'Remy…' Remy's eyes snapped open as he felt Rogue hug him back. He pulled
her away just to see her beautiful face, alive and warm again.
'Chere? Can it really be…?' Rogue smiled a tinted red flooding into her cheeks.
'Ah think so, sugah.' Remy smiled, he could barely believe she was alive. And then he pulled her back and put his arms around her.
'Remy'll never let you go, Chere.' Rogue smiled inwardly as she put her arms around his neck, and laid her head on his shoulder.
'Don't let me go Remy. Ah never wanna leave ya again.' Remy opened his eyes and lifted her up into his arms. He stared down at her, laying her head on his chest and smiling up at him. He smiled back.
'Well first Remy gonna hafta get Chere out of danger.' He searched for another exit, but the place was pretty much torched. The fire was huge, to big to stop. They had to get out now, but how? It seemed like they had just found love when everything was coming to an end…why was life so cruel?
But at that moment it seemed like fate had dealt them a winning hand. Just as Remy shielded Rogue from the flames, they saw a familiar brown haired girl searching among the ruble. When she finally saw them, she hurried to their side.
'Seems like someone's got a lot of fire power…'
'Never mind Kitty, just get us outta here!' Rogue coughed as a beam fell from the ceiling. Rogue and Remy both took Kitty's hand and they walked threw the wall into the outside world. Rogue fell to the ground and coughed, her back was now in pain again.
Jean rushed to her side and fixed her up best she could for the time being.
'You're lucky you're alive!'
'Ah sure am.' Rogue said as she held Remy's hand…which was when she noticed something out of the ordinary…she wasn't wearing gloves.
'Remy!!!'
'What is it chere?!?' She broke free of his hand and stared at her hand. She then slowly patted Remy's hand. She then looked at him anxiously.
'Anythin'?' Remy blinked and frowned.
'Non. Nothing.' Jean then put her hand on Rogue's bear arm. Jean also frowned.
'How is it possible? Have you lost your powers?' Rogue thought for a minute. Was this good or bad? She had always wanted to be able to touch, and it was just as wonderful as she'd imagined…but she felt so ordinary. Like she was no longer special.
Jean saw Rogue's confusion and being the Good Samaritan she was, she kindly came to the rescue.
'Maybe it's just temporary.' She said. Rogue looked up at Jean and saw that Jean was genuinely trying to make her happy. Rogue related her powers to Jean. She hated them, and yet without them she felt she just couldn't get by.
'Maybe…'
'Let's just get you back to the Institute. We'll figure it out, Rogue. I promise.' And home they went…home…it sounded kind of funny. And yet it sounded really right.
'Chere? Can it really be…?' Rogue smiled a tinted red flooding into her cheeks.
