Rogue sighed, they had taken Jean-Luc to the same place. There had been modifications however. After last time they weren't willing to let him go. Not without a big fight. "This ain't gonn' be easy." Rogue stated. Gambit shook his head "No it ain't chere." Rogue looked at Gambit, strangely he looked really handsome. His short brown hair gently blowing back in the muggy air, dark eye scanning the area constantly. She shivered, partly because of the cold partly because of the realization that she really did care about Gambit. He looked over at her. "Cold?" He asked. She nodded in responce. Gambit pulled off his trench coat and handed it to her. "Here, you need it chere." She grabbed the coat from him and put it on.
A few minutes later they were at the back door of the building. Rogue tapped both guards, knocking them out and getting the layout of the building. "He's in the basement. It's gonna be hard to get to him. They've got guards all over the place and everyone in there's got a gun or kabar." Gambit walked over to the door. "Y' sure y' wanna do this chere?" Rogue nodded. "Ah'm sure." Gambit nodded and grabbed her gloved hand. "Le's go t'en." He let Rogue lead him through the building, avoiding as many men as possible. Enevtably they ran into a lot but easily dispatched them.
A little while later, after a lot of sneaking, hiding and ambushing they found the room where Jean-Luc is. The guards were standing with their backs to a wall at the end of the hall. There was no sneaking up on them so instead a distraction.
Rogue shook her head at Gambit's idea. "Ah don't think that's a good idea." She whispered. Gambit gently grabbed her face with a gloved hand. "Y' got a better idea chere?" He asked, softly stroking her cheek with his thumb. Rogue was silent for a moment before saying "Let me distract them." Gambit shook his head. "I can't let you put yourself in danger chere." He started to walk past her but she grabbed his hand, stopping him from heading around the corner to the guards. He looked at her, surprise displayed clearly on his face. "Ah don't want you hurt either." Rogue admitted. Gambit smiled sweetly as he stepped towards her. Rogue felt her pale cheeks turning bright red as he leaned down to her, closing the gap between them. For what felt like forever Rogue was in complete euphoria. She was lost in the warmth of his lips, his hand gently caressing her face.
Then it ended, as quickly as it started. Gambit drew away from her. He leaned on the wall for a moment. He looked so weary from the touch of her skin on his, yet he looked exilerated. Like the shock of the touch woke him up. He smiled at her then took off around the corner. Rogue gasped and impulsively tried to go after him but stopped herself.
She cringed when she heard gun shots. Carefully she poked her head around the corner. She sighed in relief when she saw Gambit standing there and two unconsciously guards on the ground. He glanced at her and smiled before motioning for her to come to him.
She hurried over to him, just then realizing she was still wearing her jacket. She smiled at the smell of it, or of him. He lead her into a small room where Jean-Luc was tied to a chair. He laughed when he saw Gambit. "Ah new you'd come for me son." When he saw Rogue he nodded a greeting as Gambit charged the ropes. "Ah see ya brought your pretty little girlfriend." Rogue blushed slightly and looked away as the ropes blew off. Gambit walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Come on. We better get outta 'ere 'fore they find out y' gone." Gambit said, leading Rogue out of the room. Jean-Luc stood from the chair and followed them out. No since in waiting around there.
