Rogue wished that she had known Steve at a happier time in her life, when things were actually a little easier. It was hard to say whether that would have affected how she saw him though, as changed as she often was by experiences and the people she absorbed. Perhaps he wouldn't have liked the person she'd been back...
She was grinning like a love-struck idiot when she heard that oh, crap. The smile was wiped away in exchange for a frown as she looked up at Steve, waiting for a clue as to what had caused such a reaction in him. Whatever it was, it didn't have him panicking or readying for a fight, so it couldn't be all that bad.
The sight of the red-haired woman walking toward them with purpose was an anvil-shaped clue. A who then, not a what. A person who, if Rogue remembered correctly, was at the Battle with him. That shade of red was pretty unmistakable. Once she knew that, well, it was easy to put the pieces together. Either something had come up that needed Steve's attention, or someone wanted information - likely on her. Why else would someone Steve knew suddenly show up out of nowhere the first time they were out doing something together, and t after leaving Stark Tower?
Steve stopped them and Rogue gave one last glance up at him before turning her attention to the other woman, offering a larger smile than she was given when the question was posed. Might as well just jump into the deep end.
Holding out her free right hand and giving Steve's arm a little squeeze with her left, she offered a bright, "Marie LeBeau. I'm Steve's girlfriend. It's lovely to meet you." The word wasn't entirely accurate to what they were, but she didn't have a better one. Hopefully Steve took it reasonably well.
