Hey everyone! I'm back with another X-men: Evolution fic. This is focused on Rogue, and the 7 deadly sins. Luxuria (Lust), Gula (Gluttony), Avaritia (Greed), Acedia (Sloth), Ira (Wrath), Invidia (Envy), and Superbia (Pride). Rated T for language.
Disclaimer: I still don't own X-men: Evolution.
NOTE: May contain extreme OOC. Think of it as, the extreme aspect of the sin.
Superbia
I'm a fighter, a ROGUE.
So what, I take pride in the way I fight. They need to stop complaining about the lack of me using my power in the Danger Room. It's not like it would be such a good idea. That's beside the point; the point is I can fight. I can beat any of their sorry asses, no problem. They should stop relying solely on their powers. What will happen when they can't use their powers? You know what will happen? I'll still be fighting, because I can.
I'm good at it, always have been. Fighting is as simple as breathing for me. I've been trained in different styles for a long time. I've doing it longer than any other these stupid idiots. I don't have to touch these low lives. I don't have to stoop down to their level and torture myself when I get mentally raped. I don't have to use my powers to win in the Danger Room. I can survive just being me. I don't have to sully my skin to touch these people.
When I fight, the metaphorical gloves come off. I can take off my real ones, but I can fight without my power. I can utilize my entire body to destroy any opponent. The others can only wish to have half of my skills. They have to use their abilities constantly to win when we spar and run battle simulations in the Danger Room. Kitty has to phase to dodge kicks, punches, and everything else. Jean creates force fields to dodge projectiles, unless she was able to stop them in mid air. Kurt has to teleport away from everything. Scott can be decent when fighting, but he relies on blasting things away from him with his optical blast. It is ridiculous.
They need to stop focusing on solely their powers and fight.
So what if I can't touch the skin of someone else, I'm good at what I can do.
And what I do is fight.
Ugh, I'm not sure if this turned out okay. Please review! I would really appreciate the feedback.
As I said at the beginning, it is like an extreme focus of the sin. And since this one is pride, I thought Rogue would pride herself on her fighting ability. These can be read as together, but it may make more sense to view them as separate.
