Rogue's Monologue

The Professor gave us a special assignment to complete over the weekend. We are to discuss in video, poetry, monologue, or essay the most influential person or persons in our lives and what they have done to make our lives better. He said that he felt this was an important assignment because "too often in life we fail to express our feelings and emotions to the ones we love and that our lives end to abruptly for us to let this continue." So here I stand before you to share my inner most thoughts and emotions about the one person who has made my life worth living.

I am sure that most of you have heard rumors about me having a "crush" on Wolverine. I am here today to let you know that this just isn't true. It is impossible for me to even fathom having a crush on him. You can't have crushes on someone that you have bled for. You don't harbor fantasies about a man once you have experienced and seen first hand his every fault.

What I do feel for him is devotion...utter acceptance...a bond that is stronger than life itself. You see I would die for him. We are pack mates. Somehow, out of the 6 billion people in the world, we found each other and saved each other. As I said, "I would die for him." More importantly is the knowledge that I would kill for him and he would kill for me. How do I know this? Well, I am sure that many of you heard the rumors about Sabretooth and let's not forget Mystique, even though she somehow managed to live. What, did you think he did it to save Ellis Island and the rest of humanity. Yeah, right. He heard my screams on that fiery touch and sacrificed his life for mine. And there was nothing pretty, or cute about that. It was real, raw, powerful and true.

So if he were standing here today I would say thank you. Thank you for saving me, accepting me when no one else would, giving me life, dying for me, crying for me, sacrifice your blood for mine. Thank you for bonding me to you always. Even when David and Erik are gone I'll keep you with me always. Because I am yours and you are mine. We are pack mates.

"Thank you Rogue for that powerful and compelling monologue," said Professor Charles Xavier.

"Good Job, Darlin'" stated a gruff voice from the back of the room

Logan! You're back!

"Hey darlin, you know I couldn't forget my girl. You're mine remember...."

Yes I know Logan. Always.
