I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me

The hotel room was pretty simple. Two bedroom, a bathroom and lounge. It had a flat screen TV which the girls seemed to take over in three seconds upon entry. Malina wanted to watch MTV and Eris was more partial to the Disney channel. Which was beyond weird but when he asked why all he got was a death glare. A small fight for the remote erupted and he had to break it up and trying an calm them down before their powers went haywire. After a long talk Eris got the remote and Malina settled for his I-pod. Leaving him with nothing to drown out the sounds of Malina's singing and Eris's weird laugh.

He dragged their bags to the room with two single beds and then took his bag into the other room, which had a double bed. He sat down, tossing his bag in the corner. It was going to be a long week. He'd been thinking that maybe he'd try and tutor the girls since they were struggling with some subjects but school was never his strong point. According to Logan they were good with hand to hand combat but didn't take orders well. He could probably teach them to move undetected like Mystique had taught him. He was just glad they weren't teenagers. Now, that would be scary.

'John?'

He looked up. Malina was standing at his door. He smiled and waved her forward. She stepped in and sat next to him on the bed. She pulled a earphone out of one ear.

'Yes?'

'Why do have sappy love songs on here?'

'Rogue.'

'Oh.'

'Yeah, she kinda took over my I-pod quite a few times.'

'Why didn't you ever take the songs off?'

'It reminded me of her. I tried to, lots of time. But it always felt like I was erasing her.'

'You loved her, didn't you?'

'More than anything.'

'Did you tell her that before you left?'

'No, I wanted to but I couldn't hurt her that way.'

'I don't understand.'

'If I told her and left, she would have blamed herself. Maybe even done something drastic. Or worse followed me.'

'The Brotherhood that bad?'

'Yep, so stick with the x-geeks. They're pathetic but they fight for you. They're like the family you never had.'

'Or wanted.'

'Don't lie to yourself kid, you always wanted one.'

'What did I say about calling me kid?'

'Sorry Malina.'

'That's okay flame pixie.'

'You're really annoying. What you listening to anyway?'

'Untouched by the Veronicas.'

'Rogue's favourite.'

'I kinda guessed that.'

'Yeah, she used to sing it to me. Dancing around like a pop star. She has the best singing voice.'

'You'll find her.'

'Sure, now shoo. I'm tired from all that driving. Order room service for you and your evil twin…'

'I heard that!'

'…I mean your beautiful sister Eris and tonight I'll take you to that diner we passed.'

'Sir, yes, sir.' said Malina.

She saluted him and marched out closing the door behind her. He yawned and flopped down on top of the covers, drifting off to sleep.

-xXx-

It was late afternoon when he finally decided to go find her. After the museum incident yesterday she'd stopped talking to him. He found her in her room sitting on the floor listening to his I-pod. Or their I-pod as she so fondly called it. He sighed and sat next to her. She looked up at him then looked away. He removed her earphones and little her chin up so that their eyes met.

'I'm sorry.'

'Do you know why you're sorry?'

'No.'

'Then why apologize?'

'Because you're upset.'

'How could you do that?'

'What, I didn't want to give that guy my lighter. Why punish me for that?'

'It's not that. You were flirting with Kitty.'

'No I wasn't. If anything you were the one flirting and with that human.'

'Why would I flirt John, I can't touch. Why would I put myself through that. I'm a freak, I know no-one wants me.'

Her words cut at him. Tears ran down her cheeks and she looked away. He watched as she stood up and climbed under the covers. He sighed and followed her. He put his arms around her and pulled her closer, her back touching his chest.

'Listen, you silly girl. I was not flirting with Kitty. I was trying to wind her up. If anything I was flirting with you. You mean a lot to me. You're not a freak, far from it. I'm the luckiest guy to have you as my girl. You're not untouchable.'

To prove his point he turned her to face him and kissed her on the lips. He lingered there waiting for her to respond. She half-smiled and kissed him back. He pulled her closer and one of her hands wound in his hair. Soon she pulled back and smiled, resting her head on his chest.

'What were you listening to?' he whispered.

'You and me by life house.'

'There's something about you now, I can't quite figure out. Everything she does is beautiful, everything she does is right.' he sang.

'See, and you said you don't listen to the songs I put on.'

'Yeah, Yeah. Let's just keep this between us.'

-xXx-

It was seven o'clock when he finally left the hotel room with the girls. They went to the diner as promised but they went in silence. Apparently Malina tried to reclaim the remote and Eris, being in the middle of Lilo and Stitch, leapt at her sister and bit her. John was too scared to reprimand Eris so he spent the afternoon playing scrabble with Malina on the balcony to keep her occupied and away from Eris.

They entered the diner and took seats at the back. Eris on one side, he and Malina on the other side. He needed to change the topic fast. A waitress came over and smiled.

'You're waitress will be here in a few minutes. It's just we're really busy tonight.. Can I get you drinks so long?'

He looked at the girls but they were looking out the window.

'Nothing for now.'

The woman smiled and walked way. He sighed and decided to wade into uncharted territory.

'Hey girls I was thinking…'

Both dragged their eyes from the window and looked at him.

'A good job for you both would be in a hospital.'

Eris raised her eyebrow.

'Think about it. Eris you could help people whose hearts are slowing. Malina could help people suffering from stress.'

'It's sounds great, but would only work if she didn't hate me.' muttered Malina.

Eris's eyes widened before she frowned.

'I don't hate you.'

'Then why are you so mean?'

'I just am.'

Malina looked at John and he shrugged. He understood Eris better than anyone else. She was a hot-head. It couldn't be helped. But that didn't mean they couldn't care for other people. He looked at eris and winked. She smirked and shook her head. Then her eyes widened. He frowned then froze as he heard a familiar voice.

'Eris, Malina? What are you…?'

He looked up and met her eyes. Her shock expression mirrored his.

'Rogue?' he whispered.

-xXx-

A/N: Yay! By the way I think untouched is a perfect song for Pyro and Rogue.
