This is Not Enough



Telepathy



"Exactly how much did you tell them?" Faye Ma'at sighed.

"Does it matter?" Lady Hawk nodded.

"Yes, of course it does! It was her personal life!"

"And if I did tell them who was to die and why?" Lady Hawk glared at her.

"It is none of our business." Faye Ma'at didn't say anything. "Well?!"

"Do not worry, I only told them that someone she cared for would have died. I know where the line is." The two were silent.

"Do you think . . . ?" Faye Ma'at shrugged.

"She can not . . ." Lady Hawk stood up knocking over the chair she sat in.

"WHY? WHY NOT?!" Faye Ma'at turned and glare.

"Do not think that I wish to stay in this hellhole you call life. All I want to do is die. But I can not!"

"Why don't you die! Why do you stay and keep the child away form her loved ones?!"

"Because my father in inside of this body! She may have dealt with voices trying to take over before but it is nothing compared to him! She will not last!" Lady Hawk sighed.

"Is there any way for her to be here? There has to be!" Faye Ma'at thought for a moment.

"Perhaps, but . . ." Lady Hawk looked her straight in the eye.

"But what?"

"It is not enough."



Blade sighed and watched the sun go down. She sat on top of the mansion and had her legs over the side. The Acolytes had left already. She had her stuff and the mansion now. Andrew was going to be moving to Bayville in a few months. Thing were . . . alright. But still it wasn't the same. Why? Rogue. 'Rogue . . . why'd you couldn't you be selfish?! Anyone else would have died in your place! This isn't fair.' Blade reached up and wiped away some tears. She sighed and leapt off the roof and landed gracefully on the ground. She heard the sound of wheels.

"Professor?" She turned and looked at him. "Is there something that you need?" Professor Xavier shook his head.

"No, I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Blade almost asked why. She caught herself. She knew the answer. Blade sighed and shrugged.

"We were like sisters. She was one of the best friends I have ever had. She knew things that no one else knew. There were somethings that I just couldn't tell others that I could tell her. She was my very best friend. She was the only Fury who never got fed up with my jokes or easy going attitude. I just don't want her to be gone." Professor Xavier nodded.

"Yes, it has been very hard on all of us. Some more than others." Blade sighed and nodded.

"I just . . . I just wish I knew who Rogue gave up her life for."

"As do we all Blade, as do we all."



Lady Hawk walked into Smokescreen as she left the room with Faye Ma'at.

"Crystal. I need to talk to you and Angelic Demon." Crystal nodded.

"Alright, Angelic Demon is in her room right now." The two left for her room.



Remy sat in the metal orb. 'Chère, wish dings could have been different. You know dat I would have given up my life for you.' With a soft thud the orb landed and opened. Remy got out and went to the briefing room. After a few moments John and Piotr came in. The three sat in silence for less than a minute before Magneto and Sabertooth came in.

"I want you all to know that things are back to normal. There is little chance of us teaming up with Charles again." With that said he left along with Sabertooth.

"He doesn't think were smart enough to figure that out?!" John cried out. Piotr nodded.

"Yes comrade, he doesn't think highly of our intelligence does he?" John sighed and shook his head.

"That Sheila is dead. All that left of her mates is that Faye Ma'at character. I don't think that things are normal." The other two nodded. John cracked a grin at the two. "Besides, I think that you had taken a liking to a Sheila." Piotr stood up.

"I think it is time for us to rest." John nodded.

"Yeah maybe your right mate, but I saw the way you acted around the Sheila that could go through things." John ran off when Piotr changed to his metal form and started toward him. After throwing a glare in the direction John ran off to Piotr changed back. He yawned alittle and stretched. He turned and left. But right when he passed Remy he paused and put a hand on his shoulder.

"This will get better over time." With that said he left. Remy blinked a few times. He then smirked. 'Didn' realize I was dat obvious . . .'



Alana Heart nodded as Crystal and Hellwing stood in shock at what she told them.

"Well what the hell are we waiting for?!" Hellwing yelled. Alana and Crystal glared at her.

"Do not raise your voice so!" Crystal hissed. Hellwing, or Angelic Demon, glared at Crystal.

"I'll raise my voice when I damn well please!" Crystal took a step towards her but Alana came in between them.

"Enough! Both of you be quiet! We must do this alone and if you continue to yell they will find out!" Hellwing huffed and sat down.

"Why must we continue to do things in secret?" Crystal asked. "I mean, we did so before and look where is got us all." Alana sighed and shrugged.

"It . . . is not our way. We . . . we obey the mistress, it has been like that since before the Furies were even a dream. The mistress comes first. That is why." Crystal and Hellwing glanced at each other and nodded.

"So," Crystal began, "What must we do?"



Alana entered the room Faye Ma'at was in. She closed the door after her. In her hands she held a large box. She placed it down close to the door and walked over to Faye Ma'at. She placed a hand on her shoulder to let her know she was standing there.

"Mistress, I have what you wanted." Faye Ma'at looked at her with tried eyes.

"Thank you." Alana smiled and made her way to the door. At the door she threw one more looked over her shoulder and left. Once outside the door she wiped away a tear that had been lining her eye and look sniffed. She looked around and made sure no one saw her. Quickly she went to her room. Once she was in the room she locked the door and leaned back against the door. She slide down the door and sat on the ground. Alana pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed into her arms. Back in the room Faye Ma'at got up slowly and made her way painfully towards the box. She finally reached the box and fell to her knees. 'I . . . I do not have much more time. Alittle more than a day maybe.' Faye Ma'at reached into the box and pulled out a video camera. She set it up and turned in on. Faye Ma'at sat down in front of it and gave a tired smile.

"Hello everyone. First, I would like you to know that I have given everyone a different disc containing a recording for that person. There are many things I would like to tell you all."



Faye Ma'at pressed the off button. She put the disc into an envelope. She had several. One for each X-man and Fury. Even one for Mystique, Destiny, and Gambit. Gambit. Faye Ma'at had no idea where she could find him. Rogue had not absorbed enough to know that. But she did know how to contact him. She looked at the clock. It was midnight. She reached into the box and pulled out a duffle bag and an envelope. In the bag there were some clothes. She quickly changed into the green turtle neck and dark blue pants. She tugged on a black leather jacket and pulled on some gloves. Faye Ma'at kicked on the tennis shoes and put on a bandana to cover her hair. She puled a plane ticket out of the envelope. She read the information.

1:15 flight to Chicago

There was another ticket in there.

1:50 flight to Bayville, New York

Faye Ma'at blinked a couple times before realizing that Chicago was two hours behind. ((Am I right? I think I'm right. If not, just pretend that I am. I do that all the time!!! Mwahahahaha . . . oh, back to the story . . .)) 'So, that gives me maybe 30 minutes to get what I need . . . thank god Blade's powers are with Rogue and her body for good. Never would make it in time . . .' Faye Ma'at quietly made her way out of the mansion. Taking one glance back she saw Alana standing at her window. She waved once and was going. She didn't, however, notice Professor Xavier watching. He closed his eyes and thought about what he just saw as he wheeled into his study. Ororo and Logan were there.

"Did ya see somethin' Chuck?" Charles Xavier thought for a moment.

"I don't know Logan, I don't know." Ororo and Logan exchanged glances.

"What do you mean Charles?" Ororo asked. Xavier was about to answer when he heard Alana's voice in his head.

Professor Xavier, I hope you get this. I know that you saw her. If not that you must have sensed her leave. Please do not tell the others. It is something that she must do without anyone else.

"Nothing, I think it was a bird of some sort. Perhaps it is time to go to bed." There two nodded and left.

What do you mean Alana? There was a pause.

It is not my place. Besides, not even I truly know and I have been sworn to silence.

I understand. Goodnight Ms. Heart.

Thank you. Goodnight Professor Xavier.



Alana Heart laid down on her bed, tried. She closed her eyes praying that Faye Ma'at would be able to finish whatever it was she had left to do.

"For your sake and Rogue's, I hope this is over soon."
