Rogue woke up as the first rays of sun hit her face; she closed her eyes and let out a huge yawn. When she reopened her eyes she noticed the rose that was sitting on her lap. Her brows furrowed as a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Now where in tha hell did this thang come from?"
Rogue got up and dropped the rose on the ground. She ran to the house in hopes that she would get there before anyone else noticed that she did not come back from her walk last night. But when she walked through the door she wasn't that lucky. Logan was walking down the stairs just as she came in.
"Where have ya been Stripes?" Logan asked suspiciously.
"Ah went for a walk."
"This early in the morning?"
"Ah went last night but ah fell asleep out there."
"Don't let it happen again. By the way we have and training session in an hour."
"All right, thanks." Rogue said as she walked up to her room.
When she went into her room Kitty was all ready getting prepared for the danger room session. She was bouncing along with the music of one of her boy bands. Rogue walked over to her closet and began getting out her uniform. When Kitty noticed her she turned off the music.
"Like, where were you all night?"
"Ah was our walkin'"
"All night?"
"No, ah fell asleep while ah was sitting by a tree."
"Oh, you luck Mr. Logan didn't catch you."
"Ah saw 'em when ah was walkin' in this morning',"
"Oooh, so not good. Well, good luck in the session. I'm, like, gonna go and get some breakfast. See ya!"
"See yah,"
Once Kitty left the room Rogue changed into her uniform. She decided not to go down stairs until the session began to avoid any questions about why she was out all night. While she was laying on her bed she began thinking of her life before the institute and the brotherhood.
Ah wish ah was back home with Irene. She's tha closest thang ah have ta a motha. Mah life was so simple back befohe ah found out that ah was a mutant. Ah only had ta worry about regular teenage stuff. School, boys, chores. it was all so trouble-free back then. Now it's powers, mutant vs. humans, and peace or war, and ta top it all off mah power sucks! I get ta hurt other people and mahself all at the same time, only through of touch of skin on skin. All these voices in mah head get so annoyin'. They're always screamin' 'bout somethin'. Its mah fault that they're in there so ah guess ah can't complain. If ah was stuck in someone's head ah'd be screamin' too.
*X-Men, your danger room session will begin in five Minutes. Do not be late.*
Rogue groaned at the announcement and got up to head down to the danger room. She took her time walking because she knew she would not be late. When she walked through the danger room doors everyone was standing and looking at her.
"What?"
"You're late," Scott said irritated.
"Well accordin' ta mah watch ah still have 23 seconds to get here." She snapped back. "So apparently Ah'm early, just not as early as ya'll."
*That's enough arguing. Now let's begin training. This will be a rescue mission against the sentinels*
"Are you sure they're ready to do that alone Chuck?" Logan asked.
"No I am not, but I believe in them."
The metal room changed into a downtown city of New York. The teams were: Scott/Jean, Rogue/Kitty, Bobby/Jubilee, and Kurt/Evan. The streets were quiet with people walking around until a large sentinel appeared from the darkness.
"Like, here we go." Kitty said.
The sentinel smashed his foot on top of a building and debris went falling towards the citizens. Jean moved the pieces away from them. Then Jubilee distracted it with fireworks while Iceman froze its feet. Then Scott sent a blast to the chest of the machine, while Spyke shot his spikes at it. NightCrawler kept it busy by porting in and out of its face. Then Jean lifted Kitty and Rogue towards the chest and Kitty phased them both through it to mess up the machinery. As the sentinal fell everyone either phased through it or ported away.
"Vow zat vas not'ing. I zought dat it vould ve harder." Kurt said.
"Um Kurt, like think again." Kitty said pointing behind him where three more sentinels stood.
"Zis is going to take a vhile."
An hour later the danger room session was over. Rogue quickly ran to the shower before anyone else could claim it. She took her time washing up while ignoring the banging on the door. About 45 minutes later she was done. She wrapped a towel around herself and grabbed her clothes. She opened the door to find Kitty with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry," Rogue said.
When she went into her room she went to turn on her music. She found the same red rose from the morning sitting on her dresser.
How in tha hell did that get all the way in here?
