DISCLAIMER: Ok these characters are not mine, they belong to Marvel and I make no money of this story. This is just for entertainment.
Author's Note: Don't forget to review the story. I know I upload the chapters very late but what can I do. Enjoy! Important: In this AU, when Miss Marvel's powers were taken by Rogue, she was with some other mutant groups instead of the x-men. The x-men do know that somebody did this to Miss Marvel but they don't know that Rogue was the one who did it. Got it?

Chapter 4: Strange Awakenings
She blinked her eyes open. As she tried to get up, she felt sharp pain in her leg as if somebody had shot thousand needles in it. When her eyes got hold of her vision. She realized that she was in some sort of short mechanical compact room. She moved her leg once again and tried to stand up but the pain hit her again and she fell down on the bed. "AWO!"
"Easy there, you might hurt yourself." She looked up to see a beautiful red head standing at the entrance of the cell.
"Who are ya? An' where am Ah an' who brought meh here?!"
"O.k ok, just calm down and I'll tell you everything… "Calm down?! Yer tellin' meh t' calm down aftuh what happen' t' meh Gawd knows wha' night an' then Ah open mah eyes ta see tha' ah'm at a place which ah know nothin' of?!" She cut her off by yelling and bringing up her years of frustration she had spent in the prison with her newly powers navigated.
"Look you don't understand, we're here to help you, not only you but also other mutants who have been treated as badly as you so that they can learn to control their powers. This is the Xavier Institute for Higher learning. And you are brought here by one of our mutants. You're a mutant, you know that, right?"
Rogue nodded with unshed tears in her eyes.
"I'm Jean Grey, one of the mutants of Professor's Institute. We have other mutants here also, about eight or more. And we are team. You must have heard about the x-men. Together we fight against the crimes that other mutants commit due to the numerous fights they have with the Friends of Humanity. So you are going to live here with us and Professor will teach you to control your powers, don't worry we'll help you as much as we can. Ok…what else…"
She started thinking by quickly pressing her index finger to her lips. "Oh yeah, Professor is going to have a talk with you later, about what happened earlier and if you would like to stay here or not, nothing much. Ummm, you wouldn't mind if I ask your name, would you?"
"Ah'm Rogue." The throbbing Rogue pain in various parts of her beaten body made it difficult for her to focus on everything that Jean was saying and absorb it.
"Rogue?" Asked Jean unfamiliar with the strange name.
"Yeah, tha' it is, Rogue." She heard somebody calling Jean from outside the cell.
"I think I should go now…"
Rogue then suddenly lay back down and curled onto the bed crying softly as the constant tragedies kept on occurring in her life.

"Nooooooo! " Two strong but gentle arms grabbed her and she shivered terribly until she got stable and her beautiful green eyes met with the same person she had seen that night when she escaped. She was shaking and her own hands were around either side of her tightly rapped. He was sitting on the bed, on which she now sat upright. Her long hair was in place but her forehead was covered with a mixture of auburn and unusually white irritating long strands of hair, which she shakily pushed away and tucked behind her ear. The trembling sensation from the flashback in her nightmare still remained slightly as she jerked her shoulders away from him.
"Had a nightmare?" Gambit asked politely. She had been sleeping for over two days and hadn't wakened up even when Hank attempted his painful treatments on her bitten-leg, cracked wrist and different bruises.
"YOU?!" Instead of replying him in a better way, rudeness was the option she chose to apply to everyone she met, not everyone, maybe he and the other guy were the only people she had met or talked to after a long time. Five years in prison taught nothing but harsh words which didn't leave anything in her mind except taking revenge from everyone as if everybody was responsible for her troubles. May be this was nothing if compared to the things she had been through.
"Yeah chere, Remy." He said with a grin, her staring at him right into his eyes into his eyes, or shades he was wearing to hide those demon like red on black eyes was…strange.
"Wha' are ya doin' here? Ah mean aren't you the one who punched meh in the face and tried t' chase meh an' caused all the freakin' trouble?"
"Look chere, dat was an accident..i did'n know if you were a girl or a guy when you were runni'n around wit *MY* trench coat in de dark.."
She shyly looked down."Ah did tha' 'cuz ah needed t' cover the colluh an..so.." She hesitated for a while when words didn't come out of her mouth.
"I's okay." He said as he lifted her chin with his middle and forefinger. He looked over to her badly injured leg which was rapped in bandages and straps. "How ya doin?"
Her politeness stayed over only two seconds and then replaced by the same spunk. "Nevuh been bettuh. Wha' do ya wan'?" He smiled instead.
"Ya know what, you look lakh a Colgate tooth paste advertisement sittin' here smilin' at meh ovuh nothin'…"
Damn it! No woman ever talk to Remy like dat…"Nothin' I t'ought if ya wan'ed anythin'."
She than rapped her long limbs which were covered with bandages in most places, tightly around her jeans clad elegant legs with tears in her huge, beautiful, emerald green eyes. When he tried to comfort her by bringing his hand up to her shoulder, she quickly stepped back on the bed away.
"I'm Remy, Remy le beau." He extended out his hand to shake hers. Slowly and softly she met his hand with hers, Instead of shaking it, he brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly. Rogue blushed but abruptly snatched it away from him. It had been such a long time since somebody had touched her like that, the last time she had some sort of gentle, physical touch was the one with Cody which was the beginning of her real life.
"Ah'm uh…Rogue."
"Rogue? Never heard of a name like dat. Where ya from? Kentucky? Alabama?"
"Ah'm from Caldotte, Mississippi, Cajun…" She added after wards as some of the memories of neigbourhood and people still remained with her.
"Ahem, I think our southern belle has already met our Cajun friend here." When she caught sight of the hairy blue huge animal which looked like a furry teddy bear to her she screamed at the highest pitch of her voice she could reach, and trembling she crawled to the further corner of the bed. "AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Remy tried not to smile but it was on use.
"Umm, chere it's ok. I's jus' Hank. He won' h'rt ya. Really he's jus' a big cuddly monkey we picked up from de zoo."
Hank looked at Remy un-amused, and adjusted his thick black framed glasses. "Ahem, as a matter of fact Remy, a bear would have suited better for me. So how is our patient or I should say, our new mutant doing?" He looked at her.
Remy looked at him wounded. But before he could say anything, Jean came in.
"Will you two stop it. Can't you see she's scared?" Jean scolded them, then she looked at Rogue, "It's okay dear, Hank is harmless. He's one of the mutants I told you about earlier today. Why don't you have some rest and I'll come after a little while to check on you. You're okay…right?"
"S' ah guess ah have t' stay here in prison for anothuh fahve yeahs…*sigh*…" Rogue snapped.
"….Uh….Rogue, sweety you don't understand…uh, I'll talk to you later. Remy, why don't you come with me, because you know, this is a restricted area and you know you're not allowed here on unusual hours, C'mon. And Hank, would you please come to the lab so that we can talk." Remy threw a glance at Rogue who's innocent face was red and wet with tears. His heart melted, he couldn't help but leave with Jean and Hank.
To be continued…
