Chapter 8: More Surprises,More Shocks



"What!?" Kitty exclaimed, thinking that maybe she didn't hear right.
"You're grounded," Jean repeated.
"You… like, you can't ground me!" Kitty cried.
"And why not?" Jean asked crossing her arms.
~Well for one thing, who died and made you queen~ she thought miserably.
~Ah'm with you on that part~ Rogue thought smiling to herself after reading Kitty's mind.~Hmmm…what else is everybody thinking~
~Very funny~ Jean shot back on reading Kitty's mind.
~This is totally confusing. I thought Kitty and Rogue were fighting~ Scott's voice said.
~I can't believe I missed the fight of the year~Evan groaned.
~Zis doesn't look so good~Kurt thought nervously.
"You're not the Professor or Ororo nor Logan so—" Kitty started but was interrupted.
"So you're saying you want a more severe punishment?" Jean said raising her brow.
"No! I meant—"
"Well, you would if the Professor finds out. So either you take this from me or take it from Logan when he returns. Whats it gonna be?"
Kitty clenched her fists. She didn't want to lose this battle to Rogue but Wolverine was another thing. "How long?"
"Till the Professor returns," Jean replied.
"But that's like—"
"Till then or more than that," she said firmly and turned to leave.
"Whatever, but you can at least like, change her room," Kitty said pointing at Rogue. "I don't want to be in the same room with her!"
"Then don't!" Jean snapped and quickly left before Kitty could say anything else.
"Jean! Wait!" Scott called following behind. Kurt teleported with Evan, leaving Kitty and Rogue alone. Kitty went to the bathroom, leaving Rogue with enough time to clean up the room in less than a second.~Now for some burger and fries~ she thought and teleported into the kitchen.


~Time is a force—No that doesn't sound right~ Kitty thought pressing the backspace key. ~Time is something without meaning or defini—Still there's something missing~ she thought pressing the backspace again. ~Time has…. Kitty typed on and then erased and repeated this process again and again.
Rogue pressed her hands on her ears. This had been going on for almost half an hour.~No wonder Jean doesn't share a room with her, that girl could just think you to death~ She picked up her history book and tried to concentrate on it.
~Yes! like I finally got it~Kitty thought delighted.
~Thank goodness! Now Ah can learn for mah test~ Rogue thought flipping through the pages of her history book.
~But then again, maybe not~ Kitty thought looking at the screen, disappointed.
~Ah think Ah wasted enough time on this~ Rogue said frusturated getting up and stomped out of the room.



"Hey! give me the remote!" Evan cried trying to snatch it from Kurt.
"I teleported to et first." Kurt said who had it coiled up in his tail.
"Could ya boys keep it down! Ah'm trying to watch something!" Rogue shouted who had come out of nowhere and was flicking through channels.
"Huh?!" Kurt said looking at his tail, which no longer held the remote control. "How did you—"
"Hey! we came here first!" Evan interrupted. "And by the way, you're grounded."
"So?"
"So you're not allowed to do anything except studying."
"Been there done that. Ah need a break."
"Wow look at zat!" Kurt exclaimed pointing at the TV screen. A diamond more than the size of a tennis ball placed in a glass display flashed across the screen.
"This wonder will be exhibited tomorrow at the Bayville Museum and now back to—" Rogue again started channel surfing.
"Maybe ve could all go see et." Kurt suggested.
"Ugh! Nothing good is on. Here take it." Rogue said giving the remote to Evan.
"Finally!"
~Dinner's ready everyone~Jean's voice said.
"If she cooked, then I'm skipping dinner too," Evan said firmly.
~I heard that~


Rogue watched the cars as they passed by below her.~Now this is relaxing~she thought, hanging upside down under the balcony of a high building with her history book stuck with the web. Atleast she couldn't hear people's thoughts up here especially Kitty's, who, she guessed still must be stuck on that time project of hers. A high pitched scream brought her back from her relaxation state. She swung down and started searching for whoever was in trouble. She spotted a man cornered by two masked men with weapons.~I'm really getting tired of this~


"P-Please! don't hurt me!" the man begged.
"Give us your wallet and maybe we'll go easy on you," one of the men said pointing the gun at his head.
"Leave him alone and maybe I'll go easy on you," Rogue said, who was sticking onto a wall above them.
"What the—" one of the masked man didn't get to finish his sentence as Rogue kicked him in the chest knocking him out cold. The other man started shooting at her. She easily dodged the bullets then shot web from both her hands and covered him with it from neck to toe. She then turned to the other man who was petrified with fear.
"Are you alright?" she asked coming closer.
"No! please get away from me." He shouted and made run for it. Rogue was shocked when she read his mind which was a little jumbled up but she got the clear concept.~ Mutants they'll kill us all! They'll kill us all they're all alike They'll— ~Rogue pressed her hands against her ears to block his thoughts. She swung up and went to the spot where she had been before. Many questions were running through her mind. Is the Professor even right about trying to make peace between mutants and normal people. Normal, what did it mean anyway. Was she normal before or normal now? One thing was certain she could never be normal. Never could be able to touch someone without hurting him or her. And these new powers are just reminding her of the people she drained.~For once, I wish I was able to control this power~
She was startled back to reality with the screeches and crashing of cars into one another and people running and screaming. "What the—" but she wasn't able to finish her sentence when she saw him. ~Oh no!~she thought in horror. She blinked twice and thrice to see if she wasn't dreaming. But he was still there wrecking cars and anything else that got in his way. Yes, it was him, the indestructible Juggernaut.
