Everyone showered and for cleaned up. Then started heading out to their vehicles. Kitty and Rogue were walking along after saying goodbye to Nat. Kitty noticed Remy Lebeau lurking around.
" Don't look now, but looks like somebody wants to chat..." Kitty said.
" Fuck." Rogue said.," I took longer in the shower on purpose hoping to miss him..."
" Want me to shoo him away?"
" No, I'll go see what he wants. I'll try not to take to long. "
" All right. Good luck."
" Thanks. " Kitty diverted her path toward the car. Rogue started toward Remy who was playing with a deck of cards, performing tricks as he waited patiently.
" Evenin' Lovely."
" I presume you're waiting for me. "
" I am Cherie, just wanted to chat a few moments. "
" What about Remy?" She searched his red glowing eyes.they always glowed more in the dark. "
" You really spending time with Howlette?"
" Not as much as he would prefer."
" He bothering you love?"
" Not anymore than I can handle. I ask him to back off and he does, but I know he's always watching. "
" I can' blame him. Somebody gotta look after you."
" I can look after myself these days. As I told him, in not a little girl anymore. "
" Indeed you're not. I just wanted to let you know you looked great out there. It's nice to see you Rogue." He tipped his fedora at her." I see how things are, I won' be botherin' ya. But I will be looking out for ya."
" Thanks Rem. I'll be fine once this mission is over. I thought we were done with Erik, I really did, he just keeps coming back for more."
" I agree. And now Hydra's involved, they're evil people. You ask Fury about them, he'll tell you they terrible people."
" I'm going to do some research this week, see if we can expose some weaknesses, there has to be something we can do to over power them or something."
" Well, what I saw today, I think we have a decent team. We may get 'im this time. Maybe wipe out Hydra too."
" I hope so."
" I do too Cherie." He paused. " Well, I should let you get back. I just wanted to see you a moment. Ya look good lady. Fine as ever."
Rogue blushed a little," Thanks Rem. You going to Starks' later?"
" I may. I don' know for sure yet. Come. I'll walk you to your car."
" All right. "She turned and started walking to her car where Kitty waited patiently. Remy followed, glancing at her ass as she walked ahead of him.
" Eyes off my ass Lebeau!"
" Aaaaah! Can you blame me? Is just perfect Cherie! You've been working out..." he said seductively.
" Shut it." She had a hard time not smiling though, truth was she had been hitting up the gym a little more.
" Yes ma'am. Ahhh here we are." He opened her door and she sank down into her seat. Remy leaned in and said." Evenin' Miss Pryde."
" Remy." Kitty acknowledged." Up to no good as usual?"
" Me? Never!" He grinned." I will be seeing you around. Be safe ladies."
He shut the door on them. Kitty and Rogue sat there a moment watching Remy walk away.
" He looks good." Kitty said.
" Smells good too, I'd swear he had on the same cologne he used to wear when we were together. "
" Hmmm. Sooo come on, spill it! What did he want?"
Rogue put the car in gear and they started the trip home. "He just wanted to say Hi and let me know he's got my back. Asked me about Logan."
"What did you tell him?"
" I told him is not his business, and that I don't spend as much time with Logan as he'd like. And that when I ask Logan to back off he does. "
" Man, I know I said it earlier, but when it rains it pours for you. "
" Tonight at Stark's? There's going to be alcohol, I've heard about his parties...you've got a couple fellas pining for you, could get ugly in there."
" No joke! I am holding my ground until I know what I want. "
" Good for you! I'm glad you're staying strong. Don't let these dicks walk all over your good nature."
" Oh I won't. Trust me. " Rogue grinned.
They arrived at their apartment and hauled their bags inside. Then they went to get ready for the party at Tony Stark's tower. Rogue ran her hair straightener to smooth out her long locks. Applying subtle make up afterwards. Then she went to her closet, pulling out her favorite jeans and a pretty hunter green top. She slipped on her gloves and some sexy boots and was ready to go. Kitty had put on her favorite jeans as well, but her top was a black tank top under her favorite light leather jacket. Kitty pulled her hair into a ponytail and also slipped on some combat boots.
They were ready for the evening at Tony's and hung out until it was time to run back to the school to meet the limo. The girls were not the first to arrive. Storm and Kurt were lounging on a bench together, and Pete was walking up the sidewalk opposite them. He joined them.
"Evening ladies!" Pete said." You two look nice!"
" You're looking pretty sharp yourself Piotr!" Kitty said reaching her arm around his waist.
" Thank you!" He smiled and flicked at her ponytail.
Rogue suddenly heard Logan's motorcycle pulling up with the rest of the cars. She cringed lightly. Not sure if he had seen Remy talking with her earlier. Then Remy also pulled in. The team was ready for the evening. Logan had on his leather jacket with a black T-shirt and jeans and motorcycle boots. He swaggered up to the crowd. And Remy stepped out in black jeans, a deep burgundy button up shirt and black pinstriped vest. On top of his head was a black pinstriped fedora that matched his vest. He took Rogue's breath away, he always knew how to dress. Then again she noticed how tight Logan's T-shirt hung on him. She had to admit, if she was going to have more than one guy after her she could do worse.
" Evening folks." Logan said. He looked around the group and his eyes rested on Rogue's.
" Logan!"Piotr nodded to him.
" Hey Piotr. Kitty, Rogue."
" Hey." The girls said at the same time.
A moment later the limo pulled up. From the dorm rooms kids looked down and saw the senior team the true X-men file into the limo. Inside was a U-shaped seat so that everyone had a place to sit. Storm and Kurt sat on the back seat, Kitty and Pete chose a side together, she always looked so little compared to big Piotr, but they got along well. That left the other wall for Logan, Rogue and Remy. The men made her sit between them.
They both were excited to sit by her.
" Looking good Rogue." Logan said .
" She always does." Remy said.
" All right you two, let's get one thing straight right now. I'm not looking for anything right now with either of you, so just back off. Just don't even start because I'm not dealing with this seeming competition between you two. Got it?"
" Of course Cherie!" Remy said.
" All right, we read you loud and clear." Logan said calmly.
Everyone was chatting on the way to Stark Tower. Once they arrived they filed back out of the limo and looked up at the huge tower.
" Man, Stark has some money huh?" Logan asked.
" No joke! You obviously don't watch the news. "Kitty said.
"No, not if I can help it." Logan grinned.
Agent Coulson met them at the doors. A moment later the Avengers pulled up.
" Welcome! Tony is upstairs, come on up! I'm waving the security check, so come with me, we'll use the service elevator. "
Every one filed in line behind Philip. As they walked in and looked all around them taking in their surroundings. Arriving at the elevator Phil scanned his hand and the doors opened.
" I think we're going to need to make two trips folks. I'll ride up with the first group then come back down for the next group. Chat amongst yourselves. I will be back in a moment. "
Storm and Kurt, Logan and Remy, and Piotr and Kitty piled into the elevator with Phil.
" Rogue you coming?" Kitty hollered.
"I'll catch the next one!" Rogue needed away from Logan and Remy.
That left Rogue standing in the hallway with Natasha, Clint ,Bruce and of course Steve. He noticed her stay behind and came over to say hello.
" Hey, why you standing here alone? Come over and join us?"
" Hi Steve. Yeah! I just needed a little breathing room. But sure I'll join you!"
" Great , come on over!" He smiled and was pleased that she agreed to come and hang out with them. " Guys, you remember Rogue."
" Hey, nice moves out in the training room today. Must be nice to be able to fly!" Clint said.
" It does come in handy. " Rogue smiled.
" So you're also really strong right?" Clint asked.
" Yeah, and I can absorb other mutants powers, but I can kill normal people, that part isn't very cool. "
" That why you wear gloves?" Clint asked.
Bashful, she tucked her hair behind her ear and answered, " Yeah. I have better control than I used to, but I try to prevent accidents. When I am busy or distracted I forget to shield."
" Have you killed anyone?" Bruce asked.
" Yes, a few, it was horrible. I almost killed my first boyfriend the first time we kissed. I have killed a few enemies as well. That's how I got the flying ability."
"
" That part is really cool." Natasha said.
