Chapter 6, "Trusted"
Rogue was awakened the next morning to someone yelling outside of her room. When she moved closer to her door, she could've sworn it was Scott yelling.
"All I want to do is see that they're ok! Is that such a big deal?!"
Then she heard Magneto break in. "Mr. Summers..."
It was obvious from Scott's response he hadn't see Erik approach. "Your stupid guards won't let me see if my wife and friends are alright! They say its on your orders!"
Erik must have scowled or something, for one of the guards made a hasty reply. "You said that none of the X-men were to see each other, sir. Or did we misunderstand the order?"
Magneto's response was an angry one. "My orders were that they could not see the Rogue, but one of the men, or one of the women at a time may visit the quarters of their friends. Make sure that this mishap doesn't happen again."
The guard mumbled something that sounded like the affirmative, then just as Rogue was about to knock to get their attention, Magneto spoke again.
"And make sure he's out of the hallway before you bring Rogue out of her room."
Rogue sighed softly, the did knock, and that earned a jerked opening of the door, and a rather disturbed looking Magneto in her face. "Yes?" It was obvious he was trying to keep his anger under control, so Rogue made sure not to take any chances of angering him further. "Ah...Ah was jus' gonna ask when Ah'm supposed t' get mah breakfast Erik. Ah wasn't gonna bothah you."
Erik gave a heavy sigh and looked at Scott. "Mr. Summers, do you or don't you want to see your wife?"
With the reminder of his purpose for standing in the hall, Scott must have nodded.
"Then, by all means, go and see her. You're keeping your friend here from being allowed to eat her own breakfast."
Scott muttered what must have been some sort of apology, then a door opened and closed on the other side of Rogue's. With that matter finished, Erik gave Rogue a once-over. "Change, then you can meet me for breakfast Rogue. I'll give you your job for the day then."
Rogue watched for a moment as Erik left. He had let her know the exact location of her friends, let her talk to them, hear the orders given about them. Rogue sighed before moving back in her room to change. If Magneto would trust her that much without reason, then she'd just have to make sure she gave him a reason to trust her further.
