Chapter 16
Mystique stared down at Rogue with an amused smirk. She touched the girl's cheek softly and made the young one face her.
"It would be so easy," she cooed. "Just to give in. You're not betraying anyone. You're helping mutant kind prepare for the war that is to come. You will be the top dog," she was interrupted.
"Look, sugah, Ah don't know about you, but when Ah'm compared to a dog, Ah don't exactly git weak in tha knees," Rogue said with a slow mocking smile. "So yur gonna have tuh come up with somethin' better than that." Mystique's face didn't lose its amused expression.
"Fine," she said quietly. "I'm done here. Remy, you give it a try." The door opened and Mystique walked passed a nervous Remy and shut the door behind him.
"How are ya doin', chere?" Rogue didn't answer him. Instead, she glared at him. "Remy, can tell dat your still upset."
"Upset?" Rogue broke her silence angrily. "Ah'm upset? Swamp-rat Ah'm fuckin' pissed!"
"Ah'm sorry, chere-"
"No, yur not! Othawise Ah wouldn't be heah, groggy as all hell, tryin tuh figure out how Ah'm gonna git outta heah."
"Yep, he brought her hear all right," said Logan sniffing the air once they'd reached the outside of the mansion. He turned to the three boys standing behind him. "When we go inside all hell will probably break lose so tell me if you can't handle it and I'll get the Rogue myself."
"No," Adam said shaking his head determinedly. "We're going in." Logan grinned and allowed his claws to come out of his hands.
"Well, then, let's party."
"Remy, get out here! We're being attacked!" Remy looked up suddenly from Rogue who grinned at him.
"Well, would ya look at that, sugah," she said with a crooked grin. "Looks lihke Ah won't have tuh wonder anymore cause heah comes tha Calvary." She smiled through the swollen lip given to her by Mystique from the slap earlier. Remy didn't respond, but instead, went to open the door. He had just placed his hands on the knob when it was blown off the hinges and he was thrown across the room. He landed on the floor with a thud and seemed to be unconscious.
Adam stood behind the doorway, his hands outstretched, showing that he was the source of the explosion. Even from her chair, Rogue could tell that he was pissed. She smiled at him as he entered the room to help her.
"Hey, sugah," she said groggily. "Ah missed ya. Did ya happen to bring meh any watah? This tranquilizer they gave meh gives meh cotton mouth lihke hell." She smiled again before losing consciousness and Adam swore.
"Hey!" Blake shouted as he threw an electricity ball at Mystique who dodged it. "Grab Rogue and lets split! I don't know how long I can hold Lady Blue off!" Adam nodded as he unbound Rogue and threw her over his shoulder before running as fast as he could, while holding her, out of the room. He stepped on the unconscious Cajun with a satisfied grin.
"Where's Logan?" he asked David, who was swinging a bat he'd materialized, at Toad.
"He's taking care of Blob!" David said pointing momentarily down the hall. Adam looked and saw Logan, red faced and angry, giving blob the beat-down of his life.
"I've got her!" Adam shouted aloud to Logan and his brothers. He headed towards the exit with them bringing up the rear. He reached Logan's car, just ahead of the others, and placed Rogue carefully inside. He turned as the others were getting in the car and began to blow up pieces of Magneto's mansion as a distraction. Once everyone was in the car Adam entered it also and they drove off.
"Thanks, Logan," Blake said with a sigh as they drove off towards Xavier's mansion.
"No problem kid, I needed a workout." Logan grinned again. "And I got to leave a mark on old Blob."
Adam sat in the back quietly holding Rogue's head in his hands. He stared at her pale face and noticed with a slight fear that he was making skin-to-skin contact with her. He started to move his hand when he noticed nothing was happening. He couldn't feel the pull of her powers like Blake had described. He felt nothing.
He wanted so badly to wake her up and ask her about this sudden change but her didn't. Instead he just sat there stroking her cheek and enjoying the feel of her skin on his. Before he knew it, he'd bent over her and touched his lips to hers in a soft kiss. As he moved away he saw her eyes open.
"Mm," she moaned quietly. "So soft."
