-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Midnight at the Xavier's Institute there was only one person she woke up in pain. She didn't see anyone in the room with her she got up she saw no needles in her arms. It took her twenty minutes to walk up to the front doors it was a clear night. Mary looked down at herself she was dressed in her black tight tank-top and summer camos it was cool tonight. She walked back inside to her bed in the med lab 'No matter what I have to tell them' with that she went back to sleep. Later the next day everyone but Mary was outside playing games and having a BBQ. Logan didn't with everyone he grabbed a few things then went to the med lab there he saw Kurt trying to feed her. "Damn it Kurt would ya quit it already I'm able ta feed myself" Logan laughed "Leave us elf." Kurt waved at him then teleported out of the room Logan went to her side "Hey kid you feeling alright?" "Expect for him tryin ta feed me like a baby. Why ya down here I heard ya all havin a BBQ and games don't let me keep ya?" Logan saw her look unhappy "Look kid I wanted to give you some company unless you want the cajun?" he saw the smirk forming "He still grounded isn't he?" Her smirk got bigger "Yup it's only been a week and he's already beggin ta flirt I told him no." He laughed Gambit was outside depressed he couldn't flirt with Mary for two months. "How'd you get him to leave you alone?" "I told him if he didn't do the two months without buggin I'll make it four. He ran right out of here sayin somethin in French I couldn't understand but I bet he was swearin." He smiled again he saw her look at his tray "Brought some BBQ boneless rins thought you would want some." He put it in front of her right when she was going to take a bite she remembered she had to tell the truth sooner or later.

"Logan there's somethin ya have to know I mean I'm ready to talk about when I was born to five years old." He was chewing when she said that he swallowed then looked at her seriously "What is it kid?" She wasn't fully sure if she should but Logan was the only one that cared like a father. "Logan promise you won't be mad at me or freak for not sayin this sooner?" he nodded she sighed he didn't like the sound of it. "Logan what ya see isn't really me" she waited to make sure he was listening "What are you talking about?" She sat up in the bed then lowered her head "I'm not really here that's what I mean what ya see is my imagination a copy of myself on how I want ta look like." He looked at her to see if she was serious she looked him in the eye with "This isn't a joke I'm tellin the truth." He stood up he backed up when she got out of bed "Logan ya have ta believe me look no mg's watch this." He watched as her tank-top and shorts turned into a long sleeve shirt and baggy pants "How did you do that?" "I'm my imagination in this world please believe me." She took one step towards him he ran from her it hurt her more then she thought 'He's like a father to me I wanted him ta be the first ta know Logan I'm sorry I'm so sorry' she disappeared then reappeared in her room. She went outside to confess everything to everyone when she found them they were playing baseball Gambit was at bat he swung the ball was flying towards her. Mary wasn't paying attention Lance saw it was heading for her they could she has not wearing her mg's "Mary look out!"

She looked up just in time she stopped the ball by putting her hand up she threw it back to them. She was walking towards them because the Professor was sitting with Storm they stopped playing and watched her. "Professor I have somethin ta tell ya and everyone else too" he looked at her "Yes you don't have you mg's on." "I lied I never needed them they're just fashion I'll show ya" she turned her eyes into Gambit's then made a card appear charge it then tossed it into the air. No explosion just smoke her eyes turned back "See no mg's they're not real and so ain't I. What ya see in my imagination I'm not from this world I wanted ya ta know the truth before it got deeper." Everyone couldn't believe what they heard nor saw Gambit on the other hand walked up behind her. "Chere you hit your head during the fight with...." "I didn't hit my head what I say is the truth" she turned to face him he was grinning at her. "Mary you can't be from another world or someone's imagination" she walked away then turned to face them all. "Hope this don't hurt me?" she closed her eyes then everyone saw something forming infront of them. They could see a girl the same age as Mary sleeping they looked the same Gambit went forward alittle. He looked at her then to Mary they were the same he went back they all heard someone calling. "Mary dinner's ready" they saw the girls eyes they were Mary's color she vanished Mary fall to her knees. Logan went to her side she was pale and shaking "Kid who was that and why did she look like you?" She stood up "That was me in my world here I can be anything I want. There I can't be anything I want just myself with a huge imagination." She collapsed Logan caught her she was cold again but this time shaking "Hank help me over here would you?" Hank looked her over her engery was drained "She's weak all of her engery is gone" Gambit went to her he moved his hand to her butt before he could touch her. He went backwards "Not all of it Hank" everyone laughed "Try that again and I'll use my imagination ta make a woman." Gambit smiled none the less "Just making sure you're still you chere" "Ha ha ha very funny swamp rat."

The next day Mary was sitting next to her window looking out it was raining. Everyone acted like what Mary told them didn't happen but the Professor has been asking questions if she remembered anything of her time there. When lunch came Mary didn't leave her room Kitty was knocking on her door "Mary it's lunch time." She didn't answer then Kurt, Jean, Scott and Rogue all tried to make her come out to eat. None of them could make her come out an hour after lunch Logan was knocking on her door "Kid I have to talk to you." She didn't answer "If you don't let me in I'll have the cajun here in a heart beat he's dying to get to you." Still no answer he didn't want to use his claws but he needed to get her to eat he was about to swing his claws at her door. When someone grabbed his wrist "I wouldn't do that if I were you it'll take hours to get through that." He turned to see her she was sad and still pale "Kid you have to eat Hank said you need food for engery." He held the plate for food for her to take "Who cooked?" "Gumbo did he's trying to impress you." Mary shook her head "Why can't any of ya accept the fact I'm not the real me" "Kid we care about you so you're real to us." Mary took the plate Kitty, Kurt, Jean, Scott, Rogue and Gambit all watched her in concern. "I don't think she minded that fact you cooked Gambit" "Gambit hope so too mon ami" she took a bite. She handed the plate back to Logan she ran to the kitchen they all followed her she was swallowing a glasses of water. "You ok kid?" she looked over at them her expression changed when she saw Gambit "Ya tryin ta kill me?" "What do you mean chere?" "That" pointing to the plate Logan had "What the hell was that?" He went to look at the plate "That is one of Gambit special dishes he made it just for you" "It's spicy I don't like spicy foods." He frowned then he was mad "Gambit didn't know that chere maybe if you talk toGambit he know you better."

Mary was shocked he was yelling at her they all were shocked "I don't have to talk to ya just so you can know me ask everyone else." She went back to her room Gambit ran to her before she didn't hear it close she turned to see him closing it. "What are ya doin get out of my room now?" he shook his head "Not going to do that Mary not until he knows you." Mary looked at him thinking what to do he went for her she got away from him "Stay away from me Gambit I'm warnin ya." "You can't hurt Gambit you too weak to use your power" he was right she didn't eat nor slept to get her engery back. He almost had her "I don't want ya ta touch me now leave me alone" he was losing his patience he spotted her coat. He charged her trenchcoat up "If you don't came here right next to Gambit he going to blow up your coat." She looked at him he was serious she walked over to him poutingonce she was in arm reach he uncharged her coat then grabbed her arms. "Happy?" she was looking at him he didn't smile he pulled her with him to sit on his lap when he sat on her bed. "Let me go" "Not until you answer Gambit's questions" she didn't look at him she hated the fact she had to sit on his lap she crossed her arms. He wrapped his arms around her waist "Now what is your favorite food?" she didn't answer she felt something warm on her hips that went to her knees. She looked down to see he was charging her shorts "What the hell are ya doin uncharge them now" The color was growing dark red "Gambit I'm serious uncharge them now" "Answer the question" she looked at him he was dead serious. "I don't really have a favorite I like alot of things" "Like what?" she looked at him again the warmth from her short got hot "Pizza, chinese food and cheeseburgers those kind." He took some of the charge away "What are your favorite colors?" "I'm not gonna tell ya that" he recharged her shorts again "Damn it Gambit stop that" "Answer me" "Red, black and white."

He smiled at that one "Red and black just like Gambit's eyes?" "No your eyes are gonna be black and blue if ya don't take the charge away and let go of me." "What kind of music do you like?" "Why the hell are ya askin me these questions ya could of asked someone else?" "Because Gambit want to hear them from you now answer his question." "Techno, hip hop and rock" "Where would you like to live?" "Why do I even bother Japan" "Have you had any boyfriends?" she tried to get out of his grip he held her tighter "Answer chere." "The hell I will ya askin too many questions that I wouldn't answer if my life depended on it now let go." "If Gambit do you would have to take your shorts off quickly on second thought Gambit like the sound of that." Mary turned on his lap and punched him in the face his grip on her shorts was gone she jumped off of him she was on the other side of her bed. He recovered from her punch to see her throw her shorts in the air after the explosion she stood up with another pair on he went towards her "Don't come near me blownin up my shorts is one way ta get killed." He smiled "If you didn't notice Gambit is a dangerous mutant you don't want to mess with." "If you don't notice I'm gonna kill ya if ya do that again" "Gambit wouldn't of if you didn't punch him in the face." "I punched ya because ya were usin ya advantage over me ta get me ta answer somethin I don't know the answer to." He looked at her surprised "You don't know if you had any boyfriends?" "Not when my mind is here I don't, I don't know what's goin on there." He went over to her he was going to put his arms around her when she backed up "Gambit won't charge your shorts again he promise." She looked at him 'If you value your life you won't' look he hugged her "Do you miss your home?" "No not really if I could I would really be here or somewhere else."

Gambit held her to him "Gambit would like to taste your cooking everyone says it's the best they ever had." Mary smiled he didn't see it "They said you created a desert that was called Heaven's Bliss" "Heaven's Kiss" he looked at her he put his hand under her chin to lifted it. So her eyes could look into his "Can Gambit have some of Heaven's Kiss?" her eyebrows narrowed confused. When he moved closer to her she knew what he meant she pushed him away from her "It ain't that kind of kiss swamp rat." Gambit went to her she was backing up into a corner and he knew it "Gambit very interested in a kiss from you chere." Mary had to think of something anything to get him away from her she got an idea "You asked me questions now you answer mine." He stopped "You want to know Gambit then ask chere he tell you anything you want to know." "Ok why did you leave ya home?" his cocky grin faded she raised her left eyebrow "You ain't gonna answer are ya?" He walked to her door she got him to run with one question "Yea I answered yours why can't you answer mine uh?" He stopped for a second then slammed her door she was smiling then she frowned "Damn it I finally get him ta leave now I have ta apologize." She opened her door to see him staring at her with the same cocky grin "Gambit knew you were going to come after him to make up." She rolled her eyes "In ya dreams I only wanted ta say if ya don't answer my questions then I ain't answerin yours got it." She shut the door before he could answer Gambit put his hand on her door where her name plate was "Why do you play so hard to get chere?"

Mary woke up at 4 am for a danger session Logan listed for her and others she didn't know who of course. She met up with Kitty "You too uh?" "I like can't believe we have to like to this so early. But at least we like have a partner" Mary looked at her for a moment "He's givin us partnersIhope you're my partnerKit." They laughed saying who would be the worst partner theygot there first Logan was even impressed "So half-pint can be early?" "Only when I'm with her so what's this partner thing about?" "Wait til the other two get here" Kitty and Mary picked back up to the worst partner. "God I hope I like don't get stuck with Kurt" "Why I think you and Kurt would be a good team" "Like how do you figure?" "Well think he can teleport and you can phase think of all the guys ya knock out. But don't try any of that on me because I'll be waitin for it." "Oh ok well I think you and like Gambit would be perfect partners" "If I wanted ta lose my lunch yea he's too cocky for his own good. I mean he thinks he is a god with all the women that fall for him I don't see what is so perfect about him." Logan laughed at that 'She has no idea she'll hate me for this' "Come on Mary you and Gambit are the only like thiefs I know so like date him or become friends." Mary crossed her arms trying to figure out why Logan laughed but looked at Kitty "Is ya ponytail on tight cause I thought I heard ya say date and friend in the same sentence with Gambit." "I did give him a chance Mary he like totally deserves one" Mary rubbed the back of her neck "I'll think about it now why were you laughin?" They faced Logan his smile disappeared "You're partners are here finally" they turned to see Kurt and Gambit Mary figured it out in a second. "No way in hell am I gonna have him as my partner I no sooner die" "Too bad kid half-pint and elf are partners they need to work on team skills you and gumbo are good together already." Mary chringed when Gambit put his arm over her shoulder "Look like Gambit and mon ami are parnters non?" "Ya ain't gonna be livin for long if ya don't remove ya arm."

Kitty and Kurt were laughing at him everyone got use it the idea of her giving him death threats Logan was happy he didn't have to do it. Gambit slowly backed away from her held his hands up in defence "Sorry mon ami Gambit happy we partners" Mary raised her left eyebrow. "Mon ami I thought it was chere?" "Mon ami is my friend you are Gambit's friend now so deal with it" he walked into the danger room they looked at her her bangs were covering her eyes. "Mary are you like ok?" "I'm so happy he stopped calling you chere" "Kid you're happy right?" Mary turned to look at Gambit's back "I don't like this feelin I think I was better off with him callin me chere" they all went into the danger room Logan had them stand next to each other. Gambit didn't look at her Mary didn't like it he wasn't hitting on her and it felt wrong that he didn't 'I got use to it already maybe we can be friends now?' "You will use your skills not powers Hank said kid's too weak to use them" Mary looked at him "Wanna bet?" He looked at her the look she was giving him meant 'don't push your luck or it'll cost you' "Ok Gambit make sure you aid her in anyway you can. Half-pint and elf you better watch yourselves Mary's smarter then you both." Mary smirked at that the session was to defeat your opponent without hurting them too much Logan pointed out. They also had to get a certain item that was guarded well as the institute Gambit didn't say a word the whole session. Mary and Gambit defeated Kitty and Kurt Mary apologized for hitting her "I'll make it up to ya Kit" Mary watched Gambit fighting Kurt he had trouble for a few minutes. When Kurt was out cold he saw her sitting on a ledge waiting "Ready for the item?" he didn't answer she didn't even see his eye glow when she gave him the smirk he liked from her.

She frowned 'I don't get it he always says somethin cocky when I do that I really don't like this feelin' they got to the target Gambit exammed the area it was lasers. The floor was motion senstive you only got a few seconds before the alarm went off Gambit was thinking he was too big for the lasers. "How to get in?" she heard him she took her trenchcoat off then put her bandana on "I can't believe he made this easy I'll have to get Logan to upgrade it for sure." Gambit turned to look at her he was going to say something mean she could tell "Don't say a word I'm thinkin." He was now mad before he could move towards her she ran for the lasers he tried to stop her but he noticed she was flexible. He watched her dodge the lasers with ease 'Damn she good too bad Gambit playing hard to get now' she was very light on her feet no more then a second on one spot. She was near the item when something hit her luckily she was in a safe spot to stand she looked towards Gambit he was staring at her. 'What hit me he didn't do anythin so what?" she was cut short on her thoughts when something hit her again but harder. She saw Magneto "What are you doin here Magneto?" "Logan asked me to help in this session you and Gambit are working together I hope?" She looked at him over her shoulder she whispered to Magneto so Gambit couldn't hear "He's not callin me chere anymore I have a bed feelin when he called me mon ami." "Yes I see your problem well if it makes you feel any better I'll hurt him more then usual" "Temptin but no need to I'll find out what's wrong." He smiled at her "What?" "You're letting his charm work on you and here I thought you were the only one to fight it." He laughed Gambit was wondering why he was laughing at Mary she growled "Why you take that back right now it ain't workin." He kept laughing Mary's fist were turning white "That's it!" used Havok's power to blast him into the wall then got the item. The session was over Magneto was shocked she did that he watched her storm out of the danger room Logan was there "What did you say to make her mad." "Did you know Gambit's not flirting with her?" Logan crossed his arms and nodded his head "Yup it's disturbing her she thinks it a bad thing."

Gambit was in the kitchen Kurt was yelling at him "Vhy did you have to hit me so hard?" Kitty was laughing "Oh come on Kurt he like didn't mean it. Mary said she was sorry and like totally going to make it like up to me." "Easy for you to say he's the one that knocked me out hard" Kurt felt a pair of arms wrap around his shoulders. "Oh did my little fuzzy get hurt I'll make it all better" she kissed him on the cheek Gambit spit out his sip of soda seeing Mary kissed Kurt. "How bout I take you out too bro" Kurt smiled "Ok sis vhere you going to take us?" she thought about it for a minute. "Don't know maybe the new club that openedfour monthsago I got connections" Kurt and Kitty both jumped for joy "Ok then it's settle be ready by seven tonight." They went up stairs to pick out the outfits they were going to wear and get ready for school Mary grabbed a banana she peeled it when she noticed Gambit. "Why all quiet figured ya ta be flirtin with a girl somewhere" "You and petite the only ones up." "Oh well later" "Why did you kiss him?" she stopped by the door "Excuse me?" "Why did you kiss blue boy?" She looked at him confused then she guessed why he asked that "Because someone was rough with him and I thought I could cheer him up by offerin him a chance at a club." Gambit walked to her he pinned her to the wall "Gambit asked you time after time to give him a kiss but you give him one." "Don't be so jealous he's like alittle brother it was on his cheek. You're the one that hurt him so I apologized for ya be happy he won't hold a grudge now." Gambit tightened his grip on her upper arms "Ow Gambit let go it's startin ta hurt" she saw his eyes glow "Not until you give Gambit one mon ami." Mary looked him in the eyes "Get the hell off of me right now mon ami" she mocked him yet he was forgetting why he was calling her mon ami instead of chere. He backed away from her "See you at school mon ami" she stayed there she couldn't believe she wanted to kiss him. 'Damn you Gambit once I find out why ya ain't callin me chere I'm gonna hurt you so bad ya wish Logan will kill you' she went ot her room school was in two hours. Kitty and Kurt were waiting to find out who was giving rides "Hey guys why the faces?" "Ve don't know vho vill give us a ride" "Like yea I mean they can't all be like mean." "I can drive Scott's let me go ask" "Wait he'll like let you drive his car?" "Yea I mean it's not like he's usin it lately." "Gambit give you a ride petite" they saw Gambit dressed as usual Kitty shook her head "That's like ok I can get a ride from Mary" "You wound Gambit petite."

Kurt growled "Easy blue boy Gambit won't steal your girl maybe he will" Mary had to grab Kurt's tail in order to keep him from attacking Gambit. "So you do care mon ami?" "I care for him not you Kurt get on my cycle I'll drive" Gambit's grin turned into a scowl. "Are you sure sis I don't vhat to be a burden?" "Kurt get on or ya have ta use ya power" he jumped on the back of her motorcycle before she took off. "You like jealous she spends more time with him like don't you?" Gambit didn't answer he followed them to school he entered the classroom he shared with her. She was reading a note she was given "Where'd you get that mon ami?" "None of ya business cajun" he frowned "Why are you not calling Gambit swamp rat?" "Maybe the same reason ya callin me mon ami." He went to his sit the teacher walked in "Settle down class we have a new student today treat him well." The guy walked in he kind of looked like Gambit the girls all made the noise they did for when Gambit first walked in Mary looked up she knew who it was. He looked at her "Well if it isn't my dear friend Mary how have you been sweetie?" he sat next to her Gambit's eyed glowed. "What are ya doin here Seth and don't call me sweetie I have a right mind ta throw ya butt in jail." He put his arm around her the teacher was looking "She's an old friend I haven't seen her in years." He turned around once he wasn't looking she grabbed his wrist and twisited it "Don't touch me ya disgustin jerk I don't like ta be touched." She let go then returned to reading "Still so feisty I love that" she ignored him for the rest of the class. Lunch came fast she was sitting with Kitty and Kurt "Like who's the new guy he's cute?" "Stay away from him!" they looked at her. "Something vrong sis?" "Just stay away from him I mean it'll be safer if ya did" Gambit was standing infront of them. "Who is your friend mon ami?" she snapped which scared them "He ain't my friend if you ever call him that again I swear I'll take those cards and shove them up ya ass after I charge them!" Kitty and Kurt backed away from her Gambit could tell she knew him "What he do to you?" She shook her head "None of ya business just don't go near him and ask questions he won't answer honestly." She grabbed her things then left "I like think he did something like totally bad to her." "Me too do you think ve should tell the Professor about him and her out burst?" Gambit's eyes followed her "If he proves to be a problem then yes."

The day ended with Mary running to her motorcycle Kurt was there waiting "Get on quick." Before he could ask the new guy showed up "Hey you not going to show a friend around?" "No so buzy off Seth I ain't got time for ya lame ass" she started her cycle Kurt held on when they sped out off the grounds. Mary didn't feel safe until she was inside the mansion "Mary vhat's vrong vith you I was scared I vas going to fall off." "I'm sorry Kurt I didn't want ta waste time there besides the club is in six hours do whatever ya need to now." She ran to her room 'I don't think I can take them to the club tonight I know I'll get Wanda and Rogue to do it. No that won't be good I'll have ta to it maybe I should ask him to come as well?' After dinner Kurt and Kitty were waiting for Mary to come down stairs she was outside Gambit's door 'Here goes nothin.' She knocked on his door he opened it he was only wearing sweats "What do you want?" her heart pumped faster "I was wonderin if ya could join us?" He raise an eyebrow "Why would you ask Gambit that?" "Because I thought I could use some help with them incase a guy hits on Kit without me knowin." He crossed his arms she sighed "Alright I want ya ta come happy?" he was surprised he didn't push it though "Gambit be ready in five minutes." She went down stairs 'Good he thinks I want him to come he's only gonna be there so Seth stays away from me.' Mary told them that Gambit was comng they were waiting in one of the X-cars she picked it out so no one would think it belonged to the institute. "I always liked you taste sis" "Yea like I didn't even know you like picked this one out." Gambit saw Kurt sitting in the front with Mary so he sat behind her "What were you all talking about before Gambit got here?" "Ve vere saying sis has great taste in cars" "She like totally picked this one." Gambit didn't like cars much but the one he was in was stylish "You picked this one mon ami Gambit impressed?" "Thanks for ya approvel ready ta go?" they all cheered they where shocked to see so few people.
