By the time Pietro arrived back at 'home', it was around three and he would be picking Rogue up around 12. He entered the metallic dome and walked into the elevator. Pietro smirked a bit when the elevator dinged and his voice came over the intercom.
"Welcome to Hell, which level of damnation will you choose today?"
HE snickered and pressed five.
"Thank you and enjoy your stay."
Pietro leaned back and whistled to the tune of the elevator - Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. He frowned a bit as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Who the HELL got rid of my evil Damien hell chorus music!"
He received no answer. This puzzled him a bit, as he walked through the other apartments of the dome.
-Dads usually down here-
"He's gone."
Pietro whirled around to see Pyro.
"What?"
"I said he's gone. He's taken Gambit with him. Also, boss told me to tell you to go ahead."
Pietro's face brightened.
"Sweet! Thanks man!"
Pyro shrugged as Pietro ran around.
"No problem. Hey, you wanna play poker?"
Pietro stopped for a second with a pile of clothes in his arms nearly tipping him over.
"Naw man. I've got some stuff to clean, well, you know."
"Yeah."
They shrugged and went in opposite directions. Pyro formed a ball and played with it.
"This is gonna be fun."

A couple of hours had passed since their meeting and Rogue seemed unusually happy. Logan frowned at her sudden change in mood. He paced about his room, grunting in the process. Storm was with him, eyeing him lazily. A soft knocked presented itself on his door and he growled a 'come in'. The person saw his state and crossed her arms while tapping her foot. A couple of seconds went by before he calmed.
"What do you want?"
"I have something important to show you."
"Not now! Tell the professor."
"Logan!"
Storm turned to the visitor.
"What is it child?"
"Well, Scott and I were checking out the new construction going on and-"
Logan growled.
"Jean, we told you that the area is off limits."
Jean stuttered.
"I know but we were just walking by and we just so happened to see Rogue there."
Logan stood alert.
"You what?"
Jean breathed a little easy.
"Yeah and she was with Pietro. I have it on tape."
She lifted it up in the air delicately and Logan snatched it from her hand, placing it in his VCR. Jean grumbled a bit.
-Well, now, you're welcome-
He pressed play and Rogue came up, sitting in the gazebo looking at pictures until she suddenly jumped. Before Logan's eyes stood Pietro on the TV screen. He clamped his mouth shut as the scene unfolded. Jean nodded her head in satisfaction, but was thrown off guard by Storm.
"You were spying on her."
Jean fumed indignantly.
"I was not!"
Storm rolled her eyes and went to the screen.
"Obviously this didn't just happen. The camera is positioned too perfect and besides, the point of view is up high, so you're looking down on them. However, let us say what you said was true. Now Jean, what were you and Scott up there doing before you chanced to see them?"
Jean turned as red as her hair. Her bottom lips quivered a bit while Storm smirked. Logan was too busy growling at the screen to care. Either way a person looked at it, Jean was caught.
"This isn't about me! It's about HER! She might leave us!"
Logan stood up.
"She's right. He said 12 so that's when we'll meet him. I'll be right outside her door. He is NOT taking her away from here."
Storm returned her attention to him.
"What about the professor? Shouldn't we tell him."
Logan turned to her quickly.
"No."
She looked at him and saw that it was on more of a personal level. Against her better judgment she went along.
"Fine, Jean you are dismissed."
Jean flipped her hair and stalked out of the room. When the door was closed she grumbled unhappily as she walked down the hall.
"Like THEY haven't made out or spied on somebody before..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rogue's bags were packed and all she had to do now was wait.
It was now 11:47 and she silently tapped her fingers. She was glad that Kitty and her no longer shared a room together. She laid her bed for what might be the last time. Her mind raced with the possibilities of what her new room would look like. She paled a bit when a stray but possible thought entered her mind.
-What if we shared a room? Do I keep on my make up like usual or let him see me the way I am? -
She rolled on her stomach and creased her brow in thought. Maybe this was harder than she thought. Rogue sighed a bit as she looked over at the clock. 11:58. Her stomach knotted up.
-What about the guys-
She growled in frustration and was about to move until she was something at the base of her bedroom door.
-Logan...-
She silently panicked.
-OH MAH GOD! -
She silently paced then, opened her window to see if he had arrived.
-I'll just wait here with my stuff and jump with him so we can jet-
The time passed and by the minute her faith wavered. She checked her watch after a while. It was 1:07. Her bottom lip quivered as she dropped her bag on the terrace wrapped her arms around her. Outside her door Logan could hear and smell her disappointment and turned to leave. She looked around her room. It was bare and it was bare for nothing.
"Where are you?"
"I'm right here love."
She turned and stifled a yelp of happiness. There he was picking up her bag and placing it on his back. He reached out his arms for her and she hesitated, placing her hands on her hips.
"You jerk! What took you so long!"
His face fell and he hurriedly hushed her.
"IknewLoganwaswaitingformemorethanlikelysoIcamelatesohewouldntcatchus."
Rogue processed what he had just said and she nodded, smiling when her removed his hand from her mouth. She sheepishly smiled an apology and jumped into his awaiting arms. Pietro was about to jump down with her in his arms until the door opened.
"Look Rogue I know it hurts..."
Logan looked up to see Rogue in Pietro's arms instead of bed as expected. Pietro's craftiness confused Logan.
-He's smart. Interesting. -
He put his hand up to stop them.
"You can't leave kid. Think about who his father is!"
Rogue jumped out of his arms and angrily walked to Logan.
"Ah know who he is! He is NOT his father!"
Rogue pointed to Pietro who stood amazed that she had yelled at Logan. She cupped Logan's face in her hands.
"You know this was gonna happen sooner or later. I was bound to run, I'm just running with him."
Logan sighed. Storm had warned him from the beginning that he shouldn't get to close to Rogue. She was too much like him.
"Fine. But if I see you in combat, I'm not going easy."
She sadly smirked and joined Peitro on the terrace. She jumped in his arms and they sped off past the mansion sensors. Outside the mansion perimeter, they stopped so she could absorb his powers. Rogue looked back a bit worried. Pietro calmed her down.
"If they are really your friends, they would understand."
She frowned a bit and nodded. An idea stuck Pietro.
"After you get settled we'll have a mini party!"
Rogue smiled and agreed. She undid her glove and was about to absorb him but stopped short.
"Uh, where am ah sleeping?"
He grinned wickedly.
"I think you know where."
She blushed.
-Heh heh...-
Rogue placed her hand on his a bit and put her hands on her hips.
"Wellthenletsgetgoing!! Ahmdyingtogetsomesleep!"
They laughed a bit and hand in hand sped off. There was a light breeze
throughout Bayville that early morning. It was a breeze that remained only for a second, but the memories and feelings that it emitted would forever be there, in that moment, at that time.
