No one's POV

"we're ready"

Magneto, the seer and the Phoenix all turned to look at the exotic blue women standing in the grey metal doorway.

"I really do wish I didn't have to do this, Pyro is like a son to me" Magneto sighed,

"yes and you would have him killed in the blink of an eye to save your own skin" Jean said with a harsh edge in her voice as she backed out of the office .

"you better hurry up, my master wants it done soon" the young seer muttered in a sweet childlike voice and she gently twirled around as if dancing with an unseen friend. Magneto's brows pulled together into a frown,

"what does Emma want done soon?"

"the execution of the Pyromaniac" she answered with a flinch worthy giggle, Magneto and Mystique exchanged a wary glance.

"and why does Emma want young Pyro to be executed?"

"because he is a threat to the Hellfire club, my vision predicts so"

…...

No One's POV

Jean Grey pushed the large, heavy metal door open and walked with almost silence steps into the tiny, poorly lit room. The harsh smell of rust and smoke filled her nose immediately, her hazel eyes flickered around seeing a complete bloody mess and in the middle of it all was John. His arms were tightly locked in chains that hung from the ceiling, his feet were tied with some sort of thick rope and his shirt had been discarded to one of the corners of the room. She inhaled slightly at his muscular chest that covered in painful looking cuts and bruises and his face though uninjured looked pain struck, whoever had done this to him had obviously taken great enjoyment in inflecting his agony. Jean took a deep breath he would be fine, it was just too easy to think of him as the young attention seeking boy she had taught science to back at the mansion.

"what do you want" coughed Pyro tiredly

"your going to be released soon"

"yeah and then I'll be off to my death for I don't know what, at the hands of fucking Calliso knowing my luck"

"no you won't. war is coming soon and we'll all have to play our part, even you and me, just I won't be myself" the Phoenix said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"huh?" John said with exasperation

"I can feel Jean clawing her way back into consciousness, I can't fight her off for much longer"

"I'm about to be killed, do you really think I give a fucking dam about you and your screwed up muti-personally disorder!" John laughed in disbelief. The Phoenix practically growled at him and her eyes flooded an inky black while dark veins spread rapidly across her skin,

"DO NOT TALK DOWN TO ME!" she hissed in a voice far from her own "your little Rogue is next door, I'd be careful about what you say if I were you or you'll never see a hair nor hide of her again". All the life drained out of John's face,

"what's Rogue doing here?" he asked

"don't worry Pyro, little miss untouchable will be released soon" then a sick smirk pulled at the Phoenix's full lips "but she's not so untouchable anymore is she?"

Pyro's eyes widened "how d.."

"how do I know?" she finished for him "well you'd be surprised what I do know"

"do you know how I'm able to touch her?" John asked with curiosity

She smiled "your mutation is offensive which is very common, her mutation is defensives which is less common. Her mutation takes what it needs from others and protects her from what her subconscious see as a threat or as a danger, and for some reason it no longer see you as either nor does it need anything from you or your mutation"

Jean who was now looking a lot more like her self, sighed sadly "look John, the reason you were put in here is that, that god awful seer had a vision about you and Rogue that was unfortunately misunderstood. However very soon Magneto will realize that, and you both will be released"

"what was the vision about? And what makes Mags think that I won't burn his ass to the ground for chaining me up in the first place!"

"Magneto believed that the vision meant, you and Rogue would be the cause of the destruction of the brotherhood, and you won't 'burn his ass to the ground' because a war far greater that any the world has seen is on our doorstep, and you will help him and lead his army into battle"

John rolled his eyes "yeah I get it, big bad war on it way. What does the vision actually mean?"

"it means that because of your attachment to Rogue, you will nearly cause the complete destruction of the hell fire club, the united xmen and brotherhood and" jean paused to take a deep breath "the death of Rogue. Magneto won't find this out until it is too late"

Flashback

John opened his eyes he couldn't sleep, too much had happened in the last 24 hours from the mansion getting attacked, to Rogue using her mutation against him - which he was still pissed off about. Plus his tent was boiling and he was sweating buckets. He laid flat on his back with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face. The tent was a small roundish dome in navy blue and a slivery grey and the inside was stuffed with similar coloured sleeping bags, pillows and the odd thick blanket. The tent also provided a medium sized camping lamp, that he had put on in the corner. He cursed under his breath when a shadow was cast at the opening of his tent and he considered burning the intruder to nothing more than an ashy crisp, but then that might be considered hostile and then Storm would put him in anger management classes again, that is if they ever got back to the mansion. The zip at the front of the tent was gently pulled open and Rogue stepped uncertainly inside before doing it back up,

"what the fuck do you want?" John growled without looking at her,

"my tents next to Bobby's and it's freezing" she said quietly

"yeah well it's a 400 degree hell in here, and that's coming from a guy who like the heat"

Rogue bit her lip to hide her smile "well I grew up in Mississippi I like the heat too". John raised an eyebrow at her statement, and she blushed at the double meaning.

"why are you here?" he asked sitting up, and she swallowed loudly before saying

"at Bobby's parents house…" .

he rolled his chocolate eyes "don't even start coz I swear to the God I don't believe in I'm not in the mood for this crap"

"you did it to protect me"

John's jaw dropped and he stared at her as if she had just said pigs were gunner fall from the sky.

"and don't even try to deny it, when I touch people I get some of their memories, thoughts and feelings, whatever is most dominate on their mind at the time" Rogue said with confident , he opened and shut his mouth a couple of times but nothing came out before he managed to croak

"what?"

"you saw them shot Logan for no reason and you thought they would shot me, you wanted to protect me that's why you did it. That and a few other things, but that was the main reason"

"maybe I was just trying to justify what I was doing by thinking I was protecting some one"

she looked down at her hands feeling a lot less confident "maybe but I think I would have seen that you were trying to do that, and I don't understand even if that is true why I was the one you thought of to protect, not that I'm saying you would do it for Bobby but maybe yourself or because you were scared" Rogue continued to mumble on.

John didn't know what came over him, maybe it was because she was right his main reason for fighting off those cops was to protect her, or maybe it was for the simple fact that he thought she was cute when she mumbled, he pressed his lips against hers.

He wasn't sure what shocked him more the fact that her mutation didn't kick in, or that after a few seconds she started to kiss him back. His tongue flicked along her swollen lips and she shuddered and granted him the access he sought. She expected to be revolted as she had been when Cody had first properly kissed her ( Bobby had never ventured further than a little too long for comfort peck), but instead as his tongue expertly stroked hers, flames flickered to life, warming her insides . Groaning at the surprising warmth of her, John wrapped his arms around her small waist and eagerly lifted her up onto his lap and She wrapped her legs around him instinctively while running her fingers through his soft brown hair. his slow, sensuous plundering of her mouth shook her, draining all the strength from her limbs and she wanted nothing more than to be in his warm hold forever. Rogue let out an involuntary moan of pleasure as he began to trail butterfly kiss along her jaw line and down her neck while his hands slipped to the hem of her t-shirt and with a nod from her, John lifted it over head before gently laying her back against the sleeping bag and blankets. After that, all thoughts of Rogue's mutation, of Bobby ,or of the fact that a wide awake Logan was in his tent opposite John's, escaped their minds.

Next chapter up soon, please review and tell me what you think.
