Title: Whatever

Author: Autumn

Summary: "The truth is that I don't really care."

Rating: PG-13, language

Notes: I'm upset, it's a bit dark. Also, blame Matt for this

one. His beautifully, angsty "Thoughts" put me in the mood to write

this one.



===============================================================



Logan isn't going to come back. I know it and Scott knows it

too. Jean isn't going to be back either, she left with Logan.

Whatever. Two narcissists deserve each other; there really isn't

anything to debate about that. I don't care anymore. I just wish

Scott could see it that way.



He doesn't understand that people like us can never be

happy. I mean, he can kill with a look and I can kill with a touch,

doesn't really qualify either of us for social success. Whatever.



The looks I get from the rest of the mansion are starting to

piss me off. 'Oh Rogue, how terrible.' 'Poor dear.' 'You'll find

someone better.' No shit sherlock. Logan is pretty much a bastard.

I mean yeah, he did save my life, but not for the right reasons. He

did it to impress Jean; I saw that in my head.

But they are wrong on one account. I won't find someone

better than Logan. I won't find anyone at all. People are afraid of

me, and mutants are terrified. I'm like a piranha in a tank of

goldfish. They're all afraid I'll brush up against them and drain

their precious life away. Again I don't care. Whatever.



The one thing I did learn from Logan is to only trust

people as far as you can throw them. That way when they fuck you

over at least it isn't a surprise. Take Scott for example, he loved

Jean- a lot, more than his own life probably and look where it's

gotten him. He just sits around now, his body tense with rage and

fighting a Logan simulation in the danger room. He's beaten Logan 12

times now. He's fought Logan 12 times. I think if Scott ever sees

Logan again he'll kill him. Whatever.



I had a crush on Logan for a brief time, who wouldn't? But

that's not the point. The thing is I knew what I was getting into.

He's a slut, a bastard, and to be blunt a complete dick. Logan comes

first in his book, and that's how it is. Still, he's damn hot, so is

Jean. Whatever.



I'm getting sick of the stupid little remarks made about what

a fucking Greek tragedy this all is. There isn't any subtext to what

happened, or some great conspiracy, it's simple really. Logan and

Jean are attracted to each other. They acted on that attraction, and

that's it. Scott and I got left behind. Na-na-na hey life goes on.

Don't get me wrong, what they did hurt a lot of people, I'm not

saying that it didn't. The professor was disappointed because his

favorite, Jean, acted in a way that went against his view of her,

perfection, rationality and selflessness. Jean isn't a bad person

for it or anything; she just let lust cloud her judgement for

awhile. Logan, I have less tolerance for. He knew how much Scott

cares for Jean and he chose to gratify his own wants and ignore

Scott's feelings completely. That makes him much guiltier in my

book. Guilt, innocence, justice, lust, love, revenge, whatever.

Despite what many think, I'm not leaving here because I'm so crushed

by Logan's rejection of me, Christ, I never was stupid enough to

assume that he had any romantic intentions toward me. He wanted to

fuck me, yes, but I'm not into his one-night stand type of

lifestyle. It wouldn't have worked for wither or us; Things are

better the way they went down. We got what we wanted, well Scott

didn't, but I think he'll come out of this a stronger and less naive

person for it.

I got the most out of this little experience. I learned how the

world really works, and a recipe for living. You can't change the

inevitable, but you can deal with it in a variety of different ways.

Things happen, you accept them and move on, or you hang onto them

until they consume you in a fire of rage and furry. What's done is

done. Whatever.
