Chapter 2: Playtime
Gideon woke from his unconscious state to find himself lying in his bedroom again with Logan watching over him. Once Logan realized that the boy was awake, he groaned and moved over to sit next to him with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Alright, bub. Spit it out. What can you do?" Logan asked making Gideon widen his eyes at his intimidating nature until Rogue walked into the room to see Gideon was awake.
The two looked at one another to the point that Rogue blushed before looking over to Logan.
"Professor X told me he wanted to speak with you," Rogue said making Logan groan before standing up and walking toward the door only to stop beside Rogue.
"He isn't allowed out of this room," Logan said glancing down at Rogue before leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.
"Rogue?" Gideon spoke while blinking his eyes.
"I wanted to thank you for saving me an Kitty from Sabertooth in the forest," Rogue said in which she blushed and looked away.
"I...didn't save you..." Gideon admitted while looking away causing Rogue to immediately look at him confused.
"What do you mean? Weren't you the one that took care of that big ol cat?" Rogue asked confused in which Gideon looked up at her and shook his head slowly.
"That was Kenshin..." Gideon answered.
"Kenshin? Who's that?" Rogue asked blinking her eyes.
"Kenshin is one of seven personalities living within Gideon's mind," Professor X answered as he entered the room with the help of Storm.
This causes Rogue to stand to her feet and stammer slightly.
"Professor? What are you doing here?" Rogue asked looking at him while Professor Xavier simply laughed softly and waved his hand.
"There is no need to be alarmed, Rogue. Logan has told me all he needed," Xavier said before turning his attention to Gideon. "Would you mind accompanying me to my officer...both of you?"
Gideon silently nodded his head along with Rogue.
"Excellent. I will be waiting in my office now," Xavier said before he and Storm left the room leaving both inside alone for now.
"...I wanted to ask...do you know how your able to touch me while others can't?" Rogue asked looking over her shoulder at Gideon only to see him shake his head slowly. "Maybe Professor can answer some of our questions,"
A moment of silence came upon the room before Rogue smiled and looked over her shoulder to look at Gideon while extending her hand out for him to take.
"Come on then. Professor X won't wait forever," Rogue said in which Gideon smiled and took her hand before she walked out of the room leading the boy to Professor Xavier's office.
As Rouge locked hands with Gideon, most of the students watched in horror before their expression switched from fear to complete confusion.
"I can get used to this," Rogue commented with a smile only for them to eventually come across Professor Xavier's door. "Although I do hope we aren't in trouble."
Gideon walked up beside Rogue and smiled before bringing his free hand to place it upon the hand she was holding his right hand.
"Not in trouble...Professor is worried..." Gideon said with a smile in which Rogue only nodded her head.
"I'll take your word for it," Rogue said before entering the room to see Xavier, Storm, and Logan.
"Professor..." Gideon spoke looking at Xavier before his eyes looked at Storm than Logan. "Trouble?"
"No Gideon you are not in trouble. We are only concerned about everyone's safety," Xavier said placing his hands together.
"So...me not...safe?" Gideon asked while tilting his head slightly.
"You are safe...here but we need someone to watch over you just in case something were to happen and from what I can tell...Gideon has some interest in you Rogue," Xavier pointed out causing the young teenager to blush while looking at the ground.
"We...same...I feel...safe with her...she makes me...smile," Gideon admitted with a gentle smile.
"We...same...feel safe...with her...she make me...smile, " Gideon said looking at Rogue going more read causing him to tilt his head and bring his hand to her forehead. "Rogue...sick?"
Rogue simply shook her head unsure what was going on before Gideon looked back at the others seeing the surprise on their faces just like the others.
"Something...wrong?" Gideon asked looking at everyone.
"It's nothing...how is this possible though?" Xavier asked blinking his eyes.
"You don't...experience any pain, Gideon?" Storm asked making Gideon grow every more confused.
"No pain...why ask?" Gideon asked looking at Storm.
"You don't know do you kid?" Logan questioned while narrowing his eyes.
"Know what?" Gideon asked turning his attention to Logan.
"Rogue's is absorption...not just powers but life force to. No one has been able to keep akin to skin contact with her...without being intentionally drained by her mutant abilities. So how is it you're able to keep contact with her without even a hint of pain from you, " Logan questioned while taking a step toward Gideon.
This caused the fragile boy to quickly hide behind Rogue with his eyes filling up with fear. Xavier immediately caught this and looked toward Logan.
"Logan calm down. We do not want to scare him, " Xavier said.
"Maybe I should scare him. What's the worst that can happen?" Logan asked while growling at Gideon
"...because his negative emotions allow others to take place, " Xavier answered.
This made Logan look at the professor confused but backed off a little.
"What do you mean others?" Logan asked turning to face Xavier now.
"From what we have seen so far Gideon is the main body. The host if you will. Within him waits seven others. Each one linked to a negative emotion, " Xavier answered with a sigh.
Logan looked at the ground before turning his attention back to Gideon.
"Which one is linked with fear?" Logan asked looking at Gideon.
"From a trusting source...Karas, " Xavier answered.
"And what can he do?" Logan asked.
"We do not know. We did not want to risk him coming out, " Xavier admitted with a sigh.
"Who gave you this information?" Logan asked confused.
"Another one of Gideon's personalities. He calls himself Kenshi and I am sure he listening to us right now," Xavier said looking at Gideon.
"All listen..." Gideon said peeking out from Rogue's shoulder.
"What are you saying, kid?" Logan asked with a raised brow.
"All are...listening. They see...what I..see...and hear...they wait..." Gideon said while looking down at the ground.
"They're all listening? All seven of them?" Logan asked with narrowed eyes.
"No...all but one...last one...tired. He sleeps..." Gideon corrected.
"...out of the six that are awake...which one is the most dominant right now?" Logan continued to ask.
"...Kenshi called him...the broken. The five who are awake fear him. Sadly, he is not the strongest out of the seven..." Xavier said as Rogue blinked her eyes.
"So, your saying Gideon has multiple personalities and they all are linked to a negative emotion?" Rogue asked completely lost on what was going on as she looked around the room.
"Gideon needs someone to watch over and I think he has chosen you, Rogue, " Xavier said looking at the young girl.
"Why me?" Rogue asked before slowly turning around to look into Gideon's eyes once more.
"I trust you, " Gideon answered with a soft smile and a light blush which Rogue had red cheeks.
"You really want Rogue to watch this kid?" Logan argued while looking at Gideon.
"She is the only one to not make him scared without Kenshi to say so. It was only after Kenshi said we can be trusted did he start being more open but...Rogue...he trusted her the moment they locked eye contact, " Xavier explained.
"Plus. Your approach did scare him, Logan. We can't have you watching out for him if he's scared of you, " Scott added while he leaned against the wall.
"Logan...intimidating..." Gideon said looking at Logan now in which he sighed and looked away.
"What do you say, Rogue? Can you watch over him?" Xavier asked in which Rogue turned to look at him before turning her gaze back to Gideon.
"I can't watch him twenty-four seven though, " Rogue said looking at Gideon but could not break eye contact with him.
"You won't have to. We just need someone to watch over him when he goes to school here. Someone to help get along with and help him make more friends if possible, " Xavier said.
"...burden..." Gideon said with a gentle smile.
"What?" Rogue asked blinking her eyes.
"I don't...want to be...a burden...to you..." Gideon said opening his eyes and looking away from her.
Rogue stood there in silence before sighing heavily and nodding her head.
"I'll watch over him...but I can only watch him so much. After all, his classes aren't going to be the same as mine, " Rogue pointed out in which Xavier nodded in agreement.
"Scott. Jean. Can I trust you both in making sure he stays calm in other areas if he is in the same class as you?" Xavier asked making Scott and Jean look at one another before smiling.
"We'll do what we can Professor, " Scott answers as the two looks at Xavier.
"Gideon, has Kenshi ever talked to you? Any information will help," Xavier said looking at Gideon.
"I...know but...speech...terrible," Gideon said looking around at everyone with a sad expression.
"You can say that again," Logan said looking away in which Gideon's eyes closed as his form started to change to Kenshi once more.
"Your a meaner mister," Kenshi spoke opening his eyes and looking at Logan with poofed up cheeks.
Logan turned and looked at the child that took Gideon's place and raised a brow.
"Hello, again Kenshi. I apologize for Logan's behavior. He is not the friendliest of our family," Xavier said making Kenshi nod in understanding.
"You have questions?" Kenshi said with a soft smile.
"If you don't mind me asking but what can you all do?" Rogue bluntly answered in which Kenshi blinked his eyes at her forwardness.
"I like you," Kenshi pointed out with a smile while looking Rogue.
"What?" Rogue asked growing flustered.
"You're very forward. Not many people have that...I mean they do but they come off as mean or rude," Kenshi said before laughing softly. "As for what we can do...I have the power to manipulate peace."
"Peace?" Logan repeated.
"I can calm almost any situation down," Kenshi explained while clapping his hands together.
"Any proof of that bub?" Logan asked growing annoyed.
"If that is what it takes for you to trust me," Kenshi said looking at Logan and watching his frustrated expression fade away.
"What...did you do?" Logan asked feeling peace of mind now.
"I have eased your mind. All the frustration you had are now gone...sadly it only works on those who are in eyesight. If I cannot see them, I cannot bring peace to them," Kenshi explained before looking at Xavier.
"That is a very interesting power. Are you the reason why the others cannot escape?" Storm asked.
"Yes...and no. I am half the reason but Gideon is the other. Although I help him with calming the others...Gideon can keep them in line...just that it's impossible right now," Kenshi said shaking his head and sighing heavily.
"What do you mean impossible right now? You mean he has the power to tell everyone what to do?" Rogue asked with wide eyes.
"Yes. Gideon has the ability to command his emotions..." Kenshi said with a soft smile.
"And the one who sleeps is not his is it?" Xavier asked making Kenshi glance at the professor before looking at the ground.
"You're right...the one who sleeps is not an emotion that manifested itself...it is something that hides inside of him...none of us knows what it is...not even the Broken," Kenshi admitted before shaking his head and smiling once more. "But enough of that. You asked what everyone's powers are right?"
"That is correct. Seems we all got sidetracked with all these questions. If you please," Xavier said with a chuckle of his own.
"Very well. Then I will start off with Kenshin. His power is air manipulation. He acts more like a samurai than anything so be respectful and honorable...you'll have no problems with him," Kenshi said with a chuckle before it slowly started to fade away.
"What about this...Karas? What can he do?" Storm asked.
"Karas has telekinesis. The way he uses it is...frightening," Kenshi said shivering at the thought of Karas getting out.
"Why is it frightening?" Scott asked while taking a step forward.
"...he uses it to cut people. Any way you can think of how a serial killer plays with his target before eventually finishing them off. Karas...will do it," Kenshi answered looking at Scott.
"And the others?" Xavier said as to keep Kenshi on track.
"Right. Sorry," Kenshi said looking back at Xavier. "Next is Garuda with his ability of absorption."
"What does he absorb?" Logan asked.
"...anything...and everything...thankfully his hunger is limited. Once he has had his fill he will simply fall into a deep slumber until Gideon starves again," Kenshi answered.
"And this Kenraw fellow?" Logan asked. "The place where we found ya. Gideon said his name. Said Kenraw did it."
"Kenraw's ability is Impact Manipulation," Kenshi said making Logan groan.
"That explains it," Logan said while groaning and looking out the window.
"What do you mean? Where did you find Gideon at exactly?" Scott asked looking at Logan.
"This Kenraw fellow annihilated what used to be a school," Logan said with a sigh as he looked back at Kenshi.
"How?" Scott asked looking over at Xavier.
"Kenraw's power has no limit so long as he knows about it. He can snap his fingers and use it to create a powerful shockwave that matches that of a ton of explosives. That is Kenraw's power," Kenshi explained while closing his eyes.
"...what about the Broken? You warned me about him but I do not know what he can do. Care to help tell me about him?" Xavier said looking at Kenshi who nodded his head.
"His power is the most frightening of us all," Kenshi said looking up at the ceiling. "He has...nothing..."
"Nothing? What does that mean?" Storm asked blinking her eyes.
"If he has nothing then why is he so powerful?" Logan added looking at Kenshi with a raised brow.
"You do not understand..." Kenshi said chuckling and standing up while his arms hung by his sides. "He manipulates...nothingness..."
The room fell dead silent at Kenshi's answer.
"Nothingness..." Xavier said looking at the ground.
"Hard to fight against something that has nothing...isn't it," Kenshi said with a gentle smile before sighing and facing the ground. "I have answered all I can. It is time Gideon came back."
"One more question..." Rogue spoke causing Kenshi to turn and look at her with a smile before taking his chair and sitting down.
"One more question," Kenshi repeated.
"You said he can keep all his emotions in line...but he cannot do that right now. How can he take command?" Rogue asked making Kenshi blink his eyes.
"...strengthen his willpower. Currently, he is very weak-willed and breaks easily. Thus why we all exist. If he were to take command and have an iron-will than he would be able to use all our powers with ease...but he must hurry. Time...is not on his side," Kenshi said with a sad expression of his own before he faded away as his body shifted back into Gideon's fragile state.
"This is...most troublesome indeed," Xavier said looking at his desk before turning his gaze to Scott. "Summers, please take Gideon back to his room please...there is much I have to discuss with Storm and Logan..."
"Me?" Logan asked looking at Xavier while pointing at himself.
"I'll help Scott with taking Gideon to his room," Rogue insisted in which Xavier nodded his head as Scott and Rogue helped the fragile boy off his chair and out of the room.
"Are you sure you want that kid here Professor?" Logan asked looking at the door.
"Logan has a point. He as well as most of his emotions put the students here in grave danger," Storm added.
"If we can't help him what do you suggest? Kicking him out of the school into the world?" Xavier questioned while looking at Storm and Logan who remained silent. "We can help him...especially what Kenshi said to help us."
"What do you mean help us? All he did was tell us that any of the other emotions can tear this place apart and we would not be able to stop them," Logan pointed out.
"The only one we have to worry about is Karas. Since he is linked with fear...he is the most likely to come out," Xavier explained in which Storm looked at the ground.
"What about this...Broken fella? The one that can manipulate nothingness. What's his deal?" Logan asked narrowing his eyes.
"We do not have to worry about him...for now at least," Xavier answered.
"What do you mean for now?" Logan asked with a raised brow.
"I met with him when I entered Gideon's mind. Thankfully I was able to put him to sleep for the time," Xavier explained making Logan's eyes widen.
"What exactly is The Broken linked to? What emotion?" Logan questioned.
"...rage...absolute rage," Xavier answered looking into Logan's eyes. "If he ever gets out...he will seek me and only me out,"
"The Broken is unforgiving and will remember Xavier...we do not know what to do if he breaks out though," Storm added closing her eyes.
"...Kenshi said that Gideon can command them if he strengthens his will. How hard can that be?" Logan asked tilting his head while leaning against a wall.
"With how he is now Logan...very hard. I have seen his mind and saw just how much pain he has experienced. Abandoned when he was a baby and treated poorly for most of his childhood years. Due to his fragile body, I am not sure how we can help but...we must find a way," Xavier said moving to sit by the window and watched the sky. "Rogue might be our only hope..."
"You want Rogue to watch over a mutant that is stronger than any mutant on this planet?" Storm questioned.
"She is our only hope to strengthen Gideon's willpower," Xavier said looking over his shoulder at Logan and Storm.
-Next day-
Time passed as Gideon woke from his slumber due to Kenhi staying in control longer than expected before sitting up and bringing his hand to his head groaning.
"Head...hurt..." Gideon spoke before opening his eyes and looking around to find himself alone in his room.
The sun had already started to shine into the room in which Gideon slowly got up off his bed and walked to the blinds of his window to move it away allowing the sunlight to enter his room. His eyes looked at his plain room but smiled none the less to have something of his own before looking at his hands and sighed.
"Why am...I so weak?" Gideon asked himself before walking over to open his door to find Logan standing outside with his back against the wall.
Seeing Logan, Gideon blinked at this before slowly walking backward until the adult turned to see the boy was now awake.
"Gideon. I ain't here to hurt ya. Professor wants to talk to you out in the courtyard," Logan said turning his body to have his left side face the boy.
"Talk? About what?" Gideon asked confused as well as concerned.
"Why not ask him?" Logan said nudging his head for him to follow in which Gideon did after a second of thinking.
-Courtyard-
As Gideon met up with Xavier, Kitty and Kurt were currently preparing for their daily training. Gideon was confused about what the professor wanted to talk about although his attention was mainly on the boy who looked more like a blue demon.
"Ahh, Gideon I'm glad Logan did not give you any problems," Xavier said looking at Gideon with a smile before Logan stood by the Professors opposite side with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What are...they doing?" Gideon asked looking at Kitty who was holding a football in her hands.
"They are training," Logan answered.
"Training?" Gideon asked blinking his eyes while looking at Logan now.
"Yes. At this school, we help those who have a special gift to learn control," Xavier said as Logan gave the kids the okay before Kitty immediately started to phase through the trees while Kurt began to teleport after her.
Gideon stood there amazed at their training before he slowly looked down at his own hands.
"...I am..weak..." Gideon admitted in which Xavier turned and placed his hand on his wrist.
"Right now you are...but let us help you and we can make you strong," Xavier said looking up at Gideon with a confident smile.
"I...trust you...I want..to get...stronger..." Gideon said for the first time in his life with determination.
"Very..." Xavier paused before groaning in pain as he brought his hand to his forehead.
"Professor?" Logan said looking at Xavier.
"Jean has been kidnapped," Xavier said while opening his eyes and looking at Logan.
"I'm on it. Kurt go get Scott to help Logan," Xavier said in which the Nightcrawler nodded his head and teleported away leaving Kitty.
"What about...me?" Gideon asked looking at Xavier while pointing at himself.
"...I do not think it is safe for you to join them for now Gideon. There is still much we do not know about you nor do you know how to control yourself or your emotions either," Xavier explained in which Gideon nodded his head slowly while looking away. "Kitty. Can you take our friend here to speak with Storm?"
'Sleepy...' A voice rang out causing Gideon and Xaiver to widen their eyes before the fragile boy disappeared right in front of the professor in a cloud of smoke just like Kurt.
Xavier sat there and used his telepathy to try and spot what had happened as well as where Gideon was.
"How is that possible?" Xavier said opening his eyes and looking at Kitty.
"What happened?" Kitty asked looking at where Gideon just stood.
"...I don't know Kitty...but I hope to find out later," Xavier said before closing his eyes. 'Logan. Gideon is with Jean. I do not know how it was possible but it might be with the one who sleeps...hurry,'
"What now Professor?" Kitty asked standing by his side.
"I don't know..." Xavier answered as he opened his eyes.
-With Blob-
Gideon appeared to the right of Jean Grey earning a surprised look from the girl as well as Fredrick. It took only a second before Fredrick gritted his teeth and glared at Gideon.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" Fredrick demanded causing Gideon to fall on his rear and look at the blob with fear already growing in his eyes.
"I don't...know...I wanted...to help...Jean," Gideon admitted while scurrying backward to a wall while looking up at the large individual.
"Well, Jean doesn't need help! How about I help you out of this building? By throwing you out through the garage!" Fredrick shouted as he reached out for Gideon.
The moment Fredrick grabbed Gideon's arms and lifted him off the ground, the boy had passed out making the blob come to a stop and start laughing.
"And people laugh at me?" Fredrick commented before looking at Jean with a smile. "I'll be back after I throw this guy out,"
"How rude to throw away a playmate so soon before the fun starts," Gideon's lips moved before his form started to change right in front of Fredrick as well as Jean.
Jean's eyes widened remembering full well who was already beginning to take form.
"Fredrick run!" Jean shouted causing Blob to look at her confused until he felt his grip loosen.
"What?" Fredrick said look at his hands seeing that the once fragile boy had changed into a lean built young man with his black hair only stretching to the bottom of his neck.
"Let me show you how to really have fun," Karas spoke with a wicked grin while opening his eyes revealing them to be completely black.
"As if you can hurt me! I'm the Blob!" Fredrick shouted before reaching out to grab Karas who simply swayed his left hand causing the Blob's hands to change direction.
"As if I would let something like you touch me. You call yourself the Blob as if it is something special. You are right," Karas admitted before swaying his left hand across Fredricks's body which pushed him back instead. "Interesting."
"What was that? Trying to make me get the sniffles?" Fredrik asked with a chuckle before charging toward Karas again.
"I wonder," Karas spoke before swiping his left pointing finger at Fredricks's face and watching as a deep slit appeared from cheek to cheek earning a scream of pain. "Now we're getting somewhere!"
Fredrick brought his hands to his face as blood gushed down to the floor while Karas landed on the ground with his hands behind his back as he started to slowly dance toward him whistling softly.
"Stay away from me!" Fredrick shouted before bringing his left arm over in an attempt to close line Karas.
"Under I go," Karas spoke easily ducking under Fredricks's attack before flicking his middle finger at the Blob's visible eye and watched as his left eye popped like a water balloon earning another scream of pain from him as he collapsed on his back. "Ahh, I missed this so much. The fun I have missed for so long...although it has to be a little dull with someone of your...skin...but I am not picky,"
"Leave him alone!" Jean shouted in which Karas slowly turned to look at Jean.
"And what do we have here?" Karas asked before looking at Blob than back at Jean. "AH! I remember you now. The lady I wanted to play with till your Professor put me to sleep..."
For a bit, Karas slowly turned his body in a means to scan his surroundings to find no Professor present which caused him to laugh in excitement and glee.
"Who is not here right now. Oh, that's right...you were kidnapped," Karas spoke before Jean narrowed her eyes and slammed the male into the wall. "...surprises...on every corner..."
"You will give Gideon back!" Jean said gritting her teeth.
"I think I'll stay missy...after all...what can you do?" Karas said while widening his eyes going into a full-blown battle of minds against Jean. "Hurt me? I think not. You have trained a lot missy but...I far outclass you in terms of mind power,"
"Jean!" Logan shouted causing Karas' focus to break and look toward the direction of the noise allowing Jean to slam his body and head against the wall causing him to convert back to Gideon who laid on the ground with blood dripping from his lips.
"In here!" Jean shouted as the door that blocked them in was cut open revealing Logan running in with his claws at the ready.
His eyes fell upon an unconscious Blob as well as Gideon laying on the ground knocked out.
"What happened here?" Logan asked before walking over and cutting Jean free.
"Gideon...Karas took over...I had too," Jean said panting heavily while looking at Gideon.
"Jean!" Scott shouted as he entered the warehouse to see the scene before him. "What..."
"Karas came out to play...and from the looks of things...he was about to play with Blob and Jean here," Logan said causing Scott to look at Gideon and grit his teeth.
"Did he hurt you?" Scott asked looking at Jean.
"...no," Jean said looking at Scott before Rogue walked in only to have her eyes widen seeing Gideon laying on the floor.
"What did you do?" Rogue shouted as she shoved Logan out of the way to pick up Gideon's head to look at his body.
"She had to. If she didn't Jean would have been in the same condition as Fredrick," Scott answered in a means to defend Jean.
"I don't care. All I know is that Gideon needs medical attention as soon as possible," Rogue shouted while glaring at Jean before taking his arm and lifting him off the ground.
"Here let me..." Jean spoke before being pushed back by Rogue.
"You've done enough already! I don't need your help!" Rogue shouted before continuing toward the door where she saw Nightcrawler and Kitty.
"What happened?" Kitty asked with concern.
"Ask Jean. She'll tell you. Kurt can you take us to the school...Gideon needs to be treated," Rogue spoke in which Nightcrawler nodded his head and placed his hand on Rogue and Gideon before teleporting them out of the area.
"Jean...what exactly did you see?" Logan asked looking at Jean Grey now.
"...fear...I saw fear..." Jean said closing her eyes as tears started to roll from her eyes.
"It's okay. I'm here Jean," Scott said wrapping his arms around Jean.
"What do you mean fear?" Logan asked with Kitty standing by them.
"When I looked into Karas' eyes...all I saw...was the joy of pain. He inflicts pain for fun...amusement...entertainment. I have never come across anyone like that...ever," Jean admitted while opening her eyes and looking at Logan.
"...let's head back to the school...we got a lot to tell the Professor," Logan said turning and making his way to his bike.
-Institute: Medbay-
Gideon laid on the table with Rogue standing by his side. A soft gasp escaped Gideon's lips as he opened his eyes and sat up.
"I'm sorry!" Gideon shouted as tears started to run down his eyes.
"It's okay. You're being treated right now," Rogue spoke making Gideon look at her than scanned his surroundings. "What happened Gideon? Why were you there?"
"I...wanted to...help Jean. Than...a voice...called...I listened...and the nect...thing...I am...there..." Gideon tried to explain before remembering what Karas had done to Blob and almost to Jean. "Next thing...Karas comes...hurts...big guy...then...then..."
Gideon fell silent as he started to cry while laying flat against the bed.
"Jean is fine...you're the one who isn't," Rogue said while bringing her hands onto his right hand smiling.
"I am...dangerous..." Gideon admitted while looking at Rogue. "...aren't I?"
"We both are Gideon...we both are," Rogue said looking into Gideon's eyes while raising his hand to touch her cheek. "...but that does not mean we cannot look out for one another...right?"
"...right...I...get stronger...have to...I do not...want to hurt anyone...not anymore..." Gideon said closing his eyes and passing out once more while he held Rogues' hands in his.
"...that goes for me to Gideon," Rogue said while leaning forward and kissing his forehead.
/To be continued...
A little sneak peek at the one who sleeps.
What is he if not Gideon's emotion?
Thoughts about Karas?
