Okay, I hope this is good. Please let me know. Enjoy
Chapter 2
Later that day, the team was to do Danger Room sessions to test each others powers and limits.
Rogue made it to the locker room to change when she ran into Jubilee.
"Ah, Rogue, just the person I was waiting for." She exclaimed.
Rogue braced herself for Jubilee's talking, "Yeah, Jubes? What's up?"
Jubilee just smiled, "Just wondering if you seen the new guy yet? You know me and guys." she laughed.
"Uh, Ah think so. Ah mean, Ah haven't seen him before today. Ah met him afteh be bumped into me carrying a box for Storm. We waited for the elevator and talked for a second. Did you know he's from the south too. Anyways, we talked and then of course Bobby found be and made a seen in the elevator and the new guy was there. Bobby said something and Ah kindah blew up at him and oh my god." Rogue stopped, looking horrified.
"What? What's wrong?" Jubilee asked her.
Rogue shook her head, "Ah forgot he was there when Ah blew up at Bobby. Oh shit. Ah was just so mad."
Jubilee started giggling uncontrollably. "Like, what's going on guys?" A voice asked behind them as they both started laughing.
"Just talking about the hot new guy and how Rogue's mind works. It's quite hilarious." Jubilee stated with a straight face when she was done laughing. Rogue snickered.
Kitty just shook her head, "You know, you guys are weird, like for real. I think that's why I like you guys so much. Anyways, I have something important to tell you guys." Kitty was talking fast, luckily Rogue and Jubilee know her too well to let that bother them.
"Well?"
"Pete, like asked me out on a date. I knew he liked me, but I didn't know he wanted to go on a date with me. Since that whole thing with You-Know-Who, I haven't wanted to go on a date. But Peter is so adorable and huge and tall and so so much more." Kitty gushed. Jubilee laughed outright at Kitty's little description of Peter.
Rogue looked thoughtful for a second. "Did ya answer him, when he asked ya?" Kitty shook her head no. "Then you need to tell him you would love to go out with him and us two can help ya get ready for it. "'Cause ya need the right clothes and everything else. Plus, ya need to find out where he wants to take you. Okay? Can ya do that?"
Kitty nodded her head nervously. "I'm nervous. Like, I know Pete won't take advantage, because that's not who he is, but I don't want it to be a total wreck."
"Don't worry, Kitty. It won't. Just be your usual bubbly self. Okay?" Jubilee said. "Now let's go change into our uniforms before we get into trouble." Kitty and Rogue both nodded and went to change.
A few minutes later Rogue came out in a black and green leather uniform, while Kitty came out in a black and pink one, Jubilee came out in a yellow and pink uniform.
"Ya know, Ah still don't know how you were able to get a different color than us. It's so unfair." Rogue stuck her tongue out at her. "Let's go."
All three girls walked into the danger room and saw that Logan was there in a leather jacket, a white undershirt underneath his jacket and jeans and his boots.
"Hey, how do ya get wear that while we have to these fuckin' uncomfortable things." Rogue complained.
Logan growled, "Because I'm older, kid."
"Ya, know, growling don't scare me. Ah've been around ya too long." She laughed while he gave a slight smirk that only she saw. They had a father/daughter relationship since he and the team rescued her from Magneto on Ellis Island.
"Now I think we're all-" Logan was cut off by Bobby enter the Danger Room still zipping up his uniform. "Iceman, you're late. So, since you're late, you can fight me in this exercise." Bobby groaned out loud while Rogue and the others snickered quietly. Not that did anything, Logan could hear them anyways. "Now as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, today we are going to spar, using powers and such. If you don't have offensive powers, then stay on the defensive side, but protect and kick each others asses. Iceboy, you're with me."
Kitty calmly walked up to Logan, well Wolverine since they were in the Danger Room, and asked him, "Who are our partners?"
"Oh yeah." He turned to the group and motioned for them to quiet down and listen or their ass is his for extra Danger Room sessions. "Iceman's with me, Shadowcat with Colossus, Jubilee with Sunspot, Rogue with Gambit. That's all we have today."
Kitty looked a little nervous to be fighting Pete but then again so did Pete. "Don't worry Peter, Kitty can take care of herself. Ya can't really hurt her." Rogue told him calmly as she walked past him. He smile gratefully at her to which she returned.
When Rogue realized she didn't even know who Gambit was she froze for a second trying to find him. When she saw him, she was captivated by his eyes. Red on black.
Gorgeous, she thought. Then she realized, that was why he wore sunglasses inside.
Was he ashamed of his eyes? She wondered as she walked over to him. "So Ah guess we're partners in this." she told him. He saw who it was and his mood went from fine to ecstatic.
"I guess we are, chere." he drawled.
Rogue smirked, "So let's do this then. And keep your head outta the guttah."
Gambit just outright smiled, "Little hard, chere, 'specially since we gon' fight." That said he pulled a few cards out and charged one.
"Oh, ya have Kinetic Energy Manipulation. Ah haven't had that one yet." Rogue didn't realize how that sounded until it was already out of her mouth. "Shut it." when she saw the grin on his face. "Ah meant that Ah haven't had that power yet."
"Huh? What ya mean?" Gambit was confused.
Rogue smiled brightly, "Ya'll see. Can we fight now? I don't want extra Danger Room sessions with the Wolverine." Gambit nodded then threw a charged card at Rogue.
She dodged it easily enough, that is until it exploded behind her. She looked behind her and gaped, then turned to Gambit, "They fuckin' explode too?" He grinned wider and threw another charged card.
Rogue dodged that one too, but made sure she was further away from the explosion so it wouldn't do her any damage. She then proceeded to advance on Gambit while at the same time dodging his charged cards. Finally she was close enough to hit him and that's what she did.
Only she didn't hit him. He dodged it, like it was nothing by flipping out of range of her attack. She growled a growl that would make Wolverines' sound like a hiss.
Rogue decided it was time she stopped playing nice. She placed her hands behind her back and began working on taking her gloves off. At the same time, she also had to work on dodging Gambits cards and his bo staff that he pulled out.
She finally got one glove off when her legs were swept out from under her. Only it wasn't Gambit that did it. She looked over and saw who it was and kicked out with her legs and connected with his stomach. "Stop runnin' from him ya pansy ass." With that she got up and jumped and flipped over Gambit and punched his face with her glove-less hand.
It obviously fazed Gambit for he swayed on his feet before gaining his equilibrium back. "Ya pack a hell of a punch, chere." She was able to pull her other glove off her other hand and shoved them into her pocket in her uniform.
Gambit watched her for a second as black still clouded his vision. He tried shaking his head to clear it but as he was doing that, he received another hit to his left cheek. His knees gave out and he was left kneeling, basically at her mercy.
"What y' do to Gambit?" he asked her when he felt her move closer to him.
"Nothin' that Ah wasn't supposed tah do sugah." with that she patted his cheek she punched and knocked him out for a while. "Ah'm done." she called before helping Gambit to the wall of the Danger Room waiting for the others to finish.
After a minute, she felt a tingling in her hands, she had pulled her gloves on before she grabbed Gambit. So she looked down and saw they glowed a light pink or magenta. His psyche in her head realized what was happening and told her, so she ripped them off and threw them as far as she could.
"Watch out!" she exclaimed. Her and the others watched in fascination as her gloves exploded. Everyone then turned to her and she blushed.
"Oops."
Please tell me what you thought of this chapter. I know the little fight sucked. But I hope it was at least okay. Constructive criticism please. I can also handle the flames. So :P
