Chapter 12
Fire
Bobby smiled as he spoke with Peter Rasputin. The native Russian boy was telling Bobby the tale of the poor Princess Anastasia. The topic came up when Dr. Grey mention the Czar Nicholas's terrible fate in class. They were walking down the mahogany paneled walls of the school after the last class of the day.
"So you have the same last name of the evil advisor." Bobby said.
Peter nodded his head. "Rasputin did many odd things in that time of Russia. Some even say he made pacts with the devil. Interesting, yes?"
"Maybe he would be considered an idol to Stryker!" Bobby chuckled good-naturedly. They approached a wall. Bobby's fingers itched to pull at the wood panel and go down into the X-Men world, though technically just being a student; he wasn't really supposed to know how to get there. Bobby coughed into his hand, and sent Peter a guilty look. "I better go upstairs to study for the test tomorrow. Thanks for the Information." Bobby started to walk toward the stairway and waved Peter off. The moment the boy turned the corner, Bobby backtracked and pressed the concealed button. The panel swished open and Bobby crouched inside.
He almost ran down the creaky old steps and the adrenaline started to pump in his veins. He didn't know why he had to be down there, but he knew he had to be. The steps protested under his weight, and Bobby stopped at the entrance to the underground tunnels. He fit his hand over the latch and the metal X doors opened with a swoosh. Bright lights surrounded the teenager and Bobby smiled. This is where he belonged. He walked down the tiled hallway and peeked inside the doors. No one was down there and Bobby felt like he was in heaven. He stood in front of the glass cases holding all the dark leather suits, when he felt a strong hand pull on his shoulder.
Bobby turned around with lightning speed, his hand outstretched and ice shot off in a stream. The metal claws of Wolverine crystallized for a moment, and then turned back to its shinny grey.
"Admiring the view?" Logan leered.
Bobby felt like his chest was inflames. "Is this what a heart attack feels like?" He muttered as he placed his shacking hand on his chest.
Logan laughed. "What are you doing down here? Don't you have a class to be in?"
Bobby shook his head. "Classes are done for the day, and I thought I would come down and see… uh… and see what was happening."
Shaking his head, Logan retracted his claws. "You just wanted to see Rogue, right?"
Bobby looked confused. "Rogue is down here? Why?"
"I thought you would know. She and Jean went into one of the medical rooms and shut the door about half an hour ago."
Bobby started to look concerned. "What are they doing?"
Logan shrugged. "I don't have a clue. Want to go find out."
For the first time Bobby smiled at the man. "You just want to look at Dr. Grey."
Logan started to walk down the hallway and approached one of the doors. "Do you want to see your precious Rogue or not?"
Bobby didn't have to think twice and chased after Wolverine. The two men slipped inside the door and stood in front of a bullet proof glass window. Sitting in the middle of the huge conference table on the other side of the glass were Jean and Rogue. Logan lifted a finger to his lips and flipped a switch. The conversation from the other room radiated from the speakers.
"I want you to touch my arm, Rogue." Jean said in an almost whisper.
Rogue looked startled. "Are you sure?"
Jean nodded. "I don't know consciously how I control my power, but if you absorb it and toy with it; maybe you will figure out how it works with your own."
Rogue's face paled. "Do you really think this will work?"
Jean shook her head. "I am not sure, but I think it is worth a shot. Don't you want to be free?"
Shaking Rogue removed her glove. "More than anything. I am sick of not being able to act like a normal teenager. I am sick of not being able to feel." Her skin began to flush. "And I am sick of not being able to touch my own boyfriend. To feel his skin…" She was beat red even though her voice was steady, "To feel his lips. Dr. Grey, I would try anything to touch his lips."
On that remark Bobby felt his skin heat too. Logan gave him a look and Bobby turned his attention away from the lewd thoughts floating in his head and watched the scene.
Jean placed her hand in Rogue's. Both their eyes rolled back as the veins around their necks began to swell. Rogue tried to let go but Jean would not let her. "Hold on, Rogue, hold on."
Rogue's skin began to turn orange and at last they let go of each other. Jean gasped in air and Rogue looked positively glowing. Her green eyes turned amber. "I don't know how you handle it, Jean. It is amazing." Rogue fought to handle the power. Her eyes snapped with energy and she turned and looked at the mirrored wall. "Bobby, Run! There is a fire in the south lawn. You have to stop it." The two peeping Toms looked shocked for a moment, but ran out of the room with Rogue and Jean chasing after them.
They took a quick exit to the lawn and 6 foot fires danced over the grass. Bobby used all the power within him and caused the controlled fires to seize.
Sitting in the middle of the lawn was the X symbol burned in the grass with a lightning bolt crossing it out.
Bobby gasped. "He is back."
