Untouchable
AN/ Mr. Green steps up to the computer again. He plays with his polka dot tie as he searches for the words to express his joy. He begins, "That you all for the many reviews you have bestowed to my mistress Bry. Her mood is delightful every time her msn mentions she has an update. I would ask you to keep up the AWESOME job. Also, regarding my fan mail, I love you all!" He winks at reviewers Rory, jaguarchick586, Rogue15, and Dee. "Anyway who thinks Bry is pure evil for leaving you like that? Huh? They kiss and all of a sudden Bobby Boy is down! Darn, I almost would have killed her myself. That is why I have her updating this story instead of the others since I am going crazy in anticipation! Please keep on reviewing and I will make sure she keeps on writing."

Rogue's Journey
Chapter 21
Out of It
Rogue examined Bobby's bedroom door. It was identical to the rest of the oak doors in the mansion. It was stained a dark color and was made of solid wood, but this one door seemed to be more than that. Even though she could knock down the door with one flick of her finger, it loomed over her like the largest mountain. She forced herself to breath. It was only Bobby behind the door. Yes, Bobby. The boy she loved, the boy who cared for her, and the boy she threw across the room without a thought.
She glanced down at her gloved hands. Now she didn't only have to worry about killing people with one touch, but now she had to always be in control of her enormous strength. After hearing the professor claim that she was one of the most powerful mutants in the world, she locked herself away from the world, trying to figure out how she felt about this responsibility. She wanted to shout out that she didn't ask for it, that she didn't need it or want it. But after Rogue got past all those feelings, she began to understand why the professor had built this school. Without someone saying that these emotions were ok, that she wasn't a freak just because her body mutated, she didn't know what she would do.
But now that she stared at that oak door, she felt all her newfound confidence waver. Rogue knew that she loved Bobby, but she didn't know how he felt about her. Being with her was a health risk. Any normal sane guy would go find a normal door. But instead of running away and letting him come tell her it was over, Rogue decided that she would live by her name and not follow anyone else's rules but her own.
She tapped on the door with as much control as she could but cringed as the door squeaked from the pressure. She swallowed as she fought for the words to say. "Bobby? It's me, Rogue. I wanted to talk."
She gnawed at her lip waiting for a response. The silence seemed deafening. "I know I hurt you, Bobby, but I don't want us to end like this." Rogue paused as she waited for an answer. "It's ok if you don't want to talk but just listen to me ok? I know after the incident with Ms. Marvel I have become more of a freak case. I know you wanted to take care of me, and help me heal, but I didn't tell you that she was in my mind every moment. She was taunting me, Bobby. Telling me that I would fail, telling me that I was going to die, and telling me that I was a thief. She played on all my self doubts, Bobby." Emotion caused her southern accent to thicken. "She made me believe that I deserved no one or nothing. After I hurt you I realized that maybe she was right. Maybe all I could do was hurt the ones I love. So maybe there shouldn't be an us. I don't think there should be an us…" She started to walk away but all her doubts left her. She turned around and pounded on the door, ignoring the protest of the wood.
"Damn it, Bobby! I love you and you have to talk to me. Don't turn me away. I can't bear it if you turn me away." The door crashed down under her fists. She stumbled in over the splinters. She looked around the room and started to laugh. Bobby wasn't even in the room. She sat down on his bed and curled into his bedspread. His cologne drifted in the room. She would wait here for him.
Rogue laid her head on his pillow and drifted off to sleep.
Bobby groaned as the drugs receded into his system. He opened his eyes and fought to focus. He felt cold. Not the usual coldness that lived in his bobby, but chilled from the outside. It was a strange sensation. Almost like before he was a mutant. His eyes finally focused on the wall. He was staring at an enormous stone wall that dripped with moisture. Bobby urged the water to crystallize but was amazed when it continued to stream naturally.
His memory was cloudy. All he could remember was Marie. But it wasn't Marie. The forest incident played in the back of his head, but nothing made sense to him. Where was he? He tried to get off the cold floor but realized that he was bound. He struggled against the metal restraints with no avail. He was trapped.
He wiggled one more time when he heard the boots approach him. He cringed when he saw the face. It had only been a month since he saw it last. Magneto.
Later Bobby would swear that it was the drugs that made him pass out, not the mere presence of Erik Lennsherr.
AN/ Sorry it took so long to update. My computer died for a week. Tear. Oh well…when will they notice that Bobby is missing? Why isn't Bobby able to freeze things? What the heck is happening? Review and find out! If I get a lot soon, I will update tomorrow…hehe!
I love all my reviewers,
Bry
