chapter 19: Smitten

Rogue stormed into the med lab, makeing Hank spin around at the startaling noise.

"Rogue? Whats wrong?"

"Ah need your'e help Mr. McCoy. But ya caynt tell anyone at all!"

"Ok? What is it?"

"Do you have any of Logans blood?"

"Yes, I extracted some yesterday, after her transfurd his powers to you."

"Well, can ya take some of mahn and do a DNA test for me?"

"Why what do you wan't it testing for?"

"Similar genetic markers." She said quietley, as she roled her sleeve up for him to take some blood. Like this was going to proove her wrong, she knew the truth, she just didn't want to tell him.

Hank had questions. But he didn't say anything, he just ran the test, and was stunned at the results. Logan indeed was Rogues biological father. Rogue took the printout and swar him to seacressy before she left. She ran to her room, egnoring everyone. She couldn't settle at all so she wen't into Remys room and closed the door, folding the paper into the back pocket of her jeans,

"Y'allright chere?" He ast when he saw her and stood up wraping his arms around her.

Rogue didn't say anything, she just reached her arms around his neck and brought her lips to his. Remy headed towards his bed. Nither one of them breaking the kiss or opening thair eyes. He lay her back onto the bed and lay over, her deepening the kiss with every second, occasionaly winceing when he felt a twinge in his side.

The kisses moved, slowly, down her neck, feeling her pulse as his lips brushed against her, and back to her lips. He was about to pull her up, so as she was sitting up, but he got a realy bad twinge in his side so he moved off of her and sat clutching his side, as he scrambled for his breath.

Rogue sat up and moved closer to him, takeing a look at his side, and then covering it again.

"Remy 'never' thought he'd say dis chere, but I can't."

"It's alright swamp rat. Ah don't mind." She said laying her head on his sholder, running her hand over his back. She wraped her arms around him, so her hands were placed on his chest as she sat behinf him, and closed her eyes, listening to him breathing as they sat and talked on the bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rogue was called into the proffesers office, along with Remy and the other x-men. Everyone sat in silence, looking at the proffeser waiting for him to talk. He turned his weelchair to face everyone and laced his fingers together.

"This is a serious issue." He said, thinking perposley out loud. "The attempt on Rogues life was obviousley, by a mutant, from the way he or she moved. However, ceribro has detected, no new mutants in the Bayville area." He shifted in his chair and looked at Remy. "Does Magnus have any..... imployees... that are capeable of these movements, and abilities."

"Non. Beside pietro, he moves real fast don he?" Remy replied.

"Yes, possably." The proffeser said thinking again.

"It wasn't pietro proffeser...., ah know it wasn't, the eyes were all wrong." Rogue said, as Remy took her hand, and Alistor sat on the arm of the couch strokeing her hair, looking to Logan, and back to her. His mind wasnt on the matter at hand, and all he could think about was the fact that Rogue was Logans daughter. Charles snapped his head towards Alistor and frowned, as Jean looked to the proffeser, she heard it too.

"Wha would anyone wan't me dead tho?"

"Mybe the attac wan't just meant for you, maybe it was meant for all of us?" Scott suggester.

"Either way, we need it solved before the next attac, assuming there will be one." The proffeser said, bringing his attention back from Alistord thoughts, and turning his chair round to the window. Rogue stood up and looked at everyone who was looking at her, then walked out, with Alistor right behind her. He grabbed her arm and swong her around.

"Where are you goin?"

"Ahve got an idea of who's behind this, and ahm gonna go find out what the hell is going on!"

"Wait,"

"No, ahm goin now. If Mystique has anything ta do with this, ahm gonna kill her..... realy."

"Then at least let me come with you...."

"NO! Just, leave me alone Alistor."

And with that, she ran out of the door, snagging her coat from the pegs on the wall.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Rogue burst into the brotherhood's bording house, findidng no-one downstairs, so she ran upstairs and burst into Mystiques bedroom, Still nothing. So she walked deeper into the room and then turned around, coming face to face with the ninja guy from her balconey.

She lunged her body backwards as the man swiped a samuri sword at her, with a swift sound of the blade cutting through the air. She backfliped away from the man and spun her heavy boots at him, missing twice and then catching him with her fist in his covoured face. He twirled the sward around, trying to catch Rogue, but she just ducked, jumped and dodged the blade every time.

She kicked the blade from his hand and used her other foot to swipe his legs from under him, topleing him to the floor. Rogue was about to stamp on his chest, when he moved from under her foot in a black blur. Rogue turned finding him behind her, so she immediatley kicked out and hit him in the stomach, sending him flying, and breaking one of the posts on Mystiques 4 poster bed.

The ninja guy, picked up his sward again, so Rogue ran at the wall, running up it, pushing herself off into a backflip whyl grabbing the sward that was on display on the wall. ((A/N ha ha, matrix styl.)) Rogue landed in a crouch faceing him, with the sward held in her right hand. She could't help but smirk, it'd been a whyl since she'd had a good fight. Yea sure she was buissied by the brotherhood and all, but they wern't any match for a one-on- one with a guy who tried to kill you.

Rogue waited for a second, and twirled up, slashing at the ninja guy, cutting his baggy black suit across the chest, revieling blue blood on the edge of the sward. She held a defence stance, whyl the ninja moved around in a blur, stoppin behind her and plunging the blade at her, being stopped by a loud *clank*, and a *shwish* As the two blades met and slid along each other, grinding the two metals, before he was the one, trying to stop Rogues blade from cutting in to him.

The two went at the sward fighting for abaout ten minuets, with twirles and footwork along with the endless *clank, clang, clink, clank, shwish* over and over again, whyl they danced for death backwards and forwards, around the room, each trying to outsmart the other with a move of their blade that could end it all.

It carried on, the plungeing at on-another, trying to rip the blades into each others flesh, but each time, one would stop the other and the defending carried on. Rogue noticed that the guy was getting tired, so she did another combination with the sward, untill he was backed against a wall, then twurled and rammed her heavy boot into his face, and then twirled the oposite way with the sward, feeling the blade cutting into something. She got her balance immediatley, in time to see the ninjas head fall from his body, and hit the floor with a squidge, as the body twitched and shook, held up by the Rogues foot. She let go and the body fell to the side, still slightley twitching.

She smiled and wiped some blood from her mouth, at some point he had hit her in the mouth woth the butt of the samuri sward. She gracefully stepped ouver the body, and dropped the blood covoures sward, hearing it clang on the floor boards as she exited the room, still smirking. She knew she could win anyway. She walked out of the house, not finding what she was looking for so she returned to the mantion, finally realiseing that she had just killed someone, and she had been so satified when she did it. Then she wasnt feeling so happy with herself.

Rogue walked through the doors, and passed the kitched, where Remy, Alistor and Logan were all getting along. Her three guys were getting along, her boyfriend, her best friend and her...... father. The sudden sinking feeling, that she had to do something before it was too late, showed it'self in her stomach as it lurched, makeing her feel ill as the memory of her takeing off that mans head repeated in her mind. How could she feel so happy about ending a fight like that. She tried to tell herself that it was either him or her, which it was, but she felt like she was lying to herself. 'Ahm a murderer.' She tought over and over again as she reached out for the banaster of the staircase.

Rogue lay on her bed, looking at her hands, noticeing the small black diary on her pillow, she sighed and threw it to the bedroom floor, and then jumped when a nock came at the door, and in walked Alistor.

"Hey kida..... Did ya find what you were looking for?"

"No, ah didn't."

Alistor lay on his stomach on Rogues bed next to her, and nudged her sholder.

"Whats up?"

"Ah found that guy who was tryna kill me."

"Oh realy? Who is he?"

"He 'was' a hired mutant hitman." She said handing Alistor a black buisness card with white writeing on it.

"What? so he's dead?"

"Yea."

"Did his hire'r kill him?"

"No." Alistor looked at her confused so she carried on. "Ah did. Ah murderd the son of a bitch, and......." She looked away.

"What?!"

"And ah enjoyed it." She said coldley, sending a shiver down Alistors spine. He swalowed and sat up on Rogues bed, feeling slightley awquard all of a sudden. Rogue let out a small,

guess-that-figures-, kind of chuckle as she sat up next to him. She leaned her head on his sholder and wraped her arms around his chest, feeling his heart speed up.

"If ah didn't get him, then he woulda got me first. And ah prefur ta see mah next birthday.

"Why do you have to hide what youre realy feeling Rogue?" Alistor said. "The way you put that was so cold, but I know that your hateing yourself for this."

"Ah know. But ahm the Rogue, ahm not supposed ta feel."

Alistor shook his head.

"Your just Marie around me. The Rogue can be saved for someone els." He said kissing her forhead and leaving the room.

(A/N: Oh and one more thing. *People cuss and throw things* Sorry, but this is a Romy all the way, though there will be a litle something between Alistor and Rogue later on.....what? Im not giveing away the plot! Its not part of the damn plot! Its just thair! *Author gets dragged away and locked up by Alistor who appologises for the fact that the Author wont shut the hell up!*)
