Next Chapter! Yay! But first, a note!
Okay, so I posted chapters four and fiveyesterday...morning I think. Istayed onlne most of the day and I got off and started to write the next two chapters which I finished at like 11:30 then I had to go to sleep.
I just came online like, a couple minutes ago and I got five emails saying I got reviews! I was sooo happy!
Fauna Greywolf: Sorry.I do a lot of cliffies, so you'll have to keep guessing.
Bored247: Thanks for the compliements. I know, going into your mind would be great. I mean, the things I could do...forgets what she's doing and thinks.. lol. yea.
Chica De Los Ojos Cafe: thanks for the compliements! Here's another update!
Cat4fat900: grrr, just my luck that you have mad computer skills. cries in corner because the squirrles are going to hold her hostage until she gives them my info and then they'll come after me. lol. I have said this to countless other people, but I have never meant it as much as I mean it now... You're special. grins
Last Time:
Rogue hugged Remy. "I love you too, Rem," she said. They stayed there for a second.
"Rem?" asked Rogue. Remy let her go just enough to be able to look her in the face, and still hold onto her.
"Yeah, chere?" he asked.
Rogue didn't say anything, just brought his face down, so that his lips met hers.
Chapter 6- Jean Ew
At first Remy was surprised, unsure of what would happen. But then, Rogue's powers be damned, he got into the kiss, caressing her lips with his tongue, and pushing against her lips gently. Once she allowed him entry, he slid his tongue into her mouth, exploring it.
Once they realized that they were out of needed air, they broke the kiss.
"Rogue?" asked Remy.
Rogue brought her lips to his once more in a quick kiss.
"I have control now," she said.
Remy didn't respond, instead he brought his head back down, for another round of kisses.
(-strawberrie-)
After their little make-out session, Rogue went back to her room glowing.
"What was it like?" asked a sleepy Kitty when Rogue entered.
Rogue was too happy to be shocked that Kitty was awake.
"Wonderful," she said. "Can't wait to knock his pants off at the beach house."
(-strawberrie-)
Back in Rogue's MindRogue walked into the house, adding calendars everywhere, making the calendars in the rooms match the personality of the person in the room.
She was just about to leave when she heard a voice.
"Rogue, wait," said Kitty. Her psyche actually.
Rogue turned. "Yeah?" she asked.
"The thing Logan told you yesterday? That we had to tell you but we left you to wake up? I have to like, tell you now," she said.
"Okay," said Rogue. "What is it?"
"You can like, totally use our powers!" said Kitty.
"What?" asked Rogue.
"Here, follow me," said Kitty. She led Rogue back to the elevator and then to the 'Power' room.
Today though, each globe was filled with a colored liquid, making a sort of rainbow around the room. Scott's globe was filled with red liquid, Jean's a lighter shade of red than Scott's, Sabretooth's was yellow, Mystique's was a dark blue, Kurt's was a regular blue, Kitty's was pink and so on.
"What's this?" asked Rogue.
"You see, when you absorbed us, you also absorbed our powers," said Kitty. "You were able to use them temporarily because it was our first time in here, and we couldn't keep control of our powers, so naturally they went to you. Once we found our way in here, we got our powers back, along with the memories you took from us." Kitty motioned over to a wall where there were filling drawers with each person's name. Rogue didn't remember seeing those before.
"So like, if you want to view our memories, we organized them and stored them in there," said Kitty. "Anyway, we have our powers back now, but we can give them to you to use. That's what the globe's function is. The colored liquid is our power. All you have to do is for example teleport somewhere. As you port, or as you phase, you'll use a bit of the liquid from Kurt's globe. Once it's gone, you can't use the liquid anymore."
"So, ah have ta use ya're powahs wisely because they'll run out?" asked Rogue.
"Sort of," said Kitty. "If you use some of my power, I can come down here, put my hand against the globe and it will refill. If you need the power for a long time, I can hold my hand against the globe while you use it, causing you to keep my power for awhile. But eventually I'll tire, and you won't be able to use my power anymore. After that, I'll have to sleep or something, to like, rejuvenate my power. You get it?"
"Yeah," said Rogue. "Ah think ah get it."
She paused. "So if ah got hurt in battle, ah could use Logan's healing factor?" she asked.
"Yeah," said Kitty. "But like, be careful. We can put our power in, and we can take some out. It all depends on our mood."
"Okay, thanks Kit," said Rogue.
"You're welcome," said Kitty. "Now go to sleep."
(-strawberrie-)
The next morning Rogue woke up refreshed and happy. She thought about last night with Remy and grinned.
Quietly so as to not disturb Kitty she got out of her covers and dodged all the bags to the bathroom.
After she had showered and changed she went downstairs to eat breakfast.
As soon as she entered the kitchen she made a beeline to the coffee maker.
"So Rogue, where were you and Kitty last night?" Jean asked loudly. She made sure to speak when Logan and Ororo were in the room.
"You made it back pretty late, an hour after curfew I believe, and then you were brave enough to sneak out for a bit," she said.
All the kids were silent, waiting to hear Rogue's response. After a while she responded.
"Ah fail to see why where ah went is any of ya're business," she said.
"It's my business if you're not following basic rules," said Jean.
"Ah'm sorry Ms. Perfect Jeannie," said Rogue sarcastically. She put her empty coffee mug in the sink. "Ah'll trah ta do betta next tahme."
She turned and glared at Jean. "Stay outta mah business," she said.
She walked out of the kitchen. Jean got up and followed her into the common room. The others, sensing a fight followed silently.
"Honestly Rogue," said Jean. "Just because you're 'untouchable' doesn't mean you have to be unsociable. You purposefully distance yourself from us, and then you act like we're to blame? Boo hoo, I'm untouchable. I'm a thief of powers and I'll never experience the pleasures of life because I'm too damn ugly to get a boyfriend, even without my powers. You got a lot of nerve and you know what you're also got a lot of nerve to do? Befriend the enemy, and not only befriend the enemy, but go out with the enemy. I mean have you no sense? You are by far the, dumbest, rudest, most naïve…"
Rogue didn't want to hear anymore. She quickly took off her glove and punched Jean in the face.
Everyone was too shocked to see Jean get punched by Rogue to realize they had skin to skin contact.
"Who has a lot of nerve? Ya do!" said Rogue. She was beyond furious. "Who distances themselves from who? Do ya not think ah reahlize how ya always make absolutely sure that no part of yar skin will touch mahne? Do ya reahlize how ya flinch whenevah Ah'm near? Who's ta blame?" Jean stood there, holding her hand to her cheek, shocked that Rogue had punched her.
"If ah'm too ugly ta get a boyfriend how come ah've got Remy? And so what he's an Acolyte? Hello! Magneto is gone! Acolytes are no more! Everyone's got a past, does that mean they have no right ta make a future? How did ya know about Remy anyway? How'd ya know Kitty and ah were past curfew? How'd ya know ah went into the woods! Hmm, Ah wonder! Did ya happen ta read my mind? Such an act is forbidden, Miss Perfect. It's one of da rules. Yah're not allowed ta use yar powahs on anotha X-Man."
"And who's stupid? Ya're the one that didn't notice Ah just punched ya with mah bare hand." Rogue held up her hand as proof. "Yeah! Ah just punched yar face with mah bare hand. That's right! Ah can touch! Ah have control!
"And guess what?" she asked. She turned one hand into magma, using Amara's power and the other into metal using Piotr's power. "Ah'm even more 'untouchable' than before."
She started to beat Jean up, using all the powers she has collected from everyone over the years. As she was beating the crap out of Jean she kept talking, as if she was beating Jean up effortlessly.
"Ya see, now that ah have control, ah also have control ova every powah ah have taken," said Rogue. She used Jean's powers to lift Jean in the air and shake her right and left so that Jean started to flop around uselessly like a rag doll.
Finally, Rogue laid Jean flat on the floor. Jean was panting heavily, unable to do anything but lie there and stare at Rogue with wide eyes.
"Ya know tha best part though?" asked Rogue. "Ah'm still a thief." Rogue pressed her bare fingers to Jean's temple. Using her own powers Rogue knocked Jean out.
(-strawberrie-)
While Rogue walked back to her room she checked her "power supply." Rogue wasn't surprised when she saw that Jean's psyche had taken the all liquid out of her globe and that Kitty, Kurt, Remy, Logan, Ororo, John and even Piotr had given her so much of their powers that their globes were twice as big as before.
:Rogue can you please come and see me: asked the Professor.
:Sure Professor: replied Rogue. She turned so that instead of going to her room she went to the elevator that led down to the Professor's office.
When she got there she knocked.
"Come in," said the Professor.
Rogue entered and sat down in the chair in front of the Professor's desk.
"Rogue, I want you to know I know about the incident earlier today," said the Professor. "Hank is currently attending to Jean who as of right now is in very bad shape. What you did to her is unacceptable and you are going to be punished. Is there anything you'd like to say in your defense before I tell you your punishment?"
"She deserved it Professah," said Rogue. "She's deserved it foah a long tahme."
The Professor smiled a bit before his face became stern. "That maybe so," he said. "But still, you have to be punished for breaking the rules. I'm tempted to cancel your trip…" Rogue opened her mouth to protest. The professor held up a finger silencing her.
"But I know that won't do anyone any good," said the Professor. "So your punishment is you are not to leave mansion grounds until your trip."
"Thanks Professah," said Rogue. "Is that all?"
"Almost," said the Professor. "So you're able to control the powers of anyone you've absorbed?"
"Sort of," said Rogue. "They have ta give meh access ta it. Ya know the globes Ah told ya before?" The Professor nodded remembering when Rogue told him about the power room the day she first got control.
"When they put their hands on tha globe their powahs fill inta it," said Rogue. "Wheneva ah use their powahs, a bit of the liquid leahves (leaves). When they put their hands on it again it fills up again. They can also take their powahs away from meh, foah example, Jean took all use of her powahs away from meh."
"I'll bet," said the Professor. "That's interesting. Congratulations on the mastery of it. That's all. You may go."
"Thanks," said Rogue. "See ya." She got up and walked out and to her room.
(-no more strawberries-)
Another Chapter for you faithful fans. There's your Jean bashing. It was fun writing that.
Okay, I realized I've kind of left the other characters out there…ish. I'm going to try and switch view points or switch couple view points, because I can't really talk in a male perspective. It doesn't work.
What do you think? (about the chapter) I won't know unless you REVIEW!
