Chapter 16, "All I Own"
The professor's head snapped up, startling Scott. "Professor Xavier? Sir? What's wrong?"
"Its Rogue." At his pupil's look of confusion, Xavier elaborated. "Her mind is in total chaos. I only caught a glimpse, but something is seriously wrong."
Scott was standing immeadiatly. "Then what are we waiting for? She needs us."
*Medlab*
"So what you're saying professor, is that you're going to risk your neck trying to figure out what's going in her mind?"
"Yes Psylocke, that's exactly what I'm saying. She doesn't trust you enough, and Jean isn't sure Rogue would accept her pressence either."
"I still don' see why de hell you're messin' wit chere's mind in de first place. She strong, I know mon amour."
"True as that is my Cajun friend, our Mississippi Marauder may not be strong enough to beat whatever the current mental threat is. You must remember how, for lack of better terms, crazy, she went after absorbing the professor's half-brother (A/N: Juggernaut)."
"I know dat Beasty boy, but chere's gotta make it." Remy's voice turned soft, as his eyes were cast downward. "She jus' gotta."
Storm put a consoling arm around Remy as she turned her gaze to the proffesor. "Do what you can to help the child. None of us want you or her harmed, but if this is the only way, then perhaps it is worth a try."
*Rogue's mind*
"Sinistah...what th' hell...Ah had ya locked up in heah. How th' hell did ya get out?" Surprise laced Rogue's mental voice, but her 'eyes' blazed with green fire.
"You let me loose."
"Ah'd nevah..." Rogue paused. If she was being trapped in her mind for so long, they'd have her in the medlab. That meant...
"Oh shoot...They put a damn supression collah on me!"
Sinister laughed, his red eyes glittering dangerously. "No wonder they call you a river rat. You're just as dumb as one."
"What th' hell do ya mean bah that?"
"The collar Rogue. The only collar they have is the one the outside me tampered with. Remember?"
Rogue's mental form slumped to the ground. "No...This cain't be happenin...It just cain't..."
"Oh but it is, it is..."
