Marauders
Chapter 3: Rog
By Son of the Specter 992
AN: Hi, first I would like to thank A-Rog for the character that this chapter is about. I also want to thank Tigeress Moon for next chapter's character but for now, let's all read about a green haired boy who blows stuff up! YAY!
My name is Alex Roger. I am 20 years old and on the road. I get money to survive by playing my guitar in restaurants, on open mike night, and sometimes, when I need to, on the streets. I broke my leg when I was twelve, and above all, I'm a mutant.
My powers have caused me nothing but trouble. When I was 18 my songs won me the heart of the most beautiful girl in college and the object of my affection. We were a happy couple. We were invited to the senior's prom and were even voted king and queen of prom night. That was the night that my life changed for the worse.
I got back to my dorm and as usual, there were a couple of messages. The Hockey team called me to ask me to join the team again, I quit after my leg was broken when the goalie smashed it with his stick in anger. The second message was what changed me.
The police called to tell me that there was an explosion at my house. Neither of my parents survived. I was devastated. I sat down at my desk and cried. I went to pick up the phone to reserve a plane ticket to Buffalo. I touched the phone and it blew up. I was startled. I looked in the mirror and was taken by surprise. My long brown hair had turned green.
That was the first sign of my powers. I found that if I wore gloves that nothing would blow up. This worked well until my girlfriend got involved. One day during lunch, she asked me about my gloves and my hair. She pretty much figured out about me being a mutant. She took off my gloves.
All of my stored up power let loose and explosions filled the room. Only three people died, Shelly's best friends. That was the last time she directly spoke to me. It wasn't long before the police arrived at the scene. I went quietly and the trial came pretty quickly.
As almost all mutants accused of crimes, I was found guilty. I was sentenced to 50 years in prison but involvement of the Human Mutant Association, only spent 3 months. I was released with a pair of gloves, my guitar, and a wallet. I started my journey there. I knew that no college would want a mutant as it's student.

AN: thanks again A-Rog. Don't worry, Rog will meet up with Wolf and the others soon but you have to learn to walk before you can run and I have to finish this story before I start on the next. Up next, lions and tigers and girls? Oh my, a girl who turns into a tiger. Up next on Marauders.
