An: This was actually a dream I had about a month ago and I wrote it down
because I was bored.
Summary: I'm not sure where this is going I just dreamt of it (
Pairings: Not telling yet.
Some info: In this story takes place about a year and a half after Apocalypse and Remy had joined the team. Every still looks the same and Rogue isn't able to touch still.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Rogue?" he asked.
I didn't answer I couldn't what would I say. Uh David I'm a mutant sorry I knocked you into coma all that time ago. By the way how long were you out anyway? "Hold on," I say.
I quickly buy the jacket and walk out the store pulling him with me. "You look different," he said.
"Why are you talking to me? Don't you know what really happened that day at the party? I know they didn't try and say you were under the influence because that's not it at all."
I'm shaking slightly I can feel it. He stuffs his hands into the pockets of his pants and sighs. "I know what happened. At first I didn't and I didn't believe them when they tried to tell me that I over worked my body. I figured it out when I saw you on TV a while back and I still to this very day don't know what truly happened but I am positive it was an accident." He said.
He's fucking nuts. He knew I did it and he knows what I am but he's still so nice to me. What's his problem? "What's an Apocalypses? " He may be Mystique.
"Isn't that where we have to wear super sunglasses or something t look at the sky because we can't see the sun?" he answered wrong yes.
"Um no that's Lunar eclipse or Solar on of them but it's nothing but a made up word,' I say.
"Oh well okay so..." he seemed to not know what to say.
"Why did you speak to me? Actually what are you doing here anyway?" I just realize he was in Mississippi last I checked.
"Oh well I've been meaning to see you actually. I want to get a few things straight," he said and leaned against the wall.
"You got a car?" I ask.
"Yup," he said.
"Good follow me, then we talk," I say.
I walk away and get in the van and pull out till I see him behind me. I drive for a while till I arrive at the park and I stop and get out. He gets out as well and I walk towards the picnic area and sit on a table. "Why here?" he asked.
"It's on of my favorite places," I say.
He sits across from me and folds his hands much like the professor does when he looking for words to explain something complicated to us. "Okay first off don't feel guilty about what happened okay?"
Boy he's a lot cockier than before. Makes me angry when people think they know me," Well who said I was feeling guilty about it anyway?"
He gives me a look," C'mon," he breathes out almost amused and I don't like it one bit.
"My ass," I say.
He stops looking like he's amused and looks at me almost expressionless," You are different," he says.
I know it to. "Becoming a mutant that with a single touch can absorb the power of any other mutant. If their human just their physical abilities, appearances and memories. If the contact is too long you may never wake up," it comes out bitterly but I don't really mean it.
He looks at me and seems frozen still. Maybe he hates me I don't know but I'm not the happiest person right now so I'm leaving. I get up and walk away wanting to look back but never do. I get in the car and drive off feeling a bit bad just leaving him there. I drive to the library, it' the perfect time to see him I'm made and he's the only person I know will not annoy me. Piotr needs some help though he's a bit too quiet. I park and before I get out I use the phone in the van and call Kitty's line.
"Hey Kitty, yeah it's Rogue...listen stop giggling okay? I just bought Piotr something and I'm saying it's from both of us so if he asks you if your feeling better or something say yeah much...I'm going to say I touched you and floated to his room and the idea just popped up. Whatever bye." She complains too much.
I finally walk out and make it inside the library. I have a hunch he's in the back so I walk to the back of the library. I've not been here in so long I just remember there's two floors and just take a guess and stay on the first floor. He right there reading a book his back is turned to me and I can tell it's him because he's so big. I have the bag in my hand and right when I'm above him I prop it in his lap and say," Surprise from Kitty and Rogue picked out by Rogue."
He looks up and blinks at me then the bag. I sit right beside him and watch as he takes it out. "How'd you-?" he trails off.
"See I accidentally touched Kitty and floated to you room and saw the old jacket. Sorry," I say.
"Wow apology defiantly accepted," he says.
"Glad to hear it and Kitty will be to," I say.
I see him blush and smile," Hey she does that whenever I mention you cool." I play the idiot but they like each other and they take too long.
"What are you doing today anyway," I love his voice as he says English words it's so cute.
"Um...staying away from home," I laugh lightly since I am in a library.
"Same," he says.
He's really into the book I can tell since he has the same look in his eyes that I do when I'm into a good book myself. I get up and leave and he really doesn't notice and I drive. I don't know what I want to do or where I want to go. I know I do not want to go home with all the girlish activities and I don't want to go any place crowed. Maybe a rooftop or something.... yeah I think I'll do that.
I drive to a tall building and walk in. It feels awkward doing so because everybody here is all dressed up with suits and they are really quiet to. My heels clacking on the floor and the sounds of my leather covered hands rubbing together seem to be the only other noises besides the other heals but still I stick out like a highlight. I go in the elevator and I see it's empty and thank god. I go to the top and am on the rooftop in no time.
"It's so hot," I say aloud.
Having dangerous and uncontrollable skin is a real pain in the ass. Look where it's gotten me. I know they fear me...they all do even though they don't want to. It's only natural and I really can't blame them, but it makes it so much easier sometimes. I can't wear shorts, short sleeves, no sleeves, halters, or anything revealing for fear of touching somebody. I can't swim unless I want to wear a diving suit. I can't have pets or cuddle with even just a friend. Why can't one day everybody dress like I do everyday, and I'll wear shorts? Do I not deserve it? No that's being selfish and a brat. I shouldn't be alone to long I get depressed and angry.
"Maybe I should leave like I was planning to do a while back," I say aloud only because it's to quiet.
My head feels clustered now because if I leave I'll sort o be betraying the team and if I don't I put them all in danger. If I go will Jamie and Rahne be angry and feel betrayed? I know they wouldn't come it ain't that simple. Will the professor be mad or sad that he wasn't able to help? Maybe even Hank to? It may break Kurt's heart that our family is so...well jacked up. Sam will have no one to talk to when he feels homesick and we compare our old southern lives. Kitty won't have any more honest opinions and Ray will be the only one with odd hair.
That's all for if I leave, now if I stay everyone will continue to fear my skin. Kurt I know would feel a little bit better that be has close trustworthy family. Kitty will...well I don't know really. Well it looks like if I leave everybody will be better off. If I leave I'll be sad. If I stay I'll be sad and now that we have Gambit living with us I'll feel anger knowing that I can't touch him and not really knowing if he really even wants to touch me.
"Life sucks ass," it's true for me.
Uh oh what's that feeling? It hurts like I have nothing in my belly and I want to throw up. "Ouch," I hiss because it feels like something is stuck in my eye and my entire body feels weak.
I turn on my side and hold my belly and I smell blood. I didn't know my eyes were closed and they still hurt. I see Logan's claws and Evan's spikes sticking from my body. I'm only bleeding from my hands but it hurts. "Hot," I breathe.
My fingers are shooting small bolts of electricity, I just realize I'm crying and I know my clothes are ruined. I'm glad I have more of the same clothes and gloves. My mouth is open trying to scream but I'm unable to make a sound anymore. I inhale sharply as the little bolts of electricity touch the metal claws and send pain through my entire body. The electricity stopped flowing but the pain didn't stop. My skin turns into fire and luckily so does my clothes but the claws stay in their metal form. More pain that's all it is. The metal starts to get hot and I can feel the metal inside my body do just the same. I still can't make a sound and it's hard to see. When everything goes blurry then that's when it stops...everything but the pain. My vision is still blurry but breathing is better and I can hear myself. It hurts just to breathe so I don't try and look to see what condition my clothes are in.
"H-how much mo-more of this do I-I have to t-ta-take?" I am happy to hear my own voice.
I lay there as my breathing goes back to normal. I stay there still just completely zoned out just squinting my eyes as I look up and it hurts because the suns out. I see lots of clouds beginning to cover the light bit I keep my eyes just the way they are. After what feels like hours I feel something wet hit me then again and then I realize it's beginning to rain. The rain to me feels like ice. I let my head fall to the side and I see steam. My skin is still really hot. I stare at the flowing blood as the water hits it and the impact makes the blood rise up high and thin reminding me of the sorry pieces to the game sorry. I know I've been here for a really long time I can tell because the water washed away all blood and even though the clouds cover the sky I can tell it's dark out. I finally get up and see all the holes in my outfit and I'm disgusted with the way I look. I look to one side of the building and see stairs as if it were an apartment complex or something, maybe more like an escape route. I climb down seeing s few people on my way. I even almost slipped a few times. I quickly go to the van and drive home.
"Wonder what time it is," I don't have a watch.
I look that the radio and it says almost eleven thirty. There ain't any lights on anywhere so I assume they're watching a movie or are sleep. I put the van in the garage but I walk to the biggest tree in sight and lean against it. The leaves still have water dripping from them but I'm already soaked so I don't care. I turn around facing the tree and pull my glove off. I set my hand against the tree and can feel the structure of the bark. The gloves may be thin but trying to feel with them is like trying to beat a dead horse to death. It makes no sense and is useless. I suddenly feel something soft and warm wrap around me and I know it ain't an enemy the touch was to gentle.
"You're soaked," I turn quickly to meet blue eyes.
"David wha-," my voice is raspy.
"Sorry about back there," he said.
"It's okay I don't really expect you to say oh well you have cursed skin I don't care," I didn't even try to hide my hurt but I don't think he could really tell.
"I'm just happy it wasn't on purpose," he was talking about at the dance.
I close my eyes and it feels warm with them closed but I open them again," No way you didn't do anything to me."
"Is this the place you all live?"
"Don't make it sound like we ain't the same as you," the way he said you all made it seem like he was trying to categorize mutants.
" I'd actually think you'd hate humans," he said.
"Not all," it's a joke but it ain't funny.
"So everything is straight between us?"
"I should be asking you that sugah," I say.
"I miss that," he says.
I ignore the comment. No need to get all mushy," How long you going to be here?"
"Not too long but looks like long enough," he says.
"So I'll see more of you?"
"Of course I'd be hurt if you didn't," he said. He turns to leave but then I realize I have his towel.
I run to him and hand it back," Here I'm way too soaked anyway," I laugh.
"Hold it I'll be back for it soon and besides you look terrible," he smiled.
"Gee thanks," my mood is a lot better now.
He leaves again and I finally go inside. "So who's he?" I jump.
"Remy don't scare me like-SHIT Logan you're creepy as hell standing in the shadows like that," they were seriously trying to kill me by just standing there it feels like.
"Gonna answer is question Stripes?" Logan grunts.
"What happened to you?" Remy asked.
"You wreak," Logan sniffs.
"Where you been all day ain't nobody seen you since you left the house 'cept for Piotr," Remy said.
"Kitty's been worried," Logan said.
"Kurt too," Remy said.
"By the way are you okay," Logan says.
They just ruined my mood. As soon as I walk through the door they try to scare me to death then they ask all these questions and the last thing they ask is about my safety. Isn't that supposed to be the first thing you ask a person? And from Logan of all people...maybe the girls had some funky fumes in here and it got to them. Yeah I like that explanation a lot. I walked upstairs to the top floor where my room is and leave their questions unanswered. I ain't even made because I don't care. I take a bath and get dressed and relax. I actually think my explanation was right because as I was in the bath I could smell polish and something else funky. Well that makes me feel better.
