It accord to Remy the next morning as he entered the cafeteria that he was the only one that knew of Rogue's possible broken ankle and she wasn't going to do anything to change that. She was in the room, sitting by herself at one of the many round tables that filled the large room though she was closest to the windows.
Remy had decided mentally that he was going to go over and sit with her as he grabbed his breakfast tray but before he could even step away from the line up someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
Remy turned around slowly and saw before him a woman that looked to me around his age, a bit shorter then himself but with long red hair and bright dancing blue eyes. "I'm sorry to bug you Mr. Lebeau but---"
Remy smiled sweetly down at her causing her face to grow redder matching her hair close to exact "there be no worries chere Remy don' mind being bugged by such a belle femme" The last words seemed to dance around the air and then hang there causing a somewhat awkward silence to fallow.
This however didn't last long for the gruff man from yesterday walked up behind the red head and said loudly "Hey Jean?" the women 'Jean' shook her head and then gave Remy a puzzling look
"I-I can't enter your mind?" she announced to the few that happened to be listening in to there conversation including the Rogue at the other end of the cafeteria as Remy realized
Remy looking back at her though not as puzzling said sweetly "Dat cause ya didn't ask mon" And without the women 'Jean' or the gruff man Logan had time to tell him otherwise he started his way across the cafeteria to where Rogue was sitting down, her head to her spoon, milking flakes falling off as Remy sat himself down across from her at the table.
"And ya want what exactly?" Rogue asked with such a heavy annoyance her voice that Remy had no need to use his empathy to know that it was there.
"What Remy can't enjoy a nice lunch wit a nice femme?" She looked up at him now a sly smirk coming over her makeup less face
"Ya may be able ta enjoy one but ah can't" and with that said Rogue stood from the table but not before Remy could say
"How's yer ankle chere?"
Rogue stopped mid step and mumbled out "Fahne" before walking slowly away. It not smart fer da Rogue ta be hurt like dis why don she tell? But the answer never came to him even through out the whole day of pondering on it. Remy just couldn't understand why Rogue wouldn't tell anyone about her pain, not ask for help.
"Chere?" Remy asked Rogue as he walked up next to her in the hallway walking towards his bedroom for the night.
She glanced over at him as she walked slowly and painfully as Remy sensed.
"Remy be wondering why ya don ask fer help?"
Rogue smiled up at him slightly "Cause ah don' need it Cajun"
He laughed somewhat at this and watched as Rogue passed the bedroom that she had gone into the night before "Ma chere wasn't that yer room or is yer brain hurtin' ya too?"
She scowled as she placed her gloved hand to the wall and leaned on it somewhat for support "Yeah it was dumb ass but ah aint going ta ma room got that" Remy shrugged and continued to fallow her in silence watching her walk slowly, each step that she took was heavy and Remy could sense the pain that it shot into her body as she walked by" Finally the two reached a door labeled 'Girls Locker Room' "Now listen ya might not be able ta read but dis says girls room yer welcome ta work out with ma but ya gotta use the boys locker room ta get changed got dat?"
Remy nodded dumbly "An' dat be---" Rogue pointed right next to the girls room right next to Remy "An' yer sure Remy cant jus join ya in der?"
"No" she said finally and opened the door finally pulling herself in
When Remy stepped out of the locker room door once more he was greeted by Rogue who wore a black sports bra, biker gloves and sweat pants. Remy whistled at the sight of her causing her to role her eyes as she reached up and tied up her long brown and white hair.
"Ya comin'?" She asked as she started down the hallway. Remy fallowed her and nearly bumped into her as she halted to a stop and turning opened the door next to her. "'member what ah told ya last night Cajun don' touch ma skin" Remy opened his mouth to question this once more but she simply looked at him roughly causing him to nod.
They entered together a large bright room that smelled heavily of sweat and blood. Across the walls was a long line of treadmills, weights, stair climbers and other such work out machines.
Remy watched as Rogue walked across the room to a computer panel that was mounded onto the side of the wall. As he walked up next to her he gaze at with amazement as a small red laser beam flashed from the box on the wall and scanned Rogue's entire face. "What is---" but he was cut off as a message ran across the computer screen that caused him to stop in wonder and read out "Welcome Rogue" he glanced over at her "So will dis computer thingy recognize Remy chere?"
"Na yer still new" She said and began to slowly walk across the large room towards one of the many treadmills. Remy watched closely as she stepped onto one and began to press random buttons.
"Ma chere yer ankle it be hurt ya shouldn't be doing such things ta cause ya pain"
The strip on the treadmill began to roll back slowly causing Rogue to fallow it "One ah aint yer chere, two ya cause ma mental pain but hey yer here rahght now aren't ya and three do something now or else go bug someone else" Remy nodded and did not say another word. He took the treadmill next to Rogue and observed her, he could sense still the pain that flowed inside her but now it seemed…different. It felt as if she was using it to energies herself into an, as Remy watched her run faster and faster, extremely powerful state. She be taking that which makes her weak too make her stronger Remy's never seen anyone do dis be fer
Over the next three hours Remy watched intently as Rogue ran faster and faster for and hour straight on a broken ankle as good as Remy could tell. She did 175 push ups and 200 sit ups, 100 arm ups and 98 chin ups. He watched her as he lifted weights lift her own only 50 pounds less then what Remy was doing which was 250 Lb. He watched and watched and after lifting the bar bell up to its hold Rogue rolled off the edge of the seat and collapsed onto the floor.
"Chere!" Remy yelled breathlessly and pulling up his own barbell for the last time and into its own hold ran around to where Rogue was laying down, her chest rapidly moving up and down. He moved his hand slowly towards her face to see if she was alright but she slapped it away "chere ya alright?" he asked again worry in his voice
"Ah----told-------ya-----don------touch----ma----skin" she said taking deep breaths in between her words. Remy nodded and standing walked across the room to where Rogue could not tell. She closed her eyes tightly, she had done it again, forced her body past her limits and beyond until she was on the verge of blacking out which she had done many times before. Rouges eyes shot open when she felt her head being raised by gloved hands. She looked up and saw that Remy had gone over and grabbed gloves and a water bottle to which he was know asking her if she wanted some to drink but she was too dazed to hear and nodding opened her mouth as Remy squirted from the bottle water into her mouth. She coughed loudly and when he pulled the bottle back began to breathe heavily once more. "Thanks" she said and stood to stand and leave but she was dizzy and worn out from the workout and just about fell completely down once more
"Easy der cher" Remy said grabbing her weak body and picking it up into his arms which were know covered by the jacket that he had put on when she was drinking.
"Ah don' need yer help" she said though even as she did she slowly began to drift off weakly into a somewhat sleeping state. He smiled down at her happily somehow Remy always get da ladies he thought to himself and began out of the room and down the hallway to where he remembered her room was.
They had been working out for quite a long time it seemed as he finally saw the clock in Rogues room that read out 11 pm. He smiled sweetly down at Rogue who was almost completely asleep now as he placed her down carefully on her bed top. He was about to leave when he sensed the oddest feelings arising from Rogue with his empathy, fear and pain.
"Rogue?" he questioned and walked back to her and looked at her in worry she whimpered slightly but was still never the less fast asleep. He smiled down at her sweetly poor gal he sat himself at the end of her bed and carefully took off her sneakers that she had been working out in.
Her ankle was still badly swollen, red and in some places bleeding. Dis don' look good he said and began to slightly rub it. Rogue groaned slightly "No stop" she said aloud causing Remy to let go of Rogue's ankle and look over at her.
"chere?" he questioned and stood from the bed
"Logan…no…ah" Rogue said aloud once more
"Chere wake up yer having a nightmare?" Remy place his gloved hand to the side on Rogue's shoulder.
She shuttered slightly and began to open her eyes "Logan" Rogue sat up shivering now and looked over to see Remy starring at her. Her heart jumped out of her chest causing her to jump back on her bed slightly "What---what are ya doin' here?" she asked starring at Remy though her eyes were close to closing now
"Ya passed out somewhat in da work out room so Remy took ya back ta yers"
"Oh" was all she said back to this
"Ya alright cher?" he asked and sat himself down on the edge of the bed next to her and touched her bare hand with his gloved one causing her to flinch slightly "Remy's not gonna hurt ya"
"Yeah okay ahm gonna ta go ta bed alright so you get"
"Alright den chere, good night" he said and walked towards the open doorway. He was halfway through when the gruff man Logan came towards him
"Hey bub ya seen Strips?" he asked and took a puff of the cigar that Remy hadn't seen in his hand
"Yeah da chere be rahght in der" he said and pointed into the room. Logan glanced inside at Rogue and then back at Remy with anger in his eyes "Remy did none mon amie we be working out is all" he stated and put his hands up in his defense.
Logan growled and walked over to Rogue and seeing her ankle gave her and questionable look raising his one eyebrow. Rogue opened her mouth to talk but Logan shook his head and frowned "Stripes ya can't be like me don't be afraid to ask fer help got that?" he said Rogue nodded and looked off into a random corner of the room. Logan coughed slightly and looking off said as well "Ya know I could fix that for ya"
She smiled weakly up at him and Remy watched as he mouthed something to her that looked to be something along the lines of 'stop worrying' She smiled at him once more and hugging him head up her bare hand "Ah don' wanna hurt ya Logan" she said
"Kid yer not gonna hurt me its up to you though the things that you absorb are all black and blank memories of mine do you not want to is all up to you"
There was a long pause between the two during which Remy came to the conclusion that they had forgotten that he was there all together
"Fahne" she said "But don' hold on long only a tap should do it got it?"
"I've done this before Strips he said" Rogue nodded and Remy before he realized what was happened saw it. Logan lightly brushed his hand across her cheek which quickly began to glow. He pulled it back quickly and took another puff of the cigar. Rogue closed her eyes tightly and when she opened them they were bright, pure white. Remy glanced down at Rogues ankle know which was making a popping and cracking sound and saw with amazement the swelling go down and a bone move. The cuts, scraps and all such that had been on her body were now gone and Remy watched as Rogue's eyes turning back to green closed and she fell back and hit her pillow once more.
"Rogue!" Remy yelled somewhat and ran into the room but was stopped as he was about to reach her to see if she was alright by Logan "She's hurt" he said
Logan laughed at this "she's anything but now get her powers just took a bit more out of her this time"
"Powers?" Remy questioned
"Yeah now get yer ass out of her room" he ripped out his claws which turned out to be a bad idea because his knuckles began to bleed but he showed no pain I his face "be fer I personally make ya bub"
Remy smiled and walked out of Rogues room, stealing one last glance at her as he did"
What was with Rogue cry out for Logan in her sleep and the 'don't worry'
Remy saw her powers what he thinking now?
Sorry everyone school sucks ! I made it long though and hope you like !
Next Chappy or well Day: Remy sees Rogue once more but she's different, her ankle is better? And when he tells her that he saw her using her powers what then? Will she explain what she does and when will anyone learn of Remy's……skills?
