#223. Surprise! Your mother is at the door...
"The view from the master bedroom is one of the most gorgeous I've had the privilege of showing, Ms. Adler." The realtor smiled brightly and motioned for Rogue to follow her further into the highly overpriced condo.
This is ridiculous, Anna Rose. Her mother's voice echoed in her mind. You own nearly three properties in this area of the city alone.
No, you do, Rogue murmurs back, annoyed that Mystique's presence would take now as an opportune time to push forward. An' I ain't about ta settle inta some place that you'll just happily barge inta.
I will do that no matter where you decide to dwell, baby.
She can hear Raven's laughter and sighs, trying hard to smile back at the realtor. The woman is staring and she wonders if she's been asked a question or showing signs that she can hear others who are not exactly there. Either can be quite unsettling. "An' what can ya tell me about the workmanship?" Rogue asks, attempting to get the woman talking again. If she's speaking than there is less a chance she'll notice the oddity beside her.
You are not living here.
It really ain't your choice, now is it, Momma?
The security is lackluster and that is putting it nicely.
Rogue watches the realtor move, pointing out different fixtures and molding. Security can always be upgraded, installed. Its not as though she'll be involving herself in anymore illegal activities anytime soon.
Illegal activities have a way of finding you, baby.
Only cause I have ya as a mother. Rogue frowns and follows the woman. Three bedroom, three and a half baths. Its more than she could possibly need.
The condo three blocks down has everything you are looking for, Anna Rose. And it is already in your name.
Rogue runs a hand through her hair. It won't get rid of Raven's voice but it makes her feel a little better, also makes it look as though she is contemplating her options. An' if'n I take that one, how long until ya come an' visit?
I will be seeing you soon whether or not you take up residence in one of the safehouses, baby.
Rogue lets the realtor show her the rest of the condo and takes the woman's card, setting up a time to see more properties. She won't actually show. It makes little sense not to use one of the residences that are already in her name. Less hassle and she knows the security will be up to par. It will take a few days for her to admit that to herself.
Rogue just hates when her mother is right.
