Rogue walked out of the school building, her backpack slung over one
shoulder.
"Hey! Rogue, wait up!" Risty called after her.
"Oh, hi Risty. What's up?" Rogue asked, beginning to walk toward the other Goth who was running across the lawn of the school.
"Nothing really, Ah just think Ah'm gonna go fer a walk." Rogue replied as she reached Risty.
"You're not going straight home?" Risty asked her.
"Nah, things have been gettin' a little, uh, complicated fo' me lately." Rogue replied.
"Like how?" Risty asked curiously.
"Umm. Ah don't really know how t'explain it. Ah guess y'could just say that Scott's been actin' weird lately." Rogue replied.
"Ooooh, maybe he likes you!" Risty voiced with a smile.
Rogue shook her head. "Ah don't know." Rogue trailed.
"Sure he does, why not?" Risty urged.
Rogue snorted. "There's enough reasons. Look, is there a reason y'called meh over besides talk, because Ah really want t'get outta here."
Risty shrugged. "Just wanted to see how my friend was doing. Hey, I thought Scott was sick today."
"What?" Rogue asked, following Risty's gaze. Scott was walking out of the school building, his arm in a sling. "He.was." Rogue trailed. The two teens watched as he made his way to his car to find Jean there. Rogue couldn't see much, but from what she did see, Jean looked nervous.
Rogue couldn't watch anymore. She could just imagine the conversation they were having. She could tell by the blush and the nervous look on Jean. She quickly turned away from the scene. "Ah'm gonna go." Rogue told Risty. She then hurried down the side-walk.
She cursed herself as her attention immediately went to Scott. Why Scott? She probably liked him because he was the one who tried so hard to win her over.. . to the X-men. She knew soon after she arrived at the professor's institute that he was unreachable. Heck, she'd known that 'she' was untouchable. She was well aware that you didn't need touch in a relationship; a relationship is mainly a mental thing. If it's mainly based on touch, it's lust. She was well aware of this, but perhaps she was just too much lust then. She wanted to be able to have a relationship and touch her partner. Was that really so wrong?
She also just wanted a relationship, even if it didn't involve touch, but she didn't want to get some one else caught up in a relationship where they weren't allowed to touch their partner. It was okay for her not to have that luxury, but to take it away from someone else horrified her. Scott defiantly deserved someone he could touch, she had known that. Even if he hadn't liked Jean, and Rogue hadn't known Jean liked him back, she still wouldn't have pursued a relationship with him. He deserved someone he could touch.
That still didn't answer her first question though. Why Scott? Not just that he worked so hard to bring her to the institute, but he was strong and smart. Sure, he needed to lighten up a bit and have some fun but he was right in some ways. Too much fun might not be good for you; you might cross some lines. Kurt was pretty good with it, but sometimes he crossed the line. He'd teleport in public as long as he 'thought' no one was looking. That didn't mean that no one didn't see. What would people do if they did see it?
The professor claims that humans aren't ready for mutants yet, but when does he think they will be then? They aren't going to change! Is that what he's expecting. Suddenly people's eyes are going to open and their minds expand so when mutants appear they won't be scared, hostile, cruel? No, they wouldn't change, their minds never will. They can evolve their technology, but their minds would stay the same. Heck, if some mutants weren't mutants when mutants were revealed, then they'd probably be against mutants. Humans, mutants, whoever, she didn't care, they were greedy and self centered. It was what the world was filled with; greedy little worms that squirm around all day trying to make something in their short life. Pitifully, Rogue knew that she too, was one of them.
Suddenly Rogue felt a hand grab her right shoulder, then another hand grab her right arm. She turned quickly to see who it was but as she turned right, a hand grabbed her left shoulder, then another grabbed her left arm. She looked around frantically. Two large men were holding her.
"Let meh go!" Rogue growled, trying to twist out of their grasp. They didn't let go though and just gripped her tighter.
One man shook his head. "Nope, you're coming with us." He said as a van began driving down the road slowly toward them.
"No!" Rogue yelled. "Help!" She yelled as loud as she could while she made to kick the guy to her right. He jumped back, pulling her arm with him and twisted it behind her back.
Rogue groaned in pain as her arm was twisted painfully behind her. She couldn't really move now either, for the movements would send a searing pain down that arm.
The second man brought her arm behind her back too and she was forced onto her knees. They quickly bond her wrists behind her back with some horse rope. They then forced her to her feet and one shoved her toward the van while the other opened the door.
Rogue screamed one last time for help but realized that the road she had been walking down had been pretty much deserted at the time and without a rescue, she was forced into the van.
The two men followed her in and closed the door. Rogue took advantage of the fact that they were no longer holding her and side kicked the larger one with all her strength. He groaned in pain as her fist met his ribs and he fell grasping at his side. The second man came at her but she jumped out of the way leaving her foot and he tripped.
Combat was hard to perform in a van. It was really small and they kept tripping over things. It was a good thing that there were no seats. It didn't help though, that all Rogue had to work with for weapons were her legs since her hands were tied behind her back.
At one point, the now moving van took a sharp turn and Rogue fell hard into the side of the van, painfully smacking her head. The two men took advantage of this and grabbed her arms, pinning her against the side of the van and keeping out of reach of her dangerously thrashing legs.
After a bit more of a struggle, Rogue stopped fighting completely. She was getting no where now that they had her pinned. She needed to save her energy.
She looked at the men for weaknesses, instantly looking at their hands. To her dismay, they were gloved. Their faces weren't though, if she could get close enough. . .
Why her? What was going on? Why was she being kidnapped? And to what purpose? She hated the phrase kidnapped, because she wasn't a kid! Eighty year old peoupl could get captured but it's still called kidnapped!
Why in the world was she bothering to think about a stupid name! She had more pressing matters to consider.
"What do ya want with meh?" She demanded.
Both men were really irritated and about now looked like they were prepared to really hurt her if she annoyed them anymore. They had bruises and aches all over because of her. They hadn't been prepared for such and unorthodoxtic fight. On the other hand though, neither had Rogue.
"You'll find out soon enough." One of them simply growled angrily. Rogue scowled at the man and cursed herself for not going straight home, or for not convincing Risty to come with her. Perhaps if both had been there, then they wouldn't have tried to capture her! And why her? Was she just a random victim on the street, or is there a reason that they took 'her'? And if so, why?
