A/n: heres a fast update for you! the reviews made me happy so I decided I would write for you!!!!
Rogue spun around and saw a young man with silver colored hair. She had no idea who this man was but he apparently knew who she was. He had a smirk on his face and his arms were crossed. Then as fast as lighting he disappeared, Rogue looked around and saw now he was standing in front of her. He wasn't a teleporter like Night crawler for no smoke was made when he moved. "What's the matter?" he said in a mocking voice, "boy friend break up with you?" he pouted mockingly and then smirked.
"No. and I would thank you to stay out of my personal business…Mr.…"
"Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff…but you can call me Quicksilver." In a second he was next to her on the bench.
She looked at him her eye brows raised. "Look what do you want?"
"Oh nothing…."
"Somehow I don't believe that." She rolled her eyes trying to scoot away from this guy. "Well you should Miss. Roguey." Rogue whipped her head to face Pietro. "How do you know me?"
Pietro stood up smirking, "I know all about you, we all know all about you."
"Who is we?"
A girl who seemed to have the same power as Quicksilver appeared next to him. "I'm part of that we." She also had a smirk planted on her face. "I'm callisto. You're Rogue…you're a pretty powerful mutant although you don't think so, you can temporarily absorb someone's life force, memories and in the case of mutants, their mutation. You would be a great addition to our team."
"so you're the reason why everyone knows me." Rogue said glaring at the woman.
"yea…well part of it."
Rogue raised her eyebrow at them. What did they mean? Who were they with?
"Who the hell are you?"
Before she knew it, Pietro had her held up by her collar. "I wouldn't talk that way. I don't know who you think you are. So let me tell you. You are just a pathetic little x-men who can't even compare with us."
"Hey!" a familiar voice, to both Pietro and Callisto and rogue, rang through the air. A ball of fire suddenly hit Pietro out of the way and Rogue fell to the ground. "Pietro what the hell are you doing?!" John stormed into the picture, fire still in the palm of his hands.
After Pietro put himself out he got up to his feet and motioned to the girl on the ground, "what the hell are you doing John? She's an x-man and you're protecting her!"
"She wasn't doing anything!" John fought back.
Pietro smirked, "figures you would stand up for her."
John narrowed his eyes, "what the hell does that mean?"
Pietro passed John and shoved him with his arm, "I think you know." He hissed in his ear. "Lover boy."
John pushed him away from him almost knocking him to the ground. "so much for those cat like reflexes you were talking about yesterday."
"Well let's see how much reflex you have." Pietro growled and sped behind John and went to push him but John ducked and pulled Pietro's legs, making him fall on his back. Pietro groaned out rolling around on the ground. "you forget" John started standing over Pietro, " I had training for seven years in the Xavier institute two of which were with Wolverine and then three at the brotherhood. Don't mess with me Quicksilver." He threw a fire ball at the ground next to Pietro who covered his head and squealed like a girl. Callisto started laughing, "Pyro." She said between laughs. "Magneto said to try not to start fights with him."
Pyro looked down at the cowering speedster. "But it's so fun." He put on a fake pout and Pietro glared up at him.
Rogue watched from where she was on the ground, she was holding onto the bench wishing she wasn't there.
"Now get out of here Pietro, Callisto you too."
Callisto stopped laughing, "Oh yes all mighty Pyro." She huphed and grabbed Pietro off the ground and disappeared behind some trees. John watched them go and as soon as they were out of sight he looked over at Rogue who was avoiding his gaze by looking at the ground.
"I swear sometimes he thinks he's all that." He announced trying to make conversation but she didn't respond--at all.
He walked over and sat on the bench which she now was sitting back on. "He thinks he can do anything he wants just because he's the boss' son." This got Rogues attention.
"Magneto has a son?"
John nodded, "yea I know it surprised all of us including him."
"Well it explains why he's such a jerk." She muttered.
"Magneto is not a bad guy…he's like the father I never had."
"Well, your "father" almost tried to kill me, remember?" she reminded him still resentful of Magneto for that. "And don't give me that crap 'he did it to save the mutants' but he was going to kill me John! He's not a bad guy you say; well humans aren't all bad either."
"But they hate us."
Rogue shook her head, "no not all of them. If they do all hate us then tell me why is the most obvious mutant in the world the secretary of mutant affairs."
John was stuck there; he didn't know the answer to that one. "Ok fine. But Xavier is trying to unite humans and mutants and most of the humans hate us." Suddenly he had a thought. "Ok tell me this Rogue, if not all humans hate us why do you hide in the institute? And that guy Stryker he tried wiping out the whole mutant population!"
"Magneto tried wiping out the human population! If we left them alone they would probably leave us alone!" Rogue snapped at him
John shook his head, "No, as soon as humans found out about us they wanted to kill us when we do nothing but protect their stupid pathetic lives!"
Rogue narrowed her eyes at him and turned her back to him.
"You know we were one of them before we even got our mutations." She said suddenly her back still facing him.
"Look could we just drop this subject." He asked her.
She turned to face him with a smirk, "why. You're afraid to admit it's true."
"No" he answered immediately, but he didn't say it in a rushed tone that made it seem like he was denying it. "I don't like arguing with you." he answered honestly.
Her eyes grew soft and her smirk faded. "Really? You used to do it a lot at the institute." She said in a hushed voice.
I did it to hide my feelings. He wanted to say that to her but he knew he couldn't. "I didn't want to…it's just my nature."
She raised an eyebrow and he sighed, "come on Rogue you know me."
She chuckled and glanced down at the ground, "Yea John I do."
"Exactly, so you should know that I argue."
"I think there never was a time that you didn't pick a fight." She smiled up at him.
He put on his trade mark smirk, "True, I even do it now, especially with Pietro. That boy gets on my nerves!"
Rogue laughed and she looked over at John and saw him looking at her with a look in his eyes. "What?" she asked still laughing a bit.
"I miss your laugh."
Her laughter died out but she still had a smile on her face, "I miss how you used to make me laugh."
"Used to? I think I still can."
"Oh? How so?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"By doing my impression of Pietro." She raised her eyebrow waiting for him to continue. He cleared his throat and did just that. "'Oh father, Pyro is making fun of me again! He's saying im old because I have white hair but its silver! Right dad? Its silver! I tell him that but he just goes 'no it's white…sorry to say it old man.' And then he says wise cracks like 'for an old guy you can run pretty fast' and daddy please punish him he's a bad boy!'"
In the middle of that somewhere Rogue just started laughing hysterically.
John smirked and contemplated on whether he should say what he wants to next. After seeing her laughter and her smile he decided to do it. "he's worse than Bobby."
Rogue only laughed harder at that, she practically fell off the bench. After she laughed so hard she could barely breathe she calmed down. "Damnit Allerdyce you still got it."
"You better believe it." He nodded with a smirk. She looked at him, "it's so weird with us."
"Hmm?" he quirked an eyebrow not knowing what she meant. "Just a few minutes ago we were arguing and now look at us."
"We're bi-polar." This got another laugh out of her. " 'Dyce you know you are one of the only people who can make me laugh."
"Well thank you I feel honored." He held a smirk while saying this and Rogue shoved his arm.
"and what's with the nickname? 'Dyce? Where did that come from?"
Rogue shrugged. "I dunno I was sick of calling you 'John' all the time or now if you prefer 'Pyro', 'Dyce is kinda a mixture between the nice half of you and the evil one."
"Evil? You're calling me evil?" he had a humorous tone to his voice and Rogue played along.
"Yes Pyro, you are evil. Just look what you did at Alcatraz."
"I would have beaten that little ice prick if he hadn't surprised me with his solid ice hands." He muttered.
"Shut up John…everybody gets defeated once in a while."
John shook his head persistently, "no. not me I'm invincible." He said that so seriously, Rogue had to keep her self from laughing.
"Keep dreaming 'Dyce."
"I like that name." he admitted finally. "it sounds like "slice and dice."
Rogue sighed and rolled her eyes, "You're impossible."
"But that's why you love me."
Rogue didn't say anything after that, which surprised John because he thought she would have said "sure" or something like that but instead she just stared ahead with a blank look on her face.
Rogue looked down to the ground. If she didn't really love him she would have said something back to him. But she did and for a moment she thought he knew that and so she didn't get to respond and it was too late now.
"Rogue?" he questioned after a while.
"I have to go." She said softly getting up to leave but she felt John grab her hand. "Wait."
She stopped and turned to face him but didn't look at him. She shuffled her feet not wanting to look John in the eyes. "Why won't you look at me?"
Rogue shook her head not wanting to answer him either. "Answer me." He said in a stern tone. He was getting frustrated with her.
"John I…"
"What?" he snapped, "why won't you talk to me!"
"Because I shouldn't be here!" she yelled finally looking at him. "we shouldn't be talking, you betrayed us John and I'm just talking to you like nothing ever happened. We're enemies!"
"Our leaders our enemies…not us."
"It's not just that John. You were part of us, if anyone from the institute saw us together…" she didn't get to finish because he cut her off.
"So what? I don't give a shit about what people say about me and neither should you! I could care less what my friends back at the brotherhood thought about us you saw it I fought Pietro cuz he was hurting you, I told callisto to beat it so I could talk with you."
"Well you were always nuts." She snapped glaring at him.
"Who's over there to care anyway? You told me bobby left you for kitty so they're out and all you had was me and Jubes and Jubes wasn't really your best friend either." And as soon as he said that he wished he hadn't. Rogue had a mixed look in her eyes one was that she was ready to cry another was she was ready to kick the crap out of him.
"I have a lot of people who care about me over there and you would know that if you stayed." She started approaching him. "Over there I feel like I have a family, I'm happy, I'm loved. So I wouldn't say anything I wasn't sure about Pyro cuz it could get you in a lot of trouble."
"Trouble is my middle name."
"Exactly and that's why I shouldn't be here, So Good bye John, have fun with your trouble and Magneto's stupid plans on trying to kill the human race." She turned to leave once more, fuming with anger. But once again John grabbed her hand; he pulled her towards him, placed the hands on the side of her face and slammed his lips down onto hers. She was taken a back at first and it took her a second to realize that John was actually kissing her. Her hands remained at her sides not knowing how to respond to this and before she knew it he broke away from her.
That action broke past her tough barrier and all the emotions bottled up inside her started pouring out as she went weak. He took his hands away from her face and pulled her in close to him, her face buried in his shoulder. "Why John? Why? Why?" she cried into his shoulder. He knew what she was asking why about but he couldn't bring himself to answer it. Part of it was because he honestly didn't know why he left. If he didn't leave he would have been able to hold her, and have more moments like this. But that was also part of the reason why he left, before he left Bobby and Rogue had absolutely no problems in their relationship except for the fact that they couldn't touch but that didn't bother Bobby. John got the notion into his head that he and Rogue would never be together. But how wrong he was. "I'm sorry." Was all he could say, but those two little words came from his heart.
