REMY! He drove the first few hours in the hummer as they headed south. But now, Remy sat curled up in the large seat of the luxury, all terrain vehicle, air conditioner blasting, leading him to cuddle under his trench for warmth. It was about time he slept, anyway. He'd probably been up more than 24 hours.

ROGUE! Reaching over to turn down the intensity of the air conditioning, Rogue's green eyes only strayed from the road to check the rear- and side-mirrors, not really stealing looks at her sleeping boyfriend all that much. The radio was on, though low in volume so Remy could sleep well, and Rogue was humming along to the tunes.

REMY! Remy rustled in his seat a bit when the air calmed, "Mmm, it's hot," he turned over to face her, still curled up, sunk into his seat.

ROGUE! "You were just shiverin'," she stated calmly, watching as a car pass them on the lonely road.

REMY! 'But it's hot now," he pouted, sitting up in his seat. His eyes moved to the bare road, broken trees, the empty town below, and a frown set in.

ROGUE! "Y'all can change it yourself," she turned her eyes to him, frown on her lips when she saw his. "You should sleep. We ain't there yet."

REMY! "I jus'slept," he glanced to the clock, "two hours. M'fine. We almost there."

ROGUE! "Y'need more sleep than that f'all the time ya were awake," she passed a car that was going slow, eyes always on the road.

REMY! "I cain't," he watched the slow car as they passed it. "I wanna see when we get into th'city."

ROGUE! "Fine," she wouldn't argue anymore; both of them were too tired and grumpy.

REMY! He continued to frown, sitting deep in his chair, he glanced back over to her, head rolling, "We go through Mississippi already?"

ROGUE! She cleared her throat a bit, hand running through her hair as she nodded. "Mmhm. Not too long ago."

REMY! He watched her a moment, "Y'awright?"

ROGUE! "M'fine," she nodded again, flashing him a smile when she glanced over. "Made a detour through Caldecott County."

REMY! "Y'didn't wake me up?"

ROGUE! "There was nothin' left," she shrugged.

REMY! "We coulda stopped, babette."

ROGUE! "I didn't wanna stop," she was watching the road now, dropping a hand to scratch her thigh.

REMY! He broght a semi-gloved hand up to stoke her hair, finger on her cheek before he sat forward, and watched the road pass.

ROGUE! Rogue leaned into his hand, eyes shutting only momentarily. "All that was left was wood an' foundations. Poppa an' aunt Carrie prolly got away."

REMY! A little nod. He'd hoped that everyone had gotten out of New Orleans, too. Jean-Luc, and Henri. Everyone else. He hadn't talked to them in so long - what a time to call.

ROGUE! And Bella, too? Rogue reached over and turned the volume of the radio up, arm happy to stretch out. "You still warm, sug?"

REMY! Even Bella. "A lil," he reached for the knob and turned up just a lil. He looked back out of the window, the highway now littered with garbage, and debris, frown deepening as he looked ahead, eyes just a bit wide.

ROGUE! "We almost there?" She asked, not really knowing the roads very well.

REMY! "Stop th'car," was all he said.

ROGUE! Rogue looked to him before checking the mirror, signalling, and pulled over to the side of the road. "What?"

REMY! He opened the door, turning his head at the smell of city wide mildew. "We here," he pointed forward, "that ain't road, it's water."

ROGUE! Rogue shut off the car and turned to look at the water. "Oh," was all she said.

REMY! Remy got out, closed the door and just stood, looking over the slowly drying ruins of his only home. "I cain't even tell where we are. Ain't no signs, nothin' looks familiar."

ROGUE! She got out quickly after him, crossing her arms as she leaned back on the car's front bumper. She didn't say anything, just, looked.

REMY! He climbed up on to the side of expresseay divider, and hopped to the other side. Walking to the other side, he leaned on the shoulder, then hopped over, and to the soaked ground, out of sight.

ROGUE! "Remy?!" She had watched him wander over, but now that he was out of sight, she got worried. Immediately, flames surrounded her and she lifted up into the air, following after him from the sky.

REMY! There was only a lil splash, he was now thigh high in filthy water. He looked up when he saw her pass over head, "M'right here." He kept walking, quarter staff drawn as he pushed things he'd rather not seen to the side.

ROGUE! Rogue dropped down so that she was floating just above the water, "What're ya lookin' for, Remy?"

REMY! He glanced back up at her before he kept walking forward, wading through. He didn't know what he was looking for.

ROGUE! Looking around a bit more, Rogue spotted a body in the water not so far off. She shut her eyes for a moment before hurrying after Remy. "I can carry y'all," she's not comfortable with you in the water.

REMY! "Y'see any signs anywhere?" he ignored the offer. He was sure they'd just come off the crecent city connection. "Lookin' f'st. charles avenue."

ROGUE! "Just a sec," she rose up a bit, looking either way before she spotted a sign. "Remy!" She pointed to their right, "I think it's over there."

REMY! he looked up and over to where she'd pointed, and started toward, water about waist high now.

ROGUE! "Remy. Let me help you," she dropped back down to his level. "The water's makin' me nervous."

REMY! "Help me what?" he asked, looking to her at his side, still forwning. Now, he was only frowning so hard to keep himself from crying.

ROGUE! "I don't want you strugglin' through that dangerous water when I can carry you just as easy... Even easier."

REMY! "Y'gon'keep botherin' me until I agree?"

ROGUE! "Yes," she nodded, holding out a hand.

REMY! He sighed, reaching up, looking away as more floated past. "Fine."

ROGUE! She grabbed his hand and hauled him up into her arms, wrapping them tight under his armpits. "Thanks..."

REMY! He was silent while she carried him. Any other time, he'd be glad to be in this position, not today.

ROGUE! "Where d'you wanna go, sug?" She asked quietly, rearranging her arms as the fires around her grew to support Remy's weight.

REMY! He nodded forward, "That roof over there. The flat black one." it looked familiar.

ROGUE! "Okay," she got them there in about ten seconds, setting Remy down before stepping on the roof herself. "Ya know this place?"

REMY! He quickly moved to the side, looking over the edge, then the other side, to do the same. "Think it's th'guild." He knealed down and started charging the roof, then standing and jogging to the side waiting for it to blow.

ROGUE! Rogue quickly followed him, not really wanting to get evilly blown up by her boyfriend, and waited along with him. A hand raised in a sense of protection.

REMY! KERBAM! After the dust cleared, he went back over, and looked down into the hole. "Ain't no one down there," he hopped down, the water had receeded, but the floor was extra rickety.

ROGUE! Followfollowfollow went Rogue, cushioning the drop with her powers. Lead the way, sweety.

REMY! He looked around, stood at a wall and smirked, pointing to the pictures with the end of his staff. "Y'a'ways said y'wanted t'see me when I was lil."

ROGUE! At his smirk, Rogue smiled and creaked her way over to the pictures. She picked up one of them and just looked at it for a while. Finally, she said, "Y'all were cute... Is that Belladonna?" The blonde in the picture.

REMY! He nodded before moving on, "Henri on th'other side o'me." He looked around the corner to the stairs, but there was water half way up. He sighed heavily and came back up into the room and just sat.

ROGUE! Rogue set the picture down when Remy sat, walking over and sitting beside him. She sighed a bit, leaning forward with her arms on her knees.

REMY! "Cain't get downstairs," he said, looking at her, knees pulling up to his chest as his chin rest between them. "Iunno where they at," his lip totally might be wibbling right about now.

ROGUE! Turning to him, Rogue smiled reassuringly and let an arm slip around his lower back, hand taking its place resting on his hip. She didn't want to say anything, in case he took it wrong, or something. She wasn't known for her way with words.

REMY! He leaned into her, sniffing hard as he settled. "Iunno where they at. Iunno what I'm s'posed t'do. I ain't even s'posed t'be here."

ROGUE! She rubbed her hand up and down his side lightly, head dipping to the side to lean against his. Not really knowing what to say, she decided on, "...I'm sorry, sug."

REMY! His hand came up to rub at his face, scratching the days old stubble, "What am I doin' here?"

ROGUE! "Yer home, Remy. You're checkin' t'see what happened," she reached for his free hand with her own, fingers wrapping tight around it.

REMY! "I ain't supposed t'be here, Rogue. If I hadn't done what I did all them years back, I'd been down here, with them. I'd know where they was at, I'd be with them."

ROGUE! She squeezed his hand, "I'm glad that you did what you did, then." Because ;_; Remy.

REMY! "Everythin's gone, chere," he turned some, head tucked in her neck, as he just, really, started to cry. "Tout. Ma famile. Tout le monde."

ROGUE! Chewing at her lower lip so she didn't burst out crying with him, Rogue got her arms all the way around Remy and held him to her. "...I'm still here," she shut her eyes, hand running up and down his back.

REMY! He kissed her neck, sniffing again, sobs softening and he clung. "Je ne veux pas vous perdre."

ROGUE! Rogue doesn't understand french, honey. She buried a hand in his hair and asked softly, "English, sugah?"

REMY! He couldn't think striaght. Give him a break, "Iunever wanna lose you, Anna," he sat up so that his glassy red on black could meet her green.

ROGUE! "You won't," she promised, running her hand through his hair. "I promise. I won't ever leave you."

REMY! Good, because we don't want Remy freaking out, okay? "Je t'aime, Anna," he said quietly. "Je vous amerai a toujours." He settled into her boobs <.<, "forever." He said, definately.

ROGUE! Rogue would have rolled her eyes at the boob settling, but she was feeling bad for him. "I love you, too, Remy. With all my heart."

REMY! They were there, and he was sleepy. Built in pillows. "M'sorry f'everythin' I ever put you through."

ROGUE! "Don't be," she rubbed a hand up and down his back, pressing her
lips to his forehead. "It led us here. I wouldn't trade it."

REMY! His arms fell around her waist, squeezing, her close to him. "I hope they's safe."

ROGUE! "Me too, sweety," she nodded, rearranging her arms. "Me too."

REMY! He just lay there for a while, composing himself, and being comfortable. Before, "I wonder how much trouble we in."

ROGUE! "I don't care so long as you're okay," she said with a smile evident
in her voice.

REMY! "M'fine," he nodded into her. "Or I'll be fine. One er th'other."

ROGUE! "I know, sugah," she leaned away, wanting to look at him. "You'll be okay."

REMY! "Maybe we should go back to th'hummer."

ROGUE! "Awright," she nodded, taking his hand into hers. "I'll carry y'all."

REMY! Remy wasn't even gonna fight it this time. there was no other way
to get down. So he just stood, and assumed the position.

ROGUE! Rogue stood and took hold of him, flames rising around them before she took to the air and headed back for the hummer.

REMY! Touching down back on the express way, he took another look back. After a moment, he moved to the back of the truck, "I'ma ride m'bike for a lil bit, chere. You go on and drive. Unless you want me t'drive so you can rest a bit?"

ROGUE! "No, um, I'll drive. You can take yer bike," she followed him back to the car. "I'm not tired."

REMY! He wasn't going to argue, because, he really just needed to ride. Unhitching the bike from the back of the hummer, he looked back at the road, "We on th'wrong side," he made a faaace.

ROGUE! "That's what I'm here for, huh?" She made a face right back before bending beside the motorcycle and picking it up with one arm. Superstrength comes in handy, eh? She brought it to the other side with help from her flying, and set it down before going to get the hummer.

REMY! He sort of grinned a tthe gawkers, hopping over the median. That's my gurlfreend yall. "Merci, chere." He straddled the bike, and waited for her.

ROGUE! So much strength from such a small form. Rogue grabbed the hummer with both hands, lifted it high above her head and flew to the other side, dropping it carefully. "Anytime, sug."

REMY! Hawt. Once she was situated, he pulled his trench up a bit so that it wouldn't get caught in the wheel, eventually, probably, killing him. Because that would be bad. Anyway. Starting the sexiful Harley, he glanced back at her before he took off north on the high way. Time to go "home".

ROGUE! Rogue climbed into the hummer, took one look back at the nearly sunken city, and then started behind Remy. With an outstretched arm, she turned the radio full blast, shutting out her thoughts.
