Love Lies Bleeding In Her Hands
It was over. The struggle between Magneto and his band of evil mutants was over. No more fighting
between the two sides . The X-Men had won, But had paid a large price to do so.
Charles Xavier, The X-Men's mentor and friend, Father figure and coach, Was dead.
Magneto and Xavier both perished at each other's hands in a firery explosion.
Rogue herself had nearly perished. Hell, So had most of the others. But somehow, They were still here,
alive and fairly well, For the most part. Rogue's struggle had been one of the hardest. While battling Blob,
part of a buliding had been dislodged somehow. She didn't know why, She didn't know who, She didn't care.
Her powers being as out of control as they had been, She had momentarily lost her powers; All of them. For
a brief momment, She was just like every other living human being. No strength, no power drain, Nothing.
She watched the building falling towards her, Her mind completely blank. No life flashbacks, No regrets,
Nothing. Just waiting.
---
At this moment, Remy felt the need to turn and look in the direction of where he knew his love had last
been fighting Blob. His red on black eyes grew wide with first shock and then fear as he watched the
horrific sight before him; And the sudden realization...There was nothing he could do..
* Memories are just where you laid them. Draggin' the waters 'till the deapths give up their dead.
What did you expect to find? Was it somthing you left behind?
Don't you rember, Anything I said when I said
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love beleedin' in my hands, In my hands again.
Love lies beleeding in my hands, In my hands, Love lies bleeding... *
It was later that eveing at the Xavier estate in upstate New York.
The mansion was un-usually quiet, A heavy mood that hung like a thick could in every room was hard
to ignore. Perhaps Scott took it the worst. He had been sitting on the comfortable couch in the lobby
for an awful long time. Never speaking, Never moving,Nothing. Jean had joined him now, And she sat curled up
next to him on the couch. Logan too was in the lobby, But he sat in a chair farther away from the rest, His
hands templed under his chin, Staring blankly at the wall.
---
Remy had long ago left the lobby, Unable to stand the mood anymore, And he thought of Rogue.
Luckily, By the grace of God, Which even Remy realized, Had let her get her powers back just seconds before
the building had hit. She had gotten back her usual abilities of super strength and flight, And had survived
the ordeal. But she had been acting unlike herself. Much unlike herself. It was like she was a different
person now..
---
Rogue had never felt this way before, Never.
She flew to the roof of the mansion, And walked along the slopped edges, Keeping her emerald eyes trained
on the black velvet night's sky before her. She kept walking, Mindlessly, A small smile on her lips as she
neared the edge..
* Oh Hold me now, I feel contagious.
Am I the only place that you've left to go? She cries her life is like
some movie in black and white; Dead actors faking lines, Over and over and over again, She cries:
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
Leave love bleeding in my hands, In my hands again.
Leave love bleedin' in my hands, in my hands, Leave love bleeding...*
Afetr a quick scan of the mansion, Remy had finally come to the conclusion that Rogue wasn't in the
mansion. He cursed under his breath a french oath, His worry for her grwoing with each passiong moment.
Going to the only place he knew he had yet to look, He made his way up to the roof, One of his and Rogue's
favorite places. He blinked as he saw how close to the edge her steps took her. He shook his head and took
a few steps towards her. " Chere, Whatcha doin', Eh? Come back. " And it was like she didn't even hear him.
Remy felt his breath catch in his throat when she stopped scant inches from the very edge, And turned,
A strange sparkle in her emerald eyes. Her voice was soft and lingered on the chilly night air around them.
" Ah was normal Remy. It didn't hurt no more. Ah didn't let it hurt. No more.."
She turned back to the edge, Ready to take another step. Remy knew he yelled after her, But it was like
a dream...
* I wanted
You turned away
You don't rember, But I do
You never even tried...
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
Love lies bleedin' in my hands.. *
Rogue felt tears sting her eyes as she stood on the edge. She had been ready for death that day.
And in being ready for death, She had cast off all her fears, All her pain, All the invisable chains
that had bound her through out her life. Like she had said, She hadn't let it hurt anymore.
For once in her life, In that instant she felt in control. In control of herself.
Having lived, She didn't want to go back.
With the memory of that feeling, Of love, Of hope, Of freedom, She could now see her life as
clearly as a winding dirt path ahead of her. She had taken down all the fences and walls she herself
had put there long ago. There were no more now. She would take it as it came.
Lifting her arms and outstreching her bare fingers, She embraced the night, For everything
that it was. Beauty, Mystery, Fear; All of it, As one. And she wasn't afraid.
She embraced her life. She smiled as the tears rolled down her cheeks and ropped off her chin.
" Ah'm free...."
* Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
Love lies bleeding in my hands, In my hands again
Leave love bleedin' in my hands, In my hands, Leave love bleeding....*
