A/N: I'm sooo glad you like the story so far. I've been working on getting it done a.s.a.p. Hopefully I'll have another chapter up soon. So keep reading and check often for updates.
Disclaimer: I only own Tristian and the Trimutant idea. That's it. Though I wish I owned Logan (Hugh Jackman) but what girl doesn't!!!!
Still a B/R and L/J/S triangle.

Chapter 5 – Pay Back
Rogue lay on her stomach, strewn across her towel as the sun beat down on her skin, warming her. Her eyes were closed as she bathed in the light, glad to finally have the pull area to herself with just her boyfriend and other friend present and having a war in the pool. She ignored them, enjoying the warmth of the sun, glad to be able to shed off her gloves and robe and just lay in her bikini, no longer having to be too careful since no one was around.
She sighed, turning her head to the side, letting the sun hit her face as she lay there and think. About nothing really. Just little things she was grateful for. Like John coming back to the school or Jean coming back from...wherever she had been. The doctor didn't like to talk about it much and no one bothered to tell her, John, or Bobby what had happened. All they knew was that one day, two months later, they woke up and Jean was there, back in her classroom teaching. Though she swore everything was fine and she was great, Rogue could see something out of place, not bad though, just…not the same.
She couldn't be sure though and by the look of it, Jean didn't want to discuss it so she didn't push. All that mattered was that she was back at the school where she belonged and everything was right again. Well, at least for her it was. For Jean it was another story.
Rogue noticed the tension and triangle between Scott, Jean, and Logan that had been going on since she came back. When ever Logan and Scott were in the same room the air immediately became thick and hard to breathe. Anyone in the room would become uncomfortable and feel the hatred radiating off them, dampening anyone's mood. The moment Jean entered though it would start to disintegrate and one would or both would leave. She could tell there was some sort of battle going on between the two over her and she couldn't be sure who would come out on top. Why they just couldn't be happy she was back, Rogue was unsure.
Marie sighed, wondering when both the men would grow up and act their ages for a change instead of being immature three year olds.
A cold tidal wave of water caused Rogue to gasp and spring to her feet in a quick fluid motion. It felt like needles hitting her skin and made her lungs collapse, it was so cold.
She stood there, dripping wet while John and Bobby doubled over in laughter, still holding the large bucket between them. Speaking of immature three year olds, she thought, glaring at the two.
"What was that for?" she asked slowly.
"You looked a little hot," Pyro teased, finding it funny to say 'hot' since his ability was fire.
"Thought you might like to cool off," Bobby snickered for the same reason John did, running a hand through his brown hair.
"You think that was funny?" she asked them.
They laughed, nodding their heads. "We would have thrown you in, but we didn't want to risk it. So Bobby iced down a little water and we cooled you off that way."
"You two are so dead," she shook her head stepping towards them. They both ran from her, Rogue right behind them, running for all it was worth just to kill them. She reached her hand out to grab Bobby, but he turned and jumped into the pool, getting out of her reach. John followed his example. Swimming in.
They surfaced, laughing, treading in the water, knowing they were better swimmers then her and faster for that matter.
"What are you going to do now?" Bobby asked, a grin on his soft face.
Rogue growled in anger and turned her head. An idea hit her as she saw the control panels for the pool nearby. With a quick smile at the boys she went over the control box and lifted the metal lid, studying the buttons and switches until she found the one she wanted and pushed it.
Immediately she heard the swishing noise as the pool automatically began to drain itself, the two teenagers still inside. It wouldn't hurt them, she knew that, but they'd look mighty stupid in an empty pool and there was no shallow end in this one. It was going top be a long climb out from a fourteen foot deep pool
"Hey!" she heard John yell as she strolled lazily back to the now empty pool and glanced in. She laughed at the sight of John and Bobby stuck standing in there, dripping wet like beached fish.
"Ha, ha, Rogue! Good one!" John yelled. "Now get us a ladder and let us out."
"Hmmm," she put a finger to her lips, thinking about it. "Ummmm, no."
"Oh come on Marie," Bobby begged, her boyfriend trying to give her those sad blue puppy eyes. But they weren't going to work this time.
"Maybe you'll think twice about dumping water on me while I'm sun bathin' next time."
"Rogue, please," John begged after trying to reach the ledge but finding himself 8 feet too short.
"No," she shook her head.
"Come on, we're sorry," Bobby added and John nodded in agreement, wanting out just as bad as his friend did.
"Marie!" Someone called from behind and she turned around, seeing Jean standing inside the mansion, leaning out the sliding glass door in the kitchen. She heard the red heads voice in her mind.
Will you come inside a moment, the voice spoke, loud and clear. I'd like you to meet someone.
She nodded her head and waved her arm at Jean. She looked at her friends in the pool. "I got to go. I'll see ya all later."
"Oh come on Rogue. Jean called us too," Bobby begged.
Rogue grabbed her robe, tying it around her. "I'll see ya later."
She walked away with a smile, listening to the pleads of the two in the pool. She would love to see how they got out of this one. But right now, she had someone she needed to go meet.
