Zweiundzwanzig - [Action/Voice]

[When Kurt steps out of the tunnel today, he's relieved. It's kind of like being back home, if home was a place where you were at the mercy of scientists and bureaucrats and the subject of weird experiments. But it's got friends and family, so he's still relieved to be here. Not to mention having a sky over him again. It's kind of refreshing to actually be chilly! Although a little sore from two weeks of teleporting, he's content to make his way back home.

... where he'll find out Jubilee is gone. Not to mention that Melanie is still away. It's kind of a bummer on both count. But he keeps his chin high and remembers that he still has friends. Jubilee went back to the X-Men she belongs with, he's with the X-Men he belongs with, and he'll be ready the moment Melanie comes back.

After spending some time getting settled back into the X-House again, he goes out for the evening, looking for some fun to stimulate a Kurt who spent two weeks of fighting and boredom (and people staring at him like a freak). Good Spirits, Cloud Nine, and the Rec Center are all stops this evening for him. A successful mission completed deserves a little celebration, after all.

At some point, he pops open his journal to ask something he's been thinking about. From what he knows of Kotetsu and Pao-Lin's world, it almost seems to have 'mutants' like him. But unlike his world, they seem to have a better lot than mutants in his world do. After two weeks of being stared at like a freak, his own mutation is pretty heavy on his mind. Maybe other worlds are like this too?]


So a lot of us have powers, yeah? How many people were born with them... but only by accident? I don't mean like some kind of magical powers, but something totally random.

And... what do the people of your world think of that?

Ya sure ya want to move in with the girlfriend?

[With the heavy implications of 'What if she became your NOT girlfriend?']

I didn't know you two were that serious.

[Is she teasing? WHO CAN TELL?]

[Well. Rogue's been informed by Melanie that the other girl happens to be in love with Rogue's younger brother. So it sounds plenty serious to her, even if not knowing the particulars of their physical relationship was Just Fine with her.]

All right, all right. Geeze.

[And thus her not actually SAYING anything.]

We've gotta keep a room free for the revolvin' door, anyway.

[Snort.] I'd rather not lay odds on the chump dragged into purgatory. I never thought in a million years Scott would show.

[Though she'd hoped he would. Each and every command decision, she'd hoped he would.]

Mmm. [She starts. Doing something to occupy her somewhere else.]

You sound try an' catch him up. To whatever ya want him to know. I tried but...

[IT DIDN'T GO WELL.]

[Sigh.]

Got up to the part where Risty was Mystique and Mystique adopted me... kinda got off track after that.

[So. Not much.]

[She'd been worried about that, but...]

Actually, he didn't seem too phased by that.

[Rogue is torn between going 'drop it, Kurt' or... finding out if everyone had actually thought this.

She goes for option C: the stall.]


It's not that important.

[...yeah, okay, so. He must be exerting his pressure on some small (gaping) vulnerability in her armor because... okay, she's going to tell him.]

He wanted ta know if I left the X-Men to join up with her.

[With Mystique.]

[Well, that's a relief, and for once everything in her body language reflects that. She even smiles a little, even if it's pained and cracked.]

Guess he was just tryin' ta be understandin'. Ya know, if I had.

[One of these days, Rogue will be able to say something negative about Scott Summers. Today is not that day.

...although she wouldn't have wanted understanding if that had happened. She would have wanted to be dragged back, kicking and screaming if necessary. She wouldn't want to just be - let go.

Easy come, easy go, Rogue. She wants a family, someplace she can belong...

And when it had come down to it, they had come after her.]
