'when a telepath sends a message to a large group of people'
This chapter is about what happens after Rogue is free of the inhibiting device that was implanted in her arm. How will the energy starved Rogue react after being caged? What happens when a wild animal is caged and they finally break free? Can you guess?
Chapter 34 ~ His Mesmirahzin' eyes
"Chere! Wha' are yo' doin'? We godda get out o' here now!" Remy yelled as he went to grab her hand and try to tug her to the ground and out the door. She snatched her hand back before he could touch her. The multi colored eyes followed his every move but the mutant goddess didn't budge. Her head cocked to the side and her expression changed to curiosity but no recognition lit her haunting face. Logan looked back and forth between Remy, Rogue and Alex.
"What's your name, bub?" Logan called to a stunned Alex. Alex blinked a few times as if first realizing he wasn't the only one in the room besides Rogue.
"Commander Alex Radon." he said in a choked voice just loud enough for Logan's hearing to pick it up.
"Do you know how to get out of here?" he shouted back. Alex just nodded slowly with a dumb look on his face. "Good. Get your ass outta here because it's about to get real ugly for everyone. Humans and mutants alike..." Alex cocked his head not very unlike Rogue had hers.
"No...one...leaves..." Rogue's voice was an echo as if bouncing off the walls of a cave but her lips never moved. Her multi colored eyes shifted over to Alex and locked onto his. Alex met her gaze, a look of terror crossed his features briefly but a certain proud expression masked it. "NO...ONE..." A multi colored mental shield burst from Rogue's mind and grew till it pushed past the walls and covered the compound for miles around. She disappeared in a green cloud of sulfur and brimstone. Remy turned to Logan and put his hands on his hips not unlike Rogue does.
"I don' t'ink dat anyone be leavin' anytime soon." he said sarcastically. Logan rolled his eyes and motioned for Alex to come closer.
"Rogue isn't going to leave this compound meaning she must want something or someone in here. Who was with Rogue when she's been energy starved? Anyone she would have a motive to come after?" he asked in a hurry.
"Besides me? Um...Dr. Sinister. He was the primary chief on the ultimate mutant weapon project, A.K.A. Rogue. He was in charge of every experiment she underwent." he was slowly beginning to come back to his senses.
"Where is the bastard?" he barked.
"In the laboratories. Last time I saw him he was with a mutant in some experiment when I went to talk to him about Rogue's condition. It's this way. I'll show you."
He ran out the doorway and into the hall merely toppling over all the debris in the halls. Logan snatched Remy's arm and barreled down the halls after Alex as he weaved his way in and out doors and halls. Alex began to slow down as the debris became thicker then ever. He stopped dead at a corridor that was completely blocked off by concrete and metal several feet thick.
"It's right after this but it's completely sealed off." he searched frantically through the rubble for a way in.
"Maybe for some people." Logan whispered and looked over at Remy. Remy caught his eye and smiled with a childish glee.
"Ce serait mon plaisir." he gave him a curt mock bow and walked over to the blockage. He laid both hands on the slabs of cement and metal. The objects began to glow a slight pink, then a red then a deep crimson. "Fire in de hole." Remy ran to join Alex and Logan around the corner of the corridor. The explosion blasted the concrete enough to send it flying past them. Logan crept around the corner of the corridor and peeked at the site. A gaping hole where the blockade was seconds before had cleared most of thr debris leading to the next room.
"That'll work." He leapt up to his feet as Alex and Remy both scrambled to their feet and catch up the him. A thick metal door sealed the way into the room which Logan made short work of and soon metal slabs clattered one by one to the floor. Inside, a very beaten and bloody Dr. Sinister was pinned against the wall by several spikes...some piercing his limbs. Blood frothed from his mouth and his white hair was in disarray but his cold eyes were clear and calm and stared with indifference at the other side of the room.
"Ya're a loathsome vahle beast. Usin' ya own species foh ya sick, twisted an' depraved uses an' experahments." She floated up to him, mere centimeters from his face and spat at him . "Ah should drain ya dry. But then again Ah don' wan' ya dirtah mahnd in mah head." her voice still held the echo quality but the beast inside her was gaining some emotion to it besides ferocious need.
"Rogue!" Remy shouted out at her. Rogue froze for an instant, her body rigid with only her hair moving from her powers. She whirled around to face the new intruders and floated down so her face was mere inches from Remy's. She cocked her head to the side like a bird with a small smirk that twitched to her lips. Logan went crashing into the wall and was held motionless at the same instant Alex was sent crashing into the opposite wall next to Sinister and held there as well. Remy remained where he was, untouched by her power.
"Who are ya?" she asked curiously. She got even closer to his face but with a caution as if she was scared to actually touch him.
"Don' yo' rememb'r ol' Rems?" he asked with coy grin but a tear made a wet trail down his cheek. His eyes drank in the sight of her and he felt his heart contract. His empathy picked up her swirling emotions of bitter resentment, deep hatred and... a lost and lonely sensation. Her clothes were mere rags that clung to her food starved body. Her white hair seemed to have claimed another inch worth of her hair. With her control being suppressed for so long and not having energy enough to keep ALL the powers in check they would begin to eat at her.
"Rems..." Rogue's real voice whispered. Her green eyes flashed amidst the other colors but was viciously suppressed back as a snarl replaced the real Rogue. "Ah remembah ya now. Ah looked at ya from the insahde...nevah allowed tah really wallow in ya enahgy...long." her voice was cruel and vicious with a beast's instinct for food. She turned her back on him and looked over at Sinister who watched with the same cold expression, amazingly still clinging to life like a leech. "Ah'm not goin' back in chains. This monstah wouldn' let meh have enahgy. He'll pay." She began to fly over to Sinister.
Rogue felt a warmth envelope her entire core. She froze immediately in mid air, letting her eyes flutter close, not daring to move an inch in fear she might lose the comfort of that feeling. She dimly felt something pull her arm and lift her chin as she was held against the same warmth and comfort. This energy was something she had never felt before. No other human or mutant she had absorbed ever had this kind of energy. Her eyes fluttered open slowly. Glowing red eyes met hers. An almost hypnotic combination of a fiery passion in a vast void of emotion. She saw herself reflected back and realized she was glowing with a reddish glow as well.
She glanced down at herself an confirmed that it was true. A hand on her interwove her fingers with theirs and brought them to soft but hot lips. She felt her vicious need begin to subside slowly as the warmth replaced the hunger that ate at her. She was wrapped in the warmth and comfort as a silky purr of a voice whispered in her ear as she closed her eyes.
"Revenu à moi, mon amour. Vous et moi avez été fait l'un pour l'autre. Personne ne vous prendront de moi aussi longtemps que je suis ici... personne..." he purred.
"Remy...Ah wan' tah tell ya somethan'-" she whispered. Green eyes opened to meet his own.
"Mon amour, I know about de book dat yo' read. An' I too noticed de similarities between yo' too, but I also noticed de differences as well. Rememb'r wha' I tol' yo' about knowing who yo' are?" she nodded slowly with tears in her eyes that pride didn't allow to spill over her auburn lashes. "The lessons you learn, will be the wisdom you earn. Dat woman ne'er did de t'ings yo' have done o' was she as strong as yo'. De lesson is dis...dat no matter what the likeness between yo' two are yo' be two differen' people. An' dis lesson comes wit' wisdom dat can give comfort... jus' like a kiss..." He pulled her tighter in his embrace and kissed her fiercely on the lips. She felt his teeth and tongue as her tongue explored his mouth and his hers.
Logan and Alex fell to the ground as the psychic shield gave way over the compound and receded back into her mind. Rogue smiled up at him with bright green eyes that shined with a light not seen to Remy in months. Logan and Alex cleared their throats at the same time to bring them back to reality. Rogue looked at the two, both practically danced on their toes as their eyes made glances at the exit. Reality kicked in for the two. A loud siren was blaring away as they heard several hundred footsteps pounding on the metal floors in unison, all heading their way. Logan looked about for another way out but the room was a dead end.
"Logan, the onlah way out is up!" Rogue shouted over the ever growing sound of footsteps.
*These must be the rejects from the F.B.I.* the conscience who had been absent the entire time of her captivity piped up.
'Nahce tah know ya're still with meh, sugah.' she couldn't help the smile that was forming on her lips.
"Alex where are our bikes?" Logan whirled on Alex.
"In the garage across this part of the compound." he shot back.
"Rogue, can you get us to the roof?"
"Ah can' teleport unless Ah can see where Ah'm goin'. But Ah got a bettah idea." she said slyly.
She stepped away from Remy and connected a line to Magneto's psyche. Feeling refreshed from Remy's energy the metal tore away from the roof like butter. She turned to the collection of debris still scattered about and with a wave of her hand came sliding and flying in a heap in the open corridor. She evolved Pyro's powers with her control and created a firado that made it's way to the scraps of metal that floated where the blockade had been. The heat of the swirling flames melted the metal scraps that swirled themselves into a mass that resembled a liquid quick silver ameba. Fatal fumes erupted out of the bubbles from the boiling mass.
Shots begin to fire from the newly arrived soldiers striking Alex in the left shoulder mere inches from his heart. Logan grabbed him and ripped a part of his shirt off and tried to staunch the flow of blood that began to pour from his body.
Rogue spared a glance behind her, another bullet grazed her head. She felt her anger rise inside her as her subconscious connected a line to Jean's psychic powers. A wave of telekinesis shot past the still liquid barrier, knocking all the soldiers in it's powerful path off their feet and against the opposite walls. Rogue cut the connection to Jean's psyche with annoyance and let the liquefied metal splash onto the floor still bubbling. The liquid began making a lazy path into the room as well as into the hall giving the soldiers precious little time to clear the hall or die from the fatal fumes and if that didn't kill them then they would get trapped in the metal with it solidfied.
"Now where?!" Logan shouted. Rogue used Magneto's powers to rip down the roof to form a ramp to the roof. She ran over to Alex and picked him up with ease with the Blob's strength and turned to the ramp. "Come on, up the ramp. From there we can make our way to the garage without running into doors and unwanted friends." she said running up the ramp.
"What about the other mutants still trapped here?" Logan yelled over the still blaring siren.
"Ah'm workin' on it. One than' at a tahme." They followed her up the ramp and onto the roof. Above them was a slightly overcast sky, heavy with snow. The smell of fresh air assaulted Rogue's senses with a surge of good humor.
"Is anybody else suspicious that there isn't any helicopters?" he eyed the sky all around but not a one was in the sky.
"Non, Remy t'ink Rogue might o' scared dem off like what happened last time." Remy chuckled.
Rogue gently laid Alex down on the roof, blood had soaked through his clothing and had stained hers as well. Sweat had formed on his face and his skin was clammy and cold. Rogue used her magnetism to draw out the bullet through the hole it created so it wouldn't do any more damage. His face cringed and his fists clenched open and closed as she extracted the bullet.
"I'm going to die. Just leave me here and go on and get out of here while you can." his voice was strained.
"Oh shut up, Alex. We're not soldiers on a battlefield. Not to mention you'll be walking fine in a few minutes. Maybe a little tired but you'll be fine. Now stop your squirming and keep still."
Rogue connected a line to the high school boy's psyche and drew his powers threw the connection like a straw. She placed a green glowing hand on the wind and closed her eyes in concentration. Alex began to feel the pain subside and finally disappear altogether. Alex took a deep breath to test his health. No pain gripped his body. He looked up at Rogue with awe and admiration. The green glow disappeared and she opened her eyes and wiped off her pale blood covered hand.
"Rogue, if I ask you a question will you not laugh?" he asked seriously, sitting up.
"Ya just did but go ahead." she smiled at him and stood and helped him to stand as she scanned the skies for any aircraft.
"Are you an angel?" he whispered. His cheeks turned into beacons of red with embarrassment. Rogue looked at him with shock and for a moment he thought he had made her cry but the swift pride dispatched them with force.
"Ah'm no angel, Alex. If anahthan' Ah'm a grim reaper an' nothin' that has tah do with God." she turned away from him but came face to face with the Cajun.
"Da's not true, mon amour an' yo' know it. 'ow many times do I have t' tell yo' dat yo' nothin' dark an' even create yo' own light. Don' e'er say dat again. Yo' know I love yo'." He grabbed her up in a fierce hug and released her gently, love shining in his eyes.
"God the airm simmers around you people. Can we just get the hell out of here now? Rogue can you find where the mutants are?" Logan was obviously fed up with the mush mushy.
"Yes, sir." Rogue laughed and gave him a mock salute.
(a/n...It seems I'm always apologizing for this human's failures and mistakes. Bet ya thought I wasn't going to continue! As I said in the beginning to matter what happens accept in the unlikely event this body dies I WILL finish this book. This is the second part of the book I like to call the last battles. Hope you enjoy this half of the book, because I know you will with what I have planned. Still more coming so keep sending the reviews. ~Black Enchantress)
