X-over Thank you for the review it was greatly appreciated.
Rogue was getting frustrated with all the knowingness of everybody but her. She followed him into a long hallway filled with antiques hidden behind glass. They walked until they reached a door guarded by a chubby man. "Tom Manning...this is Rogue." Myers said.
This Tom guy looked at Rogue and smiled," Hello."
Rogue smiled and looked at him. He was a bit balled and a lot older then Professor Myers and he had big lips and his voice was a bit demanding. "Hello," he replied.
"I have to go attend to some things Tom will show you who's nanny you'll be," he smiled," Give him these,: he gave her two Baby Ruth's and walked away.
Rogue looked at Tom as he pulled out something that looked almost like a gun, but it had to trigger or hole for the bullets. It was shaped like a triangle and he put it in a triangle whole and twisted it hard. The many locks and bolts undid themselves creating a loud noise.
"You obviously met the fish guy and now meet his friend," he pulled on the door and it opened.
The metal had to be at least a foot thick and she stepped into a large room that was messy beyond belief with comics on the floor and cats walking everywhere. The smell of smoke was thick and there seemed to be at least a dozen TV sets on all on a different channel. She looked to see a bed or what was meant to be a bed but was real the back to a few trucks put together filled with cushions and blankets.
"He's fed eight times a day and he has a thing for cats. You'll be with him wherever he goes and you'll be his friend as well as keeper." Tom said. "He NEVER goes anywhere unsupervised."
"Who?" she demanded.
Tom picked up a comic book that was extremely old and if it was in good condition could be sold for serious cash. She took it from him and read aloud. "Hellboy: The Uncanny..."
"One and only," a voice from someone else said.
The voice was deep beyond that of normal and it was almost emotionless. She looked up to see the actual Hellboy in front of her lifting weights, heavy weights. She wasn't really surprised by his appearance. "Ahm your nanny?" She wanted to laugh.
Hr recognize the amusement in his voice but he didn't turn around and face her," She's a girl, I don't want her." He said," Besides this was your job."
Tom sighed," I'm a business man Hellboy, I can't be here all day. I love being on TV."
"Get someone else then," Hellboy said.
"The pay is good and it's not like we really have to say even a word to one another, ahm stayin' deal with it." She said.
Her curled his arm with a bigger weight," I do field work, you have to go with me, it could be dangerous."
She hated how his voice was almost teasing her," Ah've done field work before ah'll be fine."
She smiled pleased with the fact she had secrets about having super strength and flight ability as well as her natural poison skin. She would so enjoy her stay here. He turned around and dropped the weight. She had her cloak on still and he raised an eyebrow.
"Must be hot with all that on," he said.
She frowned," We don't have t' talk remember."
She watched as he touched his sumo style hair and grabbed a cigar. "Well I'll show you to your room Rogue." Tom said and waited until she walked past him.
They walked back through the hallway and went up another one of those weird elevators until they reached another hallway with lots of doors. Tom pointed to one," Your room your bags are in there.
He left and she realized she'd never taken her bags with her to see Hellboy. She went in the room and it was much like the one back at the institute. There was a bed, a TV, a closet, a Bathroom, and a few shelves. She didn't have much so it took only an hour for her to fully settle in. Her shirts were in the closet as were her shoes and her unmentionables was in the drawer under the bed as well as her pants. She had a few pictures of everybody at the institute and she put them on the shelves as well as her CD's and CD player and other material possessions. She put her tooth brush and toothpaste into the bathroom where it belonged. She afterwards sat on her bed knowing that she does easily get lost. When she put the last thing of hers away, her cloak, she heard something rubbing inside the pocket. She reached in and grabbed whatever it was to find the one picture she loved so much. Bobby had icy breath, Jubilation had her lights shooting out her hands, Kitty was halfway through Jubilee's body leaving her face shocked in the picture. Scott was shooting at all the little ice balls Bobby left on the floor, Colossus was in his metal form. Storm's eyes were white and she had a plant in her hand and a small rain cloud was watering it. Logan had his claws out and Kurt was hanging upside down on a tree branch. Jean was surrounded by fire attempting to melt Bobby's ice balls faster then Scott could shoot them and Xavier was laughing and she was behind him trying to put a hairpiece on him and they were all smiling.
"Logan," she sighed knowing he must have put it in there, she was happy he did.
She turned slowly to see a woman there and she jumped," He your boyfriend?" she asked.
The woman was pale with long black hair, she was taller than Rogue. "Uh...no more like my dad or brother." Rogue replied.
"My names Liz...Liz Sherman." She held out her hand.
Rogue took it in her gloved one," Rogue...just Rogue."
"You met Abe and Hellboy already?" she asked.
Rogue nodded," Abe's sweet and Hellboy's...stoic, ah guess ah can say."
"He's sweet when you get to know him," Liz said.
Rogue saw the look in her eyes and thought of Jean and Scott for a second," You love him?"
"Yes and he loves me," she said," I'm the last member of the team."
"What can you do?" Rogue asked.
Liz smiled and her hand was soon covered in a blue fire it was like Jean's Phoenix. Rogue smiled and winced when she felt a pain in her head. The memories were bothering her again. She jerked as she felt the pain again. Liz tried to help her but she smacked her hand away.
"It's okay..." she trailed after a while.
"What happened?" Liz asked concerned.
"Nothing, listen don't say a thing about what just happened." Rogue said.
"But-"Liz began.
"It happens a lot don't worry about it there's nothing you can do." Rogue said more sternly
"Are you...dying?" Liz asked.
Rogue laughed," I wish."
Liz didn't move," My room is next door, I'll keep this to myself but you must answer some questions first."
Rogue smirked," It'll be our little secret."
Liz left and Rogue walked into the hallway having nothing else to do. It was a big spacy hallway with lots of metal and it smelled. Suddenly alarms went off and Liz came running out her room she was barely in and ran down the hall. Rogue followed her and almost lost her every time they passed a corner.
"Take this," Liz handed her a gun.
Rogue scowled," Don't need it."
"Yes you do," Liz assured.
"No ah don't," Rogue insisted.
"Ladies stop fighting," Professor Myers said passing between them and grabbing Rogue's arm.
Rogue wanted to slap his hand away but she had no clue where she was going so she let him lead the way. They rushed past a crowd of people out a door leading outside and into a garbage truck. Rogue saw Abe, and a few other men there. Abe was putting on some type of gear obviously it was for him only since there was a neck piece filled with water. The men were loading on guns and ammo. She leaned against the wall in the corner and watched amazed as Abe finished with his suit. He walked beside her just as Hellboy and Liz entered. The place was getting too small too fast and Ororo's claustrophobia was surfacing.
"Stay still," Abe ordered politely and put a webbed hand on her gloved one.
She jerked away," You know what will happen," she whispered.
"You're not wearing that only because it's comfortable," he said and she felt embarrassed. "Now calm down."
She looked around trying to calm down but more men kept coming in and she was filling worse. She closed her eyes as she felt Abe's cool almost slimy hand on her gloved one again and then an image filled her head. The image was his tank, inside it. All she saw was water and open space and she quickly calmed down. She shook her head free of the image and forced her psyches away ridding herself of her advantages and disadvantages at the same time. She opened her eyes to see Hellboy with a protective arm around Liz, Liz was looking at her. By the look in her eyes she knew Liz didn't trust her.
"Are clouds really fluffy?" Abe asked surprising Rogue.
She looked up at him confused then realized he knew something else about her, her other powers. "No their wet and foggy." She had no doubt he knew that already but she guessed it was his way of telling her he knew.
"What's her problem?" Hellboy demanded.
"She's just excited," Abe said.
"I didn't ask you," Hellboy said," How would you know anyway?"
"Do you really have t' ask even ah know that by now," Rogue snapped.
He has telepathy or whatever... She thought.
Her bluntness angered Hellboy a bit as well as Liz. The ride was silent and soon she was tossed a coat, a big thick coat. She eyed it and raised an eyebrow. "It's cold," Liz said.
