Chapter 13: 13 is an unlucky for some.
Rogue could feel the energy pouring into her, so she pulls back to see Remy just smiling at her. The couple tries it again; their kiss is longer and deeper. Rogue still feels the energy. "Ah feel something drawing out of you."
"But I'm fine." Remy says as though it were a simple fact.
Rogue looks to the floor thinking, "Are my powers broken?" She can't help but grin with the idea.
Roxy starts to reach for her, but Alex pulls her hand back. Roxy looks to Alex and says in a quiet calm voice, "This is the only way we will know if their broken."
With a sigh of defeat, "just touch her lightly with one finger." As the girls giggle they both stretch out one finger as they meet Roxy pulls back, "I can feel it leaving me."
"Then why can't Remy?" Alex questions, a grin grows on his face, "Maybe just maybe only Rogue's lips are safe to touch and only to other lips."
Roxy laughs and swats at his arm, "I hate you."
"No you don't." With a grin he leans in and kisses her gently on the shoulder.
Logan enters the crowded kitchen toast is being thrown and juice containers emptied. "I see everyone is up."
"Except Rogue I can't find her anywhere!" Kitty says to Logan.
"WHAT?" Logan half growls and storms out of the room.
The door flies open as Remy and Rogue lean into their kiss, "What the hell do you two think you are doing?" Logan spits out.
Roxy flies up, "Logan look! Rogue and touch Remy and he isn't passing out!"
"Logan!" Rogue jumps back.
As silence coats the room Alex breaks it, "Come on Roxy we are going to be late for school." The two run out of the room.
Remy finally speaks, "Yah see last night Roxy and Alex found meh—"
"I don't care you two are grounded you know the rules." Logan cuts Remy off.
"Remy ain't a child you can't ground him!" Rogue's eyes fill with tears, half joy and other half sad.
"Fine then you are grounded double time to make up for both of you."
"Now Logan, can't we talk this through?" Remy asks.
"No, she has to go to school."
Rogue gets up and kisses Remy on last time before she rushes off. Logan slams the door after himself.
As Roxy skips the shower and runs to catch a ride Scott grabs her arm, "Rox can you go out with me after school I want to talk to you!"
She nods quickly, "Sure, we'll talk later I'm late." She runs to school quickly.
Running in late to school Roxy and Kitty stop at the girls' locker room to drop off their clothes. "I'm so happy this is like the last week before Christmas Break!" Kitty grins.
"Yeah, totally! Oh shit! That means Christmas." Roxy stops dead in the hall which is empty with how late the girls are. "You wanna go shopping tomorrow?"
Kitty giggles, "Like let me guess you didn't start yet?"
"No." Roxy giggles.
"Nothing for Alex?"
"Nope, he is dating me ain't that enough!" She stops to pose like model.
"It would be for me!" The "new" Duncan says from behind the two girls, "Come on girls lets talk."
"We are late, come on Roxy." Kitty grabs her hand.
"Yeah." Roxy starts to follow when he puts his hand in front of her.
As his lackeys laugh, "Come cutie don't you want to forget your loser boyfriend and go with me."
"No, let me leave!" Roxy tries to look away.
"I thought you didn't like mutants." Kitty says behind the boys.
"Who knew they could look so fine." He grins reaching for Roxy's face.
"Get off her!" Kitty screams.
"Kitty get someone anyone!" Roxy yells as she turns her head away backing up from them.
With a small pause Kitty runs off to find anyone. Looking in each classroom to find a friendly face she sees Pierto throwing spit balls into a teacher's untamed hair. Kitty waves at him franticly. Finally seeing her he raises one eyebrow but she monitions for him to come.
"Hey teach I've got to go to the bath room can I get the pass?" Pierto asks.
"Yes." She points to her desk motioning him to get it himself. He just walks out of the room.
"What is so interesting?" Pierto looks to Kitty.
"Come on, it's Roxy those jocks won't leave her alone!" As Kitty runs down the hall and Pierto just jogs next to her he asks, "And what am I supposed to do?"
"I don't know scare them off something anything!" Kitty yells.
As they arrive they see Roxy back against a wall trying to wiggle her way at out of a force full kiss as he tried to slide his hand up her shirt.
"Can I help you guys with something?" Pierto asks seeing Roxy's worried look.
"Yeah buzz off."
Running next to Roxy he grins at her seeing her eyes filling with tears then he says, "Why don't you pick on someone your own speed?" As quickly as he came he runs behind one of them and says, "boo!"
"Get out of here, Maximoff!" He yells back.
"Sorry not with out her." He picks her up and zips behind them placing Roxy down, smiling she mouths the word 'thanks'.
"We didn't say you could leave baby."
"Hey Rox you want to leave?" Ray said walking up.
"Yeah!" She said never so happy to see him.
"Then I say we all go back to class and call it a day." Ray says reaching his hand to Roxy.
"I think we have a fight." Says the football star.
"I'm down," Ray starts to spark.
"Ray no, we don't fight or use our powers!" Kitty yells. Just then a teacher walks up.
"Principle's office now!" She yells as she escorts all of the students down, her class hurries to look. Kurt being one of them runs to them, "V'hat happened?"
Kitty just mouths to him, 'it was bad.'
After listening the stories he looks at all students present, "You mutant know better then using your powers, one week out of school."
"What!" Kitty yells, "like that's not fair they tried to hurt her! What do you want us to do!"
"Get a teacher." He snaps back, "As for you detention today after school."
"This ain't right." Ray mumbles. "Come on," he puts his arm around Roxy leading her out of the room.
"Ray stop just stop!" Roxy screams.
As the first period ends the halls are filling up with students, no one knows what has happened yet. Kitty, Ray, Pierto, and Roxy leave the office and head to the parking lot. They stop when Kurt and Amanda run over to get the scope, Kitty and Pierto share the story as Roxy just looks at the ground still scared. Amanda drops her books, they hit Kurt's foot, but she doesn't notice she just hugs Roxy as she just silently cries into her shoulder.
"Sweetie, shhh shhh." That's all Amanda can say as she strokes her hair. The group just stops talking and look to the ground.
Strom and Charles come into the school, finally the halls are silent the student body sees something is wrong and look to Roxy and Amanda. Alex runs pas them all, "What the hell happened?" He asks no one in specific. Roxy looks up, her eyes are still watery. Amanda just steps aside and hands her to Alex, as Amanda just leans on Kurt. Roxy buries her head into Alex's shirt. Alex looks up after a few minutes, "What the hell happened?" This time he is asking Charles.
Finally he answers, "It seems we have a situation, I want to speak with principle. Storm can you take Pierto Ray and Roxy home. Alex and Kitty come with me please we will sort this out okay?" Alex kisses Roxy's head and asks, "Are you okay, do you want me to go with you?"
"I'll be okay, Jean is home." She whispers.
He kisses her head again and leads her to Strom. As Storm takes the others home, the other group goes to the office.
At home Roxy doesn't speak the whole ride.
"Man I think she is still shaken up." Pierto says to Ray.
"Yeah." He says watching her, feeling bad for all those times he messed with her. He slides next to her in the car, "Listen I know this isn't the best time for this but I'm sorry about everything I did. I do like you but I'll cut it out." He whispers to Roxy. She tries to smile and him and just hugs him.
Roxy sat with Jean the rest of the day. Finally she was getting back to normal.
Knocking on the door Scott asks, "Can I steal Roxy for a minute?"
Roxy gets up and walks
over; he places his hand on her back and leads her to his room. Motioning for her to sit on his bed, he routes through his dresser,
"I want to show you something." He hands her a small box from
Tiffany's, "What do you think?"
Roxy opens it to see a small
gold band with a single diamond in the middle, "It's traditional
and classy, and she will love it."
"You think she will? I didn't know if it was too boring."
"Scott it could be plastic and it would still be perfect!" Roxy grins, "It's from you that's what's important."
"I'm not sure how to do it. I want it to be special." Scott says looking at the ring.
"Tell me your first cute moment with her." Roxy asks.
"This one time the power was out and we were playing LIFE by candle light." He half laughs as he constitutes, "I got the marriage stop first and she asked me who I wanted and I said 'The girl I want is already on the board.' She laughed and said 'then you should take her.' Now every time we play we race to get to that stop so we can steal each others pegs."
"That's so cute!" Roxy squeals. "I got it! You should…"
Do you still want to kill me?? Hope not. We are winding down. REVIEW!
