A Rogue Never Trusts
Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue woke up from her exhausted slumber much less rested then she should have been, but still in much better shape then she had been the night before. Shifting slightly in the trucks comfortable seat she attempted to massage the crick out of her neck. "Morning lass, trust you had a pleasant sleep." The southerner nodded dumbly as she shifted her duffle bag upon her lap. "We'll be stoppin' in a small town in about 43 minutes, but if you are hungry I got a butterfingers bar an' a unopened bottle of water."
The mutant teenager looked up at the trucker and forced a weary smile. "That would be great." The woman, who had revealed her name to be Bethy, was oddly nice and Rogue was hard pressed to find the woman without a smile spread across her face.
"The Butterfingers is in the glove compartment, an' the water is in the cup holder." With another smile the trucker tuned her attention completely back to the road. The southerner stared at her for a second more then went about shuffling through the small crowded compartment until she found her prize shoved to the very bottom. Grinning at her victory Rogue unwrapped the bar and took a bite, savoring the delicious taste. Slowly she reached for the water bottle and broke the seal; it wasn't anywhere near cold but she was too thirsty to care. Her emerald eyes focused out the window as she took a sip from the water.
The scenery sped past her eyes as Rogue tried to pick out even one thing to concentrate on but it all went past her too fast. 'Its like my life, just when ah think ah got a home in my sites it flies past me. God ah wish ah just had somewhere concrete ta go but ah guess that would be too much ta ask of yah, huh? Yah probably don' even like me. Maybe ah did somethin' horrible in a past life ta deserve this. Aw hell ah probably did somethin' in this life, now that I think about it.' But Rogue had no more room to think because at that very moment the truck jerked to a sudden halt in a small parking lot. "Here's where you get off lass. Sorry I can't take you further but I will not be leavin' this city for a few days, an' knowin' hitch-hikers you'll probably want to get back on the road as fast as you can. Even if you are not exactly positive of where you are goin'."
Nodding dumbly Rogue opened the door and hoisted herself and her bag out of the truck. "Bye Mrs. Bethy, thanks for the ride again!" The teen shouted at the top of her lungs to the fleeting form of the trucker. 'Well, at least ah won't have ta get attached ta many people anymore an' ah get to see Canada for free.'
~*~*~Xavier's~*~*~
Silently Jean continued to stare at Scott's prone body laying on one of the med-bay's beds with his head bandaged ever so carefully. He had woken up shortly after arriving home, but the Professor had thought it best for him to stay and be monitored "just in case". The uncertainty of those words was the only thing keeping Jean up through her all night vigil. 'There is no way I am going to abandon Scott when he needs me.' She thought as she yawned heavily. 'I just have to be there when he wakes up again. I should be the one to break him the news about Rogue.' Jean looked at the boys face and felt tears sting the back of her eyes. 'If it hadn't for been for Rogue…if she hadn't been there… Scott would have probably been dead by now.'
~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~
"Professor, Professor!!!!! Rogue…she was like HERE…in Bayville…and like not at the mountainy place!" Kitty screeched as she skid down the hallway leading to the professors office. Jean followed the freshman at a fast walk, not willing to give up her dignity just for speed. Xavier's door opened as they neared it, and from inside came the wheelchair-confined man.
"Yes Kitty, I know. Rogue has defected from the Brotherhood." The Professor said as he drummed his fingers on the arm rests of the wheel chair. The Brunettes eyes widened dramatically, and a smile spread across her face.
"I knew it, I knew it! She saved us to many times to be bad! So when will she be fighting with the rest of the team?" Kitty asked as her eyes filled with anticipation.
"I am sorry to say, that she will not be joining our group; at least not for now." Jean looked down at her feet, having already expected something like that to happen, but the younger girl at her side seemed to have a more difficult time wrapping her mind around the idea of not joining a team.
"But, I thought you said she wasn't part of the Brotherhood anymore. If she isn't then why—" but the energetic girl was cut off by Jean.
"What was she doing back here, even if she deserted it shouldn't affect the trip." To this Xavier nodded solemnly and explained to them what had happened to Scott including how he was saved from certain death by the quick actions of Rogue. Jeans eyes widened as the story unfolded and finally the question was too powerful to hold in, "Where is Scott?" Xavier frowned slightly at her impatience but gave her the information she so eagerly desired.
Jean dashed out of the room right then and there, only just managing to hear Kitty ask her next question. "Like where is Rogue going to stay? It sounds as if she doesn't have a home anymore."
~~~~~~~~~~Flashback Ends~~~~~~~~~~
Scott slowly rose from his unconscious state only to realize that his glasses were off his face, and his head was pounding; numbly he sensed a presence stirring by his side. "Here," a familiar voice said as a pair of sunglasses slipped over his eyes.
"Hay Jean," Smiling Scott looked up into her red tinted face. "How is Rogue doing?" He asked as he looked down the row of empty beds in the med-bay.
"About that Scott…she…Rogue is…um…what I am trying to say is that she…Scott we don't know where she is exactly. She left The Brotherhood, but refused to join the x-men." Jean blurted out to Scott's surprised face.
"You mean she left Bayville?" Scott asked but only received a nod. Lowering his head onto the pillow Scott sighed. "We need to find her!"
~*~*~Rogue~*~*~
Slowly the southern girl trudged her way through the snow-covered sidewalks of the town, only stopping when she spotted a small, dingy pub tucked into a secluded corner right next to an ally. 'Could be temptin' but that place isn't somewhere ah should go, considering no one knows where ah am.' Rogue thought as she walked past the entrance, but unfortunately a hand reached out for her as she past and dragged her into the Alleyway.
The teenagers unknown assailant held her arms behind her back and made sure she had no possible way to see his face. "Hey dare, ow much f'r one night?" His breath reeked of alcohol, causing Rogue to wrinkle her noise with distaste.
"More then you could make in a lifetime you perv!" She yelled and to emphasize her point she slammed her heel down on the insole of his foot. The man howled in pain and attempted to hop on his good foot, but was so intoxicated that he fell flat on his face. Rogue looked at the crumpled human being at her feet and almost felt sorry for hi, almost. "Serves yah right, yah bastard."
From his position on the ground he looked up into her eyes and scowled, "Yah lil trap, I'm gonna kill yah." The mutated teen just rolled her eyes and walked out of the ally only half paying attention to the drunk's curses. As she got closer to the sunlit sidewalk she looked back at the man, who had just managed to stager to his feet. In his hand something glittered in the ally's minimal supply of gray light, a small switchblade. He smiled at her showing all of his alcohol yellowed teeth and stumbled at an incredibly fast pace towards her.
"Fuck!" Was the only thing that could make it out her mouth as she attempted to duck the man's blade and throw her duffle bag away from the fray at the same time. The knife nicked the very top of her scalp but not enough to draw blood. Retaliating as fast as she could Rogue attempted to kick the mans legs out from under him, but her crouched position made the move both difficult and sloppy. He quickly regained his balance and tried to stab the girl again only to have his switchblade hit hard against the brick wall of the pub. Stunned by the blow the drunk staggered away from the building's side only to have a gloved first smash into the side of his face. There was a sickening crack as his jaw broke, and he fell against the wall he had just been trying to escape from.
Without the use of his mouth he tried to scream at the teenage girl to get away, but Rogue paid him no heed as she approached with an outstretched, gloveless hand. The drunk flattened himself as close to the wall as possible though the effort was useless because the mutant's hand still touched his cheek and he still fell into an unconscious heap that everyone would assume had been cause by one to many shots of tequila. 'It had ta be done, Rogue. He would have followed yah an' tried ta kill yah if yah left him awake.' Nodding sadly as if in agreement with herself the southern teenager picked her bag back up and continued to walk down the side walk as if nothing had happened, but this time she had one more person in her head to accompany her on her trip to nowhere.
