Thread: Rogue + Logan Characters: Anna Raven and James Howlet NPCs: -- Timeline: Sunday, February 6, 1976 - morning Location: Rogue's apartment about the XQ, Mutant Town, NYC Description: Day 1 of being dumped and Rogue isn't feeling much better, luckily Logan decides to pop in for a surprise visit. Rating: PG?
It had been a rough night, to say the least. Rogue hadn't taken Piotr's news, that he had dumped her, more or less, well. It was a bitter pill to swallow, to be sure. He was the first person that was able to touch her without any adverse effects since her powers first manifested more than a decade ago. And the first person who had touched her in any kindly way in the last four. She had done like he said and kept their relationship, whatever it was, under wraps, which certainly didn't make the fact no one knew he had rejected her any better. She still knew and she would still be alone and it had hurt.
Not wanting to ruin one of her busiest nights he had waited until after last call evening last. It wasn't a good situation no matter which way you sliced it and while she was dog tired from working all day and being on her feet all night, she found that she just couldn't get to sleep, not with all of her wheels spinning. And so, she stayed up in her apartment, not bothering even with her nightly chores, drinking by herself.
She woke up the next morning cold and stiff, having fallen asleep in at the kitchen table, slouched back against an old wood chair, to the sound of a motorcycle engine rumbling outside not too far away. She looked down at her hand which was atrophied with sleep vaguely clasped around a bottle, before noticing her bones were creaking just as much as that old chair.
