Enjoy!**
Chapter Eleven: Ramifications
"Sit down." was all Professor X said.
Darren and Rogue did as they were told and sat together on the couch facing where everyone was sitting.
Kitty was the only person who looked concerned. Everyone had painted expressions of anger and disgust on their faces, most noticeable on Scott.
"Which one of you wants to explain?" asked Professor X, his hands folded in his lap.
Darren looked at Rogue and he decided to tell.
"We went out for pizza and a movie." said Darren, as he looked around the room, for any sign of compassion, none was to be found except on Kitty's face.
"And we met up with Tabby and Pietro at the pizza place." he continued. Darren then continued to tell about the incident in the pizza place and he told everything, except about the kissing between him and Pietro.
"You want to know something else Professor?" said Scott. Darren immediately knew what he was going to say. "Scott, no please no." begged Darren but it was too late.
"Scott what is it?" asked Charles ignoring Darren's pleas.
"We saw him kissing Pietro in the street." said Scott. Everyone in the room turned to Darren. Darren's eyes began to moisten. Rogue hugged her best friend, anger filling her.
The guys began to say offensive things, the girls were also joining in, a little freaked. Kitty jumped up and ran over to Darren and hugged him.
"Darren is there something you have to say?" asked Charles.
"What's it too you if I kissed Pietro? What does it matter if I prefer a guy instead of a girl. Huh?" asked Darren as he stood up.
"Darren, I think maybe you are confused about this." started Charles, but he was cut off.
"With all do your respect, I think I'm not the one confused. Nothing you can say is going to make me stop seeing him. I love him." said Darren as he walked out of the room, Kitty and Rogue following. "I cant believe he's a faggot." yelled Bobby as Darren walked away. Darren turned around and a beam of light came flying and hit Bobby. Bobby stumbled backwards and was on the ground, paralyzed. "Anyone have anything else to say?" he asked, angry.
"Darren, you are grounded from missions, training and social events until further notice." screamed Storm as she rushed to Bobby's side.
Darren just moaned and went upstairs to the one place he knew he could...Rogue and Kitty's room.
''Oh my god, like I am so sorry for all that. I am also sorry about the whole Kristina thing." said Kitty as she hugged her friend. "Its okay." he said, as he started to breakdown crying.
They helped him up and had him lay on the bed. Kitty laid in front of him, and placed his arm around her torso, while Rogue laid behind him and put her arm around his torso, they made a Darren sandwich and they just let him cry until they all fell asleep.
Saturday Morning...
Sunlight filled the room, pouring onto Darren's tear stained face. He noticed Kitty was still asleep, curled up against him...just like a little kitten. He laughed at the irony. He turned around and noticed Rogue was gone. He quickly jumped up and went to find her. He shivered as he got up. It must have gotten cold over night, before leaving he covered Kitty with a blanket and left the room.
He walked down the hallway, all the doors were closed. He looked at his watch, 11:00 in the morning. Someone had to be up. He continued down the hall. He noticed Storm and Charles' door were open, they were up.
A cold draft of wind caught him off guard. Shivering, his hands started to glow. The light let off a warming heat, which he liked a lot. The usefulness of his mutation. Still he could not find anyone.
He descended the stairs into the main hall, and heard a clatter coming form the kitchen. He turned around and walked in the kitchen. He saw everyone eating breakfast and talking. The minute he walked in everyone looked at him as if he were an alien. Darren just shrugged it off and grabbed a muffin and went upstairs to wake Kitty. Rogue stayed, and did as she needed.
''What the hell is wrong with y'all. Can't you all see he is hurtin'? Last night was the worst night of his life, and you all sit there and don't say anything. Also, last night you all had the audacity to call him a fag and shit. That is fuckin wrong. Am Ah the only one in here who thinks he needs support? Jesus, he wants to fit in, but he can't because he is different. Ah know we all are different, but he is more different. He did not have it easy lately. Everyone was so quick to judge him. Scott you never accepted him because he is a better fighter than you and you know it. Christ get over your own hangups and accept him. Because Ah swear if he leaves this place, Ah will absorb each and every one of you and Ah wont let go and you will die and Ah will feel no remorse. Do Ah make mahself clear?" she said as she looked at everyone in the kitchen.
Everyone just looked at their plates and said nothing. Rogue just stormed out.
Rogue's words stung their ears and minds and each began to think about how they treated him when he first arrived here.
Upstairs Rogue found Kitty in the room. "Where's Darren?" asked Rogue as she plopped onto the bed. "He started to like cry again and I tried to comfort him, but he just went in the bathroom and he's been in there since." explained Kitty.
"Did you phase in?" Rogue asked. "No. He told me to leave him alone, so I decided too, you know to like respect what he wants and all." "Yea, Ah know."
"Darren? Ya wanna come out?" asked Rogue as she knocked on the bathroom door.
*Silence*
"Darren?" squealed Kitty as she was about to phase in.
"No, he said not to phase. He might beam ya. We need the one person who could talk to him." smiled Rogue as she grabbed Kitty and ran down the hall.
**That's it for this chapter! Next chapter: a mission and perhaps some new friendships. I have found Rogue a hookup and I am not telling who it is. Also... im thinking in the future of course...should there be a sequel to this story? Let me know. Thanks...Read and reiveiw please!!!! **
