He was outside the Professor's office, listening in, he knew he shouldn't,
but he wanted to hear Allana's lie, wanted her to get caught, and possibly
get thrown out of the institute. She doesn't belong here anyway, she seems
better suited for the Brotherhood, he thought. He had let himself grown
fond of her, through their antics and fights. Now she had reached the
limit and was about to suffer the consequences she had been avoiding since
the start. He had put up with her, even became almost friendly with her,
but she crossed the line when she attacked Rogue. "I-I..." Allana
stuttered, oh, she knew she was in deep. He narrowed his eyes and almost
smirked, Allana never stuttered. Hurry up already!
"I can't tell you, Professor." Allana finished lamely. Scott sighed, he grew more annoyed by the second with this.
"Allana, I have given you the benefit of the doubt on more than one occasion, with going off, never minding the rules, and coming back and causing trouble. I need an explanation." The Professor was saying.
"You have not ever given me the benefit of the doubt, you always take his side over mine." By his she must be referring to me, Scott thought.
"That has nothing to do with this, tell me where you've been."
"You wouldn't believe me anyway."
"If that's the way you feel. You're to be grounded until you tell me where you've been."
"Grounded? I can't be grounded, Professor."
"And make sure you check in with Logan when he gets back to test some of the newer level of the Danger Room."
"What?"
"You are dismissed." Scott darted out of the way of the flying door as Allana flung it open to storm out. It was one thing to have Allana annoyed, it was an entirely different thing to see her mad. She slammed it behind her and punched the wall opposite from the door leaving a rather deep hole.
"Damn it," she spat out. She turned to him realizing he was watching her, "damn it." she repeated.
"Can't say I'm sorry," He crossed his arms.
"You wouldn't be, I hope what ever she said to you at least the truth." She snarled sarcastically.
"She?"
"Yeah, she, as in Mystique, or are you too stupid to have figured that out already?"
"Don't make excuses. I was fine with you going off whenever you wanted, it was cool you picked on me even, in fact I was okay with you stealing my car. But it is unacceptable what you did tonight."
"I'm so glad I have your approval, Pretty Boy. I really don't care if you believe me, I know what I know, and what I know is that Mystique is back."
"What would she gain by being you?"
"Hell if I know, but what do you care, you don't believe me anyway, right?"
"You're right I don't."
"Where's she at?"
"Rogue? In her room." Allana started off in the direction of the girls dorms. "Where are you going? Haven't you caused enough trouble as it is?" He followed her.
"I think I've had this conversation before with her, in fact it was Friday, and as I remember it, you were wrong."
"How was I supposed to know what was going on."
"Don't make assumptions about people. Especially when you don't the facts."
"What are the facts this time, huh? I'm listening."
"I'm doing something for Rogue, that may or may not involve you, that's Rogue's choice, but in the mean time, I do need her talking to me for it to work."
"What are you talking about?"
"Never mind now, you're no help."
They reached Rogue's door, Allana knocked on it.
"Ah know it's you Allana, go away." She called through the door.
"Rogue, this is important." Rogue opened the door. "Thank you."
"Fuck off." Rogue growled before slamming the door again. Allana turned to Scott.
"Not very productive." He smirked.
She flicked him off before going down the hall to her own room.

Lalala... not a really productive chapter either... we still don't know exactly what happened. So anyway... I've noticed a lack of reviews lately... hmmm... can that be because my loyal readers have stopped coming? Oh well, later!
