This is purely a fanfic! I love the X-Men series and I love Rogue/Gambit just as much. They are my favorite character's and favorite X-men couple from the series. Now I watched the Animated series when I was a kid and I watch X-men evolution and I have seen all the movies. I haven't really read much when it comes to the comics so please remember I won't be getting every single detail right. This is a fanfic which I'm purely writing for fun. This fic is set after X3 so the storylines will follow the movies more then anything else but I will be changing some things because I hated the ending for X3. No Offense to anyone who liked it but i was disappointed.

"Thanks for letting me join you on this Logan. I needed to get away from that school for awhile."

"I don't blame ya kid. That place can be more confining then a sardine can."

Rogue chuckled at Logan's sarcasm. He always knew how to keep things on the lighter side and not take everything so seriously.

"You need to start getting into the field more anyway. You have been doing more then great in the danger room and now that you can control what power you choose to posses you have really become a important member of the team."

"Aw gee thanks Dad." I punched his steel hard arm.

"Don't get mushy on me stripes or I'll turn this car around." Logan grunted.

"So what is the deal with this mutant we are going to check out. Storm was vague on the details."

"His name is Remy Lebeau but he goes by Gambit. His powers involve some kind of kinetic energy."

"Meaning?"

"He can blow stuff up."

"Oh this is going to be fun. So we might actually see some action?"

Logan gave me a quick smirk.

"Don't get to excited kid. This isn't a kicking ass and taking names kinda job. It's more like get some information without pissing people off kinda job."

"Then maybe you shouldn't do the talking."

Logan rolled his eyes and grunted.

"Storm mentioned he might be working for Magneto. Is that way he are checking him out?"

"That is part of the reason."

"What is the other?"

"Personal kid."

Rogue frowned to the answer. Logan was never known for keeping things from Rogue. He always gave her the brutal truth even when she didn't ask for it. Rogue's mind wandered to a memory. It was a month after her powers came back with full force. The so called cure was only temporary and when it came back Rogue's dreams of ever being normal was crushed into billions of mutant pieces. Bobby was understanding at first but as time went on he became more and more distant and Rogue couldn't help but notice all the extra time he was spending with Kitty. Rogue realized that she was never going to have a normal relationship with anybody as long as she had her powers so she broke up with Bobby and decided to give up on being close to someone ever again. After the breakup she devoted her time to training and learning to control her powers. She could now control what power she chose to use from whatever mutant she absorbed their power from but sadly she still had no control of what happened when people touched her skin. While Rogue was training like it was a religion Bobby didn't waste much time on starting a relationship with Kitty which really poured the salt onto Rogue's already painful wounds. That was when Logan gave her some brutal honesty when he found Rogue crying on the roof.

"Listen kid I know you care about the guy but trust me when I say that dull icecube doesn't deserve to breath the same air as you. Promise me kid that you will never let that brainless popsicle worm his way back into your life again."

"I promise Logan. Trust me when I saw I'm done with letting people get close."

Rogue shook the painful memories and focused back to the long car ride.

"So were exactly are we headed?"

"New Orleans." Logan looked at Rogue with a cocked eyebrow as Rogue's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Really? We are going down to the good ole south?"

Logan smirked as he heard Rogue's southern drawl. It was starting to disappear the longer she had been in New York but you could still hear that southern belle twang slip out every once in awhile.

"Calm down stripes. Remember this is work not fun."

"All work and no play makes Logan a mad Wolverine."

"Work is fun."

Rogue rolled her eyes as she looked out the window. They were on a long stretch of road that was lined up with big mossy trees. Rogue rolled down the window and stuck her head out. She took a deep inhale of the sweet balmy smell of the south. It reminded her so much of home back in Mississippi. She looked up into the vast black sky and smiled as a full moon emerged from patches of clouds. This was exactly what she needed. A reminder of were she came from and who she used to be before everything went to hell. Rogue pulled her head back in the car smoothing down her windblown hair. Logan didn't give her a weird look or even question her when she hung her head out of the car like a dog. He knew she was enjoying being back in a place that was bringing her some kind of happiness and Logan knew no one deserved some happiness more then Rogue.

"How much further?" Rogue asked as she fidgeted with her black velvet gloves.

"Half in hour or so. Storm set as up at a hotel for a few days while we find our mutant."

"Gambit." Rogue corrected him.

"Whatever. I just want to find the guy without causing any trouble."

"Logan I would've thought that by now you would know trouble is a close friend to the both of us."

"I know kid and that is what worries me."
