X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

ROMY! Okay, so there was a lot more to it than just that… but ROMY!

So, yeah, Rogue basically told Gambit in a round about way that she loves him… but there are several kinds of love out there and we know that she will always consider him her best friend so… yeah… I’m with Gambit, how rude of people to come and try to kill them when they are having a moment.

And Gambit, you are sssooooo lucky to be breathing after that little ‘I thought I was still dreaming… thought this would play out differently’ comment. You kinky, naughty boy…

As for Joelle, she’s apparently older than she looks, has some kind of weird death wish, and has complicated feelings for Gambit. Obviously she felt hurt when Gambit was able to just click with Rogue and also helped her fight… but then I’m kinda on Joelle side there cause he did just (probably) sleep with Joelle… even if Rogue is his one true love… that’s harsh man…

I do like that Asmus managed to get a cat-fight in but make it believable and not reducing to literally that, a bitchy cat-fight. Rogue’s personality is much better here than in Uncanny Avengers and you can tell she’s worried for her friend but not the stereotypical jealous ex type (though could have gone without Asmus actually having her say “Ah hate feeln’ like this. Like some kinda naggin’ caricature of a ex-girlfriend.” because if a character has to say that…).

Overall, the Romy in me very pleased, this is the kind of stuff that can help bridge that gap and bring these two back together in the future.

As a reader of this title… yeah, things just got a little more interesting…

p.s. Can we get Asmus put on Uncanny Avengers instead of Remender? Please? Pretty Please?
