Part 2: To stay or Go
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!....."
The insist beeping continued, Rogue buried her head into the pillow. Praying it would stop on it's own. Of course it didn't, the obnoxious sound droned on. Groaning she gave up the fight, opening her eyes she glared at the clock. Briefly she considered throwing in against the wall and going back to sleep. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, the sleepy girl made her way across the room to turn off the clock. Which had been moved out of arms reach, after the death of 3 other alarms. She could already hear the sounds of everyone's daily rituals. An argument between Kitty and Evan could be heard, as they squabbled over who got to use the bathroom first. She was sure that Kurt had already slipped in while they were distracted. Bits of conversation could also be heard through the jarred door. Grabbing her cloths Rogue headed downstairs to wait on the line for the bathroom. She sighed quietly another normal day in the manor.
Routine, during the dry spells between, explosions, attacks, rescue missions and what ever else you could think of. Life at the manor became very black in white, wake up, breakfast, school, dinner, bed. Things had gotten so very boring, she wanted to cry. If just something would happen, anything! Anything that could temporally disrupt the routine. Rogue leaned against her locker, checking
the clock. 10:30 close to 5 hours left. Damn was her only thought as she went back to following the routine.
Remy sifted, rolling over onto his side staring at the nearby wall. It was too hot out, it wasn't even summer yet and already the temperature had rose to the 90's. He concentrated on the sweltering heat of the early afternoon. It was a safer to think about the weather then of recent problems. The guild of thieves was in competition with another group, leading to quite a few attacks upon the guild members. He had been in 4 fights with in the past 2 weeks, things were getting pretty bad. Nobody had died...yet. Going on a road trip was beginning to look good, escape the heat and the fights. While Remy was always up for a good brawl, he didn't care for this type. There was more to a fight between a rival then just beating up some annoying idiot. It was more tense, and more calculated. He frowned pulling himself up from the inviting bed. So much for thinking about the weather. Climbing out the open window, he sat on the fire escape. Not caring that all he had on was a pair of black boxers, Remy mused over what he should do about the guild. Leave or stay? Times like this made him wish he had someone to ask for advice. Leaving might look like the act of a coward, but staying was the act of an idiot. All of instincts screamed for self-preservation, while what loyalty he had for the guild demanded he stay and fight. Remy focused on the grimy streets below him, he had promised many things in his short life. One was to visit the green-eyed belle, he meant to keep that one. He got to his feet, climbing back inside.
Remy shouldered his bag, marching down the steps of the apartment. Carefully avoiding the broken one, he made his way outside. He had decided to visit Rogue. And then..... well he didn't want to think about that right now. 'Positive thoughts right? Just remember to think positive thoughts, you don't wanna upset the chere.' Securing the bad to his motorcycle, he started her up. Smiling in satisfaction as it thrummed, he loved that bike. Tearing down the street, he
headed for the highway.
