"Kitty! Where did you put mah hair brush?" Rogue loved Kitty as her friend but sometimes she could just scream at her, and today was one of those days. Kitty popped her head around the doorway with her toothbrush in her mouth.
"O fifnt fake it!" she defended her self.
"Kitty take that thing outta you mouth ah can't understand a word ya sayin'!" Rogue said starting to get even more annoyed.
Kitty took out her toothbrush from her mouth and repeated what she said.
"I said, I didn't take it." She turned back into the bathroom.
Ah'm gonna kill whoeva stole mah brush. She thought to herself. She stormed down the hall to Jeans room. She knocked on the door harder then necessary.
"Jean! Did ya take mah hairbrush?" she shouted through the door. Five seconds later Jean opened the door.
"What brush?" she asked.
"Mah brush, it's black and small. Have ya seen it?" she tried to keep her voice under control.
"Um… I think Boom Boom had it." Jean smiled.
"Thanks." Rogue mumbled.
Everybody knew that Rogue loathed Jean. Rogue thought Jean was too perfect.
Rogue? The professor's voice came into her mind.
Yeah? She answered
I would like to see you in my office please.
What now? She thought to her self.
She went down stairs and knocked on the professor's door.
"Come in" She heard him say gently.
She opened the door and walked in.
"Ya wanted to see mah?" she asked quietly. The professor was sitting behind his desk.
"Ah Rogue, I just got off the phone with, well lets say an old college, of mine." Xavier started.
"Rogue, we need your, particular power." He finished.
Rogue sat down.
"So? What do you want me to do about it? Ah hate ma mah power, it doesn't do me any good, why would it do any one else any good?" Rogue was really running out of patience.
"Your powers could do a great deal of good Rogue. You just have to learn how to control them." Xavier said calmly.
"Beast has tested me and tested me! He still hasn't found out how to control it!" she snapped at him.
"That's why I want you to go on this little… shall we call it mission." He said getting back to the subject.
"Fine what do you want me to do?" she sighed.
"We have received word that a powerful mutant has been kidnapped. Her name is Kelly Thomas. Her power is blow up things and to freeze time." The professor opened a file he had on the table and gave a picture of Kelly. She had long straight brown hair, light brown eyes, high cheekbones, and very good shaped lips.
"We don't know why she was kidnapped and we don't know where she is being held. That's why you need to go to Boston."
"Why Boston?" Rogue asked.
"To find a man who might know something about where Kelly is." He explained.
"So you want me to go to Boston to find a man who might know something about a girl, so ah can go and rescue her?"
"That was the idea yes." Xavier said.
"No way! Ah am not going anywhere. Kelly can freeze things why can't she get herself out of this one alone?" she shouted.
"Her hands are tied up, she can't use her power with her hands bound."
"Urgh, fine ah'll do it. When do I leave?" rogue asked angrily.
"Later today. The next flight is at 5:00pm, you will have plenty of time to pack." He replied.
"Ya could have told me a little sooner!" she objected.
"I didn't know you were going until 2 hours ago." Charles smiled slyly.
Rogue rolled her eyes at him.
Old man. She thought.
"I heard that." He laughed, Rogue laughed too, she couldn't help it, she could never stay angry at the professor, it was impossible. Rogue got up to leave; she had just reached the door when the professor added,
"Oh and Rogue?"
"Yes," she said.
"Someone will be going with you."
"Who? And ah'll go tell them." She sighed
"Oh they do not go to this school. He is from New Orland's."
"What! Who then?" she said outraged. She didn't want anyone to come with her in the first place never mind a stranger.
"His name is Remy Le' Bleu. Also known as Gambit."
