An: Whoa okay my next chapter, he he. Oh my god I haven't updated in a
while but it mostly because I had Exams to study for. Also my boyfriend and
I broke up and he was what inspired me to write a different Rogue so I just
wasn't feeling it for a while. But I'm back and now there's nothing getting
in my way. You reviewers are so wonderful and thanks for being patient with
me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Rogue woke up the next morning thinking it was all a dream that is till she spotted the card. It was a joker it read ` life and love play tricks on us chere. Remy don't want to forget `
~ A joker? Why a joker? Does it mean he was joking or that it went with his phrase life and love plays tricks on us? Maybe he simply ran out of kings and queens ~ She thought hopeful but feeling frustrated.
"Men," she muttered.
She showered, brushed her teeth and fixed breakfast. She ate then got out of her robe and put on her uniform, she had a feeling she'd need it.
"Marie?" Brandon asked.
"Yeah?"
"Good your not sleeping, we were told to get dressed in our uniforms. That guy said we have to split up and start recruiting, Monica can go by herself because she watched you do it before, I have to go with you then go by myself. Were eating breakfast now and it's good. We leave in an hour," he said before leaving.
"Woman's intuition is never wrong," Rogue joked to herself.
She applied her makeup and brushed her hair. She looked in the mirror and saw something she didn't like. She felt ugly, her nose looked to big to her and she always hated her chin. She walked to the bathroom and washed off all her makeup and applied it again leaving the blush out. She looked in the mirror again and saw a partially red face from scrubbing so hard, and then there was her liner eye shadow and lipstick. She looked and felt better; she grabbed the brush and began to brush her hair. She began to think about last night and being with Remy. She wondered how he did it. The thought pondered in her head for so long she only snapped out her thoughts when her head felt num.
"Damn it," she said.
She had brushed her hair the entire time she thought and now her hair was soft and silky like Jean's hair. She liked how it shined and seemed to make her glow; it made her sick as well. She looked at the clock and noticed that time was short.
"Why can't you recruit as well?" Rogue heard Monica say as she came downstairs.
"I have lots of other work, now get," Laraknid said as he shoed her away
Rogue looked at Brandon he was dressed in a gray spandex suit, and it had the sigh of ying and yang in the center of his chest. He wore a big black pair of gloves and they too had the same symbol, same boots as Scott just black.
"I assume you both know how to drive?" Rogue asked quietly.
"Nope," they both said pouting a bit.
Rogue sighed," Well how about this I drop you guys off wherever and we meet an hour later the place where I dropped you off," Rogue ordered.
"Or better yet communicator's for everybody, just press the ear piece and everybody hears," Laraknid said.
They took them and waited outside for Rogue," What is it you do here al day anyway?"
"Research and daily checkups," he said simply.
Rogue wanted more information but she had no time she grabbed her keys and went to the car and let them in. "Shot gun," Monica yelled.
"What the hell is shot gun?" Brandon asked.
"Front seat," she said.
"No, I call shot gun," he said.
"Ha but I said it first," she stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah but I didn't know what it was so it doesn't count," he repeated her actions.
"How about you do rock, paper, scissors," Rogue suggested.
"Okay ready set go," Monica said then next you heard," Ha rock beats scissors."
"No these aren't scissors this is a man standing sideways and he can kick a rock out of his way," Brandon said.
"It's a big rock like a boulder," Monica said.
"Monica sit in back you sat in front when I got you now it's his turn," Rogue said finding this amusing.
She pouted but did as she was told, they drove for a bit till stopped," Wait these people live nowhere near Bayville. They live in Texas, New York, and Virginia. How the hell-," Rogue started to complain but she heard static through the communicators.
"Rogue, come back there's a big bunch of surprises here," she heard Larakinds voice say.
She didn't reply but she did it, "Please say we have jets."
They rode and Monica and Brandon kept going back and forth from radio station to radio station. Rogue paid no mind she was slowly getting used to it. They arrived back home and ran inside. Rogue didn't know where to meat him at, there were still about at least ten other rooms she hadn't seen. She ran past the gym to a door in the idle of the hallway. She opened it and it looked like a giant garage.
"Sorry about that," Laraknid apologized.
He arrived in the room and smiled. "So is it a jet?" Brandon asked a bit excited.
"Better," Laraknid said.
"It's two Jets and seven simply hands on flying machines, Marie you head has a lot of great ideas you just need to take time to put them together." He praised.
"Ohh so we taking these," Brandon said anxious.
"Yes but it's all auto pilot so all you have to do it start it, the coordinates are already set in there." He said.
"So who takes what there only two jets and three people?" Monica said.
"You two will take the jets * points to Monica and Brandon *. You have more experience Rogue so you take the hands on one. The jets have an automatic fighting system since you two aren't eligible for proper fighting yet. Destiny has seen danger coming so be on guard and be patient these mutants are mostly just getting their powers, they probably can't control it," Laraknid explained.
They all nodded and got on their flying machines. Rogue felt like she was trying to sit on a boogie board or something. She watched as Brandon and Monica took off. "Rogue I'd like you to run a simple errand for me," he said.
Rogue narrowed her eyes and sighed," What now?"
"Your friend Jamie will be of great help to us. If you could-"
"I'm not going to do it. He's happy where he's at," Rogue objected.
"But for how long? We need everybody weather they can only mimic people." Laraknid said.
"Fine," Rogue snapped.
"And your friends Jean and Rahne too," he said.
Rogue almost fell off her machine. "She won't be easy.at all."
"Then tell her everything if you have to she's very valuable blackmail her if you have to," he encouraged.
"Okay but does it have to be now I really don't want to-"
"It does have to be now. Time is wasting," he said.
"I will not I've changed my mind I will not do it. I've betrayed them lots and the least I can do is let them be," she said.
" You haven't a choice do it or else," he was getting angry.
" What?" she stood up and held out her arms challenging him.
"I wish not to fight you but I know you won't take that type of answer so I'll show you," he said.
He seemed to disappear much like Kurt does but no smoke. He appear right behind her and kicked her in the back," You forget I have every single memory you have and I even have some of the same habits now. You can beat me," she stepped on her back cutting her air supply short and hurting her chest.
He backed off and she rolled on her back and caught her breath then stood up and dusted herself off. She growled as she acted as if nothing happened and got back on the strange device and was off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jean wasn't feeling well again, it was as if she as losing control again. She could hear people's thoughts randomly and she was feeling hot and powerful at the same time. She was currently lying in her bed when rogue entered her room.
"Rogue?" she couldn't talk too loud or it would be painful.
Rogue could tell from her voice this was going to take a while," Jean I need to ask you a favor," she hated to ask.
"Wh-what type of favor?" Jean asked.
"I need you to come with me back to my house with Jamie," she said.
Jean stood up covering herself leaning against the wall. " Why?"
Rogue almost couldn't say. She didn't know what to say without it sounding like something out of a movie. ~ Oh hi Jean something bad is about to happen and I know nothing of it except that it's the reason why I've been o bitchy and if you don't come with me this world supposedly will die. Or maybe hi Jean sorry to barge in like this I've been ordered to recruit you to my team and you can't say anything or things will go wrong and you have to be mean to your friends from now on. Gee Rogue what did you do to deserve this? ~ She though bitterly.
Jean heard her who conversation with herself. " Rogue I don't understand what type of bad things will happen?"
"Hey who gave you permiss-" Rogue started.
Jean giggled," Just like old times huh? Sorry."
"No you have the right I haven't been trust worthy lately or ever really," Rogue smiled nervously.
"So I don't have much of a choice to go because I know it's for the best from your thoughts and you know what I hate and could blackmail me. But what I don't understand is why do I have to be mean?" Jean started coughing.
"Laraknid will explain," Rogue groaned. "Why aren't you.you know angry with me?"
"I was mad but I just had a feeling you weren't what you put yourself to be. It made no sense how one day you were happy and the next you were back to being.well you know. And me being a telepath and all need to trust in my feelings. Plus I ain't feeling to well," Jean said.
"Sorry I wanted to leave you two be but I didn't have much of a choice. Call Jamie and Rahne up here and we'll leave," rogue said.
She saw as Jean concentrated and then smiled," I told them you were here."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jamie was running to Jeans room when he bumped into Logan and Rahne. "Watch it," Logan said.
"Rahne come with me it's important please," he breath out of breath.
"If it's so important then I can come right?" Logan growled being a pain in the ass.
"NO! Only Rahne and I it's a surprise from us," Jamie lied.
"Jamie?" Rahne asked.
He knew she wouldn't go since he was acting so weird. He looked behind Logan," Aww man when did we get beer?" he asked.
Logan looked back and thinking it was his beers he let his claws out and began to walk. Jamie quickly and quietly mouthed to Rahne that Rogue was here. Logan knew Jamie had done it to get him away but he realized to late. He sensed that Rahne was now just as hyper as Jamie.
"Mr. Logan gotta go," Rahne said quickly changing into her wolf form running towards Jean's room.
"RO-" they both began to scream when the two older girls put their index fingers over their lips and shushing them.
"Jamie, Rahne I need you two along with Jean to come to my home with me," Rogue again hated to ask.
Jamie and Rahne hugged Rogue," Sure anything we've missed you but we gotta get permission first," Rahne said.
"No Rahne they must not know. It's important and everything will be explained," Jean said.
They nodded," Okay Rahne with me Jamie with Jean we leave now," Rogue said.
Minutes later Rahne was on Rogue's back admiring the aircraft. Jean even though she wasn't feeling well insisted she fly instead of Rogue having to go back and forth getting people. She was also flying Jamie with her. "You know we all really missed you," Rahne said.
"I have missed you all too," Rogue replied.
"Especially Jamie he didn't have anyone to go to when he got left out or picked on. He refused to talk to me, which is okay because I refused to talk to him when it happened to me. We didn't believe you had went insane because of all the people in your head like they said." Rahne said.
Rogue felt almost angry. "They said I was insane? That's funny I'm not it's just I had responsibilities." Rogue said.
"Spooky," Rahne said once she saw the house.
Rouge landed in the back yard and brought all them inside. "Rogue you've done well," Laraknid said.
"Thank you master," Rogue said sarcastically.
"Hardy har har very funny you're way beg=hind schedule I suggest you get going," he said.
Rogue groaned in anger but listened," Fine give me my list and I'm gone," she said.
"It's programmed inside," he said.
She waved him off and began to leave," Rogue you're leaving us with him?" Rahne wasn't comfortable of leaving and he had no real scent, which scared her.
"Don't worry he won't bite unless you say so," Rogue said.
"Huh?" Jamie asked.
"Uhhh she means that I'm a Vampire," Laraknid said.
Rogue know he be explaining for a while so she smirked and dragged herself to do what she was supposed to be doing.
