[She turns around very slowly and walks over and opens the door to look out.

Oh.]


Hell.

[Her voice is very quiet.

While she had no real problem hurting him if it came down to it, at least when they were enemies, but she hadn't wanted to kill him.

She braces her hands against the doorframe and feels sick.]

[Her shoulder slump further.

And then he went and tried to make her feel better after that, not even allowing her to decide whether or not she wanted to apologize.

Of course. Because it was just expected that she'd screw up.

Monster.

Silent, she reached out to close the door.]

Don't.

[She turned away from the door and walked towards a corner of the closet, sinking down into it.]

Just don't.

[They sit in silence for what I assume seems like a long while, but is probably actually more like a minute or two before Rogue mans up.

She lifts her face, and it's easy to find his eyes. They're glowing in the darkness, after all. And she stares right at them, defiantly bare of her defenses, and doesn't look away.]


I was mad at you. I'm still mad at you. But I had no call ta be that careless, an' for that, I apologize.

[She held his gaze for a moment more and then slid her own to the side.

Can't really blame her. Ha.

There was a long, long stretch of silence before she couldn't take it anymore.]


Do you have any idea what you did ta me? What kind of a game was this for ya, that you had to mess with me?

[She muttered a curse.

I trusted you.]

[She doesn't want to meet his eyes. Not only because she's afraid of what she'll see, but because she really, really doesn't want him to know how much this hurt her. She'd felt drawn to him when they were enemies, felt connected to him despite his betrayal, and had almost let herself believe, really believe, that he saw past her mutation, past her defenses, and despite knowing how much of a mess she was - she'd let herself believe that... that he wanted her. Just her. Not because of what she was, not because of what she could add, or because somewhere deep down she was a "good person" who he had to save - just her.

And then she'd seen him in love with someone else. Promised to someone else. Someone beautiful and competent. Someone she could never compete with, because she was someone he could touch.

And so what else could it be but a game?

Despite her best intentions, Rogue's gaze slid to his after his denial. There. He said it again. The truth.

You've got so many lies twisted up inside of you, Remy LeBeau, how would you even know? No wonder you're convincing.

But it was when he confessed that he should have told her that she scoffed, raising a hand in exasperation.]


Told me what? Ya think just lettin' me know you're engaged would make datin' you okay? Gawd.

[She might be a monster, but she's not that kind of monster.

She might be untouchable, but even she wanted something real.]

[And didn't he seem depressed about it, too. His poor little heart, just broken all to pieces. She wonders how long it took him to him to move on, or if it was canceled because his fiance found him with someone else. Hell.

She exhaled in disgust, swallowing down the urge to rip into him, saying just that. And doing that, no matter how he deserved it, would just show him how much she was still hurting and probably slide right off that snake's skin of his.]


Sure seems ta me like that's something you'd know for certain, 'fore you hold it up as any kind of excuse.

[Her frown deepens, contrasting what he said with what she saw.]

You're goin' ta sit there an' tell me that after all that, what you had goin' on with that girl was an arranged marriage?

[Rogue doesn't have much of a positive opinion of Jean-Luc. But she knew that Remy had cared about him and his family enough to go to extremes to rescue his father. Bringing the X-Men down on his back wasn't a small risk, no matter how arrogant he was.

Unless, of course, he'd honestly believed they wouldn't come for her, that they'd think she'd run away. And she couldn't blame him if he had. That had been a dark time.

But this was just too pat.]


Yeah, it looked like you were really sufferin'.

[Pause a beat.]

Just when was this "arrangement" supposed ta take place?

[Were you engaged before or after you kidnapped her?]

This whole time...

[She said it softly, but she hadn't meant to say it out loud at all. He'd been engaged the whole time.

The whole. time.

From the moment he handed her the card that blew up in her face to the moment that he handed her a card that she kept as a mark of - something - he'd been engaged.]


Son of a--

[But trying to expand her view beyond herself, he'd - he'd what, he'd gotten engaged and run?

She wanted to shut down, but she'd come this far, so she lifts her gaze to his and asks with blatant incredulity.]


What the hell?

[She did know. Julien was twenty pounds of crazy crammed into five pound sack. And having him out for your blood was not small joke. Remy was a Thief, but the Rippers were Assassins.

And she didn't exactly give Jean-Luc credit enough to think he'd stick his neck out for the best interests of his son. That, she knew, that moment in the boat when they'd talked about their adopted parents, she knew, she knew that hadn't been a lie.

He left to save his life. She can understand that. She'd done similarly when she'd joined the Brotherhood. She can't fault him for that, not when he said he'd gotten into this in order to bring peace. And she almost, almost believed him - he wasn't exactly the type to settle down. And she'd seen what he'd do in order to protect his family.

Her eyes lowered, her voice is also low, and husky with some undefined emotion.]


You did what you thought was right by you.

[It didn't make things better.]

[No, it doesn't.

But she doesn't need to reinforce that. If he's just saying it, nothing she can do will make an impact. And if he means it, then she's not the kind of person to rub his face in it.

She sighed, doing her best to emotionally withdraw. She'd opened up far too much in asking him this, and now she was raw and hurting again. She tries to shift the topic from this, now. She can't justify his choices. That's not any kind of position she wants to be in.]


Naw. You didn't make me any promises.

[You were her enemy. And then you were something else. She'd thought you'd wanted her. She'd been a fool. She can't blame him for that. Can't really even blame him for keeping this mess to himself, it just shows him for more of what he is - screwed up. And that didn't help his game.]

I put somethin' on this that wasn't there. That's on me.

[I thought you wanted me.]
