"What are you doing?"

"Hello!" John looked over at Jean and glared at her. He sat in brooding silence, flicking through channels. She realized that he was completely ignoring her. "You are such a jerk."
"You are such a bitch." He muttered, mocking her. She stood in front of the TV and crossed her arms. "Move, goddammit!" He snarled at her.
"Not until you apologize to me." She snapped. He gaped at her.
"Me? Apologize to you!?" He stared at her. "What about you? You start with me all the time. I don't speak to you unless you piss me off. Get the hell outta my way before I make you."
"You've been very rude to-" He stood up and glared angerly at her. He clenched his fists at his sides.
"I don't want you in my fucking sight!" He saw that she wasn't going to move. "Fine, I can clearly see that you don't want me here. Let me tell you this, the feeling is mutual!" He stormed out of the room, practically throwing the remote on the couch. Amara leaned against the wall in the other room. She sank to the floor. If Jean kept this up, he would leave. She got up and ran outside. She searched around but couldn't see him anywhere. She bit her lip then ran inside and up the stairs, toward his room. He was in there. Brooding and packing his things.
"St. John.." She whispered outside his door. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She fought the urge to let them flow, but they did anyway. She ran to her room and slammed the door, throwing herself on her bed. 'Calm down..' She thought to herself. 'How do you know he is really leaving for good?' She shook her head. She was getting attached. Rogue had said something like this might happen. She should've been prepared. Piotr was walking by when he heard a whimper. It sounded so broken-hearted. He knocked then went in.
"Amara?" He was shocked to see her so upset. She had just been so happy. "What happened?"
-
Rogue sat with Gage. She hugged him to her then watched as he walked away to go play in the sand. He had wanted to go to the park. She thought it was a pretty day. She sat down and looked over at the van.
"Remy!" She rolled her eyes. He came out with the small blanket and the little picnic basket. She smiled and he walked toward her. She helped him with the blanket then they sat down. Rogue wasn't too big. Remy wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close. She started to get a headache but she thought nothing of it.
-
During the night, Rogue woke up in a cold sweat for nothing. She felt a searing pain in her hands and looked down in horror to see long, bony claws stuck out from between her knuckles. She cried out and blood flowed freely from the cuts, dripping onto the blanket. Something moved at her side, or should we say someone, and the light flared to life. Tears of agony stung her eyes. She gritted her teeth and heard shouting, but the pain was so excruciating that she couldn't focus and make out the words. She heard gasps of horror and cries for help. She was unable to control anything. Her eyes turned a milky white color and lightning struck through the window. She could feel the pain of the claws and the powers, personalities, and emotions trying to win control over her body and mind. She managed to maintain control of her breathing.
"Help.." She whispered. She screamed, the wind becoming so fierce, that the windows blew out and lamps tipped over. A familiar crying reached her ears and her heart broke. She couldn't control anything to save her son.. Gage. She tried to fight it off but it made the pain worse. Xavier tried to communicate by telepathy but she threw up a barrier of psychic energy. It formed a wall between her and the other mutants. Gage was locked on her side. In the fierce winds and the uncontrollable dangers.
"Gage!" She heard. It was Remy's voice. He screamed out in pain when she thought about him. Nothing could break her barrier. A red glow came to the surface and settled over her eyes. She shot it out and the barrier broke, causing the lasers to hit several of the X-Men at unawares. Her head was muddled, confused in all the commotion. She levitated off the bed. More lightning struck and thunder shook the entire foundation. She fell to the ground again. She was on her feet, facing the X-Men. She didn't know who was who. She didn't know friend from foe. She stomped her foot and plaster started to fall from the ceiling. A piece of ceiling fell over her but it bounced off her shield of psychic energy. Personalities flew through her at the speed of light. She couldn't breathe. She collapsed and everything went calm for a minute. Xaiver felt it safe to communicate, apparently.. but he was wrong. So very wrong.
'Rogue!' She looked up. She threw him back with her over-powering ability. Her eyes turned white again and she floated upwards. A tunnel swirled around her and crashed through the mansion. The power was painful, but strong. Rogue teleported out of the way of one of Scott's laser beams. She raised her arms and five copies of her appeared around her. One shot beams of ice from her hands, another shot lasers from her eyes, one of the others phased through the floor, and the last one lifted people with her powers. The original Rogue produced a dangerous storm. Finally, after Kurt teleported Logan up there, Rogue was pulled to the ground. She grabbed his hand and he felt a white hot pain shoot through him. He looked at his arm in astonishment. If she continued, his arm would be blown off. He looked into her eyes.
"Stripes.." He felt the pain end. Her piercing scream split the sounds, even the winds. One of her copies formed fire in her hands. Rogue looked up and the fire flew straight for Remy. He stood there, like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck. Suddenly, the fire was resisted and it stopped. Logan would've taken the advantage, but he had two copies to deal with. Rogue gave a frustrated cry and pushed the fire with all her might. John had no other choice but to pull them both out of the way. The fire hit the wall and caught fire. Ororo made it rain, having no other option open. Dark clouds formed in the sky. The rain never came.
"She's too strong.." Jean said, her eyes following everyone as they battled for their lives. Kitty handed Gage, whom she had grabbed a hold of in the fight, and handed him to Remy. She then phased through the floor and grabbed Rogue, phasing her half-way through. Rogue simply phased out.
"What can we do?"
"We need a distraction." John heaved a sigh.
"Since you're going to choose me anyway, I might as well go willingly." He looked to Amara. She handed him fire and he threw it at Rogue. He put all of his might into it. While she was distracted, her copies came together inside her. Logan grabbed her from behind.
"Control it again." She cried out in agony. She put her hands on her head and squeezed her eyes shut.
"Ah.. can't.." She fought it. She felt her burden lighten. She grabbed Logan's arm. She gasped. His memories and personality and powers were absorbed into her. She detached herself from him. She was scared. Afraid. She didn't know what to do. She cried. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She felt a zap of pain in her stomach. She doubled over. Every muscle in her body tensed. She cried out in pain. No sound came out. Everything went dark.
-
Remy sat at her side. A lot of blood had been lost. He had been kicked out. Hank still had not told him what happened. Finally, Hank came in.
"Will she be okay?" Logan asked. He had been sitting there since he was allowed to enter. He would not leave. He was sitting back a little from the bed and Remy. Hank sighed.
"Remember how she told you that she was pregnant?" Remy looked up. This caught his attention. "The child has been lost. She will recover in at least a few hours. I want her well-rested. Do not disturb her or I will kick you out." Remy exchanged glances with Logan.
"How will we tell her?" Logan asked.
"I will." Remy said softly.
