An: Hears the update. Rogue and Bobby...No more so if you like that pairing
and only that then this is not for you. Jean is back and has Phoenix inside
her. Te characters may be...well out of character. If you like Jean a lot
then hopefully you like Rogue more. Also many Rogue pairings so far no real
one but also not until later maybe.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Rogue where are you going?" It was Jean.
"A walk," is all I say. For the past few months I've only been saying what needs to be said and nothing more.
"You've been going on walks a lot lately," she says. I stare at her like `so what? ` "Do you want any company?"
I shake my head no and I see the almost hurt expression on her face. I don't care too much she's not the same Jean. She's more of a bitch now and I only respect the fact that she knows she beautiful and smart but sometimes she acts like she's the best. I walk grabbing my green cloak since it's cold out and keep my blocks up so she can't read or even enter my mind. I walk for about ten minutes and sit at a bench waiting.
"Hey," it's John, he's here to pick me up.
I smile and get in the passengers seat and stare out the window as he drives. We never talk, it's not like we don't like each other we just like to keep to ourselves. I still see him playing with his lighter whenever I see him though. I just notice we have stopped and I get out. I walk into a building and I lift my arms as one of the many officers check to see if I have any metal on me.
"Okay," the man says once he's done and I walk past into an elevator. I press the underground button and the elevator starts to move. It stops real soon and I am able to walk out. I see a guard, they ain't really a guard. "Sup Mystique," I greet.
She nods and in her policewomen cover up she presses a button and that long plastic tunnel like thing comes down. I cross over and sit across from Eric. "So you decided yet?" he asks.
"I have some questions first," I say. He nods and I begin to talk. "Okay first why can't Mystique, John, Toad, Sabertooth do it?"
"Mystique is here to keep me informed about everything she hears since I can't have a phone near me. She's also my protection," he says.
"Protection?" I repeat.
"Yes I'm old and unable to use my powers. If those other guards decide to riot against mutants like I know they want to I'm unable to fend for myself. So yeah protection and information. We at times even have a conversation," he says.
"That still doesn't answer all my question," I say.
"Right. Well John's reckless and crazy at times. Toad is your transportation for one and his appearance is not the best same for Sabertooth. He's your protection anyway. "He says.
"Okay now I have a request. You have touched me before and I still just want to kiss you for that. Anyway I want you to help me just like I'm helping you," I say.
"You want me to teach you how to touch again and you will do my simple task. Wouldn't we be even then?" he asks.
"Never. When I felt like I didn't even exist because I couldn't touch and everything was so wrong, you touched me. Just that alone is so much and besides you're not a really bad person," I smile.
"Okay then we have a deal but I have a question for you. Why? "he asked. "Xavier was willing to help too what makes me any different?"
"Do you like spiders?" I ask.
"They're okay," he says.
"I hate them." I say. "Some people hate us and some people don't. It's always going to be that way. Humans and mutants will never be at peace with each other." I say.
"So you realized I was right?"
"No I just realized some dreams are only that. Besides Xavier comes here every week and still he doesn't notice that Mystique is so close by. Also in one minute you've done more than he could for me in all the time I've been there." I said. "He's to trusting. He can look in your mind whenever he wanted and just find out about our little meeting but does her ever? Obviously not."
"Okay lets get started because to sooner you can touch the sooner I get what I want." He says.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
It's hours later and I feel good. I can't control it yet but I actually talked to my psyches with no yelling. It was amazing I even got to use Mystique's power after I absorbed her for the first time. I fainted about six times though, which is really embarrassing. All I can think of is me working all hard and then BOOM I down. I see John ready to drop me off back to where he picked me up. I get in and smile the whole ride back to that very same bench. I smile at him and begin my incredibly slow walk back home. I'm by a recreation center when I feel pain in my belly. I stop walking at first thinking it'll go away then when I think it's gone I begin to walk again. I'm okay at first but then it comes back lower and more to the side. I know what it is Eric warned me about it. When I used Mystique's power my bones shifted to form and I was too happy to check to see if I was actually me. I lean forward and against the wall.
"Uh are you okay chere?" I heard a voice ask.
