FREE SHOUT OUT! Y'ALL ROCK FOR FIGURING IT OUT! And special thanks for stickin' with me on this fic!

Remy screamed from pain as he woke up.

"IT BURNS!"

Some sort of liquid was stinging him beyond comprension.

Scared and face burning, and grabbed the hand with a lot of pressure. He looked at the hand. Long fingers, long black polished nails, pale and cold yet soft smooth hands. He looked slowly to the owner of the hand and let go.

"DIE ZOMBIE!"

Rogue started hitting him with a wet rag.

"Rogue! Stop!"

She started giggling. Why did she enjoy hurting him so much so?

"Wha's on my face!"

Rogue laughed.

"It's that alcohol used fo' wounds, mr. 'I'm a LeBeau! LeBeau's don't feel pain!'"

He lay back down and glared.

He looked around. He was in his room. He could've sworn that he was wrestling Joseph in the snow. Whatever happened he was cold.

Rogue put a band-aid on his face.

"Wha' hap'ned?"

Rogue sighed.

"Yah an' Joseph started beatin' tha crap outta each other, so Ah 'sorbed y'all 'fore y'all killed each other. Ah...left Joseph there."

Rogue looked away.

"Why?"

"Cuz...Imma li'l ticked off at 'im, okay?" She said impatiently.

Remy put his hands up in protest.

"Didn' mean ta make y' mad."

Rogue sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"It's ok." She smiled at him. "How yah feelin'?"

Remy shrugged.

"'M okay, jus' a few bumps and cuts, not'in' too bad. But it is really cold in here."

Rogue smiled and ruffled his hair.

"That's good."

She leaned closer and whacked him real hard on the head.

"Wha' was dat fo'!"

She got up and glared.

"Fo' scarin' meh!"

He looked at her incrediously.

"How?"

Rogue sat down and sighed.

"'Cuz, Joseph...when he's angry...yer at his mercy."

Her voice was breaking. Maybe he can get her to talk to him about how Joseph hits her.

"Why?"

She put her knees to her chin.

"He'll hit yah in the worst possible way. He'll literally kick yah when yer down on the ground. He has the same powers as Magneto."

She was shaking.

"He's hurt y', alot, hasn' he?"

Ofcourse he has!

She got up.

"Yeah. An' now yer wonderin' why Ah stay wit' him. It's cuz Ah know Ah deserve it. It helps meh learn from mah stupidity. An' who else would take a stupid girl lahke meh?"

She went to leave but Remy grabbed her arm.

"Rogue, don' say dat stuff. It ain't true."

She took shaky breaths.

"A-Ah hafta go t-ta work, Remy."

She ran out of the room and walked to work.

Sigh. Why couldn't he just tell her what she needed to hear?
