Legend of the Rose

Chapter 7

The morning came and I found that I was ready for anything life could throw at me. Rogue must have already gotten up, as she was not in our room. Quickly I fixed up my hair and threw on a pair of tan shorts before heading downstairs. When I reached the kitchen, the x-men were all sitting around the breakfast table. Wolverine was standing in front of the stove cooking eggs.

"Hey Rose you want some." Wolverine took the cigar out of his mouth long enough to speak.

"Sure thanks Logan." I walked over to the table and took a seat.

Piotr and Kitty were sitting next to me not that they would have acknowledged anyone else but each other's eyes. Rogue was sitting to my right trying desperately not to look in Bobby's direction. I leaned in close to her ear to whisper.

"Hey girl there a particular reason why your trying to avoid Bobby." At that, she blushed.

"I have no idea what your talking about." She was lying and I knew it.

"Sure then its nothing Logan wouldn't mind hearing." She slapped my arm.

"Don't you even dare?" rogue looked at me as if she would skewer me were I sat.

"I was just kidding my goodness don't have a heart attack." I teased and started to giggle.

Rogue laughed and kept eating her eggs. Logan came over and put a plate of eggs in front of me.

"Eat up kid." Logan smiled and walked back to the stove.

"He just smiled at me." I was beside myself. "I didn't think he could."

"Girl you better not make fun of my boyfriend or I might have to hurt you." Rogue smiled and stuck out her tongue.

"Don't get me started on that subject please. I might have to bring up the whole age thing." I chuckled and started to eat my eggs.

"Oh yeah how much younger are you than Hank." She was not going to give in.

"Yeah but at least we were born in the same century." I stuck my tongue out at her before getting up to take my plate to the sink.

I left Rogue at the table and headed up to our room so I could change before my meeting with Xavier. I wanted to look professional so I put on a pair of navy slacks and a white blouse. Over that, I wore a navy blazer. I decided to wear my hair up in a ponytail and slipped on a pair of low healed navy hush puppies. Once I was ready, I headed down to the main foyer. Opening the door to Xavier's office and walked in confident with my most serious face. Xavier was seated behind his desk arms folded under his chin he looked like he was sizing me up.

"Good morning Professor Xavier. How are you today." I walked straight in and took a seat in front of his desk.

"I'm very good, thank you Professor Darkholme. I hope you found last night very restful." I winced when he said my name. Damn I cannot afford to lose it.

Do not be worried Doctor, I appreciate the effort to put yesterdays events behind you. "However it is not necessary." He simply smiled.

"That is a very odd sensation." I said with a smile.

"Yes I tend to have that effect on people." he reached for a file on his desk and began flipping through its contents. "I have you class schedule ready for the summer semester. I am afraid that with the new classes starting soon I could not afford you the luxury of setting up your own schedule."

"That's perfectly alright." I smiled as he handed me the folder in his hands.

"Now I have heard from Logan that you will make an excellent addition to his field team." He reached into his desk and produced a silver medallion in the shape of a circle surrounding an x. "this is the communicator to your uniform in the war room."

"Aren't you going to ask me if I want to be on Logan's field team?" I was not surprised just curious.

"I already know the answer to that question." He smiled and placed his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair. "Now I don't not have a problem if you and Logan continue to exercise in the danger room, but from now on make sure that you have the room reserved first."

"Thank you professor." I got up and walked out of his office. Thank god, that meeting is over. I leaned against the wall in the hallway and examined the device in my hands. It looked like there was a button built in. curious I pressed down on the communicator. Instantly glass panels set around the x symbol started to glow pale purple. I think I am going to like it around here.
