Author's notes:Â I just can't seem to resist the call of the new X-men cartoon even though it was cancelled after only one season, so here's another fic in this verse! I like that Rogue and Gambit never met on the show, it keeps so many possibilities open. For those unfamiliar with the 'toon, I've taken the liberty of keeping things easy to follow and slightly AU.
A few notes: The MRD stands for the Mutant Registration Departmentâa government run program for capturing and detaining mutants, claiming it's necessary to register and imprison mutants for public safetyâalthough they seem to have mutants that work for them. They are the show's main antagonist. S.H.I.E.L.D. is like a secret ops program that enlists all types of people or mutants with special abilities, running its own secretive agenda, mainly for the good of everyone regardless of the ruthless methods used at times. Sometimes they are protagonists, sometimes they are not. I did not want to bring the mojoverse into this fic, but to keep canon with the series, it is briefly addressed.
As always, I use minimal accents, I truly believe your imaginations are far better than all my misspelled words and apostrophes.
I recommend this because first there are only 42 Romy fics (on Fanfiction.net) pairing Rogue and Gambit in the Wolverine & the X-Men universe, most of them are one shots so If someone asked me I definitively  would list this fic in the Must read ones in said Universe.
This fic gets me thrilled with all the action and all the adventures they have, you get the opportunity to read some characters on the X-Men Universe a little bit forgotten.
