Chapter 21: Comeing face to face with the fear of loseing love.
It was friday night, and Rogue was ready to sneak out to meet Mystique, but she didn't wan't to go. She was still suspicious about the insident with the ninja dude.
She paced around her room with her coat on, waiting to go as the rain fell in the darkness outside, and behind it, a loud rumble of thunder. She waited for the lightning and started moveing again as it flashed, knocking out the power and bringing it back again. Rogue ripped off her coat and wen't out of her room, running into Alistor in the deserted corradoor. She had been avoiding him ever since the kiss, but also Remy had OBVIOUSLEY been avoiding her.
Alistor parted his lips to speak, but couldn't find the words so he closed his mouth again, and jumped at the loud rumble of thunder, ratteling the contents of the mantion. Then he just said it.
"Im sorry."
Rogue looked down to her feet and then glanced around to make sure thay were alone.
"Ahm not sure if ah am." She said quietley.
Alistor sighed, half with relief and half with regret, realiseing how much he had complicated things for her. He ran his fingers over her cheek and shook his head.
"You love him?..... and im sorry if Ive jeperdised that in any way, but I can't help what I feel." He said stepping closer and brushing away her hair, he leaned into her and brushed her lips with his, then pulled away and presssed them back together, takeing another fix of the drug that he needed so badley.
He pushed her up against the wall, holding her around the back of her neck and her hips. He moved his kisses down to her neck, listening to her increasing breathing as she ran her fingers through the soft strands of long black hair, whyl the lights flickerd and went out with a flash of lightning outside the window. She was dazed, she didn't know what she was doing.
Alistor reached for the handle to Rogues room, and pulled on it, swinging the door open and pushing her on to the bed. He was so pushy and agressive but at the same time, compleatley gental.
He snaped his head back and jumped up, backing up towards the door. Realiseing what he was about to do. He didn't wan't this, she didn't want this, he didn't feel 'that' way about her, he couldn't, she was the best friend he had ever had....he was confused?
"Marie, I swear, im not usually like this. Im so sorry.....I am."
"Marie?" Said another voice, as Remy enterd the room.
Alistor turned, his heart pounding. Now he's done it, he's rewend everything for Rogue, all because he took one moment to be selfish, wanting her so much for himself. All he could think was that Rogue was going to hate him now that Remy had caught them, and she'd never speak to him again.
Rogue sat up on the bed and looked at Remy, who had an extremeley pissed look on his face, his demon eyes glowed in the flashing storm filled darkness.
"Remy....... Dude, I can explain everything."
"Den y'd better do it soon mon ami!" Remy said with a low and harsh tone, stepping into the room, closer to Alistor.
"She didn't do anything, it was all me cos...c..cos Im a sick son of a bitch." Alistor blurted out, unable to think of anything els to say.
Remy grabbed Alistors shirt and slammed him into the wall next to the door, forgetting the pain in his side compleatley. He leaned his face in close to Alistors, gritting his teeth, trying to fight back the urge to clutch his stinging side.
Rogue jumped up and placed a hand on Remys sholder, makeing him slowley release Alistor and step away. Alistor looked between the two and walked out of the room. Takeing in a deep breath as he walked away, his heart so heavy it was hard to walk, withought breaking down, but he ran his hand through his hair and carried on. 'I hope he dosen't blame her for this...' He thought as he walked away.
Remy turned to Rogue and swallowed hard.
"Is dis why y' would'nt kiss me in de hall de other day?" Remy said quietley, his demon eyes flashing with the light as it flickerd with the energy of the storm. Rogue looked away.
"Did you make de first move?"
"No, ah didn't. Ah swear, he kissed me and that was all."
"But you were-" He was cut off when he gestured to the bed, by Rogue. She placed her fingers on his lips.
"Never." She wisperd, feeling Remys jaw clench. "Ah would never do that to ya, ah swear, it onley got this far cos it supprised me." She said, the words flowing from her mouth, she knew that it was the truth, she was just confused about her feelings for Alistor. That was definate.
Remy looked into her emerald eyes, and smiled weekley. One thing about Rogue and Remy, was that they could read each other, find out what they were feeling, in each others eyes, more so Remy because of his power of empathy, she was telling the truth. He took her hand from his lips, and sighed in relief, then rememberd the twinge, and jerked slightley with the sharpness of it.
"Y' promis me?" He said, his eyes pleading her to hold him.
"Ah promis ya sugah, ahl never leave you, ah love you."
Remys eyes snapped to her again, shed never said it before now. This brougt on one of his famous grinns. He checked over her eyes again and kissed her fingers. He didn't want to lose her, especially not to this.
"Den Remy loves y' back. He always has."
"Am ah forgiven?" She ast.
"Oui." He kissed her forhead and colapsed to his knees with the pain in his side,
Rogue wen't down too and checked over the wound. It was fine, but it needed cleaning. This was her choice, she enjoyed takeing care of Remy, she enjoyed loveing Remy, every day was a different adventure that made her love him even more. She'd never doubt it again. She never felt this way about anyone before.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone was suited up and in the jet. The x-men had been sen't on a mission to Stop a gang of mutant haters from hurting a family of mutants somewhere on the outskirts of town. When they arived, Cyclops, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Onix were sen't into the abandonned buildidng to find the hostages, whyl everyone els stayed fighting outside with the men who had been rioting outside.
Storm brought a fog to couver the place, whyl Jean used her power to move the rioters out of the way, and into the police vans. Wolvereen and Iceman held off the few that tried to attac them, and Beast discussed the situation with the police who were already at the scene, though they wernt happy with mutants helping them out.
The team inside the building had checked out 3 floors of the 12 floor building. Shadowcat and Nightcrawler were a floor ahead of Cyclops, Rogue and Onix, waiting for them to catch up.
"Get back hear Onix!" Scott yelled at the man couverd in black crystal as he walked on ahead of him
"Bite me Summers." He mumbled.
"Stop dissapearing, wer'e supposed to be a team!"
"Then stop throwin those fucking digs at me!"
"Onix, man you deserve everything I say to you."
"Screw you ya damn pole jockey!"
"What! You do know Im your team leader right?! You take your orders from me!"
"Then grow the fuck up kid, and act like a damn leader!"
"HEY!!! Wha don't ya both grow the fuck up and focus on what wer'e sposed ta be doin!" Rogue yelled, makeing the two bickering men tern around startled.
Rogue pushed between them and checked the final door on the floor.
"Damn it, this is gonna take forever!!" Rogue sighed out. She looked at the two boys who seemed to be in shame after being put in thair place. "Well are ya gonna stay there or come lookin for the family wer'e tryna save." Rogue hissed at them. She walked on ahead, being startled by the ~bamf~ and sulphorous smoke that appeard infront of her, revieling Kitty and Kurt.
"Weve like, found them." Kitty chirped out quietley.
"Zay are vell guarded on ze 5th floor, zere is about 10 men in each room." Kurt said.
"Yea, and thair like, totaly armed and dangerous." Kitty carried on, grabbing Scotts arm and dragging him through a wall, to the staircase. Kurt grabbed Alistor and Rogue, and telaported to the next floor.
Onix looked around the corner, seeing 5 guards with automatics, sitting around playing cards.
Scott walked in from the stairs and tripped on a broken floorboard, and crashed down. Onix roled his crystal blue eyes, and watched as the guards picked up thair guns and headed there way. He turned and warned everyone.
Rogue was the first one to start fighting, hand to hand combat with two of the men, whyl the others buisied themselves with other guards.
Rogue blocked a hit and kicked out backwayrds, then spun around and drained one man, then continued fighting with the other. She punched with her right hand, then with her left, she kicked into the mans abdomen and then his shin, sending him to the ground. Then she squeezed a point on his neck and he was out like a light. She ran over to Alistor, who didn't know abaout a gun that was trained on his, un-crystaled form. She kicked the gun out of the mans hand, and a shot wen't off, hitting Kitty in the stomach and she folded down.
Alistor ran to her and grabbed her by the sholders, dragging her around the corner, out of fireing range, he applied pressure to the wound and held her up as the blood seaped through her costume slowley. The bullet was still inside her and it was stopping half of the bleeding.
"Oh shit!! Im like, gonna die arnt I.... argh, it hurts so much. I like, haven't ever been shot before." Kitty said as she leaned against Alistors chest.
"Don't worry Kit. Ya gonna be fine, trust me." He said tightening his grip on her.
"Rogue!!!!" Alistor shouted as Kitty passed out. "Rogue she's loseing a shit load-a-blood!!"
Rogue looked over to see her friend limp in Alistors arm, her face pale and drained. She pulled out the comunicator, as she took out two more of the guards, leaving Scott and Kurt to deal with the other one.
"Jean, we have a problem... Kitty's bin shot and she's passed out, loseing allot-a blood, we need some help from Beast. now! floor 5." Rogue said into the communicator as she ran over to her friend, she kneeled down infront of them.
"Onix, go with them and find the familie, Ill be along after Jean comes and gets Kitty....GO!"
Alistor nodded and lay Kitty down, then followed the other two into the hallway.
"Come on Kitty, open ya eyes girl." She said as she pressed onto her wound.
Jean smashed through the window, and ran over, picking Kitty up and takeing her out through the window. Rogue caught up with everyone els.
Onix powerd up, sending a bright swirling white light around his black crystal covoured body, and sarted shooting beams of white light at people sending them hard into walls, whyl Scott did the same with his optic blasts. Kurt was no-where in sight, but there wer 7 guards in the room, so Rogue joined in the cahos, knocking out 4 of them, the rest were taken care of by the others.
They walked into the next room, immediatley diveing to the side, from the gunfire from the remaining 3 guards standing outside a locked room that looked like a walk-in freezer.
Onix threw a beam of energy-light at the closest guard, acsidentaly breaking his neck when he hit the wall. Onix twitched, something horrid ran through his mind, something familiar about what he had just done, but what?
Scott took out another guard, and Rogue ran at the last, kneeing him over and laying in the hardest blow to his head.
Kurt teleported inside the room and took out the familie of three, and took them all to the roof, where the x-jet was waiting for them to rejoin the group.
(A/N: Ha! You thought you were safe from the dreaded authors notes! Mwahahahahahahah Mwahahahahahah *Alistor clears his throut and crosses his arms, tapping his foot.* Okay! Fine, Ill stop the manic laghter! Alistors my imagionary friend by the way.... thats why he's always hear, he's my muse too, so any crappy story lines I do can be blamed on him. Do you guys even want 'another' sequal to this....cos I have plans for at least another two plots.......Tell me in your reviws, cos If you think that this one sucks....which you probably will by the end...or already, then you wont like the next one.)
