Chapter 3
As Gabriel and Rogue left the study he asked Rogue if she’d like a ride
to school.
“Sure, I’ll be ready in fifteen minutes. Just wait for me in the front
foyer”.
As Rogue walked away, Gabriel teleported himself to the room the
professor assigned to him while he stays there. He looked around the
room then sat down on the edge of the bed thinking about how long he
should keep up this false identity. He then went downstairs passing
Amara and Bobby on the way down.
Gabriel stood in the front foyer next to the staircase. Kurt entered the
room with his holo off and went over to Gabriel.
“You must be new here, my name is Kurt Wagner also known as
Nightcrawler. Is that your car parked out front, cause it’s cool”?
“Yeah that’s my car, it’s a Pontiac Banshee. My name is Gabriel Cardaro.
I don’t have a codename, yet”.
Kurt and Gabriel talked about their powers and Kurt told him about the
general routine that goes on. Just than Rogue walked in “Ya ready to go?”
“Yeah lets go, I’ll talk to you later Kurt. Nice to meet you”
At this time all the students of the mansion were gathered waiting for a
ride to school. When Rogue and Gabriel walked out front Gabriel said
“I’m over there”. When Rogue saw the car that he pointed at she said
“How can you afford something like that”?
“Oh I have my ways” Gabriel smirked at her surprise.
“Can you let me drive? I’ve never driven something that high class before”.
“Yeah I guess, if she’ll let ya.” He handed Rogue the keys. As they got
in the car the windows undarkened. Rogue was amazed when she saw the
dashboard totally decked out with buttons and displays. As Rogue found
the ignition and turned the key, nothing happened.
“Great! All these electronics killed the battery” she said.
“Gabriel would you kindly tell this female to remove her hands from my
wheel”
“The car talks!” Rogue said surprised.
“Wonderful deduction, I bet she can even tell how many tires I have too”
Stormshadow said sarcastically.
“Cool it Stormshadow! Go ahead and let Rogue drive, she can be trusted”.
Rogue tried the key again, this time the engine came to life. “Who or
what is Stormshadow”?
Gabriel was about to answer but Stormshadow answered first. “My name is
Stormshadow, I am the voice for this vehicle’s computer, I am the
prototype of the car of the future”.
As they approached the school’s parking lot Gabriel asked Rogue if she’d
like to watch a movie at the drive in later after school.
“Well…I don’t know. Ah what the hell, I’ll go with you tonight.” Rogue
didn’t know why she said yes. She’d usually find an excuse to get out of
these situations, but with him it seemed different like she knew him
from the past.
“Ok we’ll go after dinner around eight. Is that alright with you” he
asked pleased that she agreed to go.
Rogue parked the car and turned off the engine. “Sure, fine eight is ok”.
They got out of the car and walked into the school. In the lobby Duncan
and his friends were standing next to the hall that led in the direction
of Rogue and Gabriel’s locker. As Gabriel and Rogue walked past Duncan
and his cronies Duncan followed them down the hall.
“Hey skunk head I wasn’t finished talking to you yesterday. Hey I’m
talking to you bitch” Duncan said with a sneer.
Before anyone knew what was going on Gabriel turned around grabbed
Duncan and slammed him into the lockers. “You fucking piece of gutter
trash! I’d suggest if you don’t want the shit to really hit the fan you
better leave Rogue alone.”
Duncan struggled against Gabriel’s grip but couldn’t break free. “FUCK YOU”.
“No, FUCK YOU!” Starting to draw a crowd Gabriel let him loose and
walked back to Rogue. “Let’s get to class before that jackass Duncan
does something he’s going to regret.”
“What the fuck was that, I can take care of myself. Ya just made things
worse” Rogue snapped then walked away from him.
The rest of the day at school went without incident. Gabriel drove Rogue
back to Xavier’s school and parked in the garage.
“You son of a bitch! How dare you cheat on me” Amara yelled as Bobby ducked out of the way from Amara’s fist.
“I told you she’s just a friend”.
“Lying bastard! That’s not what I saw. I saw the two of you holding hands and kissing” she said while pointing an accusing finger at Bobby. Amara’s hands flamed up and quickly went out. “Now get the hell out of my room before I burn you”.
“Can’t we talk about this” Bobby pleaded.
“No! Now get the fuck out” she yelled while pointing toward her open door. As Bobby left she called him an asshole.
Shortly after six PM as Gabriel was walking from the dining room Rahne stopped him. Feeling a little nervous about asking the new student Gabriel for a favor “I heard you and Rogue are going to the drive-in.” Raking her fingers through her hair she asked “Can me and Jamie tag along? I already asked Scott and he said no, something about Jean and him going somewhere later”.
“I talked to Rogue just before dinner we’re not going to the drive-in cause it’s supposed to rain”. Rahne frowned and was about to turn away but decided to listen to him till he was finished saying what he was going to say. “But she agreed to go to the mall instead. If you and Jamie would like to go to the mall I’m sure Rogue wont mind I certainly wont mind”.
“Ok I’ll go tell Jamie. What time are we leaving here”?
“Seven thirty” Gabriel answered back.
And with that Rahne bounded off to find Jamie. Gabriel looked at the clock it was about six fifteen. “Cool I have enough time to go to the ship and get Rogue’s surprise” he thought to himself as he teleported himself to the ship. He didn’t know how she would react to the gift he is going to give her but decided to take a chance quoting a Feringi rule of acquisition “The riskier the road the greater the profit”. He went to the replicator and ordered the item he was working on a few nights ago.
The item was a laptop computer. It looked like a regular laptop on the inside and outside but was really using 24th century technology on the inside. Then he replicated some blank Isolinear Optical data chips that looked like regular flash memory sticks and would work on other machines too. The operating system is hardwired into the system itself and when booted looked like Windows XP but was really using the LCARS system at the core and voice recognition artificial intelligence like the ships computer has. The only other thing that looked different was the keyboard area. Instead of being a regular keyboard it used a touch plate similar to the touch plates you’d find on a 24th century terminal. Finally he replicated the standard user’s manuals and software CDs you’d usually find with a computer. Then he packed it all into a box marked with a wolf head logo in the center.
Gabriel checked the time and found it to be seven twenty. “Oh shit I got to go”. Gabriel first teleported to the garage where his car was and put the package in the back seat on the drivers side keeping in mind that Rahne and Jamie are going to be sitting in the back seat too, so he covered the box with a dark navy-blue blanket he kept in the trunk.
When Gabriel entered the front hall he saw Rogue, Rahne, Jamie, and Amara. Gabriel paid no mind to Amara being there and when he asked the others if they were ready they acknowledged him.
“I want to go to. I have some things I have to do at the mall” Amara requested.
“Well ok lets go” Gabriel said.
Logan and Ororo were walking through the room passed the group just as they were leaving “Where do you think you are all off to this evening” Ororo asked.
“To the mall” Gabriel replied
“Does everyone have a cell phone in case of trouble” Logan asked
Everyone nodded Gabriel said “There’s one built into my car”.
“Gabriel you’re new here so take this gift card to the Cricket dealer in the mall and buy yourself a cell phone to keep on your person” Logan said handing Gabriel the gift card.
As the five walked out Ororo called out “Drive safely”.
They were on there way as soon as Gabriel moved the covered box from the back seat to the trunk.
On the way to the mall they were talking among themselves about nothing in particular. Gabriel decided to introduce Stormshadow to the group. Rogue really didn’t pay attention to him talking about the car’s AI. There were some general questions some directed at Stormshadow and some directed at Gabriel. As they pulled into the mall parking lot it was pouring down rain, so Gabriel drove in front of the main doors to the food court and asked Stormshadow to find a parking space after they get out and he retrieves the box from the trunk. Stormshadow acknowledged his request and went to find a parking space after they all got out and Gabriel got the box from the trunk.
Gabriel was the last one to get inside the mall’s food court. Rahne and Jamie walked off in a different direction then Amara. Gabriel and Rogue stayed in the food court and sat down at the nearest table. Gabriel placed the box in the center of the table.
“What’s in the box” Rogue asked curiously.
“Its for you, go ahead and open it” Gabriel said with enthusiasm.
Rogue thought to herself “We haven’t known each other that long and he’s already buying me gifts, sly devil”. “Ah what you get me, and does that wolf logo have anything to do with what’s in the box”?
“As far as the logo goes, yes it does have to do with what’s in the box. As far as what’s in the box you’ll have to open it and find out” Gabriel said smiling.
So with no further encouragement Rogue opened the box and was stunned when she recognized what it was. “It’s a very nice laptop, but I can’t accept this. It’s too expensive. By the look of it this thing must have cost you over three grand”.
“Actually you want to know the value of that laptop”?
Rogue still stunned nodded.
“You are not going to believe this but that thing is worth eleven million dollars US” Before she can say anything else he asked her “Do you remember when we were talking to the professor this morning when I just showed up and that I said I own a multi-million dollar secret technology research facility in Montana”?
“I seem to recall that fact…” Rogue acknowledged
Gabriel continued “That piece of technology that you see before you is the prototype for a revolutionary new computer system. Even the patent for this thing is top secret right now”.
Rogue closed her mouth not even realizing it was open. “I definitely can’t accept this. How in the hell can you possibly trust me with something this expensive? How many of these prototypes” putting emphasis on the word prototypes “are there”?
Gabriel reached out and took Rogue’s gloved hand in his “It’s yours do whatever you like with it, sell it if you want. It’s yours, no strings attached. Oh, to answer your other question there’s only two of these in existence”.
She gently lifted the laptop out of the box and also took out the carrying case which contained the manuals, software CDs and the three flash media cards. She looked back in the box which was now empty and said “You forgot the power cord”.
“Doesn’t need one, it runs on what I call a Polarized-Induction-Power-Crystal. Believe me you’ll never run that thing dead. Oh that laptop is highly durable too. You can literally throw it against a brick wall and nothing would happen to it”.
Rogue put the laptop in the carrying case and put the strap over her shoulder. “Well lets go to the Sam Goody, I want to check if the Bass Ultra-Slow Mega Low CD is there”.
“Well we should stop by the Cricket dealer first. Those cell phone places don’t stay open late” Gabriel said. So after Gabriel purchased the cell phone they walked back to Sam Goody and Rogue bought a few CDs including the one she wanted.
