Rogue calls Jean

The next morning, Rogue still felt incredibly paranoid.

That was natural, given her current situation, but she still didn't like it.

It was made worse by the fact that she wasn't sure if she could go to anyone else and try to figure out who broke in.

Mainly because she had no actual evidence.

All she had a was a gut feeling and she was second guessing her own instincts at the moment.

Before she fell asleep that night, she had to call someone about this and, naturally, that someone was going to be Jean.

Not just because she and Scott were Rogue's contacts, but also because she felt like Jean could be a calming **** right now, someone who could either help her figure out who did it or talk her down from her paranoia.

She called up Jean and waited for an answer.

After a few rings she got a response.

"Rogue, what's up?" Jean greeted.

"Ah need some advice." Rogue began.

"Ah think someone might have broken in last night." She said, getting a sigh from Jean.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they did, this group is powerful and I think they're smart enough to be suspicious of any X-man sniffing around them." Jean said.

"It's pretty clear whatever security this place has is worthless." Rogue said.

"God I can't believe we were both blind to this possibility, tell you what, I'll set up a surveillance system and we can record everyone that gets near your apartment if you need me to." Jean said.

Rogue thought about that, perhaps that would work, but she quickly realized there would be a big problem.

Namely there was no way that Flex wasn't gonna be a regular visitor.

She hated to admit it, but there was a definite chemistry between them and she was really looking forward to fucking him again.

Still this was bigger than any potential relationships issues that her little affair might cause.

On the other hand, the **** would be a major problem.

She couldn't avoid using them around Flex and she's pretty sure they'd see on the cam if she was high as a kite when she got home.

She wasn't sure she could hide it from someone who knew her as well as most of the X-Men did.

She was brought back out of her thoughts by Jean asking if she was there.

"Yeah, Shug, Ah'm just thinking about what to do next." Rogue said, getting a murmur of acceptance from Jean.

Rogue quickly realized that there were no good options for her situation, so she had to make the best of a bad situation.

"Maybe we can set something up in my apartment, like a security system that goes direct to me." She pondered.

Jean was confused by this until Rogue explained that the system could be hacked and it could reveal that Rogue was still a part of the X-men, which was the last thing that any of them wanted, but this could help Rogue get the jump on someone.

Jean quickly agreed to her idea and she told her she'd get Cypher to set everything up for her.

Rogue gave her a grateful thanks and ended the phone call with a promise from Jean to follow up with her soon.

She had faith that this would keep out whatever unwanted visitors the Muties sent after her.

Then her burner started to buzz and she saw a message from Flex.

You wanna meet up soon?

Rogue sighed and quickly sent a reply.
