New York. Rogue supposed she had to leave the mansion at some point. It wasn't that she was scared of X showing up again. That was... fine. However, she didn't like leaving the mansion incase her skin came into contact with someone else. It was more likely outside of the mansion. Especially in a city with tons of people. Since her run in with X Rogue had been wearing polo neck tops consistantly. She did not want anyone seeing the scratch X had given. She didn't want anyone to know - for one, they would worry, and two, Logan would drill out what happened out of her. She could not let Logan or anyone else get hurt. If X wanted Logan, then he would have to come through her first. Rogue just hoped maybe that would just put X off because she knew she didn't stand a chance against X in a fight. He had been so huge. So tall. So muscular. If he wasn't so deadly she would find him very attractive. Maybe a small part of her did find him attractive anyway.
Inhaling a deep breath, Rogue gave the cab driver a few notes before getting out. She needed to get more clothes - namely trousers, gloves, and polo necks, hence why she had left the mansion. The cheapest store was funnily enough just outside of New York city. Not too far from Westchester. Still, it did mean a bit of a trip regardless. Getting out of the cab Rogue went over to the store she wanted, pulling her floor length black coat further around her. Not only did she have a black polo neck on, but the collar of her coat was up too. She had a pair of grey trousers on, appropriate length, with a pair of black ankle length boots and grey elbow length gloves. Rogue had left her crimson and white hair down, since it covered more of her skin that way, and she had left it in the usual loose curls she was born with. When she was training though she always straightened it using a straightener. Biting her bottom lip Rogue made her way through the crowd, doing her best to avoid contact with people, as she looked for the clothes she needed to buy.

Ace had been having a boring day when he had smelt a familiar scent, he had the scent of the redhead again, this would be interesting he wondered if she still had his scar on her chest, he wondered if she had told anyone about it, he wondered if she had been able to sleep without fear of him yet, these where questions that brought a smile to his face, this had been so much fun he would emotionally use her to get to Logan, she didn’t matter to him and he could have killed her that night, he could have done anything to her that night, he could have severed her spinal cord and left her paralyzed, he could have raped her over and over until she begged him to kill her, but he would have wanted a constrained Logan to see that, the fact that he couldn’t save her.
Oh how he was enjoying his revenge against Logan and the best thing was as a bonus he had gained a new play toy, someone that he hadn’t even expected to be around but he would show her that he would be the worst thing in the world, he could follow her anywhere. Until he got to Logan then the girl would have to do. He had to admit that he wouldn’t have minded seeing the woman again, she was attractive, he couldn’t help but find her attractive, yet at the same time that wasn’t his primary emotion he wasn’t a lover or even going to rape this woman he wanted to kill and maim all that mattered to Logan and she had been his first target.
Arriving at the store that the woman was in he followed her and got close enough to her that she would hear his voice. “Howdy red,” he said “still got my parting gift or has it left you yet?”

Rogue made her way over to the trousers first. She flicked through them until she found her size and where the trousers' legs went right to her ankles, before picking out two. One in black and the other in grey. Although Rogue was a passionate soul and loved tons of colour, colour would draw attention to herself, which would put more people at risk because of her skin. Rogue was resigned to the fact that dark dull clothing was what she would wear and would make it more safe for everyone else involved. She then made her way to the polo neck tops, selecting four - all long sleeved. Two were black and two were grey. It was as she was putting these in the basket along with the trousers that she heard a familiar voice. X. Just hearing his voice made her shiver. Rogue would declare it was only fear but perhaps a very tiny bit was desire. Not that Rogue would ever admit to such of course.
"Ah don't know what you're talking about."
Rogue denied, not even sure why she was lieing. He would know he had put a scratch on her, and he would know she probably knew as well. It wasn't as if she could have missed it. The scratch didn't bother her. Well, okay, the fact he could have done anything bothered her, but the fact was he hadn't. He had only given her a scratch. What really bothered her when waking up to find her top and bra torn, was that this man had been the first to see her bare skin and more importantly the first man to see and touch her rather womanly curves residing upon her chest. She tried not to look at him or give him more attention then was polite. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of temptation to look at X. Was he as huge as she remembered? God, he had reminded her of a giant. Unable to stand it any longer, Rogue glanced over at X near her. Yep, he looked just as she remembered. Still intimidating.
"Meh name is Rogue. Ah'd appreciate it if you used it if you're gonna call me anything."

Ace smirked when he saw the redhead’s reaction to him, this was going to be fun, the fact that she was scared of him was almost sweet, he got the feeling that she wouldn’t tell anyone what he had already done to her which was disappointing because of the fact that he had hoped that she would have told Logan and he would have leapt into action and hunted him down for having the nerve to out his hands on her. The fact that he hadn’t done that was something that had annoyed Ace, however there was no harm done he would just have to push the envelope even further to get what he wanted.
He knew that there was a lot of people in the store but he had the woman’s scent locked and she wouldn’t escape him he would be able to follow her if she went anywhere and he would wait until she left the store and went wherever she was going to go, he wasn’t going to let her go so easily because of the fact that he was enjoying this whole experience, he hadn’t had such fun in a long time and he had no intention of stopping any time soon because of the fact that the woman didn’t seem to be able to do what he wanted which was tell Logan so that he could carve him up like a Christmas turkey and avenge Deathstryke.
“Really?” he said “because I seem to remember you pretty good Red, specially me you and your choice of underwear, nice choice by the way it was a pity I ripped through it.”

Rogue felt shame flood through her at X's words. Without hesitation she spun around to face him and attempted to slap him around the face. She probably should have thought about this action before actually doing it, but it was an instinct reaction. After all, she was a southern belle. She was raised to be respectable, with manners. It was inappropriate to speak of a person's lingerie, especially when not married to said person. Rogue would not tolerate indecent talk or ill manners. She was raised better then that, and she refused to be treated in any other way. It also didn't help he was still calling her Red despite her asking him to call her Rogue. How could one man be so irritating, and rude. Sure, he may be a bad guy - a villian - but did he have to be so rude? Just because you were aligned with villany - in Rogue's opinion - didn't mean you couldn't use proper manners.
"Ah will not listen to that kind of talk! It is inappropriate. Regardless of what you did or did not see. That sort of talk is for a married couple in the privacy of their own home, neither of which we are."
She told him firmly, the fire in her eyes making it clear that his behaviour on such matters was something she would not tolerate. Despite the fact he scared her. It was a few seconds later she realised she had tried - or managed - to slap him, and immediately withdrew her hand to her side. That definately wasn't a wise thing to do. Rogue did not want to provoke him but her raising had just made her act on instinct. Turning away, she let her hair fall across her face to hide the blush she was wearing - whether it was out of shame or embarassment only Rogue could tell. She bit her bottom lip before moving on to the gloves section. She bought four pairs of gloves - two black, one grey, and one white - before putting them too into the basket. Rogue quickly checked over her items before deciding this was all she needed. She had enough lingerie - and even if she didn't she was not going to buy some with X around.
"And meh name is Rogue, not Red."

"Ah will not listen to that kind of talk! It is inappropriate. Regardless of what you did or did not see. That sort of talk is for a married couple in the privacy of their own home, neither of which we are."
Ace smirked when the young woman had swung at him, he had easily moved out of the way of the blow but he had been happy at what he had achieved, he had been able to push her buttons and she had attacked, that was something he was happy about, this girl had fight in her but that didn’t mean that he gave her a chance, she would still be dead by the time that he was done with her, he didn’t know when it would be but he knew that it would be worth the wait. He had seen the way that she had acted and talked down to him, the girl had balls if he hadn’t have been so surprised he would have hit her hard.
As she walked off he followed her tracking her easily as she went for the gloves, he waited for her to get the gloves that she had wanted before he had approached her attempting to back her towards the display so that she would be trapped between him and the products before he spoke again. “You hurt my feelings ... Rogue first you forget our first meeting and now you act like I am complete stranger, I bet you can’t even remember my name can you?”

Upon hearing footsteps, Rogue swung around to see X approaching her. Within seconds he had backed her up against the glove display. She bit her bottom lip as she noticed she was well and truly trapped. Why did her meetings with him ended up with her being trapped, and his body pushed up against hers? She didn't understand it. She had never had this much trouble before. She forced herself not to roll her eyes when he mentioned she had hurt his feelings. It would do no good to behave that way with him. X had already proven he could do whatever he liked to her and her body. She was not going to make it any worse for herself or provoke him to do worse. No. She would only stand up for manners and such. Anything else would be too risky. She needed to be nice - not just because that was who she was - but she had always been taught 'kill them with kindness'. Surely being nice would get this guy not to hurt her? Rogue could only hope.
"Ah remember our meeting, ah just don't remember any gift. Did you send flowers? Ah've never gotten flowers before... Ah hear that flowers are more of a romantic gift though, and ah doubt you're around to court me... so it can't have been that. Oh, and for your information ah do remember the name you gave me. It probably isn't your real name, but ah do remember it, X."
Rogue responded, hoping the fact she was in a public place would also keep X from doing anything she would end up regretting. Rogue had almost forgotten how tall this guy was. She had to tilt her head back quite a way just to look into his eyes. She really did feel like a dwarf compared to this guy. He probably didn't even need to use any weapon to kill her. He could just lay on top of her and smother her that way. His size reminded her of Sabertooth a little. She hadn't seen Sabertooth in ages, but what she did remember was that he was taller and slightly more muscular then Logan. That, and he appeared to her a hell of a lot hairier, and Logan had quite the muscular chest. Rogue could remember having quite the crush on Logan, but after he ended up crushing on Jean Rogue had forced herself to get rid of such feelings. She still couldn't help but notice that although Bobby was such a nice guy he didn't make her skin tingle like Logan had. Rogue knew it was because Logan had this primal spirit about him, and she just seemed to really like that in a guy. That, and Rogue tended to prefer men to boys. Unfortunately Rogue had accepted the fact she wasn't ever going to have that sort of relationship with a guy. After all, what man would want to be in a relationship with a girl he couldn't touch?

Ace had to admit that the girl had an attitude that he liked but that didn’t mean that he was going to let her live because of it, it just meant that he would continue to play this game with her, the fact that he seemed to have gotten under her skin and had scared her was something that he liked he just hoped that he had been able to continue that with her after all when she stopped being scared of him he would most probably lost interest in her and killed her, however whilst he was still having fun with her then he would continue his game with her.
Ace then moved closer to her and brushed some of her hair out of her face so that he could look down at her younger features, if he was younger, less messed up and not hell bent on killing Logan he might have been attracted to the young woman but there was too many factors within that, however who knew what would happen after he killed Logan.
“How about I look if you still have my gift myself?” he said touching the edge of her coat to see if she would scream for help or if she would simply try and push him away,

Rogue found herself frozen to the spot as X brushed some hair from her face. If she didn't know how evil - for the lack of a better word - this man was then that would have been a rather sweet gesture. She really did not want him touching her. Well, for the most part. He may be attractive but he terrified her. She managed to unfreeze herself when he mentioned seeing the gift for himself and touching her coat. Without hesitation she slapped at his hand, before holding her coat even tighter around herself. She was not going to let him or anyone else see her bare skin. At least, not when she was concious at least. When she was unconcious... Well, if she had to selotape her clothes to her body before hand then that was what she would do. She glared at him, finding herself unable to back down from this matter.
"Have you not realised yet that, that kind of talk was inappropriate! Do ah have to try to slap you again for you to get that message!"

Ace smirked when she slapped his hand away she was continuing to prove that she had the ability to protect herself and more to the point she wasn’t going to let him scare her and she would fight him off if she had to, he could respect that but that didn’t mean that it was going to stop him it would just mean that he was going to have to try a different method if he was going to change his methods in how he got to her.
“Ok,” he said changing his tactic and making it look like he was going to back off, “I just wanted you to tell Logan about what I have already told you, the fact I don’t have him trying to kill me yet suggests that you haven’t.”
OOC: he could be in the taxi with her when she leaves as an idea?

"Of course ah haven't! You said you're gonna kill him. Why on earth would ah tell Logan you're gonna kill him? Besides, ah told you, you leave him alone, and ya can do whatever ya like with or to me. Within reason. Ah don't want Logan hurt."
Rogue responded, realising now how stupid she sounded saying she'd trade places with Logan only to say within reason. Shaking her head she sighed deeply.
"What ah mean is, ya can do anything but rape me... Ah may be sacrificing meh self, but ah won't have my body mutilated internally. If ahm gonna die, then ahm gonna die with my innocence intact."
She explained, not really caring she was telling a bad guy she was a virgin. It wasn't as if she couldn't be a virgin. Her power made sure of that. With that explained she ducked underneath X's arms and headed over to the nearest till. She paid for her clothing and grabbed the shopping bag they were put into. With her bag in hand she made her way through the store and flagged down a cab. She sighed in relief as a cab stopped infront of her. Rogue glanced around briefly to see where X was, but couldn't see him, so she got into the cab.
[ ooc: sure! =3 ]

Ace grinned at her comments about protecting Logan and the fact that she was a virgin, he wouldn’t have cared if she was a virgin or not if he had wanted to rape her he doubted that there would have been something that she would have been able to stop him in the first place. As she ducked out of the way under his arm he left the store, he knew that he had to get a cab and fast because of the fact that he was going to kidnap her as she hadn’t done what he had wanted so he was going to force the hand of herself and people that might have cared about her.
Going outside he pulled a guy out of a cab and jammed his claws through his head killing him before pulling up to where Rogue flagged him down before she had realised who it was. When she spoke he decided to lull her into a false sense of security and changed his voice.
“Where to little lady?” he said in a fake new Yorker accent.

"Xavier's Institute for Gifted People, Westchester, please."
Rogue responded softly, feeling a little wierd that X had disappeared. Then again he had disappeared in their last meeting - but she had been unconcious at the time so that couldn't be helped. She frowned a little. Was it wierd she felt more scared when he was absent then when he was around her? Rogue told herself it was probably because it was safer to have him around where she could see him then for him to not be there. Shrugging it off she forced herself to try and relax. She sat back deeper in the seat and closed her eyes as she inhaled then exhaled. Maybe he had gotten the hint and left? Rogue couldn't help but hope that was true and that X had seen the error of his ways. She had a nagging feeling though that it was definately not the case. Running a hand through her hair, Rogue couldn't help but realise she had never felt this wound up and fustrated. She just wished she had some kind of outlet.

Ace continued to drive making it look like she was going to be going to be going to the destination that she had wanted to go to, he just wanted her to believe that she was safe and that she was in no danger when in fact it couldn’t be further from the truth as she was in a car with him and she was in no way of being safe with the fact that she didn’t even realise that it was him in the cab with her. Turning off down a road away from towards the school he spoke.
“I know a shortcut,” he said locking the doors “there is too much traffic red.”
OOC: sorry it's short

"Okay."
Rogue responded softly, her head tilted back against the head rest and eyes closed. She didn't care how she got home as long as she got there. It was about a minute or two later she realised what the cab driver had said. Well, more specifically, what he had called her. Rogue sat bolt up right as she stared at the back of the cab driver's head. She didn't have to see his face to know it was X. How the hell had he even gotten a cab and at such short notice? She didn't even want to think what he did with the real cab driver who owned this car. She glanced at her lap and did her best to pretend she didn't know it was X. Rogue subtly glanced out the windows. She would have to open the door and jump. Risk it. Well, that was what she should do. She couldn't say that it was something she wanted to do one hundred per cent - and not just because she'd end up getting hurt doing it. Biting her lip she reached a hand out and jiggled the door handle. To her horror the doors were locked. Not good.
"Um, can we stop here for a second? I just need to get something at that garage station."
Rogue asked softly. She didn't need anything at the garage station but he didn't know that.
