Something was wrong today. All she knew that it had to do with Allana. That was about all she had gathered in the hustle and bustle this morning. She was sitting alone in her bedroom. Her thoughts wondered to that of Pietro. Had he lost his mind? What was going through his head when he decided to attack Scott like that? It was insane.
"Hey Rogueness? You in there?" Allana asked from the other side of the door.
"Come in." Rogue smiled.
Allana came in, shut the door and locked it behind her. "Rogue, I can't stay long, the Prof is in Cerebro for only a few minutes."
"What's going on?" Rogue was confused.
"Remember what we were talking about on Friday, before your date?"
"About my 'gift'?"
"Yeah."
"What about it?"
"Well, I've been working with this guy that may have found something. He just needs you to run a few tests with him so he can complete it."
"What? But you said..."
"I know what I said, but this guy's for real, Rogue. Would I lie?"
"Um..."
"Okay, you're right, but not about this."
"What does the Professor say about this?"
"He doesn't."
"But..."
"Keep it to yourself, please. Until I'm sure."
"Okay."
"Promise me."
"Ah Promise."
"Good, I'm gone." With that Allana unlocked the door and left. Rogue was alone with her thoughts once more. She wanted to tell somebody, no, she had promised. She needed to call Risty about what had been going on lately anyway. Rogue just hoped she was home. She got the answering machine.
"Hey, I'm not it, leave me a message." Said Risty's British voice.
"Hey, Rist. It's me. We gotta talk... Hope you're in school tomorrow." Rogue drawled.
Mystique rolled her eyes; Rogue needed her for whatever reason. She would have to play Risty for a few days or people would start getting suspicious. Especially since she still had more work to do. Why did she ever want to do this?
Rogue hung up the phone disappointed. She missed talking to Risty. She then got called to dinner shortly after. Allana was mysteriously absent. Nobody seemed to know where she was, not ever Jasper or the Professor.
"Allana must have her reasons for missing dinner, Rogue. Why are you so concerned?" The Professor asked.
"Ah just wanted to make sure she was okay." Rogue lied hoping it would fool the Professor. It did, and it launched a conversation of theories behind Allana's weird behavior lately. The leading cause was a secret love affair with one of the Brotherhood members. That got Rogue to thinking about Pietro again. She sighed; she guessed she had to talk to him sometime. Maybe tomorrow.
