Okay this is my next chapter, thanks all who reviewed you guy's rock. I had
forgotten what this chapter was really about but it just popped on paper.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was starting to turn bright, meaning the sun was coming up. Millions of people would be out soon which made everything more interesting. Rogue ran into an alley and phased underground. She landed in a sewer and just stood there.
"Hey what are you doing down here? You don't look at all homeless," a woman said.
Rogue turned to meet a girl probably a few years older than her. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. She was dressed funny so Rogue assumed she was a mutant, maybe even Mystique.
"Mystique is that you? You don't have to BE blonde all the time you know. Have you went against anybody yet?" she asked.
"I'm no Misty I'm Carol, you are?" she demanded pronouncing Mystique Wrong.
Rogue's head felt weird and suddenly an image came. The woman she was with now was lifeless on the floor and all she could see was a pair of legs. Then the image was gone. Rogue looked at the woman confused. A friend of her mom's or Raven's told her about this before. She knew she did but she couldn't remember what was said.
"It's Mystique not Misty. I'm Rogue," she replied.
"What's your real name?" she asked.
"That's my business," Rogue replied.
"I'm a mutant and I can't be harmed, so tell me what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I'm a mutant to and your powers are my powers so back off," Rogue said slight;y angered.
"Nice try but people always claim the same thing," she laughed," You look far to weak to me a mutant anyway."
Rogue growled," Bitch."
The blonde went from angry to scary and angry, she lunged at Rogue. Rogue phased through. Carol didn't fall she flew and landed on her feet. "That you power?" she asked.
"No," Rogue said then flicked her hands out and blinding lights came out.
There was slight smoke and Carol emerged from it. She smirked and punched the wall. A stone from above fell and Rogue caught it with her metal nails and threw it back at her. Then she teleported behind her. Carol was surprised and just barley hit Rogue but her power made her lots stronger and Rogue went flying anyway. She landed on her but and she looked at her feet. Then her eyes went wide as realization hit her. The legs were hers. The same image played for her. Carol fell and Rogue fell to her knees. The image was gone and Rogue tried to concentrate on turning off her powers (When ever she uses a power that's not hers sometimes her original power returns).
"Da ja vu," Rogue muttered (I don't think it is spelled right).
Something bad was going to happen, Rogue felt it in her bones but suddenly Carol had her by the neck, her skin so close to touching hers. "My.s-skin. It-it's da-danger-," before Rogue ad a chance to finish the sentence the leather part of Rogue's uniform slipped down Carol's full hand on Rogue's neck.
"NO!" They both screamed but their voices gave out before their screams could continue.
Flashes, memories, and abilities. Rogue was used to this but she knew something bad was going to happen so it was a lot worse now. Carol's veins popped out of her skin and her eyes rolled back. Her grip tightened and Rogue's breath shortened. Tears streamed down both their eyes and soon Rogue's vision blurred. Soon they both fell to the ground Carol's grip still tight. It was gross and they lay in the dirty sewer water and the pain was unbearable. Rogue's head hurt badly like her brain was splitting in two and her voice would not work. Finally her vision became black and she passed out.
~*~*~*~*~
Blurry, everything was blurry. Something was around her neck, Rogue blinked a few times and her vision cleared and she saw a blonde haired woman. "I can see myself outside my own body," she said though the little air she had.
She pried the hand from her neck and then she noticed it. Her hand, were pale and she had on black leather. ~ Am I a ghost? ~ She asked herself.
She reached over the body to a bag that was located on the yellow belt she the blonde wore. She pulled out a compact disk and she opened it and she saw one blue eyes and one green. She moved the disk around to her hair. It was longer and still blonde but with a white stripe.
"I'm Rogue.Marie. No Ms. Marvel .Carol. I absorb no I think I fly. Wait the voices make them stop," Rogue said but her voice was raspy and her throat dry.
She ran, anywhere she was scared. She bumped into someone. "Carol?" a male voice asked.
Rogue looked up," Casey. He's part of my group; I protect them from mutant riots and bring them food. No not at all I am in a sisterhood playing a game. Lo-Logan," she screamed and noticed he wasn't alone there were many others.
She pushed her way past him but she absorbed him when he grabbed her wrist. "Stop make it stop. Concentrate Rogue just like Jean told you. Wait Rogue, I just met you." Rogue voice was changed back and forth from hers to Carols.
"What the hell did you do to me?" she could barley speak.
"You wouldn't listen, I tried to warn you," Rogue's voice said.
Suddenly something snapped in her head and she began to lift off the ground. She hit the top of the sewage pipe then the walls; she was beating herself up trying to get out. There was a Bamf and then she realized she was at home. Not her home though, Carol's home. Memories, of when she was four and she waited for Santa all night and when they had Easter egg hunts and Thanksgiving dinner with family. The time she brought home twelve stray dogs and a few cats and her dad had a fit. "NO! These aren't my memories," her voice was barley able to whisper.
~ My god the day has been long ~ Carol thought.
It was what she always said when she came home. She in Rogues body washed her uniform and took a shower and did her hair and brushed her teeth. She changed into new underwear and the same outfit but now it was clean. She looked in the mirror.
~ I'm Rogue; I was an x-man and went out with Bobby. I was kidnapped and then my friends were. ~ Rogue thought.
Suddenly she looked away from the mirror and closed her eyes and when she opened then she was looking at Carol. She looked mad, "Fucking whore where am I?" she demanded.
"In my mind, serves you right you attacked me way to quick and for no reason. I hope you die in that sewer and rot in hell," Rogue said.
Punch. Rogue went flying. Kick. Carol tripped. Grab. Rogue's hair was getting pulled. BAM! Rogue head butted Carol. They fought for what seemed like forever with punches and licks here and there, hair getting pulled, biting, clawing, head butts and flying around like it was nothing. "You have my powers, thief," Carol growled.
They stopped and panted. Rogue had a busted lip and bruises all over. Carol had a chipped tooth a black eye and a bloody nose. With a few final blows someone would win. Rogue charged at her and she dodged and put rogue in the headlock. Rogue grabbed her by the hair and tossed her over her body, she landed on her feet and Rogue wasted no time kneeing her in the face. That was it she had won. She closed her eyes and when she opened them she was staring at her reflection. She watched as her one blue eye turned green and her hair grew and became its natural color. She also watched as her nose began to bleed and her eye turned black and bruises formed all over her body. She knew what was going on now.
"Carol Danvers you are permanently part of me," she whispered.
She slammed her hand on the brawer and the entire thing broke. She then knew she had her powers as well. She got up and tried to open the door but when she opened it she took the entire thing out the wall. Suddenly all her voices came and started talking, she heard Carol's distant screams and threats from the back of her mind.
"Stop," she pleaded.
The voices were too loud and the new powers were making her feel weird, the memories weren't sorted at all. She thought it was over but she couldn't be more wrong. She finally took the time to listen and see what the voices were saying and they were chanting warnings to her. It was too late Carol's screams got louder and louder till Rogue felt she lived inside a radio. Her head ached again and her powers were going crazy. Metal claws and nails came out at the same time. Her body kept her hair and eyes and took Jeans body with Raven's skin and Jubilee's color. She grew Kurt's tail and Kitty's voice and bobby's smile and John's nose and Magneto's power and they kept changing. Her body was tired and she kept phasing every once in a while, her body was being over loaded and she felt she'd die soon. She thought about how she would show Logan when this was all over and suddenly everything stopped. She was normal again but for how long?
"I need to get out of here," she said then accidentally teleported into an alley.
She walked out into the crowd of people. She walked till she bumped into someone. She looked up and saw Remy's papa. Her hood fell down when she stopped suddenly and she immediately looked away. She tried to walk past him but he kept blocking her and soon she just stood there. He forced her to look at him but pushing her chin up with his hand. She jerked back like she had been burned.
"Um.move," she wasn't in the mood to be polite.
"What happened to you?" he asked and he didn't sound like he cared too much but there was some concern in there.
Rogue couldn't answer and the more she thought about it the more her eyes began to water. She'd never let them fall though, instead she blinked them back and soon she felt them heal using someone else's power. If she kept this up she'd die, she had to give something up, either touch or control over the voices. She knew which it was and she still looking at this man squeezed her eyes shut and gripped her head. She was about to fall so she leaned on the wall and she turned off her power to control the voices. She wasn't ready for it, not anymore. She snapped her eyes open and punched the ground and large cracks formed and the sidewalk had a chunk missing now.
"Sorry," she said and once again tried to pass him but he blocked her.
"What just happened?" he asked.
"I.I.well you wouldn't believe e if I told you," she said.
"Try me petite," he said.
"What for?" she asked and her stomach growled.
"Just to get things off your chest," he said.
"Like I need that," she said.
"I'll by you something to eat," he offered.
"I could just steal it," she said.
"C'mon petite it's easier," he said and held out his hand.
She took it and they went to his place. Before they even passed the gate she stopped," Aren't I intruding?" she said.
"I'm head of the household, whatever I say goes," he said.
They entered his house and Rogue saw lots of people two being Remy and Henri. She ignored them; she felt lots of eyes on her. "Came back didn't you chere?" Remy said.
"Get away from me," she said.
"That was mean what you did to Remy," he said.
"Can you understand leave me alone?" she growled.
"Hand me your coat," his papa ordered.
Rogue did as she was told and took off her cloak. She saw Remy staring at her and a few others. "Stop it," she warned.
"Can it be the first woman yet that isn't attracted to Remy?" some guy joked.
"She just in denial, she speaks French so secret telling won't work," he said.
"You wish I were in denial," she said.
"Hey why are you wearing an outfit like that?" Henri asked.
"You know the answer to that Henri," Rogue said.
They seemed to be surprised that she knew his name but they said nothing. Remy smacked her ass. Rogue whipped around," My glove is off you thief. Unless you want to be in coma for a while I suggest you listen when I say leave me alone."
Remy looked her in the eyes and he saw one flash from green to blue. She turned from him and waited. He used his empathy powers to see what she was feeling. Anger, guilt, confusion and lots of pain. He stopped and blinked and looked at her. Why was she here anyway?
"Follow me," his papa said as he went down the hallway.
They went to his office and he pulled out gumbo soup. It was hot and he passed it to her. She ate it as she told him everything from now way back to this game. He asked lots of questions and she ended up telling him everything from when she first got her powers to now. He was interested like he was watching a movie or something and he always knew when she didn't tell everything. Way back then she was a lot weaker and she didn't want to remember it.
"Strong girl to have gone through all that. So now you can fly and have invulnerability?" he asked.
"Yes and I can still absorb if I want but since Carol I think I would rather not, besides I fight well," she said.
"And this game is still going on?" he asked. She nodded," And there are way more out there," he said.
"Thanks for listening it really did allot of good. And the gumbo was fabulous," she said as she got up.
"So how much do you know about the guild?" he asked.
"Lots but don't worry I'll keep quiet," she said.
"Can I ask you a question? Could you switch powers? Like instead of being able to touch you could use all those other powers?" he asked.
Rogue thought about it and Magneto explained to her he could be on to something," I think.if I tried hard enough. Hold one," she said.
She went inside her head and switched, she hesitated at first but then she did it fast. She looked at Jean-Luc and shape shifted into him. "Petite," she said in his voice and bowed her head going through him. She then switched it back so she could touch.
"Wow. You know there's an extra room," he said.
Rogue looked at him," I don't belong here. I'm a mystery, which it seems they don't like too much. I'm another mouth, and everybody here is a thief," she said.
She realized what he was saying. He wanted to have her become a thief and live with him. Join the thieves' guild and steal things and train. It seemed pretty cool but what about the sisterhood. Now she was useless, Jean could fly already and Yuriko was unbeatable. Why was she even considering it? Maybe because her powers would be appreciated here. No she couldn't decide.
"You don't have to decide now. We could really use you and when this game is over, if the sisterhood thing isn't working come back here. Think of this though you say the crippled guys dream is just a dream and will never happen, well look at here. Remy is a mutant and everybody's cool with it. With his powers he's made our goals easier to over come," he said.
"Powers?" Rogue repeated.
"The charging and the empathy and the charm eyes," he said.
"I'll think about it," she said.
"We'll think about it you mean," Carol's voice came out.
Rogue pushed her back and stood up. She smiled to Jean-Luc and walked out of his office and straight into Remy. He looked at her and she looked away and tried to pass him but he blocked her way. "What is it with you people and blocking me?" she asked.
"Remy feel your pain," he said.
"Turn that power of your off and move out of my way before I hurt you," she said as a warning. Suddenly she realized something that brought horror to her eyes," You listened in the entire time."
"Oui," he said.
She felt like crawling under a rock and dying right now. She felt embarrassed, what if he thought she was weak? Wait she shouldn't care anyway. Her eyes narrowed and she growled," Jerk," it was Carol's voice and words.
Rogue resisted the urge to clutch her head and she just barley pushed Remy but with the new acquired powers it was as if she hit him with full force. She quickly walked out hoping not to be stopped on her way out. She made it out and past the gate. She walked till the place was out of sight and finally clutched her head and falling to her knees. Carol was determined to get even and she had all the time in the world. Finally she stopped even though she could do way worse, she was slowly torturing Rogue.
"You're stubborn," a man said.
"Henri?" Rogue said.
"Yup. Fille (girl) if it hurts tend to it," he said.
"Thank you for trying to help but a wound like this you can't just put a band aid over and it's okay," Rogue said. "You also have to put peroxide on it," he said trying to cheer her up. She despite the odds laughed like there were no worries and no games. She hadn't laughed like that in a while. "Thanks," she laughed. "No problem mon chere. See it feels good to laugh and you look good laughing," he said. Rogue stopped laughing and looked at him," Don't ever say that again," she warned. "Ohh de fille obviously don't get complimented enough," he said. "Wonder why," she said sarcastically. "Because you stop them dead on their tracks and leave em' speechless, therefore you can't be complimented if they can't speak," he said. "Riight," Rogue said. Henri kissed her hand and left, she smirked and flew off. There was something she had to do. She flew back underground where Carol's body lay. She wasn't dead and Rogue was relieved. She picked her up and flew her to a hospital and luckily nobody saw. They asked lots of question like," Is she your relative? How long has she been like this? Who did this? Does she have insurance?" Rogue knew all the answers but she didn't answer any of them. She felt Carol would peak soon and she didn't want to cause a scene so when they all turned their backs she ran out. She ran into someone. She looked up and saw Raven, she stood up and she followed. Suddenly two figures came from the crowd and for once rogue didn't want to finish what she started. There stood Kurt, his appearance covered and Logan. Rogue really didn't want to finish this but she wasn't about to stop now, but neither was Carol. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Now this is longer and next chapter you can guess what's next. If the French translations are wrong it's not my fault, I just do my best.

Flashes, memories, and abilities. Rogue was used to this but she knew something bad was going to happen so it was a lot worse now. Carol's veins popped out of her skin and her eyes rolled back. Her grip tightened and Rogue's breath shortened. Tears streamed down both their eyes and soon Rogue's vision blurred. Soon they both fell to the ground Carol's grip still tight. It was gross and they lay in the dirty sewer water and the pain was unbearable. Rogue's head hurt badly like her brain was splitting in two and her voice would not work.

She reached over the body to a bag that was located on the yellow belt she the blonde wore. She pulled out a compact disk and she opened it and she saw one blue eyes and one green. She moved the disk around to her hair. It was longer and still blonde but with a white stripe.
"I'm Rogue.Marie. No Ms. Marvel .Carol. I absorb no I think I fly. Wait the voices make them stop," Rogue said but her voice was raspy and her throat dry.
She ran, anywhere she was scared. She bumped into someone. "Carol?" a male voice asked.

~ My god the day has been long ~ Carol thought.
It was what she always said when she came home. She in Rogues body washed her uniform and took a shower and did her hair and brushed her teeth. She changed into new underwear and the same outfit but now it was clean. She looked in the mirror.
~ I'm Rogue; I was an x-man and went out with Bobby. I was kidnapped and then my friends were. ~ Rogue thought.
Suddenly she looked away from the mirror and closed her eyes and when she opened then she was looking at Carol. She looked mad, "Fucking whore where am I?" she demanded.
"In my mind, serves you right you attacked me way to quick and for no reason. I hope you die in that sewer and rot in hell," Rogue said.
Punch. Rogue went flying. Kick. Carol tripped. Grab. Rogue's hair was getting pulled. BAM! Rogue head butted Carol. They fought for what seemed like forever with punches and licks here and there, hair getting pulled, biting, clawing, head butts and flying around like it was nothing. "You have my powers, thief," Carol growled.
They stopped and panted. Rogue had a busted lip and bruises all over. Carol had a chipped tooth a black eye and a bloody nose. With a few final blows someone would win. Rogue charged at her and she dodged and put rogue in the headlock. Rogue grabbed her by the hair and tossed her over her body, she landed on her feet and Rogue wasted no time kneeing her in the face. That was it she had won. She closed her eyes and when she opened them she was staring at her reflection. She watched as her one blue eye turned green and her hair grew and became its natural color. She also watched as her nose began to bleed and her eye turned black and bruises formed all over her body. She knew what was going on now.
"Carol Danvers you are permanently part of me," she whispered.
She slammed her hand on the brawer and the entire thing broke. She then knew she had her powers as well. She got up and tried to open the door but when she opened it she took the entire thing out the wall. Suddenly all her voices came and started talking, she heard Carol's distant screams and threats from the back of her mind.

They went to his office and he pulled out gumbo soup. It was hot and he passed it to her. She ate it as she told him everything from now way back to this game.

He was interested like he was watching a movie or something and he always knew when she didn't tell everything. Way back then she was a lot weaker and she didn't want to remember it.

"Turn that power of your off and move out of my way before I hurt you," she said as a warning. Suddenly she realized something that brought horror to her eyes," You listened in the entire time."
"Oui," he said.
She felt like crawling under a rock and dying right now. She felt embarrassed, what if he thought she was weak? Wait she shouldn't care anyway. Her eyes narrowed and she growled," Jerk," it was Carol's voice and words.
Rogue resisted the urge to clutch her head and she just barley pushed Remy but with the new acquired powers it was as if she hit him with full force. She quickly walked out hoping not to be stopped on her way out. She made it out and past the gate. She walked till the place was out of sight and finally clutched her head and falling to her knees. Carol was determined to get even and she had all the time in the world. Finally she stopped even though she could do way worse, she was slowly torturing Rogue.
"You're stubborn," a man said.
"Henri?" Rogue said.
"Yup. Fille (girl) if it hurts tend to it," he said.
"Thank you for trying to help but a wound like this you can't just put a band aid over and it's okay," Rogue said. "You also have to put peroxide on it," he said trying to cheer her up. She despite the odds laughed like there were no worries and no games. She hadn't laughed like that in a while. "Thanks," she laughed. "No problem mon chere. See it feels good to laugh and you look good laughing," he said. Rogue stopped laughing and looked at him," Don't ever say that again," she warned. "Ohh de fille obviously don't get complimented enough," he said. "Wonder why," she said sarcastically. "Because you stop them dead on their tracks and leave em' speechless, therefore you can't be complimented if they can't speak," he said. "Riight," Rogue said. Henri kissed her hand and left, she smirked and flew off. There was something she had to do. She flew back underground where Carol's body lay. She wasn't dead and Rogue was relieved. She picked her up and flew her to a hospital and luckily nobody saw. They asked lots of question like," Is she your relative? How long has she been like this? Who did this? Does she have insurance?" Rogue knew all the answers but she didn't answer any of them. She felt Carol would peak soon and she didn't want to cause a scene so when they all turned their backs she ran out. She ran into someone. She looked up and saw Raven, she stood up and she followed. Suddenly two figures came from the crowd and for once rogue didn't want to finish what she started. There stood Kurt, his appearance covered and Logan. Rogue really didn't want to finish this but she wasn't about to stop now, but neither was Carol. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Now this is longer and next chapter you can guess what's next. If the French translations are wrong it's not my fault, I just do my best.
