Startling Realizations

Remy held Rogue's hand. Did she always look so peaceful while she slept? He sighed. "Mon Ange." He whispered as he placed Rogue's gloved hand to his mouth to place a long kiss. He rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand, caressing it while she breathed evenly. He stayed like that for a few minutes.

He looked up when the door opened and in stepped a furious Logan. Logan glared at Remy. "Get the fuck out!" He growled.

Remy let go of Rogue's hand and stood up. "Why? Remy did rien!" He argued.

Logan snorted. "I never said you did. I was just telling you to get out." He smirked.

Remy looked defiant. "And if Remy doesn't?" Logan's claws popped out. "What do you think Remy's going to do? Rape her?" Wrong choice of words. Next thing he knew, him and Logan were wrestling in the med lab.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jean was in the war room correcting her classes health test.

A as usual Rogue. B Wanda, C for Jubilee. I swear that girl is more concerned about shopping then her grades.

Jean looked up from her tests as she felt a disturbance in the med lab. Rogue isn't awake yet, is she? She quickly did a scan of the medical room. She stood up and walked out of the war room. What is it with Logan and Remy fighting?!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Remy was standing with his knees bent, twirling his bo-staff like it was a baton. Logan had popped his claws out on both hands and was glaring at Remy.

Remy made a move to attack Logan, when the doors opened and Jean walked in. She looked between the two men then shook her head.

"Honestly you two! Why can't you get along?" She asked sternly.

The two men looked between each other. Jean rolled her eyes when neither of them responded. "Really Logan! I sent Remy in here to watch Rogue." She told him.

Logan raised an eyebrow. "And Hank sent me here to watch her." He retorted.

Jean covered her face with her hands then lowered them. "Both of you just get out!" She said sternly, but her eyes gave away her amusement.

The two men grumbled about how it was the other's fault as they exited the room. Jean looked after them, trying not to laugh.

She was still staring at the door as she spoke to Rogue, but knew the girl was still sleeping. "I wish you would wake up Rogue. Everyone's worried about you. Especially Logan and Remy. You wouldn't believe how many times those guys fight when your not around. But Remy does seem to genuinely care, even though it bothers Logan." She chuckled and turned around to look at Rogue.

Her jaw gaped as she saw the one thing she least expected. Rogue's eyes were open as she was looking Jean right in the eyes. They stared at each other for a moment before Rogue blinked and looked away.

Jean rushed to Rogue's side. "Rogue, honey! You okay? Thank God your awake!" Jean embraced Rogue tightly.

Suddenly Rogue let out a sob and her shoulders heaved. Jean pulled back but kept her hands on Rogue's shoulder. "Rogue? What's the matter?"

Rogue covered her face with her hands but her response was mumbled into her hand that Jean couldn't understand.

"What? Sorry Rogue I can't-"

Rogue cried harder but lowered her hands so Jean could see the tears running down her face. "Jean? What have I done? I've killed us all!"

Jean shook her head. "No. No you haven't." She whispered.

Rogue put a hand over her eyes, then put it down. "Jean. I released Apocalypse. I couldn't control myself. I attacked Jubilee and you."

Jean hugged Rogue again. "No. That wasn't you. You couldn't help yourself. Nobody blames you. Everyone's just worried." She gave a small laugh, even though her own eyes were watering as she knew what Rogue was going through. "I know what's like to be possessed. You just have to accept it happened and that it isn't your fault."

Rogue nodded and rubbed at her eyes and cheeks to rid herself of her tears. "I just feel so stupid." She grinned too after a moment. "Were Remy and Logan really fighting?" She asked curiously.

Jean rolled her eyes and pulled a chair up to the bed with her mind and sat in it. "Oh! It was the most annoying thing ever!"

Rogue chuckled. She quieted down quickly and looked at the end of the bed. Jean felt the silence was too awkward and decided to break it.

"You know that for my wedding Ororo is my maid of honour." Rogue nodded, looking absolutely clueless as to where she was going with this. "And Betsy one of my brides maids." Jean continued. Rogue nodded again. "Well, I was hoping you'd be my other brides maid."

Rogue's eyes went wide. "Me?" She shook her head. "No! Jean! I can't!"

Jean nodded. "No Rogue! I really want you to. Look I know your still a student, but I think you're a amazing team mate, and an ever better friend. Please? Can you do this for me?"

Rogue looked in thought for a moment before nodding once. "Alright. I'll do it."

Jean nodded once. "Good. I'll get you fitted for a dress tomorrow, if your up to it. I got one in your size, but I want you try it on, to make sure it fits properly."
Rogue blinked then chuckled. "So soon?" She asked.

It was Jean's turn to chuckle. "Well it is March fifteenth is two days." She said.

Rogue's grin fell. "What? Are you serious? It's already here? I mean, oh man!" She turned to look at Jean, her face reddening in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry Jean! I completely lost track of time! I haven't gotten you a gift or anything!"

Jean waved Rogue's apology off. "I think you saving my life twice is enough of a gift for both of us." She giggled.

Even Rogue managed a grin. Jean stood up. "I should leave you to get some rest. I mean, you have had a busy day." Jean left the med bay turning off the lights on her way out.

Rogue turned away from the door, which had light streaming into the pitch black room. Try as she might Rogue couldn't fall asleep. Rogue curled into herself. I can't believe I let the most powerful mutant in the world escape. She shut her eyes tight and finally fell asleep to a dream plagued with the not too distant future.
