"No, but you someone told." Lance said eyeing Scott walking quickly down the street.
Rogue looked. "He can` go in there."
"Stand clear of everything." Lance warned Rogue as she backed up. Lance waited until Scott was close to the door of the Seafood Cafe. His eyes started to turn white and he stomped his foot down as tremors went though the street.
Scott balanced himself against the wall and saw Lance across the street. Lance calmed down and Rogue stuck her head out of the alley motioning for Scott. Scott sighed and hurried across the street. "Rogue what are you doing here, and with him?"
"Hey chill out Summers, she came to someone she could trust." Lance told him.
Scott decided to ignore Lance's response and looked at Rogue. "How did ya know where ah was?"
"Kitty and Jean told us everything." He said. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Scott, Alex is your brother. Ah couldn` do that to ya."
"So this is why you were at they're room in the hotel?"
Rogue nodded sadly. Scott sighed and glared at Lance. "You do know people could have been hurt."
"Yeah, well I had Rogue stay out of the way so she wouldn't." Lance said folding his arms over his chest. "She didn't want you in there so I had to do something."
"Is Alex in there?"
"Yes." Rogue said in a small voice.
"And the girl?"
Rogue looked at Lance who sighed. "Yeah, she's in there too. Talked to one of the waiters actually. He said the girl has long blonde hair and is really ditzy." He looked at the door of the restaurant and smiled. "Stay here and keep out of sight."
"But...." Rogue started and saw Alex come out of the restaurant alone looking around.
Scott took Rogue's gloved hand. "Come on." He pulled her behind a dumpster as Lance came out of hiding.
"What you finally remember who my friends and I are?" Lance asked him.
"Yeah, from that Asteroid M." Alex said going across the street angrily. "You got a problem?"
"Yeah, I do. The problem is you."
"And why is that?"
"You're girlfriend isn't blonde for one thing."
Alex growled softly. "Look, what I do with my life is none of your business."
"No but what you're doing behind Rogue's back is."
Alex chuckled. "I'm not doing anything behind Rogue's back. And if I was it doesn't concern you." He said turning to head back to the restaurant.
"I'm afraid it does." Lance said grabbing his arm.
"Alex, are you okay?" A small voice asked.
Rogue gulped and took a peek along with Scott and saw a pretty girl with long blonde hair heading towards Lance and Alex. She latched onto Alex's arm. Rogue could feel the tears burning her eyes and turned away. "Scott..."
Scott looked at Rogue and leaned against the dumpster. "Don't worry." He whispered to her.
"Christina I asked you to stay in the restaurant."
"I know, but I got all worried about you." She said smiling at him. "Who's your friend?"
Lance chuckled. "I'm not his friend. I'm a sort of friend of his girlfriend."
"But you can't be my friend, cause I don't know who you are."
"His girlfriend in New York."
"Oh, well he broke up with her didn't you sweetie?" Christina asked kissing Alex's cheek.
Alex didn't answer. He kept glaring at Lance. "Can we go now?"
"Sure go ahead, but you know once I get back to the hotel, I'm going straight to talk with Rogue."
"Who's Rogue?"
"A very good friend of Marie's." Lance said as Alex took Christina's hand and went back into the restaurant.
Lance shook his head and went behind the dumpster shocked at what he saw. Scott was cradling Rogue in his arms who was crying. "Hey Rogue come on. Let's go back to the hotel." He said putting his hand out.
Rogue looked up at him. "Okay." she said taking his hand as he helped her to her feet.
Scott stood up as well. "So why exactly did you do it?"
"Do what?" Lance asked.
"Stick up for Rogue like that."
"Ask your girlfriend." Lance told him. "She knows."
"Vhere are they?" Kurt asked pacing in girls room.
"Dude will you chill out." Evan said. "They'll be back soon."
Kitty sighed. "Evan's like right."
Kurt sighed and sat next to Kitty. "If he hurts her."
"Who hurts her?" Jean asked entering the room.
"Lance or Alex."
"I'm sure Lance won't hurt Rogue. She just has to take off her glove and Scott should be with them." She assured him.
"Hey Lance." Rogue sniffled as they got off the elevator.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Thanks for helping me ya know."
"Well, I promise when we get home we'll be the best of enemies again." Lance chuckled.
"She's right though." Scott said. "Guess you're not that big of a creep after all, well just don't quote me on that."
Lance nodded. "Well, I have a witness."
"Ah didn` hear anythin` ya'll said." Rogue said slightly smiling.
"You're sweet, you know that." Lance said shaking his head as they went into they're rooms.
"Rogue are you like okay?" Kitty asked as Rogue and Scott entered the room.
"She'll be fine." Scott said answering for Rogue. "But when Alex is around make sure one of you guys are near Rogue."
"Vhy?" Kurt asked.
"So ah don` take my gloves off." Rogue said.
"So it was true?" Jean asked.
"Yeah, let's just say I'm going to have a talk with my little brother later."
