Review Response:
Rage-girl-05—Yay! I'm not alone! ::parties:: It's just not fair that they're so hot, and we are not aloud to have them! Curses!
Enchantedlight—Danke! That's German for thank you!
Pandora's Sorrow—Last night I just finished chapter 17, and... well... You got your wish. Both of them. The ROMY will come, but it's just coming slowly. I enjoy torturing you lovely reviewers.
PomegranateQueen—1) I know! 2) Yep yep. It's getting kinda annoying, with everyone calling her Marie. In the comics, now even Remy calls her Anna. It's v. cool. 3) Yep. 4) FUN! That is fun to do. Color mixing rocks my socks! And does paint splatting. I attempt to draw ala Anime style, and I fail so miserably it isn't even funny. My proudest creation is the 6th Harry Potter book cover. It has half of Harry's face, and half of Voldies, and theirs a sword in the middle. It's sorta Anime. Just cool.
SickmindedSucker--::Chinese bow ala Karate Kid:: You learn well young grasshopper. For Confucius says that to shamelessly plug ones own goods are to shamelessly get reviews. Or is that just what ASGT says? Yeah, I know! My lil' sister, who's name will be... Ah... Kitty... Because she likes Kitty, said, as we were watching the FIRST EVER Evo episode that I saw, (I think it was ep 2 of season 2.) On the anniversary of that day this summer. ONE YEAR! WOOT! And she said, "Wow, Logan's pretty hot," Or something like that. Bad, bad cartoonists. Maybe Remy's sexy hair was too hard to draw, or they got so turned on by it that they... hehe... all over the page... I think I've read them, but my review thingy is screwy.
DreamCatcher89—Yeah, John is fun to write! I think that the Evo authors make him more insane than he was in the cartoon. But then again, he was pretty insane in the cartoons tambien. It's mentioned about his crazyness in chapter 17. Kat says it's very in-character for Johnypoo, and she has given me her approval of one of the things that happens in 17. She needs to read this story.
RikaTabithaStarr—Amen to that!
Loneraven—Thanks! Well, Rogue begins to get back at Remy in chapter 17, and he begins to think about her in "that way," in 15. So, it's coming pretty quick!
TheHotChick—And Ally at least gets what she deserves in chapter 17. Thanks!
IvyZoe—All will be revealed. Yes, her name is Anna in this story, as that is what (last time I checked,) she was going by in the comics. Everyone, including Remy was now calling her that.
Turquoise—Welcome new reviewer! Yes, it will be ROMY, as I said in the summary. I still can't spell that damn word. Thanks so much! The story has only been around for a few weeks, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. But that's for saying it's addicting! You know who's an addicting author? Red Witch. That's who.
Star-of-Chaos—Yeah, I really could. Trent with trench... Yerumy!
Ayn—WELCOME! What exactly are you speaking about now?
keika bee—Woot! Thanks so much! Oh, and welcome new reviewer! I won't get upset, but that's great! I lurve you now! Update: JUST SAW THEM! THEY ROCK! YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FRIEND! I printed them out, only my printer's running out of color ink. OH WELL! WOOT! This made me dance around like a ninny in my bra and pants, because that's what I'm wearing while I wait for Kat to arrive. WOOT!
TheDreamerLady—NEW REVIEWER! WOAH! Thanks! I lurve you too now! Decriptions? Do you mean descriptions?
I Heart The Distillers—Thanks! It is such a thing that John(ypoo) would do too. (Sorry. The John(ypoo) is an inside joke from evoishere, my RPG.) Well, she gets into a small fight with Rogue in chapter 17, so look out for that!
Ishandahalf—Yeah, it was. Springman Records, if you're wondering. The tour was a party! Have fun in August, and bring lots of water, and food is killer expensive, so stuff yourself before you go. Sunscreen too! That was my little bit of happiness. I'm so glad people agree with me about fictional!hot characters. I have no clue how he does that. In the comics, their uniforms are made of this spiffy stuff that is tougher than body armor, but it still gets torn. Maybe it's the same with his trenchcoat? I went to Ben and Jerry's yesterday at the mall with Kat, but we got Phish Food, because I felt like being a pig.
Epona04—WOOT! That's the majority I have to say for that. Oh, don't worry. Rogue gets a love interest... I enjoy mixing couples up. If you know what I mean...
X-TREME X-32—Goot idea! I'll put that on my list! The Pirates one won't be out for a while. So possibly around September/October I'll get it up. Thanks for reviewing!
bardsgrl4evr—DAMN! Another new reviewer! Sirius! Yuuurm! They're all so damn hot it rocks my socks! I'm updating! I'm updating! In only my bra and pants. I'm just that cool. Actually, I was half dressed when I went to my computer to check my reviews and update. So that's why I'm sitting here like this.
DemonicGambit—WOOT! I'm on a sugar high right now! I got a lovely piece of fan art that I am SO going to print out. Though the colors'll be all screwy. Oh well!
The two roared to a halt right in front of the front doors, where Jamie was speaking with Illyanna.
"What's goin' on ya two?" Rogue asked as she hopped off Remy's bike and took off her helmet.
"Nothing," Jamie and Illyanna said, both looking down.
"Non, tell us," Remy coaxed, also removing his helmet and sunglasses. The sunglasses he pocketed, while he threw the helmet on the handlebars.
"Fine, I just asked Illyanna out," Jamie said, smiling.
"An' what did ya say?" Rogue smiled at Illyanna.
"I said da, of course," Illyanna smiled and hugged Jamie, her new boyfriend. Rogue smirked and leaned down to whisper to Illyanna, "Good fer ya, Ah'm so glad that he finally asked ya out. He's liked ya since ya first came here an' din' speak too much English. Ah can't believe that was two years ago!"
Meanwhile, Remy whispered to Jamie, "Nice catch, mon ami." He then high- fived the 15-year-old Jamie. "If she wasn't so young, Remy could defiantly see himself t'inkin' about her."
"Yeah, but I heard you were gay!" Jamie smiled.
"Remy jus' tol' Jean dat t' get 'er off 'is back fer goin' t' de mall with Rogue," Remy pointed out.
"But anyway, age never bothered you. When you first showed up, Rogue was 18!"
"But we never got t'gether, now did we?" Remy pointed out.
"Then why'd you kidnap her if you didn't want to get together."
"She needed a break, an' I had always been intrigued by her, an' I wanted t' know more about de girl who knocked me out wit' a kiss."
"You kissed him?" Illyanna asked, looking at Rogue, wide eyed.
"It didn't count. Ah was under mind control. Din' ya know this before?" Illyanna shook her head. "Ah was bein' controlled by Mesmero so Ah could give Apocalypse all these powers, an' when Ah came ta Remy, he was tha only one who fought back. So, apparently, Mindcontrolled!Rogue decided ta kiss him."
"Oh," Illyanna smiled.
"An' dat's how far our relationship got. Den I met Betsy," Remy smiled. "Speak o' de devil," Remy looked up as the front door opened and out flounced the purple haired goddess.
"Hey love," Betsy said, smiling. "Where were you all day?"
"Jus' takin' Rogue t' de mall an' den out t' eat," Remy said. Betsy, who hadn't noticed Rogue, just turned, smiled, and then turned her attention back to Remy.
"And what's this I heard about you being gay? I could turn it all around if you wanted me to," Betsy said in her most seductive voice.
"Non, mi amore, I jus' said dat t' get Jean t' shut up. I'm completely straight. But maybe I could do wit' a little bit o' convincin', if y' know what I mean." Betsy giggled. Those two walked back into the house leaving Rogue, Jamie and Illyanna alone out side. Once the door closed, Illyanna looked at Rogue, and noticing her look of jealousy, spoke up.
"Do you like him?"
"Who? What? Me? No, Ah don' like him. We're jus' friends. Jus' good friends. That's all."
"Yeah, sure," Jamie said, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, Logan, can I talk t' y' fer a second?" Remy asked, pulling Logan aside in the hall.
"Yeah, sure bub, what about?"
"Well... It's about Rogue..."
"Go ahead. I'm listenin'."
"We got int' a little fight in de coffee shop. It started out wit' me buggin' 'er fer readin' Anne Rice so much, an' how she probably had a crush on Lestat, one o' de vampires. Den she said dat it sounded like I knew de books, which I did, because I read dem while she was studyin' fer school, an' she turned it so it seemed like I had been naggin' 'er about finishin' school, an' I said dat she came close t' not finishin'," Logan nodded, remembering the incident very well, and letting Remy continue.
"An' den she didn' speak t' me fer a while, so I apologized, an' den asked her one question, which be my downfall. I asked her what made 'er stop it. An' she gave me de weirdest answer. She said 'Maybe I haven't.' An' now I'm worried about 'er." Remy finished, looking at Logan.
"So, you want me to check on her? Watch her while she's shaving?"
"Non, I jus' want y' t' be aware dat I don' t'ink she stopped." Logan nodded, and then left, heading towards the kitchen to get a beer. Or something stronger... If he could find where Charles hid it.
"Oh, and what's this I hear about you being gay?" Remy smacked himself and sighing, told Logan the entire story.
"Oh. May want to tell that to the rest of the institute."
Logan's head was spinning, and it wasn't jus the alcohol. First, Rogue lost her X-Gene, and it could be a big problem, an' secondly, she may have started again.
"Isn't seven beers enough?" Lorna asked, walking into the kitchen were Logan sat drowning his sorrows in beer. "It looks like you left your wife."
"Don' have a wife, kid," Logan muttered. "And alcohol doesn't get me drunk like it used to. I'm completely sober." Lorna just nodded. "More sober than you were on April Fools Day."
"I was completely sober!" Lorna frowned.
"Just early signs of insanity then."
"That would be it." [1]
"Isn't it time you get to bed?" Logan looked at Lorna closely.
"Yes, it is," Lorna said, frowning.
"Then go," A voice said from the door.
"Fine, fine," Lorna huffed, walking out one door as Rogue entered the room farther.
"Seven beers? Isn't that enough?" Rogue said, sitting down next to Logan.
"Listen', Stripes," Logan began, looking at Rouge.
"Yeah?" Rogue raised her eyebrow for what seamed the forty second time that night. Logan then reached out and grabbed her left arm and held it firmly in his grasp, knowing that Rogue couldn't pull it out of his grasp, what in her current condition. "Hey! What tha hell!?" Logan didn't answer, he just pushed her sleeve back roughly, revealing the silver of scars criss crossing with crimson lines. Rogue tried to snatch her arm back, but couldn't.
"Those aren't fresh," Rogue said firmly.
"But they're new. A day old. Rogue, when was the last time you cut?"
"A few years ago!"
"Stop lying to me. When was the last time?" Logan made if clear that he wasn't going to give up.
"Six months ago."
"Before Carol or after?"
"Before."
"But you're lying. It wasn't six months ago that you last cut. It was yesterday."
"No! It wasn't!" Rogue yelled angrily, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't lie to me! I know fresh cut when I see them, and those are a day old. Rogue, wonder why you could cut yesterday, but not after Danvers?"
"Ah tried after! Ah really did! Ah didn' want ta live with her psyche forevah! But Ah couldn't!"
"Her invulnerability," Logan said, smiling oddly. "But you succeeded last night after walking in on Remy. And your powers didn't work when you slept with him."
"Logan, you're hurting my arm!" Rogue complained, and Logan loosened his grip a little.
"And you couldn't get out of my grip."
"Stop it! Logan! You're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk, darlin'. I never get drunk. I can't." Rogue then pulled hard on her arm at the exact time that Logan let go, sending her falling to the floor. She wrapped her arms around her knees, tears flowing freely now. She looked up at him with fear and confusion.
"Then what's wrong with meh?" Her bottom lip quivered. Logan realized he had said too much.
"Nothin's wrong with ya, Stripes," Logan said, smiling.
"But you said!"
"Just that Chuck said your brain waves were irregular, throwing off your powers a bit. It's time for you to grow up, Rogue. For god's sake, you're twenty. Twenty-year-old women don't sob on the kitchen floor, and they certainly don't cut." Logan shook his head and left the room, leaving Rogue to cry.
Why was Logan acting different? Were her powers only being thrown off by irregular brain waves? Was Logan lying to her? Rogue slowly stood up, and then ran to her room.
"You told her?" Charles looked at Logan sternly.
"No. I just told her that you said her powers were off because of irregular brain waves. I didn't tell her that her X-Gene completely disappeared. And it's not that I'm so worried about, Chuck."
"Then what is it that you're worried about?"
"She's started cutting again." Xavier looked startled.
"What?"
"Last night. After she spoke with me. I could tell that the cuts were a day old. Chuck, we need to do more about this. We don't want a repeat of last time."
"No, I agree. We don't. That had us all on needles for three weeks. I don't want to put my X-Men through that again. And she might not be able to survive this time. Yes, I'll look into it. Emma?"
"Yes, Charles?" The voice of Emma came to Xavier.
"Are you qualified for regular therapy?"
"Are we speaking about Rogue? For if we are, I think my sex therapy would be right for her."
"It's not that. Well, yes. It is. That's why she started it again."
"It? Surely not, we made sure that she wouldn't... She was too scared to try it again..."
"We were all scared, and maybe we didn't do as good as a job as we hoped. Emma, please."
"Very well. Schedule an appointement. It's time for me to play Dr. Frost again."
1) in the comics, Lorna is slowly going insane. Yay for insanity!
