It was eight o'clock and Rogue was just leaving the building. She had been a bitch all day, it made her feel bad but at the same time some people that used to walk all over her were put in their places. She was happy to be her old self again; so many old feelings that made her The Rogue had been buried for so long. She walked to a pay phone and called Laraknid. "Pick me up bye," Rogue said quickly then hung up.
She felt someone behind her. "Move now unless you have a death wish," she warned.
"Like Rogue it's me Kitty," Kitty said giggling.
Rogue turned around," And? Your not special," Rogue said.
"Like Rogue your on your period aren't you?" kitty said.
"What? No I'm not. Why the hell is it any of your business what's going on with my body anyway?" Rogue said her eyes narrowing.
" You've not been this way in a long time Rogue, was it Mystique?" Kitty.
Rogue couldn't even remember if Kitty was there that day or not. "Leave me alone," Rogue said.
Kitty ignored her and went on," None of us know why you left that day, is it tied in somehow?"
Rogue groaned and went passed Kitty and leaned against the wall to wait for her ride. Kitty followed of course and gleamed with cheerfulness just to bug Rogue. "Kitty can I see your phone?" Rogue asked.
Kitty smiled and handed it to Rogue. Rogue smiled and before she dialed a number she looked around and saw an object. She walked over to it and picked it up. It was one of those cans that became a horn when you pressed down on it. Then she dialed some number.
"Hello?" the phone was so loud Kitty could hear it.
Rogue was glad it was Jean since she already didn't like her too much this would truly be fun. She held the can to the phone and pressed. The loud horn sound made Kitty scream and Remy fall out a tree. Rogue hung up the phone and gave it back to Kitty. She saw that her ride was here and turned to Kitty. "Hope her oh so perfect eardrums are so perfectly ruined," and Rogue threw Kitty's phone into a bush. "Meow," Rogue said and Kitty ran after it.
"That wasn't nice chere," Remy said.
Rogue put her hand to her cheek and made a '0' with her mouth like she was surprised. "Really?" she said then glared at him. "I'm not nice," she said.
"No your wonderful," Remy said.
"Guess again," Rogue's heart was soaring but her face remained the same.
"Beautiful," Remy said he was telling the truth but playing as if it were a game just like old times.
"Wrong again," Rogue said looking at her covered hands.
Remy went closer to her and wrapped her in a hug. "You are beautiful, honest, carefree-"
Rogue had stopped listening. She loved how she felt now that he was holding her but he also made her angry. ~ He says I'm honest I'm no. I'm not beautiful just different. I'm most defiantly not carefree he doesn't understand, I thought he would but guess I was wrong. I spent all that time being distant to keep my friends safe, he's such an idiot~ Rogue thought.
Laraknid knew she wouldn't be able to keep that act on around him for too long. He got out the car and walked to Rogue and Remy. He cleared his throat and Rogue jolted back to reality and pushed Remy back.
"Do you like understand that I'm like trying to stay out of the bushes Ro-" Kitty said then saw the people in front f her and went silent.
Remy turned to look at Kitty who had twigs in her hair and leaves on her shirt. Rogue took the time to mouth the words 'I'm sorry' To Laranid. Remy caught it through the corner of his eyes and Kitty just recognized the words. Remy glared at Laraknid thinking he was hurting Rogue or something like that.
"The famous Remy LeBeau. King of Hearts and young thief. What are you doing with the X-men? Doesn't seem like your style, especially since you used to be with Magneto." Laraknid said making Rogue feel bad and Remy mad at Rogue thinking she told the world about his personal life and all.
Rogue grabbed the key," I'll be in the car," she said then she went inside.
"What you done to her?" Remy asked angered.
"Yeah supposedly since you came things have changed," Kitty said.
"You didn't say 'like' or 'totally' for once good job." Laraknid looked back to Remy," Leave her alone. For everybody's sake, or else," he threatened.
"Remy don't take kindly to threats."
"I know," Laraknid said and went in the car and drove off.
"You saw that right?" Kitty said referring to the words Rogue mouthed.
"Yeah, uh hey where's Kurt?" Remy asked changing the subject.
"Snack machine," she replied annoyed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Back at the car with Rogue~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Rogue-"
"I know I know, sorry," Rogue said.
"No don't be," he replied.
"What I thought I was supposed to," Rogue said.
"You are I just want to praise you," he said.
"What?" Rogue said tilting her head and raising her eyebrow and added a little attitude to her voice.
"I mean you weren't being a puppet and did everything like you were told. You did with you felt was right," he said.
Rogue smiled really happy and confused at the same time. But then he added," at the time," Rogue's spirits fell again. "You did good but remember this whenever your in a situation that feels right at the time just think about what possible outcomes may come from what you are about to do."
"Like?" Rogue asked.
"Lets say for example for this battle the X-men will not succeed and you don't like Jean and you would rather help Scott and Jamie, and Rahne more than anybody else. You have a special relationship with Logan. It wouldn't work if you did whatever you felt like in the heat of the moment because you either like or used to like someone before or have a personal grudge against the person. You may try and Scott who's trying to help Jean who's doing what she is supposed to do. Or Kurt likes Kitty slightly more than a friend but she's with Piotr. You can just imagine how hectic things could get due to feelings." Laraknid said.
Rogue looked at him dumbly," You lost me for a bit but I understand the last thing you said but I still don't see the point," Rogue said.
"You are to stubborn to listen to other people easily. You do what you feel and you don't seem to think about the consequences all the time. If you made a team of your own then you could start over and everybody would be the same in your eyes." He said. Rogue looked at him like he was crazy. "You wouldn't trust Jean with your life would you?" he asked.
"You know the answer to that," Rogue said.
"Exactly my point. With a new team you could learn to trust everyone and no one would mean more or less to you than the other. You job just as well as theirs is to do the best they can and help anyone who needs it. Not help anyone who looks like they need it." He said.
"Ohhhhhh, I heard you but I just didn't understand you. Now I get it though, okay I can handle that," Rogue said.
They went home and Rogue realized that she hadn't fed Lil' Man in a whole. She rushed to his food bowl and gave him lots of food. He had been quiet the last few days. "I'm so sorry buddy. How about tomorrow I take you to the zoo so you can be with you animal buddies," Rogue said.
Lil' Man's tail wagged like a dog's and he went up on his hind legs. Then he went to his food and began to eat. Laraknid showed up with some water and left it by his bowl.
"Lets see how much you remember now," he said and Rogue groaned because she couldn't remember much.
She took her time going to the training room that day dreading what was to come next.
