Mystique

"Hello, Mystique." Remy hissed as the villain strolled up to him.

"It's good to see you too, Remy." Mystique said as she evilly grinned at him.

"What brings you to our mansion?" Remy less than thrilled to see her.

"Aw, I thought we'd be over our issues, after all we both care so deeply about Rogue." She said, a sadistic smile on her face.

Gambit refused to acknowledge her reference to Remy's on-again off-again girlfriend, who was also her adopted daughter.

"I wanna have a little talk with you, LeBeau." Raven began as she sat down.

"About what?" Remy asked.

"About us." Raven responded, Remy rolling his eyes at her in pure annoyance at her simple answer.

"What us are you even talking about?" Remy asked, his exasperation showing.

"Don't play dumb, boy, I know your attracted to me, truth is I'm attracted to you as well." Raven said, really shocking Remy.

He had long wanted to fuck her, but he thought he had kept it hidden, he quickly realized that he was an idiot for thinking he could keep such a thing hidden from a woman as observant as her.

She was, after all, an incredibly beautiful woman, ageless thanks to her powers and with the body of a woman in her 20s.

Still, Remy was sure that she was playing a con, probably trying to get his guard down so she could attack.

"Look you and I have a lot in common, more than we'd both like to admit." She began.

Remy said nothing, knowing she was probably right.

"For instance, There are only a few precious souls on earth dumb enough to trust us, we both have almost as many knifes in our back as we've stuck in others and we've both been abandoned by my daughter." She persuaded.

"First off: I wasn't abandoned by her, it was my fault, and secondly you used her at every chance, she just got sick of your shit." Remy shot back.

"Look, you and I are in the same boat, even if you don't want to admit it." She declared.

Remy was still unconvinced, but he also knew that it would feel good to have someone in his bed, something he'd gone far too long without.

He couldn't believe it, but he was debating with himself on whether or not he should take her up on her offer.

"So, are we gonna do this or not?" She asked, already knowing the answer.

Remy thought about what this would mean for him and his relationship with Rogue.

If she ever found out it would ruin everything, not just with her, but with his standing in the X-Men, it wasn't like he was Wolverine, who could bang every supervillan on Earth and still be trusted by the team, he had to be very careful about pissing them off again.

The other side of that was that maybe Rogue didn't actually care anymore.

Apparently her love wasn't enough to keep his self loathing from taking over and her ditching him in Antarctica, something that he hated to admit that he still wasn't over.

And the on-off cycle of their relationship was as strong as ever, something that was an emotional drain on both of them.

Still, doing this with her was a huge risk, at the very least it was a risk that she could just be using this as an excuse to get his guard down enough to kill him.

He was being torn between many different thoughts, but the two that constantly came up were that he had to either jump into the unknown or keep playing it safe, something he was getting sick of.

He was so lost in thought that Mystique eventually lost her patience.

"One last time, Remy, are you gonna accept my offer?" This time she made it clear that she was done waiting.

He had to make his choice and he had to make it fast.
