A/N-Not mine, please don't sue! P.S. I took your advice…I used the space bar! Go me! Enjoy now!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Was that strictly necessary? And on your first official day here, to boot." Logan chided. Though, on the inside he was laughing. His Rouge had caught the dirty thief unaware. Don't get him wrong, he liked Gumbo enough, but the boy was right cocky sometimes. It was nice to see him being takin' down a notch or two by none other then his Rogue. That didn't mean he had to let Rogue see how happy he was about that.

"Aw, come on Logan! He snuck up on us! If that doesn't earn a good nose breaking, I don't know what does! But…if you really think I was being too inappropriate, and are forced to ask me to leave as soon as possible…" Rogue sighed dramatically, as she let the sentence trail off.

Logan raised his eyebrow. She didn't honestly think that he was letting her go that easy, did she?

Just when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a groan.

"Merde, chère, why'd you go and do a t'ing like dat to poor Remy? He wasn't sneaking up on you, he just be walkin' quietly. Looked like you two were having an argument, and Remy just wanted to know how he could assist such a lovely belle as yourself."

At his words, Logan's good humor all but evaporated. He'd heard that tone before. A quick look at Rogue, however, reassured him that he had nothing to worry about. If the Cajun was looking for a challenge, he'd found one in Rogue. And if, and that was a mighty big "if", the Cajun somehow wormed his way into Rogues heart, enough so that she went on a date…or further…then he had, by all means, earned it. Didn't mean that Logan was going to make it any easier on him. And with that thought, all his previous humor came back to him, as he let out an evil smile.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

He couldn't be sure what their connection was, but Remy knew it was there. When he opened up his empathy ability, he could almost taste the love, protection and possessiveness coming off Logan. The belle fille was giving off equal amounts of love and annoyance. The love, however, didn't feel like the lover kind. More like, well, like siblings, but much closer. And, as far as he could tell, there was no physical attraction coming off either of them. How that was possible, Remy had no clue.

Logan, though not one to make is conquests public, was almost as much of a playboy as himself. And the belle chère was just the kind of women he normally spent time with. And standing as they were, side by side like that, Remy couldn't deny how striking they looked together. Logan, with his gruffness and compact powerful form seemed somehow tamed next to the pale calmness of the belle chère that he was standing next to. Though for all her exterior calm, Remy could sense the storm waiting to break free not far underneath.

It was, Remy though, a good thing that Logan had been struck by sudden blindness, (how else could Remy explain the lack of physical desire coming from Logan?) because Remy would hate to break their friendship by going after a chère that the Wolverine already had marked as his own. Unfortunately, he could feel the driving need to get to know this fille drown out any moral qualms he might have had.

Yes, Remy decided, it was a very good thing that the Wolverine didn't want this belle fille, because she would soon be his.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rogue could feel the tension coming off both the men she was with. Logan's tension was streaming from the fact that he was trying hard not to laugh at the newcomer. The newcomer seemed to be creating his own tension by sizing up both her and Logan.

At that thought, Rogue rolled her eyes. Oh, she knew that look all right. And that tone of voice. Not to mention the look in Logan's eyes. Stupid boy was trying to seduce her! And not very well, at that!

Sure, the boy was as hot as they came. And damn it all if that punch to his face didn't make him somehow more attractive! Too bad the rules were very specific about these situations. Never, repeat, never fool around with someone you work with. When things ended, and they always did, someone's feelings would be hurt. Which could lead to all sorts of badness if you had to go on a mission with them. They get distracted, or purposely don't warn you of danger, and before you can say Bobs your Uncle, you're down and out.

Of course, she had no reason to believe that he was on the team. I mean, just because Logan wasn't tearing him to threads didn't mean he was on the team….

"Sure you were Gumbo." Logan's words penetrated her brain. Sighing loudly, he turned to Rogue and proceeded with introductions.

"This is another member of the senior team," 'Damn'. The word quickly filtered through her mind. "his name is Remy, alias, Gambit." Turning to Remy, he continued his conversation. "Remy, this is," he paused there to dramatically throw his arm around Rogues shoulder and pulled her closer, "Rogue."

A/N- I know, I know. Not a lot of dialogue. But look ma! They finally met! Thanks too
