Thank you all my reviewers, you guys are great! Thanks for the info Red witch, i didn't know DOR was set a day after Hex factor, i've had to change my fic a wee bit, but it works out better now.
Chapter 7 - Defeat hurts.
All the students in the Xavier institute were under the weather. Scott had gone upstairs to sulk and everyone else was just moping around the house. Kurt, on the other hand, had decided enough was enough and was trying to cheer everyone up.
"Come on guys", he said, "so, ve lost. Eets one to a hundred".
"I guess so", said Kitty, "but we still sucked, big time".
"I know", said Kurt, "vho vants a game of happy families".
"Oh shut up Wookie boy", snapped Rogue, she then squeaked and put her hand over her mouth.
"Vhat did i say?", asked Kurt, looking hurt.
"It wasn't me", pleaded Rogue, "it was Toad. Get out of ma'h head Swamp Breath!".
"Ugh. I forgot you absorbed him", said Kitty, "how am i, like, supposed to be able to sleep tonight knowing he's in the room too....sort of".
Rogue gave a giggle.
"That wasn't nice", she said, trying to stop a smile.
"Oh God, she's having a conversation with her head again", said Evan, pointing to Rogue.
"What is it scaring ya'll porcupine?", teased Rogue.
She stuck her tounge out at him. Unfortunately, she had forgotten Todd's mutant power. Instead of sticking out a little, her tounge shot out six feet, knocking a vase off a table. Her tounge shot back in quickly, wich gave a whiplash effect, causing Rogue to fall backwards.
"Ouch", she groaned, rubbing her cheek, "man... a'h gotta start cuttin' Toad some slack. This isn't as easy as it looks".
She then noticed the broken vase.
"Uh oh", she said, then blinked and looked anoyed, "no, we can't just 'hide' it".
"I really don't like it when you do that", pointed out Jubilee, backing away slightly, "it's creepy".
"When ya'll get voices in YOUR head, ya'll will understand", said Rogue, pulling a face.
She sighed and picked up the pieces of the vase.
"How am a'h supposed ta fix this now", she said, shaking her head.
"I'll...go get some glue", said Bobby with a chuckle, walking off.
"Yeah, glue, that'll work....eeeewwwww no that will NOT work", shouted Rogue, "get outta ma'h head!. I don't care if it's fun. Ya'll almost as bad as Pietro".
"As creepy as it looks", said Sam thoughtfully, "it's kinda...funny. Like listening to a one-sided telephone converstaion".
"A'h wouldn't call it funny", sulked Rogue, "would YOU like Toad running around in YOUR head".
"I don't think any of us vould", said Kurt with a chuckle.
"No, ya'll can't kill him", said Rogue, massaging her forehead.
"Errr..Rogue", said Scott, walking downstairs, "i think you'd better go to the danger room. You know, run a bit of...Toad out of your system".
"Woah, flashback", said Rogue, shaking her head, then glared at Scott, "ya'll nearly killed Todd in the danger room?. That was nice".
"Hey, he broke in", protested Scott.
"Yeah...yeah", said Rogue, waving her hand, and walking towards the danger room.
A few seconds later they heard her again.
"NO..thats not a dog, it's Rhane in wolf form".
Rhane trotted in with a puzzled expression on her face. She shifted into her normal form and blinked.
"Rogue was just talkin' to herself", she said, "she called me a dog".
"Rogue had a little 'acident' tonight", said Evan, "she absorbed Toad".
"Ahhhh", said Rhane, nodding knowingly, "that explains alot".
"How are you feeling now Scott?", asked Jean, looking up at thier leader.
"How do you think i feel?. We lost. To the Brotherhood!", said Scott with a sigh, "i mean, that is a huge loss. Huge!".
"Okay Scott", said Jean, "calm down. So we lost?. It was a first time thing. We didn't know what to expect. We didn't know that new girl was going to be there".
"I...guess so", said Scott with a sigh, "i just hope Alvers doesn't rub it in at school".
"Oh, you KNOW he's gonna", muttered Evan, crossing his arms, "i've ogtta deal with Pietro".
"Defeat happens to the best of us Evan", said Hank as he walked in, "we just have to learn to cope with it the best we can".
"I guess your right Beast", said Scott, "as usual".
By night time, all the students were exhasted and ready for bed. Rogue had run herself ragged in the danger room and had gone earlier. When Kitty had decided to go to bed however, she couldn't see her roommate anywhere.
"Rogue?", she asked carefully, "you haven't been kidnaped have you?".
"A'hm up here", came a voice abover her head.
Kitty looked up to see Rogue hanging upside down from the ceiling.
"Toad's powers still, like, haven't worn off then?", asked Kitty with a giggle.
"No, a'h could do this all the time", said Rogue saracstically, "a'h was just keepin' quiet about it".
"Nice to see you still have his, like, wonderfully charming personality too", chuckled Kitty.
"Sorry", said Rogue, dropping to the floor and climbing into bed, "a'hm just gonna....sleep him off".
"He'd better be gone in the morning", muttered Kitty.
"He says 'he loves you too'", said Rogue with a smirk.
"Ugh", was all Kitty could reply before turning the light off, "goodnight Rogue".
The next morning, Kitty found her roomate sitting up in bed. He eyes were puffy and their were several damp tissues scattered around her bed.
"Rogue?", said Kitty sleepily, "you okay?".
"No", wimpered Rogue, "a'h had the worst night since...since...a'h absorbed Mangeto's memories. Man, Todd's had a nasty past".
"How nasty?", said Kitty, putting an arm around her friend.
"You know ma'h rule Kitty", said Rogue firmly, "a'h don't talk about other people's pasts. It's not right. Lets just say, that ah'm depressed enough to just sit at home and eat lots and lots of chocolate ice cream".
"Ouch", said Kitty, wincing, "you want me to make you some hot chocolate?".
"That would be nice", said Rogue with a weak smile, "at least he's gone now".
"Yeah, do me a favor Rogue", said Kitty, "like, never touch Todd again, okay?".
"No problem there", said Rogue, following Kitty downstairs.
There's another chapter done. There aren't many people out ther that picked up on the fact tjhat Rogue absorbed Todd in Hex factor (this coming from the girl who's only seen screensnaps), so i thought i'd do a bit on it. So there!. :P Until next time then....
