Epilogue

It was a sunny Monday morning in June and Rogue was busy waiting tables at the diner like always. As far as she could tell, her powers had finally come back completely just a couple of months ago. Unlike the first time around, however, she could actually touch people with confidence that she wouldn't absorb anyone unless she chose to, and it was an exhilarating feeling. Niel had been arrested at his home the day following Rogue's absorption of his person, and that was the last she'd heard of him. Rogue was rather smug about that.

While Rogue delivered breakfast to one of her tables, she noticed a newcomer with chin-length brown hair enter the diner and sit down at an empty table in her section. He wore dark sunglasses, a brown trench coat, a fuchsia dress shirt, black pants and a pair of leather motorcycle boots. She'd deliver the next order and then go to take his, she decided, that would give him time to look over the menu.

Rogue turned to head towards the counter and she could already see Lisa ogling him. No doubt she'd hear about how hot he was and how lucky she was to have such a sexy guy in her section. Fortunately, Lisa was busy when she arrived to pick up the next order and succeeded in delaying hearing Lisa's gushing.

Rogue delivered the order and glanced over at the newcomer's table; he'd put the menu down and was waiting, as she had expected. She pulled out her notepad and pen as she approached and snickered to herself as she noticed him look her over. These guys in the dark sunglasses always seemed to forget that just because no one can see their eyes, doesn't mean no one can see what direction their head is facing.

"Mornin' sugar," she said. "Ready to order?"

"I'll have the big breakfast, with the waffles and orange juice and a coffee," he replied and Rogue caught the tilt of his head as he looked down slightly. "Marie."

Rogue smirked slightly as she wrote down his order. He'd definitely just checked out her chest. Tight uniform shirts for the win - and by win, she meant good tips.

"No problem," she replied.

End!

Of course it had to end with a glimpse of I Make Men Weak at the Knees, hehehehe.

Anyway, I enjoyed writing this story. I hope you guys enjoyed reading it, and thanks as always to all my lovely reviewers. You sure know how to make my day :D

Next story will be King of Thieves. No ETA at this time, though.
