High punch, low kick, she goes through the program as if she's a part of the machine herself. Ignoring reality she focuses on the challenges the room makes up for her. She's tired of dealing with it, tired of dealing with him. If he wanted to talk he could damn well come and find her. If not, what did she care? She didn't need to deal with such a temper-mental…boy anyhow.

"Okay, Stripes," she hears as the program is paused without her saying so. She knows who it is, but she still can't help herself for feeling pissed off, "Time to call it quits for the night."

She ignores the man she had come to think of as a father as she once more tells the program to proceed. Its either that or she takes it all out on the person that put her here. She figures its best for everyone if she lets off steam in the Danger Room instead of in the main living room.

"I mean it, Kid," this time he stops the program all together, shutting it down completely so she doesn't have a choice. "Hit the showers before Chuck decides to come down here himself."

Rolling her eyes she does as she's told. He knows the only reason she's doing it is because he told her to do it. The girl had been hanging around him too much. Perhaps she had absorbed him one too many times, but she had developed a real problem with authority – something ole one-eye was really beginning to hate him for.

"Rogue," the sound of his voice makes her pause in her journey to the girl's locker room. "He didn't mean it ya know."

Rogue knows he means it. Logan preferred to stay out of her private life, no matter how much of a familial bond they had developed over their time at Xavier's. So for him to actually remotely bring up something was actually a bid deal.

"I know," she reluctantly replies. "But that doesn't mean it didn't happen."

She had always been stubborn. She hadn't learned that from him.


A/N: I'm calling these drabbles since none of them really go together, and I can't seem to MAKE them go together. I don't have a lot of them, but I'm still hoping you'll enjoy them. The standard disclaimers also apply. I don't own any of the characters etc of the X-Men universe. It all belongs to Marvel and those who have bought the rights from Marvel. Thanks!
