I was *convinced* to write an epilogue. Scogue came back with a vengeance and actually beat Rietro in the end, but I did say earlier that votes counted were the ones before deciding chapter which was supposed to be the previous chapter, but then again I didn't choose last chapter did I? So to make this fair Scott gets Rogue, Pietro gets Marie. How? I wrote two alternate endings that have nothing to do with each other. This one is Scogue and the other one is Rietro, so read whichever one you want to. I hope this satisfies everyone.
I realized that I forgot to disclaim the song from last chapter; that was Toni Braxton's Fairy Tale. I thought of this story while listening to that song.
He looked like an angel. So beautiful, so precious. Perfection. I just couldn't believe it. Scott was not laying on his back with blood pouring out of his stomach. God, tell me it isn't so. Tell me that I would wake up and he would still be there. Tell me that it wasn't over. Distantly I heard someone moaning Scott's name. It was me. I was moaning, rather screaming for him. Shut up. I couldn't I just keep screaming for him. He just couldn't be. It wasn't fair. What had I done to deserve this eternal damnation? First cursed with the ability to drain people with my skin, thus, denying me a lover. Finally I find someone who would love me, the untouchable, only to have him snatched from me.
"Rogue!" I snapped out of my thoughts. Magneto hovered above. I stared at him numbly. He carefully scooped me into his arms and flew off with me. I just stared at the clouds numbly. Scott...
"Magneto!" I glanced at 'Ro, her eyes set on Magneto furiously. She was flying to us in her nightgown. I'm going to miss her. All of them...Daddy, Mommy, Kurt, Pietro, Lance, Mirage, Scott...Lighting gathered in 'Ro's hand. I was going to die and it didn't matter. Scott was dead I had nothing to live for. Nothing at all.
"I wouldn't do that. She'll be hurt too." She looked at me searchingly. I merely nodded. I was already dead, my heart just hasn't realized it and stop beating yet. Fight back, something in me hissed. I think it was Marie, but then again sweet innocent Marie would never say anything like that. Maybe it was one of the many voices in my head, but I, Rogue, did not have the energy, strength, or will to fight to him. I just didn't. More lightning gathered in 'Ro's hand. Her eyes begged me to forgive her. I forgive you and love you. Fight back. I can't. Tears welled up in my eyes, "If that won't convince you perhaps this will." He extended his his hand to a airplane that was flying past us. The plane stopped. I could hear the peoples screams of terror. They were going to die too. At least I would have company wherever I go.
"What's it going to be Storm? Rogue or the people on this plane. One of them have to go. Will you pick a bunch of people that in a second would abandon you or a child that has been a sister to you?"
'Ro took a deep breath, "It doesn't matter who I pick you're still not going to let Rogue go."
He chuckled, "That what was wrong with Xavier. He lacked guts."
"Charles Xavier lacks a lot of things." I definitely agree with that, but then again I'm the one not fighting back against Magneto. Magneto let go off the plane., "Let her go. You're going to die anyway why takes an innocent child with you?"
"That's were you're wrong. I'm not going to die. Rogue might, but not me." A large aircraft flew up to us. It opened its door, "That's our ride. Tell the others Rogue says good bye." We flew into his aircraft. I watched 'Ro, helplessly. She threw lighting at the aircraft. It merely dissipated. The door shut and we were off to wherever we were going to go. He laid me down on the floor and chained me to one of the walls. I watched him chain me to the wall. He walked to the controls and sat down. At least my death will mean something. Maybe humans and mutants could understand each other once a good half of them are mutants.
"Humans will never understand us." A woman's voice said in my head. My head snapped up. A women wiht long, black hair and piercing blue eyes was flying the plane. She glanced at me and turned her eyes back to where she was flying. Humans should understand you. You're just like them, I thought righteously. She glared at me.
"What are you two talking about?" Magneto asked.
"Couldn't you have picked a less bitchy mutant to put in that thing." She complained. Her high picthed voice grated my nerves. I'm glad her voice isn't that high when she talks to you telepathically.
"She's the only one that would work in it."
"Besides you that is." His eyes snapped to me. I felt my fight come back into me, "You're a hypocrite, Erik, do you know that?" I smiled at him dangerously.
"Must admit that I expected you to give me a hard time."
"I really thought you were smarter than that, Erik," I taunted. Adrenaline pumping through my veins. He merely arched his eyebrow at me, "If you haven't figured it out I'm not going to tell you, but I will ask one thing. Isn't it convenient how easily it was for you to capture me," I bluffed.
"You're bluffing."
"We'll see won't we."
"They don't know where I reside."
"I sure hope I'm not wearing a tracking device." He stood up and walked to me. He paused. I smiled dangerously. He couldn't check me for bugs, because then he would have to touch my skin. He stood up and pulled some gloves out of his pocket. I merely smile.
"Where is it?"
"The one place you wouldn't put even gloved hands," I taunted. His eyes widened in realization. My smile grew. He rose and went back to his seat, "They're going to catch up to you."
"By then it will be too late."
I took in the details of the Mutating Machine. Pretty impressive. I wonder if it really works. For my sake it better not.
"Where are they? I thought that you were wearing a tracking device." He mused mockingly.
"They're coming in the back way." I replied.
"Well then, they will be in time to see the feature presentation. I on behalf of all mutants and future mutants, would like to thank you for your sacrifice for your brethren. You will never be forgotten." I felt my breath come in quick breaths. I had never feared death, but suddenly I did. I didn't want to die. He flipped the switch. The bars began to spin. They picked up speed. I wanted to live. My body began to tingle. I glanced at Magneto who was smiling like a child on Christmas Day. Disgust filled me. He had to pay. He had to pay for Mommy, Daddy, Kurt, Scott...me. I had to make him pay. Dammit, he would pay. Energy filled me. Everything around me began to glow. The light became blinding.
"What? What's going on?" I heard Magneto yelled. I couldn't see him anymore.
Something in me snapped. Words from I don't know where tumbled out of my mouth.
"For every life,
For your eternal strife,
On this day,
A thousand fold you shall pay.
The worse death, you shall die today."
I could hear Magneto screaming in agony. More energy poured into me. I keep repeating those words over and over. A big explosion occurred. The light slowly subsided. I blinked and looked around. The machine was destroyed. I stepped out of it, glanced around, and notice Magneto lying face down and Fearoh standing over him, confused.
"Ayisha?" I asked. She looked at me, then down at Magneto.
"How-How did I get here?" She asked me. I stared at her, uncomprehending, "We were on the ship to come get you and suddenly I'm here and he's dead." I shrugged tiredly. Slowly I sank to the ground. What the hell had just happened? I heard footsteps approaching.
"Rogue! Are you okay?" 'Ro asked me. Daddy kneeled next to me and hugged me. Mystique looked around. She spotted Magneto and looked at me shocked. She walked over to him, kneeled, turned him over, and checked for a pulse.
"He's been terrified dead," she murmured. She glanced at Fearoh.
"Fearoh! How'd you get here, and why the hell did you disappear so suddenly? " Mirage asked. The worse death, you shall die today, the words I uttered came back to me. Had me saying those words brought Fearoh here? I mean what's worse than dying from being petrified dead?
"I don't know. I remember we on the ship together and all of a sudden Magneto's collapses to my feet dead." On this day a thousand fold you shall pay.
"I-I think I killed him," I whispered so quietly that only Daddy heard.
"What?" I explained, "We'll talk to Mystique about it later." I nodded.
"Scott?" He frowned slightly.
"He's a fighter. Chastity healed him up. She says should have been up, but he doesn't seem to want to wake up. I'm sorry, baby." He whispered softly. I just closed my eyes. It was just too much for me. Slowly I sank into blissful oblivion.
"Rogue...Rogue?" I glanced around me. I was in this misty wasteland. Where the hell was I? Was I dead? The mist suddenly faded. I glanced around me. I was in some kind of tropical oasis. It was beautiful. I walked closer to the waterfall to get a better look at it. This must be heaven.
"Rogue?" I turned. It couldn't be. I must really be dead.
"Scott," I whispered so softly because I was afraid to ruin the serenity of the moment. I gasped. He wasn't wearing his glasses. I stared deeply into his blue eyes. They were just as I had imagined them. Shockingly blue with green around the iris. I felt like I was drowning in his eyes. They were gorgeous.
"Beautiful," he whispered awed. I blushed when I realized that he was talking about me. He walked stood next to me. He caressed my cheek. He eyes widened in wonder.
"We're touching." He whispered in awe. Tears poured out of my eyes. We were touching actually skin-to-skin contact. He tilted my head up towards him and kiss me passionately. His tongue pushed against my lips greedily. I opened without hesitation. His tongue slid into my mouth. I moaned in pleasure. I felt something in me well up. Something that could only be described as love. He pulled back from our kiss, and trailed kisses down my neck. I gasped. His hand explored the curves of my body. I wondered idly if he could hear my heart, I could. Or maybe it was all the blood rushing to my ears. My hands began to wander his body. Lord, he was perfect in every way. I pulled his head to eye level with me. I stared deep into his eyes.
" I love you, Scott Summers. Make love to me. Possess me." I demanded. And he did over and over and over again....
"Mommy!" I shot up out of my pleasant dream. I stared at my two year old daughter. I glanced to my left where Scott lay still sleeping, "I'm hungry." She smiled at me innocently.
"I was about to go get some breakfast. Why don't you come with me, Sasha?" Mirage asked from the doorway. I smiled thankfully at my sister. Sasha nodded eagerly, jumped off our bed, and out the door.
"Enjoy the dream?" Mirage asked mischievously. I smiled at her. Her mutation, the ability to create somewhat-real dream worlds, was a blessing to me and Scott.
"It went well." I stopped and thought quietly, "In the dream I had to relieve those four days before Magneto's attack." I paused again, "Thank you. I needed to remember how hard Scott and me fought for our love." She smiled and left.
I sighed content and laid back in our bed, "Hey, beautiful," Scott murmured. I smiled at him. My gloved hand traced his glasses, lovingly. He was so perfect and so mine.
"Sugah, do you believe in Fairy Tale endings?"
