"How come ya waited until Ah absorbed someone else tah visit meh?" She asked, her legs wobbling as she struggled to get up. That crazy blond had a lot of memories. Magic, huh? Freaky.
"The big guy and Gambit were having an eat off."
"Really?" No wonder the Cajun took so long to bother her.
"Yeah. And then, after Gambit puked, the Blob faced off in a twinkie eating contest with Hank." And then Remy visited her after brushing her teeth.
"And then we heard someone scream. They're actually on their way down. I took the stairs." The mansion had even more stairs?
A loud BAMF! sounded and Rogue coughed from all the smoke that was suddenly in the room.
"Kurt! What did Hank tell ya about bamfin' intah the MedLab!?"
"Sorry, mein schwester (did I spell that right?)! But I heard you screaming!"
"That wasn't her screaming," Pietro put his hands on his hips and scoffed, "That was the blond girl unconscious on the floor. Sheesh, someone needs a new pair of ears."
"Are you okay?" Kurt asked in concern, leading his sister back to the cheap metal bed she spent the majority of her time lying on.
"Rogue, are you, like, okay? We heard someone scream." Kitty interrupted, rushing into the MedLab with the majority of the mansion.
"Mary Kale tried tah steal mah Amulet of Power." It really was called the Amulet of Power. Kinda stupid. The author needs to be way more creative then that.
"Mary Kale? That's her name?" Wanda sneered, trying to stop herself from laughing. The Scarlet Witch did not laugh.
"How did she get in?" Bobby asked, looking at her low-cut spandex outfit.
"She turned into some big shadow monstah.. She calls it..." She racked through the girls memories, "Being one with umbra. Dang, that girl's a walkin' Latin translator." And her sister was a sorceress named Jennifer Kale.. But they didn't need to know that.
"Wait..." Pietro trailed off, "Amulet of Power?"
"Yeah. It's an amulet that taps into yo' abilities, dormant or not, and amplifies them in order to protect you." And in her case, neverturns them off. Realizing that Mystique wasn't full of bull, she stared at the 'amulet' on her wrist.
"Wait, that dope little bracelet you've been hanging onto for forever is the amulet of power, yo?" Said the gangster Toad.
He's gonna take it! Attack!
Don't be stupid, She thought to her psyches, wondering what they were getting at.
But it protects you!
Ah can take him down mahself if he chooses to be an idiot and attack meh, so shaddup.
And they did.
"Apparently. Irene gave it to meh a week befo' mah powers manifested, as if the fact that Ah own it wasn't creepy enough."
"Y' one lucky femme den, eh chere? An Amulet o' Power t' protect y'." Remy smirked, leaning against the wall. It was a big leap up for him, usually he just leaned against doorways.
"Right. Lucky." Rogue nodded, not even bothering to come up with a response to how lucky she was. Why was everyone still here, anyway?
As she thought that, everyone excluding her usual three stalkers and the Brotherood (though they were stalkers also) left, knowing whatever excitement there was was now gone.
"Then what are you, like, going to do with it, then?"
"Who cares about that, what are we going to do with the body?" Lance scoffed.
"Well, like, sorry if I'm worried about even more powerful guys trying to kill us all for that bracelet."
Oh, shit. Lilith.
"Do y'all know anythin' about vampires?" She asked, leaning against her cheap little bed instead of lying down on it. She had enough bedrest already.
"Why do you ask?" Of course, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch would be the one who knew everything of the supernatural.
"No reason."
"Rogue," Kurt asked in his thick German accent, "Are you hiding something from us?"
"Nah," She twiddled her thumbs and considered smiling. They all knew her too well.
Damn. They're onto us!
Charge!
Her body lurched forward beyond her control and she felt the psyche's powers take over her, feeling things spark from her without her consent.
"Alla ya git outta here!" She warned as bright blue bolts flew with her hand as her fist sailed right for Kitty who stood stock still, "Phase, stupid! Phase!"
A white blur saved Kitty, who was apparently too shocked to move.
"Get Logan! The proffesah, Chuck Norris, anyone!" This was worse then when her powers lost control the first time. She was using all her psyches powers at once. They no longer cared who had control of her body, they just wanted anyone near her to suffer.
"Rogue! What the hell is going on!" She couldn't be bothered to see who she was attacking, who was yelling, she just wanted to stop herself.
"How the hell should Ah know?" She roared before punching the ground, doing a more direct impersonation of Lance. Only instead of sending tremors through the ground, the floorboards seemed to explode from her strength.
Sonic boom, the blond bitch's most affective move.
"Mon chere, relax." Hands grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look into red and black eyes. Glowing eyes.
She felt the voices quiet and couldn't bring herself to smile.
Sleep.
Professor?
Darkness overcame her.
Author's Note: I am really sorry it took me so long to update. I don't know why, but there was an extreme writers block when it came to this plot. So, hopefully, I can start updating regularly again. Thank you, RosieLEK, for reminding me that this story actually exists.
Why do I keep forcing all the main characters to pass out? Eh, it's a good chapter break atleast.
