            A lot of people don't go by the show.. erm.. yeah well, She absorbed Carol but I decided she'd just have the powers 'cause she already has voices in her head. ;) I don't know much about Carol anyway.. More Romy on the way!

                                                                                   

            Gambit groaned as he rolled on his back. He opened his eyes and winced. His head hurt like no tomorrow. The Cajun slowly attempted to sit up – and did. He looked around the room then used the end of a table that he had been laying next to help himself get to his feet. He felt his heart deflate when he saw who was strapped onto the table. He stumbled over to her side.

            "Rogue?" He ran a finger down her cold cheek. He saw that the woman – Carol – was placed next to her. She was also unconscious and unlike Rogue's arm, which was now strapped down, Carol's still reached out. It didn't take him long to put two and two together. Remy quickly unhooked the straps. "Chére, wake up.." He carefully shook her but she didn't even stir. Then he shook her more violently. "Please.. fo' me.. wake up.." Afraid that he was bruising her, he eased his grip. "I'm serious.. Rogue.. open yo're eyes." Through the thin layer of clothing he could feel her body heat building up. He picked her up from off of the bed and sat in the corner of the room with her in his arms.

            "I'm scared." Amara whispered holding onto Bobby's arm. It had been nearly a half hour since they heard the screams. Amara shivered. 'It sounded so much like Rogue combined with someone else's voice which means there's someone with her. That person probably didn't know about her powers and touched her.' "I hate this place." Her eyes got watery. She let go of Bobby and fell to her knees. "I want to go home!"

            "Right now, we ain't got no home. The sentinels destroyed it, remember kid?"

            "Logan, that doesn't help." Ray shrugged then leaned against the wall along with Jamie. Bobby just put a comforting hand on Amara's shoulder. He couldn't think of anything else to do nor say.

            Wolverine just shrugged then walked further until he came to the room at the end of the hallway. He then opened the door. "Mystique." He growled.

            She walked right past him. "Took you long enough. By now they have started the experiment on Rogue." Everyone looked at her with questioning looks. "Trask wants to see how many powers she can absorb. I tried to free you all and get her out of here before he started but he found out." She continued walking. "He has surveillance systems hooked up all around here so he knows our every move."

            Rogue slowly opened her eyes to see Gambit's sleeping face right above hers. "Remy.." She whispered gently touching his cheek. His eyes snapped open almost immediately. He stared into her eyes then wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

            'Can't breath..' A voice muttered inside her head. Her body tensed up. This voice wasn't like the others. It seemed louder inside her head. *

            "Oh mah god.." The southern whispered. Her jaw hung and her eyes were wide. "Mah-"

            "Hate to break this up but I believe I have a task to finish." They heard Trask say so loudly they both winced.

            "Rogue!"

            Rogue broke the hug. "Jubilee!?"

             "Never knew you cared so much, Mystique." Logan snarled as they followed her down the hallway. She shot him a glance. He didn't even know why he decided to follow her. It seemed like a trap since she 'said' she was taking them to where Trask was holding Rogue.

            "Shut it, Wolf-boy." She snapped. "After we get her, we get Kurt and we're going."

            "What about the others? And the Prof?" Amara asked, holding on to Bobby again. "We can't just leave them here."

            "And we're not." Logan glared at the blue skinned woman. "We're a team."

            "And no one gets left behind." Jamie spoke up, proudly.

            Mystique crossed her arms. "Then I find Rogue and Kurt and you get the others."

            "After we get Rogue, We get the others." Logan snarled. Mystique just shrugged but she didn't look too happy about the decision.

            "Ah thought yah were dead."

            "I thought you were dead!"

            "Sorry to break up the reunion but I have something to finished." Trask snapped. Gambit's arms wrapped themselves securely around Rogue's waist. He wasn't letting that weirdo do anything else to her. Trask noticed. He smirked. "How cute. Two mutties are in love."

            Rogue broke out of Remy's arms and struggled to stand up. "Ah'll show yah love, Sugah." She took a step forward but due to the sudden fatigue she fell to her knees. Her eyes went wide and she looked down. Kill him. Use your inner strength. Look what he's doing to the others. Get him. Anger was building up in her.

            Everyone was silent as they scared at her. Trask was still smirking. Rogue looked up at him. Her eyes were a cold furious green. "Ah'm gonnah tear that stupid smirk right off yah ugly li'l face." Her feet lifted right off the ground and she lunged at him. She gripped his collar and sent them both back. They busted right through the door and banged right into Mystique.

            "'Dat fille got some strength in 'er." Gambit muttered. Jubilee stared into the hallway wide eyed. She somehow managed to nod in agreement. He stood up, griped his shoulder with his other hand and walked forward. "C'mon Jubes."

            ***

            "Get off of me!" Mystique yelled pushing the now unconscious Trask off of her. Rogue fell to her knees right next to his side, then touched his flushed face with her fingertips. She let out a short gasp as all his memories flowed into her and his hatred for mutants. She stumbled back, fell against the wall then slid down it.

            Amara, Bobby, Logan, Mystique, Jamie, Jubilee and Gambit all stood there in the hallway questioning what to do next. Suddenly, footsteps heard from behind made them turn around.

            "He may have failed to find out how to destroy all of you." The woman with brown hair stood behind them. "But I won't."
