"It was," Rogue agreed. Kurt had longed to fit in with the rest of them and she hoped that wherever he was now, he finally felt comfortable in his skin. "But he did like his tail, he used it for all sorts of things like another hand." When he wasn't in one of his somber moods, Kurt had been fun to be around, laughing and joking with the rest of them. Isaac's question brought her out of her memories and she laughed a little. The nicknames were always asked about but she never minded. "Most of the mutants I knew, yeah. Usually the nicknames referenced their power. Storm, Iceman, Pyro, the list goes on. Mine isn't as obvious but it fits and it's more interesting than Marie," she told him, lips quirked up. It was more than a cool sounding name to her but it was just easier to let people think that than to to really explain it.
She scoffed at the look he gave her with a teasing edge to it. It was such an obvious joke that she had to make it at least once around Isaac. Her face brightened when he remembered the movie. "Yeah, it's that one. The sequels weren't too bad either. I wish I still had them, could use a movie night to relax," she said with a hint of longing in her voice. She missed the family she used to have at the school, how could she not, but if she were being realistic, Rogue knew it would be much simpler to find a dvd than the people she had lost. "What do you guys do around here when you have free time on your hands?" With the leviathan threat finally gone, they could actually focus on things that were fun.
Rogue ran her fingers through the white streak in her hair as she thought of the school. "Nothing quite like being with people that understand you, is there?" Her mom and dad hadn't been terrible people but they hadn't been mutants either, just carriers of the gene. Once her ability manifested, the fear they held for her had been all too clear but she didn't blame them. It worked out for the best because it had pushed her to strike out on her own and find a place where she did fit in and belong.
