A/N: Well hey guys! It has been what, two years? Last time I updated, I was leaving for the USA. It's been almost a year since I got back. I'm finishing high school anf going to a really good university in Moscow. I have updated my profile, so if you're interested in what kept me busy since 2008, feel free to visit it.
I am probably not going to continue my very first story, The Lull. I am sorry about it, I just don't feel it anymore. Thank you for the support, it is so amazing to actually see people not only read what you wrote, but find time to comment on it. As always, I hope for constructive critisism. Please review!
About Butterflies and Hurricanes. Various ideas ran through my mind since I've watched Wolverine and the X-men. The show was amazing and I am oh so sad it's probably getting cancelled. This story is basically my take on Season 2, but Rogue-centered. Remy is playing an active part, too, and we will see some major Romy, but I decided to make Rogue's character complexity the center of this story. It is pretty hard to summarize it, but is gonna describe Rogue past, where she is now and also give you a direct glimpse in the X-men's future.
Here is a pretty short preface (those are fun!) that will give you a taste of the story. I hope for it not to get angsty, because that is definitely not me. Enjoy!

"Butterflies & Hurricanes" by Muse
Rogue watched the rusty waterdrops fall from the dark dirty ceiling. How much times has passed since Apocalypse locked her in this tiny cellar? A day? Two?
'Doesn't matter', she mentally answered her mute question. She will probably spend the rest of her worthless little life here, only allowed to come out when her Master needed her. Something told Rogue that Apocalyse won't keep his promise. It was a quite simple trap. She knew it from the start, but still made her deal with the devil.
She can't go back to the X-men. Not after what she did. Or, rather, what she was going to do. Even Remy, a traitor in the past, would never forgive her. This isn't the right way to make him love her. She has seen what future has in store for them.
Rogue wondered if people would try to fix the future if they knew it. If the X-men saw Destiny's Diaries, could they save the humanity? Could they understand the reasons for what she was doing? The Chaos Theory claimed that one should be careful to avoid the Butterfly Effect. So she followed what had been predetermined for her only to win some time to change it all. Now she had plenty of time to come up with a plan.
A/N: So here it is. Please review and be honest about it. Am I improving? Is it primitive? Intriguing? I hope to update with the first chapter in a couple of days.
