Last chapter up! And yes I'm going away again for a week or so! So I have a busy life! Sue me!
Bobby: Someone should! OW! OW! (Several seagulls attack him.) Aren't these things reserved for Kelly?
Yeah but I felt like torturing you with them for a change. Enjoy this last bit of insanity while I enjoy my vacation! Have fun!
Never Mess With The Rogue
"Does anybody think it's weird that we have an assassin at this party?" Scott asked later on back at the Mansion.
"Why? It's never bothered you before," Althea remarked.
"Come on Stormy! Give me a kiss!" Shipwreck shouted.
"Get away from me you freak!" Ororo shouted as the sound of thunder could be heard.
"Hey Belladonna!" Althea shouted. "Those sobriety pills…Do you know if you can order them by the caseload?"
"TEQUILA! AWK!" Polly flew by with a bottle in his claws. Lockheed was following him.
"BRING THAT BACK!" John ran behind them. "WE NEED IT!"
"Oh yeah!" Pietro shouted. He and Xi were dancing on a table. "Shake your booty! Get down! Shake that thing!"
"Jubilee how many times do I have to tell you no fireworks displays in the house?" Logan shouted. A few knives barely missed him. "And that goes for your knife throwing too Blind Master!"
BOOM!
"There goes another wall," Hank sighed. "And we just repaired that one too."
"All right who did that?" Logan snapped.
"Uh…" Roadblock casually raised his hand. "Sorry. One of my grenades slipped."
"Okay… Thunderbird please hurry up with that drink please?" Logan groaned.
"I'll have one too," Hank sighed.
"Make mine a double," Xavier winced as something else broke.
"With all the other freaks around here you're worried about her?" Wanda asked. "And I don't just mean the mutants."
"You're right," Scott said. "She'll fit in perfectly here."
"I think I should stayed drunk," Rogue sighed. "I would have enjoyed this party more."
"Well I'm having a great time!" Kitty beamed. She was sitting with Rogue and Belladonna.
"You would," Rogue remarked. "So where are Idiot Number One and Idiot Number Two?"
"Getting me some punch," Kitty remarked. That was when Lance sailed across the room with a punchbowl on his head.
"Looks like they're giving each other punches," Belladonna remarked as the two boys fought.
"And you thought I was some kind of tramp for being with Remy?" Rogue asked.
"I never said the word tramp," Belladonna protested. "Thought it okay. But I had no idea there were worse people here."
"SHIPWRECK YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!" Ororo ran after Shipwreck. She was covered in cake.
"A lot worse," Belladonna commented. "And I thought the last Christmas Party the Assassin's Guild had was out of control when someone set fire to the cake."
"So how did someone so young get to become the leader of well…?" Kitty tried to phrase it delicately.
"A group of hired killers?" Belladonna asked. "I was born into it. Well all my other relatives killed each other off so there was no competition. Besides it's not like we're hired to kill just anybody. A lot of it is government work. We're still trying to get Osama. That guy's tricker than he looks."
"Really?" Kitty blinked.
"Nowadays half the stuff we do isn't even related to killing people," Belladonna sighed. "Annoying people maybe…"
"Like what?" Rogue asked.
"You know all that spam people get on selling Viagra online?" Belladonna sighed. "Hey don't look at me like that. That paid for a lot of my wardrobe!"
"I think I liked you better when I thought you only just killed people," Rogue moaned.
"Believe me there are days I'm not to thrilled with myself either," Belladonna sighed. "So Rogue did you talk to Remy yet?"
"Yeah we made up," Rogue nodded.
"He still won't come out of the closet will he?" Belladonna asked.
"No he refuses to leave until you're gone," Rogue told her.
"Oh well I guess I'll have to go visit him then," Belladonna got up. "I have got to come over here more often. Here comes Peter Cottontail…"
"So I guess this birthday wasn't so bad after all huh?" Kitty asked Rogue when they were alone.
"No," Rogue said sarcastically. "As long as you don't count group therapy, having my date being spied on by the entire mansion, getting kidnapped by my boyfriend's ex fiancée and having a typical party where everyone ends up fighting and things go to hell."
"You forgot getting drunk."
"I didn't forget, it was the one thing that made this whole day tolerable," Rogue sighed. "No that's not exactly true. I've been doing some thinking. I mean sometimes I feel my life sucks because of my powers and stuff. I mean being 18 is supposed to mean freedom and everything but it just feels a lot like a whole new year of the same old craziness."
"YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!" Baby Barney and Little C ran by with their faces covered in candy smears.
"Then again there are some advantages to not touching," Rogue watched the mayhem they created.
"Yeah at least you don't have to worry about birth control like Jean," Kitty pointed out.
"Scott!" Jean shouted as Scott stormed away from her. "I said I was sorry!"
"Tell it to the therapist!" Scott snapped. "I am not your sex toy you know! That's it! I've had it! I'm putting a lock on my door! A double bolted one!"
"Scoot!" Jean whined as she chased after him. "Can't we talk this out in therapy?"
"I think Scott has got that covered," Rogue blinked. "Man nothing like living in a house filled with nuts more screwed up than you are to make your problems feel not so bad."
"Yeah but we all love you," Kitty said. "In a family way you know?"
"EVERYBODY CAN CAN!" Pietro shouted.
"PIETRO I TOLD YOU TO PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON AND GET OFF THE TABLE!" Wanda screamed.
"Well most of us do," Kitty sighed.
"Yeah well I just realized that I can either spend my life moping or put my powers to good use," Rogue said. "Like I did when we got back."
"What do you mean?" Kitty asked.
"ICE CUBE!" Logan roared. "YOU ICED UP MY BIKE!"
"No I didn't!" Bobby shouted. "I fell asleep in the bathroom when I got home! OWW!"
"Yeah right! Likely story! Oh you are so dead you know that!" Logan shouted. "MY BIKE IS ENCASED IN A HUGE BLOCK OF ICE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT DOES TO THE ENGINE?"
"I didn't do it!" Bobby pleaded for his life.
"Well no one else could have! Now come on! I got a special Danger Room session all ready for you!" Logan dragged him away.
"Somebody! Help me!" Bobby whimpered.
"Help yourself Bobby," Rogue blew him a kiss.
Kitty looked at her. "You didn't…"
"Sometimes, it's good to be the Rogue," She grinned.
