Friday Free-For-All

[monica-catch22.livejournal.com]

TGIF, everyone!  That means today we get to play in whatever sandboxes we want, posting whatever prompts we want with no themes! 

Just remember to follow the rules: 

Only three posts per fandom, and only five total. If one of your prompts is answered, you may go ahead and post another.
No spoilers for new shows/seasons until a week after airing.
If your fill is spoilery, WARN accordingly and leave enough space for people to pass on by

Please also honor and respect our code monkeys by following the correct format: 

Inception, Eames/Arthur/Ariadne, domestic is overrated

Leverage/White Collar, Author's Choice, sometimes the best need an extra hand


And as always, please feel free to look over our lonely prompts and fill any that tickle your fancy!

X-Men, Rogue, Long black coat

Mystery (X-Men, Rogue, Long black coat)

"Darlin', you look great," Logan said as a smile crept over his face.

Rogue grinned back at him. She had been on her way out the front door of the mansion when she almost literally ran into Logan. Fortunately, it was hard to surprise him and he adroitly dodged out of the way -- without making a big deal about how he was avoiding getting into contact with her.

Rogue paused and twirled adeptly. The long, black, duster she was wearing flared out around her legs, revealing bare calves above her reddish-brown cowboy boots.

"Never seen that coat before," Logan said neutrally.

"Ah just got it yesterday, sugar! And now ah'm takin' it out for a test drive!" Rogue said eagerly.

Logan nodded soberly as Rogue brushed past him. Remy was parking his motorcycle on the driveway when he caught sight of her. He let out a loud, appreciative whistle at the sight of her. For about the millionth time in a row, Logan promised himself too beat Remy senseless if -- when -- he finally broke Rogue's heart.

Which was too bad, since Logan actually kinda like Remy. Lord knew that the crazy Cajun made any mission with him interesting as hell.

Remy and Logan locked eyes for a brief instant. The Rogue was upon Remy, and they exchanged a kiss that was as fleeting and minimal and intense as two people in love could manage.

Rogue jumped onto the the back of the motorcycle, tucking herself in behind Remy, and wrapping her arms around him. Again, the coat she was wearing fell open and displayed quite a bit of bare leg. Remy hesitated for a moment as Rogue's body pressed against his back, as if something had startled him. Then he shook it off, kicked the bike to life, and they took off with a roar.

"She's not wearing anything under her coat," Laura said quietly.

Logan glanced over his shoulder. One of the few people on the planet who could sneak up on him was standing in the doorway behind him.

"I know," Logan replied.

"Does Gambit know?" Laura asked.

"I imagine he'll find out soon enough -- if he ain't figured it out already."

Laura paused to think that over. Then she finally said, "Given her condition, I do not see the point."

Logan shrugged, "They can't directly touch -- so they do a lot of looking. And Rogue is pretty good at making that sort of thing interesting. She has to be."

Laura cocked her head at Logan, "Wouldn't a hand-job be simpler? She always wears gloves..."

Logan tried to keep a straight face, "Some things ain't about efficiency, X. They're about... mystery. Mystery can be pretty exciting."

Laura frowned slightly, "I don't understand."

"Give it time. It'll come to you."

"Can I have a coat like that?"

"Oh, hell, no!"

Laura shook her head in exasperation.
