2) Blood And Fire
:lacking:
the one thing i miss and want most is a family and love. all i ever wanted was a life, a normal one. this is me, im not ashamed of who i am or what i am, its just the fact that no one wants me for who and what i am. so the only place i can get warmth is with people like me. i get warmth, but do i feel it?

*Rogue*
I woke up in the morning leaning on the railing of the balcony. I looked around quickly and no one was there. I looked to my side and i picked up another card ; Jack of hearts. I got up and went back in my room. I dressed and gathered my things for school. I walked down the hall and outside. I got in Jeans car and waited for it to move. Kitty sat down next to me, i could feel her eyes accusing glare.
"Do you MIND?" i asked looking up at her
School seemed to last forever. When it got out i got a ride home. The professor announced that we would have to gear up because Magneto and his drones were causing anarchy not too far by.
We all went to this place. It was around a bunch of abandoned warehouses and factories. It was very quiet until a roaring fire nearly knocked us all out. After the fire came the usual evil laugh of Pyro. I saw Gambit ran by.
"I got him!" i yelled, acting
I ran in that direction acting as if i was going to do something.
"Why do you keep dropping these cards for me?" i asked Gambit
"Reminder..." he responded
"What if Magneto finds out?" i asked curiously
"Hang on..."
He grabbed me by the arm and ran as a huge fire came swooping by. Pyro looked down with confusion then called Magneto. He saw Gambit and Rogue and his eyes glared.
"Run, chere!" Gambit whispered
"B-but - "
"Now!"
I turned around hesitantly and ran. I could only hope this wasnt a trick and keep running. I got out of reach and hid behind an old box. I watched on as Pyro battled Gambit. It was my fault, too. Pyro stopped his flames when Gambit was down, then Magneto took him away. I wasnt going to follow since i didnt really trust Gambit, but i would kind of watch on.
I met up with the rest of the Xmen. They were finishing up on Colossus and Sabertooth when i joined. Just as they both got knocked down, Magneto, along with Pyro and an unconsious Gambit, gave the signal to retreat.
"Good! You showed him, Rogue!" Kurt said excitedly
"Huh?" i asked
"You touched your buddy, there! Guess i vont have to be uncle Nightie for a million little freaky red eyed childrens after all!" Kurt smiled
"Hey! YOURE the blue fuzzy one here, Kurt."
"Eh... um... vell... oh vell! People love the fuzzy!"
I played along and acted like i was the one who wasted Gambit. Everyone seemed less distant, now. Even though the Xmen seemed like the open minded loving group, to me they were just as close minded as the world. Just because a mutant wasnt with the "wonderful xmen" doesnt mean they are evil... right?

Gambit woke up in a dark room. He was chained to the wall and weak. He could barely stand let alone open his eyes.
"Ill make a deal with you..." Magneto said
"Yeah?" Gambit answered weakly
"First, tell me what is up with you and Rogue?"
"Nothing, mon ami..."
"Ill give you a chance to proove that."
"Aight...."
"Failure to comply will result in the removal of your powers......"
Gambit was released and a dragged up to his room. There he recooperated for a few days. Rogue, at night, sat out on her balcony waiting to see if her friend would return.
She climbed up to the roof and looked at the stars. She heard a small noise and turned around.
"Did'ja really think i would leave ya hangin?" Gambit asked
"Actually, yeah," she kind of sighed
"Hey..." he pleaded
"Why did you do that for me?" she asked
"It was the right thing... thought thats what you Xmen liked?"
"Who are you? Really... who are you? What do you want with me? Why ME? Huh?"
"Slow down there, chere. I told you who i am. I dont want anything with you. Promise..."
"Whats the word of a thief then?"
He slightly pulled back, "Where did ya hear that?"
"Xavier."
"You gonna believe what ya heard, or what ya know?"
"Neither."
"Then what?"
"Whatever the hell you can MAKE me believe."
"What do ya mean?"
"Ive been through so much now. Ive shed blood. Ive dropped tears. Ive been frozen by ice. Ive been melted by fire. Ive done it all in such a short life. You are no more than one of those... you are the fire, and i know you are going to freeze me, any time now. Like that song says, 'No more nights of blood and fire.' I wont leave myself open to your shots, ill keep my barrier and the only way to get in is to blast it down."
"Where is it then? Ill toss a few charged cards at it."
"Im serious! Plus, who knows how long until youre caught."
"No one will see me. I used to be a thief, remember? Disappearing is partially what i do."
He sat down next to Rogue. She scooted away a few inches.
"Chere...?"
"Why do you incessantly call me that?"
"It fits."
Not too far away, Kurt watched. He didnt know whether to teleport over to them, to not say anything or to go tell someone. Xavier probaly already knew though. Kurt teleported over to the two.
"Kurt?!" Rogue gasped
"Rogue, i cannot let this happen anymore. You are coming vith me!"
Kurt pulled her up, and she pulled away.
"Rogue, please. I dont vant to see you hurt anymore," he whispered
"S'cuse me, monsieur. What are ya afraid thats gonna happen?" Gambit said calmly
"Im afraid of you taking her somewhere and doing who knows vhat! Making your little freaky childrens or torturing her - vait, that IS torture! Leave her alone, red eyes. I vont stand by and let you pull her into your Romeo and Juliet love things! Shes a GOOD GUY, remember? YOU fight HER, SHE fights YOU. No kissy kissy stuff! FIGHTING! Punching and kicking and - hey... Rogue, vhere are you?" Kurt said getting ahead of himself
Rogue was fed up with Kurt and had left.
"Look vhat you did!" Kurt yelled
"Look what *I* did? Hey Fuzz, i dont recall ME being the one telling her what to do." Gambit said, still keeping his cool
"Oh, youre right... she hates me doesnt she?"
"Why are you asking me? Im the BAD GUY, REMEMBER?"
"Ill make a deal vith you. I vont say anything to anyone about this if you keep your hands off her."
"No problemo."
"So... vhats that cool thing you do vith the cards? You, like, make them bombs. Thats really cool."
"We really should go find Rogue before anyone else notices shes gone."
"Ah! Yes. Ill find her, you go home. Xavier notices quick, so you better leave."
Gambit hopped off the roof and ran as fast as he could. Once he was about a mile away he stopped.
"Magneto?" He said
"Hows progress?" Magneto asked
"Coming along excellent, mon ami."
