AN: first of all, I'm not really a Rogueneto fan, but I briefly included the suggestion of such a thing here because it wouldn't work otherwise. However, I most certainly am a Rogue fan, and I know what I wrote here is absolutely unfair to the character, but that's poetic license for you. I decided not to write her accent because I simply have no idea of how I would do that and could end up sounding disrespectful. Anyway, this is dedicated to JasmineBella, first reviewer of this story; I know it's not exactly what you expected, but I hope you enjoy it =)

Fair warning, then: some Rogue fans might feel offended, but I blame her behavior on the alcohol.


He didn't expect to find Rogue in the middle of his mission, but he couldn't say this was an unwelcome surprise either. Opposite sides of the Schism or not, the two collaborated, like in the old days, and managed to destroy the new headquarters of the Purifiers. And a completed mission always called for celebration. It only took some drinks to take away whatever inhibitions either of them might have, and after that it was all rushed hands and hungry mouths. Magneto hated to admit his daughter was right, but it had been a while for him – and, though he didn't know it, the same was true for Rogue.

And very quickly into the thing, she took his helmet off, put her ungloved hand on his newly uncovered head and… froze. Stepping back, with a disgusted look on her face, all Marie could say was "What the f***?!"

Magneto looked back at her, frustrated. "You don't like it?"

Marie's horrified face was answer enough, but she had to ask "What the hell were you thinking?"

"One day I woke up and decided it was time for a change." He could have covered his head back to make her more comfortable, but why should he? Taking it from his naturally annoying son and his worried daughters was one thing, but an ex-lover who could no longer bear the sight of him was not really his problem. "Are you honestly suggesting my hair was the only reason why we were ever together?"

Rogue actually blushed at that. And then she vomited. Magneto walked away, mumbling something about being too old for this.
