Chapter 7 - Possible hope
****
Rogue, Kitty, Sidney, Kurt and Bobby were walking along Bayville, they had been silent for a while. Sidney had her thoughts wrapped up in her decision to give her role up to Tally. Rogue on the other hand was looking at the object in her hands.
"Thanks for coming with me Sid", she said, "a'h need all the help a'h can get".
"Hey, we're family now, we do things like this together", said Sidney with a smile.
"Ja", said Kurt, "though i don't know vhy THEY came!".
Bobby and Kitty looked up.
"I'm here because Rogue is my roomate". said Kitty, "i want to give her support".
Everyone turned to look at Bobby.
"I was bored", he said with a shrug.
"Thanks guys", said Rogue, "a'h really hope this works".
"Ve'll if Forge can't build it, no one can", said Kurt.
"This Forge guy sounds cool", said Sidney, "can't wait to meet him".
"Why do i have a feeling something bad will happen?", said Bobby.
"Because with you around, it will", said Kitty.
"Hey!", said Bobby, "i am NOT a jinx".
"You're words, not mine", said Kitty.
"Okay guys, stop fighting!", said Kurt with a frustrated sigh, pointing to a house, "ve're here".
Rogue sighed, walking to the back of the house with the others and down to the basment door, giving it a knock. Forge had converted his basement into a lab...it meant that he didn't explode valuable parts of his home. It wasn't long before Forge opened the door, he smiled when he saw the others.
"Hey guys", he said, "what bring you guys down here?".
"Hi Forge", said Kurt, "ve need your experteese on something".
"Okay", said Forge, "Logan didn't break the fridge again....did he?".
"Hi there, Forge, dude", said Sidney, giving Forge a salute as she walked in.
Forge blinked.
"Hello...person i don't know", he said, closing the door and following them in.
The lab, despite being filled with the most technologically advanced objects on the planet, was otherwise decorated with a 70's theme. A bead curtain hung over the door leading into the living part of the house, a jukebox stood proudly in the corner and a lava lamp stood on a desk next to an Arati.
"I LIKE this place", said Sidney, looking at Forge "can i come live with you?".
"Err..still don't know who you are", put in Forge.
"Oh, sorry Forge, this is Sidney", said Kurt, then added with a smile, "me and Rogue's cousin".
"Pleased ta meet ya", said Sidney, giving the still confused Forge's hand a shake, "cooooool metal hand!".
"O....kay", said Forge, then chuckled, "oh wait, it's THAT Sidney?"
Sidney paused, flicking her tail,
"What have they been saying about me", she said, looking at the others, "come on, what have you said?".
"Nothing, honest", said Bobby, "not a thing. Tra la la. Nothing about you being a crazy physcopath kitty, that's for sure".
"Watch it Ice-boy or i'll put my hair-dryer on you", warned Sidney.
Bobby gave a squeak, looking for something to change the subject. He pointed at a random gadget.
"Ooohhh, what's that?".
"It's a Matter Infensifier Thingie", said Forge proudly.
"Question", asked Kitty, "Why does everything you create have either the words 'thingie', 'gizmo', whatzit' or 'dohickey' in their names?".
"Because they do", Forge replied, "it sounds groovy".
"So, what does it do?", asked Bobby.
"It adapts non-organic molecules into organic molecules", said Forge. Bobby blinked.
"What does it do?", he asked again.
Forge sighed.
"It makes inanimate objects into living matter", he tried again.
"Oh..okay", said Bobby, nodding wisely, before leaning in by Kurt, "what does it do?".
"It makes stuff come alive", said Kurt.
"Why didn't he say that in the first place?".
Rogue gave a large cough, silencing them. She handed the machine she had taken from the FOH to Forge.
"This seemed to be a power dampener", she said, "a'h don't know how it works....a'h was hopin' you would....and maybe be able ta do something, well, portable?..maybe soemthing that can mean a'h..can touch?".
Forge took the machine from Rogue and glanced at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, sure", he said, "give me a few hours and i'll see what i can come up with".
Rogue gave a happy squeak, hopping from foot to foot.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you", she said excitedly.
Forge chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.
"I can't promise anything yet, Rogue", he said, "so don't get your hopes up".
"That brain of yours NOT coming up with something?, i highly doubt it", said Bobby.
"Okay, lets leave Forge to it", said Kitty, suddenly very hasty, "he needs concentration. He can't concentrate with us here. Let go go go".
"Check ya later", said Forge, wondering exactly why Kitty suddenly had the overwelming urge to leave...he sure hoped that something wasn't burning.
With that she hearded the others out of the lab very quickly, leaving Forge to work on yet another machine.
