"Ah know...so am ah. But every time ah drain someone ah always get scared that they won't wake up." She stared don at her hands.

He nodded and gently brushed some hair away from her face. "Its' alr'ght Chere, I undastand. But ya know, every time ah get drained ah always come back for ya."

She pulled away from his touch. "Ah know but it's jus' you were the first person who liked me for what ah am...a mutant...and if anything were ta happen ta ya...ah don't know what I'd do with mahself." She stood up. As tears began forming behind her eyes. Before Remy could see the she stood up. "Ah've got ta go" And she flew off back to the mansion.

"Wait Chere, don't leave!" He shouted after her. After a while he sighed, sitting back by himself and staring off in her direction.

When she reached the mansion instead of going in she climbed one of the trees in the yard. "Ah'm tired of being a mutant. Ah don' want mah powers anymore. Ah don want ta hurt anyone anymore." She pulled her knees toward her chest and cried.

Another 10 minutes or so and the Remy came soaring back towards the mansion on his bike. Instead of parking inside the garage he left it outside. He got out, glancing up at Rogue's room from the ground, trying to spot her.

Rogue didn't hear Remy return...."Why was ah cursed with this power?" She continued to sit and contemplate her powers.

Hearing something coming up from one of the trees, he wandered over to investigate. "Chere, is dat you?"

"Yeah ah'm up here." She climbed down and wrapped her arms around Remy carefully so as not to harm him. "Ah don't want these powers anymore." she broke down crying. "Ah want ta be normal and not a freak."

He puts his arms around her and gently caressed her hair. "Ah, ma belle, you're no freak, we can't control de powers we were born wit."

"What about the Professor, Scott, and the others? They all can control their powers.... and Ah'm always gonna be the one who can't and is bound for an eternity of never being able ta touch anyone...*Looks into Gambit's face and dries her tears putting up a strong facade* Now Cajun ah don't want ya ta be worrien' 'bout lil ol' me, so ah'm gonna go up ta mah room and be alone for awhile." she flew up to her room and sat down on her bed and cried.

He sighed, not knowing what to do. Instead of going to bed he decided to take a walk, he couldn't sleep at the moment. Wandering around, he couldn't stop worrying about her, despite her previous wishes.
