Based on a memorably bad bit of apparent canon that had *everyone* shaking their heads with bemusement, this is one of the funniest X-Men Comicverse stories ever.

"One more t'ing chere. Wit' your powers negated, it means dis may be our night. Our first. Our last."

The two star crossed lovers held each other tenderly for long, precious moments, just savouring the chance to be close to each other. A brief interlude of peace and love, during their terrifying ordeal and cruel captivity. And then -

"Remy - are you saying you wanna have sex in a cave?"

"Non!"

"Oh good. Cos for a moment there I -"

Don't t'ink of it as a cave, chere... T'ink of it as a - Love Grotto."

You Did What In A Cave?

Okay, so maybe I'm just an old dino, but I am so very much enjoying you pulling out long-ago classics and giving them a new airing. With Poi it's either make'em cry with laughter or just make'em cry. I haven't reread this one in a while, so thanks.

So.

I am a dino.

And the fact that I spent most of the mid 90's going on at lenght about how Rogue/Remy was a terrible pairing?

Was so justified by this.

In a cave. With an ex girlfriend. An a dinosaur.

Oh, taking me back to the day. Wow! Am I that old?

I used to be Onyx (Death of a Dream, Resurrection Gauntlet), but now I'm Nyxie. It's good to see you still around, Alara.
