Chapter 8- Absorption of New Powers
The woman was tall with shoulder length blonde hair. Her figure was covered with a black leotard with a lightning bolt on the front. She wore black knee high boots and elbow length gloves. A mask covered her eyes adding a sense of mystery.
"Carol!" Jean sighed relieved.
"Have you found her?" she sapped and placed a hand on her hip. "The Professor wants you back at the mansion."
"We found her," Logan growled. "But we don't know if she's coming back with us yet. We haven't asked her."
Rogue stood and stared at with wide eyes as the conversation went on. Remy stood without showing any emotion on his face. He silently shook his head and sighed.
"Remy apologizes for his friends' lack of manners chere."
"It's alright," Rogue shrugged. "Ah just wish they wouldn't talk about me like ah'm not here."
Remy chuckled and laid a hand on her shoulder. He then went and stood next to Logan and just listened to the insults flying between Logan and Carol.
"…she's coming with us you animal!"
"She has a choice you stupid cow!"
"I wasn't born a cow; men like you made me that way! The Professor wants her at the mansion so she'll go."
Remy sighed and put a hand to his forehead.
"Remy thinks Logan is right."
"What would you know thief?" Carol yelled.
"Lets ask her shall we?" he shrugged.
Everyone all turned to Rogue who had a major ticked off look on her face and her arms were folded across her chest.
"Ah'm going nowhere until someone tells me what the hell's going on!"
"We don't have time for this!"
Logan growled and his claws came out. He pointed them at Carol and she instantly shut up. Everyone glanced at each other, worried about what might happen. The last time the two of them had fought, they had nearly destroyed the entire mansion. It was never a pretty sight.
"I'm warning you now," he whispered. "Shut the hell up."
Carol went red in the face. She punched Logan and he went flying across to the other side of the room knocking Scott over in the process. She quickly flew over to Rogue and tried to grab her. Rogue stepped back and as Carol grabbed her arm, Rogue tried to throw her but failed. Rogue was thrown across the room, holding Carol's glove.
Carol walked over to her and grabbed Rogue's coat and yanked her up. Rogue slipped out of the coat and went to run but Carol grabbed her bare arm. Suddenly a scream burst forth from Carol and Rogue's eyes widened. Rogue tried to struggle but Carol held her in a death grip. Then the screams stopped.
