~ Thoughts~
_ Telepathic conversation _
"Speaking"
Don't forget the real X-men are still in New York and the real Brotherhood members are out cold and Nathan and the others as well. So when I say something like ' Kurt blah blah blah ' it's not the real one okay? All right now that that is over with on with the story. Oh yeah and I'm terrible at accents. Think this will be the last chapter
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rogue 1 looked around. ~ This is ridiculous everyone in mah head in all mah heads or whatever is out and about. There are little gremlin lookin' creatures ready 't' kill us all. Ah do live an exciting life and ah think ah like this livin' dangerous Logan would be so proud, not ~ she thought to herself.
"Ready 't' die?" Sinister asked.
"Dude zat is such a veak line," Kurt said.
Then it all started the gremlins looking things flew into the air. That wasn't a surprise but what was a surprise was the fact that there were over one hundred and fifty people on the Rogue's side but they were seriously outnumbered and they kept coming from nowhere.
"Split up," one of the Wolverine's said.
Everybody went in all directions and so did their enemy's. They were everywhere the mall, park, lake, and different neighborhoods, in air and on land. It was a good thing the people were out but they wouldn't be for long and no doubt the fight would last long.
Rogue 1 had her back to Rogue 2 and 3. They were all back-to-back. All they could do was use the fighting skills they learned because they could no longer call on any power they wanted and even if they could it would be impossible to do so because their Psyches were out of their heads anyway. They were on land and their enemy was in air and on land.
"Readyyyyy and GO!" they said at the same time and began to swing at their opponents.
They dodged and some took the hit but they felt harder than they should. They knew the odds were most defiantly against them. Rogue 1 grabbed a rock and hit one of the creatures upside the head with it. Her hand went straight through.
"They can phase," Rogue 1 said.
Rogue 3 wanted to run but she couldn't. She threw a punch and it went through she threw then so fast that the creature she was hitting or trying to hit eventually had to let her hit it because it couldn't hold it's breath any longer. She hit it and it went flying. She smiled but her victory was short when two more came from behind and grabbed her under the arms they flew into the air and dropped her. She luckily landed in water but the impact hurt like hell. Rogue 2 wasn't doing any better she had to face four of them and one was flying the other was ghosting through things coming her way another was causing the ground to shake and another was running with Pietro's speed.
"Fuck they can run Pietro and cause earth tremors like Avalanche!" she half shouted.
She couldn't see the other Rogue's anywhere. She tried to run but the fast one caught her and punched her in the gut. She couldn't go flying like you're supposed to because it was still running then suddenly it stopped then she went flying. She screamed and before she could hit anything the flyer hit her from above and she went down. The Avalanche one had been causing them while the others were busy and the earth began to split (No not the entire earth just where their at). She fell in between the parted earth and was still screaming until she fell on a float surface. She hit the ground hard and her head hit something hard. Her head was bleeding she could tasted the bitter taste in her mouth. She looked up and saw a purple sky that then went back to being blue. She looked down and saw nothing but blackness. She couldn't call for help because one of those creatures might come after her. She saw one of the creature fall into the earth just as she did but it was dead or it was sleeping but as long as it didn't bother her she was just fine. She was still looking down when she felt herself being lifted off the ground.
"Shhhh it's okay were on your side were here to help. Have you Rogue?" it was a female voice.
Rogue 2 was gently put on the ground and she turned around. "Which one?" she asked.
"What do you mean which one?" she said back.
Rogue finally got a good look at her she was gold metal. "Ah mean there are two more other rogue's besides meh," Rogue 2 said.
"Okay hop on," the other female said.
She hoped on her back and watched as she grew wings and they flew into the air. Rogue 2 then noticed she was for from where she had started.
~*~
Rogue 1 was bleeding. She had glass allover the place her arms and legs and was actually laying in it. She was in a jewelry store being choked by one of those creatures. If only she could touch it but she couldn't reach. She was losing strength from struggling so much. She had burns from laser beams and her leg was held in solid ice. Just when she felt she was going to faint the grip loosened and she heard a woman speak.
"Die," she said and Rogue felt it's body go limp on her.
She looked up and saw a black woman. She was bald and had no pupils and her skin looked like it does when you look at an ocean floor seeing those drifting colors. She grabbed Rogue's arm and lifted her up.
"WATCH OUT!" Rogue 1 screamed as she saw another bust through the ceiling.
It flew to them and the girl did nothing but hold her hand out and the creature stopped. Rogue saw that the girls hand was going through its head and instantly it fell to the ground.
"Don't worry it won't happen to you honey. They call me Tattoo, you seen our Rogue?" Tattoo asked.
"What she look like?" Rogue 1 asked.
"That was dumb question she looks just like you for the love of god," she said.
"Well there are two other Rogue's so you got 't' be more detailed," Rogue replied then," Thank you by the way."
"Sorry and your welcome, lets go I've seen to many weird things already," she said then grabbed Rogue and they ran out.
Everybody wasn't having the best of times. Neither Kurt could teleport because so could their enemy and the Jean's and the Xavier's couldn't use their power because well they really didn't know why. All the creatures had just about every power they had telepathic and telekinetic powers as well as the power to fly. They had every power of every X-man and brother hood member and every Acolyte.
"Oh no what's happening?" Rogue 1 said as she saw everyone disappearing that was in her or the other Rogue's head.
"What do you mean we have to find the others," Tattoo said.
"To late were hear already Sugah," Rogue 3 said she was with some golden metal girl.
"Lifeguard did you find her?" Tattoo asked.
"Not ours but yeah," she replied.
"I found her though," said a man.
"Thunderbird finally you did something right," Lifeguard joked.
"AHHHHH," All Rogues's screamed at once.
"What's happening to them?" Tattoo asked.
No one answered, no one knew. Each Rogue fell to their knees and hugged her arms around herself. Everybody was returning into their heads and it was to must all at once. It was like re-absorbing them allover again but one hundred times worse. They were changing like they normally do when they absorbed somebody. They turned blue, grew wings, their hair changed it turned color grew long then short. As they screamed their voices change and it was gross to watch. Finally it stopped and they completely fell to the ground. At that exact time Tattoo was tackled from behind and Lifeguard was grabbed and pulled into the earth while Thunderbird was lifted into the air and was soon out of sight.
"How long were we out?" Rogue 1 asked.
"Not long from the looks of it c'mon we have 't' help somehow," Rogue 3 said.
"We need a plan we can't just go," Rogue 2 said.
"Like what they have every power we have ever absorbed and unlike ours it's at their mercy, what can possibly be their weakness?" Rogue 3 asked harshly.
"Anything we have 't' try anything and everything we can think of. Like ah don't know ever seen Freddy verses Jason?" Rogue 1 asked.
"WHAT?" The other two asked.
"Never mind it's a movie -MOVE!- " Rogue 1 shouted when she saw more of those creatures and some were attacking.
She hid behind a tree and when she looked straight ahead she was almost touching on of those things. She yelped and ducked just in time when a blast that was aimed at her went straight through the tree and through on of it's own as well.
Rogue 2 ran into a full parking lot and used the cars and other vehicles as shields and hiding spaces. " AHAAAAAAHEHEHEHE!" The creature laughed sounding like it was dying.
"Ya sound like the wicked which of the west!" Rogue 2 screamed and grabbed its head and rammed it mouth onto one of the water fountains.
It couldn't breathe or use any of its power it moved violently scratching at Rogue's skin and cutting her red and black leather bodysuit. It made gagging noises and she could see others heading her way.
"No way your almost dead just a little longer," she said through gritted teeth then it went limp.
She held it there still though just in case and she was glad she did because when she was ready to drop it, it sprung back to life and it tried to use whatever power it had. It was Gambit's power because it heated the water till it was boiling and then it was finally dead. She dropped it as fast she could because it was gross to feel and the water got on her hand and she had to hurry up because now she couldn't see any of those things and she knew they were around. "Well ya don't melt," she half joked.
She nursed her hand and then twirled around when she felt she was being watched. She saw a few shadows go across the cars. And she pressed her back to the statue. One of the cars lifted and it was being moved in certain angles. It was turned to where the sun reflected off the car and into her eyes and she covered them with her fore arm.
"HOW MANY OF THESE FUCKING THINGS ARE THERE?" she heard a distant voice.
She opened her eyes and saw Lifeguard with wing slicing at the creatures and the funny thing was there was never any blood they just died as if it was some old poor graphic movie.
"Thanks," she said then they went to find the others.
Rogue 3 was holding out she hit them they hit her and she had already killed about 4 of them buy making them hit each other. They were strong but not smart, and she used it to her advantage. She did flips and rolled and dodged when she could and took every chance she had to hit on for granted. That's when Tattoo showed up and just went through then killing them. Her skin began to move with the colors changing, and a word went right across her face it read Hi.
"Guess Tattoo suits you well," Rogue three replied.
They ran together killing many on their way.
Rogue 1 was running for her life. She was only a teenager and still in high school she shouldn't have to go through this. Then suddenly she stopped running.
"Ahm stronger than this don't dare doubt yourself Rogue, you're a loner the untouchable you're not weak. Ah will not let them make a fool out of meh," she whispered to herself.
She turned around and pulled her sleeves up. On of those thing were coming her way and head first. She ran further and then turned around and ran towards it. She touched it but then she felt nothing. It felt something though it stopped and shook violently scratching Rogue's face and ripping her clothes making her bleed. She yelped in pain and grabbed its head and put the railing of the malls stairs in its mouth. She elbowed the back of its head and its jaw broke and it died.
"OH MY GOD MO MY GOD WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?" a childish voice yelled.
Rogue 1 turned around to see everybody slowly waking up. "Shit" she muttered under her breath. Just then the other Rogue's came in with Thunderbird, Lifeguard, and Tattoo.
"Everybody's waking up," Tattoo said.
"Tell meh something we don't know," Rogue 2 said.
"Their dumb," Rogue 3 said.
"Thy laugh like a witch on drugs," Rogue 2 said.
"When the come in contact with our skin it drives them nuts we don't absorb them. Ah think thy have no soul or something," Rogue 1 said.
"Well that's just great what now?" Rogue 3 asked sarcastically.
"Strip," Rogue 2 said.
"What?!" the other Rogue's and Thunderbird, Lifeguard, and Tattoo yelled.
"It's okay look these people will run away screaming tryin' 't' reach safety, Bird boy, Biker girl and the female Colossus are well covered up an it would make things a hell of a lot easier," Rogue 2 said.
Rogue 1 and 3 looked at each other and they began 't' undress as well as the other Rogue. They stripped down to their underwear and laughed when thy saw that they all wore black. They kept their boots on though to make it more painful when they kick plus they never showed their feet.
"Okay split up, cover more ground we need 't' get this over with," Rogue 3 said.
"And now that everybody's wakened up they can use them as hostages or shields," Rogue 2 said.
"Why didn't they do that in the first place?" Tattoo asked.
"Their dumb they probally thought they were dead already so lets go," Rogue 1 said.
They ran out through either the door or the giant holes in the wall. They were all gone when Rogue 1 went back," what the hell are you people waiting for were tryin' 't' distract em' so you people can flee 't' safety and the world is back 't' normal, GO!" she yelled and everybody ran out some thanking her and others accusing her but they all left.
"You're a good one," Tattoo said from behind.
"What do you mean?" Rogue 1 asked.
"I would have left them I don't care if they die or not they don't understand us, they fear us," Tattoo said.
"Ah don't have anything against all humans just the ones that ah know don't like meh because of hat ah am. And aren't you an X-man?" Rogue 1 asked.
"No this is my punishment. Back at my home I took a drug called "Kick" and it made me kill any human I could find because a well respected mutant was killed and no not Xavier. A student got killed and as my punishment I have to bring our Rogue back and not kill any humans while at it." She said.
"Ah'll probally be right behind you on that one, meh hated by both mutants and humans, because of mah so called gift," Rogue said.
"We have a lot in common," Tattoo said.
"Your cool ah wish we could keep in contact but were from different worlds," Rogue said then there was an explosion.
They ran and saw an all out war between the creatures and the mutants. Fighting six on about twenty and many dying quickly. Tattoo went to help them fight but Rogue 1 had other things on her mind. She ran as fast as she could to where just about everything started. She ran and she found Sinister typing like a mad man. She slowly crept up on him and was just about to touch his face then she remembered hi watch. She quickly balled her fist and threw a punch. He moved out the way but she punched the computer instead and without any added strength it hurts like hell.
"Well well well you didn't really think I'd run so easily did you?" he said.
"You should have," Rogue 1 said.
He threw a punch and Rogue blocked. It was like watching a movie they moved with such speed, they were totally even. He hit her she hit him they would every once in a while hit each other at the same time. Rogue punched him and he caught it. He kicked her and with her free hand she blocked it. She kicked him in his side and he stumbled back.
"You wonderful at this to bad your not on my side," he said.
"Ah know isn't it?" she replied with a smirk.
He kicked her feet right from under her and she fell hard her cheek smearing on the floor. She saw Nathan and the others begin to get up as well but Remy and the brotherhood didn't move. She wondered for a second if maybe she killed them. A boot was up against her throat in no time. She wrapped her leg around his and tripped him then got up as fast as possible but he was just as fast.
They stood their looking at each other for a while then Rogue began to jump up and down with her fists in the air like a boxer. He smiled ah threw another punch and she simply moved back. She punched him and she hit his side bit he was obviously no going to go down easy. He grabbed her head and banged it against the wall countless amount of times. He kept going until her hands found his and she threw him over her shoulder but he almost landed on her.
"Ah should have paid attention when Logan was teaching self defense," she muttered.
He got up and ran into her he began to punch her and smack her. She fell to the ground and he began to kick her. He cleared his throat and pressed his watch (he does that a lot) and she was lifted into the air. She was coughing up blood and clutching her gut. It hurt to close her eyes tight and it hurt to talk or smile. It hurt to move because the scratches she received from earlier were beginning to become scabs and they cracked when she did any of those things. She figured the watch gave him the power to do things only mutants can do. She felt something inside her, it hurt. He was using the power he had to make her inside feel as if they were being messed with.
"This is because you can no longer touch," he said then Rogue felt like she was being lightly touched from head to toe.
"Pervert," she said.
He laughed and her arm broke with out warning. She screamed and just then bolts of electricity hit inside the half destroyed room they were in and one hit Sinister. They stopped and Rogue fell to the floor, she looked up and saw Tattoo with a broken wire with sparks still flying out of it.
"Than you," Rogue said. Sinister was out like a light and the other Rogue's came in. They messed with the computer and then a light came and they were gone. Every other Rogue, Tattoo, Thunderbird, Lifeguard, Nathan everybody that wasn't supposed to be there was gone. Rogue wanted to say goodbye. She turned around and she felt arms wrap around her.
"Our mistake we'd never leave without saying goodbye but we have to leave now, Rogue 2 said.
"Here are your clothes they aren't to much good but they're there," Rogue 3 said.
"Is Nathan and the others laving to?" Rogue 1 asked.
"Yeah as a matter of fact the base inside Magic City it with us you have a jacket in there two actually they are the same though." Rogue 2 said.
"It's two black trench coats right? Keep em' there are two of them one for each of you ah want you 't' remember how you met two more versions of yourself," Rogue 1 laughed hiding the pain she was in.
"Thanks here ah have one for you to," Rogue 3 said giving Rogue 1 her black jacket, which had the sleeves rolled up, and pointing to Rogue 2 when she said she had another to give to her.
"Hey we all got signature jackets here ah have many more," Rogue 2 said giving Rogue 1 her brown leather jacket that was just like the one she received before but it was brown a little worn out and warmer. "Ah have mah signature gloves in em' so," he drifted off.
"Same here in both jackets with lipstick which a doubt any of you would wear, it's double sided one purple and the other such a dark green it hard 't' tell if it's green or black so," Rogue 1 trailed off as well.
"Ah don't have signature gloves but ah have these. They let you see at night and they look cool and ah have the same lipstick as you just one sided and red," Rogue 3 said.
They laughed then stopped and,"Sugah," they said at the same time then laughing harder.
"Ready girls," Nathan yelled.
They stopped laughing and sighed. They wanted to but their pride wouldn't let them they hugged creating a small bubble just like before but with three less people, it was cute and harmless while small but they broke apart and Rogue 2&3 walked off and disappeared.
"You're going to be the only one to remember all of this," Nathan said.
"What do ya mean?" rogue asked.
"I mean that you boyfriend and Wanda and the others including you X-men and Everett and Yvette are only going to remember only till that day the X-men found out what you were up to. After that it's like nothing ever happened. You can't tell what you know will happen in the future okay, Wanda will have remembered nothing of hr joining us. It will bring many questions?" he said. "Don't worry about a ride back home each of you have a train ticket to go back, here," he handed her seven tickets.
"But ah thought you all were from different times," Rogue said.
"We are but things happen pretty much the same. For example your with and so are the other Rogue's you all have special feelings for Remy but things are just hard between you two," he said then he was gone.
"Bye," Talia, Clarice, and Bishop said. And they were gone as well.
Just then Rogue felt a tingling feeling in her body and Remy and the others finally woke up. They looked around and spotted Rogue, an almost fully naked Rogue.
"Rogue what happened where are we at?" Fred asked.
"New Orleans," she said simply.
"How'd we get here yo?" Todd asked.
"Well what is the last thing you remember?" rogue asked.
"Asking Wanda where she was going everyday after school," Fred asked.
"And what did you say?" Rogue asked Wanda.
"I said I went with you to some club and we played virtual reality games where it was something like the Matrix," Wanda said.
"Well your hear because Wanda was so obsessed with the game she won a contest and you all came with her here to see her play," Rogue said.
"And did I win?" Wanda asked.
"You mean you don't remember?" Rogue asked.
"NO!" Pietro shot.
"She got such a high score she overloaded the system and brung down the house literally. Turns out the game was a hit but it was using some sort of new technology making the machines go wacko, that's why this place is such a dump," Rogue said.
"Why am I here then?" Bella asked joining the group's conversation.
"BELLA?!" Remy said.
"Not now Remy are you going to answer my question?" she demanded.
"You saw us walking around as a group you and your brother spotted Remy and followed us. You constantly kept your brother from making a scene and well whatever," Rogue said.
"Where is my brother?" she asked.
"Behind you," Rogue said.
Bella and the others looked around and saw Julian. Just then the earrings Rogue and Bella were wearing shattered and the same with Julian's watch.
"Okay Chere you seem 't' be de only person who remembers what happened. Mind telling Remy why?" Remy asked.
"Not really but ah will say this. It's good 't' always keep your guard up," Rogue said.
"Well why are you half naked with scars that are no doubt new since they are still bleeding on you? There is something your hiding isn't there?" Julian said accusingly.
Rogue tensed at having nothing to really say. She just smiled and said," You should know it's your fault."
"What do you mean by that?" Both Bella and Julian said.
"After about an hour of holding back unknown anger for Rems here you and him quietly talked for about a few seconds then you screamed mutant and everybody went crazy. Lance here got mad and caused half this place to fall. Wanda hexed everybody and toad spit on everybody he could. Pietro made a human hurricane and Fred here sent people flying. Remy of course made an exploding entrance. And ah well a have mah deadly touch. Nobody ever listens when you warn them," Rogue said.
"What do you mean deadly touch? That also doesn't answer my question to why your half naked, and no normal person could make marks like those" Julian said.
"Don't speak of what you don't know or understand. All you need 't' know is don't touch meh," Rogue said then turned around.
Remy and the Brotherhood got up. "Remy you and your * cough * wife have things 't' work out." Rogue said.
"I'm thinking we were told this but I don't remember," Todd said.
"Here," Rogue handed each of the Brotherhood a ticket. She walked to Remy "They are the train tickets 't' get you back home. Don't worry they were free for the competitor and their friends and family so if you decide 't' stay don't feel guilty." Rogue walked away.
"Rogue really what happened you have marks every where and not only the scratches but bruises and a giant hand mark on your neck," Lance said as he reached for Rogue's neck.
Rogue panicked and grabbed his covered arm and flipped on his back. Before she realized what she did it was already done. She stood over Lance and got on her knees so that he'd be trapped between her legs. She held his arms apart from his body and leaned her head to his ear. "Ah sorry ah panicked."
"It's okay you must not be used t control over you po-," he was cut off.
"No Lance not anymore it's gone mah control it's gone." Rogue said then got up and looked around. She smiled when she noticed that someone left her a new pair of clothes. Just like the other pair but fresh. She unfolded it and a letter fell out. She opened the letter and smiled.
_ Nathan is such a guy. There are underwear and other of the sort in there and a new suit. Were gonna sound corny but do whatever you feel is right with any situation. And girl thanks for the watches really. Maybe one day well bring you here and have some sort of double dimension reunion. We will meet again no doubt but hopefully under better circumstances next time. You still have access to the hotel and when you get there, there is a present for you. You still get paid but 3 x's as much 1 4 U and the other was Wanda's but she doesn't remember and the other cuz they really need to fix that place up. Sinister will be taken care of but you not out of the hot water yet wish you were though. Just be careful.
Talia and Clarice _
Rogue smiled and ran to the bathroom. It was funny because it was the only place that was untouched. She grabbed a lot of paper towels and freshened herself up and put on her new stuff. She wore her new black leather jacket she got from Rogue who was part of the X-Treme X-men. She wore the other Rogue's gloves and her own lipstick. She smiled and walked out to find everybody still in there. She saw that Everett and Yvette were gone and she prayed they were safe.
"Okay," Pietro said stretching the word.
"Hey Rogue that's the same outfit in the game," Wanda said.
"Yeah well ah have things 't' take care of, see you guys back home," Rogue said.
"Chere?" Remy called after her.
"Yeah Remy?" Rogue said innocently.
He walked up to her and looked at her dead in the eye," You gonna tell Remy what happened here right?"
"Fuck off," her innocent expression turned to a hatred on and she walked out. Remy was left totally confused.
Rogue was suddenly mad. She just remembered what she thought about Remy and Bella. ~Here he is flirtin' wit meh when he has a wife. He thinks ahm a challenge and nothing else. ~ She thought.
She ran to the train station, which she hitched a ride to. She was lucky when she over heard a conversation.
"It's to late do you have an earlier one?" said some girl.
"No sorry?" said the ticket booth guy.
Rogue walked up to the girl. "Sorry to ease drop but ah over heard you say you wanted a later time?" Rogue said as nice as can be without scaring the poor thing. The girl nodded her head yes. "Well ah happen 't' have a ticket set to leave at 8:15 and ah need an earlier one. Ah would like 't' trade tickets with you and if you don't think it is real ah have no problem checking," Rogue said.
The little girl thought it over then handed her ticket to Rogue. "You know sugah' don't evah just hand a ticket or anything else over like that." Rogue said.
"Are you a mutant?" the girl asked.
"Why do you ask?" Rogue asked.
"Because it's normally mutants that wear those tights and matrix costumes," the girls said.
"Yeah ah am and ah have never heard the word mutant and normally in the same sentence before," Rogue said.
"Are you on your own?" the little girl asked.
Rogue though about. ~ Ah am leaving the X-men so ah guess so ~. "Yeah," she said.
"Can you give me some advice?" the little girl asked.
Rogue grabbed the girl and took her to a bench. "Sure but tell meh are you a mutant?"
"Well I don't know. My mommy kicked me out of the house one day when I screamed and the next thing we knew we were at the beach. When I screamed again we were back home so does that count?" the girl asked.
~ This girl is too cute ~ "Yeah and ah know what you power is."
"Oh oh what?" she begged.
"You're a teleporter. You can transfer yourself and obviously others with you to different places. And long distances to," Rogue said.
"Yeah," the girl said.
"Don't be so happy people will not uh. be friends with you because of what you are."
"Why?" she asked.
"They are afraid of us."
"Why?"
"Because the don't understand."
"Why?" the girl asked.
"Hush and listen. Don't go around letting everybody know you have a power. Only other mutants but still be careful whom you tell. There are good and bad mutants just like there are good and bad humans. Use the fact that you have a power that nobody else knows about to your advantage. Tell meh when you screamed did you think of the beach?" Rogue asked.
"No," the girl replied.
"What did you think about?"
"Um.. building a sand castle," she replied.
"Okay then whenever you feel like you're in danger think of some place like that okay?" Rogue said.
"Okay."
"Also don't befriend everybody that says they are good. Learn to fight and do whatever you have to be safe, how old are you?"
"Nine," she said.
"Oh and don't sound so damn cheerful all the time people will wonder why you sound so cheerful and why you aren't with an older adult. Got it?"
"Got it so learn to hurt people and don't talk a lot and think of lots of sand when a dream turns bad?"
Rogue laughed and stood up," Yeah something like that."
"What's your power?"
"Well if ah were 't' touch anybody or anything with skin ah take part of their life energy and what they know ah know. So unless ah have something over my skin I can't touch you," Rogue replied.
"So you can't kiss your mommy goodnight?"
"Ah don't have a mommy sugah."
"Are there other mutants? I thought every mutant had the same gift," the girl said.
"No but mah brother can teleport and he has blue fur with fangs and a tail with three fingers and toes. He's s good person though," Rogue said.
"Bye," the girl said suddenly.
"Bye," Rogue said then went to catch her train. ~Pity a girl so young al ready being denied a normal life. So young and Naive ~ Rogue thought.
The next day that Rogue got some much needed sleep she was in Bayville again. She looked around and saw it was nighttime. She needed to go to the institute real quick. She knew they were mad and she was truly sorry but if she stayed she'd live with guilt heavy on her every day. Plus she figured this was how it was supposed to be because in all the visions she saw she was never around. She opened the door after sneaking past the alarm system and walked in to see the team dressed in their uniforms.
"ROGUE!" Kitty and Kurt screamed, they went to hug her but she gave them a look.
"Stripes?" Logan said.
"Everybody sorry 't' worry ya. It will never happen again-"
"Damn right it won't bec-" Logan started but rogue cut him off.
"It doesn't matter." Rogue said.
"Rogue your face what happened?" Jamie asked.
"You were gone quite a long time," Scott said.
"Stripes?" Logan was getting impatient.
"You have a hand mark around your neck," Jean said reaching for it.
"NO!" Rogue shouted. "Ah mean sorry."
"It's okay child remember," Ororo said.
"No mah control it's gone all of it so now were back 't' square one or ahm back," Rogue said and she slowly walked upstairs packed her things again and walked back down. She said nothing as she walked out but she was glad when no one came after her she was hurt but glad at the same time.
"Stripes?" a gruff voice said.
"Logan not now," Rogue said without looking back.
She was spun around to face Logan's chest since he is taller than her. "Just because you lost control-"
"It's not that. Ah don't car that ha have lost control because the only person ah'd probally ever let really touch meh like a lover would be Remy," Rogue said.
"If you could explain a little better it would be nice," Logan said.
"Ah met his wife. Ah found out he didn't really like meh but it was the challenge of touching the untouchable he liked. Logan that's another betrayal 't' add 't' the list. Let's see mah real parents, Mystique, any non-mutant friends that ah had before ah was what ah am. ~ The X-men~ (She thought it but didn't say it). Nathan and the others god ahm only about 't' turn 16 and ah've been through so much. But its okay because ah've lived through it. Ah must be as strong as nails by now. Logan ahm a loner ah don't belong in a team like the X-men," Rogue said.
"I understand blah blah blah," was all Rogue heard.
She didn't know what it was but when he said he understood something snapped. ~ Do you understand what it's like to have all those betrayals on you? 'T' have killed your mom and hurt your brother so much? To know the future and not see yourself in it? To have killed and been so naïve, 't' be selfish and not care. To have everybody's memories in your head? To be denied touch? To know that the only person you could have possibly loved like nothing about you? To live with a secret you can never tell. Can you Logan know what it is like 't' have different versions of yourself be your real friend? Can you understand what it's like to be a mutant, a female mutant having a period every month? To watch your back all the time because people want you dead or want you on their team. Can you possibly understand what it feels like during the summer wearing layers of clothes and watching others have fun? Please shall ah go on ~ Rogue thought to herself.
She realized Logan was still talking to her his back was tuned so she grabbed her things and touched him on the cheek and he was out. She went to the hotel and went to her room. When she entered there was a small animal asleep on her bed. There was a letter beside it.
_ Here is a ferret that was experimented on and is immune to any mutant powers directed at him. Bishop_
Rogue touched the animals nose and nothing happened there was already food for it and she smiled. "Dipstick no how about lil' man?" Rogue said.
He woke up and crawled with great sped on Rogue's head and slept. She smiled and relaxed. She felt something wet go down her face.
"Oh no you little-" Rogue said and what she named Lil' Man jumped off of her head and laughed.
*Camera zooms out and the last thing you can hear is Rogue's footsteps going back and forth with her cursing an animal out and animal laughter. *

~ Thoughts~
_ Telepathic conversation _
"Speaking"
Don't forget the real X-men are still in New York and the real Brotherhood members are out cold and Nathan and the others as well. So when I say something like ' Kurt blah blah blah ' it's not the real one okay? All right now that that is over with on with the story. Oh yeah and I'm terrible at accents. Think this will be the last chapter
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rogue 1 looked around. ~ This is ridiculous everyone in mah head in all mah heads or whatever is out and about. There are little gremlin lookin' creatures ready 't' kill us all. Ah do live an exciting life and ah think ah like this livin' dangerous Logan would be so proud, not ~ she thought to herself.
"Ready 't' die?" Sinister asked.
"Dude zat is such a veak line," Kurt said.
Then it all started the gremlins looking things flew into the air. That wasn't a surprise but what was a surprise was the fact that there were over one hundred and fifty people on the Rogue's side but they were seriously outnumbered and they kept coming from nowhere.
"Split up," one of the Wolverine's said.
Everybody went in all directions and so did their enemy's. They were everywhere the mall, park, lake, and different neighborhoods, in air and on land. It was a good thing the people were out but they wouldn't be for long and no doubt the fight would last long.
Rogue 1 had her back to Rogue 2 and 3. They were all back-to-back. All they could do was use the fighting skills they learned because they could no longer call on any power they wanted and even if they could it would be impossible to do so because their Psyches were out of their heads anyway. They were on land and their enemy was in air and on land.
"Readyyyyy and GO!" they said at the same time and began to swing at their opponents.
They dodged and some took the hit but they felt harder than they should. They knew the odds were most defiantly against them. Rogue 1 grabbed a rock and hit one of the creatures upside the head with it. Her hand went straight through.
"They can phase," Rogue 1 said.
Rogue 3 wanted to run but she couldn't. She threw a punch and it went through she threw then so fast that the creature she was hitting or trying to hit eventually had to let her hit it because it couldn't hold it's breath any longer. She hit it and it went flying. She smiled but her victory was short when two more came from behind and grabbed her under the arms they flew into the air and dropped her. She luckily landed in water but the impact hurt like hell. Rogue 2 wasn't doing any better she had to face four of them and one was flying the other was ghosting through things coming her way another was causing the ground to shake and another was running with Pietro's speed.
"Fuck they can run Pietro and cause earth tremors like Avalanche!" she half shouted.
She couldn't see the other Rogue's anywhere. She tried to run but the fast one caught her and punched her in the gut. She couldn't go flying like you're supposed to because it was still running then suddenly it stopped then she went flying. She screamed and before she could hit anything the flyer hit her from above and she went down. The Avalanche one had been causing them while the others were busy and the earth began to split (No not the entire earth just where their at). She fell in between the parted earth and was still screaming until she fell on a float surface. She hit the ground hard and her head hit something hard. Her head was bleeding she could tasted the bitter taste in her mouth. She looked up and saw a purple sky that then went back to being blue. She looked down and saw nothing but blackness. She couldn't call for help because one of those creatures might come after her. She saw one of the creature fall into the earth just as she did but it was dead or it was sleeping but as long as it didn't bother her she was just fine. She was still looking down when she felt herself being lifted off the ground.
"Shhhh it's okay were on your side were here to help. Have you Rogue?" it was a female voice.
Rogue 2 was gently put on the ground and she turned around. "Which one?" she asked.
"What do you mean which one?" she said back.
Rogue finally got a good look at her she was gold metal. "Ah mean there are two more other rogue's besides meh," Rogue 2 said.
"Okay hop on," the other female said.
She hoped on her back and watched as she grew wings and they flew into the air. Rogue 2 then noticed she was for from where she had started.
~*~
Rogue 1 was bleeding. She had glass allover the place her arms and legs and was actually laying in it. She was in a jewelry store being choked by one of those creatures. If only she could touch it but she couldn't reach. She was losing strength from struggling so much. She had burns from laser beams and her leg was held in solid ice. Just when she felt she was going to faint the grip loosened and she heard a woman speak.
"Die," she said and Rogue felt it's body go limp on her.
She looked up and saw a black woman. She was bald and had no pupils and her skin looked like it does when you look at an ocean floor seeing those drifting colors. She grabbed Rogue's arm and lifted her up.
"WATCH OUT!" Rogue 1 screamed as she saw another bust through the ceiling.
It flew to them and the girl did nothing but hold her hand out and the creature stopped. Rogue saw that the girls hand was going through its head and instantly it fell to the ground.
"Don't worry it won't happen to you honey. They call me Tattoo, you seen our Rogue?" Tattoo asked.
"What she look like?" Rogue 1 asked.
"That was dumb question she looks just like you for the love of god," she said.
"Well there are two other Rogue's so you got 't' be more detailed," Rogue replied then," Thank you by the way."
"Sorry and your welcome, lets go I've seen to many weird things already," she said then grabbed Rogue and they ran out.
Everybody wasn't having the best of times. Neither Kurt could teleport because so could their enemy and the Jean's and the Xavier's couldn't use their power because well they really didn't know why. All the creatures had just about every power they had telepathic and telekinetic powers as well as the power to fly. They had every power of every X-man and brother hood member and every Acolyte.
"Oh no what's happening?" Rogue 1 said as she saw everyone disappearing that was in her or the other Rogue's head.
"What do you mean we have to find the others," Tattoo said.
"To late were hear already Sugah," Rogue 3 said she was with some golden metal girl.
"Lifeguard did you find her?" Tattoo asked.
"Not ours but yeah," she replied.
"I found her though," said a man.
"Thunderbird finally you did something right," Lifeguard joked.
"AHHHHH," All Rogues's screamed at once.
"What's happening to them?" Tattoo asked.
No one answered, no one knew. Each Rogue fell to their knees and hugged her arms around herself. Everybody was returning into their heads and it was to must all at once. It was like re-absorbing them allover again but one hundred times worse. They were changing like they normally do when they absorbed somebody. They turned blue, grew wings, their hair changed it turned color grew long then short. As they screamed their voices change and it was gross to watch. Finally it stopped and they completely fell to the ground. At that exact time Tattoo was tackled from behind and Lifeguard was grabbed and pulled into the earth while Thunderbird was lifted into the air and was soon out of sight.
"How long were we out?" Rogue 1 asked.
"Not long from the looks of it c'mon we have 't' help somehow," Rogue 3 said.
"We need a plan we can't just go," Rogue 2 said.
"Like what they have every power we have ever absorbed and unlike ours it's at their mercy, what can possibly be their weakness?" Rogue 3 asked harshly.
"Anything we have 't' try anything and everything we can think of. Like ah don't know ever seen Freddy verses Jason?" Rogue 1 asked.
"WHAT?" The other two asked.
"Never mind it's a movie -MOVE!- " Rogue 1 shouted when she saw more of those creatures and some were attacking.
She hid behind a tree and when she looked straight ahead she was almost touching on of those things. She yelped and ducked just in time when a blast that was aimed at her went straight through the tree and through on of it's own as well.
Rogue 2 ran into a full parking lot and used the cars and other vehicles as shields and hiding spaces. " AHAAAAAAHEHEHEHE!" The creature laughed sounding like it was dying.
"Ya sound like the wicked which of the west!" Rogue 2 screamed and grabbed its head and rammed it mouth onto one of the water fountains.
It couldn't breathe or use any of its power it moved violently scratching at Rogue's skin and cutting her red and black leather bodysuit. It made gagging noises and she could see others heading her way.
"No way your almost dead just a little longer," she said through gritted teeth then it went limp.
She held it there still though just in case and she was glad she did because when she was ready to drop it, it sprung back to life and it tried to use whatever power it had. It was Gambit's power because it heated the water till it was boiling and then it was finally dead. She dropped it as fast she could because it was gross to feel and the water got on her hand and she had to hurry up because now she couldn't see any of those things and she knew they were around. "Well ya don't melt," she half joked.
She nursed her hand and then twirled around when she felt she was being watched. She saw a few shadows go across the cars. And she pressed her back to the statue. One of the cars lifted and it was being moved in certain angles. It was turned to where the sun reflected off the car and into her eyes and she covered them with her fore arm.
"HOW MANY OF THESE FUCKING THINGS ARE THERE?" she heard a distant voice.
She opened her eyes and saw Lifeguard with wing slicing at the creatures and the funny thing was there was never any blood they just died as if it was some old poor graphic movie.
"Thanks," she said then they went to find the others.
Rogue 3 was holding out she hit them they hit her and she had already killed about 4 of them buy making them hit each other. They were strong but not smart, and she used it to her advantage. She did flips and rolled and dodged when she could and took every chance she had to hit on for granted. That's when Tattoo showed up and just went through then killing them. Her skin began to move with the colors changing, and a word went right across her face it read Hi.
"Guess Tattoo suits you well," Rogue three replied.
They ran together killing many on their way.
Rogue 1 was running for her life. She was only a teenager and still in high school she shouldn't have to go through this. Then suddenly she stopped running.
"Ahm stronger than this don't dare doubt yourself Rogue, you're a loner the untouchable you're not weak. Ah will not let them make a fool out of meh," she whispered to herself.
She turned around and pulled her sleeves up. On of those thing were coming her way and head first. She ran further and then turned around and ran towards it. She touched it but then she felt nothing. It felt something though it stopped and shook violently scratching Rogue's face and ripping her clothes making her bleed. She yelped in pain and grabbed its head and put the railing of the malls stairs in its mouth. She elbowed the back of its head and its jaw broke and it died.
"OH MY GOD MO MY GOD WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?" a childish voice yelled.
Rogue 1 turned around to see everybody slowly waking up. "Shit" she muttered under her breath. Just then the other Rogue's came in with Thunderbird, Lifeguard, and Tattoo.
"Everybody's waking up," Tattoo said.
"Tell meh something we don't know," Rogue 2 said.
"Their dumb," Rogue 3 said.
"Thy laugh like a witch on drugs," Rogue 2 said.
"When the come in contact with our skin it drives them nuts we don't absorb them. Ah think thy have no soul or something," Rogue 1 said.
"Well that's just great what now?" Rogue 3 asked sarcastically.
"Strip," Rogue 2 said.
"What?!" the other Rogue's and Thunderbird, Lifeguard, and Tattoo yelled.
"It's okay look these people will run away screaming tryin' 't' reach safety, Bird boy, Biker girl and the female Colossus are well covered up an it would make things a hell of a lot easier," Rogue 2 said.
Rogue 1 and 3 looked at each other and they began 't' undress as well as the other Rogue. They stripped down to their underwear and laughed when thy saw that they all wore black. They kept their boots on though to make it more painful when they kick plus they never showed their feet.
"Okay split up, cover more ground we need 't' get this over with," Rogue 3 said.
"And now that everybody's wakened up they can use them as hostages or shields," Rogue 2 said.
"Why didn't they do that in the first place?" Tattoo asked.
"Their dumb they probally thought they were dead already so lets go," Rogue 1 said.
They ran out through either the door or the giant holes in the wall. They were all gone when Rogue 1 went back," what the hell are you people waiting for were tryin' 't' distract em' so you people can flee 't' safety and the world is back 't' normal, GO!" she yelled and everybody ran out some thanking her and others accusing her but they all left.
"You're a good one," Tattoo said from behind.
"What do you mean?" Rogue 1 asked.
"I would have left them I don't care if they die or not they don't understand us, they fear us," Tattoo said.
"Ah don't have anything against all humans just the ones that ah know don't like meh because of hat ah am. And aren't you an X-man?" Rogue 1 asked.
"No this is my punishment. Back at my home I took a drug called "Kick" and it made me kill any human I could find because a well respected mutant was killed and no not Xavier. A student got killed and as my punishment I have to bring our Rogue back and not kill any humans while at it." She said.
"Ah'll probally be right behind you on that one, meh hated by both mutants and humans, because of mah so called gift," Rogue said.
"We have a lot in common," Tattoo said.
"Your cool ah wish we could keep in contact but were from different worlds," Rogue said then there was an explosion.
They ran and saw an all out war between the creatures and the mutants. Fighting six on about twenty and many dying quickly. Tattoo went to help them fight but Rogue 1 had other things on her mind. She ran as fast as she could to where just about everything started. She ran and she found Sinister typing like a mad man. She slowly crept up on him and was just about to touch his face then she remembered hi watch. She quickly balled her fist and threw a punch. He moved out the way but she punched the computer instead and without any added strength it hurts like hell.
"Well well well you didn't really think I'd run so easily did you?" he said.
"You should have," Rogue 1 said.
He threw a punch and Rogue blocked. It was like watching a movie they moved with such speed, they were totally even. He hit her she hit him they would every once in a while hit each other at the same time. Rogue punched him and he caught it. He kicked her and with her free hand she blocked it. She kicked him in his side and he stumbled back.
"You wonderful at this to bad your not on my side," he said.
"Ah know isn't it?" she replied with a smirk.
He kicked her feet right from under her and she fell hard her cheek smearing on the floor. She saw Nathan and the others begin to get up as well but Remy and the brotherhood didn't move. She wondered for a second if maybe she killed them. A boot was up against her throat in no time. She wrapped her leg around his and tripped him then got up as fast as possible but he was just as fast.
They stood their looking at each other for a while then Rogue began to jump up and down with her fists in the air like a boxer. He smiled ah threw another punch and she simply moved back. She punched him and she hit his side bit he was obviously no going to go down easy. He grabbed her head and banged it against the wall countless amount of times. He kept going until her hands found his and she threw him over her shoulder but he almost landed on her.
"Ah should have paid attention when Logan was teaching self defense," she muttered.
He got up and ran into her he began to punch her and smack her. She fell to the ground and he began to kick her. He cleared his throat and pressed his watch (he does that a lot) and she was lifted into the air. She was coughing up blood and clutching her gut. It hurt to close her eyes tight and it hurt to talk or smile. It hurt to move because the scratches she received from earlier were beginning to become scabs and they cracked when she did any of those things. She figured the watch gave him the power to do things only mutants can do. She felt something inside her, it hurt. He was using the power he had to make her inside feel as if they were being messed with.
"This is because you can no longer touch," he said then Rogue felt like she was being lightly touched from head to toe.
"Pervert," she said.
He laughed and her arm broke with out warning. She screamed and just then bolts of electricity hit inside the half destroyed room they were in and one hit Sinister. They stopped and Rogue fell to the floor, she looked up and saw Tattoo with a broken wire with sparks still flying out of it.
"Than you," Rogue said. Sinister was out like a light and the other Rogue's came in. They messed with the computer and then a light came and they were gone. Every other Rogue, Tattoo, Thunderbird, Lifeguard, Nathan everybody that wasn't supposed to be there was gone. Rogue wanted to say goodbye. She turned around and she felt arms wrap around her.
"Our mistake we'd never leave without saying goodbye but we have to leave now, Rogue 2 said.
"Here are your clothes they aren't to much good but they're there," Rogue 3 said.
"Is Nathan and the others laving to?" Rogue 1 asked.
"Yeah as a matter of fact the base inside Magic City it with us you have a jacket in there two actually they are the same though." Rogue 2 said.
"It's two black trench coats right? Keep em' there are two of them one for each of you ah want you 't' remember how you met two more versions of yourself," Rogue 1 laughed hiding the pain she was in.
"Thanks here ah have one for you to," Rogue 3 said giving Rogue 1 her black jacket, which had the sleeves rolled up, and pointing to Rogue 2 when she said she had another to give to her.
"Hey we all got signature jackets here ah have many more," Rogue 2 said giving Rogue 1 her brown leather jacket that was just like the one she received before but it was brown a little worn out and warmer. "Ah have mah signature gloves in em' so," he drifted off.
"Same here in both jackets with lipstick which a doubt any of you would wear, it's double sided one purple and the other such a dark green it hard 't' tell if it's green or black so," Rogue 1 trailed off as well.
"Ah don't have signature gloves but ah have these. They let you see at night and they look cool and ah have the same lipstick as you just one sided and red," Rogue 3 said.
They laughed then stopped and,"Sugah," they said at the same time then laughing harder.
"Ready girls," Nathan yelled.
They stopped laughing and sighed. They wanted to but their pride wouldn't let them they hugged creating a small bubble just like before but with three less people, it was cute and harmless while small but they broke apart and Rogue 2&3 walked off and disappeared.
"You're going to be the only one to remember all of this," Nathan said.
"What do ya mean?" rogue asked.
"I mean that you boyfriend and Wanda and the others including you X-men and Everett and Yvette are only going to remember only till that day the X-men found out what you were up to. After that it's like nothing ever happened. You can't tell what you know will happen in the future okay, Wanda will have remembered nothing of hr joining us. It will bring many questions?" he said. "Don't worry about a ride back home each of you have a train ticket to go back, here," he handed her seven tickets.
"But ah thought you all were from different times," Rogue said.
"We are but things happen pretty much the same. For example your with and so are the other Rogue's you all have special feelings for Remy but things are just hard between you two," he said then he was gone.
"Bye," Talia, Clarice, and Bishop said. And they were gone as well.
Just then Rogue felt a tingling feeling in her body and Remy and the others finally woke up. They looked around and spotted Rogue, an almost fully naked Rogue.
"Rogue what happened where are we at?" Fred asked.
"New Orleans," she said simply.
"How'd we get here yo?" Todd asked.
"Well what is the last thing you remember?" rogue asked.
"Asking Wanda where she was going everyday after school," Fred asked.
"And what did you say?" Rogue asked Wanda.
"I said I went with you to some club and we played virtual reality games where it was something like the Matrix," Wanda said.
"Well your hear because Wanda was so obsessed with the game she won a contest and you all came with her here to see her play," Rogue said.
"And did I win?" Wanda asked.
"You mean you don't remember?" Rogue asked.
"NO!" Pietro shot.
"She got such a high score she overloaded the system and brung down the house literally. Turns out the game was a hit but it was using some sort of new technology making the machines go wacko, that's why this place is such a dump," Rogue said.
"Why am I here then?" Bella asked joining the group's conversation.
"BELLA?!" Remy said.
"Not now Remy are you going to answer my question?" she demanded.
"You saw us walking around as a group you and your brother spotted Remy and followed us. You constantly kept your brother from making a scene and well whatever," Rogue said.
"Where is my brother?" she asked.
"Behind you," Rogue said.
Bella and the others looked around and saw Julian. Just then the earrings Rogue and Bella were wearing shattered and the same with Julian's watch.
"Okay Chere you seem 't' be de only person who remembers what happened. Mind telling Remy why?" Remy asked.
"Not really but ah will say this. It's good 't' always keep your guard up," Rogue said.
"Well why are you half naked with scars that are no doubt new since they are still bleeding on you? There is something your hiding isn't there?" Julian said accusingly.
Rogue tensed at having nothing to really say. She just smiled and said," You should know it's your fault."
"What do you mean by that?" Both Bella and Julian said.
"After about an hour of holding back unknown anger for Rems here you and him quietly talked for about a few seconds then you screamed mutant and everybody went crazy. Lance here got mad and caused half this place to fall. Wanda hexed everybody and toad spit on everybody he could. Pietro made a human hurricane and Fred here sent people flying. Remy of course made an exploding entrance. And ah well a have mah deadly touch. Nobody ever listens when you warn them," Rogue said.
"What do you mean deadly touch? That also doesn't answer my question to why your half naked, and no normal person could make marks like those" Julian said.
"Don't speak of what you don't know or understand. All you need 't' know is don't touch meh," Rogue said then turned around.
Remy and the Brotherhood got up. "Remy you and your * cough * wife have things 't' work out." Rogue said.
"I'm thinking we were told this but I don't remember," Todd said.
"Here," Rogue handed each of the Brotherhood a ticket. She walked to Remy "They are the train tickets 't' get you back home. Don't worry they were free for the competitor and their friends and family so if you decide 't' stay don't feel guilty." Rogue walked away.
"Rogue really what happened you have marks every where and not only the scratches but bruises and a giant hand mark on your neck," Lance said as he reached for Rogue's neck.
Rogue panicked and grabbed his covered arm and flipped on his back. Before she realized what she did it was already done. She stood over Lance and got on her knees so that he'd be trapped between her legs. She held his arms apart from his body and leaned her head to his ear. "Ah sorry ah panicked."
"It's okay you must not be used t control over you po-," he was cut off.
"No Lance not anymore it's gone mah control it's gone." Rogue said then got up and looked around. She smiled when she noticed that someone left her a new pair of clothes. Just like the other pair but fresh. She unfolded it and a letter fell out. She opened the letter and smiled.
_ Nathan is such a guy. There are underwear and other of the sort in there and a new suit. Were gonna sound corny but do whatever you feel is right with any situation. And girl thanks for the watches really. Maybe one day well bring you here and have some sort of double dimension reunion. We will meet again no doubt but hopefully under better circumstances next time. You still have access to the hotel and when you get there, there is a present for you. You still get paid but 3 x's as much 1 4 U and the other was Wanda's but she doesn't remember and the other cuz they really need to fix that place up. Sinister will be taken care of but you not out of the hot water yet wish you were though. Just be careful.
Talia and Clarice _
Rogue smiled and ran to the bathroom. It was funny because it was the only place that was untouched. She grabbed a lot of paper towels and freshened herself up and put on her new stuff. She wore her new black leather jacket she got from Rogue who was part of the X-Treme X-men. She wore the other Rogue's gloves and her own lipstick. She smiled and walked out to find everybody still in there. She saw that Everett and Yvette were gone and she prayed they were safe.
"Okay," Pietro said stretching the word.
"Hey Rogue that's the same outfit in the game," Wanda said.
"Yeah well ah have things 't' take care of, see you guys back home," Rogue said.
"Chere?" Remy called after her.
"Yeah Remy?" Rogue said innocently.
He walked up to her and looked at her dead in the eye," You gonna tell Remy what happened here right?"
"Fuck off," her innocent expression turned to a hatred on and she walked out. Remy was left totally confused.
Rogue was suddenly mad. She just remembered what she thought about Remy and Bella. ~Here he is flirtin' wit meh when he has a wife. He thinks ahm a challenge and nothing else. ~ She thought.
She ran to the train station, which she hitched a ride to. She was lucky when she over heard a conversation.
"It's to late do you have an earlier one?" said some girl.
"No sorry?" said the ticket booth guy.
Rogue walked up to the girl. "Sorry to ease drop but ah over heard you say you wanted a later time?" Rogue said as nice as can be without scaring the poor thing. The girl nodded her head yes. "Well ah happen 't' have a ticket set to leave at 8:15 and ah need an earlier one. Ah would like 't' trade tickets with you and if you don't think it is real ah have no problem checking," Rogue said.
The little girl thought it over then handed her ticket to Rogue. "You know sugah' don't evah just hand a ticket or anything else over like that." Rogue said.
"Are you a mutant?" the girl asked.
"Why do you ask?" Rogue asked.
"Because it's normally mutants that wear those tights and matrix costumes," the girls said.
"Yeah ah am and ah have never heard the word mutant and normally in the same sentence before," Rogue said.
"Are you on your own?" the little girl asked.
Rogue though about. ~ Ah am leaving the X-men so ah guess so ~. "Yeah," she said.
"Can you give me some advice?" the little girl asked.
Rogue grabbed the girl and took her to a bench. "Sure but tell meh are you a mutant?"
"Well I don't know. My mommy kicked me out of the house one day when I screamed and the next thing we knew we were at the beach. When I screamed again we were back home so does that count?" the girl asked.
~ This girl is too cute ~ "Yeah and ah know what you power is."
"Oh oh what?" she begged.
"You're a teleporter. You can transfer yourself and obviously others with you to different places. And long distances to," Rogue said.
"Yeah," the girl said.
"Don't be so happy people will not uh. be friends with you because of what you are."
"Why?" she asked.
"They are afraid of us."
"Why?"
"Because the don't understand."
"Why?" the girl asked.
"Hush and listen. Don't go around letting everybody know you have a power. Only other mutants but still be careful whom you tell. There are good and bad mutants just like there are good and bad humans. Use the fact that you have a power that nobody else knows about to your advantage. Tell meh when you screamed did you think of the beach?" Rogue asked.
"No," the girl replied.
"What did you think about?"
"Um.. building a sand castle," she replied.
"Okay then whenever you feel like you're in danger think of some place like that okay?" Rogue said.
"Okay."
"Also don't befriend everybody that says they are good. Learn to fight and do whatever you have to be safe, how old are you?"
"Nine," she said.
"Oh and don't sound so damn cheerful all the time people will wonder why you sound so cheerful and why you aren't with an older adult. Got it?"
"Got it so learn to hurt people and don't talk a lot and think of lots of sand when a dream turns bad?"
Rogue laughed and stood up," Yeah something like that."
"What's your power?"
"Well if ah were 't' touch anybody or anything with skin ah take part of their life energy and what they know ah know. So unless ah have something over my skin I can't touch you," Rogue replied.
"So you can't kiss your mommy goodnight?"
"Ah don't have a mommy sugah."
"Are there other mutants? I thought every mutant had the same gift," the girl said.
"No but mah brother can teleport and he has blue fur with fangs and a tail with three fingers and toes. He's s good person though," Rogue said.
"Bye," the girl said suddenly.
"Bye," Rogue said then went to catch her train. ~Pity a girl so young al ready being denied a normal life. So young and Naive ~ Rogue thought.
The next day that Rogue got some much needed sleep she was in Bayville again. She looked around and saw it was nighttime. She needed to go to the institute real quick. She knew they were mad and she was truly sorry but if she stayed she'd live with guilt heavy on her every day. Plus she figured this was how it was supposed to be because in all the visions she saw she was never around. She opened the door after sneaking past the alarm system and walked in to see the team dressed in their uniforms.
"ROGUE!" Kitty and Kurt screamed, they went to hug her but she gave them a look.
"Stripes?" Logan said.
"Everybody sorry 't' worry ya. It will never happen again-"
"Damn right it won't bec-" Logan started but rogue cut him off.
"It doesn't matter." Rogue said.
"Rogue your face what happened?" Jamie asked.
"You were gone quite a long time," Scott said.
"Stripes?" Logan was getting impatient.
"You have a hand mark around your neck," Jean said reaching for it.
"NO!" Rogue shouted. "Ah mean sorry."
"It's okay child remember," Ororo said.
"No mah control it's gone all of it so now were back 't' square one or ahm back," Rogue said and she slowly walked upstairs packed her things again and walked back down. She said nothing as she walked out but she was glad when no one came after her she was hurt but glad at the same time.
"Stripes?" a gruff voice said.
"Logan not now," Rogue said without looking back.
She was spun around to face Logan's chest since he is taller than her. "Just because you lost control-"
"It's not that. Ah don't car that ha have lost control because the only person ah'd probally ever let really touch meh like a lover would be Remy," Rogue said.
"If you could explain a little better it would be nice," Logan said.
"Ah met his wife. Ah found out he didn't really like meh but it was the challenge of touching the untouchable he liked. Logan that's another betrayal 't' add 't' the list. Let's see mah real parents, Mystique, any non-mutant friends that ah had before ah was what ah am. ~ The X-men~ (She thought it but didn't say it). Nathan and the others god ahm only about 't' turn 16 and ah've been through so much. But its okay because ah've lived through it. Ah must be as strong as nails by now. Logan ahm a loner ah don't belong in a team like the X-men," Rogue said.
"I understand blah blah blah," was all Rogue heard.
She didn't know what it was but when he said he understood something snapped. ~ Do you understand what it's like to have all those betrayals on you? 'T' have killed your mom and hurt your brother so much? To know the future and not see yourself in it? To have killed and been so naïve, 't' be selfish and not care. To have everybody's memories in your head? To be denied touch? To know that the only person you could have possibly loved like nothing about you? To live with a secret you can never tell. Can you Logan know what it is like 't' have different versions of yourself be your real friend? Can you understand what it's like to be a mutant, a female mutant having a period every month? To watch your back all the time because people want you dead or want you on their team. Can you possibly understand what it feels like during the summer wearing layers of clothes and watching others have fun? Please shall ah go on ~ Rogue thought to herself.
She realized Logan was still talking to her his back was tuned so she grabbed her things and touched him on the cheek and he was out. She went to the hotel and went to her room. When she entered there was a small animal asleep on her bed. There was a letter beside it.
_ Here is a ferret that was experimented on and is immune to any mutant powers directed at him. Bishop_
Rogue touched the animals nose and nothing happened there was already food for it and she smiled. "Dipstick no how about lil' man?" Rogue said.
He woke up and crawled with great sped on Rogue's head and slept. She smiled and relaxed. She felt something wet go down her face.
"Oh no you little-" Rogue said and what she named Lil' Man jumped off of her head and laughed.
*Camera zooms out and the last thing you can hear is Rogue's footsteps going back and forth with her cursing an animal out and animal laughter. *
