Just being me

"So the tv switched on itself and showed a news block and then another one about mutanthunters." Logan rubbed his forehead while he stared at Rogue. He first was angry that he was interrupted by her during training session but this news was indeed very disturbing. Rogue bit on her lip and looked at Level. The new girl was looking at her with disgust and she knew that somebody must have told her that she had taken the cure. Maybe taken the cure had brought her to worse than ever. Of course most of the other students were happy for her, especially Bobby, but still there were some who thought of her as a traitor. "Hey pay some attention here." Logan shout at the others, "From now on we're going to practise even harder than ever. There are mutanthunters in action." He gave Rogue a smile, "Good work stripes. Keep up the good work." Rogue knew she wasn't necessary in the danger room anymore and turned around.


Force-one looked at the file that was on the table, "A whole house full with mutants sounds attractive." Force-two gave him a nod and gave him another file. "This one is about the weapon-X who is living in the house too." He whispered softly while his eyes were running over the other people in the bar. Mostly he could pick the mutants out quickly. There had mostly a look of agony in their eyes. Afraid of being discovered, but trying to look as if everything was all right. This time he couldn't see mutants, but that didn't mean that there were none. He gave a long glare to a man in the back, which was playing poker with a young woman. The man was maybe a mutant, but he wasn't sure. Force-one gave him a kick against the leg, "Seeing that man playing poker over there? I think it's a mutant." He whispered with a dangerous look in his eyes. Force-two gave him the same glare back. "I had the same idea." They ordered a drink and keep their eyes on the man.

She knew they were at the table behind her. She gave the man in front of her a glare, she also knew that they weren't after her but after him. She gave a look at her cards. She had won the game before this one and was winning this game too. The price was a bottle of great value, but with the hunters in the same room, she didn't know if she wanted it. The man gave her a surprised look, "It seems that you're winning again." She woke up of her thoughts and gave him a smile. "Luck is on my side hon." After revealing the cards she stopped him before he could grab the bottle out of his pocket. "Just leave your jacket, go to the toilet and leave through the backdoor." He wanted to protest but she gave him a dangerous and angry look. He nodded quickly and left her with the jacket. She saw the two hunters follow their prey. She put on the mans jacket and quickly left the bar. When she came near an alley, she heard the fight and the screams of the mutant. She quickly moved on.


Rogue was staring at the ceiling of her bedroom while tears were forming in her eyes. "Why can't ah have a normal life, with or without powers." She whispered to the empty room, "Just being accepted for who ah am."
