Entry 8: X-Men: Evolution
------
Rogue and Gambit are reunited after one year. Remy has something important to tell her during lunch.

Rogue and Remy made their way to the cafe that the Cajun talked about and were quickly seated at a table in the outdoor patio. The waiter asked them for their drink orders. When the pair placed their orders, the waiter left to fill them.
Rogue decided to start off the conversation. "So, what brings you back here to Bayville?"
The waiter had returned with the drinks and Remy took a moment to sip his drink before answering. "Just passin' t'rough. T'ought Ah check in 'n see how t'ings be goin'."
Rogue knew that wasn't the truth. At least, not the whole story anyway. She gave him a look that said, 'I'm not impressed.' "Cut the crap, Remy. Why ya really here?" She only got a smirk from the cocky Cajun.
"Would ya believe moi if Ah tol' ya Ah left home?" Remy took another sip of his tea and made a face. Cold tea plus sugar did not equal sweet tea.
Rogue was surprised by this revelation. "Ya left home? Why?"
Remy shrugged. Their conversation was once again put on hold, however, because the waiter had arrived to take their food orders. Once food was ordered, and the waiter left to put them in, Remy continued. "Don' feel like Ah belong de'h no more. Tante Mattie encourage Remy t' do what feel right."
Rogue raised her eyebrow. "And that is?" She was curious.
Remy smirked at Rogue. "Me, Ah wish t' join de X-Men."
Rogue was rendered speechless by this statement. She was not able to get her response out though. Their conversation was interrupted by a very familiar snarl...

Note: This is a scene from a fanfic I started writing back in 2011. My pacing and ability to create decent sized chapters back then was absolutely horrible. I recently decided that I want to do a total rewrite of this story. This cafe scene was originally much shorter and had very little to no detail in it.
