God i'm so happy that people are actually enjoying this! Shock! Well as promised here is the next chapter (or 1st not quite sure if the other one was like a prologue or something cause it seemed a bit short to be a chapter, but it was also like a taster chapter! This is very confusing!) Well let's just say this is the next part of the story for arguments sake.

Disclaimer (do I really have to do this for each chapter or can I say this and kinda ditto it each time - never mind) No I don't own any of them *sigh* but one of these days ill make my own character (actually I already have but that's got nothing to do with this story so maybe ill write another one - who knows) ah well enjoy!

Oh I forgot to mention;

Rogue pulled her knees closer to her chest shivering from both coldness and fear, but she'd never let Trask know that. Of course it wasn't just Trask she had to worry about, there was his new business associate brought in especially for her because she was special. At least that's what they kept telling her. Why did she have to be a hero? Why didn't she listen to Evan or Logan and just shut up? Then she wouldn't be in this mess. For all she knew they were still experimenting on them both so what she did made no difference what so ever, except the fact that she was now their main play thing and were fascinated by her. A silent tear slid down her cheek yet she refused to fully cry out, she would not give Trask and his men the satisfaction of seeing her suffer. Her train of thought was interrupted as the door to her tiny cell was unlocked, she wiped away the tear and put a stern face trying to bury all emotion, she found that if she hid all emotion then it was less likely she would break down in front of them. Another click and the door swung open. ~stop shiverin'! Don't let em see their gettin' to ya!~ A dark silhouette of someone walked into the blinding light that came from the corridor. She buried her head in her knees. ~Stop shiverin' damn it! Yo' ain't lettin' 'em use yo' to hurt others no more!~ She heard them walk towards her slowly and kneel down in front of her.

"Stripe's that you?"

~This has be a trick! He ain't comin' for me none of em are, dont let em get to you!~ She refused to move,

"Rogue please its me Logan"

She knew it wasn't him, he never called her Rogue!

"If you weren't so stubborn and kept your mouth shut this wouldn't have happened! This is all my fault and I hate to see you like this, please Stripes!"

Her breathing quicken as she began to panic, maybe she was wrong maybe it was him. Lifting her head she tried make out his face, the bright light made it hard, but she could still see it was Logan She could make out his worrying face hoping to get through to her. Her heart skipped a beat she didn't know how to react, she was so used to hiding any form of her emotion for what seemed like forever but now she couldn't control it, hearing Logan's voice, seeing his face caused her to break down and burst into tears.

"Sorry, suppose I shudda listened huh!"

Her voice was no louder then a whisper, and her cheeks were covered in tears that kept on flowing. He leaned in and hugged her, which was shocking because he was the one of last people that would hug her, but in this case she loved that he had. He picked her up and began to walk around the endless corridors, it made her feel so dizzy and was desperately trying not to fall into unconsciousness mainly for the fear that if she did then she might find it all to be a dream.

"please don't let this be a dream"

Her voice was as fainter then before but it was all she could do at the time, though it took up the last of her energy and she finally let herself fall into the darkness that she was trying so hard to hide from.
Kurt walked into the small med lab, it was much smaller then the one in the mansion but they couldn't go back yet because it was still in the process of being rebuilt. He walked into find Logan asleep on a chair next to Rogue who still lay asleep as she had been for the last week.

"You want somethin' elf or you just there to stare?"

It took him by surprise to hear Logan's gruff voice break the silence.

"Just vanted to see if she vas awake yet"

"Don't worry elf I'll call ya when she does, is that all?"

"Vell I vanted to take over sittin vith her, youve been here for nearly a veek only leavin to get cleaned up or eat, I tink you need a break mien freud"

He could see that he wanted to be there when she woke up, but in the circumstances he was making himself go crazy in the process. Kurt could tell he was still touchy about the subject and only he and the professor knew the state she was in when he found her, all Kurt could find out is that she was being kept in a tiny cell the size of a closet with nothing in it but the cold dark concrete floor and walls that made up the room. It hurt him so much just to hear that she was being kept in a room like that, but to find her in who knows what state as well would have been heart breaking, it was no wonder that he refused to leave her side. He knew that he wouldn't move so he went for the next option of sitting with him.
She opened her eyes slightly, all around her was white but not the same kind of white that she saw in the experiment rooms, this was warm and welcoming, and most of all safe. She was lying in a bed that felt wonderful and soft against her, after spending who knows how long in a cold, damp, concrete cell any bed would feel like heaven, heck if she was lying on a sofa or carpeted floor she'd be happy. She heard a low growling sound next to her and turned to find Logan asleep on a chair next to her, she laid there just watching him sleep, he seemed so peaceful and yet he still had the tough exterior to him, it was as if he was never captured. He looked so peaceful and yet haunted, he made her feel safe.

"Have I got somethin' on my face or is somethin' up?"

"No it's nothin'..... just cant believe ah'm here, feels liake if ah look away or close mah eyes then this'll all melt away an' ah'll be back in mah tiny concrete cell tryin not to die from the cold"

She sighed and looked away, she knew how stupid she sounded and she had no idea why she was telling him.

Logan didn't know how to respond, he knew how she felt because he felt the same, he was scared that if he left her then she would disappear again, she was the one student that he felt closest to and to see her in the cell like he'd found her broke his heart. Who knew what Trask had done to her but he knew he had to pay.

"So errr..logan how'd ya'll escape anyways?"

"Long story! Lets just say that one Mags' people helped us out"

He was going to carry on but was interrupted by a *bumft* as Kurt landed next to him carrying food for the two of them, of course he dropped it immediately when he saw Rogue smiling at him.

"Rogue your avake! Typical that the minute I leave ze room you wake up! But im so glad your ok, weve all been so vorried! Mien gosh I have to tell everyone zeyre all going to be so happy!"

"Don't worry elf go tell get Kitty i'll get everyone else"

"Oh yah cause she's been so vorryed, definatly not ze same Keety vithout you, you no? Shes been so droopy zen again we all hav..." (carries on rambling, but seems too much effort to type it so use your imagination!lol!sorry!)

Rogue had to giggle when ever Kurt got excited he'd ramble on and he would talk faster and faster until someone stopped him, normally that would be her but in this case she happy just listening to him ramble on. As he finished he quickly teleported out the room only appear a few seconds later with a thrilled Kitty hanging onto his shirt collar, it looked like she only just got hold of him as he was teleporting back again.

"Rogue! I'm like so happy your awake, its been so like quiet without you! Everyone's coming down now to say hi but the prof says that we have like 3 minuets cause we have to like go to school, which totally sucks cause I wanna stay here and talk to you! I'm so happy your like back! Oh my gosh we have to tell Remy he's so gonna flip when he hears your awake!"

Rogue up to this point was just smiling and nodding just happy to hear her roommates' voice, but when she mentioned Remy, who she had no idea who he was, she had to stop her rambling.

"Kitty....kitty"

But she didn't hear her and kept on rambling on and on, about school and the principal etc etc.

"Kitty! Will ya' take a breath for just a second!"

This definatly got the affect that she wanted which was a shocked silence from her, smiling apologetically she shut up.

"Thanks darlin' sorry for yellin' but ah've kinda got a headache. And whos Remy?"

"Why chere dat be me!"

****
