Chapter Ten: Psyches To The Rescue
Tina had already taken two under her spell. The illusions weren't her best. She preferred the one where she made them think they were died, and then they did. But, she wouldn't have to wait soon. She planned to kill them all with their worst fears. As Alex had stated earlier she was not a telepath, but her ability to create illusions caused her to find out the person's inner desires and deepest fears. That's how she had known about Damia's family, and how she had known how to get John on her side.
Tina smiled at the team. "Who's next?"
Everyone got into a fighting position, and Tina just smiled. She knew they were no match for her.
Rogue glared at John and Tina; he hated John for falling under the woman's spell. And he hated Tina for causing Damia to recall those horrible memories that even Rogue had witnessed. "Listen bitch; no one messes with mah friends!" She yelled, and ran at Tina. Rogue only managed to get a foot in front of her when she saw the scene play before her. "Cody? No don't-" Rogue fell to her knees and began to cry. "Ah'm so sorry." She wailed.
Tina made a face of mock sympathy. "Poor Sheila, it must be hard knowin that if you get close you risk killin them."
Remy's eyes brightened with anger at what Tina had done to Rogue. He quickly searched himself for something to throw at the girl. A small smile crossed his face as he found his hotel key in his pant's pocket. He began to charge it with kenetic energy. He pulled it out, it was glowing a bright pink color. "Remy tinks de fille needs ta be taught a lesson, non?" He said as he threw the card at Tina.
The card hit the blond, and exploded causing a little bit of damage. She glared at the Cajun, and she threw him into an illusion along with the others. She smiled at John and walked past each person who head fell under her trance. The two went to his room, and they played wildly.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
The psyches that filled Rogue's head screamed loudly, and unknowingly slowly break the illusion. Rogue's mind was doing summersaults as the grass Cody was supposedly lying on turned to blue carpet.
[i]This isn't real [/i] a voice yelled inside her mind.
"What?" She looked around her for the source of the voice.
Slowly the southern terrain she saw swirled into that of a hotel lobby, and the reality crept into her mind. [i]Tina.[/i] she thought. Rogue stood up, and her eyes widened in horror at the sight. It seemed everyone was experiencing an illusion. Even though she couldn't see what they did she could tell what the illusion was, and they weren't nice ones. Alex and Scott where sitting as if in a plane that seemed to be falling from the sky. Kurt was in a corner, his face sheltered from view; he was yelling phrases in German at an invisible person or persons. Remy seemed like he was stealing something, and suddenly everything went wrong. Logan was lying on the floor, he looked dead, and he was bleeding all over his body. [i]Ah guess if ya believe what goin on then everthin else does. [/i]
She staggered past each of her teammates. She had to find the professor; she had no idea how to wake anyone out of this trance. With Siren it was just a matter of mixing the person's blood with the culprits. But this, she had no clue. [i] Maybe if Ah touch 'em.[/i] she pondered. She didn't know if it would work or not but it was worth a try. She managed her way to the professor. He was lying on his stomach, and he was uselessly trying to move like some sort of solider. His hands were positioned like he was ready to fire. She timidly pulled of her left glove, and placed her hand on his bald head. She waited for a minute, and saw him scream in agony. [i]Did it work? Please say it did.[/i] she prayed.
The older man's facial expressions went from stern to confusion. His head turned and his eyes seemed to be look at Rogue's. "Professah?" She asked.
"Rogue?" He looked around for a moment, as the course of events came back to him. He now knew what was going on. He gave her a weak smile, happy to be out of the illusion when he had first lost the use of his legs. "Thank you."
Rogue nodded. "Any time, now we have ta help 'em." She motioned to the others.
The professor thought for a moment trying to see if he could undo what Tina had done. He gave Rogue a concerned look. "My telepathy cannot seem to help them. It is up to you Rogue. Are you sure that you will be able to handle this?" He was referring to touching each member.
Rogue smiled weakly. "If that's the only way."
"I am afraid so." He replied.
Rogue helped the man back into his wheel chair. Then stated "Maybe ya can help the process quicken? Ah mean by makin the reality sink in faster."
The man nodded. "I will try."
Rogue took a deep breath and walked over to Jean. She decided that if she had Jean's telekinetic ability she could hold down the person so they wouldn't hurt her as she tried to help them. She found Jean among the others; the red haired mutant's hands were clutching her head, as if in pain. It reminded Rogue of the time the girl had lost control of her powers. Rogue guessed that was the illusion that was playing inside of Jean. One of the telekinetic's worst fear was loosing control, and that's exactly what Jean was seeing. Rogue was not at all hesitant on absorbing Jean, Rogue never was. The girl's memories where happy, and they included many nice scenes, including Scott's lovely torso. Don't get the wrong idea; Rogue was completely over the optic blasting mutant. She had Remy, who was more of a man than Scott could ever be. But, inside any girl is the enjoyment of seeing another man's body. And if that was the cost of absorbing Jean the Rogue would have to bit her lip and take it. She absorbed Jean, and after a ten second shriek the girl was back to normal. Rogue now heard each thought from each of the X-men. She had absorbed both the world's greatest telepath, and an amateur one. So you could guess the side effects.
"Scott." Jean said as she saw him. She could hear the screaming coming from both him and his brother. Jean ran over to her boyfriend, but Rogue stopped her.
"Ya can't help him. The only way ta help him is by absorbin him. So stand back and wait." Rogue told Jean firmly. It felt good to have the upper hand against 'Ms. Perfect.'
I'm not perfect Rogue.
What have Ah told ya bout reading mah mind? Rogue shot the girl a deadly glare.
Rogue walked over to Logan who was her next target. She concentrated on keeping him still with her newly absorb telekinetic ability. Before laying her bare hand on his bare arm Rogue told Jean. "Hold him steady." Jean nodded. Rogue grabbed Logan's arm, her skin doing its magic. When he began to move violently and extend his claws, Rogue let go and both she and Jean held him steady. Finally he calmed down; he looked at both the girls. His face looked very tired.
"Thanks kid." He said to Rogue. She could tell what he went though was tough. Rogue gave a weak smile and put a hand on his covered shoulder.
"Anytime." She replied.
"No offense Rogue but this is taking awhile, and if you can hear their thoughts like I can. Who knows how long they'll last." Jean stated. The thoughts of her teammates were utterly disturbing, and she wanted them not only out of her mind, but of theirs as well.
"Ah know Jean, but how can-" Rogue began but was cut off by Logan.
Logan looked around and noticed the youngest member of the team. "Get Jamie, and then become more than one." He growled lightly at the slow working minds of the two girls. Rogue and Jean both smiled, he was back to normal old grouchy guy again.
Rogue hiked over to Jamie on the other side of the room. The small boy stood with his back against the wall. His eyes were scanning the room, or what he saw. Rogue decided to cut off the mental images that were projected from him. She had had enough from her experience and Logan's, as well as Jean's. Rogue reached out to the boy, she could feel him struggle as her skin met his. His eyes met hers and a smile swept his face. Rogue nodded, as his mind told her thank you.
Rogue concentrated and eleven other Rogues, each of her copies as well as the original went to a team member. When each reached a copy Rogue gave the command and the contact was made. She was able to awaken everyone except Kitty, who kept phasing when Rogue tried to touch her. So as a solution all the copies surrounded the young ghost like mutant. They used their telekinesis to keep her from phasing through the floor, and one after the other the Rogues moved in for contact. After five minutes they were finally able to wake her up.
"Is that everyone?" Jean asked, counting the members.
Everyone scanned the hallway. It hit Damia first. "John." She gave a worried look to Rogue.
Can you find him? Damia asked her friend mentally.
I'll try. Rogue replied to her friend. Rogue gave Damia a reassuring smile. Damia nodded at Rogue; Damia knew her friend would be able to find out what was going on. After all if Rogue put her mind to it she could be the most powerful mutant in the world. [i] To bad Tina, you have no clue who you're up against. [/i] Damia thought.
