X-MEN ~ Next Dimension
Chapter Two: Monsters
I was hanging upside down from the overpass Waiting to discover something about the world I couldn't get with the programme and I couldn't listen to them It was like trying to think in reverse
New New York, Saturday 28th March 2307
Nocturnal House
6.05 am
Rogue shifted uncomfortably on her army boot camp style bed and scrunched her face up in frustration, her constant living on the streets and old training sessions stopped her from sleeping in late. With a grunt of anger the female mutant pushed herself out of bed and onto the cold cement floor of the sleeping quarters of her new home, she had to sleep in the same room with at least ten other mutants, all male. The only good thing about the whole set up was that Kurt and that Remy guy were close to her, so the others wouldn't try something with her, not that they could anyway, it just so happens that the sleeping quarters didn't negate their mutant abilities and so, here they couldn't touch her either 'thank mah lucky stars foah that.'
Rogue stretched herself and pulled on her gloves and boots before creeping over to where Remy and Kurt were sleeping and kicked out at Remy behind her while she nudged Kurt in front of her softly. Remy woke up with a start, his hands automatically reaching for his cards that had long ago been used up, while Kurt yawned and tried to push Rogue away from him
"five more minutes Logan, just five" Rogue snorted at being called Logan, but couldn't stop the sag of her shoulders, he wouldn't be coming back, that she knew
~X~FLASH BACK~X~
Logan and Rogue huddled there under the overpass of the highway, it was only them left now, all the younger students had either been killed or captured, and Logan was still haunted by the way in which Ororo Munroe had died, how she had just stood there, cornered, how she had shaken her head at Logan and Rogue to stay back, to stay hidden and with a flash of metal she had slit her own throat, eyes locked with Logan, a small smile of triumph. she had always said they wouldn't take her alive, and they wouldn't. Logan growled, and pushed Rogue back behind him
"stripes, you get away, they wont get you as long as I keep them busy, you're their last hope now, so stay alive." Rogue shook her head and pulled Logan back
"no, they don't even know that were here yet, just stay here Logan, they wont know!" Logan had stared into her eyes then and growled
"they always find us stripes, and there isn't anything we can do about it then run and hide"- and this he had held his hand up to stop Rogue from butting in "- and this time we cant run and hide, you stay here, and when their attention is on me you get out." Rogue shook her head, not even bothering to stop her tears from falling.
"Ah wont let ya Logan, Ah wont" she had hissed and was about to take her gloves off when Logan knocked her upside the head, disorientating her enough for him to get out of their hiding place and run past the sentinels and the human men.
And I don't want to slide into apathy And I don't want to die in captivity But these monsters follow me around Hunting me down, trying to wipe me out
Rogue sat up slowly, watching her mentor, her teacher, the man that she classed as her father slice at his opponents, and it was like the entire scene slowed down, it started to rain, the fat drops hiding her tears, she could see the metal of Logan's claws slice through skin and bone, see the blood that ran from the wounds, she watched as Logan kicked out, using all of his training and street knowledge to fight tooth and nail to get all of the men to come at him, to give her time to escape. Rogue couldn't breathe, she couldn't even move as he stopped for a moment and bared his teeth in her direction, he was warning her to get out, and that warning cost him his life.
Rogue got out of her hiding place in a daze, as she watched the humans jump on him and beat at him, the sentinels were still firing, not caring that they were hitting humans as well as the mutant, and Rogue watched as the great wolverine fell, watched him close his eyes as he knew death was coming, and he died the way all fighters wish to die, he died protecting her, and didn't give up until his last breathe left his body. Rogue had run then, the sight of his blood being mixed with his opponents and the torrent of rain had been too much for her, they could have fought together, but then both of them would have died, and that was the way Logan was. The tears and rain blinded Rogue, but she continued to run, she was headed for New New York, the only place that she could hide better, and the place she and Logan had been headed for before they had been forced to hide from the FOH (Friends of Humanity).
Wipe me out
~X~ END OF FLASH BACK ~X~
Rogue shook her head and slapped her brother across the face lightly, Remy was already awake and pulling on his shirt and pants, while tying on his boots. They had figured that when Rogue woke up that was when they would start the first stage of their plan, help Rogue to reign in her mutant ability. Kurt grumbled in German as he fell out of bed and pulled on his shoes and jumper.
"right, lets git this started." They all went to the bathroom and locked the doors, this was the only place in the entire habitat that wasn't watched, as this was a place of privacy.
"wha'do y' wan' ust' do che're?" Rogue growled at the name but sat down on the tiled floor.
"Just try an' hold back yoah powers an' mind while ah try an' block mine" both boys looked nervously at each other, they knew that Rogue' powers could have devastating effects on the body and mind, but they knew it had to be done. "ah figured out why it's taken meh so long ta learn how ta block my mutant abilities, its 'cause look at ya'll ya had ta learn, meh, well all ah had ta do was covah up, it wasn't a necessity foah meh."
"al'ight 'nough talk, lets get dis done before de ot'ers wake up"
"ok, ok, hold ya horses swamp rat" Remy raised his brow at that
"swamp rat?" Rogue just smirked and flexed her now un-gloved hands.
"oh please, your flirting now Rogue?" Rogue glared at her brother and slapped his arm.
"both of ya be quiet, ah have ta concentrate." Rogue closed her eyes and fell back into herself, trying to locate her powers, 'ah wont be able ta find them unless I'm touchin' someone' sighing in frustration Rogue's hand flashed out and grabbed someone's hand, and by the feel of it, it wasn't Kurt's. She felt the pull and found the void that looked a lot like a black hole or power. Smirking she quickly started to fling up a barrier, the solid metal was taking a long time to put up and she could feel that Remy's grip on his psyche and powers was fading with each second that passed, she could get this done, she just needed to stay in contact with him. Rogue's and Remy's breathing was laboured as both were trying to keep their powers at bay.
I was hiding away under water Waiting for distance and buying some time Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger So I could excuse myself from humankind
Rogue was almost finished, she could feel it, her grip on Remy tightened as she felt it slip slightly because they were both sweating. The metal wall just needed to do the last block and then she could stop her mutant abilities when a loud banging sounded on the bathroom door and broke Rogue's concentration and made her grip on Remy slip and disappear, as well as their hard work and trying to control her powers, and with the connection broken her metal wall fell away and the void of power disappeared.
Rogue's eyes snapped open in fury, and she stiffly got up and wrenched the door open
"WHAT?" she yelled, oh she so wanted to kill something, she had been so damned close to being able to control her powers and now this boy had ruined it all
"damn it girlie I need to pee," and he tried to push Rogue out of the way when Remy and Kurt came up behind Rogue, the boy that needed to pee looked at Remy and Rogue's sweaty faces, and took in their hard breathing and he reddened, "you do realise that this isn't the place to get it up dontcha, I mean come on, it's a bathroom for goodness sakes, get your hormones in check and get out of my way before I piss all over you" Rogue growled and she glared, but didn't move from her spot.
"don't presume anything child, you just interrupted something very important, so piss your pants for all I care" and Rogue was about to turn around and close the bathroom door when the 'child' grabbed her arm and pulled her up close to him and gave her a feral smile,
"If I have to piss my pants, then why don't I do it on you eh? Might as well kill two birds with one stone and mark my territory" Rogue rolled her eyes and kicked out at the boy, however he blocked it with his knee, his eyes never leaving Rogues.
Remy, having enough of this display from K9 pulled Rogue from his grip and kicked the boy inn the stomach sending him backwards.
"non, y' don' wanna do dat homme, she be mon fille and his." K9 shrugged and pushed past all three and slammed the bathroom door. Rogue snarled at the door and pulled herself out of Remy's grip and went over to her bed and sat there, eyes closed. Hell she was trying really hard to reign in her anger, but it was just so hard 'ah was so close, ah could feel it, ah know ah was close.'
Kurt and Remy sat down on opposite sides of Rogue, both not talking, and after a while Remy lay down on Rogue's bed and drifted off to sleep, trying to keep his memories and powers back from Rogues had taken a lot out of him, and soon to follow Remy's lead was Rogue who, unconsciously lay her head on Remy's stomach and her feet on Kurt's lap. Kurt watched his sister and ex-enemy sleep and he sighed, 'as soon as ve get this done then ve can learn about Rogue's plan.'
'Cause I don't want to be a container or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer but these monsters spin me around get me down, just try and shut me out
Kurt rested his head on the wall behind him and felt the familiar buzz of the x-gene dampeners, they had to get out of this place, he knew what was going to come next, some of the mutants had already killed themselves in captivity, and so the numbers were decreasing, 'they vill start breeding programmes next.' Kurt shuddered at the thought and looked over at Remy and Rogue 'and they vill start with the vnes that are closest to eachozzer.'
Shut me out

Ruben's Inn, Old Mexico State, Saturday 28th March 2307
8.45 pm
Raven sighed and pulled a hand through her hair, she had to get her kids out of that place, and that was why the Blair Institute was their first target, because of her influence and the mutants that followed her, she was able to persuade the others into going after that institute first.
"Mystique, they are ready" Raven looked up at the young man that stood before her and nodded her head, the boy was tall, usually quiet and very strong
"thankyou Colossus, tell them I'll be there in an hour, then we will start the trek to New New York" peter bowed slightly and walked out of the inn into the cold night. Peter smiled and pulled his coat closer to his body, these types of nights reminded him of his home in Russia. Sighing the tall boy thought about the people they were going to rescue, Mystique had given him almost all of the reports on the mutants that were at the institute. There was a lot more information on the mutants that had been involved in the organization called the X-men and the Brotherhood of mutants.
Hold it in your head Believe and make believe and make believe
Peter knew that he and his trained mutant forces would be able to get inside the institute without being detected, once inside and acting like tourists, they would be able to get the mutants free. Even at the young age of Eighteen Peter had the strength and the training, his parents had placed him into the army militia in Russia, and he had been taught all sorts of fighting techniques, mostly from the Asian countries, but this knowledge had given him the position of second in command in Mystiques forces and he had been the one to train all of the mutants that were under his command personally. All were ready for this mission and they would not fail.

Rage Mutant Arena, Indiana, Saturday 28th March 2307
9.10 pm
Xavier sighed in relief, his night was over, the fighting was a constant place for entertainment for the humans, and the only way he survived was to kill the mutants he was put up against, there had been one time where he had almost been beaten, by another psychic, but he had prevailed. The only problem though was that he and Eric were getting too good and he knew that sooner or later they would be put up against each other. Both however had made a pact, that if they were ever to go up against each other then they would refuse to fight, and when the humans came down they would kill them. It was horrible Xavier knew it, but he needed to escape this prison, he needed to go and save his students, or what was left of them.
Xavier watched as they humans threw Eric back into his cell, the old time friends glanced at each other but said nothing, they didn't know who was listening and so plans could only be made if they were both out of their cells so Xavier could contact Eric through his mind. 'we will get out of this, and we will go and save out kind, and make the humans pay for what they have done to us, no longer do I feel that the humans deserve to live with us in peace, they have shown that that privilege is too far above them.'
I was hiding away under water Waiting for distance, waiting for time And I don't want to slide into apathy and I don't
....and I don't want to live in captivity.....
~X~
Sujakata: I apologise again for any spelling mistakes and any grammar mistakes. So??? I know that was OOC for Xavier but well, being locked up and having to kill your own kind to survive will do that to a person. Hmm, it took me a long time to do that, I'm so slow.
