What I wanted
Chapter 11
"What the hell is taking her so long?" Pyro said as he sat back flicking his lighter.
Everyone responded with silence. Pyro, along with the other brotherhood members were waiting impatiently for the female member of the group also known as Calisto. The boy leaned forward resting his elbows on his knees in annoyance. Finally after a few more seconds of waiting idly a black blur appeared and made its way inside to the opposite side of Pyro.
"Be on time next time," Mystique said blankly as she started the chopper.
Calisto crossed her arms and looked down at the floor. She leaned back on the metal wall and to Pyro's surprise she didn't even bother to say something back. He looked at her curiously with a raised eyebrow, but she just continued to look down on the floor. It wasn't like her to ever take discipline like that silently. Nonetheless he sank back in to his seat caring less about the girl in front of him.
Flashback
"Rogue are you crazy!" Jimmy said all too loudly.
The black blur also known as Calisto came to a sudden halt as she heard the boy's voice. She stood outside Rogue's door curiously wondering who he would be talking to. The girl inched closer to the metal door and pressed her ear against the cold surface. One the other side of the wall was Jimmy and Rogue sitting on her bed arguing.
"Do you know who these people are? We don't even know if Storm is alive or not!" Jimmy said in protest.
"I know…It's just that…I…" Rogue started. She looked down at her bed sheets shifting through her mind, finding a way to voice the reasons why she wanted and needed to stay.
Jimmy shifted off the bed and stood up looking down at Rogue. "Rogue there's no way that you…or we can stay here. Sooner or later they're gonna come for us…"
Rogue knew Jimmy meant by saying they. They meaning the x-men. Her eyes looked up at a very distraught Jimmy.
"I know…it's just that John…I can't leave him…"
On the outside of the room Calisto continued to listen intently despite the fact she was late.
"John?"
"Yeah…" Rogue said with a slight smile. "It's not about joining the brotherhood or switching sides. I don't care about that. It's just…I let John go once before…I can't loose him again." The girl finished her sentence looking down at the floor knowing that the boy probably wouldn't understand.
Jimmy mirrored Rogue's movements looking down at the floor also. The boy tried to figure out what she meant by her words, but nonetheless failed to do so.
"You really think they'll let you stay…after they've found out you've been cured…?" Jimmy said softly.
Jimmy's didn't say his words softly enough for Calisto not to hear. Her face had a look of disgust and shock.
"What about Pyro? What do you think he's gonna do when he finds out?"
Rogue lost in her thoughts barely heard Jimmy's question. "John? He already knows…"
The girl on the other side pulled her head back quickly as if her head was about to be chopped off. She looked at the door as if she could burn a hole through the metal if she tried hard enough. Her blood began to boil as Rogue's words played over and over in her mind.
'He already knows. He already knows'
Her hands at her side balled into tight fists until her knuckles turned white. She heard the two talking at an inaudible level, although she could've cared less by now. The girl had heard enough and alls he wanted to her. Turning on her heel she ran towards the chopper at full speed with a certain pyromaniac's image burning in her mind.
End of flashback
Calisto breathed in and out heavily as she continued to look down at the floor. The girl was 'cured' and the traitor in front of her knew about it. Slowly she raised her head and looked at the mutant across from her. He sat down so calmly flicking his lighter like nothing was wrong. It made her want to jump out of her seat and tackle him to the ground. He was a traitor and he didn't care.
"I know which side I'm on, I'm never going back to that school"
Calisto narrowed her eyes at Pyro who was looking at the window deep in his thoughts to notice her glares. As she remembered his words that night she found herself trying harder to keep her anger under control. Calisto was never a girl to keep her emotions, especially anger bottled inside her. So what was keeping her from lashing out on him now?
She looked back down on the floor, her breathing finally steadying. No, she wasn't going to tattle on him, she was going to do something much more worst then that. She was going to make sure he regretted betraying the brotherhood.
