A/N: Okay another update! Okay so here's the four-one-one. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
God she was beautiful, lying in his arms with his barely thawed fingers stroking her long main of chocolate and platinum hair.
"John," he heard her murmur in her sleep as he continued his menstruations to her hair.
"Ah Mr. Allerdyce, so glad you decided to join the land of living," A young woman said in a white lab coat. She made her way towards the bed, a silver clipboard in her hand. She smiled gently when she saw her lying across his chest.
"You know she's been here everyday for almost two weeks looking in on you," the supposed doctor sighed as she looked at the girl.
"How long have I've been out?" John asked his eyes never really leaving Rogue's figure.
"About two and a half weeks. No worries though, Marie explained everything. Poor dear, just caught in the crossfire of it all," She paused while John looked slightly confused until the realization of what Rogue had done for him set in.
"Oh yea," John said covering up his confusion.
"Yes, well as soon as Marie receives your paperwork you will be released into her care," The apparent doctor said as she checked the IV bag to his right.
"Paperwork?" He asked, another wave of confusion shifting through him.
"Oh Marie has sent for your records from New York. She said they should be here in a week," she smiled as she unhooked the IV bag from his arm.
"Oh hello Dr. Willbanks, I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep," Rogue said groggily.
"Hello Marie, but it's quite alright. I don't think you where really disturbing anyone," Dr. Willbanks said to her smiling at the fact that she had yet to see the awake John.
"No really I wasn't disturbed at all," John said with his infamous smirk as he watched Rogue's eyes grow big and a large smile creep across her face.
"John your awake!" Rogue all but screamed as she latched her self onto him in a death gripping hug.
"Yea you noticed that too, how very unusual," he said with his usual sarcasm.
"I'll just leave you two alone for awhile," Doctor Willbanks told the two as she exited the room leaving the two in each other's company.
"So you going to tell me what in the hell is going on here? Or do I have to guess?" John asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Well…, I've lied, cheated and pretty much stole to make sure you didn't get your Pyro ass sent to jail," Rogue told him matter of fact like.
"Nice I finally rubbed off on you. But really what did you do?" John questioned her again as Rogue looked down at her slowly fraying gloves.
"I had to tell a few white lies to make sure they didn't ship you off the moment you woke up and found out your Magneto's right hand man," Rogue said somberly the knowledge that the man before her was actually the front man for the man who literally killed her not even two years before hand still cut deeply.
"Explain?" John pushed forward he was highly curious on what little miss innocents did to save his sorry carcass from seeing the next twenty years to life behind metal bars.
"Well they think you are my live-in boyfriend from New York. We worked together back up at the school there. You had to come to San Francisco for business and got caught in the cross-fire at Alcatraz," Rogue summed upped for him. He smiled then at how easily she had manipulated the entire ward that they had placed him in.
"Well why you aren't just the little Rogue aren't we? So ice-dick knows his precious treasure is half way across the country to rescue his mortal enemy?" John asked with amusement in his eyes. Almost the same look he had when it came to playing with fire.
"I ain't his no more," Rogue said sternly through gritted teeth.
"Yea and why's that?" He pushed trying to see how much information she was really going to tell him. He never really expected the truth though as she started to explain.
"I'll give ya two words. Katherine Pryde," Rogue said almost furiously as she stared determinedly into his eyes.
"You've got to be kidding me! Of all the people he picked shadow-girl to cheat on you with! Now that's a laugh," John said the shock and amusement clear on his face along with a large smile.
"It ain't funny St. John," Rogue said throwing his real name at him, drawing it out like poison on the skin.
"Sorry it's just, damn he really is as dense as ice," Rogue smiled at his so John comment.
"So are you going to tell me how Storm just gave you all my medical papers without any fuss?" John asked her, which had been bothering him since the doctor told him that she had gotten all his paper work.
"That's another funny story actually. Well, you see I kinda blacked mailed one of the x-men into getting not just your medical files but all your original files. Even mine to, I really don't like having Storm have our entire lives at her disposal," Rogue said as if it was something she did everyday.
"EW…now aren't we the evil little mutant girl as of late? So who did you black mail?" John asked almost prideful.
"And again I'll give ya two words. Kitty Pryde," Rogue said with a triumphant smile.
"Damn you are beyond evil, I now bow down to the almighty Rogue and her abilities at undercover work," John laughed doing a mock bow. Soon both were laughing hard at his antics until silence took over them again and a serious note seemed to fall across the two.
"But really Rogue why are you doing this?" John asked her, his hand tracing the lining of her gloved hand.
"You're the only one who ever cared enough," Rogue told him honestly with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" John asked staring at her intently.
"You would have immediately talked to me about the cure the moment it hit the news. Then you would have spent another hour discussing with me the ramifications of those actions if I decided to take it. Instead of telling me how stupid I was for even thinking about it and then telling me that you weren't my father and the decision was mine and mine alone to make. That's why; even if I decided to get it you have dropped everything and stood in line with me. Even if it goes against everything you ultimately believe in. You wouldn't have put my feelings on the back burner. So I decided that I would return the favor of knowing you would have done the exact same for me," Rogue told him looking at him behind long lashes. The feeling of his fingers grazing her gloves sent chills she hadn't experienced in along time through her.
"Kinda going over and beyond though don't you think?" John whispered to her.
"No not at all," Rogue told him as she watched John lean into her. His breath caressing her face her eyes closing as his proximity got closer to hers. Until finally his warm lips pressed against hers giving her a feeling she had yet to experience. A great experience she hoped would last on forever.
A/N: Okay here's the next chapter. Longer than all the rest, but look John's awake and well they kissed! YAY for fluffiness! Lol, okay so I really don't know when the next chapter will be up so just bare with me. It should be up sometime next week.
Also, thank you again for the amazing reviews! The story does get better as the time passes by I promise. I am just taking it in slow strides! Well enjoy!
