PS: I emailed the support system at Fanfiction.net and asked them if we could update the character options so Bobby could be his own option. Now let's see what they say! LOL

Chapter 13

Be careful When Playing with Fire and Ice.

            He is back.

Bobby's phrase echoed in Rogue's head. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who Bobby was talking about. John. John had come back but it definitely did not look friendly. The power inside Rogue's body flowed steadily. Just by her calculations of how long she held onto Jean, she figured she had another half an hour to toy with this awesome power before her imprinting wore off. Everything inside her burned and everything felt detached, like she was not apart of the outside world.

            Bobby's eye turned cold as he stared at the burnt grass, his breathing became erratic. Rogue could feel the tension radiating from his body. The moment she had received this energy she had become aware of everyone inside the mansion. Most of all she became aware of Bobby's bubbling energy from the room next door. Instead of being upset he was observing her, she felt delighted in an odd way. Then the fire scorched the inside of her brain the moment the fires were ignited causing her to scream for him instead of searching Storm to douse out the flames with his ice instead of her winds.

            Rogue sent out a startle screech when all of a sudden Bobby set out in a dead run into the woods.

            Logan shouted, "Where are you going?"

            Bobby didn't even turn around. "I am going to make sure that fireball never tries to come here again." His voice was filled with ice.

            Jean went to go after him but she ended up falling into Logan's arms again. "I can't feel where they are…"

            "I'll go." Logan started to say, but Rogue held her bare arm in front of his face.

            "No, I will. You take care of Jean."

            The power cruised through her veins, and before Jean and Logan could protest Rogue raised her hands above her head, and off she flew into the air.

            Jean couldn't raise her head from Logan's shoulder. "Isn't this odd?"

            Logan lifted her up and started walking into the house. "Nah, Pyro left them more than he left us.  But just to be on the safe side I will get you inside and round up the team."

            "Thanks, Logan." Her grip tightened around his shoulder. "Thanks."

            Iceman ran through the woods, and did not even try to calm his emotions. Frost formed around every twig he touched, and every piece of mud he stepped on. The air temperature around him dropped 5 degrees every minute. When Iceman was angry, Iceman did not care about any thing. He did not have the senses of Wolverine or Professor Xavier's telepathy, but he knew where the Flame was. He walked into a clearing and screamed. "Pyro!"

            The only response was the birds screeching in pain as there blood began to freeze.

            "Pyro! I know you are here!"

            Iceman stared up in the trees and then lifted his cold hand into the air. The stream of ice flew into the air. It crashed against the branches and the tree exploded. The noise distracted him for a moment when the flame whizzed by his head.

            "Looking for me?" Pyro stepped from behind a tree and sent him a wicked smile. The atmosphere started to warm up as Pyro started flicking with his lighter, the same lighter that torched his house.

            Iceman's eyes closed in anger when Pyro released a stream of fire. Iceman's hand wrapped around his chest and defended the blow. Every ray of flame turned into ice the moment it hit Iceman's body.

            Iceman opened his arms and began crystallizing the air around him. "Prepare to freeze, Pyro!"

            "In your dreams, Icey!"

            Rogue would have stopped the fight with one hit of the orange energy but she was hit unaware in the sky. Rogue fell from the sky. She cried out in pain when a branch hit her back. She stared up into the sky, searching for what hit her when she saw the woman. Long blonde hair graced the woman's shoulders as she floated in the air. FLOATED. Even though Rogue had just been in the sky herself, she was shocked to find the woman there. The woman shifted to the ground and stared at Rogue. Instead of speaking she walked up to the teenager and tapped her. Rogue cried in pain. Her shoulder cracked under the pressure and it felt like she was just hit by a truck. The woman went to attack again but Rogue dodged away.

            She took all of Jean's energy and flew up into the air. The woman reared up after her.

            "What in the hell do you want?" Rogue screamed. The orange glow encased her body. "Who the hell are you?"

            The blond woman smiled. "Your worst nightmare." The woman went to attack again but Rogue was able to dodge. Rogue's absorption wasn't helping her in this battle and she knew that Jean's power was going to fade soon. She flew as high as she could and did the one thing she thought of. She entered the woman's mind using Jean's telepathy.

            The thoughts of Carol Danvers flew into Rogue's inexperienced brain. Her works for the government, her DNA mutation with Marvel's, and finally how Magneto seduced her to his terrorist group, were processed into flashes of memories. The mission of attacking Xavier's school on the other hand was not planned by the metal wielder. John wanted some revenge on the team and brought Ms. Marvel to keep everyone else distracted as he dueled with Bobby.

            Rogue's head began to throb as she exited the warriors mind. Ms. Marvel's eyes darkened as the pressure inside her mind decreased. She continued her attack on Rogue. The punches were averted but the chase was wearing Rogue out. The last of the Phoenix was draining from Rogue's body and the ability to fly left her. She dropped to the ground and knew if someone did not come soon; it would be the end of her.

            Ms. Marvel stood above her fallen prey under the shelter of the trees. No one was close enough to the dueling pair to save this fallen girl.

She went to strike the girl when Rogue noticed the woman's bare ankles. Ms. Marvel's fist entered the ground where Rogue's head formally rested while Rogue ducked down and did the only thing she knew she could do. She grabbed on to the bare skin and held on for dear life.

Iceman threw a spear of ice at his foe. Pyro laughed at the attack as his fire melted the spear. "Getting rusty since I saw you last, Iceman." Pyro said mockingly.

Iceman's anger consumed his body as he sent out more and more spears towards Pyro. "At least I am not the coward that left to go play bad guy!"

"Magneto knows a lot more than Xavier will ever know. Who cares about humans? They just want to see us tied up as animals. Since when does my being able to wield fire make me have to save them when they are trying to kill us?" Pyro said bitterly.

"You could never understand responsibly, could you Pyro?" Iceman sneered. "With great power comes great responsibility, you most accept it or you will become a criminal." His sneer increased. "That is if you aren't one already."

Pyro sent out a wave of fire. "You may be considered a good guy now Icey. But girls don't want the good guy. Think of Jean. She says she loves Cyclops but the bad boy Logan turns her on beyond belief. A girl like Rogue can't be much different. I'll play the Wolverine to your Cyclops." He sent out another fire wave, a grin was plastered on his face as he saw Iceman turn livid.

The air around them entered the negatives as Iceman's temper flared. He went to send out a brutal attack aimed to kill.

Bobby STOP!  The professor screamed in his brain.

At once Bobby emerged from his anger induced state and started to control himself. Instead of being centered in his anger, detached from the world, he realized what he was doing. He was doing the things he was warning John against. The air began to warm and birds could be heard again.

"You are always welcome back, John. It is not too late." Bobby said.

John laughed. "I see the big bad Professor has gotten to you. I prefer Magneto's honesty to the Professor's lies. Be prepared Bobby. The war is beginning."

Before Bobby could answer a shock wave crashed through the forest and an explosion set off. Bobby looked over to John expectantly but John looked as shocked.

"Carol." John muttered and both men ran towards the explosion.

            Bobby was terrified as he ran beside his old friend. Only one thought rattled through his head. Rogue. He left his girlfriend when she possessed so much energy and it did not come to mind why the other X-Men had not come after him to investigate.

            "Who the hell did you bring with you, John?" Bobby yelled as they ran.

            John ignored him as they entered the scene.

            Bobby gasped as he saw his girlfriend lying on the ground with her arms sprawled. He didn't notice John running to the blonde haired girl and running off with her in his arms. Bobby shook Rogue by her shoulders and started screaming at her with tears in his voice. "Marie! Marie… can you hear me?" He clutched her to his body and started to pray. He felt for her breath and felt relieved that she was breathing. "Marie, you can't leave me. I will get you help." He slung her in his arms and started walking back to the mansion.

            "Bobby" She said weakly into his arm. "I love you."

AN/ Hehe. Long chapter…well longer than usual. Before anyone bashes me about my bad usage of Ms. Marvel let me explain. I know she is a good guy but I was sick of Rogue being considered a weakling. So I needed to have the reason she had her strong powers hence bringing in Ms. Marvel *The comic book source of Rogue's powers.* So please don't email me that I wrote her wrong because I am aware of that. She may become an important character of this story. Or maybe she won't! I am not going to make the Carol persona make Rogue insane because that would just not be fun…lol! Isn't that the perk of writing fiction? Now that I rambled on…please review! Thanks to all the past reviews I received… I am completely grateful and please contact me online for comments or questions. I love talking to fellow X Men fanatics!

Love to all reviewers

PS: I researched all the Ms. Marvel stuff off the internet. I personally have not read the comic books and would not have a clue if anything is true.

PPS: I found the first X Men movie book and fell in love. I am going to insert the information I learned about Rogue's past soon!

PPPS: "With great power…." Can you say Spiderman?

HIT THE PURPLE BUTTON!
