Chapter 1. The Meeting.
Rogue was lying on her back on her bed in hotel room which she sheared with Kitty. All parts of her body ached. She wanted only one thing right now – long deep sleep. At least till the moment when Logan knocks at the door of her room in five minutes before their leaving back to New York. Rogue with all her hart hoped that in next few hours no one’ll interrupt her.
Eight hours ago Prof. Xavier told his Xmen to drop all their business, get dressed in their uniforms and get in to the Blackbird. They flew to the LasVegas looking for new antimutant group called the Friends Of Humanity. Now, having saved innocent people and having stopped the “bad gyese”, Prof. gave to his heroes one day-off. Kurt and Bobby took Scott to the casino, Ororo, Xavier and Logan went to the restaurant and the rest of them (all the girls except Rogue of cause) went for shopping.
Rogue angrily roared in her pillow. Why is she here anyway? She’s been at Xavier’s school for gifted for two years already hoping to get control of her powers. To be able to touch someone not sending the person to coma… Two years… Maybe Irene was right making the girl to cover herself and wear the gloves because of her “skin condition”. Another way it would have been more torture for her… Seeing everybody touching each other, hugging, kissing… In the Mansion when Rogue enters the room all the talks stopped, Scott and Jean leave for another place remembering about “forgotten things”… to go there where SHE wouldn’t bother them… Rogues crush on Scott had passed long ago, she can deal with that. But feeling everyone’s at the Mansion sorry for her, seeing heir’s playing like there is no touch in the nature made her angrier. She hated pity, sorry. She was the Rogue.
читать дальшеHer only friends were Kitty and Kurt (her newfound brother). Of all grownups she trusted only to Logan who became for her like a real father.
‘This is unfair! Why I’m so cruelly cursed? Why me of all the people?’ With all her force she smacked her pillow.
‘You’ll never be able to touch anyone,’ Cody’s cold voice said in her head.
‘Shut up!’
‘Oh nooo! This is your entire fault! It’s because of you I’m stuck in your head!!!’
‘This is so like untrue!’ said Kitty. ‘She totally didn’t know that that would happen.’
Cody laughed coldly.
‘And you believe her? Stupid girl! She knew everything. Such as her must be killed before their born!’
‘Shut up! Shut up!’ Rogue closed her eyes and closed her ears by her hands she had not so much strait to block the psyches. ‘This is not true! I didn’t want it! I didn’t know!’
Knock at the door returned her to reality.
“Rogue? May I enter, child?” asked Ororo.
“Come in!” Rogue seated herself on her bed, her back to the back of the bed.
The door opened and the Goddess of the weather entered her room. She haven’t changed after the dinner with Prof. and Logan.
“How are you feeling? Kitty told about your headache.”
“Ah’m fahne.” Lied Rogue. “Is there ahny ahther whay ta be lest alone in peace and quiet?”
“Understood,” smiled Ro. “We leaving tomorrow after breakfast. You should go and have fun while we are here.”
“Thanks, but Ah don’t think it would be great idea.” Especially since Ah got someone to coma on my last party and since then HE IS STUCK IN MAH HEAD!!! “Ah’ll sleep till tha breakfast. It’ll be best.”
“Ok,” agreed Ororo. “Are you sure you alright, child?”
“Sure! Goodnight, Storm.” Storm left the room.
‘Oh! You are like such a liar!’ started Kitty’s psyche. ‘You need to have fun! But like nooo! You lock yourself in your small world and glare at everyone who like try to talk to you!’
“Thanks to you Ah have a great company right in my head,” growled Rogue laing her face down to the pillow.
‘I like want only good for you!’
“Please don’t!” Rogue swallowed two painkillers.
“Rogue, would you like join us in club?”
“Shut up,” answered half sleeping Goth girl.
“Oh! It’s like so nice of you!” the real Kitty appeared near her bed.
“Kit?..” Rogue shocked looked at her roommate. “Sorry, Ah thought… Never mind.” Rogue again laid her head on the pillow and hut her eyes.
“Lets go to the club! Everyone like waits for you!” Kitty bounced on Rogues bed.
“No,” ‘Please! Please leave ME ALONE!!!’
“Why not?”
“Because!”
“Why?”
“Because Ah’m tired! All parts of my body aches! Ah want long deep sleep! Isn’t thaht enough???”
“Like no. Come on, Rogue! We are leaving tomorrow!”
“What a lost... And now would you leave me, ‘cause Ah’m planning to fall asleep right now and till tha very moment when Logan knocks at my door and tells that we’re leaving in fifteen minutes!”
“Like no way!” With that words Kitty grabbed Rogue’s wrist and phased them threw the door of theirs room.
Fifteen minutes later Rogue, Jean, Kitty, Tabby and Amara were sitting at the table of a club. Though Rogue was mad at Kitty she had to admit that the club was not so bad. The walls were dark green. Around each table there were cozy black armchairs surrounded by black drapes so no one could interrupt those who was seating at the table. The dance floor was crowded and Rogue nervously checked her gloves.
They chose the table near the dance floor and ordered soda. The waitress gave them smile, saying ‘I-do-this-only-because-it’s-my-trial period’ and left.
Rogue looked around waiting for appropriate moment to get the Hell out of this club and get back to the hotel. Her psyches became even more louder and persistent. She shook her head trying to ignore Cody’s retorts.
“Rogue, like come on! Don’t you ever like get a life?” perky Kitty noticed Rogue’s tense. “Only for that night!”
“Kit, Ah think that you lost something out of your view. If Ah accidentally touch someone Ah’ll suck him dry! What tha Hell is that?” she pointed at cap at Kitty’s head. On the black cap she read “Love bites”.
“Oh! I like bought it at the mall. It’s like totally cool! You like it?”
“It doesn’t suit you!” shouted Rogue threw lowed music. But the Valley girl didn’t catch her words. Then Rogue took the cap and put it on her head. Kitty tried to take it back but one guy about eighteen asked the brunet to dance and she walked to the dance floor holding his hand. “And two hours ago she was worried about her dearest Lance!”
Soon all the girls found partners and went dancing leaving Rogue alone with her thoughts about escape.
‘Why are you like so unsocial?’ asked Kitty’s psyche when Rogue glared a daggers at the guy who asked her to dance.
‘Because these idiots got only one thing in their little mind, and even if Ah didn’t have that so-called ‘gift’ Ah wouldn’t give tham ahny chance!’
‘You don’t even like try to get close…’
‘Ah don’t want to get close!’
‘I only want you to have a little fun’
‘Who said Ah don’t?’
“Could you please bring me some Strawberry Margarita?” Rogue asked a passing by waitress. The girl looked at Rogue and left to the bar. Rogue smiled slyly. Her Goth heavy make up made people think that she was adult.
‘No! You like underage!’
‘Oh yeah! Kit, shut up and let me get a life!’ Rogue thanked the waitress and tasted her drink.
“Un more shot an’ you’ll not be able to seat straight,” lamented Henri over his drunk brother.
“Remy be okay.” Answered his brother asking barterer one more scotch.
“Non, dat be enough.” Henri took Remy’s drink away from his reach.
“You be not de one who is gotta be married in a week!”
“I understand dat you upset, but de Guilds…”
“You don’t understand anyt’ing!’
“You married Mercy and you both love each other! And I must marry fou assassin! And her family hase no idea ‘bout Remy’s secret…” Remy chukled.
“De deal is deal. Dey won’t dare to brake de treaty. Both Guilds want pease.”
“Remy didn’t sign it!” He turned away from the bar and looked around searching for someone who’d catch his eye. Some particular girls attracted his attention sending him glanses. But one person caught his eye. Though every girl in the club was eating him by their stares, she didn’t even notice his presence when he appeared by her table.
When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
‘Wow! Ah’ve nevere tahsted Strawberry Margarita befahre… Ah should do it more often though…” Empty sixth glass was doubling on the table.
“May Remy join de fun?”
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.
Rogue surprised stared at the guy in front of her. He was tall, swarthy, well-build figure. Dark red hair fell on his sun glasses (sun glasses?).
“Ad don’t dahnce.” She answered bluntly.
“So does Remy.” Answered the weird guy.
“Who is Remy?” Rogue looked around him looking fore ‘Remy’.
He chuckled and sat at the free seat near her.
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
“Remy LeBeau at your service.” He offered a hand for her to shake hers.
“Anna Marie Darkholm,” she answered before she could think, offering her hand, but instead of shaking it, he kissed backside of her hand. She felt the warmth of his lips threw her gloves sending nerve impulses from her hand to all her body…
“Why should such a belle fille be sitting here all alone?”
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
“Enjoy mah loneliness.” Answered Rogue. Her answer must’ve caught hit out of guard and he couldn’t hide his surprised expression that made her uncontrollably laugh.“Sarrah… Ah live in house similar to dormitory and it’s hard to find there place to be in private. An’ what are you doin’ here?”
“Remy came to LasVegas to enjoy the last days of his freedom.”
“Are you going to jail or something?” ‘Rogue! What a stpid questions? Git tha Hell out af here!’
“Non, Remy is getting married in next week.”
This time she was dying laughing for about five minutes.
‘How dare she laughing Remy!’
“Ah Gawd, sarrah…” she said trying to steady her breath. “But you are so weird!” she chuckled.
“Really?” he glared at her but she didn’t see it because of his glasses.
“Well yeah! Young handsome guy ran away to LasVegas to have last breath before his marriage?”
‘Mon Deu! She be laughing again!’
“Ah thought that young people in love come here to get married before their parents could stop them. And Ah didn’t think that in present thimes someone can force people to marriage. And why should you have your sun glasses on? Ah don’t see any sun here…” before he could react, she took off his glasses. He instantly shut his eyes and turned his head away.
‘Merde! What she had done! Now dey all’ll see…’ he felt someone’s hand touch his cheek and turn his head to face her.
“Open your eyes,” he heard her soft southern voice. And he obeyed. And they met. Deep green and red-on-black… Remy hold his breathe both mesmerized by her eyes and scared that she’ll scream, run away scared of his ‘Devil’s’ eyes, but she was seating here, looking at his eyes. “They are amazing…” she breathed out. “They suit you.” She smiled. Remy would everything for those words. In all his life only few people weren’t scared of his eyes. His Blood parents left him in hospital after he was born… The Guild took him in but mostly because of his ‘gift’. But she…
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
“Remy be happy to hear dat, sherie…”
“Do you need something else?” The waitress named ‘Cheesy’ asked them taking away empty glasses.
When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
(2 x)
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.
(2 x)
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
