Chapter 8
Jean Grey was in the Med Bay with Remy LeBeau, Hank McCoy and Rogue. Hank was busying himself with Remy as he had just awoken. Jean sighed, surely now that Rogue's grasp on Gambit had lessened it meant that hopefully she was also returning to consciousness. She looked down at the sleeping girl. I wonder if we can still touch her? Thought Jean. Her hand automatically trailed towards the girls face, where a section of her white fringe was overhanging her eyes. She cautiously moved it out of the way but her fingers grazed Rogue's cheek. Her soft skin was warm, which was a good sign as it was described as ice-cold when she first arrived due to shock. For someone whose kin can't be touched she sure has soft well managed skin, why can't mine be like that. Suddenly she felt it.
'Argh help…me.' Jean cried, before she collapsed on the floor. Rogue awoke tears were in her eyes as she realised what was happening to her. She quickly moved away from Jean and her hand fell off of Rogue's face. 'What d'ya think your doing?' Rogue said, but Jean could not reply, now she was unconscious, twitching on the floor where Rogue left her.
Hank ran over to Jean and placed her on a bed, making sure to put the bed rails up along the side, to stop the twitching body from harming herself further. he waited with her until she had stopped the erratic movements and then went over to comfort Rogue.
Rogue had seen what she had done to Jean and was screaming, she had absorbed her powers and was hearing the thoughts of all the people in the mansion. Like what is she wearing? Whats for dinner it better not be 'Logan Surprise or worse anything Kitty made. Jean why did you touch her you fool. Chere are you awake.
'Remy where are you ah can't see, ah the voices, are you near me?'
'Chere! Yes I am directly in front of you listen to my thoughts Remy will guide you.'
Using his mind and Jean's power Rogue made it over to Remy's bed and sat on the edge.
'How are you feeling Rogue?' said both Remy and Hank.
'Ah think ah'm ok. Mah head is hurting a bit and my stomach is really sore.'
'Do you remember anything that has happened in the past 2 days.'
'Um…No…Ah mean yes…Ah mean….yes Professor Xavier said Ah had a new power?'
'Yes Rogue you do can you tell us about it?'
'Ah can try but Ah don't really understand it mahself. Ah remember seeing Remy in mah mind. Ah concentrated real hard on him and then he disappeared, Ah was distracted by Professor X. When Ah found him again, it was well weird, Ah could touch him, and hear him, and see him, it was like somehow his mind was with mah mind. Ah remember telling him that if he didn't leave his body would die, because it had nothing inside it controlling it.'
'Thank you Rogue, I will repeat this to the Professor.'
Hank walked off leaving Remy and Rogue alone together. 'Chere, what happened to your stomach, its been stabbed?'
'You know what Cajun, ah don't know, do you remember?'
'Remy does not remember much, but Remy does remember what we did when we were in your mind.'
Rogue blushed as she thought about the special moment they had shared with each other. Remy was however still looking at Rogue's stab wound suddenly had an expression of anger on his face. 'Remy is gonna kill that Wolf, he hurt you Chere, and he will pay!'
