The door creaked open, it's metal hinges desperately in need of an oiling. She looked around the room. Mystique was right, it was exactly how she'd left it. It was...very pink. She laid Gambit down on the bed and switched on the light. She walked over to the dresser and opened it to find that the clothes were still the way that they had been when she'd hastily packed a small bag and left to join the X-Men. She fingered an old picture of herself with Irene and Raven, and sighed. Moving to the side of the bed, she fished a pack of cards out of Gambit's coat and got ready to play solitare for however long it took him to wake up.

Emma walked into the room slowly and stood by Rogue."Can Auntie Emma talk to you?"Emma asked sitting down in a chair. She tryed to be sympathetic but that wasn't her."I'm sorry about the Cajun"Emma started off.

Rogue looked up at Emma and laughed. "Ah appreciate th' attempt, but ya never did make a good 'good guy.' You're more than welcome t' play some cards with me while Ah wait for the Swamp Rat t' wake up."
She charged one of them, Gambit's powers starting to fade a little bit. "Just don't cheat." She retracted the charge and started to shuffle.

Emma raised her eyebrow at her. "Fine darling, Fine"she said waiting for Rogue to stop shuffling. "Doesn't he use those cards to charge them?" Emma asked."Then how are we supposed to play if a full deck is not there,"she asked raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, but he uses them so fast, he keeps scores of decks in his pockets. This is a new one."
She looked towards the bed and yawned. It had been a long day. But there was no way that she was going to be able to sleep. Especially with Emma in the room. She didn't trust her at all.
"What game?"

Emma shook her head. "No darling, If you want to sleep you can tell Auntie Emma I shouldn't have to pry into that little head of yours"Emma said standing up.

Rogue shook her head. " Ah'm not gonna sleep. Can't risk havin' him wake up while Ah'm out."
Shuffling the cards again, she shrugged. "But if y'all wanna leave, by all means."
With a bit of a frown, she added, "And if you read my mind again, Ah'm gonna rip yours out with mah bare hands."

"Ohh I'm shaking in my boots"Emma said scowling. She sat back down fine darling. "Anyways what I wanted to talk about was what is possesing him and could I help" Emma asked raising an eyebrow knowing she would object.

"Ah have no idea what's posessing him." She crossed her arms and shouted in her mind, and even if i did, i wouldn't tell you. Suddenly, she'd remembered why exactly she hated the woman so much.
"And Ah don't ned your help. If ah did, I'd have asked for it. You may be here now, but remember that this was mah home long before you got here. Ah know this place better than you, Ah have the advantage."

"Oh good for you darling I could really care less"Emma said."But just because you lived here before doesn't mean you have the advantage.Taking the moment while Rogue's mind was open, Emma threw herself into her thoughts and started looking at what had actually happened that day.

Rogue had anticipated the mental strike, and released the barriers that held back the psyches of everyone that she'd absorbed through the years. Through all of the chatter, she doubted that Emma would be able to pick up on her own thoughts and memories. She smiled, despite the fact that she was having trouble keeping herself straight.
"Somethin' that most telepaths Ah know learn real quick... Don't even try t' read mah mind when Ah don't want you to. Even Xavier can't do it. Although you're welcome t' try, it's useless."

Moss poked his face in the door a little. His expression brightened when he saw Rogue, but then dimmed when he saw Emma. he put his tough guy expression back on. he had miss heard Rogues name earlier, so now he called her; "Roja," meaning "red". "Roja, gotta second?"

She craned her neck in the direction of the door and stood up.
"You talkin' t' me?"
She put the walls back up in her mind, reducing the voices in her head to a few elusive ones that refused to follow her commands.

"Si," he said, looking behind him, making sure Mystique wasn't there. "Out here, In private."

She looked at Emma and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"This door ain't gonna keep Emma from listenin' in if she wants to."
She looked at him sternly and crossed her arms. "So what do you want, Planty?"
