A Whisper in the Night By: Rogue Marie LeBeau
Prologue May 15th ***3
~She looks so fragile, pale, an' thin hooked up to all these wires. ~ The young woman looked at Rogue and was horrified at what she saw.
~The picture she sent t' me shows a beautiful, vibrant young woman full a' life, happiness, an' love.... hope for the future. ~ The woman clutched the picture to her chest with both hands. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Rogue lying on the bed in the med lab. Rogue was attached to about a dozen different machines each beep seemed to be loosening her precarious hold to life.
The young visitor extended her pale thin hand as if to brush the stray white bangs from the sick woman's face.
~Just one touch an' she'll be better. Ah know the consequences, but ah'll d' it for her. Ah'd do anything for her, even if it means dyin'. What d' ah have t' lose? ~
Rogue's eyes fluttered open just as the girl's hand was about to make contact with her brow.
"No!" Rogue yelled at the visitor, "Ah can't let y' d' this t' yerself! It's mah time. Ah've done what ah needed t' d', but y've got so much more life t' live. Ah've come t' terms with this now y' need t' too."
"Please Marie" the girl pleaded "Y've got so much t' live for. Please let me d' this. Please! Think about Remy! " The girl thrust the picture to Rogue.
Rogue looked at the picture with a sad smile then handed it back to her guest.
"Ah know sugah," Rogue told her "he'll be o.k."
The girl lunged forward to try and touch Rogue. Rogue mustered up all her remaining strength and slugged the young woman in the gut, sending her flying to the floor.
"Ah said NO!" Rogue said forcefully.
"Well, fine" the visitor sobbed, "but ah refuse t' stay 'round and watch y' DIE! Ah'll leave the same way ah came in so no one will ever know ah was here."
Rogue raised a hand "Please don't go. Stay the X-Men can help y' "
"No, Marie, the only one who coulda helped me was y' an' y' too that option from me"
The young woman slipped out the ground floor window. Turning she looked back at the window with a sob she whispered, "ah love y' Marie", then the girl stumbled back into the moonless night.

May 30th
Today Remy LeBeau and the rest of the X-Men lay to rest one of their own. Just a few hundred yards from the back gate they gather in a small burial plot to pay their last respects.
Remy sobs profusely at the sight of his frail, beautiful, shell of a wife lying in the casket. He kisses her sweet, cold, lifeless lips right before they lower her into the dark, damp ground.
He chokes on the words as he say's his final good-byes to his beloved,"J' t'adore ma chere toujour."
The stone at the head has a carving of a single magnolia on it and reads. "Marie 'Rogue' LeBeau cherished friend beloved wife."
The seemingly invincible X-Woman had lost her battle to an invisible foe.... cancer.
Her friends and loved ones stand by and grieve as their salty tears mingle with the softly falling rain...............
