Check My Collar

Rogue suddenly felt bad, not wanting to upset Harvey, "Well... I killed people. Just because my mama told me to. Even when I was in a coma, I was still mommy's little weapon." Rogue felt like offering up from of her wrong doings in exchange for his, "I killed my first boyfriend." She reluctantly said.

Harvey bit his lip and then spoke up, 'I've killed people....held people hostage....and I've injured more people then I can count. I say I do it for justice....but the truth is justice....is corrupt and always will be, we can bend and change it however we feel...but that doesn't make what I did right." He said...and he would always see their faces....but he would never know their names. He felt bad for Rogue....having killed her first boyfriend. "Your mama sounds like she brainwashed you." He said quietly, hoping he wasn't offending her by saying this.

"I was... just so desperate for someone to love me I did anything to make her happy. It was my choice to do it. I can't blame anyone else." Rogue said, sighing, "But, you're right. Justice... isn't clearly defined and abused by so many... it's sickening."

He winced at her words, he himself had been abused by his mother and father....no matter how badly he had tried to fit in...it had never been good enough. "Well the woman in front of me is not the woman who did those things....you're a good person Rogue." He said quietly but honestly.

Rogue blushed an even deeper red, biting her lip, "You... regret what you did, right?"

He had to ponder that question, if he was going to answer that question he would answer it honestly. "Most of them yes....for the few I don't...well those were personal." He said quietly but honestly.

Rogue understood, she really did, "Then we're goin ta do a Harvey Dent make-ova. We can try to rectify the bad by doing good... Like ratman? Uh no Batman. Whoops." she slipped on name recalling, laughing a bit at her fail.

He started to laugh, more then he had in awhile, "Ratman?" He asked between laughs. He couldn't help the genuine smile that tugged on his lips at the image that came in blazing technicolor. "I'll never see Batman the same again." He said once his laughs had died down.

Rogue gave a smile, "Yeah, I probably just ruined his image."

He nodded with a smirk on his face, the Ratman wouldnt like his new nick name.

Rogue bit her lips, giggling, "So, wanna do something? Or are we going to stand in the library all day?"

He laughed again, "Well why don't you pick our next destination....I have a feeling it'll be more interesting then my descision." He said with a little smile.

"I totally dun even know anywhere around here. I barely found these area." She stated matter of factly, plus she wasn't up for deciding anything.

He frowned as he thought about it and then an idea hit him. He grabbed Rogues gloved hand and led her out of the room. He wanted to surprise her and show her the garden

Rogue made an 'eep' noise as she was escorted to another area.
