"Pardon me, but you are taking up the whole bed." Bobby pointed out in mock
complaint.
"Pardon me, but I'm bigger than you so therefore I am entitled to more space." Rogue shot back in the same joking matter.
"You're still a bed hog."
"Am not."
"Admit it."
"There is another bed you know."
"Your point?"
Rogue sighed. This could go on forever.
Bobby played with her bracelet. She never took it off. It was the reason she became normal. Well, as normal as a mutant girl could get. It righted the chemical imbalance in her DNA or something like that. Rogue wasn't paying attention when Jean explained it to her. All she cared was that it worked. And it did.
A little too well she might add. That's why she was where she was right now. She now had to face the face that she could touch, and be touched. And with that came "specific obligations." That was the term that Logan used. He'd obviously seen Ever After way too many times.
Rogue remembered his lecture and frowned. It had been an ugly lecture which led to the reason why Rogue was in this room hiding from him.
"Hmm......?" she asked realizing that Bobby had spoken to her and was expecting an answer.
"Do you want to thumb wrestle?"
"Who the hell thumb wrestles any more?"
"Shh!!!" Bobby said putting both hands on her stomach, "Not in front of the children. We're going to have to work on that potty mouth of yours."
"Oh come on. You curse just as much as me, if not more."
"No I don't. Just watch your damn language, little lady."
Rogue laughed.
"Hypocrite."
"If you are going to insult be by calling me a very large herbivorous, 4- toed, chiefly aquatic mammal than at least pronounce it correctly. It's hippopotamus."
"Ok, this is just plain painful. How long have we been here?"
"Three hours."
"Three hours?? There is no way I'm going to last a week, let alone more!!"
"So I take that as a no."
"To what?!"
"Thumb wrestling."
Rogue groaned as she whapped Bobby in the face with a pillow. She placed it back behind her head.
It was at that moment that Scott came in.
"Just checking up on you two. How are things?"
"For the love of God, help me." Rogue pleaded.
"No help me. I have to deal with her."
Scott chuckled.
'This is going to be a long week.' He thought.
*~*~*
Logan wasn't sure on whether or not he was going to unpack. If Rogue wasn't around there wasn't much of a reason to stay. She was pretty much the only one out of this weird group of people who got him and how he worked. His interest in Jean died when she and Scott got engaged. Logan only flirted with her to piss Scott off. It was fun, but got tiring after a while.
He was actually considering on staying and becoming an X-Men, but the urge to travel wasn't out of his system yet. Maybe by the next time he came around he would be ready to settle down.
Logan had forgotten that his door was open until Scott came racing by.
"Jean! Jean!!" He yelled in a strange kind of controlled panic. Logan couldn't believe it. Was "Ken" actually showing emotion?
"What? What is it?"
"She's early."
"Now?"
"Yep."
"Is she down there?"
"Waiting for you to take over."
"Keep watch up here. I'll come for you later."
"Ok."
Jean ran off towards the hospital wing.
"What's going on?" Logan asked with a raised eyebrow as he stood in the doorframe, "Who's early?"
"A student. Jubilation Lee had an appointment with Jean and she came early."
"And that's why you're out of breath?"
"Yes. She needs to take a strong medication every two hours or else she'll seizure. Her attacks started early." Scott lied.
Logan seemed to take that as an answer.
"Hey, I think I'm all funned out. I'm going to leave now. I'll be back sometime next year and then I'll move in, just time for your wedding."
"Great." Scott faked a smile, "We've pushed it back until next December."
"That's quite a long engagement you got going on."
"Well it'll be worth the wait."
"I'll come by then, then."
Scott watched Logan retrieve his sorry looking duffle bag and watched him leave.
"Give Rogue my regards when she comes back from her trip or whatever."
"Sure thing."
And he was gone with out a preamble.
Just like that.
A/N: Hopefully I've explained the touch thing a little better for you all. Hopefully you got my Barbie joke in this chapter.
I found it funny that the author of the X2 book used the word 'preamble' a lot. I also found it funny that John said, "No shit, Sherlock." That is one of my most famous catch phrases in real life and I did a huge spit take when I read that one.
Good times. Good times.
I highly advise getting the book. It is awesome.
