"I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make through the rain"
-Mariah Carey, "Through the Rain"
Only a week more passed before Artemis was able to admit to someone other than her best friend that she was raped. She was ganged up on and raped by four men who couldn't deal with their grudges. She allowed the Professor into her mind, where he gently probed for the truth and found it. He did not force her to relive it, but instead brought the memory out of her mind and into his and relived it for her. He normally would not do this, but this was a special scenario. The perpetrators were given a minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. It was a little strange for awhile, life in the Mansion without some of it's highest-profile members. But after awhile they moved on. Artemis at no point trusted a man completely or even, if she could avoid it, partially, for two years. Then Remy LeBeau appeared and became her new best friend. He dated Rogue for awhile, but their hearts weren't really in the relationship, so they broke it off. It took a whole two days for Remy and Artemis to get it together and sleep with each other. Two months later, they were engaged.
If you or someone you know has been raped, call 911 as soon as possible. I know it's a painful thing to relive, and you don't have an easy out like Artemis did, but it's important to tell someone so that the rapist can be brought to justice. You don't want to be a rape victim. You want to be a survivor.
