Authors note: I must apologise for the delay in posting. I know I warned you about being away from my computer for a few days but I was forgetting what time of year it was. BlackRose + Halloween one busy littlelady! And what a nasty place to leave you! Anyway...let's have a few quick words from the bitch shall we? Just bear in mind as you read this where her beloved Bobby is at this exact point in time...tee hee hee...
Chapter Twenty-five: Strategy
P.O.V: Marie D'Ancanto / Rogue / The Bitch
Perhaps it was a risky strategy but it was worth it. I didn't expect him to actually try and flame me, I thought he'd just hit me or at worse set fire to something around us – maybe start a bonfire with the nearby trees. But anyway, it has worked in my favour. There is no way Storm can let him stay now. I think she was too busy today to speak to him but I'm sure she'll deal with him tomorrow. And I mean, there is no way she can let him stay. He endangered my life, Warren's life when he tried to help me, he then stole one of the bikes and went speeding off and poor Logan and Bobby had to follow him. Storm has to finally realise just how much trouble he is. And then, he'll be gone.
And Bobby will be mine again.
He's been spending so much time trying to keep the pyromaniac amused and out of trouble, it really isn't fair! They should never have put them back in a room together. The adults just knew that if they did, Bobby would keep an eye on him and they wouldn't have to bother. Poor Bobby hasn't really had any time to himself. But when Pyro is gone again, and Bobby is left on his own, he'll realise just how much he has missed me. And then things will go back to the way they should be.
I did think about just telling Bobby that Pyro is gay (now that was a memory of Pyro's I could have lived with out seeing! He does seem to have good taste in men though...) Bobby would have had one of them change rooms in the blink of an eye. But it seemed wrong to use something like that against him, something that is out of his hands. Besides, Bobby's homophobia is probably the one thing I don't like about him, his one flaw. It didn't feel right to exploit that. That little memory about Pyro and his mother though...
I can be patient. That's the best way to deal with Bobby; you can't push him into things. I really don't understand why he is even friends with that damn pyromaniac. Bobby is so patient and gentle and caring and Pyro is just an impatient, unfeeling brute. They have nothing in common. Pyro doesn't deserve to have a friend like Bobby. And Bobby's certainly done nothing wrong to deserve having a friend like Pyro. I've done him a favour. Pyro will be gone. Bobby will be free.
And me?
I get my Iceman back.
It was worth it.
