*Does a Butt-dance*
Thanks all!! ^-^!!
This is a long one because it's a shocker.... I hope;)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The trio walked up to the platform for the regulars. Boom-Boom guided the two to a booth in the corner. They chatted and commented on the events of the night with glee. Rogue turned around slightly and saw an extremely pissed Pietro. She laughed and ordered a drink. Kitty had followed her eyesight path and snorted.
"Oh come on Rogue. Don't tell me you're like, feeling sorry for him!"
Rogue turned around and smiled at Kitty.
"Hell naw gurl. I'm just surveying the damage."
Boom-Boom shot back a drink and wiped her mouth.
"Yeah girl, you got 'em good. We gotta do this more often."
The two X-men smiled. Rogue returned her attention to Pietro, who was talking to the Brotherhood. Kitty and Tabitha continued to talk.
"Yeah like, the Brotherhood was watching too! That was SO funny! Lance was laughing the whole time!"
"Ha! He deserved it. That'll teach the guy. But you know we're not finished. Right Rogue?"
Rogue turned smirked and put on a sweet face.
"Of course we're not finished!"
The girls laughed as Alice DeeJays 'Better Off Alone' played. The club filled with a slew of pinkish hues and tints. The beat seemed to shake the tables because of the heavy bass. Rogue closed her eyes, relaxing, feeling better than she had for days now. Everything was at ease. But then it hit her. Pain, confusion, anger.... ISOLATION. Her breaths diminished with each breath she took until she got to the point where she couldn't breathe. It was HIM. She could feel him.... MAGNETO. The images from her dream filled her head, even when she opened her eyes and stared in Pietro's direction, she could still see her dream. It was like a glazed image over his. Their eyes met and they stayed there. There was no emotion in his eyes, just ice, and then they glowed an eerie icy metallic blue. Rogue could feel herself slipping out of her body. She tried to move, but she remained stiff, unmoving, like some sort of goo was holding her together.
"Ahhhhh!!! STOP IT DAMN YOU!!!!!"
She screamed out but her mouth didn't move, no sound came from her throat. She felt as if she were dying, perhaps she was, whatever it was, it hurt like hell, but....
"Hey Rogue, he's not going to believe you are serious if you sit there staring at him longingly."
The two talking girls turned to their friend. She seemed pre-occupied with something. Or someone. Tabitha rolled her eyes.
"I mean, you're staring at the guy as if you weren't mad, I mean, your eyes were locked with his for about two minutes!"
...Rogue snapped out of it. Her breath was in her lungs as if it had never left. She looked at Boom-boom.
"What?"
Tabitha rolled her eyes and placed one foot on the opposite chair. She saw the slightly confused Rogue put her hands up in frustration. Kitty giggled and ordered another drink.
"Its okay, she's in LOVE let her be!"
She looked at the two X-men and she shook her head.
"Oh come on man! Get off of it! He's trash and he deserved it! It's not going to be any fun if you feel sorry for 'em!"
Rogue didn't answer and Tabitha shook her head and sat back. Kitty had received her drink that she ordered and was sipping on it, listening to Tabitha yell at Rogue. Rogue seemed distant so Boom-Boom gave up.
"Well, can't say or do much about the way ya feel."
At the moment Rogue's eyes narrowed, her eyebrows knitting together. Kitty looked up.
"Like, what's the matter Rogue?"
Rogue stood up and moved down the stairs. She called back to Kitty from over her shoulder.
"Look's like the Brotherhood wasn't the only ones watching us."
Kitty's eyes bulged out of her sockets. A childish frown appeared on her face.
"Spyke is SO like, dead when I get him..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The redhead fell over laughing at the scene she was watching. It was hilarious! Her overly bitchy teammate was seducing the enemy! She sat back from her position and put her hand to her forehead.
"And I thought I've seen EVERYTHING! This is perfect, do you have it on tape?"
Jean turned to a purple Evan. He was holding in his laughter throughout the whole thing. He clicked the off button and let out the laugh that he was holding in the whole time.
"Oh hell yeah I got it! The gang is gonna love this! Aint that right Scott?"
Spyke looked back at Scott who was sitting Indian-style. He was munching on a Twinkie in the corner while everything happened. He swallowed the rest of it and moved over to Jean.
"Yeah I saw it, I saw it all. And I must admit it WAS interesting, but I'm concerned about how we're getting back to the institute."
Spyke and Jean both rolled their eyes. The bad thing was he was right. They had taken the bus there and they didn't have enough money to get back home. The trio knew that if they went to ask Rogue for a ride they would get an earful AND a beating. Jean sighed.
"He's right, we have no choice."
Spyke sighed and dropped the tape in his boxers. There was no way she was getting that tape unless she stripped him herself. Spyke placed the recorder in his backpack.
"Yeah, lets go. Lets get this is over with now while I'm willing and ready to die."
The two redheads chuckled and moved to the place were Kitty was, but Jean stopped. A strong wave of emotion overcame her and she stepped back confused. Scott caught her.
"What's wrong? A headache?"
Jean shook her head and immediately her eyes darted around the room.
"We have to find Rogue, there's something wrong with her. Don't ask. All I know is that she is letting off a strong distressed and confused mental signal. We have to go NOW!"
The two young men nodded. Jean steadied herself and ran off to get Kitty and Tabitha.
-Hold on-
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rogue pushed her way through the crowd.
-Pietro...-
She pushed the thought out of her head and made her way through the crowd, making sure no-one came in contact with her face. She felt a light force leading her, drawing her to a dark, secluded area. The thing was, it was really something pulling her. Rogue wondered what was going on and then it hit her. She checked her body and found that she was wearing metal bangles, a metal necklace, a metal anklet and a metal belt. Rogue soon met a door. It opened and she was pulled in.
-Oh mah God...-
Rogue found herself in the room, the force no longer pulling at her. The door slammed behind her and she pushed it out of her mind, knowing it was locked. She knew all the horror movie cliché's. Never check the door, its a waste of time, you wait too long, your ass is grass. Rogue moved to the middle and waited. She pulled off her gloves a waited. Soft footsteps resounded in the room as he turned herself in its direction. All of a sudden, they stopped.
-Shit-
A whisper bounced off the walls and hit her from all directions.
"So, you can feel me."
Rogue narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists.
"Yeah, Ah can feel ya. Whadduya want Eric?"
Rogue spat out his name as if were a foul tasting thing in her mouth. His 'hn' hit her from everywhere. He chuckled at her bold facade.
"You are strong child, but are you strong enough?"
Rogue turned in the direction of the door; she had finally pinpointed his location. She put her hands on her hips.
"Strong enough fer what?"
Magneto smiled.
"For the new challenge."
Rogue snorted.
"I can take anything and everything you dish out."
He could see the fire in her eyes. Even though she couldn't SEE him, she could feel that their eyes were connected.
"Really? You can handle me yet you can't handle the game Pietro played on you?"
Rogue took her hands off her hips and clenched them into fists. Magneto laughed triumphantly, making Rogue turn her back on him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did that hurt too?"
Rogue put on her 'fuck off' face and turned to face Eric.
"Go to Hell old man."
"Hmmm, I see.... you are a fighter."
Eric crossed his arms and advanced towards her, circling around her. His eyes made her insides feel like jelly. She felt like screaming and crying, but she kept silent, strong and cold.
"You know Rogue, that no-one cares for you like the Brotherhood. The X-men only have you there to be their servant. Once they're done, they will throw you away. No second thought of it. You are NOTHING."
Eric stopped behind her and she turned back to the blocked doorway. Rogue looked down at her feet. Magneto saw that she was thinking, meaning his plan was working. But, it wasn't. In a split second Magneto found himself thrown back by an energy sucking punch. He staggered a little and raised himself up higher than Rogue. He looked down at her. Rogue smirked.
"Oh please. Ah KNOW ahm nothin. Ah've known it all mah life."
Rogue stanced herself, ready to fight.
"But that doesn't mean ah don't have a reason to fight for mah life."
Magneto froze at her honesty. Rogue's eyes were animal like. She growled a little at Eric. Her body was tense, waiting for his next move. Magneto laughed.
"Oh, I see."
A metallic tranquilizer dart stuck itself in her neck.
-That Mutha..-
Rogue's body grew limp and she slumped to the floor. With a wave of his hand, her body lifted off the ground and floated. He stood close and whispered in her ear.
"Maybe you are worthy..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Rogue? ROGUE!!!"
Rogue opened her eyes and blinked slowly. She was in the backseat of Scott's car. She massaged her neck. After a few seconds she regained her senses and shot up.
"What are y'all doin here?"
Rogue's eyes narrowed and she looked evilly at the trio. Jean rolled her eyes and stepped forward.
"I felt a strong mental pulse from you while were riding around in the jeep."
Jean stared Rogue straight in the eyes.
-Really, and the jeep is where?-
She really didn't care; she just wanted to go home. Rogue shrugged.
"Whatever. Lets go."
Everyone nodded and got in. Kitty hesitated at the door.
"Rogue, did anything like, happen to you?"
Kitty looked at Rogue with a serious face. Rogue closed her eyes, Eric's voice echoed in her head.
::Maybe you are worthy::
She opened her eyes.
"No, Ahm fine lets go."
Kitty knew that this wasn't the time to question her. They had been through enough together to know how to pick up signals. Kitty knew that sooner or later, Rogue would tell her. Yet...Rogue's eyes looked haunted almost. Kitty shivered.
"Yeah, okay. Lets ride!"
The teenagers secured their seat belts and drove off to the institute. After they drove off, Boom-Boom walked up to the club.
"Was that Rogue?"
She shrugged her shoulders and went to the door were she was greeted by the doorman.
"Wassup Larry. Hey, did the guys come by here?"
He looked at her with a weird look.
"Yeah, you should know. Didn't you see them, I mean, you were just inside a few minutes ago."
Tabitha scrunched up her face.
-No I wasn't-
Just as she was about to voice her thought the doors swung open and another her walked out. Tabitha rolled her eyes.
-Oh, yeah, I forgot-
Mystique walked past her and threw the bill into Boom-Boom hands.
"Thanks for the body."
Boom-Boom crumpled up the bill and tossed it while she headed inside.
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
Mystique smirked and headed for her motorcycle. When she got on, she pulled out a picture of Rogue and Pietro on a park bench laughing. She stared at it for some time and then she cackled.
-That's my girl-
Mystique sat back as she revved up the engine. Her mind started to drift with thoughts of the night's events, especially the Magneto part. An almost childish grin spread across her face as she stuffed the picture into a pocket.
"Well done child, well done."
She put on her helmet and sped off.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's a conspiracy I tell ya, a conspiracy!!! I think that Mystique was in on it damnitt!!! Heh heh.

Rogue turned smirked and put on a sweet face.
"Of course we're not finished!"
The girls laughed as Alice DeeJays 'Better Off Alone' played. The club filled with a slew of pinkish hues and tints. The beat seemed to shake the tables because of the heavy bass. Rogue closed her eyes, relaxing, feeling better than she had for days now. Everything was at ease. But then it hit her. Pain, confusion, anger.... ISOLATION.
