He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?
Switching back to the Brotherhood from the X-Men, Rogue reflected, was the best decision she'd ever made. She'd never really fit in with the X-Men, with their love of rules and preppy clothing. It just wasn't her.
And, of course, there was Lance.
Lance, who used to like Kitty.
Rogue scowled at the thought of Kitty Pryde. The preppy, perky, valley girl ballerina. She had her good moments, but sometimes she'd just made Rogue want to kill her.
He wanted her
She'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem
With his baggy clothes
Rogue remembered how, night after night, Kitty would keep her awake by ranting on and on about what Lance did that day at school, before sighing and moving on to how hot he was, and how sweet he was...it made Rogue sick.
She remembered watching Jean and Scott lecture Kitty day after day once she and Lance started dating.
"You're making a mistake...he's Brotherhood...he's the enemy..."
Some days even Evan and Kurt would join in, Evan out of spite towards the Brotherhood, and Kurt out of jealousy.
"What do you see in him?"
"He's friends with Pietro!"
And Rogue would just watch, as Kitty defended Lance, saying how he was a good person and could change.
But that was just it. Kitty wanted him to change.
He was a skater boy
She said "See you later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
Sure, Kitty was pretty. Definitely one of the prettier girls in the school. But honestly! What had Lance seen in her? Some days Rogue thought she'd forget her own head if it wasn't attached to her body. Her head was always up in the clouds. She was too immature for a worldly person like Lance, who'd was far older than his years.
Rogue still remembered that day five years ago, when Kitty and Lance had broken up once and for all.
"You're nothing but a hood!" Kitty had shouted at him.
Nothing but a hood. Rogue recalled how, a few days later, Lance had called her and just poured out his soul to her. He said no one at the Brotherhood understood, and he just needed someone to talk to.
A hood. That's all anyone had ever told Lance he'd be.
Rogue had told him he needed to prove them wrong. He needed to show the world that he was more than just a hood.
5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby
She's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rocking up MTV
But that was five years ago. Now, the Brotherhood, including Rogue, were members of S.H.I.E.L.D, and the X-Men were still the X-Men, with the additions of Gambit and Colossus. Last time Rogue talked to her brother, Kurt had told her that Kitty and Piotr had finally gotten hitched, and would soon be welcoming a little one into the world.
As far as Rogue knew, none of the X-Men, save for Kurt, the Professor and possibly Logan, knew that the Brotherhood were now a S.H.I.E.L.D-sanctioned force. So they were intending to surprise them.
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man
That she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said "See you later boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face
See what he's worth?
"The Juggernaut has once again escaped." Their superior at S.H.I.E.L.D told the Brotherhood. "We want you to beat the X-Men there and defeat him."
"No problem, boss man!" Pyro said gleefully. The general just shook his head and walked away.
"Alright, let's go guys." Lance ordered.
The X-Men arrived on the scene, all ready to defeat the Juggernaut. Only to find him already defeated, and being packed into a S.H.I.E.L.D helicopter.
"Fury!" Logan shouted, spotting the man with the eye patch. "What are you doing here?"
"Our team just defeated a highly dangerous fugitive with a bad habit of escaping. We are here to return him to the penitentiary." Nick Fury replied.
"Your team?" Scott asked. In reply, Fury gestured over his shoulder.
The X-Men looked over. When they saw the Brotherhood, eyes widened.
"YOU?" Scott shouted.
"You guys are part of S.H.I.E.L.D?" Kitty demanded.
"Yeah, actually." Rogue shrugged. "Nice job on not spilling the beans, Kurt."
"You knew?" Jean raged at Kurt, who shrank back, casting a glare at his sister.
"Uh, ja."
"I didn't." Logan grumbled, sounding annoyed at having been left out of the loop.
"I don't believe this!" Kitty exclaimed. "Lance? You're like, helping people?"
"Why is that so hard for you to believe, Kitty?" Lance asked. "Oh yeah, I remember. Cause I'm 'nothing but a hood', right?"
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
"But...but..." Kitty gasped out.
Rogue walked up beside Lance, and put a hand on his shoulder. He acknowledged her by wrapping his arm around her waist.
Kitty's eyes immediately zeroed in on it.
"You guys are, like, dating?" She gasped.
"Yeah, we are." Rogue said bluntly. Lance grinned at her. "Why do you care? Aren't you married with a kid on the way?"
Kitty was speechless with shock.
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard?
How we rock each others world?
"C'mon, Rogue. Let's get out of here." Lance said. The Brotherhood turned and began walking away.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it." Kitty said, staring at the ground in shock.
All of a sudden, Pietro zoomed up. "What?" He asked. "That he got over you? You expected him to just cling to you forever?" He gave her a condescending look before zooming away again.
"Come, Katya. All this excitement is not good for the baby." Piotr said, in his gentle voice. Kitty smiled up at her husband. She loved him, there was no questioning that. Maybe this was a good thing.
She was going to let Lance go.
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
A/N: Right. I have no clue where this came from. Review, constructive criticism welcome, no flames please. Because I'll give them to Pyro, and we all know what happens when Pyro gets his hands on fire...
