Another week had passed and things we're back to normal for Rogue. She and John spent a lot of time together when he was around. But he was gone most days doing.......something.
Rogue hadn't made any contact with the x-men for a real long time. She decided to sign online to see if anyone was on, and sure enough, just about everyone was.
~SouthernBelle has singed online~
~KitKat has invited you to a private chat room SouthernBelle~
KK-*OMG hey Rogue! I haven't talked to you in like forever!*
SB-*Hey Kitty. How's everyone been?*
KK-*Why don't you ask them, I'll invite them to chat!*
~FuzzyElfman has entered the chatroom~ ~S.Summers has entered the chatroom~ (he had to have a boring screen name. It's Scott after all) ~PsychicQueen has entered the chatroom~
FE-*Rogue!!!!!!!!!!!*
PQ-*Rogue its great to talk to you again! We've missed you!*
SS-*Hey Rogue! Been working on your training lately?*
SB-*Nah, I really haven't been doin much of anythin at all. I hang out with John a lot though.*
KK-*John? Not St. John Allerdyce?*
FE-*Please don't tell me it's Pyro.*
'Oh great job, Rogue,' she mentally scolded herself. Well she couldn't just lie to her friends.
SB-*Uh...yeah*
SS-*Why have you been around him? He is an extremely dangerous man. You should not be around him.*
PQ-*How often do you two hang out?*
SB-*We.....Uh...kinda live together....*
KK-*What?!?!* SS-*WHAT??????* FE-*WHAT?!?!?!!?!??????????*
PQ-*Rogue is everything ok, has he done something to hurt you or are you in any danger?*
SB-*No it's not like that at all. It turns out he left Magneto about a month before I came here. We met up one day and it turns out Mystique was following me. She found out where I lived and John insisted that I move in so he could keep me safe.*
SS-*Rogue are you sure you can trust him? How did he know all about Mystiques plot?*
SB-*She asked him to join her. But he refused. He's really a nice guy.
PQ-*Rogue maybe you should come home.*
SB-*No I can't.*
KK-*Why not. Aren't we still like you're friends?*
FE-*Please, Rogue. Come home.*
SB-*I am home.*

Rogue had just turned her back on her friends. They found out that she was living with their former enemy and she hadn't told them for months. Silent tears started to streak down her face as she thought about how worried and angry the x-men were. It's was too much for her.
"Hey, luv. I'm home," John said walking into the apartment. Rogue looked up at his cheerful face. "What's wrong Rogue?"
"Have you ever lied to me? About anything?"
"No. Why?"
"Are you working for Mystique?" The smile faded from his face as more tears streaked down Rogue's.
"Rogue, I told you I refused her offer. But," he gulped a little. "I reality I accepted her offer. At first."
"What? So you've been lying to me?"
"At first Rogue," he continued. "It would have been easy for me to get you to her by now. But I told her I wasn't gonna do it anymore. It was just before I went to get that necklace."
"The one that didn't work. So why did you accept the job? A good reward?"
"Hell yeah it was a good reward. But then the award wasn't worth it. Do you believe me?"
"You want me to believe that you refused a great reward? Why wasn't the reward worth it?"
"Because...It just wasn't."
"That answer's not good enough St. John Allerdyce." He flinched hearing her using his full name.
"Rogue you have to believe I don't want any harm to come to you. I just want you to stay happy forever. And I want to be a part of your life."
"Ok John. Ah believe you. But just tell me why the award wasn't worth it." He moved closer to her, wiping her tear away with his gloved hand, but then he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"Ya didn't answer me," she said watching the retreating figure.
He whispered the answer so quietly that she barely heard: "Because I fell in love."
********* R&R!
