The ride to wherever the acolytes stayed was a long one, It was about two
in the morning when she arrived. She had slept through most of the ride,
but the seats were really uncomfortable. It had been hard to fall asleep
in the first place.
Rogue jolted awake as the orb came to an abrupt stop. The top opened up and Rogue tiredly picked up her bags. She groggily jumped out of the orb to see two men. One familiar; Magneto; and the other oddly resembled a large cat with long hair, sharp nails, and fangs.
"Sabertooth, Rogue." Magneto said to the other mutant, beckoning at Rogue. "Rogue, Sabertooth." Magneto said then to Rogue, beckoning at the man. "Welcome Rogue. I must congratulate you on your fight with the Brother Hood." He said, but his voice was so blank it wasn't much of a compliment.
Rogue nodded, but she wasn't really up for a conversation. She was tired and hungry.
"Creed, could you show her to her room." Magneto stated without question to Sabertooth. Sabertooth then walked toward her and led her out of the room. She followed quietly.
The place was large, but looked like a normal house for the most part.
"Kitchen." Sabertooth said, pointing to a door. He pointed to another door. "Gym." He then led her up some stairs. He turned to the right and the second door on the left he stopped. "Your room." He said. "All of the places I've shown you, you can go whenever you please and use whatever you like." Sabertooth said. "The room to the left is a library. Use it as you please. And the room across from yours is the bathroom."
"Thank y'Sugah." Rogue said, turning the doorknob to her new room. Creed nodded, then walked away.
Rogue turned the light on and was slightly shocked. The room was large. A queen sized bed was against the wall. There was a dresser, a work table, and a night stand with a lamp and an alarm clock.
Rogue dropped her bags. She thought about what she wanted to do. She was exhausted, but also extremely hungry.
She decided on eating so she quickly left her room and went down to the room Sabertooth had shown her.
She opened the door to reveal an ordinary, cozy little kitchen.
She looked around. This was her new home, her new kitchen. She wondered what the other acolytes would be like and how many there would be.
She walked over to a cabinet and opened it. She was a bit surprised to see junk food. She shrugged and reached up to grab out a bag of sour cream and onion chips when someone grabbed her hand. They were then gripping the other and spinning around so they were holding her arms across her chest. It had happened too quickly for her to have reacted and she couldn't escape because not only were her hands being held over opposite shoulders, but the person had pinned her knees against the counter and her back was pinned tightly against the chest of whoever was grasping her hands.
"What are y'doin' here?" The man demanded. Rogue sighed. How many times had that question been asked over the last two days? She felt like she was repeating herself; just in different situations.
It didn't help either being so close to the person. People just didn't go near her, let alone touch her, and here she was, in complete contact with someone she hadn't even seen before."
"Who are yo?" The man demanded.
"Mah name's Rogue," Rogue began in annoyance, trying to ignore the pain of her knees digging into the counter. "And Ah'm here because Magneto- Eric Lensher- just employed me!" Rogue said skeptically.
"Ahhh~" The man said, releasing her hands and stepping back. "We have a femme in de team now den?"
"A what?" Rogue asked, turning around.
She was taken aback by the man standing behind her. Tall, muscular, with dark brown disheveled hair. His eyes were red and where the white was usually, it was black. He wore a white wife beater and boxers. Obviously, he had been sleeping and had gotten up for a mid~ morning snack.
The man reached past her to pull the chips she had been reaching for down.
Rogue shook her head. "Is that how'ya greet all yer new recruits?"
"Non, dat wouldn' be nearly as pleasant wit' any o' de other acolytes." The man replied with a breathtaking grin. "What's yo're power?" He asked.
"What's you're name?" Rogue asked.
"Dey call me Gambit. You can call me Remy."
Rogue sighed and turned to the refrigerator. She looked around and found sandwich makings and pulled them out.
"Where's the bread?" She asked the Cajun.
"Over dere." He said, pointing to a corner.
She walked over and grabbed out two pieces of bread. She then began making her small meal.
"So when'd y'get here?" Remy asked.
"Barely ten minutes ago." Rogue replied, beginning to put the meat and such away.
"How're you discovered?" Remy asked.
Rogue sat down. "One o' Magneto's workers raised meh."
Remy lifted an eyebrow and cocked his head making him look even cuter. "O?" He asked.
"Mystique." Rogue replied.
Remy nodded, then closed the bag of chips and twisted it shut. "Well, Remy better get his sleep. So should Rogue, so y'hurry up wit' dat sandwich and git t'bed." He said sarcastically, before getting up and walking out.
Rogue listened to him though and went straight to bed after finishing her small meal. As a matter of fact, she hadn't even remembered her head landing on her pillow.
