Logan drove around on Scott's bike keeping his senses open for her. It had been a month since
he left the school in search for Marie. He was loosing his mind thinking about what could have
happened to her. His best guess was that she was dead, but a voice in his head, the voice he
carried with him to accompany him on the long roads told him to keep looking and that she was
alive and searching for him. Her voice. He never realized how much he wanted to wake-up to the
sound of her voice every morning as she kissed his forehead.

Over the past few months, Xavier had been working on a way for everyone to get around Rogue's
skin problem. He developed a second skin to be surgically endued into her skin. It would react
as normal skin, would feel like normal skin, and protect everyone around her. But it was only
available for her face and lips. There was no way for them to create that much "access skin"
for her entire body. She would still have to wear the gloves and be dressed in full body
clothing, for the rest of her life.

Logan continued to search for her. The others had given up hope weeks ago. The professor and
Jean were always telling him to just give up and face the fact that she is dead when he called
to check in every once in awhile. He simply growled into the phone and slammed it onto the
receiver. She can't be dead. She is strong at heart. I will find her! He repeated this in
his head over and over again until he couldn't think of anything else. That's it Logan!
Don't give up on me! Ah am alive Sugah and ah am waiting fer ya! Ya are close to me! With
her voice running through his head, and on that note he pressed the little button on the
motorbike and sped off into the pitch blackness of the night, searching for the one person he
loved more than his own life. His Marie.

Rogue had been walking across the streets of Canada for months, hoping for a miracle. Hoping
that Logan would find her. It was the dead of winter now and all she had were the pair of jeans
and shirt she was taken in. Stained with blood and covered in dirt and snow. Her gloves had
flung off as she ran away from Saber tooth. Anytime someone offered to help her, she would turn
and run in fear of hurting them.

She was more alone then she ever had been. Her mind was slowly being taken over by all the
voices that coursed through her mind. First there was Logan who told her to stop and stay in
one place so he could find her. She knew of course that if she stopped, Magneto or the police
would find her. She had already ran from the police twice before barely dodging bullets. "GET
HER! GET THE MUTANT! SHOOT HER!" their voices ran

The next voice was Magneto yelling at her for running away. Threatening her to come back or he
would find Logan and kill him and make her watch. No matter how hard she tried; he was the one
voice that stuck out in her mind. She was afraid of him and afraid that he would take over her.
She was finally free from ropes and chains, but "he" was always holding her captive in her
mind.

Slowly Rogue, I will invade your mind and control your every movement. You will obey to
whatever I have to say and your precious Logan will slowly die by your own hands! Magneto's
voice screamed at her causing her to fall to her knees grabbing her head begging for him to stop.

Logan slowed down when he saw a girl on the ground clutching her head. He sensed that Marie was
near. Her smell on the other hand was being covered with the scent of blood and tears. She
was close and that's all that mattered. That's when he saw the two white streaks appear from the
young woman's head as she turned to look at the motorbike passing by...
