Chapter 3: Friends and Foes
The triangular shaped plane landed softly somewhere next to Bayville Boarding House. A door opened and Rain got out. She was dressed in a black top with a short white skirt, over knee platform boots and a black trench coat over. Her hair was kept in a ponytail and she had two bags in her hands. After she got down, the plane began to raise and soon was away in the air.
"Right..." she muttered as she watched the departing of the plane. Magneto was becoming weirder and weirder. Rain walked towards the house and knocked the door. A short boy, with dark blonde messy hair, dirty clothes and smelling like shit opened. He remained shocked in front of her, probably staring at her legs or other parts of her body. Rain had a great body and she wasn't ugly at all. She held her breath and waved her hand in front of the boy.
"Hello?!!" she said.
"Oh, yes, sorry." Todd Tolansky said and shaken his head a little. "How can I help you?"
"Does Mystique live here?" Rain asked pressing her shoulder on the door frame.
"Yeah..." Todd answered still dumbfounded.
"Is she home?" Rain asked again. The boy was stupid or what?
"Yeah..."
"Can I come in?" she said again a little annoyed.
"Yes, of course." Todd answered and robotically moved out of the way. Rain entered the house and made a face of disgust. Did people actually lived here?
"Todd, who is it?" another male voice spoke as a brown haired boy entered in the room holding a boll of cereal in one hand and in the other a spoon.
"She's looking for Mystique." Todd answered.
"Mystique?!" Lance asked coming back to reality. "She isn't here. What business have you with her."
"My business is with her and only with her. I come from Magneto."
"Did I hear Magneto?" Pietro asked entering in the hallway.
"Yes." Lance answered.
"So you are his new recruit." a female voice came from behind her. Rain turned around to face the other mutant. She had a strange feeling that she won't be exactly friends with her. Or those morons.
"Mystique I suppose."
"Come on in." the older mutant Mystique said as she entered the house and went in the living room. Fred Dukes was eating a boll of cereals. He looked at them strangely.
"Well boys, meet your new team member, Circe."
"Circe, meet Fred Dukes-or Blob, Lance Alvers-or Avalanche, Pietro Maximoff-or Quicksilver and Todd Tolansky-or Toad."
"Nice to meet you." said each member of the Brotherhood.
"Yeah...Nice to meet you too. Can I be shown now to my room?"
"Of course. First you have to know some things. As you know, this is the Brotherhood. I don't want to hear that you are friend wit the X-Men. This is the most important rule. Monday you start school at Bayville High. Lance will take you with his car."
"No need. I'll take my-" she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something in the plane; "-wait a minute... My motocycle!" Rain remembered that the plane was taken by Magneto. "Why that-" she began but thought that she would better stop.
"Magneto gave you a motocycle? Incredible!!!" Fred said munching on his cereals.
"Well, I'm with Magneto since the last 3 months. And he put me to do some little jobs for him. Do you think I walk 100 miles?"
"No..." Fred answered.
"As I said," Mystique interfered being obviously disturbed by the interruption "Lance will take you. I will talk with Magneto to bring your motocycle, if it is that important, when he will contact me. Satisfied?" Mystique said very cold. She would have given everything to throw her out from the house but Magneto's orders...
"Very..." Rain answered with a sarcastic voice. "My room?" she added raising her both eyebrows.
"First room on the left at the end of the stairs. You can handle it?"
"Sure thing Blue Boss." she added and left.
Three days later, Monday
Rain walked trough the hallways pf Bayville High as she looked for the chemistry class. Looking on the classrooms doors, she bumped in a person, throwing the students books and hers down.
"Shit." she sweared in her thoughts. "I'm sorry." she added in a loud voice as she looked at the student. Goth like dressed, auburn hair with two white strands and dark make-up, very resembling to hers, the girl said a: "That's okay. It was mah fault." and began to gather her books. "I wasn't looking where I was walking." as she began to gather her books as well.
"New here, no?" the girl said, Rain noticing now the southern accent.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Yah were looking for your classroom, that's why yah bumped into meh." the girl got up holding her books. Rain got up too.
"Chemistry..."
"Yah've just passed it. Ah have chemistry too. Come, Ah'll show yah." the student added and began to walk away. Rain got next to her. "My name is Rogue."
"Rain. Very interesting name."
"Same for yah." she replied and entered in a classroom.
"Thanks." Rain said and went to sit at a desk.
"No problem." Rogue said and sat at one of the desks in the back, isolated from the others. As Rain saw, the others students walked away from her and began to whisper something. Rogue looked sad. Rain felt sorry and thought she'd better do something. It was true, her heart became as cold as ice after Magneto recruited her but somehow that girl was remembering her of Mina, her sister, the person she was sacrificing for now. So she got up and went over to Rogue. "Hi there." she said. Rogue looked up. "What's up with them?" Rain asked pointing towards the group of students.
"Ah don't know and Ah don't even care." Rogue answered.
"Well, I'll sit with you if you don't mind." Rain sat down.
"Yah know, yah don't have to stay here for pity."
"No. Not for pity. You remember me of someone." Rain smiled.
Lunch time
In just few hours Rogue and Rain become friends. They both were hiding the fact that were mutants each one thinking that the other was human.
"Glad that the teach forgot to give us homeworks." Rain said as she walked with Rogue towards a big tree with a soda in their hands.
"Ah think that Miss Brown gave us homeworks for the whole year." Rogue made a face.
"You can always take a bad grade." Rain joked.
"Ah have plenty." Rogue smiled.
"Hey, Rain!" they heard behind. Both turned to see the Brotherhood.
"Wait me for a minute." Rain said and went over to the Brotherhood. "What's up?"
"Mystique told us to bring you home earlier. So you'll pass over the last two classes." Lance explained and began to walk away.
"Okay." Rain shouted and returned to Rogue.
"Do yah know them?" Rogue asked.
"You can say that. Morons in my opinion." Rain answered as she thought for the thousandth time where Magneto or Mystique had found them. Rogue smiled. She turned her look to the left just in time to see Jean smiling as she walked trough the tables. "Who's that?"
"Jean Grey. The most annoying person on the planet."
"I see." Rain said as she observed the red haired girl. She took a sip from her soda and Rogue did so. In the same time Jean tripped and fell down. Rogue and Rain laughed so hard that one snorted the soda down her nose and the other just spited out. Jean got up very embarrassed and with food on her new shirt. She just tried to smile and ran away.
"She just bought that one." Rogue succeeded to say finally.
"That was artistic." Rain added as she wiped the soda from her mouth.
A.N.: So what do you say about this chapter? Not so much descriptions. By the way, I took away some powers from her. Check it out in chapter 1. (especially for you Elanor Tique :)) And don't worry, I'm not upset.) Keep an eye open for the next chapter.
