Chapter 2

Disclaimer: umm, potato chips. Oh, hi ::blushes:: I don't own anything.

Note: if they make peter a big char. In the show they better bring in his little sister!



"Dangit Cajon! Don't surprise me like that!" shouted john.

"Sorry homme, here she is," replied gambit. He jumped down of the window ledge and set rogue down on the bed. Most of the wounds they could see were all cleaned up. She obviously had a little Logan healing factor in her because they were all scabbed over.

Rogue opened her eyes and moaned.

"Oh gawd, ow," she said softly.

"What hurts?" asked john. Peter was busy getting food at the restaurant down stairs. Remy was getting some more bandages.

"Right here, Ah don't know what it is. But ow, man does it hurt," she pointed to the middle of her chest, about two inches below her bra.

"Oy, here be some gloves, lets do dis," he flipped up her shirt and the two of them saw what looked like a broken needle stuck through her. It was bleeding quite a bit. It was about 3mm in diameter.

John muttered a few curse words that I cant repeat with out raising the rating to NC-17.

"Ok," said remy, "how we gunna get dat out?"

"The traditional way, pull." Said john. (Haha, movie crack)

"Chere, can ya here me?" asked remy. Rogue slowly nodded her head. "Hold on, dis is gunna hurt."

He and john both worked it out. They knew rogue was really hurting but she didn't cry out. When the 10-inch long needle was out of her chest rogue had had it and she passed out.

John looked at the needle.

"Blimy, there's still some stuff in this thing, grab sommat for it, will ya?"

Remy grabbed a bottle cap off the bed stand and held it under it. A thick blue liquid dropped into the bottle cap.

"What in da flamin' hell is dis?" he asked.

"I dunno, but I doubt its good," said john.

After about 10 minuets of waiting for peter, john asked, "what is she gunna wear, I mean she cant keep wearing this, its all full of holes and it just isn't decent?"

"One o' us should go out and get her a dress or sommat and tomorrow we can go let her pick out some more clothes, ya know, like ones in her own style."

"Well that makes sense, I gunna go do that. Can I trust you to stay alone with a girl for a little while remy?" asked john cracking a smile.

"Oui sir," said remy faking innocence. John had to fight back a fit of laughter.

John walked out. As he slammed the door rogue woke up.

"Oh, hi," she muttered.

"Can I get ya anything chere?" asked remy kindly.

"Yeah, could ah have some water please?" she asked weakly.

Remy sat her up and handed her a glass. He then had to help her sit up.

They sat in silence. Remy still had his hand on her back to keep her up and rogue help the glass with a dazed look on her face.

Peter walked in the door carrying a plastic bag.

"Hamburgers any one?" he asked happily. He handed one to rogue, then remy. He then looked around and asked, "ok, what did you do to the poor ausie?"

"Nuthin," said remy through a mouth full of fries.

"Then where the hell is he?" asked peter starting to get worried.

"He went to get the little girl here sommat to wear. He be back right about," john walked in the door caring a bag from JC Penny's, "now."

"Thanks," said john as he grabbed a milk shakes, "I was really needing some tucker." (Did I say that right?)

When she was finished rogue stretched out and went to sleep on the bed the boys were using as a table. When they were done, instead of going to sleep they all talked to one another. Peter sat on the bed next to the one rogue slept in. remy sat next to her with a hand on her shoulder. John sat backwards in a chair somewhat in between the two beds. Together they formed a triangle.

"Ok, let's go over some of the questions she will ask us," said peter, the some what leader.

"Yeah, first off: why did we save her?" asked john.

"What we tell her: she is a mutant and no matter what side we still have to look out for our own," said peter.

"The real reason," said remy, "wit' her new powers she can go an zap folks wit' out even touchin' 'em and even reuse the powers. This would over whelm the guards and cause a whole lotta trouble. Not to mention what was supposed to come next." The three of them collectively shivered. "Besides, the x jerks went gunna go get her. They had the chance and they left her. And if they did get her they wouldn't be able to help her.

"Not to mention that baldly cant help to much with those same powers because she doesn't have any memories of them and so he wouldn't be able to help. He would just sit there as she drained and possibly kill every one she came near. Even with out touching," said john.

"Oh yeah, "said remy, "that has nothing to do with the x jerks not bein' able ta help her."

"Hey! Nock it off both of you! Do you want to wake her up?" asked peter. They all looked up at her from the ground where they sat. She looked so sweet in her torn up out fit, asleep under the thick red covers. Even with a big purple bruise on her left cheek she looked beautiful.

They all looked at her for a moment before snapping back to it.

+ Summers gave her up for some red headed femm? + Remy asked himself. + He a definite Cooyon+ (crazy/stupid person).

"Right, next thing I'm sure she'll ask: why don't we want her to leave?" asked peter, "what we tell her: we have taken a liking to her and that we wont let her go back to a team that deserted her."

"Real reason," said john, "well, that and that if she used her powers to fight, which I'm sure the chrome-dome would make her do, it would get all freaky and she would blow a fuse and just start destroying stuff. That's more of an add on then the real reason. I think we will get a long great."

"If she don try ta kill us," muttered remy. Peter glared at him.

"Next question, where do we get all our money?" asked peter, "we tell her the boss man sends it to us as sort of a pension."

"Real source!" said remy in a falsy happy voice, "the boss man sends it ta us as a thank ya for not lettin' her destroy the world!"

"I don't think she would destroy the world," said john.

"If we left her on her own for long enough she would," remy said.

"She just might. Ain't that sad? Any thing else you can see her asking?"

"Why we don't have to fight, and why we keep moving," said john.

"Lets tell da truth on dat one ok?" asked remy, "no fightin' 'cuz da boss found a new team a Schwegmann's Bag (whole lot more) stronger den us. And movin' so no one finds out we a minor living with out an adult."

"Hey, don't I count?" asked peter.

"Your only 20, I don't think you count as a legal guardian even with a 19 year old, how old are you remy? Wha- oh yeah an 18 year old, and well, um, nothing else to go on," said john.

"Dat made no sense at all homme."

"Deal with it," replied john. They were always sort of fighting. They were really good friends but they still bickered.

Rogue rolled over and said something in her sleep.

"What did she say?" asked john.

"Sommat like "country music sucks" remy might of heard wrong," said remy putting his hand on her back.

"I think you did, well whatever. Lets go to bed before we wake her up," said peter.

"Yeah, imagine how loudly she would curses and scream and rant and-" john was cut short by remy.

"I'd rather not," he said.

The three then laid down all around the room. Peter the bed next to rogue's. Remy took an armchair. And john lay down on a sofa. They didn't want her to wake up all alone in a new place. She would probably panic and start to yell for somebody to come out and attack her already. Not what they needed to do, cause a seen where they were already looked down apon. But maybe they should of left her alone. That is, judging by how she reacted to waking up surrounded by three boys she didn't even know the names of.



Hi-de-ho! This will lighten up later on. It will be more about them becoming friends and just acting weird. Rogue might not remember what happened while she was in the room with them, so this gives me an interesting little idea to play with. nobody will die in this fic (why the hell did I say that? It was really off topic) another off topic note is this, I don't hate jean and Scott, they are just fun to bash. That and after leaving her rogue mite chew them out, but it wont be a huge thing. (No bigger then I've heard it is in the show). Another off topic note is about original writings. Does anyone actually read them? (more in my bio if you want my opinion on that.)
