Voices
As Rogue left her room to go join her friends for dinner, she was once more hit with a wave of dizziness. Gasping from the pain in her head, she grasped the rail on the stairs to keep herself from falling down the stairs.
Fortunately, for her, she thought everyone else was already eating, so nobody was there to witness it. Or at least she thought she was alone.
"Hey kid! You alright?" Logan asked coming up behind Rogue.
Rogue barely heard Logan talking to her. The voices in her head much louder than usual. They wouldn't shut up!
Kill all the humans! Mutants will rule the world. Magneto told her.
No! You shut up!
You put me in a coma! How could you? I thought we were friends! David's psyche finally grew a voice, even though he had been in her head the longest.
I'm sorry, now please be quiet!
Burn the cops! They shot Logan, and we didn't do anything! Pyro supported Magneto.
I thought I told you all to shut up!
"Rogue! Are you okay?" Logan asked grabbing her shoulders.This time she didn't hear Logan. The voices just kept getting louder and louder.
The drain wasn't as bad as it could've been Rogue. I told you not to worry. Bobby reasoned with her. Bobby had broken up with her a half a month after Alkali Lake, but they had still remained friends.
But I still drained you, and got you in my head! Now shut up everyone!
It's a good thing I saved you when you were sucked out of the jet, Fraulien Kurt reminded Rogue.
When Rogue had been sucked out of the Blackbird, after missiles had been fired at them, Kurt had teleported outside and grabbed Rogue. What Kurt didn't notice was that they had made skin-to-skin contact for a few moments. Not enough for Kurt to notice, but enough for her to have his psyche in her head.
"Marie!" Logan yelled at Rogue. By this time, students were coming out of dinner, and wandering to their rooms to do homework.
"Marie! Say something!" Logan, started shaking Rogue's shoulders.
Suddenly the voices stopped talking. Rogue's eyes snapped to Logan, just before they rolled to the back of her head and she blacked out.
"Kid! Come on say something. Marie!" Rogue heard Logan's gruff, yet concerned voice calling out to her from the shadows of sleep.
Slowly Rogue blinked opened her eyes. A bright light, shining onto her immediately caused her to close her eyes as the brightness hurt her eyes. The light was turned off and Rogue opened her eyes.
She took in the white walls and recognized the hospital room. She glanced to her left to see Doctor Hank McCoy (Beast), Xavier, Logan, Kurt, Scott, Storm and her friends Kitty and Jubilee. Xavier and Hank appeared to be in mid-conversation, but stopped talking when they saw that Rogue had awakened.
"Oh my God! Your like awake. We were like, so worried!" Kitty screamed, while Jubilee ran over to Rogue's side to give her a bear hug.
"Thanks for the headache Kitty." Rogue smiled jokingly at her friend. "Jubilee? Do you plan on letting me breathe anytime soon?"
"Oh sorry" Jubilee let go of her friend, a smile still on her face.
"Thank you for that girls. Perhaps you should go to bed, now that you know Rogue is awake. It is late." Xavier smiled at Kitty and Jubilee.
"Alright. Good night everybody" They waved at everyone and left the room.
"What time is it?" Rogue asked Professor Xavier.
"It is approximately 1:00 in the morning" Xavier informed Rogue.
"What happened to you kid? You were just standing at the top of the stairs when you just blacked out. You looked like you were in pain." Logan asked Rogue, the worry for her written all over his face.
"I...I don't remember." The truth was, Rogue remembered. She remembered, the dizziness, the voices, and then blacking out. She just didn't want them to worry about her. Even though the truth was, they already were worrying about her.
"Well, you must be tired. You may go to bed." Xavier told Rogue.
"Thank you, Professor." Rogue got out of the hospital bed and left the room.
POV Change
Logan could tell that something was wrong with Rogue. He could see the pain and sadness in her eyes. His heightened senses told him that she was suffering. Why? He didn't know, but he was going to find out.
Logan had promised Rogue that night on the train that he would always take care of her, and right now she needed his help. It wasn't just the fact that she had blacked out, but she had just lied to him. Him! Logan! His Marie had never, ever lied to him before. She said she didn't remember what happened, but he knew better. Something was bothering her, and it would be Logan who would find out what it was.
POV Change
Rogue took her time getting back to her room. When she got there, she didn't want to be plagued with questions by her two best friends. On her way back, she could hear a voice calling to her from the back of her mind.
Rogue? Can you hear me? Are you there?
Rogue sighed to herself before answering. Yah I'm here.
Oh Thank God. I'd thought I'd lost connection with you after the others... Jean trailed off.
Do you know what happened? You know with the voices?
Sort of. Whenever you absorb somebody, there psyche is formed in your head. Then you take there psyche, and put them behind a door
A door?
Yes. Your mind, by instinct will form a small room and push there psyche's into this room. Once there, the psyche's will fall into a deep slumber. Sort of like a coma. So, if one of the doors were to open , the psyche would wake up, and could escape.
That makes sense, but how did the psyche's escape?
That's my fault. I'm sorry. I didn't know what the doors were for. I opened one of them to check it out, and out came Magneto. He seemed to know what all the doors were for, so he ran off and opened all of them. Then they all started talking. It was actually pretty loud.
I realize that. So where are all the other psyches?
To help make up for my mistake, I put them all back behind their doors.
Thank you Jean.
Rogue?
What?
I need you to find me
Where are you?
Where you last saw me
Rogue sighed deeply. Why do you need help?
Help me come home, please
Alright. I'll come for you Jean. I'll save you.
Thank you so much Rogue. I'll be waiting for you
Rogue knew she had to save Jean. Saving Jean was the only thing that would stop making her feel guilty and sorry for herself. There was only one problem. How was she supposed to get to Alkali Lake and save Jean?
AN- Again, as always, reviews are appreciated
