"This is Pietro talking quickly."
'Thoughts'
"The BOLDs are stressed."
-Telepathic speaking-
Italics like this are flash backs.
"This is Pietro talking quickly in the flash backs."
These are things that Rogue remembers people saying.
Self Possessed Rietro Style: Part Three
Pietro walked into the concert. He looked at all the teens. Soon he found Rogue and Risty. Rogue looked a little....freaked, was one way to put it.
Pietro walked through the crowd trying to get to Rogue.
He was failing. There were just to many people here…
Rogue felt extremely nervous, she didn't like crowds and this was horrible. People were bumping into her every few seconds, and she wanted to leave! NOW!
Risty was dancing to music, oblivious to the way Rogue was acting.
A girl who was surfing the crowd fell, she tried to grab anything to keep from impacting into the ground, she grabbed Rogue's sleeve, and it ripped.
A boy bumped into Rogue, his arm made contact with hers and she absorbed him… this process repeated with several others, until Rogue finally turned around and her arm hit Risty's.
Rogue's mind was filled with memories...but not just Risty's....Mystique's?! Someone grabbed Rogue's covered arm and pulled her away from Risty. Rogue hit someones chest hard and was held there for a few moments.
When she looked up, her jade eyes met with pure blue eyes. "Rogue! Are you okay!?" A male voice asked with concern dripping from his voice.
Rogue couldn't think of who it was. But she knew she could trust him...for some reason…
Rogue clung to the man, her head was killing her, and she couldn't think clearly. Thoughts began to flow into her head, but they weren't her's.
'This music rocks!!'
'Why'd I let Becky talk me into coming here? I don't like this kind of music.'
'Oh!! He is SO hot!!'
Hey! Pick on some one yer own size! That came out in her voice.... A flash of a tall man with blonde-brown hair flashed before Rogue's mind.
She pulled away from the person she had clung to, and grabbed her head. Rogue could feel her bones crunch and twist as her body took another form.
Pietro had grabbed Rogue and looked down at the form which had once been Risty and was now Mystique. Pietro pulled Rogue close and looked down at her. She looked up at him with frightened eyes.
"Rogue! Are you okay!?" He asked, but she looked at him with confusion in her eyes, like she didn't know him or something.
She began to cling to him like he was her last life line. Pietro went stiff. He soon relaxed when he began to feel his shirt get wet...she was crying.
Soon Rogue pulled away, she clucthed her head, and bit down on her bottom lip so hard that she broke it's skin, causing blood to drip down from her mouth, down to her chin.
Rogue's body began to change shape, she transformed into Sabertooth, and lashed out at the people around her.
After a few moments Rogue/Sabertooth had gotten to the stage and was attacking the band.
Pietro watched people run, and the X-men that were here begin to attack her.
"I have to stop them!" He said to himself. They didn't know that it was Rogue they were attacking.
Unfortunately, by the time he had gotten down to help them, since the crowd was running against him, Rogue was blasted into a wall by Scott.
Pietro made his way over to the pile of rocks that Rogue was under and started to move them, but within merely a moment, he was thrown backwards and into a wall, by Juggernaut.
When Pietro opened his eyes, there was no sign of 'The Juggernaut', but the X-men were still there watching Mystique, who had just appeared out of no where to them, leave.
Pietro stood to his feet, but next thing he knew, Scott grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him up to eye level.
"Alright! What's going on!?" He shouted in Pietro's face.
"How about the fact that you need a breath mint?" Pietro asked with a smirk on his face.
"Pietro-"
"Alright, alright! Geez. I don't know! Now let me go! I have to leave! NOW!" Pietro said trying to force his way free of Scott's grip. "Rogue's in trouble! I have to help her!" Pietro said so quickly, that to the X-men, it was a hum. Pietro finally slipped out of Scott's hands and ran off at top speed.
"Pietro, Sabertooth, Juggernaut and Mystique? Something's defiantly going on. Let's get the others!" Scott said. Jean nodded, and Kitty went to help Jamie.
Pietro ran around and tried to see if he could find any sign of Rogue, but it was like she had disappeared into thin air. "ROGUE!?" He shouted as he came to a skidding stop. Pietro looked around, and waited to see if he got a reply.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Sounds like a challenge, Roguey! A voice said. It was familiar, and held this strange feeling of safety.
Her head snapped up and she looked around for where the voice had come from, but she couldn't find it.
How many tahmes do Ah hafta tell ya, don't call meh Roguey! Another voice said, this one held a deep sadness and pain hidden in the anger of it.
She felt her bones twist and turn, her skin molded itself to match her new form. Opening her now blue eyes, she darted down the street, at an unnatural speed, and came to a stop, as a car came around the corner.
WOW! This game is SO realistic! Another voice said, this one with a flash, it was a fleeting flash, of a boy with red hair, and glasses; her bones turned again, and she slowly walked away now, into an alley.
As the darkness of the alley wrapped around her, Rogue seized control of her mind. She transformed back to her form. She tried to think but the voices that screamed at her, and threw up memories that didn't belong to her; were just to much for her to handle and made it almost impossible.
Rogue broke down into tears, leaned against a wall, she slid down the wall till she was sitting on the ground and curled up into a ball. She held her knees up to her chest. More tears fell. There seemed to be no end to them, they were like a river flowing down her cheeks.
"ROGUE!!" A voice shouted, for a moment, she thought it was in her head too, but after a moment, realized that it was really a person! outside her mind!
"ROGUE! WHERE ARE YOU!?" The voice screamed. Rogue tried to think of who it was, she knew that voice. She knew it well, but the person it belonged to eluded her. Like she just couldn't seem to grasp it, or...catch it....
You'll never catch me, Daniels! A voice in her head said, the words echoed off the walls of her skull… Catch me.... Come on Roguey! I know you're faster then that!
Oh! PIETRO! When Ah get mah hands on you, Ah'm gonna- The voice was cut off when a tall woman with blue skin walked over to her.
"Rogue?" The woman asked. Rogue looked up at her. Rogue...was that her name? There were so many things going on in her mind, she just couldn't think clearly..... Then it hit her!
Excuse me, how long do these normally last?
I'm a transfer student, from England, my name's Risty Wilde.
Hmm… Ya know what you need? To lighten up! Oh! I know, we can go to the concert! We can make fun of all the losers!
You'll be happy here, Rogue. Happy and safe.
I'm protecting you dear, he was trying to hurt you... The voice rang through her mind, like a record stuck in one spot.
Rogue clutched her head again as flashes hit her all at once. Two women sitting in a car, a woman sitting on a desk, talking to a man clad in maroon and purple, a blue skinned woman pushing a boy over a cliff.
Mystique.... Was the one thing that rang through Rogue's mind like a bell.
They had used Rogue, not once, but twice! They were one....they betrayed her, used and abused her....Rogue wanted nothing to do with her now. She would pay for what she had done....
"Rogue, I want to help you." Mystique said, she put her hand out for Rogue to take, but the confused goth just glared angrily at her.
"Ah don't want or need yer help!" Rogue snapped as she narrowed her eyes and glared at Mystique. She stood and balled her hands into fists. "What is it with you and tryin' ta destroy what little life Ah have?! What is it that ya want from meh so badly that ya'd stoop down to pretending to be mah friend?! Was it something that the Professor had? Or something else?" Rogue asked, hatred dripping from her words; she pointed at Mystique accusingly.
"I wanted to be your friend. You have my memories, search them Rogue. And see the truth through your own eyes." Mystique said, trying to get Rogue to trust her.
"No! You will pay fer all the pain ya have caused meh!" Rogue said, her form began to change again, this time, into Mystique. Rogue lashed out at the blue mutant.
While Rogue punched, kicked and tried to attack, Mystique just dodged, or countered.
The two moved in sync with each other, they moved fluently as though this were a well practiced dance, rather then a fight. If Mystique were to lose her timing it would be painful, that was certain.
"Rogue! Please! I know you know, you are my daughter. I adopted you when you were four years old! You know that! I know you do!!" Mystique said, trying desperately to get Rogue to stop fighting.
"Ah don't anythahn' about that! Yer lyin' ta meh!" Rogue said, as she continued to attack.
Finally, Mystique pinned Rogue into the wall, holding the teenager in a painful head lock. "Fine Rogue, if you won't look, then I'll show you." Mystique said. Her free arm took one of Rogue's gloves off, and then grasped Rogue's bare hand in her own; and focused on her memories that she wanted to show Rogue.
Mystique let go of Rogue and let Rogue transform back to her own body. Rogue let out a scream as more memories hit her.
There's the third chappie! I hope everyone liked it as much as the second...
