Ladies of Darkness
Chapter two
Everyone sat quietly in the danger room. Logan thought it was a good idea to do individual evaluations for all the senior students in the school, especially after he was spooked by 'the ladies of darkness'. I smirked at the thought and looked at Jean and Scott in disgust, I knew both of them disliked me and they blamed me for the release of Apocalypse, they seemed to blame me for a lot of things. I leaned against the wall and watched every student take in what Logan had said
"Listen you runts, the objective is to get through as many levels as possible, I want to see how long you last, and the one s to reach the highest levels won't have to danger room sessions' for a whole week!" There was a chorus of gasps around the room and Scott looked pretty sure he would win. I laughed inside this was going to be too fun. I began calculating how to use my new acquired powers. I finally decided, I would use agility, sixth sense, healing factors and a bit of my super strength. I smirked and looked straight at Jean who was watching me closely, I looked at her expectantly and she raised and eyebrow as if to look surprised that I noticed her starring at me
"Oh sorry about that Rogue, I was just thinking maybe it would be better if you went first, so you could get it out the way, I doubt you would have made any improvement since you have been on holiday!" I cocked my head to the side and starred at her; everyone watched in shock at my response, I smirked and said walking past everyone
"Miaght as well get it out da way!" I looked at Logan smirking and said
"Don't go easy on meh sugah!" He laughed and gave a gruff reply.
I got into the danger room wearing my normal X-men uniform, I smirked on the inside and put my fingerless gloves on and signalled to Logan that I was ready. I scanned the room quickly to notice that the professor was watching me carefully and using his telepathy to scan my brainwave activities, I looked up and starred directly at him and said mentally
'Stop scanning meh!' he looked slightly shocked and nodded his worthless' apology and watched carefully as the programme started. I looked at the simulation in front of me, a few street thugs wanting to rob me; I looked up at Logan and laughed.
They watched her from the top of the danger room in mild shock. Well, not everyone, Logan was smirking like a proud father and Ororo looked slightly impressed but ha d a knowing look on her face whereas everyone lese was absolutely stupefied. Jean had looked on enviously, knowing that although she believed her active powers were stronger than Rogue's poison skin when it came to hand to hand combat Rogue was just as good as Logan. Logan laughed proudly and said
"Level Nine, she's on the same level as me!" Professor looked slightly baffled by the conclusion of Rogue's new stamina
"Rogue's physical attributions are changing!" Logan huffed and said
"The kid's been training with Mystique Chuck!" Everyone looked slightly shocked at this revelation whilst Logan turned back to Rogue and her battle simulation
"How do you know this Logan?" Ororo asked gently crossing her arms across her chest
"Her fighting style is almost the same as Mystiques, plus she told me!" Scott looked back and fourth from the Professor to Logan and said angrily
"Aren't you going to question her on this professor?" Jean stood by Scott completely agreeing with his earning a growl from Logan
"If she wants ta tell us then she will, I ain't forcin' anything out of Stripes'!"
Down Below
I stood in front of Jaggernaught, in a familiar stance Mystique taught me back at Mississippi, I looked at Jaggernaught with a passive face and began peeling off my gloves and was about to attack him when I felt my phone vibrate, I began fumbling to get my phone out when The Jaggernaught charged for me, I ducked and rolled underneath him successfully answering my phone and saying smirking
"Yh!" I watched the hologram carefully as it began swinging punches at me and I kept dodging them his powerful blows
"When do we start the plans?" I laughed and rolled underneath Juggernaught's feet and ran from him, he swivelled round and chased me, I looked at the wall in front of me and said quickly
"Give meh a sec sugah!" I sped up my run quickly and ran up the wall gathering momentum and flipped over him, throwing my phone into the air, making sure the throw was high enough to concentrate on what I was doing to catch it on time and grabbed his shoulder somersaulting over him and catching the back of his neck with my bare hand. I felt nothing because it was a holographic make up and watch as it dissipated, I quickly catch my phone at last minute and said catching my breathe a little
"As soon as I give ya tha go ahead sug!" Ebony laughed and said a little distracted
"Call you later babe, training with the rest!" I clicked off the phone and looked at Logan who was giving me a suspicious glare; I looked back at him and sighed.
I walked back to everyone else to see Scott giving me an accusing glare
"You know well enough not to bring a phone into danger room Rogue!" I rolled my eyes and said sitting on the desk next to Kurt who was looking at me questionably, I looked back at him blankly and quickly used the telepathy I acquired to skim his thoughts, I smiled softly at him and said
"The reason mother hasn't visited ya is cause she don't want tha trouble from the X-men, she coming ta see ya in a few days, said she gotta explain a few thangs ta ya!" He looked at me startled then happily and said excited
"Like Vhat?" I laughed at his eagerness and shrugged and said looking back at Scott
"If yam us know Suga, I was talking ta one of the Ladies of Darkness', ya know the one's ya failed to recruit!" Jena scoffed and the Professor looked slightly shocked, I shrugged at Logan who merely said
"How'd ya meet them?" I sighed again although it was fake; I knew Logan knew I was lying, I plan to tell him first, along with Kurt and Kitty that is.
"Raven trains them, she naught their leader they already have one, she jus give them shelter and helped them outta some rough situations!"
"Could ya give us any information on them Rogue?" The professor asked kindly. I thought a little and said bringing out my phone
"I can do betta than that!" I heard the phone ring
"Hello, what do you want now?" I laughed and said casually forgetting the presence of everyone else who were getting pretty anxious
"Well ya see sugah, the X-men want ta meet ya!" Ebony laughed over the phone and said giggling like a school girl. I could hear her in the back ground calling the other girls around the phone and said calmly
"You're on loud speaker!" I turned my phone on to the loud speakers and listened carefully as Ebony's tone of vice changed from happy and cheerful with cold and empty
"What is it you want?" I looked at the Professor who looked silently disturbed
"We would just like to know about you and your team and maybe you would like to join the school!" There was an eerie silence and I could tell the girls were doing this for a dramatic effect Naomi then said
"Yea we'll come and our leader will arrive at her own accord, she's working at the moment!" Xavier seemed relieved at the conversation they were providing
"When will you be arriving?" There was a long pause then there was a roar of engines then you could hear
'Raven you comin?"
'Like hell I will drive on a bike with a maniac like yourself' I sniggered quietly and listened when Naomi shouted
'Raven your one to talk about being a maniac, I hate the term maniac, sounds so vulgar, slightly disturbed seems better' I laughed when I heard crashing and them grumbling
"Yea Professor Xavier, we're on our way now!"
