I was really bored in Art Appreciation and this came into my mind. A good majority of you will probably not like this.
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men or any of it's characters. Marvel does, which I think is wrong because they've been abusing a lot of their characters and should have them taken away!
Rogue had her team split up. She knew a lot of the people at the mansion thought she was crazy for allowing Mystique and Sabertooth on her team, but she knew what she was doing. She also knew that Scott trusted her and wouldn't let him down.
"Rogue, come in? Are you there?" She heard Cable's voice over her walkie talkie.
"Ya, go ahead." She told him as she flew over a building and looked around for their targets. Northstar and Aurora were last seen around here and they needed to know why they were after Sabertooth.
"We got word from Emma that they are close to you, so watch yourself. We're coming towards you." He replied.
"Great." Rogue said as she landed on top of a roof and waited. She knew if she had to, she could probably take them both out with one single touch.
"Where is he?" She heard a male voice behind her and twirled around to find Northstar and Aurora in the air.
"About time ya showed up." Rogue muttered and cracked her knuckles. She let herself rise into the air and charge right at Northstar. However, before she could reach him, he grabbed his sisters hand and they both disappeared. "What the hell is this?" Rogue growled as she stopped and turned to find them behind her now. "Ah thought ya came here ta fight little old meh. It's the only way ya'll be able ta find Sabertooth." She taunted them.
"We have no business with you, we-" Before Aurora could finish, her and her brother were struck by an electric force that knocked them out of the air and onto the roof.
Rogue lowered herself and saw that the twins were unconscious. "What the heck?" Rogue whispered as she bent down next to them. Smoke arose from their chest and floated in the air around them. She looked around and saw nothing, but darkness and a pair of red eyes starring at her.
"Remy?" She whispered and got up. "Is that you?" She asked again. The figure blinked once before turning away. "Wait!" She called and flew towards him. "Ah wasn't done talkin' ta ya."
She rested a hand on his shoulder and it was immediately burned. "I suggest you leave." She heard Gambit say. She noticed his appearance had turned back to normal, along with his hair length.
"No, Ah want some answers, damnit!" She shouted. "Ah wanna know why ya joined Apocalypse? Was it because of meh?" She demanded to know.
"Not everything is about you." Gambit said as he turned around. Rogue noticed his eyes were still not the same. They had once been a beautiful red on black, but now were pure red.
"Then why?" She asked him again.
"You already know that answer, Rogue. You said it yourself a while ago: I am no X-men. I don't belong with them." He said in a dark tone. She was a bit taken back. She had grown so use to his voice saying 'chere' when addressing her.
"That was along time ago. It wasn't meh who said it, it was your voice in mah head tellin' meh ta leave ya ta die." She argued.
"You really are naive, aren't you? If I wanted to die, don't you think I would have died there. Why don't you just take responsibility for your mistakes for once." Gambit told her. "You wanna know why I joined Apocalypse. The real reason? I was sick of the X-Men looking down on me while they let murderers like Mystique and Sabertooth in."
"People are allowed second chances, Remy." Rogue said.
"Apparently not me though." Gambit rolled his eyes. "Which brings me back to why I met you here tonight." She stared at him as he smirked, not the same cocky smirk that she remembered him, but a sinister one.
"Tell you little X-Men group." He then grabbed her and kissed her on the lips, surprising her. She didn't feel her powers absorbing him, nor his memories. He finally broke away from her. "The next time we meet, their dead." He said before he turned and a tesseract opened. He walked into it, leaving her standing there still stunned.
"Rogue!" She heard Cannonball behind her. She watched as the white portal closed before she turned towards her teammates.
"Wow. I'm impressed. You took them out?" Cable asked her. Rogue didn't say anything. She just looked down at Northstar and Aurora.
"Rogue, are you all right? You're shaking." Cannonball noted.
"Ah . . .Ah don't know." She whispered.
