MORE AGGRAVATION
Ah narrow mah eyes and put mah hand on mah hip.
"What do ya'll want, Wolverine?"
"Like I said darlin', we need to talk."
"So...talk."
"Hank verified her as my daughter."
"Oh ya'll needed verifyin'. Mah words no good 'round here. Ah thought Ah knew ya'll better than that. But obviously Ah was very wrong. That was proven a long time ago when Ah saw Jean hangin' off a'ya last night though."
"Rogue, that is unnecessary."
"Unnecessary! Unnecessary! Ah'll give ya'll unnecessary!"
"I'm not here to fight ya darlin'."
"Don't darlin' meh. Ah ain't yours!"
"Obviously." Ah was taken back.
"What do ya'll want?"
"I don't want you to go."
"Excuse meh. Am Ah hearin' ya'll right? What do ya'll think Ah'm gonna stay here with ya'll? Ya lost ya marbles Logan."
"Never really thought about having a family-"
"And Ah never thought Ah could have one!"
"But she is mine too."
"Maybe, but Ah'm all Ah got left. Ah ain't leavin' her here so that she can call Jean momma, and Ah can't stay and watch ya'll shacked up."
"I'm sorry Rogue."
"Meh too, Ah really thought ya meant it."
"I did. I still do."
"Then whay ya'll with Jean?"
"She needs me. I needed her when we thought you were dead."
"What a load a'bull. Ya'll used meh for somethin' ta keep ya'll mind occupied. Ya always held a flame fer her, Ah ain't stupid. Ah saw ya'll hesitate 'tween meh and her the day the sentinels came."
"Your invunerable Rogue. She's"
"Not ta everythin'. Ya'll know Scott's alive too?" He hesitated.
"No."
"But ya'll knew it was possible. He thought he saw her die. She told him good-bye Logan."
"When?"
"When the place blew up."
"What she didn't tell ya'll?"
"I'm sure she had her reasons."
"Yeah, Ah'm sure she did." With that he just looked at meh.
"It's kevlar."
"What?"
"The suit ya'll eyein'."
"How?"
"None of ya'll business. Ah'm a survivor. Ah don't need ya'll for protection. Ah can get things done on mah own just fahne. Got this far didn't Ah?"
"Yeah, yeah ya have darlin'." He called meh that again and he smirked. Ah can't take this anymore, and Ah can't calm mahself down. Oh no, here come's 'nother headache 'gain. This time the ground started ta shake as Ah screamed out in pain. Then Ah passed out. Ah woke up Ah had Hank hoverin' ovah meh.
"She ok?"
"She's fine. In fact, sleeping beauty has awaken. How are you feeling my dear?"
"Where am Ah? What happened?"
"Do you know who Ah am?"
"Hank Ah'm fine, now answer the question."
"The medical cabin. There was some type of geological occurrence."
"In english sugah."
"An earthquake."
"Oh no, not 'gain." Ah mumbled.
"Again?"
"Hank, it's mah powers."
"I figured as such. When I took a sample of your blood, it looked like it was mutating."
"Mutatin'. Ah'm already a mutant sugah."
"I know, but your powers are evolving."
"Figured as such. Ah can't control it much. Ah get these headaches and then somethin' happens."
"When Logan brought you in, he said you were angry."
"Yeah, stress doesn't seem ta help."
"Then control may very likely tied to your emotions. It is not unheard of, it is how most mutants control them."
"Ah know, but how long have Ah been out?"He looks at his watch.
"Two hours, eleven minutes and fourty two point five seconds."
"Do Ah have a clean bill of health?"
"Yes Rogue. You may go, but I insist that Pyro here accompanies you." Ah turn and just notice John standin' there with that crazy grin.
"Great, can't Ah evah get rid of yah. Ya'll like a cockroach."
"You know you love meh."
"Whatevah." John puts out his hand ta help meh up and Ah just laugh.
"Ah don't need ya'll help. 'Sides, who's your woman of the hour."
"I penciled you in, since yes you need my help. Beast insisted. Doctors orders."
"Since when do Ah listen ta anybody?"
"Good point." We both laugh as he walks meh ta mah cabin. When we get ta the door Ah ask, "Where's Anna?"
"Her dear ol' dad is teachin' her about the stone ages."
"What?"
"Yah know, since he was probably alive then." We both laugh again.
"Ah forgot how much fun ya'll were ta have 'round."
"Yeah, too bad everything went the way it did. We could'a made beautiful music together."
"Ya'll so full of it John."
"And you're a tease."
"Flamer."
"Skunk."
"Oh, that's original."
"I know you are but what am I?"
