What She Wishes
Part 1

It was a very chilly evening as she stood outside her balcony getting a brief glimpse of the star-lit sky. The moon was full and the sun had finally set over the horizon. Her hair was dancing around her face to the soft motions of the breeze. Even with the light air she continued to stand, admiring the view. Her hair was red with a single white streak going through the front. Soon she turned to one side looking at the mountain-view. The glass of the opened door reflected her pale white face with dark purple eye shadow and the same color lipstick. Her outfit was dark green, long sleeved, and her usual black gloves remained in place. Sighing, she remembered how hard it was to be her. Never able to touch another living soul. It made her ache inside as a tear trickled down her cheek.

From the hallway a slimming man about a foot taller than herself was turning into her room. He slowly walked up behind her as his own reflection was now in the glass behind hers. The man wore a dark tan trench coat with a black, grey, and red full-body uniform. His hair was brown, and his eyes were a unique red on black. He wore black gloves with the fingers cut out of them as well. Behind her he stood pulling a deck of cards out of his pocket he leaned against the door frame and started shuffling them nonchalantly.

Then he finally broke the silence. "What makes my Rougey cry so?" He asked putting the cards away and embracing her from behind.

"It's nothing, Remy." She sighed and Remy knew that it wasn't nothing.

"I know it be somethin' Cheri. Rouge can' hide from me." The Cajun sighed. His accent in full bloom. Rouge smiled briefly as she wiped her eyes.

"Sorry."

"Not'in' t' be sorry for. Jus tell Remy wut be wrong."

"Ah'm jus still not raht. Aftah all o' that we went through, Ah'm still not able t' touch anyone." She sighed still trying hard not to cry.

"I said we'd get through, it t'gether Cheri. An' I meant every word I said." Gambit sighed slightly. "I still need t' learn. You've brought somet'in' out in me, Rouge. You've taught me a lot. Now it Remy turn t' help you."

She leaned into his warmth, and he felt her body shiver. He gently, without a word, wrapped his coat around her keeping her warm. "Sure is beautiful, eh?"

"Yes, Ah suppose it is." She sighed very sharply. Her head clouded with a memory…

"LET ME GO! AHHHHHHH!" She screamed as Apocalypse drained every power she had ever gained out of her.

Gambit ran towards her as she fell, her body limp, her arms bear. His hand touched her, no power. "Rouge! Please say somet'ing Cheri…anyt'ing. Don' scare Remy…Please wake up!"

His eyes started to get cloudy and lost their luster as she was positioned limply in his arms. Tears slowly coated his flaming eyes as Rouge wouldn't move or say that she was okay. "Please, Cheri…Don' do dis t' Remy!" He continued to hold her limp body to his as she finally coughed and awoke.

"Remy, Wah happen?" She asked shocked as his bare fingertips were on her back and she wasn't absorbing him. He let her move back so she could see him. "Please…" Rouge said very lightly… "Don't tell me Ah'm dreamin'."

"No, Mon Amour, You not dreamin'."

Rouge leaned forward and felt his lips meet hers. He caressed them fully and very passionately. She felt limp in his arms, and let him lead her in every loving movement. Remy noticed this and teased her by gently kissing her neck in return and coming back to her lips just only so softly.

That's when she snapped back to reality as Remy was whispering soft French loving words in her ear to try to bring her back to. To comfort her. He learned that if he did this it would help her through her episodes more quickly. Remy worried about her ever since that day with Apocalypse, ever since that she regained her ability, her headaches got worse. Xavier said it was because of the drain, and she still has to deal with the powers and memories being pulled out of her. It is an ongoing process, and Remy was willing to be there for her.

Again like every other episode, she fell limp. Not passing out, but just losing control of who she was. It was strange for her to relive past memories. Especially the ones with Gambit after her power drain for that whole month. She knew after that, she wouldn't be able to ever touch him again. Ever.

"Easy, Cheri." He said as he caught her. "You 'ad 'nother bout didn' y'?"

"Ah must've blahked out again. Ah really wish that the Professor could do somethin' fer me. Mahbe Ah'm jus' supposed t' be this way." Rouge sighed. "Ah still don' know wah ya hang around me."

"Because, Mon Amour, You have somet'ing Remy don' want y' t' loose. Gambit say he love you, an he does." He sighed. "Jus' because y' t'ink Remy can stay wid you cause he can' touch you…I'm always goin' t' be here Cheri. I'm not afraid t' touch you, you jus' won' let me."

"Ah jus' don' want t' see you get hurt." Rouge turned away from the balcony and started to go inside when he stopped her.

"Remy know how long y' waited Cheri t' find someone who wouldn' be afraid t' touch y', even wid you power. Remy dat person, Cheri. It time you start trustin' Gambit." He pulled her back to him. "Though, however, y' taught Remy a valuable lesson. Emotion is more in a relationship den bein' able t' touch someone. Remy too attached t' y' t' give up. Dis Cajun is 'ard t' loose."

"Ah jus' still don' wanna loose ya Cajun. Remy Ah've gotta lot to deal with."

"An' Remy understands."

She closed her eyes and blacked out, unaware of what happened to her next…not knowing anything…just lost in another episode…a random black out.

Aren't cliff hangers a pain...? Sorry!
