MORE HEADACHES
Ah was just so angry on the drive. The headache came back, not slowly though. It came very fast like a sharp pain, then all of a sudden mah eyes started ta burn. Ah pulled over real quick and shut the car off. Ah got outta the car as fast as Ah could, when Ah noticed that Jean and Logan stopped too, but then Scott's beams shot out of mah eyes. Ah shut mah eyes as soon as Ah was aware of what was happenin' and the pain subsided so Ah look ta see what happened and Ah apparently shot them at Jean. At first Ah almost laughed, but then it wasn't her fault, so Ah started ta feel bad. She used her telekinesis ta block the blast, but it shot her back 'bout forty feet and straight onta her backside. After Logan helped her up, he was still tryin' ta piece it together. He put her inta their truck and came ta talk ta meh. Ah jumped inta the car seat and was 'bout to shut the door when he stopped meh.
"What was that?"
"Ah don't know."
"You're lyin."
"Mah powers. It just happens. Ah didn't mean ta."
"How."
"Ah've been gettin' headaches. Ah don't have much control over it. They run with mah-"
"Your what?"
"Look, we need ta get goin'. Anna ain't got no powers ta save her."
"Alright, but this ain't over, darlin'."
We finally got ta the stupid settlement. Mah first instinct was ta turn 'round and run back the way Ah came. He don't want nothin' ta do with us, fine. He can have the lil red head. 'Pparently she's what every man wants. They can fight over her like a bunch o'barbarians for all Ah care. Men and red heads, go figure. Logan and Jean went somewhere ta fix her up while he sent somebody else ta help meh ta a cabin. At first Ah didn't notice who it was, but then who could forget that evil grin, Pyro.
"Hey Marie."
"John, it's just Rogue now."
"Well, Rogue, long time no see."
"Thought ya'll were with Mystique."
"Naw, the sheila went missin' not long after you left. Gotta find a way ta live. Got stuck here."
"That's kinda creepy sugah. They let crazy pyromaniacs inta this place?"
"Shh, that's our lil secret."
"Secrets out sugah. Anybody within a block radius gonna know that." He opened the door for meh and brought mah stuff in and closed the door behind him.
"So who's the lil sheila?"
"Anna, ya'll can look at her if'n ya'll want."
"She's cute as a button. She's yours ain't she?"
"Gee, what gave it away. With all the time ya'll spent starrin' at mah ass before, Ah'm surprised ya'll ever noticed anythin' else." Ah said with mah hand on mah hip and Ah smirked at him.
"Come on Ma-Rogue, give me some credit."
"Give meh ya'll lighter."
"Not in a million years."
"Exactly."
"Who's the daddy? Thought you couldn't touch?"
"What's this, twenty questions? Or did Wolvie decide that he wanted ya'll ta interogated meh while he took care of poor defenseless Jeanie?"
"No, curious."
"Curiousity killed the cat, sugah."
"Still stubborn, hard headed and wantin no help from others huh Rogue." He smirked. Oh no, that that, oh mah head. Ah doubled over and John ran over ta meh.
"Rogue, Rogue! Come on Rogue!" Behind meh a noticed a candle on the table. The fire grew, it turned inta the shape of Logan. Then mah body shifted, Ah looked at John and he jumped back. Then mah body shifted back and mah head stopped throbbin'.
"John?" Ah mumbled.
"Mystique?" What?
"No John, it's Rogue."
"How did you-"
"How did Ah what?"Ah stood up and checked on Anna.
"You shifted into me." Oh no.
"John, was that you who did that with the candle?"
"Do what, I didn't do nothing." Great.
"John Ah have these headaches. Mah powers, Ah think Ah'm losin' control. Ah'm usin' powers Ah haven't used in a long time. Ah shouldn't be able ta do that."
"That why you came here?"
"No John, but Ah want ya'll ta promise that this stays 'tween ya'll and meh."
"Promise."
"Anna's Logan's." His jaw just dropped and he went a deathly shade of pale.
"Logan's?"
"Yes sir. Went through a lot ta get here, we were captured when Ah was pregnant. Neither of us knew. Escaped, found her and ended up here ta see him happily eveah aftah with-"
"Jean."
"Ah'm leavin' tomorrow mornin'. Ah can't stay here with that."
"I understand. If you need anything, let me know. I'm in the next cabin across the way."
"Thanks John."
"Not a problem. You get some sleep. You're going to need it. If you want I'll take the lil sheila off your hands for the night."
"Ah dunno."
"I will protect her with my life."
"Thanks John." Ah kissed mah fingers and put them on his cheek as he left with mah Anna. If Ah could trust anybody here, it's John. He's nevah let meh down before, not even on a mission.
