Snowflakes

By Kathy L

Notes: X-Men Evolution doesn't belong to me or it's creations and won't until I've perfected my paln for world domination. Just to warn you I wrote this in about 30 minutes and it shows. Though it's not much it's not the worst I have ever written and it didn't come out as badly as I though it would. Oh well, onto the fic.

Standing in the lawn nearby the woods the usually solemn mutant only known as Rogue, is gazing into the night sky with wonder as it snows. "Hey Rogue, are you okay?" Kurt aka Nightcrawler asks worriedly as he walks up to her.

"Ah'm fine," she answers gently which scares Kurt out of his mind.

"I think you need to get inside fast! You sound feverish," he excitedly warns her.

Rogue snaps out of her reverie and jots a scowl at the blue imp tugging at her arm. "What tha hell are ya talkin' 'bout? And let go of me!" she snaps at him.

"But Rogue you've been acting all strange today and now you're standing outside vithout even a jacket on. You'll get sick if you don't get varm soon. Ve're all vorried about you."

The southern belle turns away from him and lets a hidden smile shine in her emerald eyes for a brief second. It hasn't been long since she found herself with the X-Men and it's been an even shorter time for her to realize that they really do care even if at times she gets annoyed by it. At times she wishes to yell out to them everything there is about her while at others she's scared to death even speak, so what she says comes out in a whisper," Ya'll don't have ta worry 'bout me. Jus' down in tha South it hardly snows and even when it does it never snows like this." With the last comment she gestures to the layer of white covering the ground all as far as they can see.

"Is that all?" Kurt gaps," I thought it snowed everyvhere in America?"

"Ya're kiddin," she says turning to face him in disbelief. "Don't ya know anything 'bout climates?"

Before he can give an answer Rogue sneezes and the reality of the freezing night air finally hits her. "Ah, never mind, Ah think I need ta get inside."

"Allow me," Kurt beams in all his blue fuzzy glory.

"Go ahead." Rogue takes his hand and allows him to teleport them into the warm living room of the mansion leaving only a cloud of brimstone in the winter's night.
