AN: I'm back, my writers block has gone and I have a week to write now so there should be more on this and my other fic soon. I just want to say how sorry I am for not updating sooner, I tried writing this chapter so many times but it just didn't sound right. I think it's ok now and it will explain what's going on with Scott. I'll explain more about why after the chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nada, not one little thing. ('Cept the idea.)
All Grown Up
Chapter 5
Lost inside a void of darkness a single beam of light illuminated a male figure, bound and caged, who watched events through eyes he had no control over. For the man was Scott Summers and he was a prisoner inside his own mind, had been for months now.
"How are you enjoying the show, Mr. Summers?" a voice asked out of the darkness, the owner staying just on the outer edge of the light, cloaked in shadows.
Scott struggled against the chains that bound him, "Why are you doing this?" he demanded, wishing he had some way to contact the professor, to get his help.
The entity that had taken over Scott's mind had been there for decades, hiding out since the plane crash when he was a boy, and it had wanted Rogue for centuries before that. It was a telepath, a precog and an immortal, and it wanted to make Rogue it's queen. Her powers meant that she could potentially become immortal herself and she was a dangerous weapon, unfortunately the entity knew its telepathic abilities would have no effect on the woman and that it would have to find some other way to earn her love.
"You really think she'll ever love you?" Scott asked incredulously, "Especially now that she's got her Cajun," Scott indicated to the images that were what his eyes were seeing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Several hours after the encounter with Scott, Remy and Rogue emerged from their room, hand in hand. Both scowled as they saw Scott sitting at the kitchen counter (AN: Why do I make everything happen in the kitchen?) staring vacantly into space.
"There ya're sugah," Rogue drawled, smiling with exaggerated sweetness when the X-Man glanced her way.
Scott smiled back at her with genuine affection, "Did you want something Rogue?" he asked raising and walking towards her. he stopped a few feet away from the woman then turned to glare at Remy, growling in a way that would have made Logan proud.
The sweetness in Rogue's smile grew as she answered, "Yeah, Ah did. Ah wanted ta do this!" with that she accessed his own powers, absorbed years earlier, and used them against him, sending him flying into the counter he had been sat at. Once she had done that she accessed Amara's powers to melt the floor around his feet then harden it again, and Bobby's powers to freeze his hands, ensuring that it would be some time before he could move them to get to his glasses and free himself. "No one talks t' mah man lahke that," she told him as she and Remy left the room, his hand resting on her butt.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh yeah, she's really going to be your queen!" Scott muttered sarcastically, even though the entity had left to control his body. He snickered as he felt the entity try to free itself from the kitchen floor.
Suddenly it was back in the darkness with him, "You think this is amusing Mr. Summers?" it asked, harsh voice dangerously low, "I have been waiting for millennia for this woman to be born, do you really believe that minor setbacks like her dislike or that STUPID, FUCKING CAJUN?!"
Shocked, Scott stared at the entity, it had never exploded like that before. 'If that Gambit has one redeeming point,' he thought, 'aside from the fact that he loves Rogue, it's that he pisses this…thing off so much.' "So why Rogue?" he asked.
The entities voice took on a dreamy quality, "Her powers, her strength, her beauty, her spirit. She is everything a queen should be, she is everything I deserve, everything I need."
Scott realised in shock that the entity, whatever it really was, truly loved Rogue, or at least the idea of Rogue.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, Rogue, Remy," Kitty greeted as the couple entered the rec room.
"Hi Kit, have fun shopping?" the girl nodded, "Good. Ya know where Jean is?"
The younger girl nodded, "Her and tabby went to, like, plan for her hen night," the girl gushed, her eyes glazing over as they always did when some aspect of the wedding was mentioned.
"Whah don' ya go help 'em?" Rogue suggested, hoping to get rid of the girl and get some time alone with Remy.
"Like, ok."
The couple watched as Kitty raced out of the room, heading for Jean's bedroom. Once she was out of sight Remy sat in one of the chairs and drew Rogue onto his lap, kissing her tenderly'
"Hey guys, do you know why Scott's stuck in the middle of the kitchen floor?" They pulled apart as Jamie raced in, curious to his leaders plight.
Rogue laughed as they answered his question, neither really minding that it was the younger boy who had interrupted them, though if it had been anyone else they would have been left in pieces.
"He deserved it," the boy stated as they finished.
"Dat he did," Remy agreed as he removed one hand from around Rogue, who was still on his lap, and ruffled the boy's hair.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Could you please report to the danger room?* the professors voice echoed in the minds of all the X-Men but Scott.
Remy and Rogue groaned, they had only just found some time alone and they didn't even get the chance to make use of it.
"Ah wonder what he wants?" Rogue mused, slipping back into her clothes.
"Don' know chere," Remy murmured, watching her dress while making no move to do so himself.
"Ya plannin' on missin' th' meetin' then?" she asked him as he rose from the bed and walked towards her.
Remy grinned at her, "Remy ain't an X-Man chere," he reminded her, "Neit'er are y'."
She kissed him briefly, her hands lingering on his bare torso, before pushing him away, "This could be important so get dressed," she kissed him once more before leaving for the briefing room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Vhat is it professor?" Kurt asked as they trooped into the briefing room.
"Like, yeah," Kitty agreed, "I was, like, sleeping," she yawned widely proving her point.
"I apologise for the late hour," the professor told them, "But we have many things to discuss."
Jean looked around her, "Where's Scott?" she asked, since she and Tabitha had still been up and planning the hen party.
"I'm afraid Scott is what we must talk about…"
AN: Dammit, cliff-hanger. I don't know what's going on with this fic, it was meant to be plotless Romy fluff and then the plot crept in and took over, putting Scott in where he wasn't wanted. I'm sorry.
Anyway the reason this took so long is because I was trying to give my villain a name but I think it works better this way.
There are only about four of five chapters left now, I think. Exorcising Scott, the hen party, the wedding, a fluffy Romy chap and then Remy and Rogue go home. There may be more though, (I'm considering having some bad guys interrupt the wedding) depending on how I feel and the reviews I get. I'm also taking votes on who should leave with Rogue and Remy, I'm fairly certain that Jamie is going but anyone else will be considered.
Caliente: You are a good little reviewer, my dear, and still an angel. I don't know what you're talking about but I'm intrigued, tell me more please.
Aro: Is this really on your favourite stories list? Really? I'm glad I made you laugh though and thanks for being the first person to review my other story.
Remy Shall Kill Belladonna: Please do send your best smut sample, it can't be worse than anything I could write. My email is in my bio thingy so just send it to that.
ishandahalf: Scott mental torture this time, and some physical violence too, plus Romy (including naked Remy, even though I didn't describe). What more could you ask for?
Calliann: It worked, yay (sings) I made Scott look stupid, I made Scott look stupid! I ain't that sweet really and my praise to you was just me being honest. Loved chapter 16, by the way, where is 17? Update it soon.
Lightspeed Suzuka: So glad you love my stories, I'm going to keep it up, slowly but surely.
rogue4eva: Why do people hate Scott and Jean? I really don't like Scott (it's part of the reason I'm being so mean to him) but I don't have anything against Jean. Anyway glad you like the story, more evilness to Scott in this chapter so enjoy.
Irony1: My GOD!!!!! How can anyone do that much, I know I couldn't cope (although I am going to do English language, English literature, Sociology and a pre teaching course at college next year). Are you some kind of genius? Anyway yep I gave Romyness, and here's some more. Thanks for the new quote, me like.
Wildcat1222: I read your fic, very good, very, very good, update it now, please? Everyone go read A New Beginning, I highly recommend it, it's under action/adventure, all ratings so go read now. Thanks for reviewing my fic by the way, glad you like.
bluefuzzyelf: Welcome to the little slice of insanity I like to call All Grown Up, it's always nice to have new reviewers. Here's what's Scott's problem, what do you think? I'm so glad I've got you hooked.
