TWO FRIENDS II
CHAPTER 3
OTAK THE CANADIAN
A/N: Sorry I didn't get this chapter out last week but but hey things happen but don't worry this chappie is extra long to make up for it. Since no one suggested any other pairings to me I went with one of my favorites.

Jean found Rogue talking to someone on the hall telephone. This was the last place she expected the younger goth girl. Since Risty/Mystiques betrayal Rogue hadn't had very much interest in gettting to know other people from school or any place else for that matter. So seeing her on the phone piqued Jeans interest immediately.
" Yes. . . I'm sure! We can go see Star Wars III tonight." Rogue said into the phone.
After a brief pause, "Stop trying to back out. It's the least I can do after Tuesday night and besides. . . I wanted to see you anyway, Morty"she almost whispered the last before saying
"Bye! See ya later!"and hanging up the phone she started down the hall to her room.
"So who's Morty?" Jean asked lightly.
"None of your damn business!" Rogue turned to face Jean.
"Sorry Jean, I thought you were Jubilee trying to butt into my life again." Rogue apologized "but I'm still not gonna tell you who it is."
"Okay" Jean said " I won't pry – besides I want to ask you something else. How would you like to play a joke on Scott?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"Sure but what's the catch, why me ?" Rogue wanted to know since Jean and Scott were ususally so close.
" Look, I know both Kitty and Kurt talk to you so I know you know that they're together. So I just need you to gather everyone who knows about them tomorrow while Scott is in the Danger Room with the new recruits, alright?" explained Jean.
"What are you gonna do to him?" Rogue asked; her eyes lighting up mischieviously.
Jean started explaining as Rogue thought back to Tuesday when she had found out about Kurt and Kittys relationship. She was walking down the hall when she heard Kurts voice come from her and Kittys room. - Great! He and Kitty are probably in the middle of a tickle fight or something. When are those two gonna get some brains and get – she thought as she opened the door and saw something she hoped to see someday but was shocked to see none the less. Kurt was leaning over Kitty deeeply kissing her while his two fingered hands gently stroked her hair. Kitty meanwhile was running his tail tip in random circles across her exposed midriff.
"together!" Rogue finished the thought out loud. Kurt jumped straight up in the air sticking to the ceiling like a cartoon cat.Slowly coming down the wall as Kitty did up her pink sweater(mostly to cover up the fact that the halter she was wearing was Rogus; liberated from the goth girls closet earlier that day.)
"Rogue, we can explain." Kitty squeaked, worried about Rogues reaction to her and her "bubba".
"Rogue, we can explain." Kurt said at almost the exact same time, he was worried about Rogues reaction to him and her best friend.
"About damn time!" Rogue said to them after regaining her composure. "I knew if you two ever finally gave up on those losers you'd been dating it wouldn't take you long to get together but damn! . . this was quick."
" You knew?" Kitty asked as Kurt sat on the bed taking her hand in his.
"Well. . . yeah! Everyone knows that Kurt's been crushing on you since you came here with his Katzchen this and Katzchen that, and if I had a nickel for every time I've heard you say "fuzzy elf" or "tail" in your sleep I'd have as much money as the professor!" she explained with some satisfaction at seeing the red and purple blushes spreading over their faces.
"You know Katzchen; keeping this a secret might be harder than we thought." Kurt said and at the quizzical expression from Rogue he then told her about Jeans advice to which Rogue could only agree .
"Yeah I can see her point about privacy and you're about to get some more bcause I'm supposed to be running into town and back for threatening to drain Jubes for asking me a bunch of dumb questions about boys. I just came back to get my wallet."she told them with a sigh. " so I'll see you guys later, have fun!" she smiled as she left.
45 minutes later---
Rogue was just headed back to the mansion after stopping at the mall for some window shopping and a drink of water. She didn't notice the men in the white T-Shirts following her into the park which ended fairly close to Greymalken lanebefore two of the men with F.O.H. on their shirts stepped in front of her from behind some trees.
"Excuse me" Rogue mumbled trying to get around them without touching them by accident when she noticed others comeing out of the woods to surround them.
"We know you're from Xaviers School for Freaks, girlie." one of them said
"Yeah, so?" Since Apocolypse several of these anti-mutant groups had popped up. Most of them weren't much trouble and would usually run away when they were confronted with a real mutant with powers.
"So nothing; we just wanted to give you a present!" and with that something metellic was snapped around her throat by someone behind her. Quickly she pulled off her glove and turned to slap the man closest to her and braced herself for the flash of memories but it never came. Instead he slapped her hard across the face; knocking her to the ground; while the first man to speak held something up.
"I don't know what your freak powers are but that collar blocks them until I open it with this remote; now we're gonna have some fun!"he said leering down at her.
As Rogue slowly got to her knees she was to stunned to fight back immediately and one of the men kicked her in the stomach causing her to retch and almost lose her lunch on the ground.The thought that went through her head was – Shitty fuckin' luck! I can be touched and now I'm gonna die! God Damn Mother . . . Hey! IS that Spider-man! -
Sure enough' there kicking ass on all the goons in the gang, moving almost too fast to see, was Spider-man jumping liake a bug on a hot skillet kicking his way to her and quickly scooping her up while grabbing the remote from the leader whom he'd just kicked in the groin ashe shouted "The lady's with me, yo!"then with a few mighty leaps he got them out of the park and across the street and into an alley where they waited in silence for a few minutes to see if any of the F.O.H. Was following them. Finally Rogue spoke.
"Are you gonna turn that inducer of anytime soon Toad?" she replied angrily grabbing his wrist and hitting the button revealing Todd Mortimer Tolensky in all his green glory.
"Can't I even play hero for a little while,yo?" he said a little sullenly that she hadn't even said thank you .
Rogue was a taken back at his tone. He sounded so diappointed and then she remembered that while she was at the boarding house he used to read "Superman" and "Green Lantern" comics by the dozen; buying them at yard sales and used book stores whenever he could afford them. But he never read them in front of the other guys for fear of giving them any more ammunition to tease him with but she had watched him once when he left the door to his room open. She'd seen the look of admiration and hope on his face when he read them. In fact, more and more she'd found herself thinking about that look and how sweet he was to her when the others weren't there to tease him. In the months since she'd come to Xavier's she'd come to realize how much she missed Todd and those rare moments when he could be himself and that's when she decided to do something decidedly un-Roguelike.
"Todd . . .Todd" she called lifting his chin up with her hand, prideing herself that it only trembled a little.
"Todd . . . thank you for saveing me from those guys." and then she kissed him for a long time as they both maevelled at the new sensations going through both their bodies.
"Wow" was all either of them could say as they drew apart.
"Um . . . I gotta go but . . . um would you like to go out on Friday?" Rogue stammered , "So I can thank you properly." she added when he didn't answer right away.
"Yes" Todd squeaked out still in shock over everything. "Here, you'd better take this." he said pressing the remote into her hand which he was shocked to see had moved off his wrist and was lightly holding his hand.
"and that's the plan!" Jean said excitedly as Roogue realized she hadn't heard a word the older telepath had said.
Jean looked at her watch and ran down the hall with a squeak about seeing Scott soon , which caused Rogue to look at her own watch and yell.
"Shit! I'm late and I've still got to see Logan and Forge !"
A/N well that was long enough I don't know if I'm going to include Rogues date in the next chapter or not but don't worry the story becomes much more Kurtty soon , since they weren't in this chapter to much Otak the Canadian
