Remembering part 3 (Rouge)

This is my interactive fanfic for X-men- Evolution. I don't own any of the x-men and I never will have the money to own them.

Sleek fell to her knees holding her bleeding stomach. Unknown takes a few steps in front of her and raises his blades up. Sleeks eyes go wide as Unknown brings his blades down.

Inside the Cyber room Logan and Fayre were the only ones who could watch the screen. Rouge and Maria had to look away. Fayre flinched at what Unknown just did to Tiresias. "I never knew the kid was capable of this." Logan said. "Drawn could do anything when he is calm like that, but he gets that way when his emotions get so high." Fayre said trying to figure it all out. "And it started when he saw Max?"

"What's the matter Rouge?" Maria asked. "I'm worried, okay." Rouge said. "Why, we have seen Drawn like this before. Not this bad, yes, but close."

"Because"

"What?" Fayre asked "Because" Rouge took a breath "The last time I saw that look in Drawn's eyes he... He tried to killed him self." Maria gasped, Fayre just looked at Rouge, and Logan gave Rouge a glance. "Excuse me? When?" Fayre said slightly surprised that she didn't know about this. "Well, I guess me and Drawn were friends for a few years. Like clockwork he would show up at the end of the first full week every other month..."

(Flashback)

Rouge was taking a night stroll in the park. 'Where is he? Drawn comes every time to visit me here.' Rouge thought. Rouge walked around a little more and then heard some thing. "No one else will die thanks to me." it was Drawn. Rouge looked towards a bench. "I'll be the last one." Rouge walked over to Drawn. Rouge was shocked to see Drawn's left arm bloody with a deep cut in it and holding a blood-covered stiletto knife in his right hand.

"OH, GOD DRAWN!" Rouge yelled. Drawn didn't say any thing, he just looked at Rouge. Rouge rips off one of her sleeves and tied it around Drawn's bleeding arm. "You're going to be all right Drawn." Rouge said more for her self then Drawn. Drawn still said nothing. Rouge helped Drawn up as she asked, "Can ya fly?" Drawn nods his head yes.

"Will he be okay?" Rouge asked the doctor. "Yes, we were able to stop the bleeding and got him stitched up." The doctor said. Drawn gets up and heads for the door. Drawn starts to feel lightheaded. Rouge help support his weight. "He really should stay the night." The doctor said. "No" Rouge said knowing Drawn's secret would be found out if he stayed.

"What were ya thinking doing that? I was so scared. I thought ya were going to DIE." Rouge went on. Drawn walks up to Rouge and then gives her a hug. "I'm sorry. I forgot that I got people like you in my life." Drawn said as he let go of Rouge. "Why did you do it?"

"I didn't think the world could use me."

"What would make ya think that?"

"Not important."

"Yes it is!"

"Then drop it."

Later that week. "So are you going to do anything tonight?" Irene asked Rouge. "I don't know." Rouge said as she walked up to her room. Irene walks in to the kitchen. In Rouge's room Rouge goes to her bed and sits down. She hears a tap on the window. Rouge walks over and opens the window. Drawn shows his head in the window. "What's up?" Drawn asks "You right now." Rouge said. "I thought you were going to a party?"

"How did ya know about that?"

"I have my ways."

"I don't think I should."

"Of course you should. You saved my life, you deserve some fun."

"But"

"But nothing, except your cute one going to that party."

"Will you be all right?"

"Hell yeah, I got a job to take care of."

"What about your arm?"

"It will heal. Now get ready for that party and wear these." Drawn tosses Rouge a pair of new black leather gloves. "Thank you Drawn." Rouge said as she gave him a quick hug. Then Rouge and Drawn said together "See you when I see ya." And Drawn was off with his skin turning black.

(End flashback)

"And let me guess that party you went to was when you discovered your power." Logan said "No this party was the reason I went to that one." Rouge said.

Drawn gets out of the system and grabs his towel. Drawn looks at the rest of them and just walks out of the Cyber room. Logan sets up a program and steps in to one of the systems chamber. "Okay, Rouge and me will check with Danny to see if she's remember any thing to help us." Fayre started "Mary you are probably the only one that can get close to Drawn with out him trying to rip your guts out. So try to talk to him."

Fayre and Rouge walk in to the elevator. "Do you think Drawn is going to fine?" Rouge asked. "Yeah, he'll get over it." Fayre said, but finished with the thought 'I hope.'

Maria walks in to the locker room. "Drawn?" Maria said in to the locker room. Maria hears Drawn's sigh "What!" came Drawn's voice from one of the changing areas. "You want to talk about it?"

"No"

"Will you please tell me what is bothering you."

"You really want to know?"

"Yes, please."

Another sigh "Ok, meet me tonight. I got to calm down first and I want a good shower."

"You promise?"

"I make no guaranty you are going to like what I tell you."

"Just promise you will tell me tonight what is bothering you."

Again with a sigh "I promise."

"All of it."

"Rrrrrr, FINE, I promise to tell you tonight what the hell is bothering ME. Till then let me calm down."
