Changes Part 7By Dragonseizer
Mystique stood at the controls of the ship, Even though it was on autopilot and heading straight for their destination, there still had to be someone to stand watch. Look who was nominated she thought to herself, Why is it, that she always got the worst of the jobs while the others got to play. Mystique sat at on the chair staring into deep space, a huge vacuum in the sky with nothing but twinkling stars that most dream of seeing. Mystique was not so naive.
"It amazes me, Raven. I would have thought, by now you would have tried to crash the ship. Chaos! Isn't that your thing?" Alkia shouted at her as he checked all of the different controls in front of them.
"You, my dear don't know anything, so if you don't shut your mouth, ill shut it for you!" Mystique retorted without moving her body or expression. What was the point? He wasn't worth the effort?
"What are you doing here? You never wanted to take this gig back in the old days. Don't tell me you have grown a conscience or a Soul, Ha! Don't see why you care about saving the universe when it isn't your problem?"
Mystique turned to face him instantly; Alkia was seriously beginning to agitate her.
"Maybe I'm not here for the universe. Maybe i am here to make sure you keep your grubby paws off my daughter" Raven always knew when Alkia had something up his sleeve.
"Yes your daughter. She has developed much from the last time we met." He spoke calmly, turning back to the void in front of him.
"Don't think that I am the only one you have to watch for on this ship. I'm not so sure the X-men would like it very much if you do something to hurt one of their team mates trust me I know."
Alkia turned around at that, Could it be that Rogue-my Rogue - had turned away from the Brotherhood and joined up with the x-men?
"Trust. It is a word you do not know the meaning of, Raven. Never have and never will. I will never trust you." he called over his back as he closed the door on his way out. He had to talk to Rogue; had to find out if what Raven had told him was the truth.
"The feeling's mutual" retorted Raven watching him go with the coldest stare that only meant one thing. She was on the hunt and had chosen her prey.
Walking down one of the many hallways of the ship, Storm and Bishop were having a little conversation when all of a sudden Alkia bumped into them. He was coming from the control room. He had a total look of determination on his face.
"Most odd" Storm said, looking at the back of Alkia as he walked fiercely into the distance.
"What the total lack of politeness? An excuse me would have sufficed," Bishop replied sarcastically. Thinking how outraged Emma or Psylocke would be if they were here.
"No my friend from the fact that Alkia came from the control room. Isn't that were Mystique is stationed?" Ororo stated
" Pretty clear to me something is going on, something we don't know about," He said looking at the side of Ororo's face as they walked
" You are not the only one, Wolverine, too, has some doubt, everything is too black and white. From all of my experience, I concluded long ago that life is never so."
"Then I suggest we watch them, Storm. All of them, even Rogue, if need be. Even if it's to protect her against the other three, don't want any surprises, do we? "
Storm nodded at her friend in silent agreement.
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Come in," shouted unmistakeable soft Southern accent from the other side of the door were Alkia stood.
"Alkia, what are you doing here? Has a problem arisen?" Rogue exclaimed, getting up slightly at his presence
"No. I was just wondering when it was that you were going to tell me you joined the X-men?" He said over her sitting body accusingly.
"And what, may I ask, has that got anything to do with you? My business is my business. I'll share, if I feel like it. And I don't" she settled back down to reading her book the last thing she needed right now was for him to have found about her involvement with the X-men. God I hope this don't complicate things, Ok think girl go back to what you were doing don't let him know that you care. Rogues thoughts were interrupted when Mystique called over the intercom, "Everyone get up to the control room the planet is in site"
Rogue and Alkia looked at each other both with worried expressions, forgetting what their last conversation was about. They went to the control room to see the planet themselves. They made the trip in complete silence.
