well and its VERY AU
*** Curtains open ****
Rouge sat on the roof of the Institute letting the wind ruffle her hair. She was alone for the first time, in a long while. Remy was normal with her, but he had gone home to New Orleans to help his father with a job. Thinking of Remy and his family, Rouge missed her family. Yes, the kids and teachers at the Institute were like family, but she wanted to see the other s that she considered family. Not Mystique, or Irene but Steel Wings and Soulia and Reaper. No one at the Institute knew the truth about her past; slowly she drifted back to those dark and retched days before she knew the X-men and Irene.
*#*** Flashback ***#*
Rouge had joined up with the Family because she needed a place to stay, but she now wished that she had stayed on the street. This place was hell on earth. It was nice at first until she had done something wrong. Then she was placed in a small room with what appeared to be rats. She didn't understand, but she slowly began to. The rats were starved and tried to kill her. She would have zapped them but she found that her powers were gone. The punishments got worse and worse: For days at a time she was forced to stand in a space no bigger than the width of a wall, while sharp nails and pieces of glass dug into her body. Still she never voice complaint lest she be beaten senseless and raped. You see the Family had created bracelets that negated the effects of mutant powers on the wearer. She knew that she had made a mistake when she had come her, but now there was no way to escape. The dorms, were the 'kids' of the family were kept were small and smelled of dried blood and death. Rouge herself had been lucky in her punishments; she had only seen the lower end of the spectrum. One night as she lay in her bed, which she shared with two others, she heard the door open. In stumbled her friend Reaper, her body was so broken she could barely stand, blood dripped from various wounds only to join other dry drops on the floor. Reaper was the one who had warned Rouge about them raping 'kids' who complained. It was obvious that Reaper couldn't follow her own advice about shutting up, because she was always in trouble. Reaper truly never did anything wrong. The reason she was in trouble was so they could each get a little more food. You see if someone was in trouble their food was divided up amongst those who weren't in trouble. Reaper hated to see them wasting away so she gave up her health, and food for them. No one knew her power but it was obvious that the Family feared her, because they always keep themselves on high alert around her. That was the First night Rouge saw Reaper cry. For one month, Reaper stayed on her best behavior because so they wouldn't expect a break out. When enquired (through a series of almost crippling beatings) about the change, she said that she was reformed and wished to serve them. She got them to trust her enough that they took of their power negating bracelets around her that was their downfall. One night a scream rang through the compound, those in the dorm who didn't have their ears plugged (because of Reapers orders) fell into a deep sleep, those who heard the full volume of the scream died instantaneously. Rouge or Pasty as the 'kids' called her, Soulia, and Steel Wings moved to the door almost immediately. Soon they heard footsteps down the hall, the door opened, and there stood Reaper. They escaped into the night. Reaper had dropped Soulia and Steel Wings with a friends of hers, named Rafael. Her and Rouge had stolen a car and skipped town. For a year Reaper trained Pasty(Rouge) to fight then left her at Irene's with a phone number and an Email address.
*#*** END FLASHBACK ***#*
Rouge had stayed in contact with Reaper. She had picked up the others and moved to California were she work for the Forestry services. As she thought of her past a feeling rose in her gut: something bad was going to happen. Rouge pushed the though aside and slipped back through her window. She changed and went to sleep ignoring the feelings she had.
**Midnight**
The sound of the Phone ringing broke through rouges dreams, she turned over and shot her hand out from under the covers. Still half asleep she grabbed the receiver and pulled it back under the covers so that she could answer her phone.
"Hello?" her voice was thick and husky from sleep. "Pasty, Help me please.There after me again. I'm in Bayville I just can't find you pleaaase help me." Rogue didn't need to ask who was one the other side of the line, because only one person called her Pasty.
"Reaper, Were in Bayville are you?" Rouge was now fully awake.
" I'm outside of the high school. I can hide until morning if I have to but I'm not sure how long it will be till' they find me." Reaper's voice wavered in the slightest before becoming normal again.
" All right Give me 25 minuets, if I'm not there, hide, and call me in the morning." Rouge said thinking lightening fast.
"okay, thank you." Reaper said and hung-up. Rouge hung-up the phone, and got dressed. She walked downstairs looking for Logan. When she entered the Kitchen, she found him. He sat at the kitchen table reading something.
" Logan, I need your help." Here voice cut through the stillness of the room. He knew that she was there, he was just waiting for her to explain why she was out of bed and dressed.
" You okay, Stripes?" His voice was ruff and caring.
" Yes, But I have a friend who isn't she called me on the phone. She is at the High school, and there are people chasing her. I need to go get her, please help me Logan." Logan wasted no time in heading out to the garage, Rouge followed. They drove for a few minuets before they reached the High school, Logan stopped the X- van and Rouge got out. She walked to the front of the school, her eyes scanning the foliage for any sign of movement. Finally a figure moved toward her.
" Reaper?" Rouge's voice was quiet but I carried to the figure because the night was very still.
" Pasty.."
