Entry number thirty-six:

That's what I like to call the danger room's control room.

And after today... ugh, it sucked so bad...

Rogue has been spending the majority of her time in the danger room. She just wants to "focus on her work" right now. She doesn't have time for "stupid relationships". Of course, she didn't say this to me, I'm just assuming that's what she would say if she were willing to talk to me about it.

Which she isn't.

I really shouldn't be surprised, she's not exactly the best at articulating feelings. She vents her frustration physically. And I'm not willing to help her out in that area, my face is too pretty to be punched at. That's what Logan's for. And I'm sure he totes suspects that something is up, but if he's like everyone else, he probably just assumes it's because of me and Remy.

It would be a pretty awful thing to deal with if it were true; your bestie and your arch nemesis?

Ouch.

So you can see how everyone just assumes that's what her deal is, and leaves well enough alone.

Now, don't even get me started on the way Remy is dealing with this breakup... He wants to get his hands on as many women as he can as quickly as humanly possible. He says it's just how he rolls, so I tag along with him wherever he goes.

And tell him "That's just how I roll."

Then he says I'm cockblocking him.

I don't disagree. But this fake relationship has to look some-what authentic, right?

Trust me, I don't tag along with him on outings for my own health... I can think of way better things to do with my time.

Which is what I said to him. So then he was like, "Oh yeah? Like what?"

Of course I rattled off a list, and one of the only suitable things to him was movie, because as he put it, "It's a chance to get some beauty sleep."

Whatever. I totally like action movies, and it's not my fault there weren't any playing at the theater. And just for the record, anything with Hugh Grant does not "automatically suck", okay?

Anyway, I'm rambling. Where was I? Right, Rogue doing double time in the danger room.

This morning we had our weekly, mandatory DR session, which is never fun, but it's been especially sucky since their breakup. At least for me. I mean, it's only been two weeks, but still. The two of them in a small room making snide comments under their breath the entire time, totally makes me uncomfortable now that I can sense the tension. Totally.

Ignorance really was bliss.

So brace yourselves, because what I'm about to tell you will totally blow your minds. Like, as far as being in an uncomfortable situation, this was probably right up there with "I forgot to put pants on before I left the house" or "having to tell everyone at your wedding that the groom isn't coming".

We're all gathered in the control room, just like, waiting for Logan. Which is not normal. Because I'm pretty sure he actually sleeps down there and waits for us to arrive. So of course, Scott is the first to speak up.

"I think we should just go ahead and get started without him."

"Of course you would." Rogue rolls her eyes and Tabby snort laughs.

"Why don't we just leave?" Bobby shrugs. "If the situation were reversed, he wouldn't wait for us."

"Are you high?" Jubilee scowls at him. "He would hunt us all down and make us wish we'd never been born."

I'm going to have to agree with Jubes. Before I get the chance to verbalize my position, the door swooshes open and Logan clomps in with a folder under arm and a frown on his face.

He doesn't apologize for being late. "We'll get started in a minute." He jerks his thumb towards the open doorway. "We got a new recruit here that I'm supposed to introduce to everyone."

And then... there she was. And I swear I could hear Rogue grinding her teeth from across the room.

This part was a bit of a blur because I know everyone was kind of trying to gague my reaction as Remy introduced her.

Emma Frost. My new arch nemisis. Nice to meet you; you're dead to me.

I put on my best Beauty Queen grin and stayed quiet.

"How do you two know eachother?" Amara asked, discreetly looking over at me. Nothing but smiles here!

"Charles has been trying to convince me for some time to join your team." Emma gives Remy a cheeky grin. "He sure knows how to win over a girl."

Baaaaaaaaarf.

"So, Professor Xavier is pimping Remy out." Rogue crosses her arms and flicks her sickly sweet smile over to Remy. "That's quite a convenient arrangment."

He returns her uncomfortably adorable grin and shrugs. "Can't complain."

"But you were keeping this secret? I didn't think you liked secrets."

This is when I did this like, uncomfortable Fran Dresher like laugh. "It wasn't like that. Right Remy?"

C'mon man, my street cred is on the line here! If people think that Emma and Remy were doing the nasty on the side -again, barf- I'll lose all my awesome points. I'll start gaining pity points. I don't like pity points! I don't!

I can tell that he's torn. He's very much enjoying the fact that this situation gets Rogue's back up and claws out, but he cares enough about her to keep going along with the fake relationship. Or maybe it was the fact that Logan was eying him carefully, waiting for him to respond...

Logan may not like me all the time, but I know he'd totally kill for me.

Infact, I'm pretty sure he's counting on it eventually.

"It was stricktly business." Emma saves Remy the trouble of figuring out a response, grinning like the damn Cheshire Cat. I can't help but think she's hiding something. Like she knows something, or something.

"Alright, well now that the introductions are out of the way, let's get to work." Logan grunts, making his way over to the control desk.

"Very nice to see you again Kitty." Emma politely smiles. I see Bobby nudge Jubilee through the corner of my eye and realize that I'm not out of the woods yet. My first instinct is to grab Remy's hand.

I give her my Beauty Queen smile back and pull Remy an inch closer. "Yes. So nice."

Her eyes wander down to our linked hands and she chuckles lightly. "I didn't even think you two were friends!"

Gag. She's obviously referring to our FIRST meeting. The incident that got me in this giant crap-pile mess in the first place. Remember? When she caught me snooping from the comfort of Remy's closet? And she automatically assumed I was some scorned ex-lover? I totally should have listened to Pete...

I don't really know what to say, so I go to my fall-back smile and shrug. I swear, every time I do that, I get awesome points and a wicked chill runs up my spine. I can feel myself becoming one with the awesome.

"Well, you make a very cute couple."

I squeeze Remy's hand as tightly as I can. It's meant to hurt. It's meant to bring him to his knees, crying out in pain. She knows! She totally knows! He must have told her! Rather than falling to his knees at my mercy, he squeezes back like, eight times as hard.

My thoughts of pain and anguish are distracted by Logan listing off the battle partners for the day's session. This is it. This is totally it right?

God has a sick sense of humor. Logan is going to pair Rogue up with Emma, unwittingly aiding in the little bitches untimely demise.

"Hey, Snow White." Logan furrows his brow and flips the folder open. "Chuck didn't brief me on your powers."

She grins that Chesire Cat smile again that I can just feel is directed at me and shrugs. "I'm a telepath."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh crap...

She totally raped my brain, didn't she! And now she's out for my awesome points!

DAMN!

I look up at Rogue, who is doing her best to look like she doesn't care, but I can totes see through it.

The truth is, she knows this sucks. No matter how much I throw myself on Remy, bitch is gunna know it's an act.

And that means he's fair game.
