Tweak says, "Don't tell me."

Who: Rogue, Remy, and Logan
When: Tuesday Evening
Where: In the famous Rec Room
What: The countdown might be coming too fast for the couple. Rogue needs some help, provided by Logan.

Remy didn’t think he’d ever spent so much time with a girl as he had those past few days. Doctor Richard’s accident was a miracle he hadn’t thought to wish for, and ever since their magical Wednesday night – no matter the strife that led up to it – he’d spent his free time hoping Rogue had free time, too.

But they were nearing their last huzzah. Remy had asked Rogue to meet him in the rec room for their final evening of being, well, powerless. Which for them meant being a normal couple. Remy was forcing himself not to think of the future. He wanted to cherish the last moment. Who knew how long it would last after this?

He leaned against a pool cue, the balls already set up in their triangle on the pool table. His still-normal eyes flashed with the prospect of gambling tonight. He was quite possibly staking his life on when the powers came back up, but that was all part of the thrill, wasn’t it?

Rogue had only just left Remy's room. It felt like they'd spent the whole week together, hiding away in Remy's room, having lots of sex and spending every waking (and most of their sleeping) moment together, touching in some way or another. It was bliss for poor Rogue, who was now growing more and more nervous and stressed out that her powers were going to come back.

She'd gone to shower and change her clothes, and was then instructed to meet Remy in the Rec Room. She was doing her best not to think about what was going to happen tonight, and live in the moment--in the now. Powerless. She wanted to be with him one last time.

Rogue headed downstairs and stepped into the Rec Room. Her gloves dangled from her back pocket. She stepped quickly over to him, thinking that if her powers came back any minute, she wanted one last kiss.

Remy didn't feel the bliss to the same degree Rogue did - he had always taken touch for granted before he started courting Rogue. But as their clock ran out, he found himself looking back on their week, wishing he could have added more hours in the day for everything, from the sex to the sleeping. Waking up next to her, entwined in sheets? Heaven.

Best week ever. He didn't want to think about it drawing to a close.

He grinned at Rogue as she walked in. Their few minutes apart had felt like an eternity every time he looked at a clock. He brushed a few fingers across her cheek, greeting her with a simple kiss.

"So, Roguie," he said, picking up his pool cue. "New bet. If I can sink all those balls in one hit, we kiss 'til ya got no breath left, try t'keep kissin' a lil' while longer, and den find one place t'be toget'er dat ain't my room. Add a lil' extra zing t'our lessons, non?"

	Rogue gave a soft laugh as she stepped back and away from him. "If ya can knock all those balls in one hit, then ya can do whatevah ya want." She didn't think he could do it. She assumed he just wanted to make her bet something in return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I lose," Remy said as though he'd read her thoughts, "ya get a wild card. Whatever ya want."

He'd been practicing. And the pool cue was feeling more and more natural in his hands. That really should have been a tip-off to him, that his powers were starting to return, but he didn't think about it that way. He just wanted to show off for his little lady, and the prospect of having their fun outside of his room was exciting.

"But juss ya watch..." He turned from her, eying his shot. He took a few careful moments to line it up, but he had managed four out of the last six he'd practiced on, and his confidence was building up rapidly. He slammed the cue tip into the white ball. He had memorized this shot. It was going in.

He wasn't exaggerating. The balls scattered - and, rapidly at first, then one-by-one, the balls fell into the various pockets. Every single one. Confident smirk wide across his face, he turned back to Rogue.

Rogue raised an eyebrow. How could she get whatever she wanted? He couldn't give her what she really wanted. But he could give her some nice things. It was sort of fun to think about, really. She nodded.

"You're on."

And then she leaned against the table to watch him break. Her jaw dropped further and further as all of the pool balls fell into the pockets. She turned to him, grinning and glaring at the same time.

"You cheated!"

	Remy flashed her a grin, pulling her close. He stared down at her, with a brief flicker of red flashing through his irises. "I did not!" he exclaimed, feigning hurt. He put a finger to her lips. "But next time, I lose. Den ya get whatever I can get ya." He moved his finger to cup her face. "But dat's den, dis is now." He leaned in for the promised kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rogue actually didn't care if he'd cheated or not. She wanted to kiss until they were both breathless, then go find somewhere to get personal. That sounded like a brilliant idea to her, and she wasn't about to stop him.

The smirk on her face was almost extinguished when his lips met hers. Almost, but not quite. She was getting better and better at returning kisses with a bit of a grin on. It was just fun to be with him.

She was too busy kissing him to notice that the white streak in her hair was returning slowly.

Remy's hands wandered to the hem of Rogue's shirt as they kissed, pushing in as much as he could. He slipped his hands up her shirt - all those clothes were really bothersome when they were trying to touch as much as possible. He didn't notice the white either - and if he had, he likely wouldn't have stopped anyway.

The first physical testament to her power returning was too slight for him to think it was anymore than just the magic of the kiss. It was nothing more than a spark between them.

	Rogue wrapped her arms up and around him as they kissed, finding she was growing stronger. She didn't think about it, though, as a hand tangled in his hair. She loved the feeling of her fingers against his scalp, his hands on her stomach. It was so powerful that she didn't notice her power coming back on. Their mouths started to stick together, as if vacuumed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Remy began to notice. It wasn't the shock that he felt when he kissed her, as briefly as he could, after their first date. It was more gradual. And it felt more dangerous. Still he didn't pull back. The thrill was holding him there - and then it was more than the thrill. Then it was her powers, too.

His eyes started to flutter, he was feeling weaker, but something was holding him there. He couldn't break the kiss. He pushed against her, grunting. This wasn't how he'd planned it...

Rogue's eyes opened. They were dark, red. She brought her hands to his chest and gave a push, pushing him off of him. Of course, she hadn't known that her super strength was back, and she pushed quite a bit harder than she ever would have if she'd had her senses about her. Her fingers tingled. That must've been Remy's power.

"Oh, mah Gawd, are you all right?? ... Remy...??"

Remy was conscious long enough to see his eyes reflected in her own, and in a split second, he realized they weren't his. It wasn't a reflection. She'd absorbed that part of him. How much more-?

His eyes were closing even before she pushed him back. He almost flew backwards, stumbling and skidding until he hit the pool table hard, falling onto it.

He couldn't answer. His eyes were closed, his whole body slack.

"Oh, Gawd, oh, Gawd, oh, Gawd..." Rogue ran over to where he was laying on the table. She reached her hands out as if to shake him, but realized her hands were tingling even more now. She didn't want to risk using his powers against him, especially with him unconscious.

The door. She turned, instead, and ran out the door into the hall, calling for help. "Someone! Please, someone help! He's out cold!"

	Logan was out stretching his legs, secretly thanking God that he was alive. Then he heard a crash and started running down the hall. Rogue's screams reached his ears quickly. "Did you zap him?" Logan asked, trying to figure out what he was dealing with. By the way he was sprawled on the pool table, it looked more like force. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah didn't mean ta!" Rogue said, leading the way back into the Rec Room and standing by the pool table. Her eyes were still black and red, and she was afraid to touch anything. Her hands were still tingling. "Ah didn' know mah powers were comin' back... so soon..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Shit, shit, shit!" Logan carefully lowered Remy to the floor, supporting his neck in case there was damage. He checked his pulse. "His heart's still going strong. Maybe you just knocked him out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pariah_rogue 2009-09-04 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"Gawd, Ah hope so." Rogue lowered down next to them, looking into Remy's face with abject terror. "His eyes opened fer a moment before he ended up on the table." She said. That was a good sign, right? "He's not in mah head." She added. Carol had been in her head. Her eyes were still black and red, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Logan had to make the decision to move him. Without him being conscious, it was hard to tell. He figured Remy would forgive Logan for not being able to walk if he survived, so he scooped him up and carried him towards the infirmary." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rogue sat back for a moment before getting up to follow Logan carrying Remy to the Infirmary. Jean (or whoever was going to care for Remy) was probably going to need an explanation. On the way, Rogue pulled her glove from her pocket and charged it, just to get rid of the tingling in her hands. (Reply to this) (Parent)
