Brick By Boring Brick (Bobby/Pyro/Charlie)

Rogue walked into the Dirty Chain and winced. The Dirty Chain was a club/ bar that a lot of human mutants her age went into. Why was she even here? There were so many people her that she could possible have contact with. She wore dark green opera gloves that went up to her sleeves. Her outfit consisted of a pearl color tank top and see-through dark green cardigan and a pair of skinny jeans with sneakers. She had to make sure she covered every part of her body. She started walking through the crowd, as people bumped into her, she winced but there was no absorption. Half-heartedly, she smiled.

She could actually relax no matter how many people were here. She hadn't felt like this since she got her powers. Up a head she heard arguing from a familar British girl. Rogue smiled as she saw Charlie arguing with a bouncer which was actually a little unlike her. Charlie didn't usually argue with normal people when she could use her powers. Perhaps the girl was bored, Rogue didn't know. "Hey" Rogue said behind Charlie but she had yet to hear her. "Hey!" She said louder over the music as Charlie turned towards her and smiled. Rogue returned her smile full on, excited for John and Bobby to show up.

"Seriously?! Let us in, we want to see the band.." Charlie lied. Tonight, one of Charlie's favorite bands were in town at the Dirty Chain. Paramore! She absoultely fancied them! But the bouncer was having a little toruble letting them inside. She had texted her friends and told them to meet her here but she doubt Rogue would show. There were a lot of people, even with the gloves that Charlie had taken the time to buy her. The band was not performing yet and Charlie just had to see them. Behind her, she heard a tiny voice but was barely paying attention to anyhting else but this crazy, tall bouncer. She heard the voice get louder and turned to see Rogue standing behind her. She smiled and hugged her, hard. "You came! I didn't think you would, love...Is John here yet?" She asked looking over Rogue's shoulder. Charlie had a major crush on John and Bobby was more like her older brother. At least he was back then.

The song switched to a fast beat and Charlie held up on finger to Rogue and turned to the bouncer. They were just staring at each other, Charlie was working her magic. Don't you remember what you boss said? she asked him implanting memories of his boss telling him that a group of four would be allowed to see the band. "Charlie? Anna-Marie?" The bouncer asked liek they were old frineds from college. "Yeah! It's us, dude..." Charlie said with a mockingly american accent. The bouncer didn't catch it. She smiled as he hugged her, she still implanting memories about how good of friends they all were. He walked over to Rogue "Hey! Haven't seen you since '01. How's your mother?" He asked. Charlie looked at Rogue and tossed her eyebrows. "She's fine..." Rogue said. "I'll be right back..." Charlie said and ran to the backstage to see the band. Don't forget about tonight.. Charlie said tot hem and they all nodded.

Oh yeah, she definately had a plan for this concert. She ran back to Rogue and grabbed her hand before blowing a kiss over her shoulder at the bouncer. Charlie ran onto the dance floor as a waiter came over to them and gave them drinks and even people in the crowd moved out of their way. "I have them all under my command..." Charlie smiled showing off. The song switched again and she got big eyes. She loved this song! She took Rogue's hand as the two BFF's danced with each other, waiting on their guys.

"Who calls his club Dirty Chain?" John mused while he and Bobby walked from the car they had just parked to the entrance of the club. "I mean, come on, it sounds like some gay bar for leather guys..." He looked at his best friend, then suddenly smirked. "I guess maybe that's the idea... so no 'normal' people walk in accidentally..." It was a mutant club after all. Still, another smile crept on his face when he imagined the disappointed faces of some real gay leather guys after getting in, realizing it wasn't what the name seemed to promise.

They approached the bouncer now. "Hey Randy, how is it hanging?" Pyro asked him with supreme coolness in his voice. The fire mutant was a regular here and knew the bouncers well enough, all four of them. They exchanged a complicated hand gesture as greeting, then Randy let them pass without so much as a second look at Bobby. "Any idea why Charlie wanted us to come specifically tonight?" He shot his friend a quick questioning look, then suddenly discovered the girl with Rogue further back. "Oh, there they are", he said with a nod in their direction. "What do you think, how hard will the girl hit on me this night?" he asked Bobby before slowly moving towards them.

Charlie had a major crush on him, that was pretty obvious. And usually, John enjoyed using such crushes to his advantage but in this case... it was just too much fun to watch her work and pretend to be clueless. He could always go for it at some point later, it was not that she was running away any time soon, right?
