Chapter Four
Marie stared blankly at the walls around her, her body there, her mind not.
She was once again running to the garage, once again stealing the first car she saw, a jeep. She was once again speeding down the highway, once again feeling her heart pound in her chest.
She pulled over and parked in a nearby park and began her walk towards her only hope of a normal life.
The tall glass skyscraper stood in front of her, the sounds of rush hour traffic, of people shouting, all the sounds of a big city was drowned out by her racing mind. Rogue walked over to the end of the line of mutants that had formed outside the building. For an hour and half she heard every angry shout from the protestors like a knife in her heart. By doing this she would no longer be good enough to be one of them. Either way she couldn't win. Was it worth it?
Yes, for him, it was.
Finally she stood in front of the cold metal doors. Two more people and it would be her turn. One more person. Her.
Rogue stepped into the air conditioned building. It looked like a doctor's office, just in a bigger building. Slowly she walked up to the counter and left her name. A man walked over to her and gently placed a hand on her covered elbow and directed her towards a room to the left.
As she entered the room he asked her to raise her sleeve so he could take her blood pressure and do other mandatory task. Rogue nodded and lifted her sleeve for him. She never saw the needle until it was in her. Then suddenly everything went dark.
((((((((Logan POV))))))))))
Logan paced the office, his teeth grinding against each other. Where was she?
"Logan please! Your distracting me." Said Xavier as he tried to focus. Logan paused his fist clenching and unclenching.
After Marie had touched him she had bolted. He'd recovered to slow. True it was faster than a normal person could, but it had still taken him an hour to be able to stand. Long enough for her to be anywhere. He'd fetched Xavier, and after a quick discussion they he'd agreed to try and locate her.
Logan sighed and pulled her mask from his coat pocket. His thumb rubbed the crack he'd made gently. 'Marie, where are you?'
((((((((Marie's POV))))))))
Marie awoke to the dim room she was in now. The gray stone walls offered no answers to her millions of question. She no longer wore any clothes, just a shabby gray blanket. How long had she'd been here? Where was here? Where was Logan?
After what seemed like hours the man that had originally stuck her walked in followed by two beefy looking men.
"Hello Marie."
"It's Rogue to you." Replied Marie icily.
"Of course. Rogue. Your probably wondering why you're here? Correct?" Marie said nothing, her fingers clutching the blanket to her, covering herself as much as possible.
"Yes, well. My name is Collins. Dr. Collins. You originally came here for the cure is the correct?" He asked tapping his pencil expectedly to a clipboard he carried.
"Yes."
"Well congratulations on realizing your problem. It's people like you that corrupt our society, that make the world unsafe for our children. My job is to cure the world of people like you." Marie felt her heart stop.
"Now before you can receive our 'cure' the government has asked us to determine the root of each mutation so that we can better protect ourselves from the mutants that refuse to conform."
"I will never conform to you." Spat out Rogue in a sudden burst of defiance.
"My dear, I don't think you realize, you don't really have a choice. You decided when you stepped in here." Rogue stared. Stared at the evil smile that washed across Dr. Collins face. Stared as the 'beefy' men surrounded her, yanking her blanket away and once again sticking her with a needle.
'Logan……help……'
End of Chapter 4. Reviews get you love.
P.S. Yes there is a reason I use Rogue at some points and Marie at the others. Can you figure it out?
