My Rogue
The Meeting
MatrixX15
X Men char. Are owned by someone else.
Sunday, 5/21/01 0100 hrs
Show X flying over an abandoned plaza.
X: So late. Maybe I'll just skip the last few hours of patrol tonight.
As X flies back to his house he overhears someone crying.
X: Huh? Eh. Just a girl. I'm getting jumpy. Good thing I'm headin' home.
Rogue: Sniff. Am so alone. Ah can't touch anybody!
Rogue picks up one of the stones she has by her and hurls it into the next block.
?: OW!
Rogue: Huh?
X flies over ready to fight, then stops suddenly when he sees who it is.
X: Oh. It's just you.
Rogue: Who are you?
X:X.
He turns to fly away but Rogue grabs onto his foot.
Rogue: Hey! That's it?! No how are you?
X: Why should I care how you are? What you were crying about is none of my business.
Rogue lets go with a sad smile.
Rogue: So you're one of them?
X: "Them".
Rogue: Someone who doesn't have very many friends, so they go into a secluded state.
X growls a warning.
X: Mighty talkative for someone who can't defend herself.
Rogue pulls back and laughs loudly.
Rogue: Heh. Ahh. That's funny. Here, touch mah skin and see how defenseless Ah really am.
X's suit pulls back to reveal his hand and touches Rogue's skin with out any effect.
Rogue: !?
X: (Smiles) Wanna know what MY power is?
Rogue: (Hesitantly) Yeeeees.
X: Anything I can think of. Including canceling out other people's abilities.
X flies away fast. Rogue jumps down into Scott's car and follows X to a small black and gray house a couple streets down. He lands on a porch and retracts his mask. Rogue looks at who he is and gasps.
Rogue: (GASP)
X turns.
X: (Sniff sniff) (Sigh) Just Rogue.
Rogue: Oh Mah gawd! That's the kid Ah bumped into when Ah was skippin' school the other day! (A look of horror crosses her face) Oh, SHIT! If he knows where Ah live, then he can tell the Prof. anytime!
Next day 0943 hrs.
Rogue: His manager said he works from 10:00 to 5:00! Ah'd better pump up the speed!
Engine revves and speeds toward Target.
At Target 1004 hrs.
Employee: Hey Steve!
Steve (X): What?
Employee: Some red head wants ya'.
Steve: (Thinking) Better make it good. (Smiles) This ought to drive her crazy.
Steve walks to the front of the store and greets Rogue warmly.
Steve: Hey! You're that girl I bumped into, aren't you?
Rogue: (Nervously) Yeah. Listen, Ah fallowed ya back to your house last night.
Steve pretends to be confused.
Steve: What?
Rogue: You know! After we talked.
Steve: When was this?
Rogue: (Yells) Stop pretending! You know when.
Steve: Yeah, I do. Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?
Rogue looks scared, then self-assured.
Rogue: Ah should be askin' YOU the same question.
Steve grins at her, leans over and whispers into her ear. Rogue's eyes get really big.
Rogue: (in a whisper) You can't be that old.
Steve: Anything I can think of.
Later at the Mansion 1900 hrs.
Prof.: Rogue, your teachers called today.
Rogue gulps and pales.
Prof: Apparently you haven't been in school the past 4 days.
Kitty: Gonna get it now.
Rogue: Shut up!
Kitty: Make me. (Sticks out tounge) Mmmmmm!
Rogue starts towards her, but Scott holds her back.
Scott: Look; if there's a problem, Prof. X can help.
Rogue glares at him.
Rogue: (Through gritted teeth) There is no problem.
Prof: I think there is. Rogue, I know that adjusting to a new school is hard at first bu-
Rogue: NO YOU DON'T KNOW!
Scott tries to calm her down.
Scott: (gently) Rogue…
Rogue glares at him.
Rogue: OF ALL PEOPLE! YOU SHOULD BE ON MAH SIDE! YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING OTHER PEOPLE CAN!
Rogue bolts up to her/Kitty's room and slams the door.
Jean: It's a guy.
All look at her.
Jean: What? That's the only thing she would get so upset about. That she can't touch a guy.
Prof. X hears a car start.
Prof: Oh, no.
All rush outside just in time to see Scott's car go flying down the road.
At Steve (X)'s house. 1923 hrs.
Doorbell rings, and Steve slides down to answer.
Steve: Rogue? What's u-?
Rogue hugs him tightly and sobs.
Door closes.
At the Mansion 1924 hrs.
Prof. X is discussing the matter with Logan.
Logan: I'm tellin' you, it's the guy she bumped into when we moved here!
Prof: Maybe. That still doesn't explain why she reacted the way she did.
Ororo: Maybe he can cancel out her power.
Prof: Hmm. This bears looking into. Evan, Kurt!
Kurt 'ports in and Evan slides down the railing.
Kurt/Evan: Yeah?
Prof: Go check out this address. (Hands them a piece of paper)
Kurt: No problem!
Kurt then ports himself and Evan to the address on the paper.
Kurt: This is it.
Checks the paper.
Evan: Not to shabbey for someone who doesn't go to school.
Kurt: That's what the Prof. Is probably worried about.
Ground rumbling
Kurt: Huh?
Blob: COMIN' THROUGH!
Inside the house
We see Rogue laying next to Steve with tear marks on her face.
Rogue: (Sniff) Thanks.
Steve: (Surprised) For what?
Rogue: For listenin' to me whine about Mah life.
Steve: Meh.
BAM! The door to the front of the house is thrown open as Kurt and Evan are thrown back by Blob.
Toad: This new one is OURS! Suuth!
Toad's tounge grabs Steve by the waist and starts to haul him up to the door.
Steve: Rogue! Throw me the pin!
Rogue, confused, does as she is told.
Toad: What ya' gonna do with that? Poke me? HA!
Steve: No.
He then calmly rips a foot-long gash in his left arm. Before anybody can say anything however, something black explodes out of his arm and completely covers him.
Toad: GAH!
X: Payback Time!
X explodes out of Toad's tounge and back hands him outside.
Blob: Oh shit!
X charges him like a bull
