she was a little childe who had to be taken care of and couldn't be
left alone because she was to incapable of taking care of herself. She
immediately pulled her hand out of his. She couldn't believe that she had
let the swamp rat touch her like that.
He turned his gaze back at her with a questioning look but she only responded with her infamous glare. It was like until that moment she had been in a trance, letting him stir her wherever he pleased. She felt like she had just woke up. Her legs started to feel all wobbly as she continued walking and all of a sudden the question crossed her mind. What was she doing here following a man that she had only met a day or two ago?
She abruptly stopped walking and looked down at her gloved palms. She noticed that she was now in a dark alley. Remy turned around and looked at her with worry in his eyes. Rogue only then noticed how his demonic eyes dimly glowed in the dark, giving him a certain dangerous look.
"What's de matter, belle." He asked with his thick Cajun accent echoing through the alley. She looked up at him with startled green eyes. He placed a hand on her shoulder but she immediately pushed him back.
"No...Get away from meh!" she screamed slowly backing away from him. All of a sudden she turned around and started running away...running like there was no tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remy watched her as she ran, slowly fading out of his view. He had half a mind to run after her but he decided against that. She needed some time to herself. He knew he had screwed up. Yet it was the only thing that he could have done to just make her relax a bit in her presence.
He never thought that if he used his empathic powers on her she would react like that. He had probable used his power way too intensely on her but for a little time she had actually been much more relaxed. She had let him touch her, take her hand, put his arm around her. For some this wouldn't have seemed like that big of a deal but for her it was a huge progress and Remy knew it.
He slowly started walking heading back to his house. The best thing he could do now was wait some time, wait for her to cool down and than he would have to start from the beginning. He didn't know what it was but he had taken such a big interest in this girl and now it was too late to let go.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rogue ran through the dark alley having no clue where she was going but just wanting to get as far away from him as possible. She didn't know what he had done to her or even if he had done anything. All of a sudden it was like she had just woken up from an extra long dream that would have kept on going forever. Whenever she was in the presence of Remy, her powers, her past, the future, everything went away and it was like time focused and nothing but the two of them mattered.
She forced herself to stop running. She was so out of breath that she could hardly breathe. She slowly sunk against a wall trying to catch her breath and just calm down. What had happened back there with Remy was just too weird for her. Maybe she was just tired or whatever. She really didn't know what to make of it and it was scarring her more and more as the seconds slowly went by.
Rogue got up slowly still tired from all the running and started walking in the direction in which she thought the main street would be. All of a sudden though, three strangers dressed in black, blocked her path.
"Look what we have here." Said the one that was in the middle. He slowly started advancing towards her and then he unexpectedly took out a knife, "Here's a piece of advice girly, never walk through a dark alley alone in this city, specially when you're this pretty."
"What...what do yah want?" she stammered taking a step backwards.
"Lets start by you standing flat against that wall over there." He said. Rogue was terrified but somewhere in the back of her head she knew that the minute they touched her they'd pass out. But all off a sudden she felt a burst of energy go through her body and concentrate on her palms. She looked down and saw that small sparks of electricity started forming at her fingertips. She slowly raised her arms and before the three thugs could say anything, bolts of electricity shot from Rogue's fingertips pushing them all through the thin wall behind.
The Goth wasted o time after that. She started running as hard as she could before they could catch up. At the moment she didn't have time to think about what just happened back there. A few moments later she had found herself running right back into the huge crowd of tourists. She was safe now.
Rogue started walking with the flow making her was back to her hotel. She knew that if she didn't figure out what was happening, she's go crazy soon.

Hey ya'll so sorry this chapter is SO short but I had a major case of writers block and what I did is just sat down and kina forced myself to write something. I know it's not great but I really tried. Ok now I think that plot is pretty much going in the direction in which I want it to go and I'll probable be able to post up another chapter this week since it's spring break, but remember I'm not making any promises.
Anywayz I hope this explains why Rogue let Remy touch her more than usual to all of you out there who were wondering why or just thinking this is going too fast. Ok if anyone has any questions or concerns about the fic please review and tell me because I'm more than happy to know and I also think about your questions and try to make things more clear (I know I'm not a very good writer but bear with me here) and try to fix whatever doesn't make sense.
Oh and I would also like to know what the whole deal with X-men evo is. Is it cancelled or not!!!
