Kurt Wagner slowly stumbled into the kitchen. He was still in his pajamas
and he was pissed. Two minutes ago Scott Summers had roughly woken him up
saying that they needed and extra team training session today. To put it
mildly, Kurt was not a morning person.
"Oops! Sorry. I vasn't vatching vere I was goink."
Making for the refrigerator, Kurt had bumped into someone.
"It's ok. Mah fault. Ah wasn't watching were ah was goin'."
Kurt rubbed his eyes not believing what he was seeing.
The person he had bumped into was Rogue and she wasn't wearing her makeup. She only had a little black round her eyes, but it looked completely natural. Her hair was pulled back into a low pony tale, with her white bangs clipped to the side of her head with bobbypins. She had on a pair of blue jeans on that had fold marks in them. Her shirt was a long sleeved, green shirt with yellow sleeves. The clothes were obviously a little small for her, but they showed off her figure. The only thing that wasn't different about her, were her wrist high black gloves.
"Is somthin' wrong?" Rogue asked.
Kurt didn't know he'd been staring at her with his jaw dropped. Before Kurt could answer, Scott walked in.
"Ok, I've notified everyone except Rogue." Scott stated, already in his X- Men suit.
"Notify about what?" Rogue asked as she pushed past the stupefied Kurt and up to her team leader.
Scott just stood there and stared at the girl with Kurt's same bewildered look.
"Notify about what?" Rogue repeated with a little edge. Couldn't people in this place keep their eyes in their sockets?
"About a emergency training session." Scott managed to mumble out.
"Now?"
"Yeah, now."
"Ah'll see you two in the danger room then."
Rogue left the kitchen with the two boys utterly confused.
"Wow." Was all Scott could manage to say.
*~*~*
"Rogue!" Scott yelled trying to warn his teammate.
With a quick movement with his right hand, he emitted an energy blast that exploded the spinning blade that was headed at Rogue's head. The worst injury it would have given her was a nasty bump on her head, but Scott wasn't taking any chances.
"Scott, Ah could've gotten it!" Rogue yelled angrily. Why was everyone treating her as if the slighted tap could break her?
The training ended with Rogue in a terrible mood. She roughly knocked her shoulder into Scott as she walked past him.
"Hey!" Scott protested as he spun around watching Rogue walk away.
"What was that about?" Jean asked as she walked up to her boyfriend.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out."
He put his red, button up, long sleeved shirt on over his white undershirt and headed out to find Rogue. The first place he checked was her room and, sure enough, she was there.
"Hey! Don't you people knock first?" She asked irritably.
"What was that back there?"
"Ah don't know. Why did you knock out all of my disks?"
"I didn't knock out all of them!"
"Seven out of ten, Scott. I could've handled it. Ah'm not weak!"
"I know! It's just..."
"Just what?"
She stood there awhile, waiting for his reply, but it never came. Instead he just looked into her eyes, into her soul, and she was startled to find that she could look into his too, even through his glasses.
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
Rogue believed him. She was the first to break eye contact. Blushing as she turned away.
"I can't help myself from wanting to protect you, to still think of you as weak. It's just that you nearly died."
Rogue spun around.
"What?!"
"You almost died, Rogue, and it really freaked us out."
She just looked at him in horror.
"You didn't know, did you?"
She just shook her head, "Nobody told meh that."
"I'm sorry, I had no idea."
"Nobody does. Ah only remember bits and pieces and even those don't make any sense. Ah only remember getting ready for bed and then there was big blur of faces. Then I found mahself surrounded in darkness, then pain. So much pain. Ah woke up here and that's it. That is all Ah remember. Ah've just had to put together the little things Ah've overheard in conversations. Ah feel so awful, so unclean. I hurt so many innocent people."
"Rogue, it wasn't your fault. You were being controlled."
"That's what makes it worse! You'd think you'd have more control of your own body!"
She hated that her eyes were tearing up. She couldn't cry now, not in front of him.
Scott walked up to her and hugged her before she had a chance to step away.
"If you want me to, I'll tell you everything." He whispered into her ear.
"Thank you." She whispered back, "Thank you."
*~*~*
For the rest of the day nobody knew where Scott and Rogue were, well, except for the Professor, but he knew that they needed to be alone.
When they both arrived at dinner together, both smiling at each other and more comfortable in each other's presence, nobody knew what to think of it. Nobody still knew what to think of the new Rogue. Only Scott knew the reasons behind her change. Scott knew a lot of things about Rogue that she hadn't told anybody and she knew a lot of things about Scott that even Jean didn't know about. The two had bonded over the day and now shared a deep friendship. They had spent the whole day on the roof just talking about life. For the first time in her life, Rogue felt like she knew where she belonged. She finally felt like she was apart of something.
She smiled for the rest of the night.
A/N: Uh oh. I've gone all cutesy/fluffy on you guys. That style of storytelling is a little sketchy for me to right, but hopefully I pulled it off. If any of you know what happened in the two episodes after Dark Horizons 2, could you please put down the plotlines of the episodes and anything major that happened to anybody (mostly Rogue). Also, if there was any Romyness (like her kissing him in DH1) or any flirting going on, please tell me. I am a huge Romy shipper (as well as a Scogue one). Could you please put any info of that nature in a review box so I can catch up on what has been happening. I was gone for that past two weekends doing boring family bonding and such. Thanks a bundle!!!!!!!!!
