Chapter 6. Lance is actually responsible...


When Rogue started to wake up again, not many hours later, Pietro and Lance
was sitting by her side.

"Hey!" Lance said.

"We tried to call the mansion but nobody answered" Pietro said softly.

"Ah don't need them taking care of me" Rogue answered a little harsh.
Lance raised an eyebrow.

"Well you do need someone to take care of you, 'cause you're not okay"

"Ah am too okay"
She started to take of the bandages from her left wrist when Pietro grabbed it.

"I don't think thats a good idea"
Rogue rolled her eyes but let Pietro attatch the bandage again.

Rogue knew that the boys had questions about why she tried to committ suicide
and why she came there, they just didn't dare to ask.

"I didn't plan it" she said after a while of silence.

"The suicide?"

"Yeah, it had been a bad day and Ah felt lahke the whole world was crashing down and it felt
like a good idea"

"It wasn't, you scared us bigtime" Lance answered.

"Sorry 'bout that, but Ah'm okay now"

"You were stuck to a bed unconsious yesturday and you fainted when you got here" Pietro remarked.
Rogue sighed.

"We have to call the x-geeks Dr McCoy knows what to do if something happens we don't"
Lance said with a serious look.

"Ah'm fine nothing will happen"

"How do you know for sure?"

"Ah don't...but Ah don't want them all to tell me what a stupid thing Ah did, and they will"

"Well they will probably come here soon"

"Ah guess Ah can' escape it then" Rogue sighed.

"We can always tell them to shut up" Pietro grinned.

Rogue smiled weakly.

"Are you hungry or thirsty or anything?" Lance asked.

"Actually Ah am a little hungry and ah have an urge for apples"

"Apples?" Pietro looked confuced in a wierd way.

"Ah dunno why..."

"Pietro go buy apples" Lance ordered.

Pietro sighed and left.

On his way back home he saw Kitty and Kurt and froze, considering telling them about Rogue,
they was obviously looking for her.

"Fuzz-boy" he yelled and as expected got Kurt's attention.

"Pietro, Rogue is gone we can't fi...."

"She's at the brotherhood house" Pietro said before Kitty could finish what she was saying.

"Vhat is she doing there?" Kurt asked.

"Probably still lying on the couch talking to Lance... I dunno she showed up a few hours ago
and fainted, so you know"


Kitty and Kurt followed Pietro back to the Brotherhood house.
Todd and Fred had woken up and Todd was talking with Rogue while Lance and Fred was in the kitchen.



"Apples for the lady" Pietro said and gave Rogue the bag with apples.
"Thanks" Rogue accepted with a smile.

She noticed Kurt and Kitty and her smile faded.
Pietro and Todd had gone into the kitchen to leave them alone.

All three were silent for a while.

"Look we know you don't want any lecturings so we won't give you any,
we just want to know that you're okay now" Kitty said softly.

"Thanks Kit, Ah'm okay" Rogue smiled as Kitty sat down across from her.
Kurt, still silent, also sat down.

"Vhen did you vake up?" Kurt asked.

"Ah don't know, ah just woke up and left Ah think"

"Do you vant to leave the x-men?"

"Ah don't know, Kurt, Ah feel at home at the instetute but Ah feel accepted here"

"You are accepted at the instetute" Kitty said.

"Not like Ah am here, at the instetute people are still afraid of mah powers here it's no big deal"
