So the beginning of this chapter is no my best. But you see what a monster Scarlet is and stuff, so, fun. I'm not sure exactly what Scarlet can do- but I read she can basically do anything, so…Anywho. Read/Review/Enjoy.

Crack Goes the Broken Heart

"Sweetie, are you okay?" Warren entered his room to see Rogue curled up on the bed crying.

"No, I came back…and…and…you weren't here."

"I'm sorry baby; I was taking Scott to go see Mystique. She's gonna work with him on some training."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?" Warren picked her up and cradled her in his arms.

"Scarlett wanted me to k-kill Storm."

"Did you?" Warren asked.

"No, I told her I couldn't. She said she'd take care of it. Oh God. Does that mean she…?"

"Are you sure this woman is the best person to go into business with?"

"No, maybe not. Oh God, I have to go check on Storm, what if she…" but Rogue was around the corner before she could finish her sentence. She bound down the hall in a fast pace, her breathing harsh. When she arrived at Scarlett's office; she twisted the handle. Locked. A piercing scream came from under the door and Rogue began to bang on it. She threw herself at it- but it wouldn't budge. Hank's voice came from inside. He was moaning and then screaming.

"NO!" Rogue burst into tears. Warren was soon by her side banging at the door.

"Move away." Warren backed away to the wall and then jumped up and flew towards it full speed. He crashed through the door and for a moment it was dark inside the room- then her office suddenly just appeared. Scarlett was leaning on her desk clutching her head with both hands and wincing.

"WHY did YOU do THAT?" Scarlett snarled. Rogue ignored her and rushed to two bodies sitting at the edge of the room. But it was too late. Storm was laying there, blood rushing from too many places to describe. Hank looked worse, cut up, chopped up and just plain bad. It was horrible. Rogue screamed in agony, banging her fists on the floor. Warren fell to his knees and wiped his own tears from his eyes. Rogue let off a sad smile. Storm and Hank were holding hands. Even though they were dead, their love still sat.

"It's time to move on Rogue," Scarlett whispered from the other side of the room, "These people are holding you back. All of them. You have power- unlimited power. Just think, soon you will have everything you've ever wanted. You'll have power, money and as many men as you want."

"STOP! You're manipulating her!" Warren snapped jumping up and rising up in the air- his wings flapping strongly and quickly. He flew down towards Scarlett and her hand suddenly jolted up.

"I always hated little birds." She snatched his wing before he could react, tore it off, and flung him across the room.

"They're all holding you back," Scarlett hissed, forming a small flame in her hand. She threw it furiously at Warren- who was unable to dodge due to his prior injury. As the fire hit him and let out an ear shattering scream. Rogue simply looked over at him in sorrow. She was clutching her stomach tightly. Warren screamed again as his body began to bleed. Rogue stood up and stumbled over to where he lay. She turned to Scarlett and reached out her hand, grabbing on to Scarlett's wrist. Scarlett whimpered as she went pale- suddenly falling to the ground. Rogue wiped one last tear from her eye and then formed a floating source of water in the palm of her hand. She let it drop on Warren's body and he sighed, clutching his stomach where'd the fire had burned through his clothes and onto his stomach.

"I'm done Rogue," he whispered, "I'm leaving." Rogue didn't say anything for a moment, then she spoke softly to him.

"Alright. I've made my promise to Scarlett; I have to…stay here." Warren's face was full of sorrow, pain, suffering, regret and so much more. His face tore Rogue's heart out and stepped on it. Just his eyes. His sad eyes. It broke her heart. He slid off the desk and limped over to the door.

"Rogue, you do have power. Lots of it. Scarlett can help you achieve your full potential, but while you're doing that- remember- your guardian angel will always be there. Wandering. Waiting. I'll wait for you. But I'm taking Scott and going. Goodbye." Rogue put her hand to her heart and could swear- she felt the crack of it breaking in half.
