**I cant believe I got this far! I was expecting it to be a short
story...but you know what I like it better like this...hehe. Thanks to my
reviewers! Enfant-terrible and DemonRogue13...this chapter is for you
two!!! Here is Chapter 10 and I have decided who to hook up Rogue with. It
wont be this chapter, but it will be coming soon! I am also looking for an
idea for another OC character (for reasons I will reveal later on...hehe).
So lemme know!**
Chapter Ten: Sleuthing with the Enemy
Ever since Friday night's events, Darren had been the happiest he has been in a long time. Rogue was so excited for him. She of course like every best friend needed to know the details. She 'Awwwwed' at the kissing part of the story. The other mutants at the Institute think Darren and Rogue are dating in secret...if they only knew.
Sunday...
Darren and the rest of the X-Men just exited the danger room after a two hour drill. Darren and Rogue were finally able to attend now that their punishment was over.
Everyone was panting and trying to catch their breath. Darren looked fine and ready for more. ''Darren aren't you the slightest out of breath?'' asked Rogue as she sat on the cold metal floor.
''No.'' he smiled. She knew what it meant. He was too excited about going out with Pietro tonight to care about the danger room. Scott was pissed off...as usual.
Jean was walking away when Darren ran up beside her.
''Jean?''
''Yea?'' she replied as she turned to face him.
''I'm sorry about the other day with hurting you.'' he said while looking at the floor.
''It's okay. I was just shocked that you were able to block my power like that.''
''Yea, I was confused too, I just don't like people searching my mind. Personal issue.'' he smiled as he walked away.
'Sure.' thought Jean as she entered her room, she was the only one who didn't share a room with anyone.
Darren and Rogue decided to go to a movie on Sunday night. They were allowed to but they had to promise not to use their powers. Which they did, and they knew that if opportunity presented itself, they would. They were going to meet Pietro and Tabitha at seven and go for pizza since the movie started at eight thirty.
Darren and Rogue were ready by six thirty and decided to get out of the mansion fast. Scott and Jean were getting ready to watch a movie that night in Scott's room. Darren was pretty sure they wouldn't be watching a whole lot of the movie.
In the Car...
Darren, driving as usual, turned on the radio and Linkin Park's ''Numb'' came on, he was able to tell the song struck a cord in Rogue. She just looked out the window, he quickly turned it off and began normal conversation.
''I'm nervous.'' he said, keeping an eye on the road.
''Don't be. You two have already been on a date, so you don't need to worry about it.'' she smiled reassuringly.
''Thanks.'' he smiled back. His eyes were almost completely gold, Rogue liked it a lot.
At the pizza place...
Rogue and Darren walked in, hand in hand. They were best friends, so they decided it was okay for them to hold hands. They saw Pietro and Tabby in the corner booth talking animatedly.
Darren and Rogue approached and took a seat in the booth. Tabby and Darren on one side and Rogue and Pietro on the other.
''So, what's up?'' asked Tabby, breaking the long and awkward silence. ''Nothing really. Rogue and I are finally ungrounded.'' said Darren as he looked at his boyfriend, who was right in front of him.
''That's cool. SO what do you like on your pizza?'' asked Pietro as he saw the waitress coming near. ''Anything really.'' smiled Darren, as started to play footsies with Pietro under the table. Rogue and Tabby just stared at them and laughed.
After about ten minutes, the pizza came (it was cheese). They dug in and randomly started talking about whatever popped into mind. A little kid walked by their table and stared at Darren's eyes. ''Mommy-'' the kid whispered to the middle age woman to Darren's left, ''Is he a mutant?'' he asked. Darren dropped his pizza and looked at Pietro nervously. The mother looked at Darren's eyes.
''You know what? Take a picture it lasts longer, now get moving.'' smiled Tabby as she motioned for the lady to get moving. ''You sick mutants.'' muttered the woman as she went to the front desk, and within five seconds, the manager came over to the table.
''Excuse me?'' the tall, chubby man asked.
''Yes?'' asked Darren politely.
''This woman complains you are causing a problem. Also that you are mutants.''
''We weren't complaining. Mutants? Is that a problem if we are?'' asked Pietro rudely.
''If you are, I am going to have to ask you to leave, before this turns into something we don't want.''
Pietro and Tabby's Brotherhood instinct was surfacing. Darren gently grabbed Pietro's hand to calm him down. Pietro calmed down and upped and left. Rogue and Darren were the last ones out, and the manager stared at them.
''One of you has to pay for that.''
''If we were treated normally we would.'' said Darren, his eyes illuminating a bit as his anger grew.
Rogue grabbed him and they ran out.
''Holy shit. What if the professor finds out?'' said Rogue as she had trouble catching her breath. ''We are so screwed.'' laughed Darren. Pietro came running over and hugged Darren. ''What was that for?'' asked Darren as he accepted the hug. ''For being mine.'' he smiled as they entered a passionate kiss.
They stood there in the street, making out. Darren pressed his tongue in and massaged Pietro's. Tabby and Rogue just awed the whole time. ''I love you.'' whispered Pietro as he broke away from the kiss and held Darren's hand. Darren replied, ''I love you too.''
They began walking to the movie theater, when something unexpected happened. Jean and Scott came trotting up behind them. Luckily, Darren and Pietro weren't still holding hands.
''What the fuck is this shit?!'' yelled Scott as he saw his two teammates with the enemy.
''Scott, calm down.'' said Darren as he approached his leader.
''Calm down? You are with the enemy!''
''You think I don't know that? Come on, we are just going to a movie...its not like it's the end of the fucking world!'' said Darren. ''Wait until the professor hears about this!'' yelled Jean.
''Why are you gonna tell on us?'' mimicked Tabby.
''Don't mimic her.'' growled Scott.
''Threatening are we?'' asked Pietro.
''Stop. Darren say good bye. We are going to go home, and deal with this. We are not going to have a fight on the middle of Franklin Street.'' said Rogue, her eyes beginning to white over, she was obviously trying to access Storm's power.
Darren obeyed. He said goodbye to Tabby and to Pietro. He went over and kissed Pietro on the cheek and whispered, ''I'll call you.'' At this, Scott and Jean's jaws dropped. Then both of their faces began to harden in anger.
''See you at home.'' laughed Darren as he and Rogue went off to the car laughing.
Back at the Mansion....
Darren and Rogue entered the house to find all the teammates sitting in the living room, angry.
''Sit Down.'' was all Professor X said.
**I hope you liked. I know its not my best...I've been under stress lately. Now that I am on vacation, more chapters will be uploaded.! Read and Review thanks!!**
