Rogue opened her eyes slightly, her vision blurred by her tears. Her head throbbed as tried to see were she was. It felt as if she was on a sofa but how? She let out a low moan as she tried to turn and see were she was. Blob entered the room a look of shock crossed his face as well as hers. 'What the' she tried to say but her throat felt on fire. Blob turned around and yelled something that oddly she couldn't hear. But Rogue didn't care really she just wanted to sleep, her head hurt so much.

A tear ran down her cheek and someone wiped if off. Rogue opened her eyes to find Pietro kneeling next to her with gloves on. 'What' she tried again only to have him place a finger gently over her mouth 'Shhh' he said in a low voice, she was glad too, her head was spinning 'I say some guys about to kill you and stopped them and took ya here.' She smiled weekly and closed her eyes welcoming the sleep that was calling to her. She mouthed a 'thank you' at went to sleep.

Pietro moved away from her and pulled off the gloves. Toad stood in the door way of the kitchen looking up at him 'Man is a good thing ya got there in time other wise well' He bounced up and flopped down onto the table pretending to be dead. 'Yea I know' He said I just wish I could have gotten there sooner he thought as he walked over to the stairs about to head up, when something caught his ears. Crap he thought as the all to familiar sound of his father's lackey Gambit's bike pulled up. Every once and a while he'd come over and check up on them, seeing how then were doing and pick a quick fight.

Toad jumped up in fear and started at a half run half hop up the stairs 'I'm not hear' He yelled down slamming a door closed and locking in up too. The door swung open and Gambit strolled inside. 'Well what do we have hear?' He said looking around the house a look of disgusted on his face. 'So sorry I had no idea we'd be having company.' Pietro said hatefully watching the Cajun cross the room to were Rogue lay covered by a blanket. 'Well it looks like I've found de toad.' Pietro quickly moved in fount of him as to stop him from doing anything to the so called Toad 'Stop don't' Pietro tried not wanting any more harm to come to Rogue. 'What don't ya like Frog Legs?' Gambit pushed Pietro out of the way and bent down charging the blanket.

'No!' Pietro tried to get over to her as Gambit heated it more and more 'Stop now!' Gambit smirked and said 'why do ya not want ma to fry him?' Gambit heard a moan and turned to see Rogue trying to kick off the blanket. Gambit pulled back taking his charge with him 'what da heck is de chere doing hear?!' He looked down at her, there was a gash across her neck and her face looked red. 'She got ganged up on and I stopped them before they killed her.' Gambit looked at Pietro then back to Rogue 'is de pitte gonna be okay?' He didn't take his eyes off Rogue until he didn't hear the answer from Pietro 'Well?' He looked up for he too was staring at her 'Beats me'

'Beats you heck I'll beat ya' He moved closer to Pietro until someone behind him kicked him hard in the shin. 'Hey!?' He turned around to see Rogue standing up, barely 'Hey yourself swamp rat! Leave him alone now!' She moved towards him only to lose her balance and fall. Gambit caught her and helped her back up 'Thanks Cajun but ahm fine.' She snapped and then looked over to Pietro 'Thank you but I'd like to go home now.'
