Homeplot: EMO AFTERMATH

[jamesmadrox]

As a general rule, I had liked Saturdays. But between absorbing Rogue, fending off capekillers, and taking on the Avengers?

I'd like to get rid of Saturdays. Just strike them from the calendar completely. That'd be great.His face was covered in stitches and he was practically mummified with the amount of gauze he had wrapped around his torso.

Rogue hadn't been asleep for a while. She'd been unconscious from early afternoon until almost nine o'clock, when she'd been horribly awoken. Monet had done her best to calm her down, but Rogue was too well fortified against telepathy. So she'd had to cry it out.

It hadn't been fun.

She slipped out of bed and found a wall clock. It was four a.m., a little after, and Rogue knew she had no chance of falling back asleep. For a myriad of reasons, true, but mostly because she could sense Jamie Madrox awake and on the roof. Which was several kinds of disturbing, really. She climbed the stairs, pushed the roof access door open silently, and leaned out. She watched his silhouette for a moment, before stepping out, closing it as quietly as she could behind her, and staying there, legs tucked together, arms behind her back, chin tipped down. It was cooler than she'd expected, in only a sleep shirt, however oversized, and the sleep shorts.

She didn't have a scratch on her.

"Hey," she said, very softly.

He knew when she woke up.

Probably some sort of residual thing from the fact that I'd, oh I don't know, absorbed her like Bounty the Quilted Quicker Picker Upper a couple of hours ago. That's just...strange. At least it's not real. That makes me feel slightly better.

"Hey," he replied, looking like Frankenstein's monster.

She didn't move from the door. She liked leaning against it. She could have ripped it and its foundation off the top of the roof with one hand if she'd wanted to, but somehow having it solid at her back made her feel like she could stand up a little better.

"Guess we've got... stuff, huh."

He looked at her and laughed.

"You're the master of the understatement, aren't you?"
