The air pulled back their hair as they sped away from the institute. She had absolutely no idea where they were going, but she didn't care. Everything that Rogue did now was fast paced. Her thoughts ran together, almost in a blur. Everything he did and said seemed like regular speech to her. She now fully understood why he was so smart. He let on to everyone that he wasnt bright, but in truth, he was very creative, sensitive, and smart. But you wouldnt catch Rogue telling him she knew that. His thoughts were so complex. They ran under the stars, circling each other in graceful manner. Their steps were in perfect rhythm with each other. Rogue didn't care if she was miles away from the institute, she just wanted to have this moment for herself, she didn't care what the other students thought, as long as she was with Pietro, the rest of the world didn't matter. Just to be with Pietro..
-Ack! What am ah thinkin?!? just to be with him? I think ah'm going crazy!-
She shook her head. Her thoughts were getting TOO jumbled. She slurred a little when Pietro asked what was going on, soon, she felt herself slowing down. His powers were leaving her.
"Pietro, slow down please."
Pietro whipped his head to the side to find that rogue wasn't there. He turned around and saw her start to fall to the ground. in a split second, he was at her side, stopping her fall. She felt light and was easy to carry, the only problem was, carry her where? Pietro looked around and found that they were in some sort of park. He ran around until he found a bench to lay her on.
"Here we go."
He laid her down on the bench and sat on the ground with her hand in his. Pietro looked at his watch. They had been running for three minutes.
-Oopps! We should be at least three towns away from Bayville by now.-
Pietro smirked. So, there he was, all alone with Rogue, in an uncharted territory, he could feel the familiar evil childish curiosity in him. He started to think of all the bad things they could do, defacing public property, stealing cars, those kind of things. Pietro let his mind run with the almost endless possibilities but stopped midway when Rogue didn't wake up. He turned and looked her over. She wasn't dead, so he thought that maybe it was his mutation of speed getting to him. He glanced at his watch. 5 minutes had passed. It didn't take THIS long to recover, Pietro jumped up and paced madly in circles.
"What? Somethin get into ya pants er Some thin'?"
Pietro whirled around to see one lazy green eye stare up at him. She smirked at him.
"Gotcha."
Pietro's face turned red with embarrassment as Rogue lifted herself up.
"DamnRoguedontdothat! Ifyouweregoneforreal,Wolverinewouldhavemyballs!"
Pietro stated his ideas about the manner very quickly. Rogue couldn't help but laugh. He looked at her and began too.
"Ah'm sorry, commere'"
Pietro sat on the bench beside her and calmed down as the familiar feeling that she was one of the Brotherhood settled in.
"So, how's my favorite Gothy, bitchy, incredibly grouchy, lov..."
Rogue rolled her eyes.
"Ahm doin fine. So, how's things at the house?"
Pietro thought for a moment.
"Meh, same old same old. Boom Boom is terrorizing the house once more, poor Toad."
Rogue chuckled.
"Yeah right, you mean poor Toad, as long as its not me."
Pietro nodded his head. She knew him too well.
"True, so, what's up with the Summers? Still getting on you nerves, or are you still swooning over him?"
This statement was met with a punch in the arm. He rubbed the pain away.
-Erg...wrong thing to say?-
Pietro looked over at a fuming Rogue.
"NO! That is over, but what about you Speedy? Get into the new girls pants yet?"
Rogue's eyes narrowed dramatically. Pietro squirmed in his place. He wasn't uncomfortable about how mad she was but what she said.
"Its not like that...Im sorry."
Rogue turned away from him to get her temper in check.
"Sure, whatever."
Pietro spun her around, slightly annoyed.
"Whatdoyoumeanwhatever! Imnotahentai! Thatsmysisterforchristsake!"
Rogue's eyes went wide in shock. The girl who had beat the hell out of them was his sister! Pietro's own eyes widened when he thought about what he had just said.
"Oh please Rogue, don't tell anyone! Im actually begging you!"
Pietro's eyes were pleading with her. She nodded her head and then thought about it. Then she came up with a solution.
"Fine, but to make it even, Ah'll tell ya Somethin that you cant tell the Brotherhood. Agreed?"
Pietro nodded his head frantically, he wanted to know her secret.
"Well, Kurt is mah brother."
If Pietro had been drinking something right then, it would have been all over Rogue.
"WHAT!?!? Noway,thatscrazy,sothatmeansMystiqueisyourmom?"
Rogue laughed inwardly at his sudden use of rapid words.
"Now we're even, k?"
Pietro calmed down and understood.
"Yeah, I feel ya, so, I was wondering how everyone was feeling after our last fight, damn sis kicked your asses."
Rogue stuck out her tongue. She looked playful on the outside, but was sad on the inside.
"Oh don't remind mae!"
Pietro teased her a little and got up and did a little victory dance. Rogue kicked him in his butt and clapped. He stopped and bowed to his audience. He thought and decided to change the subject.
"So, Boom Boom told me about your 'illegal activities' a few days ago."
Rogue slapped her forehead, acknowledging it was true. Pietro began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Why is it Boom Boom cant keep a secret?"
"Yeah, tell me about it."
Pietro barely managed to answer between his bursts of laughter. When Pietro had finished, they talked about school and their teams. Rogue asked many questions about the guys, even Wanda. Pietro was glad to relay the details to her. They sat there until curfew, laughing and talking under the stars.

*A week later*
"Ah'll be back in an hour!"
Rogue called out to Logan and the professor, who were sitting in the living room with Storm. She jumped down the stairs and barely had touched the base of the stairs before she was making her way out the door. Storm smiled and called out to her.
"Stay safe child, and try not to hurt Todd again."
Storm's advice was met with Pietro's head popping in the doorway.
"Noprob, myarchenemiesaunt!"
Storm smiled at the now empty door way.
"He's such a nice boy."
Xavier nodded his head.
"Indeed, checkmate Storm."
Logan looked at the two in disbelief.
"How can you say that? he works for Mystique! The boys bad news Charles, bad news."
Logan's somewhat, OVER protection of Rogue was showing. He waited for an answer but when he didn't receive one, he grabbed his jacket and hurried out the door. Charles and Storm kept playing.
"Do you think he will harm the boy?"
Storm moved her piece and waited for the professor's move and answer.
"Probably, but I doubt it, he would never do anything to make her hate him. I feel a connection between the two."
Storm watched him make his move.
"Between Rogue and Logan, or both?"
Xavier looked at her crease her brow in thought.
"Both."
"Oh. We'll just have to see the end result. Checkmate."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*At the park*
Logan watched the pair as they walked down the paved path. It wasn't rare for him to see them walk closely, or make personal contact. (i.e., arm over the shoulder, fluff like that.) He had been monitoring them for half and hour, making sure he wasn't caught. Finally, after a thousand good-byes, they parted ways.
-Now I can see what he's REALLY up to.-
Logan's attention was so fixed on Pietro that he didn't notice Rogue sneak up behind him.
"What are ya doin?"
Logan jumped a little. he wasnt used to getting caught at spying.
"Look, Rogue, Im looking out for you. I don't trust him. Bottom-line kid."
Rogue shook her head in annoyance.
"It hurts so much to know Im not trusted."
Rogue and Logan both jumped when they found Pietro watching them. Pietro made a step to where Rogue was standing but Wolverine blocked his path. He grabbed her hand and drug her in the direction of his motorcycle.
"We're leaving now."
Rogue stopped fighting and got on. There was no use going against him.
"See ya at school Speedy."
Logan revved up the engine and hauled ass out of there. Pietro smirked and turned to run, but collided with a solid figure. Logan wasn't the only one watching the two.
"So, this is where you go, brother."
Pietro saw her bring out her hand to pull him up. He took it and when he dusted himself off, and crossed his arms.
"You know, everything would have been ruined if she had seen you."
Wanda rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips.
"Yeah right. I think you are missing the point of you talking with her, Mystique will be displeased."
Pietro crossed his arms.
"Like I give a fuck, Mystique can blow it out her hole for all I care, Im doing this my way, not hers."
The determination on his face was deadly serious.
"Fine, I wont tell her, but you have to cease seeing her now, at least for the time being. The plan, remember?"
Pietro was sick of the 'plan'. He hated his old man for what he did to him and his sis, but he hated him more for what he made Rogue and the others go through. Thinking about this, Pietro reminded himself of why he was doing it.
"Yeah, I remember the plan. Lets go before any of the X-geeks come by."
Wanda agreed and she leapt into her brother's arms. Before they set off for the house, she asked him a heart-wrenching and relatively confusing question.
"So, are we falling in love with the Rogue?"
His gaze fell from her's and he didn't answer. She spoke again.
"So what is it with you and Rogue? What about you two?"
Pietro's cool demeanor never faltered for a second. Wanda wiggled a little in his arms.
"SO, what about you and Rogue!"
He looked up at her with stern seriousness. His eyes were cold and unfeeling. He smirked at her stupid question.
"What about us?"
Wanda smirked as the siblings sped off to their home, where they planned to get back at their useless father. She smiled at her brother, he wasn't going to let ANYONE get in his way. His face remained emotionless the whole ride.
"Thats right my brother. She means nothing."
