In which Angel and Rogue decide they know best and start planning a trip

This whole recovery business was ridiculous. Rogue's main injury was her neck, but the bruises extended throughout her body.

The day after always sucked, but two days later....hell hath no fury like aching muscles.

And Logan wasn't even around for her to steal‎ some healing factor from. Selfish.

Having enough of being in bed, she grabbed some twinkies, a bottle of wine and her laptop, and hobbled her way to Angel's room. Knocking on the door, she called out. "Open up, sugah. Ah got treats an' wine an' it's way too early to be drinkin' by mahself."

The door opened within minutes. "I heard wine." Angel, for her part, wasn't overly bruised -- all things considered the mission hadn't gone badly fight wise. Everything that had happened after had left a bit of a mark on her pride but that was another story entirely. "Please, come join me with this wine and treats of which you speak. Here, lemme take something off your hands." She took the wine and twinkies and grinned as she stepped aside to let Rogue in.

"Please," Rogue croaked as she walked in and flopped on the nearest available surface. Burying her head in a pillow, she sighed audibly. "This rough voice makes me sound like a man, an' Ah ain't sure Ah like it." Peeking a eye at Angel, Rogue sighed even louder. "An' what the hell even happened out there? Did we get grounded or somethin'? Ah felt like a kid bein' sent to time out for stealin' a cookie. Aren't there enough baddies to go around?"‎

Angel went to get wine glasses before flopping down next to Rogue, pouring a glass for each of them. "Best medicine there is," she said before taking a sip. "It felt like such a territorial thing. Like 'you can't be superheroes, we're superheroes.' It's stupid. The only difference between us and them is that they have government license."

Rogue accepted the glass gratefully and sat up, facing her friend. "Exactly! Like really. This whole thing's left a bad taste in mah mouth." She made a face. "Like, what's our role now then in this here crazy world? Jus' sit around an' look pretty? 'Cause Ah can do that, no problem, but sure would get borin'."

"I dunno but my new life goal is to be as annoying as humanly possible. Especially considering we never heard a thank you for responding first and keeping things from getting too out of control." That was what bugged Angel more than anything. They wanted to be territorial, fine. But don't show up two hours late to a party and be upset when someone else brought the chips and dip.

Another sigh. Rogue was full of them today. "We need a vacation," she declared. "Something full of alcohol and devoid of any responsibility. Something to say 'good job team, even though y'all were shat on'"

"What's something really stupid that everyone always talks about doing but never actually does?" Angel tapped her chin, thinking for a moment. "Skydiving? Nah, half of us can fly anyways. We could go to Disney World. Are we too old to go to Disney World without children? Why isn't there an adult version of Disney World?"

"Ooh! OOH!". Rogue perked up, almost bouncing in her seat. "Vegas! Vegas is adult Disney! Only with way more booze and hookers on every street corner! We should go!". Opening her laptop, she did a quick search . "We could get a pretty decent hotel package,$500 each, maybe less if we all cram in a room or two.". Rogue took a sip of her wine. "Think that would work?"

"YES!" Angel said loudly, startling Doughnut, who was sleeping in his cat tree. "Alcohol and gambling and okay I'm not totally interested in the hookers but I won't judge anyone who is! Let's do it!"

"Yay!" Rogue threw up her arms, wincing when her wine sloshed ‎on her head. "Oops. Ah'll clean that up. But yay! Y'all wanna invite the others? Scott might be a hard sell but if anyone needs a vacay, it's him."

"We can drug Scott and drag him there against his will if need be," Angel said confidently. "What's Vegas if you don't do something slightly illegal like kidnap someone against his own will?" She laughed. "Go shower, I'll email everyone."
