It was the middle of summer. Most students had either taken a trip home or to the beach with Jean, Scott and Kitty. Those subtractions made, that left pretty much Ororo, Evan, Hank, Logan and Xavier. Xavier had meetings to attend in Brazil; being the honored guest, he took plenty of speeches with him. Hank went with him, wanting to see the sights but also serving as a body guard, if--and only if--needed. However, a day later Logan, Evan and Ororo got word of a mutant threat in Germany. They'd left, but Evan had asked Rogue if she'd like to come along or if he should stay.
"Naw, Ah'll be fine. Y'all go have fun. Besides, Ah like havin' the mansion ta mahself. Don't come back for a while, 'kay?" Evan grinned at her, and she smiled back.
"You sure 'bout this, Stripes? We don't mind another tagalong."
"Hey!" Evan cried indignantly.
"It's okay, Logan. With mah powahs Ah'd only get in the way."
"We don't like leavin' ya at home..."
"Just go, Logan. Ah'm fine. No students, no adults, just meh. Ah get alone time and Ah can dress howevah Ah want."
After they left, Rogue walked up to her room with a triumphant smirk on her face. She grabbed her stereo, went downstairs, cranked up Linkin Park and went about making a milkshake. She never would have gotten away with this if the others had been here.
A grin spread across her features as she poured the chocolate milkshake into a glass. Free at last, free at last, thank Gawd Almaghty, Ah'm free at last!
