Catching Fire
Disclaimer: see Prologue
The Sky is Bruised
Storm waited until Remy had gone from sight before she let the actual tears roll down her face. I should be happy for Rogue, not jealous that she now has two men eating out of the palm of her hand, Storm thought looking out the window at the rain falling down.
�How freaky is the weather today? I didn�t hear anything about rain on the forecast today,� Jean said to Scott as they walked in the door. �Hi �Ro.�
�Hello Jean, Scott,� Storm said not moving from her position in front of the window. Jean made a motion to Scott that she would see him later.
�Storm? What is it? What�s wrong?�
�What�s usually wrong?� Storm asked in response.
�Remy. What did he do this time?�
�Nothing, just�� and with that Rogue entered the room.
�Hey Jean, Storm, just a heads up, Logan�s back,� Rogue said tensely and then turned left.
�Oh,� Jean said. �Well that explains a lot. Let me guess Remy came to you for advice on what to do about Rogue, and her undying love for Logan the possessive he-wolf.�
Storm laughed, �Not fair, your telepathic.�
�Yes, but it doesn�t take a mind reader to figure that out. Between you and Rogue, a blind man could see what is going on. So what did you tell him?�
�That he should tell Rogue how he feels and give her time to make her own decisions.�
�Hmm, sounds like good advice, �Ro.�
�I know. I just like the �patiently I�ll wait for you there like a stone� approach better.�
�Huh?�
�It�s a song. It�s not important.�
�Storm, just tell him. If you wait for a man to come around, you usually end up by yourself for a very long time,� Jean smiled as Scott wandered past the door.
�Thanks Jean.�
�Anytime.�
*****
Storm paced around her room wondering if this was the right thing to do. I shouldn�t. But have to. I have to at least let him know that someone else is interested in him. She scribbled down the note, noticed that her clock said it was 4:30, and hoped that Remy wasn�t already in his room getting ready for tonight.

Changing the channel for the 15th million time, Remy looked at his watch wondering if this day would take absolutely forever. The time said five o clock and since his date was at seven, he figured he could start getting ready now. Remy knew that he was a bit superficial, but he wanted to look good for his first date with Rogue. Even if she has no interest in Remy what so ever, he thought climbing the stairs. Gambit walked into his room to get ready for his date with Rogue and found a note lying on the floor.
Dear Remy,
Need to talk to you.
Come find me when you get back from your date.
~Storm
