Hidden Feelings
Ch.10
AN: I've finally just realized that this is a spoof. Yep, most definitely. It's not all serious like CotF or THI or TPI (once I get around to finish writing it). Yep, most assuredly, this is a spoof. Please, R&R and enjoy.
Rogue and Jean sat side by side on the couch, their hands folded in their laps, as they watched Ororo pace back and forth across the carpet in front of them. Her hands were clasped behind her back and her brow was slightly furrowed in consternation as she tried to determine what she would or should say to the two young women. After all, it isn't every day that you return home from Christmas vacation and walk in on two of your students trying to release their sexual frustrations on one another, 'Although, Rogue looked beautiful in her passion and- No! Stop your train of thought right now, Ororo Monroe. You must be serious about this.' Ororo stopped and looked down at the two young women, their heads bowed and their fingers and feet fidgeting in the same manner, 'That's odd' No sooner had the thought entered her mind when Jean spoke up.
"Look, okay, uh, we're gay. No, I mean, we're in love and we just both happen to be girls and-"
"An' we're gay."
"At least with each other." Jean glared at Rogue before continuing on with her nervous babbling. Rogue and Ororo looked on in a bemused manner. "You kind of walked in on us in a bad moment. We weren't doing anything wrong and besides, this is a new day and age. Women can be with women if they want or guys with guys. Haven't you ever heard of Gay Rights? Out and proud baby, woo-hoo!" Jean was now standing up with her fist stuck up into the air. Rogue looked up at her with a somewhat surprised expression on her face and Ororo just looked.... scared in a way. Realizing how she must look and worse, how she must have sounded, she quickly sat down beside Rogue, taking on the look of a demure angel. "Uh... so, if you have anything to say, now might be a good time to speak up."
"Well done, wonder girl. It's gonna be a wonder if we're not kicked out o' the Institute now for sure."
Jean looked up at the Weather Goddess, knowing she could be fried at any moment. How could she have been so stupid and she knew it even as she had spoken that she was babbling nonsense and none of it was going to help either her or Rogue with their plight and worse yet, she had added on to her embarrassment by making a complete and total fool of herself as she said her little spiel, none of it making any sense. 'Oh God, what did I do now?!'
Ororo surprised both Jean and Rogue by smiling, however, that did not diminish their wariness of her or their fear of her powers. In fact it made them more aware of what could happen if things went wrong for the both of them. Both Jean and Rogue were poised on the edge of the couch, ready to bolt, if need be, for the door. Jean was already levitating her car keys toward the front door.... just in case.
"Relax children, I will not harm you nor will I throw you out of the Mansion or any other such nonsense that may be running through your heads. I merely wish to talk with you both."
"What do you mean you just want 'to talk with us'? You looked furious before."
"Jean, might I suggest you not say anything and just leave the talking to Rogue. I give you credit for trying to defend both Rogue and yourself earlier but I believe I need some clear answers that, at the very least, make some kind of sense." Jean grumbled slightly as she slouched back into the sofa, her arms crossed over her chest, her lips pouting very much like a petulant child.
"Okay Ororo, you said you wanted answers but Ah have some o' my own. You did look furious earlier an' Ah want to know if it was because o' us?"
"No child it wasn't because of you. I was angry.... Well, I was angry for other reasons, none concerning you personally." 'Yeah right! Seeing you with Jean was a bit of a shocker especially when it could have been me with you, instead of Jean.'
"Well then, what do you want t' talk about?"
"Oh, nothing truly important. I would just like some information from you, like, how long has this been going on, what do you plan to do in the future, what are you going to tell the others, if anything at all and when the hell did you learn to control your powers?!" As Ororo had asked these questions she had stepped closer and closer to the young woman until she was looming over her in a somewhat "intimidating" way. Not exactly the impression she had wanted to give them but what could she say, she had been surprised to find Rogue and Jean together in the same bed, quite naked, which had been another shocker, add on to that was the fact that Rogue had been touching Jean in.... well, in intimate places. They could both deal with whatever she gave them.
"Uh, well, you see.... eh, umm....." Rogue sweat dropped as she sank back into the couch, her hands held out in front of her, her palms facing Ororo in order to ward her off. Ororo noticed and backed away from them slightly. Rogue cleared her throat and began again, "You see, we've loved each other for a while now but only recently did we admit our feelins' an'..... you know what else."
"Oh boy, do I." Ororo shook her head to clear her thoughts before continuing, "Okay, that explains part of it but what do you plan to tell the others? Especially you Jean. You do know that Scott is in love with you and has been since the moment you two first met?"
Jean fidgeted on the couch, uncomfortable with the direction the conversation had taken, well, she was uncomfortable with the entire line of conversation but she could not do much about either. "I don't know what I'm going to say. I haven't given him any reason to fall in love with me. I haven't even given him a hint as to whether I even wanted or welcomed any of his advances."
"Yes, that may be true but did you even give him a reason not too? You may not have encouraged him but one thing is for certain, you didn't dissuade him. Now, you must both think about this carefully. You still have some time before the others are due back until then I suggest that the both of you think long and hard on what you are going to do and what exactly are you going to tell the others when they do return. Now, for my final question of the night, when did you learn to control your powers Rogue?"
"Ah don' exactly control my powers personally."
"What exactly does that mean?"
"I can answer that. You see, I kind of went exploring in Rogue's mind and found a sort of switch, if you will, that controls her powers. I simply flick the switch and her powers are either working or not."
"Jean, did you have permission to enter Rogue's mind when you found this out?"
"..... No."
"Hmmm, you can expect disciplinary action when the Professor comes back. Now Rogue, I can take this to mean that you do not have control over your powers personally?"
"Not yet, at least but Jean's been helpin' me. We haven't had much practice since we- since Ah discovered this an' when we do have the time we're kind o'..... distracted."
"Ahh, yes, I've noticed."
Rogue and Jean both flushed as they began to fidget again for the umpteenth time that night. Ororo resumed her pacing. 'This isn't good. Now Jean has a grasp on Rogue's mind. Not exactly something she should have dominion over of. I must speak with the professor about this as soon as possible. If Jean can control Rogue's powers so easily now, then she must have known for quite some time. Which could also mean that Rogue might already be able to control her powers now but why would Jean keep this from Rogue? Ahhh, you're running yourself ragged, Ororo. Get some sleep then you can start thinking about this again.' Ororo walked past the two young women on the couch and headed towards the window, she stood staring out into the snowy night for some minutes before speaking again, "What are your plans for the future?"
"We really haven't thought that much about it. Jean's gonna keep workin' with me an' we're.... well, uh, we're...."
"No need to continue. I understand quite perfectly. Look, it's late and I suggest we all get some rest. We can continue this discussion in the morning. For right now I'm satisfied with what I've heard."
"Ororo, why did you come back early?"
This came from Jean, who was standing and facing the window at which Ororo stood. She could see the confused look on the young woman's face in the reflection of the window and Ororo could not help but turn that look into something sinister, 'Preposterous. It's just your imagination running away with you.' She turned around to face Jean, "I will answer your questions in the morning. I have traveled a long way and only wish to sleep. I am sure you two feel the same." Turning back around toward the window, she heard the two women head towards the stairs but she could not help taunting them, "I will expect you both down in the kitchen bright and early in the morning. I hope I won't have to come find you tomorrow in much the same predicament as I found you both tonight?" Ororo was sure that both Jean and Rogue were blushing from head to toe and it brought a smile to her face. "Now off to bed and sleep well." Once the two were gone Ororo let out a little laugh and whispered beneath her breath, "Sleep being he operative word."
Rogue and Jean left Ororo by the window and made their way up the stairs slowly, not quite sure or what to do or what to expect come morning. Although, some of their questions had been answered and some of their fears assuaged they were still uncertain because their future seemed uncertain. Ororo seemed to accept them for who they were and whom they loved but was everyone going to be as welcoming, as loving and understanding as Ororo had seemed? Jean went into her room knowing Rogue would follow. She closed and locked the door behind her.
"Come on." Jean extended her hand to Rogue and led her to the bed. They both undressed quietly and slipped into bed in the same manner. Soon the two were embracing each other, Rogue's back to Jean's front, as they both slipped into a confused and wary state of sleep. Neither one was sure of what to expect or what was expected of them come morning.
AN: AAAAARRRRRRHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!! I apologize for my sorry excuse of a chapter. Please, stay tuned for the next chapter which should include some more Rogue angst, some more evil plotting on Jean's part, what kind, I leave up to you to decide.
