Peace215: thanks, I wasn't really sure if Marianne was like a real person,
since this is my first OC-story. But, uhm, what's with the list? About
what? Thanks for the cookie, by the way, I love chocolate cookies!
Damn-my-name-was-taken: yup, Shadow's a bit creepy, but he's really a good guy. He and Marianne WON'T get involved, their relationship is strictly very good friend, and yes, Van, I'm sure you're more attractive then him. *sjeesj, boys and their ego!*
Ej-83: Shadow's NOT her ex, believe it or not, I know where I'm (kinda) going with this story, and it's not in that direction.
Agent-G: I'm glad you liked it so far. Thanks for the comment on Quicksilver, I didn't know whether that was a good part.
Thanks for the reviews!
Just a Girl - Meeting
"Man, can't we have one normal christmass? Now we gotta go an' rescue Marianne?" Rogue huffed as she trudged through the falling snow.
"She got kidnapped, Rogue, it's not like she had any choice," Scott replied stiffly.
"She still can't handle herself in battle. Ah don' think she evah will," Rogue pointed out.
"She just needs more training. Have patience with her. You're always being hard on her, Rogue. You keep on forgetting that she grew up with people protecting her. And the guy who kidnapped her, knew exactly when and who to kidnap. He must have been watching us for a while," Scott was going into paranoia mode.
"Scott! Get off o' the paranoid kick! Ah mean, Marianned has the whole 'damsel in distress' thang goin' fer 'r. Add the fact that livin' with us has made 'r known as a mutant, it probably has nothin' ta do with us X- men," Rogue tried to calm him, but it was true, Marianne had the whol helpless girl thing going, once you counted out her ability to mouthe you off quite badly, she seemed unnervingly harmless
"This is not helping, Rogue, Do you wanna go tell her brother that she got kidnapped from under my very nose? I don't think any optic blasts can save me from him. You remember how badly he scared those stuck-up mutant hating kids that were throwing stuff at her three weeks ago?" Scott winced at the treatment he would recieve from Devon if Marianne would have been hurt while she was under their care.
"Good point. The professor did say she was out here, right?" Rogue supressed the urge to grin.
"Yeah, she was supposed to be in a nearby cave," Scott looked around, the snow was starting to fall less and less. To be honest, he didn't understand why someone would kidnap a person and then keep her close to where he had kidnapped her from, especially when he had seen that she had friends who would go look for her.
Finally, Scott picked up sounds, he signalled Rogue and the narrowed in on the location, only to hear Marianned lecturing her kidnapper.
"You know, Shadow, you are by far the most brainless guy I have ever met in my life. I knew that the first day I met you, taking on the black panther guy by YOURSELF! You never think, you NEVER consider how you actions effect people around you. You didn't even bother to ask me if it was okay with me to be left behind. You didn't even bother to wonder if it would be okay with ME if you come racing BACK into my life," they heard Marianne's voice.
"Someone made Marianne very pissed of," Scott whispered.
"Ah agree on that," Rogue nodded. If there was something she respected about Marianne, it was her temper, as she had witnessed some of her outbursts against the Brotherhood when they bothered her at school.
"Aw, come on doll. As in my own defense, that black panter guy was tryin' ta kill ya. An' I left ya so yer brother could come an' get ya. 'Sides, I promised ya I'd find ya 'fore christmass, didn' I?" another voice, Scott had no doubt that was her kidnapper. Although kidnapper seemed a bit of a big word. Marianne did seem to know him from one point of her life and the way they talked, he figured that Marianne had some issues with the guy.
"And it stopped snowing, so we are going back to the mansion where YOU can explain why you kidnapped me from under Scott's nose," Scott could practically see her poking at the man's chest.
"You don't have to do that, Marianne, we came looking for you," Scott finally decided it would be better to step out into the cave opening.
"Cyclops! Rogue! You guys came for me!" Marianne gushed, forgetting all about Shadow, Scott, however, hadn't and was glaring at him. Although that didn't quite reach target because of his shades.
"Hey! What's with the enthusiasm, doll? It's not like I'd hurt ya or somethin'," Shadow objected against her being so glad of seeing the two other people.
"Yeah, you only scared her half to death by kidnapping her," Scott delivered with a very obvious sneer, "Marianne, come here, we're going home."
"Well, I'm goin' with ya," Shadow pointedly pretended not to hear Scott's hostility.
"What?! No! No way!" Scott stepped towards the other boy. Shadow looked of about his age, his unruly black hair fell to reach his shoulders, his dark brown eyes had defiance and rebellion clearly written in them. Scott wondered how Marianne could know such a person, he just didn't seem like the kind of person that would hang around Marianne.
"Ah hafta agree with Cyclops on that one," Rogue joined in, keeping her eyes fixed on Shadow.
"But... but he could really help you guys out. He's very good with fighting, he saved my life once, I mean: REALLY saved my life. Some big, black panther mutant thought I was... was good prey. If it hadn't been for Shadow, I would have been dead," Marianne shivered at the memory of being stalked by that mutant, being hunted down, knowing that the very next minute could very well mean the end of her life.
Scott grumbled at this, realising that they did owe this Shadow something for saving Marianne's life. Even though they didn't know her back then, but if it wasn't for him, they would never had known her.
"Okay, you can come. But break one rule, ONE rule, Shadow, and you're out," Scott warned him, Rogue simply huffed.
On their way back to the mansion, they didn't talk, well, Scott asked Marianne if she was okay. According to her, she was fine, and promptly sneezed. That caused Scott to cast yet another glare at Shadow, who was towing his bike along.
Damn-my-name-was-taken: yup, Shadow's a bit creepy, but he's really a good guy. He and Marianne WON'T get involved, their relationship is strictly very good friend, and yes, Van, I'm sure you're more attractive then him. *sjeesj, boys and their ego!*
