For you that do not know, Cody was Rogue's first love in Mississippi. He

was the one that her powers first manefested on and is quite literaly, always

in the back of her mind.



Rememberances

"What is this!" A southern womans cry reached out. "Is this some sort of joke?"

"Marie.. Marie!" A blond haired boy pleaded. "It's really me!"

"Ya died in muh arms! Ya can't be who ya say ya are!" She shreeked.

"Yea..Ah know, but it's hard to explain." Cody started. "Ah was in this black place

But, Ah caught little snippets of light every now and then." He explained.

"Ah couldn't move ta wipe away th' dirt that kept falling on my face and Ah felt like Ah

couldn't breath."

"My Word!" Our southern belle breathed. "We burried ya alive! Ya were dead, Cody!" She stated.

"Everything we has said there wasn't a chance!"

"Ah was here." He said as he touched Rogue's head gently with a gloved hand. "Ah was in there all

along. My body was gone. Ah wasn't. Ah could never leave you, Marie."

"How did you come back?" She asked, tearfully.

"Ah felt a little tug, about a month ago, from where Ah was in you'r mind." A voice alot like the Professor's

tugging me out, and Ah ended up in here." He said. "Not mine, but too much like it."

"Ya know about the Professor?" Rogue asked shocked.

"Ah know everything you know." Cody stated. "When Ah left, you'r powers went haywire. Ah'm sorry."

"You kept them from doing that!? All this time?" She asked." For me? Why?"

"Because Ah loved you, Marie." He contenued. "Ah've always loved you. But that's not

the point, your Professor wasn't the one who drew me out."

"Who? Cody, if it's really you, Who did this?" She asked

"Ah don't know his name, my Angel, Ah don't know!" Cody said. " There was

this weird place with landscapes and webs, Ah can't explain, but this creature came

at me, teeth and all, then, Ah woke up." Cody elaborated. "There was this tank of

water and on the outside, there was this pale man. When he grinned at me,

Ah was scared, Ah couldn't hear anything he said through the glass. I'm sorry, my love."

"Cody," Che asked softly. "What do you remember from before that?"

"You." He smiled. "My one constant thought is of you. Thirteen, smiling and swinging

on Muh old tire swing. Dressed in Yoa Easter best and covered in mud."

"Sweet talker." She mussed. "That wasn't what Ah was askin."

"Gambit? Ah know all about him, and Honey, Ah ain't ashamed. that was the past."

Cody said.

"How did you get here, Cody? How did you know where Ah was?" She pointed out.

"Might sound kinda corny." Cody said. "A girl named Threnody let me out before

She and this weird guy left."

"That sounds like something she'd do." Rogue stated. " How'd you know where Ah was?"

"There was something in muh head, Rogue, Ah had mental pictures of you and Ah knew Ah

Had to follow. They lead me here." He told her.

"That was you? Ah thought Ah was going crazy! What about the way Ah look? You know then, Ah obsourbed

a krull?" Rogue asked.

"You always looked beautiful to me." Cody said.

"Why, Cody? Why keep looking after nearly ten years, what kind of person does that?"

Rogue started. "Are yuh mad at me? You know, for putting you in this in the first place?

Are you looking for revenge?"

"No Marie." Cody said. "The kind of man that keeps looking, is just one in love."
