---The Mission---
"Scott, Jean, Rogue, Kitty, Iris, get ready to leave. We have a situation." The professor's voice rang in their minds and they all hurried to the X van. Scott jumped into the driver side and the others piled in. The professor briefed them on the situation.
The brotherhood was at the fair, and the civilians were in their way. They were clearing the place out and tearing it apart. Blob was raiding the food stalls, Toad was thrashing the games, and Quicksilver was harassing the petting zoo. People ran, disgusted at Blob's manners and Toad's eating habits. The petting zoo was now running frantically through the fair.
"Look who decided to join the party." Toad said before continuing to suck up the flies around the garbage cans.
"Kitty, take care of the animals. Rogue, get the civilians out of here. Jean, take care of Pietro. I'll get Blob. Iris, that leaves you with-"
"Toad, I'm on it." Iris said, running after the muddy mutant.
It had started to rain; the fairgrounds were mostly dirt, which turned to mud. Civilians and mutants alike slid in the mud. Kitty took a spill while trying to grab a goat, and Blob lost his footing trying to dodge Scott's beams.
The petting zoo began to fill back up, and the mass of civilians grew thinner. "Not a great day for a date is it?" Lance said, stepping out from behind a booth. He stood between Iris and Toad.
"Lance, here is not the place." Iris said with a worried tone. They were much too close to the huge ferris wheel.
"Here is as good a place as any." Lance argued, the ground beginning the shake.
"Calm down." Iris said, taking a step closer.
"Don't tell me to calm down!" He demanded. "My girl is going out with a woman! If I get rid of you then she'll be mine again!" He had obviously convinced himself of this. The ground rumbled louder and shook faster.
"Damn it." Iris said in a low voice. She began to slide off her glove.
"NO!" Lance called, the tremors becoming increasingly violent. The wheel began to tip.
"Lance, please!" Iris yelled, tossing her gloves aside. "The ferris wheel!"
"I don't care!"
The wheel was falling fast; luckily Jean and Rogue were on it. Both of them struggled with its weight. "Shit." Iris turned away and ran to the others.
"Get everyone out of here!" Jean called to her as she approached, but there was no time. Their hold on the ride was failing. It was much too large and heavy for them to handle.
"I've got a better idea." Iris said, almost slipping in the mud as she sprinted toward Rogue.
"What are you doing?" Rogue was obviously confused.
"My powers have been changing, trust me." Iris begged.
"Hurry." Rogue said, her eyes showing her trust. Iris placed her palm on Rogue's forehead, just in time. The ferris wheel began to tumble down on them. At the last instant, with Jean and Iris' help, it caught. Iris yelled in pain, feeling her powers forcefully drained from her, though she was willingly pushing them into Rogue. Rogue could feel the weight of the wheel lighten on her mind. It began to stand back up. Iris collapsed.
The wheel stood straight up again, planted firmly where it stood. The fairground was clear of civilians and the animals were all caged. Blob and Quicksilver were unconscious. Toad and Lance had escaped. "Iris?" Rogue kneeled, tilting her up, still breathing hard.
"I don't know how that happened, but thanks." Rogue leaned down, her first kiss in the rain.
---Rogue's Room---
Iris knocked on the door, a long sigh escaping her lips. "Who is it?" Rogue's voice called from the inside.
"It's me; I was hoping we could talk about something." Iris answered.
The door opened, Rogue's hair still dripping wet and a towel over her body. "Come on in." She had had a long day, so it was no wonder she had taken a long hot shower. She made her way to her own set of drawers and slid her clothes on with the towel still wrapped around her. Iris made her way to the bed and took a seat.
"Rogue, I've made my decision." She said nervously, sitting as usual with a slight difference. Her fingers were laced together, her thumbs knocking against each other, it was her own nervous habit.
"I-I see." Rogue said with a grim tone, obviously not confident about her odds.
"I already told Kitty, so now I'm going to tell you the same thing." She dragged her eyes away from the floor and looked up. Her eyes met Rogue's, and she held them. "I learned a lot today during our mission. I learned more about you, I learned more about the team, I learned more about my powers, but most importantly I learned that I had been going about this wrong. I was spending all of my time getting to know the two of you, which is great and needed to be done, but I also needed to look inside myself and realize what it was that I need in a relationship." Rogue nodded silently, listening intently. "The mission didn't only help me realize this, but also answered the question for me." She stood up and took Rogue's hand with both of her own.
"What are you-"
"Rogue, as soon as I found out about your ability I was willing to share a secret with you that I had told only once before. I wasn't even strong enough to say it a second time. I made you drag it out of me. But that night, you spilled your heart to me first. You trusted me with a secret of your own."
"I didn't think you'd go behind my back." Rogue shrugged.
"I know it was more than that." Iris said with a smirk. "Since then we've had our share of heart-to-hearts, I feel like I could tell you anything and trust that nobody else would ever know. That's a big part of a relationship, trust. But there needs to be more, and between us, there is-much much more. During the mission, when I was with you in that moment, I realized that my feelings ran much deeper for you than I thought. All that was going through my head was 'what will I do if I lose her?' I couldn't handle it. "
"So what are you trying to say?" Rogue asked, a bit of hesitation in her voice.
"I'm falling for you. And it's happening fast." The waver in her voice was noticeable. "If you're willing to accept it, I would like you to have the other half of my heart."
"You aren't joking with me, right?" The excitement was hard to hide, but there was still some fear in her voice.
"I would never joke with somebody that way." Iris assured. In that moment, Rogue jumped up. Her arms slid around Iris' neck and she buried her face into her warm skin. Iris was taken by surprise, almost falling backwards, but catching herself. She rose up her arms and rubbed Rogue's back, feeling her tears run down her neck. Tears of happiness.
The tears stopped and Rogue looked up into Iris' eyes. "Is Kitty ok with this?"
"She was a little upset, but she wished us luck and happiness."
"Good, I'm very happy." Rogue leaned in, a sweet kiss.
---Time Skip---
Iris scurried around the mansion, doing her best to avoid Rogue at all costs. She turned a corner and almost bumped into someone, that someone phasing right through her. "Kitty, just who I was looking for." Iris said with a smile.
"Me? What is it?" She asked. Iris leaned in and whispered into her ear. "Awww!" Kitty said, clapping her hands together happily. "Of course I'll help out."
"Thanks." Iris said hurriedly. "Do you know where Kurt is? I need him too."
"Dining room." Kitty said, spinning around and making her way back down the hall.
Iris slid into the dining room, sliding behind Rogue in a hallway unnoticed. She was obviously looking for her. "Kurt." She whispered, Rogue was too close for her to speak up.
The blue boy looked up from his book. "Iris, isn't today-"
"Yeah, I was hoping you could help me out actually."
"Sure, what do you need me to do?" He replied with a smile. Iris leaned in and gave him instructions. "Easy." He said, giving two thumbs up.
"Let's do it." Iris said, running into the kitchen. Kurt vanishing as she did.
Kitty slid in through the wall. "So you've never done this before?"
---about an hour later---
"Great, can you take it to the room?" Iris asked, spinning around and taking a box off of the counter. Kitty slid into the floor with the product of their hard work.
"There you are." Rogue said from the kitchen door. "This place is a mess, what's going on?" She asked, looking around the room.
"I don't know, I just came in here to get something to drink." Iris lied.
"What's that?" Rogue asked, motioning to Iris' hand.
"What's what?" Iris asked, hiding the box behind her back.
"That thing you're hiding from me, genius." She said, setting her hands on her hips.
"I'm not hiding anything." Iris said with a hinting tone as Kitty phased back up through the floor. She waved the box behind her back and Kitty understood, taking it and sliding back down again.
"See?" Iris said, bringing her hands back to the front.
"If you say so." Rogue said, her eyebrow raised.
---Iris' Room---
Rogue knocked, Kurt having finally let her out of his sight. "Come in."
"Thanks, what's up with everyone today? Kurt wouldn't quit running me around the house." She said, stepping in and pulling the door shut.
"Remind me to thank him." Iris said, stepping up to Rogue and kissing her gently on the lips. Her room was dimly lit with candles. Rogue looked around, it took a moment but it clicked.
"Wait, you put him up to this? What is it you've been sneaking around about all day?" Rogue said. "You know you didn't have to do anything."
"A whole year, Rogue, a whole year." Iris said with a giddy smile. "How could I not do something?"
"You know you're too sweet right?" Rogue said, leaning up and kissing her again.
"Sweeter than the cake I slaved over for you?" Iris asked.
"You baked a cake?"
"Well, Kitty helped. I'm not great in the kitchen." She admitted, rubbing the back of her head.
"And you didn't learn your lesson about cake the last time?" Rogue laughed, crossing her arms.
"I wasn't complaining then, I wouldn't complain now; though it would be nice if you at least took one bite."
"Quite the sensual setup just for some cake." Rogue teased.
"Well, the cake isn't the only thing I got you." She paused, "I don't mean what you might think I mean."
The two of them sat on a picnic towel on the floor, surrounded by candles with the cake in the middle. This time they actually ate some. Iris stood up and took the small box from her nightstand. "I wanted to get you something special, but I'm not very good at picking out gifts so I really hope you like it." Iris said, kneeling and holding the box out for Rogue.
She accepted it, carefully untying the bow on top and sliding off the lid. Inside of the small black box lie a necklace, a silver rose pendent hanging from the bottom of a thin chain. Beneath it sat a note, which she unfolded and read. She smiled, setting both back inside the box and setting it aside. "I love it." She said, reaching up and pulling Iris into her kiss.
She leaned back, pulling Iris on top of her. "So, what if I was thinking about what you didn't mean before?"
"Are you sure?" Iris asked, her heart speeding up.
"It's been hard to hold back. You make me hot." Rogue admitted, pulling Iris in close again.
"Maybe shedding some clothes will help cool you off." Iris said, sliding her hands under Rogue's mesh shirt.
"Let's see." Rogue agreed, lifting up her arms and letting the shirt lift off of her shoulders. "That's a little better." She said. Iris let her hands caress Rogue's thin body, rubbing her hands up and down her sides from her hips to the bottom of her shirt. Their lips separated only when it was required to breathe. "If it's in your way, get rid of it." Rogue said, sliding her own hands beneath Iris' shirt.
Iris lifted Rogue's undershirt off and began to kiss down her neck. Soft sounds escaped her lips as Iris began to gently bite. Her hips began to shift beneath Iris' body, both of them beginning to breathe shallowly. Iris moved down Rogue's body, kissing from her neck down to the clasp on the front of her bra. Rogue unclipped it and pushed it away.
Iris' cheeks grew red, but she hesitated only a moment before moving her mouth onto one of the soft mounds. Rogue tilted her head back, the soft moans growing louder. Her hands held onto the other's hips, holding them steady as her own body grinded against the leg between her thighs.
Iris pulled her leg away, sliding her hand up Rogue's thigh and rubbing her body over two thin layers of fabric. Rogue's body grinded harder against Iris' hand. "Still too hot?" Iris asked, breathing deeply. Rogue could only nod, her hands already grasping the picnic blanket.
Iris tugged off Rogue's skirt and slid the stockings off after it. She also pulled off her own shirt and pants, just to make it fair. She licked at the remaining bit of fabric. It was damp, and even from above the fabric Rogue's pleasure was evident. The girl slid her fingers into Iris' short hair and pushed her into her body as the last bit of fabric was removed. Iris slid her tongue eagerly into Rogue's slit, letting it roam its length before settling over her clit. Rogue's body tensed, her hips sliding up and down with every push of Iris' tongue.
Iris kissed her way back up Rouge's body, letting her finger trace its way back up the girl's thigh and slide deep inside of her body. Rogue's mouth opened with a deep moan, and Iris slid her tongue between her lips. The muffled moans filled the room, escaping with each push of Iris' finger.
Iris bent her fingers and tugged, hitting Rogue's g-spot dead on. Her hips rocked harder, her heart beat faster, her breath rushed in and out. Iris slid down between Rogue's thighs, still tugging and beginning to press her tongue against Rogue's throbbing clit. The girl's hands tightened their grip on the blanket and her back arched. She could feel pressure welling up inside of her body.
Her body began to tense over and over, her back arching and her head tilting back. With one last loud breath she came. Iris leaned up, sitting on her knees, breathing just as hard as the other. "Now I'm cold." Rogue said between breaths. Iris picked her up and sat her in her bed, the sheets had already been pulled down since she didn't make her bed. Rogue patted the space next to her and Iris climbed in, sliding up against her and pulling the blankets up.
Once Rogue was asleep, Iris blew out the candles and returned to her space. "I love you." Rogue said tiredly.
"I love you too." Iris replied, kissing her gently on the cheek. They slept through the night.
Yay! Rogue's ending, hope you all liked it, I have some thinking to do about Kitty's ending now so it may take a couple days to finish this up.
