Life seemed to be in kind of a rut for Rogue, but in a way, that was actually fine with her.
She craved stability, given the unstable nature of her life, but still, some excitement was always needed for a superhero.
And the person at the front door was about to bring more excitement into her life than she could ever imagine.
She opened the door and found herself face to face with the Corruptor.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"Of course you can." He said, reaching out to shake her hand, she quickly turned his offer of a handshake down.
"Sorry, not much for handshakes." She muttered.
"I'd imagine not...given your powers." He responded.
Rogue had been around long enough to know that it was a bad sign whenever someone she'd never met before knew about her powers.
"Who are you?" She asked him.
"Truth is, I think that's a question far more suited for you, Rogue." He responded.
Her mind was reeling from that response.
She'd always prided herself on her confidence, and yet it was like he'd sent that confidence into a tailspin in seconds.
"What..what do you mean?" She asked him, confusion suddenly full in her voice.
"I
mean your powers clearly make you untouchable...but you love wearing
revealing clothes, look at you right now: in a halter top and daisy
dukes, I think you want to be touched." He said.
She looked down at her outfit and realized that he was making a lot of sense.
"Let me show you what I'm talking about." He stated as he reached out and grabbed her breast through the thin cloth.
Rogue
wanted to fight back, but it felt good to her, his power rapidly
corrupting her and molding her into what the Corruptor wanted her to be.
Her head was swimming.
She never wanted this touch to end, clothed or not.
"I also think you want to be touched by someone specific...and it's not Gambit." He responded.
That
should have shook her out of her daze, the fact that he knew about her
relationship with Gambit should have set off even more alarms, but
instead she found herself agreeing with him.
"Maybe you want a leader, someone with the kind of power you're attracted to." Once again, she found herself agreeing with him.
"Someone like Scott, maybe your powers were already under your control, you just didn't want anyone but Scott to touch you."
She had always been attracted to him, so it made sense.
Then he crept his hand down into her daisy dukes, finding no panties.
He was thankful that his powers were doing such a number on her, which meant he could give her control of her powers.
As he preached to her, she felt like she was teetering just on the edge between guilt and pleasure and it was driving her mad.
At
first she felt guilt over what was basically the disintegration of her
relationship with Gambit both due to his enjoying her body and the truth
that was coming out of his mouth.
By the time she came, however, that guilt was totally gone and she felt like a new person.
"Now Rogue, how are you feeling." He asked, as she gathered herself after their encounter.
"Better
than ever....Scott's gonna be mine real soon and nothings gonna stand
in my way." She said as she took off for her room so she could begin
planning to make Scott hers.
For The Corruptor it was a case of one down and many more to go.
