The alarm on his phone rang off with a twinkle and a buzz, jerking Matt out of his slumber quickly. He was always a quick riser, even if tired he could jump out of bed and hit the ground running, sometimes he would stumble later in the day, but nevertheless...Today was a day where he was eager to get going. There were lots of things to do, and since today was his day off, he had plenty of time to get things done.
So out of bed he rolled, almost jumping directly into the shower pausing only to grab the clothes for the day. Disney songs played in his head jokingly which only angered him in reminded him that Disney now owned Marvel Comics. Marvel comics was the biggest reason he was so happy to get out of bed today.
For today his favorite character in the Marvel universe was getting a special edition collector's issue. It was supposed to be printed in hardcover 3D and he couldn't wait. The character of course was Rogue. The sexiest and most badass of the X-Men. Something about the Southern Belle just excited him in a way no other character in the universe did. Maybe it was how forbidden it was to love her. Her mutant power caused her to drain the life out of everyone she touched with skin contact. That meant that no matter how sexy and hot she was, one could never sleep with her because you'd be dead before you got it inside of her. Such a dangerous thrill.
After Matt finished his shower he got dressed and left his apartment to handle everything he had to do. Finally after his errands were done he stopped by Jessie's Comic Corner and darted inside.
"Hey Matt." Jessie said from behind the counter. "What brings you in today?"
Matt raised his hands, "You have to ask me that Jessie? You know I'm here for my collector's edition Rogue special."
Jessie frowned and sighed, "Ah shit man, I don't have it."
Matt blinked. "What?"
"It didn't come in my order today, I think it got pushed back, or my supplier didn't have any to send me."
Matt shook his head, "No, no no no. You told me yesterday that it was coming. You confirmed it."
Jessie laughed, "Bah you're too damn easy to screw with. I got it right back here." He spun and knelt behind the counter. Matt felt his disappointment ebbed away. What a dick move to taunt him like that. It was then that Matt felt like a uber nerd, getting so worked up over a fucking comic book.
Jessie turned and set the book on the counter. It had a gold holographic cover and it seemed to glow as it sat there on the wooden surface. Matt ran his hand gently over the shrink-wrapped book. "Wow it's gorgeous."
Matt paid for the book and quickly headed home. He set the book on the table and worked quickly to put his groceries away. When he went to pick up the book he paused as he noticed it was glowing again. It seemed to pulse with golden color. He had thought it was an illusion of the graphic back at the store, but here in his living room he could tell that the book was actually glowing. Which didn't make any sense, how could a book glow? It wasn't big enough to have a lightsource and a battery, it only had thirty pages to it.
He picked it up off the table and held it in his hands, which made the pulse of the light move faster and faster. Gingerly his hand moved up to the shrink wrap seam and he dug into it. The moment he tore the wrap, the book exploded in his hands, sending him flying. He toppled over onto his back and looked up in awe as the book turned into a blinding golden light, hovering in mid-air. The light expanded until it was like a doorway in the middle of the room.
Matt's eyes went wide and he stood up slowly, trying to peer into the portal. He could vaguely see a shape in the light. A shadow that seemed to get bigger and bigger. it seemed to be racing toward the doorway.
Suddenly a womanly shape barreled through the doorway into his living room, crashing into him and causing him to fall onto his back yet again. The woman tumbled with him and fell on top of him. The golden light from the book vanished and Matt was left with a woman on top of him.
A woman with brown hair hanging over her face. Brown hair with a white streak in it. She lifted herself up on him a bit and looked into his eyes with a shocked look. Matt's own eyes were just as shocked. He was staring at Rogue. She looked a little different because she was here in real life but there was no mistaking that he was staring at Rogue, the real deal Rogue.
Holy shit! He thought.
"Umm...hi." He said softly.
