Chapter 3
Grey skies.
Pouring rain.
Dirty streets littered with trash.
The air filled with the pungent smell of blood and death.
Crowds of people huddled together, slowly being forced to walk to their deaths. They are solemn, dying to be free....beginning to believe that the only way to be free is to die. Many absentminded rubbed particular spots on their bodies.
Some rub the backs of their necks.
Others rub their forearms.
Hands.
Foreheads.
Chests.
Rubbing the numbers burned into their bodies. Marking them. Branding them and herding them like cattle.
What had they done to deserve this fate.
"Be born" they had been told.
One boy, huddled closely to his parents, walked along with the group.
'Where are they taking us?' he wondered.
He was knocked from his thoughts and he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his body. For a second he thought it might have been his father, but quickly realized that it wasn't when he saw a few soldiers herding his parents away from him.
"Mother! Father!" he screamed as he reached for them.
"Eric! My baby! My son!" his parents wailed.
The young man let out a blood curtling scream as his parents became smaller and smaller in his line of vision. He continued to release his anguish when a steel gate had been closed trapping his parents and everyone else that had been seperated from their families on the other side. Eric knew that they all were being led to their death.
The soldier began to struggle with the young boy and called out for help from his fellow fighters.
Another came up and began to pull at Eric, but it became increasingly harder and harder to budge him from his spot.
Eric was oblivious to the struggle and continued to reach for his parents.
More guards grabbed him, but were surprised when they all were being pulled towards the gate. They were even more astonished when the inside corners of the gate began to bend backwards towards them.
They continued with this tug of war, until one soldier crashed the butt of his gun onto Eric's head with a sickening crunch.
The force stopped pulling the soldiers and they dropped the young man into the muddy street.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOTHER! FATHER!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOMMA! DADDY!"
"Rogue!....Rogue?! Wake up! Rogue come on!"
"No! No let me go! Please! Momma! Poppa! No!"
"Rogue come on! Come on girl! Wake up!"
Her browns eyes shot open and she looked around wildly and began to struggle in someone's iron grip.
It was Logan.
"Let go!"
"Not until you calm down girl!"
"Ah said 'LET GO!'"
"Rogue---Marie, I---Holy Shit!"
Logan suddenly found himself thrown against the wall and held there in a spread-eagle position.
His eyes closed, he grunted in frustration as he tried to fight the unseen force holding him in place.
He opened his eyes and saw Rogue standing on top of her bed, in her night gown, with her right hand held out in front of her.
'Oh shit...she's doin' this...but how----Magneto...shit!'
"Marie darlin', come on. Ya gotta stop this. It ain't you....it's Magneto, he's tryin' to take over..."
"Shut your mouth you pathetic X-man....."
"What the hell is going on here?"
It was Scott. Jean, Ororo, Professor X, and a bunch of the students were right behind him. It was Rogue's first night in the mansion all over again.
Rogue/Magneto's cold blue eyes stared back at them. They widened slightly, but then she smirked.
It wasn't her smirk.
"One-eye, it's Marie....Magneto..." he ground out as Rogue's magnetic force pushed and pulled the adimantium in his body.
"Oh Goddess..." Ororo gasped when she saw Logan's position.
"What?!"
"Scott, she absorbed Magneto remember?"
"Right? What do we do?"
"I'm going to try and contact her..."
Jean placed her hand on her own head and concentrated on Rogue's mind. However, a few minutes in, she collasped with a cry.
"Scott!"
He caught her in mid fall.
"What happened?"
"Her mind....it's so jumbled...I can't get through to her...."
Scott looked to be at a loss.
"Professor...can you do something?"
"I could, but not without hurting her..."
"Don't...ugh....hurt her...."
"Well, we have to do something, or next thing you know, she'll be ripping that skeleton out of your body...."
"Why...what a wonderful idea X-man...." came the slightly accented voice from Rogue's mouth. "I was simply going to play with him for a little while, but you've given me a much better idea."
Rogue curled her fingers into her palm and Logan's back arched.
"If yer.......going to do.....something ugh...,yer better.....do it quick!"
"Rogue please...let Logan down....You have to fight Magneto...You cannot let him control you....."
Rogue/Magneto ignored her pleas and continued to incredibly slowly pull the adimantium from his bones.
"Argh......."
"Professor, you must do something...Logan may not survive this..."
"I know Ororo,...I don't want to hurt her.., but we must help Logan.."
Xavier focused on Rogue, he was about to enter her mind when a voice broke his concentration.
"Rogue...Marie....what is wrong with you....this isn't like you at all...."
It was Bobby and he had somehow managed to get passed the X-men and stood right in front of Rogue's bed.
"Come on babe...this isn't you...this is Magneto....You would never hurt Logan...not after all he's done for you...and you wouldn't hurt the rest of us either."
Rogue blinked and put a hand to her head.
The force against Logan lessened only slightly. The metal wasn't being ripped from his body anymore, but he was still being held against the wall.
"Marie...come on..fight it. The Rogue I know wouldn't let anyone, especially Magneto, push her around and hurt her friends....come on Rogue..."
Rogue wobbled a bit and fell to her knees.
At the same time, Logan fell into a heap against the wall. Ororo rushed to his side.
"Bobby?--"
"Yeah Marie...it's me...fight him..."
"--Ah-ah---he's so strong...Ah, don't know if Ah can..."
"You're stronger...fight him...you're in control..not him..."
"Ah--Ah---never! You insignifican't X-men are finished..."
Rogue/Maneto raised her hand and pointed it at Logan.
Logan involuntarily grabbed Ororo by the throat and slammed her into the wall. The claws of his right hand popped out and his hand slowly moved towards her face.
"Now I know that Sabertooth wanted to be the one to do this, but I'm sure he won't mind if Logan does...."
Ororo clawed at Logan's hand around her throat. Logan looked at her apologetically and fought against Magneto's control with every fiber of his being.
Bobby suddenly grabbed Rogue.
"Rogue! Stop this! You're hurting Logan, you might kill Ororo!"
"Kill Ororo?...NO...Ah can't hurt them...Ah-Ah---"
"Stop this...please. We're you're family....don't do this..."
"ah need help....help me Bobby please..."
"Professor?"
"Keep talking to her Bobby, the jumble in her mind is beginning to dissipate..."
"Marie..you can do this...I know you can...you wouldn't want to hurt your family would you?"
"N-No...ah, ah wouldn't..."
"Then fight him Rogue...fight Magneto...drive him out...Let us help you.."
"Ah'll try...."
She closed her eyes and held onto Bobby with a grip that would rival Logan's.
Speaking of the Wolverine, the control of his body became his own again and he instantly released Ororo and retracted his claws. They both slumped down with them holding each other.
"Ah...ah....Bobby...it hurts...."
"Keep it up babe..."
"Don't fight me Rogue, let me help.."
It was Charles. He had entered her mind and was helping Rogue conceal the personalities running around in her mind.
"Charles...don't do this!" It was Magneto's accented voice once more. "Don't lock me away. You know I'm right!"
"You're wrong Eric...you have no place in this girl's mind...and we will drive you out!"
"Aaaaarggggghhhhhh!" the voice switch from Magneto's to Marie's southern drawl.
She collapsed into Bobby's arms.
"Professor, is she?"
"I--I--We won't know until she wakes up..."
"Marie...please be okay..."
