And How to Cope With Them
Antalya sat on the fountains lip watching as the water spewed into the pond below.
"Death threats suck." She muttered to herself as Bobby and Rogue strolled by. Rogue looked at her and stopped.
"You're Logan's daughter Right?" her thick southern accent clipped her words but Antalya nodded knowing what she was saying. She looked up and the dark haired young woman smiled the white streak towards the front glowing brightly. "I'm Rogue."
"Antalya." They shook hands and Rogue sat down as Bobby kissed her cheek and walked into the school.
"Death Threats huh?" She said and Antalya nodded resting her arms on her knees, "A while ago I got one. It's what got me here."
"What Happened?" She asked the older girl.
"My mutation decided to kick in when I kissed my boyfriend." She explained sadly, "Put him in a coma and his father threatened me and scared me half to death so I had to run outta there."
"I just got death threat from a boy's dad too." She smiled at the dark haired young woman with white streaks on her bangs. "Except I stabbed his son so I guess it's deserved."
"No death threat is deserved. "Rouge said quietly putting an arm around her, "You know what you do with that?"
"What?" She asked humoring her.
"I ran when I got one," She stated, "But I learned that you should ignore it and move on."
"He said he would put a sniper on me if I don't stay away from his son." She scoffed looking at Rogue, "I'd say he's serious."
"Well I would doubt anyone would have a sniper for hire around here. "She looked deep in her blue eyes, "You're safe here trust me. Or not but trust professor Xavier and your Father. They are good people who want to protect and help you."
"The Secretary of the Navy said it." Antalya looked up at Rogue eyebrows raised, "I'm pretty sure he might have a sniper on hire with him."
Rogue laughed and shrugged, "Maybe Sunflower Maybe."
"Sunflower?" She asked as Rouge stood and offered a hand.
"I recognized Antalya from an old friend of mine." She smiled and pulled Antalya up, "It means break of day in old French right?"
"But sunflower?" She asked as they walked together to the school.
"Well the Sun looks like a flower at sunrise. "Rogue stated her southern twang making it sound more believable. "Or at least to me it does."
"Well then Rouge. It must be true." She nodded sarcastically.
"Amen to that Sunflower amen."
