Chapter 35: Unexpected encounter
Bobby opened the fridge while Rogue sat on a chair by the kitchen table. "So, what do you want to eat tonight?" He asked as he looked at the wide variety of food in front of him.
Rogue placed her elbows on the table, and clasped her hands together. She looked at Bobby and shrugged. "Ah, anything would do. Maybe a cheese sandwich." Her voice was void of any enthusiasm.
Bobby turned his head and arched an eyebrow. "Whoa. That doesn't seem like you, Rogue. You always ask for peanut butter and jelly. Always. What's up? Looks like something's going on in that head of yours."
Rogue smiled as she looked back at him. "Oh. I dunno. I just can't stop thinking about Logan."
He suddenly had a suspicious look in his face. "Logan?" He asked curiously.
She noticed the look on Bobby's face and quickly explained herself. "No. Well, I mean, yeah, but not in the way that you're thinking. He's like a big brother to me, you know." She said as she glared at him.
She pursed her lips and sighed. "It's just that, there's something different in him. I can't tell what it is, but whenever he looks at Yuriko, he...I dunno.... I've never seen him look at anyone that way before, Bobby. He looks so happy." She looked at her hands and tapped her thumbs against each other.
Bobby raised his eyebrows as he took the jars of peanut butter and jelly from the fridge. "You're just jealous." He said in a joking way. He placed the jars on the table and grabbed the loaf of bread from the kitchen counter.
"I am not, jealous!" She said imposingly. Then she looked at the jars in front of her. "I asked for cheese."
Bobby winced when he realized what he just did. "Oh yeah. Cheese." He was about to grab the jars to return them to the fridge, when Rogue suddenly stopped his hand.
"On second thought," She had an embarrassed look on her face. "I guess I could settle for peanut butter and jelly...as always." She said, smiling.
He rolled his eyes and sighed. Then he looked at her with a big grin on his face. "Sometimes I don't know how I can keep up with you." He said in a joking way. He sat down beside her and looked deeply into her eyes. "But that's probably because I know I can't live without you."
Rogue stared back into his blue eyes. She longed to touch his face and feel his skin against her bare fingers. She could still remember how his soft lips pressed against hers when they kissed in his room. They felt so close, so intimate. She wanted the moment to last forever.
Bobby slowly moved his face closer to hers. He wanted to kiss her again. He didn't care if Rogue's powers were going to hurt him. He just wanted them to be together as lovers were meant to be. After all, it was just one kiss. One kiss wouldn't kill him.
"Bobby no..." Rogue whispered.
She wanted to kiss him too, but she didn't want to hurt him. At times like this, she wished she could hold her powers back...hold them back long enough to return his kiss and touch his face. It pained her to see him longing for something she couldn't give. Whoever thought that a single kiss could be so precious?
Bobby's lips were about to touch hers, when Rogue suddenly saw something from the corner of her eye. There was someone standing on the doorway.
"Excuse me. I really hope I'm not interrupting anything." Stryker said as he stepped into the kitchen.
Bobby quickly pulled away from Rogue and they both stared at him. They remained unmoving as Stryker stood by the doorway. He was the last person they expected to see at that time of the night. They also couldn't believe that the professor had let him walk around in the mansion freely; despite everything he did in his 'last visit'.
"What do you want?" Asked Bobby, his voice filled with contempt. He knew Stryker had lost his memories, but he still didn't trust him. He would never forget what he did to the school and its students.
Stryker remained standing right next to the doorway. He could see the intensity in their eyes as they stared at him. They were looking at him as if he was some kind of criminal, as if he was going to do something hurtful and drastic anytime soon.
"Um..." He looked at the two of them, and then he pointed at Bobby. "You're Bobby, right?" He asked softly. And then he pointed at Rogue. "And you're Rogue. Am I correct?" There was uncertainty in his voice.
"Why? What do you want from us?" Rogue asked firmly.
"Well, um, I would just like to know if you've seen Yuriko and Logan. You see, I just got back from the operating room and Ororo told me that you met them earlier today." He rubbed his hands together. He hoped they knew where Yuriko and Logan were.
Rogue looked at Bobby, then she looked back at Stryker. "Yeah. We did see them a couple of hours ago."
"Do you know where they went? Or...where they are now?" He asked with a hopeful look on his face.
Rogue looked at Bobby, and then she leaned close to him. "Should I tell him?" She asked in a whisper.
"Why is he even looking for Yuriko and Logan?" Bobby whispered back. "I don't think you should tell him, Rogue."
"Then what should I say?" Rogue asked, still whispering.
Bobby glanced at Stryker. "Tell him you don't know where they are." He said in a whisper as he looked at her.
Rogue pulled away from Bobby, then she looked at Stryker. "Sorry...but I don't know where they are. They...probably went outside or something." She said hesitantly.
Bobby glared at her, then Rogue's eyes suddenly widened as she realized what she had just said. Logan and Yuriko did go outside. She just remembered when Logan told them that he was going to show Yuriko the basketball court and the swimming pool.
Bobby leaned close to her. "Great going, Rogue." He whispered.
Stryker smiled and nodded. "Thank you very much for the information, Ms. Rogue."
At least now he knew that Logan and Yuriko were outside the mansion. But the area outside the school was huge. They could be anywhere by now. How would he be able to find them in the dark? It was already nighttime and they still haven't gone back. What were they still doing outside?
The thought of Yuriko and Logan alone in the dark made his blood boil. And he wanted to slap some sense into himself for feeling that way towards the two of them. How could he even feel jealous towards Yuriko? He was supposed to hate her after all the things she had done to him.
He suddenly noticed Rogue and Bobby staring at him. He probably looked like an idiot, standing there, when he was thinking of Yuriko. He looked at them and smiled. "I, uh, better go look for them now. It was...nice meeting the two of you.."
Rogue and Bobby didn't say a word as they looked at him. They just wanted him to go away and leave them alone. It was uncomfortable enough that he was staying in the mansion with them. What more when he was in the same room?
Stryker turned around and was about to step out of the kitchen, when he suddenly felt a grumbling sensation in his stomach. He could also feel his head spinning. He hadn't eaten almost anything for the past two days, and he was starting to feel its effects on him. The last thing he ate was a couple of grapes and that was more than twelve hours ago. He even remembered Yuriko smacking him on the head with the grapes' bowl.
He knew he couldn't go out of the mansion on an empty stomach. He wasn't even sure if he would be able to walk for more than thirty minutes without collapsing in fatigue and hunger. He might as well eat something before he goes out to look for Yuriko. He was now in the kitchen anyway.
Then he remembered seeing the food on the table in front of Bobby and Rogue. He slowly turned around and looked at them.
"What?" Bobby asked angrily. Stryker didn't seem to want to leave them alone. What else did he want?
"Well, I was wondering if I could have some of that." He slowly pointed at the food on the table. "I really haven't eaten much for the past two days."
Bobby tapped his fingers on the table as he looked at Stryker. Then he leaned towards Rogue. "I think he wants to eat with us." He whispered.
"What?!" Rogue whispered back. "You mean, like, sit here? With us?"
Bobby glanced at him again. "Yeah."
Rogue looked at Stryker, then she sighed. "Ask him to sit down." She whispered to Bobby.
"Are you sure?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Well if the professor says he's harmless, then he is." She said in a whisper. She leaned closer to Bobby. "Come on. Just look at him." Her eyes darted at Stryker. "Does that look threatening to you? Jeez. A cactus looks more dangerous than that guy." She said with her eyebrows raised.
Stryker rubbed his hands together as he looked at Bobby and Rogue. He could see them whispering closely to each other. It was pretty obvious that they were talking about him.
Bobby rolled his eyes and sighed. Then he glared at Rogue. "If you say so. But if I were you, I won't let him anywhere near me." He whispered at her.
