Warrens not a pervert: he was just hungry. :D

Another Chance

Only a few minutes after he'd left the room she was on the floor crying. Scarlett had gained consciousness and crouched down beside her.

"Now you have nobody holding you back."

"Except my heart," Rogue cried.

"He won't escape unless the guards have my permission- which they don't. I can lock him up and only give you the key. You can give your love to him and he won't be a bother."

"No. Let him leave if he wants to."

"I'll refuse to do that. I know you don't want to let him go, and I won't let you either. Talk to him, he'll give you another chance. Once that's squared away we can truly focus on our plan."

"I thought he was a distraction and we couldn't have those," Rogue said quietly.

"There are some good distractions. I'm planning on inviting Logan back to my own room tonight. He's previous been unconscious in my freezing chamber."

"Does he even know that you're doing all this?"

"No, but he will once he's removed from his place and removed from his clothing," Scarlett smiled. Rogue laughed, "You are such a slut."

"I'll get the guards to bring Warren back to your room. I'll make sure Scott stays busy so you can talk." Rogue nodded and stood up. Scarlett gave her one last smile and left the room. She stood for a second; glancing at the spot he'd landed. The flood had blood on it, and even a bit of flesh.

She would protect him better, Rogue though to herself, she'd keep her family safe from now on. No amount of power would ruin that. Not even all the power in the world.

After a few minutes, she went back to her room and opened the door. Warren was sitting on her bed starring at the carpet with dead eyes.

"I thought you'd let me leave. Guess not." She works fast, Rogue sighed to herself.

"Warren, may I truly say what I feel? I need too."

"As long as you're not planning on hurting me…more," He piled on.

"I'm not doing this for power or money- or all the guys I want. I'm doing this because I think it will help. I'm not a villain Warren. I'm just a person trying to make a difference. And I plan to keep everything under control. Scarlett and I are a team. She listens to me, not like Storm. I didn't want her to die, but maybe it was time."

"That's crap!"

"Can I finish?" Rogue asked, he nodded glaring at her.

"People have died and it's always made us stronger. Professor. Scott. Jean. Now Storm and Hank. That's what makes us grow. If I could have stopped their deaths I would have, but I didn't and I feel horrible. You have to understand and trust me. I need you too. I promise- what happened today will never happen again."

"How? If she tries to kill me- who's' gonna stop her? You? Your not that powerful. What if it's Scott next time?"

"It won't be. That's why I need you to trust me. I swear I won't let it happen. Warren if I lost you…I couldn't go on- I need you. You're my guy- the one and only and I love you so much. If Scarlett so much as lays a finger on you again I swear- I will kill her."

"I can't Rogue- I can't trust that, your words- not anymore."

"What do I have to do?"

"Rogue…"

"Stop- I wasn't finished. You mean more to me than anything. You are my baby and I can't even begin to describe the amount of love I feel for you. You protect me and keep me safe and watch out for me. Now let me watch out for you. I'll keep you safe, I'll protect you. You are part of me and without you- no matter how cheesy this may sound- I'm not whole. You are my everything and today wasn't supposed to happen. It won't happen- ever, ever again. Warren in a relationship the one thing that matters is trust."

"I know that but-"

"Forgive me and I'll make sure everything stays that way. I won't go power hungry or crazy or anything. I'm just Rouge, your Rogue. I'll be here for you from now on. This whole thing will calm down and I can just focus on my training to advance myself."

"Rogue-"

"And we can have sex once a week, once a day if you'd like. Once a minute would be complicated- but if you want it…"

"Rogue-"

"I can't be without you Warren."

"My turn to talk?"

"Yes."

"Once a week sounds pretty nice," he smiled, "I'll try harder to except this whole taking over the world thing. We can do it Rogue, if we work at it."

"Thank you. How's your stomach?"

"Kinda burnt and red."

"I see that. I'll go get a first aid kit." Rogue fiddled around in the bathroom cabinet drawers for a second and brought out a small kit.

"Lay down."

"I like this service," he smiled, lying down on the bed. Rogue sat down next to him and opened the kit.

"Now first we put on this creamy crap," she said, smudging the sticking substance around his bare chest, "Then we add some of this bad smelling stuff." Rogue wiped a different sticky substance on his stomach.

"This feels gross," Warren squirmed in the bed.

"Oh stop, it's just some, uh, stuff."

"It's gross stuff," he added.

"Time fore the bandage," she pulled out a big strip of cloth, "Sit up." She wrapped it around his stomach and he sighed once she was finished.

"When does the doctor give me my candy?" he asked.

"Ooh, smart guy. Right now actually." Rogue climbed on top of him, being careful not to press too hard on his stomach.

"Taste's good," he chuckled, after giving her a passionate French kiss.

"You're worse than Scarlett," Rogue smiled.
