Story List - X-Men: Evolution

When - This story is based on the X-Men: Evolution animated series. It takes place after "The Stuff of Villains" and before "Self Possessed."
Additional Characters - Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Gambit, Shadowcat
*Note - I tried to keep Gambit's accent (or lack thereof) consistent with the one he has in Evolution, so it's not as quite as strong as it is in my other stories.
**Another Note - Just for the record, I wrote this before "Cajun Spice" aired...so it was instinct alone that led me to write about Gambit watching Rogue and expressing an interest in her powers. Perhaps this is a sign that my own mutant powers are finally emerging...(ha ha)
