Chapter 34:
The next morning, Rogue woke up to the feel of Scott's arms around her. She smiled and felt very refreshed.
Scott was still fast asleep, so Rogue decided not to move so she wouldn't wake him and just stared at his sleeping face. He looked like an angel. Her angel.
After about 5 minutes of staring, he finally woke up.
"Good morning, sleepy head," she said, teasingly.
"Good Morning," he said, smiling at her, "What time is it?"
"7:00am," she said.
"Do you think anyone else is awake?" he asked her.
"It's 7:00am in tha morning and summer holidays. Ah think there's ah good chance that we're tha only crazy ones up," she joked.
"So I can probably sneak back to my room without anyone seeing," he stated.
"Yeah, sure," she replied.
They sat up in the bed releasing themselves from each other and the sheets on the bed.
"Ok, so." he said, standing up, "I'm going to shower and get changed."
"Yeah meh too," she replied, standing up as well.
He walked over to her and kissed her thoroughly, "I'll see you later."
Then he opened the door and looked both ways before heading to his room.
Rogue sat down on her bed and smiled dumbly, somewhat in contentment.
~ ~ ~
After showering and changing into a pair of dark blue flared jeans and a red t-shirt, Rogue went straight to Pietro's room. There was work to be done.
She knocked on the door but there was no answer. She tried again but still nothing. She slowly opened his door and found what she had expected. Pietro was still fast asleep. What she didn't expect to see was Pietro sprawled out over the bed in nothing but his boxer shorts on.
A slight blush came over her face as she looked upon his sleeping form noticing his very nice abs.
After staring at him for a moment her senses retuned and she remembered what she came in to do.
She walked over to the bed and lightly shook him, "Pietro," she whispered.
"Huh? What?" he said drowsily.
"Time ta wake up," she said gently.
He slowly sat up and looked around trying to remember where he was.
When his eyes focused on the clock on the bedside table he said, "Rogue, it's only 7:30 in the morning."
"Yeah well, we've got things ta do. So get up and get ready," she ordered.
"Like what?" he said, defiantly.
"Well first off we have ta go get your things. Then ah have ta show ya around tha place and get ya settled in. All before ah have ah session wit' tha Professor and then danger room practice," she told him.
"Don't forget the shopping trip," Kitty said, who was passing by on her way to her own room and had stopped when she saw who was there. Apparently she didn't find Pietro there anything out of the ordinary.
"Kitty, go away," she said to her friend.
"Fine but we are still going shopping," she said, moving along.
"So you've got a full day planned," he said to Rogue.
"Yeah, so lets get started," she replied.
"Ok, give me a second," he said reluctantly. And then in the blink of an eye he was gone and then back again a minute later, having showered and dressed.
"Ok let's go," he said.
So after getting a quick bite to eat, they headed for the Brotherhood house in one of the X-men cars.
As they got closer and closer, Pietro's nervousness began to surface.
"It's way too early. They're probably all still sleeping. We should come back later," Pietro insisted.
Rogue kept driving towards the Brotherhood house ignoring Pietro and his protests.
Once they reached the house Rogue parked in front unbuckled her seatbelt and turned towards Pietro.
"Look, ya're going ta have ta do this sooner or later. It will be better if its sooner. Besides they're probably wondering where ya disappeared ta last night," she said soothingly.
Pietro let out the breath he had been holding and said, "I guess your right."
"Don't ya know, ah'm always right," she teased, receiving a smile from him.
They stepped out of the car and went inside the house. It was very quiet and there was every indication that Pietro was right about them still sleeping.
"Looks lahke they are asleep," Rogue said.
"Told ya so," Pietro replied.
"How about we go upstairs and get your stuff while they sleep. Maybe by tha time we're finished they'll be awake," Rogue suggested.
Pietro agreed and they went up to his room and got started.
When they got the last box of his stuff in the trunk of the car, Pietro leaned on the hood of the car and stared at the Brotherhood house, "I can't believe I'm actually doing this."
Rogue walked over to him and stood next to him.
"I'm defying my own father," Pietro said, in disbelief.
"Are ya regretting this?" Rogue asked unsurely.
"I regret the way things are with my father and my sister. But no I guess I don't regret joining the X-men," he replied honestly.
"Good," Rogue replied smiling at him. And then he took his hand and pulled him towards the house, "Now lets go wake those lazy bones up."
Once they had gotten everyone up and down in the living room, Toad started to speak.
"You're pulling a 'Lance' aren't ya?" he said.
"Hey!" Lance yelled angrily, the house shaking a bit.
"Listen guys, last night Magneto's guys attacked me and Rogue just because we're together. He wanted to teach me a lesson," Pietro spat out, "I'm his own son. I'm not going to take crap like that. So yes I joined the X-men."
He looked around to see their expressions and not one looked too pleased.
"So that's it you're just bailing on us?" Fred asked angrily, "Again?" he pointed out.
"I can't stay," Pietro said simply.
"Fine go to your new friends," Toad said, trying to hide his hurt.
"Listen guys, it's not only Pietro we'd lahke at tha mansion. We'd lahke all of ya ta join too," Rogue spoke up.
"No thanks," Lance spoke up, "Remember, tried that all ready."
"Yeah ah remember," Rogue said a little grudgingly, remembering a certain drowning victim rescue attempt.
"Count me out," Fred said and Toad agreed.
"But Fred, they have a ton of food," Pietro argued and when that didn't sway him, he added, "And Tabby's there too." That seemed to get his attention, "And Todd, remember Rahne. She's there too. Aren't you going to the party with her?" Pietro received a blush from Toad's normally pale green skin.
It seemed as though they were about to give in, but in the end, they changed their minds.
"Sorry Pietro we're not cut out to be X-men," Toad said, Fred and Lance both agreed.
"Well ya guys can always change your minds," Rogue said, disappointed.
Pietro turned to Wanda, who had been silent the whole time.
"What about you Wanda?" Pietro asked, "I know I'm not your most favorite person but I'd still like my sister on my side."
Wanda glared at him and things started to shake. But before things got to be violent she stomped up the stairs.
"Well she's officially pissed off at me," Pietro said, "Maybe I should go up there and talk to her."
"No I'll go up there," Lance said quickly, "Good luck, Pietro, as an X- men."
"Thanks," Pietro said sadly and Lance walked up the stairs.
"Well we should get going," Rogue said to Pietro who just nodded his head.
"See ya guys," Pietro said.
Once they were in the car, "They think I'm betraying them all over again."
"Don't worry Pietro, ah'm sure they understand why ya're doing this," Rogue replied trying to comfort him.
"Yeah but they still hate me," Pietro said, hanging his head low.
~ ~ ~
Lance knocked on Wanda's door to see if she was all right.
"Go away!" she yelled out. And of course Lance didn't listen.
He opened the door and walked right in closing the door behind him.
"Are you deaf? I told you to go away!" she yelled again.
"Hey talk to me, what's wrong?" Lance said gently.
"Nothings wrong," she said, sitting on her bed and still fuming.
"Ok sure I believe you," Lance replied calmly.
"My brother is joining the X-men because my father attacked him," she yelled, "You don't see anything wrong with that!"
"Yeah I did, I was just waiting for you to say it," he said.
"So what, am I next, is my father going to attack me too if I don't do what he wants," she said frustrated, "Its funny, cause I don't remember him ever being like that at all."
A guilty expression over came Lance's face that Wanda had caught immediately.
"I'm missing something, aren't I? What? You know, so why don't you tell me," she demanded.
"I don't know anything at all," he said and started towards the door.
Wanda hexed him and made him sit on the bed.
"Tell me," she said, forcefully.
"Hey! I came up here to see if you're all right and calm you down. That's all," he said struggling with her powers, "Now let me go."
"You know something and I want to know," she simply stated, but released her hold on him.
Lance sighed, "Look Wanda, I care about you and I don't want to hurt you."
"You care about. me?" she asked surprised.
"Yeah," he replied, "And what I know will definitely hurt you and probably will make you hate me. And I don't want any of that." He reached for her hand and held it.
"I can't hate you. I- I care about you too," she said shyly, "Please tell me."
"Well I don't think I'm the one that should tell you this but here goes. Just please don't kill the messenger," he smiled at her.
Then he began to tell her everything about her past that he knew of. Half an hour later a big loud scream could be heard from the Brotherhood house.
