England was great for the lonely girl, but she still couldn't get close to
people. She made many friends and went out with them a lot in the evenings.
One night, the 18 year old was going home from the club early, so she was
totally alone. As she walked, she could feel someone's eyes watching her,
but when she turned around, all she saw was a tan tabby cat running down a
nearby alley. However, when she turned back around, she bumped into
someone.
"Hey! Watch where you're goin' Sheila," came an Aussie voice.
"Sorry, Ah wasn't watchin'," Rogue started, but recognized the pyromaniac. "You! What are ya doin' here?"
"Oh it's you Rogue. Nice to see you, luv. You need someone to walk you home?"
"Nah, Ah'm fine," she replied, extremely uncomfortable around the Acolyte.
"You don't like me much, do you? Well just so you know, I'm not with Magneto anymore. Now let me walk you home. These streets are dangerous," the 21 year old tried to convince the teenage girl.
"It's not like Ah can't take care of mahself. But sure, Ah guess you can walk me home," she said reluctantly. She new he would keep insisiting so she just gave in and started walking again. She noticed Pyro kept looking behind them, like something was following them.
"What do ya keep lookin' for?"
"Just paranoid, luv. Gotta keep the pretty lady safe." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he new he shouldn't have said that.
"Safe from what? Ya know somethin' Ah don't, don't ya?"
"I just know that someone really wants to get to you, ever since you moved out of the mansion."
"What?" the Goth asked. "Who would want me?"
"Well. we should really get you home first."
"Ya know, you're not exactly makin' me want ta trust ya right now. You're keepin' secrets from me."
"I'm the only one you got to trust right now, luv."
"Alright. But Ah won't hesitate ta hurt ya, Pyro."
"I don't doubt it, luv. Now lets go."
Rogue led the way back to her apartment, with her "guard" looking behind them every 30 seconds.
"Alright we're here," she said opening the door to her place.
"Magneto had always known you wanted to get away from the institute. Away from risk of hurting someone. He also said that Mystique wants you on her side and if she can't get you, she plans to kill you."
"So why do ya care?"
"To be honest, I didn't care at first. I've been living in London since I left the Acolytes a month ago. Then I heard you moved here 2 weeks ago, followed by Mystique."
"Who do ya hear this from?" inquired the curious teen.
"Anyone really. Gambit, Colossus mostly. I saw Mystique the other day and she asked me to join her. She told me about her plans for you. I refused her of course and decided to find you first and warn you." Rogue just sat in disbelief. "if you don't believe me, luv, just absorb my memories." The mention of Rogue's powers got her mad.
"So ya've been followin' me?"
"Well, not exactly, Sheila," he answered, getting a little scared of the powerful mutant just a few feet from him.
"That's not mah name ya know."
"Sorry. I'm sorry about all of this. Maybe it was just a waste of time to be worried about you," Pyro said, his temper rising. "I'll just be on my way then."
"No, now you're makin' me feel bad. Ah'm just in a bad mood. Ah appreciate your help, Pyro."
"You can call me John. It's not like we're enemies anymore."
"Alright Johnny."
"What's your real name?" he asked, figuring she'd get mad. Surprisingly she stayed calm.
"Don't worry 'bout it, sugah," she answered.
"Aw come on."
"Ah'll tell ya when your older," she replied laughing at that angry look on her new friend's face.
"Fine. I'll just call you Rougey."
*Whatcha think so far? Dark Jaded Rose- I originally wanted to introduce a human character and I might still because there isn't yet romantic interest between rogue and john. The OC could be someone to make John jealous. I don't know yet! Oh and I decided to keep writing this one because I'm having so much fun writing both stories that I must keep writing. It's addicting! EternalStarlight & DemonRogue13- I followed your advice about pyro. I had never thought about writing ryros before and someone gave me the idea and now I'm addicted to them. Thanks for all of your reviews! It makes me feel loved! Oh yeah and I'm not very good with the Aussie accent so if you have any suggestions about that let me know! As much as I adore the accent.I just can't write it out. Ah! ~The Immortal
