AN: Hey! This is my first try of writing a X-Men Movie fic although I really love fanfictions about it! I also love RYRO! This is a Rogue/Pyro fanfic by the way. Also, I just like to point out. In my story, the Professor is still alive but Jean isn't. She is really dead and Scott is still alive mourning over her.
She just left. It was as simple as that. The others thought she was getting the 'cure' and only one out of the many friends knew how much she hated that horrid little thing. She hated it more than anyone! More than the professor, Logan, Bobby and even Storm she hated it more than them. When she saw it on the news the other day and when everyone saw her reaction, going straight up to the professor and asked 'Is it true?' They immediately got the impression that lil Roguey would want to try a sample. Although, lil Roguey despised it, nearly as much as Magneto! How could those stupid homosapiens think that they could just return us back into useless humans? God, she had too much of Erik in her brain she was even starting to think like him. Although… he did have a good point, Rogue had to admit, she did hate that the humans did that. Rogue wondered about what she was going to do with her life. Should she help the X-Men with the battle against the brotherhood? Or should she just leave 'em? She then headed to the cure facility. Rogue was definitely shocked. She didn't expect so many people wanting to get the cure! She scowled at the line; her hostility evident.
"Oh, look whose here, never expected Miss Rogue to be here to get the cure," She heard a voice dripping with sarcasm. She answered without even looking towards the voice.
"Oh, look whose here, Ah actually DID expect St. John to be here and burn down this place," Rogue said as she turned around and looked at Pyro with hatred. John scowled at her. His blackish-brown hair was gone; it was now a yellowy-reddish colour that matched flames. Rogue would never admit it but John actually looked pretty hot.
"Never call me St. John, NEVER!" John yelled at her. She looked unfazed at his outburst and continued to glare at him.
"So, Johnny-boy. What are yah doing 'ere? Are yah really gonna burn down this place?" Rogue asked raising her eyebrow.
"Why should I tell you?" John asked, glaring back at her.
"Cos, Ah bet Ah'm 'ere for the sahme reason," Rogue said, her accent more prominent because she was getting angry.
"And what reason would that be?" John asked crossing his arms in front of her. She smirked.
"To exterminate the cure," she said. John looked bewildered.
"What?" He said shocked.
"You're like the others. You think that Ah'd automatically go straight up for the cure. You're wrong John, Ah need to show you something," Rogue said pulling his arm and bringing him into the woods. John stumbled a bit,
"What the hell are you doing?! Where are you taking me and never call me John! The name's Pyro," 'Pyro' said. Rogue snorted a bit. John glared at her.
"Look," she said as she took of her gloves and pressed her arm against his bare skin. Pyro looked shocked.
"You fucking bitch! You took the damn cure already and turned into this fucking homosapien! Damn it! Why the hell did you bring me out into these damn woods?!" John yelled at her. Rogue still remained calm.
"Ya idiot! Ah never took the cure, Ah just got in control of my powers!" Rogue said.
"Really?" John asked bewildered.
"Yah and besides, that wasn't what Ah wanted to show you," Rogue said, she reached into her pocket and grabbed her one and only Zippo.
"What?! Why do you have a Zippo?" John asked. Rogue didn't answer, she opened it and then she started to control the fire. She made it into a little dog and dropped the Zippo and made the flame bigger. She then changed the dog into a hawk and started to make it fly, gliding it all around them. John looked gob smacked. "H-how?" He asked. Rogue smirked. She then changed the flames into writing. 'When I absorbed you, I got to keep the powers forever!' The words said. "How?" John said again. Rogue put her hands into a tight fist and the fire disappeared.
"Well… about 3 or 4 months ago, Ah was going to Mississippi and Ah was on a train. Ah sat next to a person named Carol. Carol Danvers. We talked a lot and then after a sentence, she accidently blew it. She told me she got shot by a bullet a couple of times and it just bounced off of her, that's how she blew it by telling me her powers. Ah then told her mine and she agreed that mine was the crappiest power ever. She then said that she could help and before Ah could do anything, she grabbed my arm and made me absorb her fully. Ah kept absorbing her till she was dead. She then helped me with my powers so Ah could get in control of them. She then taught me how to use other powers – like yours – and that's how Ah became strong. Well I think Ah'm strong anyway," Rogue said. John just stared at her. He then broke the silence.
"Which people do you have?" He asked.
"Ah have yours, Carol, Bobby," Rogue didn't notice John's scowl when she said Bobby's name, "Erik, Logan, Jean (AN: Pretend she has Jean) and Cody," she smiled when she said Cody's name. The smile didn't go unnoticed. John's eyes narrowed.
"Who's Cody?" He asked. Rogue's smiled disappeared and she looked down. John saw tears drip down her face.
"Mah first boyfriend. We were in love and we kissed, many, many times until one day when we kissed, Ah put him into a coma and he never resurfaced, to what Ah know," Rogue wiped away the tears. John's face held sympathy and as soon as the sympathy came, it disappeared.
"So… how's your boyfriend; fuckin' him yet? Glad you can actually touch?" John asked; the bitterness evident. Rogue started to get angry.
"Ah'm not fucking anyone! Bobby is just a useless man whore! Ya think he would care at least a little shit about me… well he doesn't! Damn him and Kitty; damn them all ta hell!" Rogue growled. John looked taken back.
"Wait… what?" John asked.
"No-one in the mansion – besides Jubes – knows that Ah have more than my own power let alone that Ah can actually touch people. Ah only told Jubilee because Ah knew that Ah can trust her and because she is my best friend. Ah don't even think the professor knows, Ah also only told Jubes is because her and Ah are one of the few, the Prof can't read properly. Ah didn't tell anyone because Ah didn't want attention. Ah was about to," Rogue's voice suddenly became bitter, "but Ah caught Bobby and Kitty sucking each other's faces till their hearts content. Immediately, Ah didn't trust anyone – 'sides Jubes – and Ah actually don't even have any idea why Ah'm here. Ah broke up with Bobby a few months ago and today Ah just decided to tell the people who were going to get their power's cured to not to but Ah met you instead," Rogue said. John started to laugh.
"Katherine Pryde? You mean ghost girl? Bobby's with that freaky ghost girl who is really skinny and short and has funny hair?" John laughed harder. Rogue smiled a little.
"Yeah," Rogue replied lamely.
"That is so sad. Seriously, why would he choose her over you!?" John exclaimed, "she's like a stick compared to you. You're hot and all curvy and seriously tho–" John was cut off by a pair of warm soft lips moving against his. He realized it was Rogue and started to respond. Rogue made this kiss short and sweet; a simple peck.
"Thank you," Rogue said as she laid her forehead against his hot – in temperature – one. "You're so different to Bobby. Bobby is just an ice-dick who doesn't know anything about his powers! He doesn't even know how to ice glide or ice shoot and Ah do! Ah haven't even had his powers for long and Ah even know how to ice-glide," Rogue exclaimed. John raised his eyebrows.
"Ice glide and ice shoot?" He asked.
"Ice gliding is sort of like flying, wait, y'know how ta fly, right? Like, fire flying?" Rogue asked John.
"Fire flying, uh… no." John said.
'Oh, well fire flying took me ages to actually learn how to do it properly. When Ah first did it, Ah burnt my clothes leaving me naked. Luckily no one was in my room at the time. The second time I did it, Ah ended up naked again. But finally, on the third try, Ah managed to do it, y'know how?" Rogue asked. John shook his head; no. "Ah was really angry at that moment that Ah was so hot Ah turned blue. Ah mean, the fire turned blue. It was so hot that it didn't burn my clothes. (AN: Sorry if that is a stupid reason. I couldn't get anything else on my mind) AhI've learnt how to control it, you're better than me at manipulating it because you're the real fire owner so Ah think you should be able to do it on your first try. Just think angry. You'll turn blue soon enough," Rogue said. John nodded.
John started to think of the ice-prick who left Rogue. That one simple thing just made John want to shred him to bits. He then turned on his wrist igniter and let the flames engulf him. He thought of that one little thought once more and then DAMN! He turned blue. He was amazed and Rogue looked amazed as well. 'God, doesn't she look so hot like that? ' He thought to himself.
"Ah knew you could do it. Now you just need to learn how to fly. After this first go, you can actually go without having to think of something bad. Ah'll show you how to fly using my normal flying," Rogue said. John's eyebrows furrowed.
"You're normal flying? Y'mean you have more than one?" John asked.
"Yeah, when I absorbed Carol. She had the powers, super strength, invulnerability and flight. Ah absorbed Carol till death so Ah have all of her powers. Ah mean, it was like if her mutation was my real mutation. Normally when Ah absorb people, it's just like fragments of a real person. Like in Harry Potter (AN: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR HARRY POTTER 6 & 7!! WATCH OUT!!) how Harry was a horcrux and the soul of Voldermort inside him was begging to come out. But… the soul of you and the other people actually like it in my mind, so they aren't begging to come out," Rogue said. John nodded. Rogue then started to concentrate, suddenly, she started to fly. John's blue mouth dropped.
"Whoa," John said. Rogue grinned.
"Okay! First, jump into the air and when you are about to come down, lift your shoulders up and pretend that you are trying to lift yourself up," John did exactly that and y'know what? He started levitating.
"Oh my freaking god. Look at me-ungh," John said and as accidently fell.
"See… you need more practise than that. Anyway, after you start to hover, just move your shoulders like you were doing before into where you want to go. See… Ah'm moving my shoulders left so Ah'm going left. Now Ah'm moving them right so Ah'm going right. It's pretty easy. After you perfect it, you can fly without having to move your shoulders," Rogue said when John started to fly. He did it perfectly, going in loops around the place.
"Wow! This is easy!" John said as he flew around. Rogue then turned blue and started to fly with John. They flew around for awhile until they stopped and landed back down.
"Oh yeah! I was gonna tell you about Bobby and how he can't ice shoot or ice glide. Anyway, ice gliding is just like fly but with ice. Watch this," Suddenly, ice flew out of Rogue's hands and went to the grass. Rogue stood on it and motioned to John to come on, "hold my waist," John then smirked and took the opportunity to hug Rogue from behind. John has always liked Rogue and this was opportunity to really show it.
Rogue then started to put more ice on the ground gradually becoming faster until it was like they were ice flying. John immediately understood why this was called ice gliding. Rogue then set them back on the ground. John smirked whilst he didn't let go of her waist.
"Jo-ohn," Rogue whined, "let go of meh!" She said as she struggled against him. John smirked again.
"Nope," John said as he popped the 'p'.
"John!" Rogue whined again.
"There's nothing you can do to let me let go of you," John said suddenly Rogue smirked.
"Realleh?" She said. John nodded, "well, then how about this," and then Rogue started to kiss him. John was shocked by this and he started to back, his strong grip becoming looser. Rogue then stopped kissing him and stepped out of his grip. She smirked, "oh sugah! Ya forgot Ah got super strength," she winked. John sighed in annoyance.
"Damn! I knew you weren't doing your best," John said.
"Oh yeah, Ah was gonna show you ice shooting, right?" Rogue said. John nodded, "Look," Rogue said as she took an ice-cone out of her hand. It was made out of ice and it looked like a cone. She then dropped in on the ground. After she dropped the cone on the ground she put her hand in a gun position, pointed her hand at a tree and many other cones started to pop out and hit the tree, the sharp pointy bit getting stuck in the tree. Pyro watched amazed. Rogue definitely outsmarted 'ol Ice-Dick by far. Rogue then took her finger up to her lips and blew a fast shot of air and some of it froze.
"Wh-how?" John asked. Rogue smirked.
"The water- no spit molecules froze… the air didn't freeze, it was mah spit," Rogue explained. John nodded. John then smirked.
"So… when you're mad at someone you have your own gun you can use," John lifted his eyebrows. Rogue shrugged.
"Ah guess. Ah'm not that violent, y'know. Ah hate it how the humans have to pretend that they are the superior one though," Rogue said.
"So… who do you go for then? Xavier of Mags?" Pyro asked. He seemed interested in this conversation.
"Ah dunno. Ah like Xavier's idea of peace between humans and mutants but first of all… we need peace between the mutants. Y'can't just have peace between humans and mutants till you have full peace between just the mutants themselves. Like, this whole fiasco of the Prof and Maggsie, they are as close as lovers – maybe even closer – but they disagree on a whole lot of things. So Ah guess Ah agree with them both," Rogue said. John thought about what she said and nodded.
"Yeah, I guess," John said thinking hard. Rogue then noticed the time.
"Oh Shiatsu! Ah gotta go!" Rogue said, "What about we meet around the same time tahmorrow? At the cure facility." John nodded.
"Okay, that's great," John said feeling excited as he would get to spend time with her tomorrow.
"Perfect," Rogue said. She then bit her lip debating whether or not she should kiss him before she left. Her decision was made up for her. John started to kiss her, slowly but passionately. But not after long, they both had to breathe. For Rogue, she had never kissed anyone like that. Sure, they might've made out or kissed for awhile but the kiss that John and herself just had topped the lot. His lips were hot yet smooth and were filled with expertise. Rogue then opened her eyes and stared into the aquamarine eyes that were in front of her. She then smiled; a genuine smile, not like those smirks she used all through today. A smiled that was filled with love. "Tomorrow," she whispered before she flew away.
