When hope is lost
I'm not sure how to say this.- The doctor was... it was like he wasn't there. He was not shocked he was not surprised, but they never are according to rogue's personal experience.
- So... doc tell me what to do to stop this miserable flu. ah mean ah could ask Hank, or even professor Xavier to examine me but they can't prescribe me drugs. - Rogue's facing the doctor, the doctor's looking to her blood test.
He looked through his tiny glasses towards her, but, like he suddenly realized he made a mistake he turned his eyes to the paper. Rogue noticed it.
- John what's wrong? - She was concerned, she threw her hands out of her pockets and stepped closer to the doctor.
- It's the results of your blood sample... It.. You've got to do one more blood test to have sure.
- Have sure of what?? I don't understand... Is it something going on with me? Tell me!
- Rogue sit down. I've got to say you something. - she didn't sat down. rogue knew it. She knew John for years, he was one of few doctors mutant- friendly that respected and supported Xavier's cause. She couldn't believe he was playing tricks on her.
- The results of this blood sample of yours tell you have a quite high number of white cells, and you're right, you got a cold, but it also tells you're HIV positive. And as you know the flu can be a direct consequence of it.
Her eyes opened wide in a mix of confusion and fear. She brought her left hand to her forehead and passed it all over her hair. She started to shaking her head.
- Can'tbecan'tbecan'tbe.. no no... how???
- Are you using any protection during intercourse?
- Hell yeah! You know what my powers can do when ah touch someone.
How can that be possible? The test's wrong must be, no... can't happen ah...
- Ok rogue. We'll do it one more time. These moments are never easy to anyone..
- But it can't be!! Ah mean you don't understand, ah haven't be involved to anyone for years, ah don't use drugs, ah don't mess around with blood, ah...- She wanted to feel tears coming down her cheeks, and let all the pain go, but her eyes were too dried out and she couldn't feel anything.
- All i'm saying is for you to wait. Just let us have sure and then we'll find out what to do next...
- Like dying?? No, doc... I've already heard about it. People who carry AIDS must take like 40 pills a day to keep on living, ah can't imagine what to do if...
- Look rogue I won't lie to you. To most of the people who make the second blood test to find out if it's true it's a confirmation. But we'll talk about it after we know. And if you haven't forgotten anything I can only guess it's related to you powers. I don't know why. I'm not an expert in the mutant subject but I advice you to talk about it with Xavier and I know it's tough to tell something like that to someone you care but you ought to do it. All this after you know the result of the second blood test ok?
Later she did her blood test, at the hospital. She couldn't believe. How could that be? she couldn't got infected by the other ways so it must had something to do with her powers. "How?? All I can do is to fly, to have real strong punches, to absorb people's characteristics, how is this..". And all of a sudden she realized. It all came so quick...
"Can it be that I touched somebody who was carrying AIDS and I somehow managed to absorb the virus?? But who?? The last person I touched...". She remembered it, it was not that long ago.. "Was a complete stranger, that girl near empire state, and not so far away from here.. I remember when we both grabbed the same T-shirt at that store, and her hand touched mine, I had forgotten my gloves home... I remember I passed out and didn't told anyone in the mansion about it... Can it be that.. NO.. My own powers... ".
She was walking in the hall of the 17th floor of the hospital, nobody paid attention to her. Just an attractive young women with white highlights falling through her face. She ran to a window and jumped right out of it. She began to fly, higher and higher until no one could see her. Then she ripped off her clothes until she was in underwear. She wanted to feel the wind caressing her and washing away her tears that never had time nor place to happen. Sun in her face and wind through her body, just one more time before everything starts falling apart...
