Who Is She?

Chapter 1 : Rogue
-
Summary: Everyone who meets Rogue always asks, who is that woman?
Rogue has become a misguided soul after years of self loathing and fear. Now with immense and very impressive powers under her control and her attitude of general hatred towards anyone and everyone the world should be scared. She is being her usual evil self when one day she meets a mutant man from her hometown, New Orleans. He is part of a group called the X-Men who supposedly want to save her but all she sees is people wanting to hurt and use her then throw her away when she wants to change her mind and rebel. Will she ever let anyone in again? Can he help her or fail like everyone else has before?
This chapter is Rogue's life story so far. I have changed quite a lot and it is different to her past in the X-men series.

Rogues life story so far is quite an eventful one, she is now 19 but her eyes tell a different story. She has lived more dangerously than anyone ever could in a lifetime and thanks to her mutant abilities she can never be normal. Rogue is condemned to be alone for eternity, or so she thinks.
At the age of 13 she was kicked out of her hometown, New Orleans, for being a mutant and she was left to fend for herself.
At the age of 15, after two years of living on the streets and in fear of human contact due to her 'curse' a woman finds her. This woman is a mutant just like Rogue and she is forming a group of misfit mutants so she asks Rogue to join them. Rogue has nothing better to do and she naively thinks that maybe she will fit in with these people, so she takes the woman up on her offer and goes with her.
At first she is just trained in how to control her powers and use them to their full extent. But then she is taught how to attack other mutants and how to defend herself against a number of attacks and powers.
This is when Rogue becomes suspicious of the group she has joined, it doesn't seem like they are good people at all, they seem more and more like terrorists every day. The other members of the group are all mutants with unique abilities like her and they are also extreme human haters because of their troubled pasts. But even with her horrible past experiences with humans Rogue can't bring herself to want to kill them like the others do.
By the time she has admitted to herself that she needs to leave these people; even if she doesn't fit in anywhere else, it is too late. She has been trained too well, on their 'missions', which she didn't like, Rogue would now be as malicious as the others even if she really didn't want to be, it was the way she had been taught.
Suddenly on their mission everything goes wrong; which is exactly how mystique planned it.
She is sent to infiltrate a mutant terrorist operation but instead her powers suddenly go out of control and she ends up draining the life out of a super woman and with that her powers take Mz Marvel's psyche and powers permanently, leaving the woman in a coma and herself in a state of self hate and fear at what her 'curse' can really do.
After that last mission Rogue found it increasingly difficult to control her powers and with Mz Marvel's memories she now confirms her suspicions that the people she works with are the real 'bad guys', she was tricked.
Now Rogue finally realises that the woman is just using her and curses herself for being so gullible. And the one thing that Rogue hates more than anything is to be used.
When Rogue expressed her want to leave the 'brotherhood of mutants' the leader, mystique confined her to her room and told her that she couldn't leave. Basically she was being held prisoner. So Rogue with the help of Mz Marvel's training and expertise managed to absorb the other mutant's powers and psyche's, making them fall asleep so that she had the chance to escape them.
Once again she was back in the outside world, amongst humans but now with even more dangerous powers and skills in her currently unstable hands.
Ever since then she has been on her own, running and hiding, refusing to ever be tricked again, training herself with the help of her stolen mutant and few human psyches. Rogue has perfected herself and hasn't cared who she hurt along the way.
There was a time when she cared about others but that was so long ago to her. Now all her trust was gone and her heart locked away and all that was left was her fighting and evil mind filled with other people's memories and abilities.
Rogue is now 19 and has learned a lot by living on the streets and her time spent with the mutant team. Also, thanks to practice she has learnt a lot about her powers and practices to keep them under her control every day so that what happened to her and Mz Marvel would never happen again.
Now Rogue is a bad girl, one of the evil ones, corrupted by horrible humans and evil power mad mutants to become the mutant she is today; coincidentally a lot like mystique.

So that was Rogue's life story so far, kind of like a prologue really. But her past will be relevant in the future chapters so I decided to write it like this. The next chapter is about Gambit and the one after that is basically just about the x-men so far and then the story will be properly starting after that. I just wanted to introduce the main characters first before really beginning.
Anyway, basically this story is Gambit x Rogue, Rogue is a good girl turned bad, can anyone save her? Remy aka gambit is a misguided thief and notorious playboy, is Rogue the woman for him? We will have to see.
By the way, sorry for any grammatical errors or tense changes throughout my story, i am currently working on improving my writing.
I will try to have the next chapter up within a couple of weeks but i can't promise anything because i have college to attend and exams to study for and an unknown illness that still plagues me. So like anyone who has ever read any of my stories would know, i am not a frequent updater but i am trying my best here to change that.
Also, one question, it is Mz Marvel right or is it Ms? I can't remember to be honest. :"]
Anyhoo, thanks for reading and I promise this story has a good plot that I hope y'all will like. Please review; especially if you have any ideas for the story and I can accept criticism because it helps me further improve my writing. ^__^
