Chapter Twenty-three
Remy had fallen asleep in the jet just about twenty minutes before they reached the x-mansion. Rogue was the only one that seemed to notice. Greg and Ben were too busy talking to each other to even notice what was happening around them. Rogue looked at Storm to see that she was looking at her.
"What?" Rogue asked," Are my eyes stil red?"
"It's nothing," Storm said, looking away, then smiled." Your eyes are stil red."
Rogue looked over at Jean, who gave a small smile, but had to look at Greg and Ben, who were now fighting over who was going to be the best fighter.
"Will you two please stop it?" Jean asked.
"I'll stop if you go out with me," Greg said, running a hand through his hair, which only caused Jean to roll her eyes.
"Sorry sport," Scott said," But she is my girlfriend, but there are so many other girls at the school. We are landing right now."
Greg and Ben quickly looked out the small window on their side to see that they were facing a forest of some sort. Many kids were running around outside. One was making ice hills for younger kids to slide down. Ben was too busy staring at one boy who was making fire shapes.
"Is that the boy who can multiple fire?" Ben asked.
"Yes," Rogue said, looking out the small window as well just before they couldn't see them anymore." His name is John, but he likes to be called Pyro."
Scott landed the jet just like he always did, which was just alittle bumpy.
"Sorry about that," Scott said, looking over to see that Greg had fallen down.
"I can land better then that," Greg muttered.
"I'd like to see you try," Scott whispered, standing up.
Rogue looked at Greg, then at Scott and knew that they were not going to get along at all. She walked back to Remy and looked down at him and noticed the book on his lap. She picked it up and noticed it was her book. She looked at Remy, then at the book.
"You better not of read too much of this," Rogue muttered, putting the book in her pocket.
"Is he sleeping?" Ben asked, walking over to them.
"Ya," Rogue said," What should we do?"
Ben gave a small grin and said," Back up alittle."
Rogue did what she was told and watched with great interest. Ben made a small fire ball and put it in Remys right hand, then he quickly backed up to where Rogue was. Remy quickly opened his eyes and shook the fire out of his hand. He looked at Ben as a red mark formed in the middle of his hand.
"You will pay for dat," Remy said, standing up.
"So," Rogue said, folding her arms." Why were you reading my book?"
"Greg was reading it," Remy quickly said," I just took it away from him."
"Sure," Rogue said, not sounding at all convinced.
"Come on you three," They heard Scott yell.
The three quickly got out of the x-jet and followed the others upstairs. They passed by some people, who couldn't help but talk to Rogue. They all said the same thing, how are you, where have you been, good to see you back, come talk to me later, etc... Remy would look at all her friends then at Ben and Greg, who couldn't help but flirt with nearly every girl they saw. One girl, who they found out was named Kitty, had slaped Ben acrossed the face when he said that they would make a perfect couple.
"You deserve it," Rogue said, as Kitty walked back to her room." She has a boyfriend."
"Whoever it is," Ben said, rubbing his check, which was now red," Is a very lucky man."
"Are you guys trying to get yourselves hurt?" Remy asked.
"No," Ben said, as they continued down the hall." Just seeing who is available and who is not."
"She is not," Rogue said, as Ben went to talk to another girl, who had blue skin.
"Not even the ones with different skin are available," Greg muttered, but was hit over the head with something.
Greg turned around rubbing his head to see that the girl with blue skin was looking at him, with a not so nice look on her face.
"Sorry," Rogue quickly said, before Greg could say anything." I'll teach him to keep his mouth shut."
Rogue pushed Greg to move on, so he did, not looking back at her.
"Who was dat?" Remy asked.
"That was Kat," Rogue said," Not such a friendly person. She is not on our team, but must be here to talk to the Professor or someone."
"She is not on your team, but is around nearly everyone," Ben said," How the heck can that be?"
"She used to be one of us," Rogue said," I wasn't here when it happened, but Bobby told me what had happened. I'll tell you later."
They stopped at a door and Rogue turned to the three boys, who were now looking at her.
"What is it?" Remy asked.
"This is Charles office," Rogue said," We will need to talk to him."
Rogue turned to the door and knocked, but there was no answer. Scott came out of the room next to the office, which was the living room.
"He is out right now," Scott said," But you can come and watch a movie with us."
"Dat sounds like a good idea," Remy said, heading into the living room followed by the others.
Greg and Ben went over to get to meet the other people, while Rogue and Remy sat down on an empty couch to watch the movie, which they had no idea what it was. Scott told them that Charles would be back there in about an hour, so they just had to wait.
