Next-X History:
Since he had always faded in and out of the team when he felt like it Gambit's life after the ending of the X-men was very similar to before. The only part he regretted was not telling Rogue how he truly felt before she left. It would be more than three years later before he would see her again Somewhere in this time period he met and had a brief relationship with Alexandra DeVeaux, a New Orleans local, and the mother of Cheyanne (Kayo) though Remy would not be aware of this for some time. Without the added escape of being an X-man he was also forced to truly assume leadership of the Thieves Guild. He worked to try and resolve the feud between them and the Assassin's Guild and has at least partially succeeded. And uneasy but so far stable peace exists between them at this time.
One day as he was walking through New Orleans he heard a voice, "Hey Sugah. Did you miss me?" He turned around and before he could say another word Rogue grabbed him by the shoulders and kissed him full on the lips. Shocked that he wasn't unconscious but happy he gladly returned the kiss. It was evident that Rogue had learned to control her abilities and as they talked she told him her real name, Marie. Later that year he proposes to her and they are soon married. They set up Magnificat Security and settle down in a beautiful plantation home outside of New Orleans. They eventually have two children together Jeanette (Kismet) and Cody (Trump).
