Rogue had just entered the supermarket when she though she saw Wolverine. When she had first left the Mansion, she had seen Remy's face and the others around every corner. Now it was starting again. She must really be missing everyone.

She blinked, but there was Logan. He grinned at her. She raced towards him, almost knocking over a half a dozen people. She was afraid that when she reached him, he'd fade away.

When he remained solid, she launched herself into the air and was caught by a very real, very solid Wolverine.

"Logan, what are you doing here?" Rogue asked. She knew that Logan didn't live in Georgia. The only person she had talked to since she left was Beast, who had outfitted her with his latest medical miracle: a power-negating bracelet. She could touch people without fear now, but it hadn't made her as happy as she thought it would.

"Rogue," Logan said, "There's a rather unique situation going on at the Mansion. The Professor is recalling all of the old X-Men that he can find. We have a new mutant on our hands that seems convinced that the world is going to end sometime very soon."

"What?" Rogue gasped, "How could they know?"

"Her power is prophecy," Wolverine said, "The Professor mind-searched her and it's all legitimate."

"How did she find you guys?" Rogue asked, "The school's been closed for almost 15 years."

"Apparently," Logan said, "Her parents were students there and told her about the school and us, but she won't say who her parents are. It could be a lot of people. The Professor couldn't keep track of all the students after they left."

"How old is she?" Rogue asked.

"She's 17," Logan said, "She could be anyone's kid." He paused, "Are you willing to come back?"

Rogue's throat closed up and she had to clear it before she could answer, "Oh, Logan, you know I'd love to, but when I left things were so--"

He stopped her, "The only one who blamed you was Storm. Rogue, we can't find her anywhere. She left after you did and didn't keep in touch. Neither did you, for that matter. We found you through Beast." He held out his hand to her, "Will you come back with me?"

Rogue slowly nodded and took his hand in her ungloved one. They walked out of the store together.

"Is there anyone you need to tell you're leaving?" Logan asked. They were at her apartment. She would leave her car in the garage and ride back with him.

"No," Rogue said, "There's just me living here."

"Well, yeah," Logan said, "But anyone you need to call? Friends, boyfriend?"

"No," Rogue said again, "There's just me. Even without my powers, I never really wanted anyone."

He shot her a look as they exited the house and got into his car, "You mean, there was never anyone you wanted but him."

"What?" Rogue said. Her head whipped towards him, "Remy's not the reason I never found a boyfriend."

Logan glared at her, "You smell like you're lying."

Rogue's cheeks flushed and she looked down.

Logan's voice softened, "I know you loved him, but he loved you, too, and he'd want you to find someone to be happy with."

"I know he loved me," Rogue whispered, "And I left him there to die."

Logan didn't say another word the whole drive to New York.
