Chapter 13- Making Him Eat His Words
Rogue shot upwards just in time to avoid a burst of fire. She looked down and saw Pyro grinning maniacally. A fire ball appeared in his hand and he passed it between his hands, waiting for Rogue to make her move.
Rogue hovered silently for a few seconds to consider her options. She quickly dove straight down towards the fire manipulator. Pyro threw handfuls of fire at her to try and slow Rogue down but Rogue dodged them all. She grabbed his shoulders and hauled him in to the air. She span him around and eventually released him. Pyro went crashing in to Sabretooth.
"Rogue!"
Rogue span around to see Storm flying towards her. Suddenly a massive boulder was thrown at Storm. Rogue flew towards it as fast as she could. She hovered in front of Storm and waited for the boulder to come within arms length. When it did, she hit it with all her might. It crumbled in to pieces which rained on to the battlefield.
"Rogue are you ok?"
"Ah'm fine."
"What are you doing here?" Storm asked.
"Ah couldn't sit around and do nothin'."
The tow split apart to avoid more boulders that were being thrown at them. Rogue flew over the mansion grounds looking for anyone that might need help. She saw Bobby being surrounded by a group of mutants that were attacking him. Rogue dove down in front of Bobby. The other mutants gave each other glances.
"Isn't that the girl he wants?"
"I'm not chancing it! She's got Ms. Marvel's powers, I'm out of here!" he said running. The rest of them took one look at Rogue then followed.
Rogue went to fly of but was stopped by Bobby yelling at her.
"You can't just leave me here! What if they come back!"
"And why should ah help you? You told the Professor lies and ah know you agree ah don't belong here. So give me one good reason to help you."
Bobby opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He stood there for a few moments trying to form words.
"Ah thought so."
"Wait I'll tell the Professor the truth."
"Fine," Rogue narrowed her eyes. "Just remember who helped you."
Rogue grabbed his arms and flew back towards the mansion. Bobby had his eyes shut and was whimpering about how he hated heights. He asked Rogue to put him down. A smirk crossed Rogue's face as an idea came to her mind. Rogue flew over to the mansion and dropped Bobby on to the roof.
"You never said where ah had to put you. It seems ma was right. Revenge is so sweet," she chuckled.
