Chapter 7
"And where do ya think ya goin?" He said looking down at her, because he was a few inches taller.
"What's it to you, you the Protector of the X-geeks or something? Oh wait, ain't that one eye's job." Rogue said looking him start in the eyes, partly because she couldn't stop looking at them. Remy was about retort something back when they heard a scream coming from down the hall. Remy and Rogue looked out at the hall to find Pyro, also known as John, talking to a girl in a corner.
"Well, if it isn't one of the Acolytes." Remy muttered.
"The who?"
"Didn't the Professor tell you, they're Magneto's men." Rogue mentally put it on her things to learn list, then the two scooted forward to hear what he was saying.
"Aw, I'm sorry, I swear I didn't mean to! Look can I just have my lighter, yeah its right behind you. Aw, come on please." The girl was too frightened to give it back to him and just stood there like a statue. Rogue on the other hand found this all quite retarded and quickly made her way behind the girl and grabbed the lighter and gave it to John, then without a second thought walked down the hall and out the door to the parking lot. Remy followed behind her.
"What do you think your doin? It's your first day of school and you're ditchin?" He said easily catching up with her fast paced walk.
"So what if I'm ditchin, it's not like this education stuff'll ever come in handy. Like any mutant could ever get a decent job." Rogue rounded on him, "And besides I have to find another place to stay besides your stupid mansion." She turned back around and walked toward someone's car. Remy stayed where he was, he didn't really believe she could unlock a car with nothing but her hands. However, Rogue had been over this with her mom like a million times, she just changed her hand to a flat piece of metal and stuck it down the window. She quickly unlocked the door and stepped inside. 'Well so much for nothing but her hands.' Remy sighed this was definitely going to turn ugly. Rogue looked at Remy and smiled and added just to spite him, "Whatcha waitin for, ain't ya comin?" Rogue was ready to laugh at the look on his face, but Remy just nodded and stepped into the other side of the car. It was Rogue's turn to be shocked, 'What the heck is he doin?'
"I thought ya didn't want me ta go?" Remy just smiled, 'Ha like she'll ever get the car started.' Rogue just shrugged and changed her hand again and in no time she had the car started. 'You have got to be kidding me, she even knows how to steal cars,' Remy sighed, 'Looks like Remy gonna have some competition.' Rogue smiled to herself, she had tapped into Jean's power just to see what he was thinking. 'HA! Competition! I'm WAY out of your league, demon boy. Two people can play at this game.'
"Buckle up we're gonna take a ride ya never forget." Rogue touched the steering wheel, and combined the Blob's strength with Pietro's speed and made the car reach 120 mph in a matter of seconds. Rogue laughed, she could have sworn she heard Remy scream like a girl. She slowed the car down when they reached the bridge she wanted to go to. Remy remembered this bridge, it was the bridge where they would hide things they stole from other people at the mansion, but he thought Xavier took all the stuff away. Rogue calmly went to the side of the bridge and stepped over the railing.
"Are you insane?" Remy yelled, "Come back here!" Rogue turned and grinned then took an amazing dive.
"NOOOOO!" Remy screamed as he ran to the railing. He looked down to find a pair of hands hanging to the bottom of the railing.
"Jesus Christ! What is wrong with you screaming like that? You almost broke my concentration." Rogue yelled, so Remy could hear. Remy looked down in confusion, 'How the heck did she do that?' One of the hands hanging seemed to grab something then she looked up to see him looking down, she smiled. She let go of the railing.
"NOOOOO!" Remy yelled again. Rogue flew up to where Remy was standing but she was a yard away from the railing. Rogue laughed at Remy's face.
"Scream twice in five minutes I'd say that a record for you Remy LeBeau." Rogue said still laughing.
"How would you know?" Remy said angrily.
"Hellu! You're not the only thief livin in the mansion now a days. I just happen to fancy ya memories instead of money." Rogue grinned. She flew back to the railing.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were worried." Rogue laughed. Remy grumbled, 'Great she not only knows everything about me, she suicidal. That ruins the option of threatening her to shut up.' Rogue smiled, 'This is gonna be fun.' She looked down at the list she had taken from her hidden spot under the bridge. She had placed it there when she was sent to Mystique's home, that's all she ever really remembered from her younger years. Remy got in the car and actually buckled up this time.
"So...now where ya takin us?" Rogue just grinned and sped to downtown New York. She would get rid of him then go on with her plans. She stopped abruptly at a nice jewelry store. Conveniently there were two on each side of the road.
"I have a proposition for you, how about we see who can steal a diamond necklace in less time." Remy raised an eyebrow, 'So that's what she's doin, tryin to make me look like some idiot. Well, we'll see who the idiot is when this is over.' Remy agreed and Rogue told him all the rules, such as don't blow anything up. Remy nodded and then got out of the car. Rogue smiled to herself, 'This is too easy.' In a split second she combined her powers again and sped away.
"And where do ya think ya goin?" He said looking down at her, because he was a few inches taller.
